miners committee and superintendent,
and since the meeting it has been diff.
cult to obtain any information. We
are informed, however. that the meet
ing was held at the request Of superin-
tendents. who, it IS said, will take such
steps as might be feasible to
prevent any very serious trouble
arising out of an order recently pub
iished by Miners Unions. namely, that
after the first Of September next, ne
person not q member OF the Union
would not he allowed to work as a
miner in the ground. except as former
or superintendent. There was a
lengthy discussion on the matter. while
good feeling and desire to effect
fair and amicable settlement was shown
on Doth sides. Finally the desired OBJ
jet was accomplished by an agreement
on the part Of the superintendent, that
after the 10th inst. they would dis
charge from the mines any miners re-
ported to them AS not being members
and refusing tn become such. 1t is a
source of qualification to every body
that the matter has been amicably set
tied, and at the wise course pursued in
taking time by the forelock which
brought about this meeting where
by concert of action WAS Sc
cured; otherwise. by the action of
some single hot-headed superintend-
ent, or by imprudent conduct OH the
part OF Individual miners, O condition
Of feeling might have been brought
about. which would have resulted in
no good to any one.
There was fire on d street to- day,
the loss amounting to some ten
thousand dollars. 1t IS almost certain
to have been the work of an incendi-
airy. The whole loss was covered by
insurance.

ARCTIC VoYAGEs.-The failure of
the British Arctic Expedition, under
Captain Mares, to reach the North
Pole recalls similar unsuccessful at
tempts on previous voyages from
this country and England, since the
Franklin expedition sailed. In
1848 9 the British ships Enterprise
and Investigator were sent out. In
l849 the Plover. ResoIute, Assist
ance, Intrepid, Pioneer, Lady Frank
lin, Sophia, Prince Albert and Felix,
all British vessels, sailed; and also
the American expedition in the Ad-
vance and Resolute. In 1851 to the
British expeditions then out were
added the ship North Star and
steamer Isabel In 1853 the British
ships Phenix and Talbot we're out,
and in 1854 DR.. Kane's expedition
in the Advance were out for two
winters. In 1850 the British steam
er Fox sailed, and DIR. Hayes's expe-
dition also from this country. AT
ter that the Arctic voyagers became
fewer. Capt. Halls expedition in
the Polaris was made in 1871 3, the
steamers Juniata aud Tigris also
going about the same time on sum-
mer cruises The series is closed by
Capt. Mares expedition, and at pres
ent no further explorations seen to
be contemplated by either the
United States or England.

BosToN SHIP OWNERS AND SAN
Francisco TowBoATs. - The Alta
California of the 9th contains a let
ter from a Boston correspondent
giving an account Of several meet
ings held by Boston ship owners to
consider the high rates of towage
charged at San Francisco, during
which several interesting facts we're
brought to light. Mr.. ]. H. Sears,
a merchant on State street, and for
merly in command of vessels bound
to San Francisco, is the leading
spirit of this movement. He COM
planned, among other things, of the
league between the pilots and tug
boats, and of the excessive charges
of stevedores. He cited the case of
the ship Ocean King, which-when
the tugboats Sol Thomas and Look
out were rivals-was towed from
Vallejo street to Mission Rock, again
moved, and then again from one side
of the wharf to the opposite side,
the charges being respectively $50,
$50 and $50, or total charge of $50,
for which the tug had been fast to
her three times. The same ship had
recently been moved from the
stream to Oakland wharf, and from
there into the stream, and from
the stream to sea and the
ship paid for this service 1915.
Other merchants, particularly Samuel
G. Reed, Thayer & Lincoln, Henry
Hastings and Nicholson & Co., all
spoke to the same effect, denouneing
the extortionate port charges of San
Francisco, and agreeing to build one
or two powerful tug.boats of their
own to send to San Francisco to do
their towing. Mr.. Hastings said,
ave are not going to start an op.
position company, we don't want to
go into the towing business, we sim.
ply mean to send a boat or two to
attend to our own business"
Sufficient capital has already been
subscribed, and unless some compro-
mise is effected id San Francisco by
which the exorbitant charges are re-
duced, there is no doubt but the Bos-
ton merchants will send their own
tug-boats and furnish their own
stevedores to attend to their vessels
in that port. Prominent British mer-
chants, as well as New York houses,
are connected with this movement,
and the San Francisco loHg-shore
men and steam-tugs will have to
lower their rates or take back seat
in the contest with Yankee pluck and
enterprise.

