cially for this purpose. Capt. Howgate
ony would be at Discovery Harbor,
Lady Franklin Bay, point which can
be reached annually with little difficult
ty 10y ships bringing supplies, and
which would serve as base of opera
tions from which other colonies could
be sent out, when practical, to other
locations further north. In this manner
a line of colonies within easy commune
cation of each other could be formed to
the farthest northern point possible,
and finally to the pole. Should the OBJ
stacles be too great at first, being con-
stantly op the ground, they would al
ways be ready to avail themselves of
any favorable opportunity that might
occur, and, consequently, would be
more likely to succeed than under any
other circumstances.
There will be no difficulty finding
men OF the right stamp for such an I'M
dertaking, Capt. Howgate thinks the
only difficulty will be to choose from
the numbers, all equally fitted, who
will present themselves. The expert
ence of late explorers prove that ordi-
narily healthy men can endure the
climatic v1cIsitudes of any point hith-
erto reached, besides, the improved
modes of preserving vegetable and 9th
er foods now arrived at, places SO many
comforts within their reach, that there
is no danger to be feared from the once
dreadful scourge of Arctic navigators,
the scurvy.
Besides being supplied with every
thing necessary for their comfort and
protection, those colonies are to be fur
nishad with number of Esquimaux
attendants, VINO will attend to the
rougher portions of the labors connect
ed with their situation, so that exist
ence will be made as tolerable as pos
sible under the circumstances. That
this plan is the most feasible one yet
proposed there can be no doubt, and,
whether it be successful or not, is de-
serving of fair trial.
To carry out this project requires
some expenditure of money, and it is to
be hoped such money as is required
will be easily forthcoming. Capt. How
gate asks Congress to appropriate $780,
900, or such other sum as may be
thought necessary, for the purpose of
carrying cut his intentions. There is a
bill at present before Congress for this
purpose, and no narrow views of econ
omy or petty caviling should be al
lowed to interfere with it's passage.
There is principle of national honor
involved in the successful solution of
of this Arctic problem which should
not be overlooked. America is fast
taking the lead among her sister ma
tons in all matters of energy and en-
terprise, let her show her usual 60
ahead spirit in this particular, and
prove to the world that this polar diff
Guilty is not too much for American
pluck and perseverance,.

Scarlet Fever.

The London Lancet calls attention to
the Importance, IS a safeguard to the
p,.blic health, of securing the early de-
lection of cases of scarlet fever, it be-
ing of incalculable consequence not
only to the patient, but also to the COM
munity, IN order that timely measures
may be taken for preventing the spread
of the disease. The Lancet says that
the throat symptoms are the most
trustworthy for the purpose of diagno-
sis in the initial stages of scarlet fever;
the soft part of the palate is extensive

as is the case in the first instance of or

ton is met with, accompanied by a
very hot skin and a very quick pulse,
attended or proceeded by sickness, with
a thickly-furred tongue, red borders,
and prominent papilae, case of scar

that, in the large proportion of cases,
sickness occurs within twenty-one or

Centennial PauDers.

mia. COTIeS NOW 1OTR bulleuQ,
There is an important element of the
Centennial exhibition which remains
and must remain for the winter be-
cause of sheer inability to withdraw,
and that is the large class Of Centen-
NAL fortune-hunters, who came here
with little or no capital, expecting to
make it in some magical or unusual
way. This element found more or less
employment during the exhibition, and
while the city was crowded and they
were not burden on public charity,
no one seemed to know Of its existence.
Since the departure of the money
spending crowd and those who exhib-
tied to them, this former class have
come visibly to the surface, and the
city is now found to be filled with these
outside paupers, and the regular means
of charity are overwhelmed by the
great number Of applicants which they
are unable to provide for. This state
of facts led the public to judge hastily
that there was much greater depres-
sion among the manufacturing inter-
ests of the city this winter than last,
and hence a much greater number Of
unemployed, and greater consequent
suffering. While the last two facts are
true, though not the causes, the former,
however, is found to be incorrect upon
inquiry among the manufacturers of
some leading lines Of goods. From
them it is found that in most cases
they are employing the same or more
help than year ago-in some cases at
less wages, but in a majority at the
same as in last December. On further
inquiry the fact is learned that very
large proportion of the applicants for
charity are strangers, and, indeed,
able-bodied men, who are utterly una
BILE to get work. Thus the city is bur-
dened now with an unusual number of
paupers, as direct result of the Cen
tennial All the places Of charity are
over-crowded, and also the house of
correction and criminal institutions,
where men get committed to escape
starvation. It has been necessary,
therefore, to start large number of
private places and soup-houses.

