Dust on the Danube.

A correspondent with the Russian army
writes: "The Russian army naturally
can not appear to very much advantage
when it is shrouded in dust. The paper
on which am writing is thick with the
nauseous and aH-pervading powder; it
begrimes our camp beds 1--WE prefer these
to the Unlocking cots in the mean and
cheap Khan). The officers are covered,
after half an hours ride, with an impene-
trable pail; marching column is simply
pillar of dust; cavalry can be traced
merely by swiftly moving dust. Across
the Danube on the hills one can judgeof
the progress of the, troops by means of
the dust by day and the carp fires at
night Every hour or two country
wagons laden with officers come rafting
i'll from Guirgevo The Russians, it has
been said, carry a great deal'of baggage;
they need n great deal. Their arrange
ments for Transporting are admirable.
Nowhere have | seen broken wagons, ex-
cept my own, nowhere long trains stopped
by kicking and plunging horses. Every
thing moves with regularity and pre-
eision; albeit with marked slowness,

The Soldier and His Whiskers.

A French military paper, commenting
on a circular recently issued by the Min
lister of War, containing instructions
concerning the amount of hair which the
French soldier may allow to grow upon
his face, pleads for permission. for every
man in the army to wear full beard end
whiskers. The existing regulations
which, however, do not appear to be very
rigidly adhered to in certain points are
very precise. The beard is rot to be
grown at all; but an imperial Is allowed
on the lower lip, provided it does not
exceed four centimetres in breadth and
six in length. The mustache is to grow
along the whole length of the upper lip
and is not to be waxed or pematumed in
any way. Whiskers are not to extend
more than ten millimetres below the
lower part of the ear, and are not to be
allowed to join the mustache. As a
matter of fact, however, whiskers are not
permitted at all in the French army, and
the mustaehe is frequently pointed in
manner extremely suggestive of the use
of the forbidden substances. 1t is pre-
scribed; also; that the above regulations
shall be adhered to as far as possible,
even when the troops are in the field, the
generals commanding being instructed to
exercise their discretion as to when full
beard shall be allowed to be worn. Even
reservists, called in temporarily to rejoin
the colors, are required to shave off their
boards and whiskers, and trim their
mustaches after the approved pattern.

WORCESTER Press: some day the
sexton was standing on the church steps
wiping his melancholy features with a
red bandana. A hearse stood near, and
three or four carriages were drawn up
behind it. The notes of the organ float
ed out of the window with solemn effect.
a stranger came along and said: /" Fu-
neral?" And the old sexton gravely
bowed his head-it was. "Who's dead?'
The old man again wiped his brow and
gave the name of the deceased "What
complaint ?" asked the inquisitive
stranger Solemnly placing his ban
danna in his hat and co. ering his bald
head, the old sexton made answer:
There is no complaint; everybody is
entirely satisfied .-...s -...-r 49,.

ARCTIC EXPLoRATIoNs.-We had sup
posed that the public would be tired by
this time of sending out Arctic expeditions
at great expense and hazard of life, without
any adequately repaying results. 1t seems,
however, that no less than five exploring
parties are now on foot in Europe, or in
contemplation, aside from the project
which will be laid before Congress at the
coming extra session, known as Capt. How
gates plan. This latter looks to an entire
abandonment OF the old methods of Arctic
exploration, and to the establishment of
colony in the northern part OF Greenland,
whence exploring parties can be sent out
with better base of supplies and assist
ance than from any vessels, according to
the methods heretofore pursued. 1t is stated
that coal in alum dance has been found in
the region it is proposed to occupy and
there is little doubt of other advantages in
favor Of this project. And yet the reasons
generally given in behalf of these costly
and still hazardous expeditions are hardly
such as 10 justify them. The idea of an
open Polar seaside from the utility of 1t,
suPposing its existence-is now given up
by most intelligent investigators. a party
sent ont from the last English expedition
reached higher altitude than was ever be-
fore attained-only about four hundred
miles from the Pole-and they found any
thing but an open sea. The scientists may
be able to see the advantages Of helping
Capt. Howgale TO carry out his plan, but
they ought TO be able to make them quite
clear TO the country, before Congress is
called upon to grant an appropriation for
the purpose. Journal.

This is the official journal of the AMER
ICAN METRIC BUREAU, the headquarters
of which are at fremont Place, corner of
Beacon street, Boston, Mass. 1t appears to
be monthly sheet, al len cents number,
the object Of which is 10 extend informa-
ton throughout New England on the Met
rio system of weights aud measures. The
members of the Bureau are animated with
the patriotic pride of placing New Eng
land among the foremost in adopting this
new system; and they ask the hearty CO.
operation Of every New England man.
Oar New England States have heretofore
enjoyed the reputation OF being at the head
OF the country in all matters pertaining to
its moral and intellectual interests, and if
we desire to keep mp that reputation we
have a considerable effort TO make. 1t
will not do TO lay back upon our oars to en-
joy the fruit of what we have done, instead
of striving to keep the lead. There is ra-
Their TOO much evidence of a backward ten
dency among us.
One Of the benefits Of the new system Of
weights aud measures would be that it
would save a great deal of time and trouble
with our school children. 1t can be very
much easier learned than the old system,
and when once learned ii can never be for
gotten. One need never TO refer to the
books for it, as he is often obliged 10 do
now in order to discover what the standard
measures of the old system are. For any
part of New England TO hesitate about tax
ing measures 10 introduce the new system
into speedy use, would be like using the

the White House in business hours visit
or must run the gauntlet of three secreia-

or cabinet ministers come directly in from
the hall after giving their names to a mes

talives come in steady stream. Mr..
Hayes has chair placed facing his, to
which he motions each caller by turn, ris-
ing to shake hands with him as he advan-
ces, aud then resuming his own seat. Some
times when the conversation is designed 10
be especially private, he gets up and takes
his visitor aside into window alcove, and
sometimes, but very rarely, he goes out
with him into his retiring room, adjoining
The President seems to be perfectly at home
in his new position, and there is said to be
frank and hearty courtesy in his manner,
just the opposite Of Grants reserve and i'm
mobility. He talks with freedom and
ease which remind one OF Abraham Lin
ccln, but he don't tell funny stories, and
has more dignity of Fearing than the great
emancipation had.