A MYSTERIOUS SCHEME.-On the
9Th ult., articles were filed in the
County Clerks Office at San Francis
co organizing the Alaska Ship-build-
ing and Lumber Company, with
capital of $1O,OOO,OOO in gold coin.
The objects of the formation of this
capital and brain fiber into a compa-
nv, and the mission to be accom-
plished by its unpretentious birth,
were multifariously set forth in the
documents fled, and were principal
", as we are informed by the Chron-
icle, to acquire timber and territory
by purchase OF otherwise, in Alaska,
or other Territories or States of the
United States, or elsewhere" This
choppy collection of clauses, cover
ing every description of land busi-
ness, was followed by the declara-
ton that the organization would also
engage in the building of ships,
steamers and other craft with which
to navigate the vastly deep, and also
to construct foundries, machine shops,
saw-mills, wharves, landings, dry and
other species of docks, buildings,
railways, roads, and in short to do a
little OF everything on grand scale.
But even this was not all, the COM
pany declaring that they would en-
gage in the purchase and exchange
of all kinds of vessels; in the acquir-
ing of coal, mineral and timber lands,
taking and giving such security as
might be thought proper in taking
and giving leases of all descriptions
of property; in navigating ships
wherever they wanted to; in buying
and selling merchandise, produce,
bills Of exchange, foreign and domes-
tic, and in fact conducting a CONNER
cial business generally. The COM
pany is to continue for fifty years,
with nine trustees for the first year,
as asfollows: Henry B. Tichenor, Mat
thew Turner, Thos. Brown, William
7. Coleman, John NJ. Peck, L. S.
Adams, William Burliug, Timothy L.
Barker of Oakland and Henry D.
Bacon, each taking fair slice Of the
100000 shares in the corporation at
500 each. On the 9Oth of Decem-
Der Mr.. Piper, in the Lower House
of Congress, introduced bill grant
ing the Alaska Ship-building and
Lumber Company the privilege Of
purchasing one Of the Sitka Islands
lying on the southern coast Of the
Territory at s125 per acre, for the
purpose Of building ships and pro-
curing lumber. The bill also pro-
vided that within two years from the
date Of its passage the company
shall construct at least one ship Of
not less than 1900 tons burden. and
shall thereafter vigorously prosecute
the business of shp-building on the
island, with the privilege Of purchas-
ing other land in Alaska at the same
price, all to be surveyed by the Sur
veyor General of the Olympia Land
District. The bill was referred to
the Committee on Public Lands, and
there it remained At our latest ad

The truth that man is half animal has too
often been ignored by divines and moral
lists. The health which is dependent upon

a mans piety than has generally been sup
posed. Every minister of the Gospel has
TO Grapple with cases of conscience which

ical disorder whose remedy is in the phar-
macopeia, or more frequently in the lar

tary, and occasional diseases are constant
ly at work, modifying mems opinions,
feelings, and practices. DIR. Mason, of New

Illness may not be very flatteIing to our

The transcendentalist did "the universe"
and, accepting them, we must bow to the
plain fact that ladder reaching to heaven
must, if we are 10 climb 1t, have its feet up
on the ground, and that 10 reach 10 the
highest degree of spiritual excellence we
must begin with physical and mental
soundness. 1t is an indubitable truth that
a man not only reasons better, but loves
more warmly, gives more geneSously, and
prays more fervently, when we'll than
when i'll. A man of unquestionable plety
once said that he could not worship God
until he had eaten his breakfast. 1t Is equal
ly true that a man who is we'll fed, clothed,

one who lacks the comforts of life. A man
before dinner may talk scandal or write
scathing criticism may crawl like horse
fly over the character or the writings ofa
neighbor but after he has well eaten aud
drunken the thing is an impossibility.
There is something in generous meal that
exercises the devils of disparagement and
calumny, and substitutes therefor the spir-
its of good fellowship and philanthropy.
1t may be doubled whether half of the sui
cides, murders, heresies, false PHILOSOPHERS,
aud apostasies that have stained the annals
OF our race have not had their origin re-
motely in disordered stomach. Voltaire
affirms that the massacre OF st. Bartholo-