Pale as ashes. Frank looked at
Walter, who met his glance with the in
quiry: Chow do you make it out ?'
/" / have thought her bad, but never q

81 do not understand"
Maud Lyle was once the betrothed
wife of Andy White. They quarreled
and parted over a simple girl. This is
well known. Yet until this hour I did
not suspect poor Audy died foully."
"Wlat reason have you for believing
this?" asked Walter.
Frank turned quickly.
His shadow following close upon
his footsteps, and her adherence of
the flowers by whose fatal perfume he
died. Let us retire now. By this hour
to .morrow night my father must be q
witness to these shadows"
At the breakfast table they met
again, and after the bride-wife had left
the room Frank began his tale.
Of course, Mr.. Lyle pooh-poohed the
idea as reposterous-too outlapdish
for belief; but nevertheless, half an
hour before midnight he passed into
Walters room, and waited the hours
approach which was to reward this
strange sight.
As the great clock struck the first
chime of midnight's witching hour his
frame shook like one la q fit of ague
Eleven, twelve, the irOn-tongue pro-
claimed, and, as the sound died slowly
away, again the footsteps pressed the
carpeted hall. Swinging open the door,
Frank pointed into the darkness where
the ghostly form led the sleeping
woman towards the roof. A great sob
broke from the old mans lips as he
followed the younger men into the
wake of the vision.
Hist!' cried Frank, IS they emery.
ed upon the roof, "she is speaking"
"Soft, SOFT" cried the somnambulist
Gle sleeps; she shall not tear him
from me! thy perfume, rose, shall steal
the life | love, So, SO, they rest upon
his breast. Ha, ha, no flower as sweet
as tuberoses blow"
Chuckling to herself, she stepped
upon the stone coping circling the roof
and called softly: ANDY, Andyw
AS he heard the cry, Mr. Lyle shook
like leaf, and grasped his sons arm
for support. Again the sleeper called
upon the specter, and out of the dark
ness it stepped toword her, bearing in
its bony fingers a hundred withered
stems of the tuberose.
AS he beheld the decayed blossoms,
Mr.. Lyle uttered a shrek of horror,
and staggered back. Tie cry awoke
the sleeping woman, and with a
piercing scream, she tottered and fell
over into space
They heard the body crashing down
down through the leahess trees, and
then with a dull thud it struck the
frozen earth, and even as Maud Lyles
dying shrek rent the midnight air, the
wrath of Andy white faded away for
ever.
Down in the old ehurchyard in a
quiet, shady spot, the body of the
beautiful murderess lies in repose; no
flower blooms upon her grave, for cen
as the plants bud, they wither and de-
cay.
Long years have almost erased her
face from the old mans memory, but
hidden away he keeps a withered
bunch of those fatal flowers, and sole
remembrance of those terrible shad-

AN exchange says the reason our
Congressmen cannot accumulate for
tune like Cardinal Antonelli's upon q
salary as large as his, is because they
do not have the cardinal virtues. It's
all very well to say 80, but the Italian
did not have to support a wife and
daughters in Washington.

Special Election for President.

In case of removal, death, resigna-
ton, or inability of both the President
and Vice-President of the United States,
the President of the Senate, or, if there
is none, then the Speaker Of the House
of Representatives, Tor the time being,

printed in each state.
The notification shall specify that
electors of q President and Vice-Pres-
ident of the United States shall be ap-
pointed Or chosen IN the several states
as follows.
1. If there shall be the space of two
months yet to ensue between the date
of such notification and the first Wed
nesday In December then next ensuing,
such notification shall specify that the
Electors shall be appointed or chosen
within thirty-four days preceding such

matter.
Within the last few years the az
tempts to reach the pole have been
more persistent than at any previous
period, and spirit of rivalry seems to
have sprung up between this country
and Great Britain as to which shall
attain the high honor of reaching it
first. Hayes struggled bravely with
the problem, and then Hall took it up,
but, though their endeavors added
greatly to our knowledge of Arctic geo.
graphy, they failed in their main OBJ
ject. In 1875 England fitted out one
of the most complete expeditions that
has ever yet been started, but this,
complete as it was, did not accomplish
as much as many of the more poorly
fitted out expeditions that had preceded
1t. Capt. Mares returned without hav-
ing discovered any trace of the open
polar sea, Or. in fact, of any available
passage towards the still distant pole.
It is supposed by many, however, that
this polar sea opens and closes period
icaily, and that an expedition that
would reach it during one of it's open
seasons, would successfully reach the
pole. If this be the case, Capt. How
gate, of the U. S. Signal Service, pro-
poses the best possible plan for testing
the truth of the theory. His plan is to
plant colony at some point within the
Arctic Circle, this colony to be sup
piled with every requisite necessary for
heightened residence in such a eli.
nate, and composed of hardy, expert
enced veterans in Arctic navigation and
exploration, who will be chosen spe.
