In the bright morn from out the little bay
We slowly drifted and at noon the wind,
O'ercome with heat, had tagged and drop
ped behind.
Under the tyrannous sunshine all The day
We moved so lazily one scarce could say
We moved at all. Upon the deck at night,
Beside the moon blanched sail, beneath the
bright
High-hung, great stars, with open eyes we
lay;
Slept for a moment in utter hush
Then walked again to hear the sudden rush
OF swift flowing water, as We made our way
Straight to the east, and coming DER the sea
Saw the young morn, that with slow, sweet
delav
Began to draw her veil of mystery.

Discomfort.

Two boats rocked on the river.
In the shadow OF leaf and tree:
One was in love with the harbor;
One was in love with the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The wind of tate outbore.
But held the other, longing,
Forever against the shore
The one that tests on the river,
In the shadow OF leaf and tree,
With Wistful eyes look ever
To the one far out at sea.
The one that rides the billow,
Trough sailing fair and feet,
Looks back to the peaceful river,
To the harbor safe and sweet
Que frets against the quiet
OF the mOSS-grown shaded shore;
One signs that it may enter
That harbor nevermore.
One Wearies of the dangers
OF the tempest's rage and wall;
One dreams. amid the lilies,
OF far Of snowy sail.
OF all that life can teach us
There's naught so true as this:
The winds of fate blow ever,
But ever blow amisS.

There are three modes of bearing the
ills of life-by Indifference, which is
the most common; by philosophy, which
is the most ostentatious; and by religion,
which is the most effectual, for it can
teach us to bear them with resignation.

THE GREAT POLITICAL SECRETS.

Without wishing to usurp the functions OF
Congress, or even to advise that body, we
would like to say on behalf of people burst
ing with curiosity, that the one thing now
needed is the passage of an enabling act
that is, an act enabling people who are
crammed full of State secrets to tell all they
know, and have done with 1t. 1t is now more
than year since great number of prominent
politicians, and friends and acquaintance of
prominent politicians, and the friends and cor
respondents and oflice-boys and boot-backs of
the friends of prominent politicians, began
wandering up and down this country, wagging
their wise heads and holding on to their stom-
achs as though they had the collie, saying
that If they only were at liberty to tell

An AFFECT APOLOG Y.

The tendency of insurance journals toward
backmail has long been "a matter OF common
observation. The companies have in general
found it cheaper to buy off defamation by lib
eral advertisement in such journals than to
defy their wrath. Mr.. Hope, President of the
Continental (Fire) Insurance Company. con-
cluded to take different course, and sued the
proprietor of one of these journals for libel.
The result is a most complete retractiOn on
the part of the journal in question: of the libels
upon which Mr.. Hope brought suit. The re-
traction is so abject as to be almost pitiable
its author acknowledging the utter falsity of
all his charges against Mr.. Hope and the COM
pany, and declaring his regret for their publ
cation. We print in another column this
curiosity of literature
Mr.. Hope deserves credit for taking up the
cudgels Of the law against INSCRIPTIONS black
mail, and the company over which he pre-
sides will be the largest beneficiary by his
courage. But the insurance companies in gen.
eral, both fire and life, will share In the BEN
eft, and 1t is no small gain to the whole COM
munity when pestilent libeller stands self
convicted. Yet it is not obvious to most peO-
plo how such libels are productive of
damage. The insurance journals, like
other publications that are devoted to
specific branches Of business, have, with
very few exceptions, an exceedingly small
circulation. They exist by reason of their adj
vertising patronage, yet they are scarcely taken
at all except by insurance companies. At first
sight there would appear to be so little chance
for the circulation of any libel which such q
journal might contain, that it could do no in
Jury. But tho facts lie deeper. Rival COM
panies make use of the libel. When any
thing specially outrageous appears, the
rivals order large edition OF the
scurrilous sheet and circulate it among their
agents, who parade it before people that are
taking insurance. Suspicion is thus directed
against the company libelled, and there are no
practical means of counteracting it. To live
down SANDER is slow process. There are
periods in which the public is peculiarly sem
sitive to suspicion. In the case before us, the
worst libels complained of were uttered just
after the Chicago and Boston fires. The company
was meeting its losses with praseworthy prompt
ness, and liberal subscriptions from its stock
holders had placed it In a position of unques-
tonabe strength. But the libels ignored all
this, and threw doubt over the solvency of
the concern. small outlay in worthless adj
vertisng might have silenced the libeler.
That the easier course is usually taken by the
companies, is evinced by the circumstance that
SO many of such journals survive, and so few
are prosecuted.

terests of science or education. That prospec-
tus stamped it as q commercial venture; O
matter of dollars and cents to the projectors.
Since then there have been numerous
changes of programme. Stationery has issued
from the managers of the expedition In the
utmost profusion. Pamphlets in clean type
and neat gray covers were scattered all over
the land, and to anybody who might be sup
posed to take an interest In such matters al
least four or five copies were sent. Newspaper
Offices were besieged, and there seemed to be
no lack of information about the expedition
before the public. A curious feature was the
persstency with which it was announced that
the expedition would start at given times, ana
the delusion was kept up within few days OF
the appointed hour that the start would actu-
ally be made.
We present to-day All inside history OF this
speculation. It's promoters appear to have Deen
men of small means and no scientific preten-
sions. At no time have they owned or firmly
engaged a vessel for their expedition. Their
hope seems to have been that the subscrip-
tons would be paid fast enough to float the
enterprise. The curious feature about it Is the
number of prominent scientific men who gave
it partial support by writing letters of guarded
appreciation. The Academy of Sciences OF this
city committed itself by resolution in a similar
manner. 1t seems pity to expose the emptl-
ness of the project while men of such dignity
have given it a quasi-suppOrt. But the latest
move of the adventures who have the
scheme in charge. is Of a more serious
character. They have actually obtained the
passage of bill through one branch
of Congress by which the National honor
will be IN some measure committed 10
their project. Permission will be given by
the bill to enable these spectators to obtain
any old steamship in Europe, give to the yes
sci an American register, and sail it as tho
representative ship of an American exploring
expedition, conducted in the interests OF Amer
lean science Tho credit obtained by tho pas
sage of the bill through Congress, may enable
this project to be carried out-On credit. The
history of the projectors of the enterprise will
show the various and amusing shifts by which
they have hitherto endeavored to make credit
do duty for cash. IT. this undertaking they have
had to face cold and mstrustful world, but
their experience may now enable them to cir
cumvent it, if not to circumnavigate it.

STARTING TO GO AROUND TIE WORLD

About year ago we called attention to a
curiosity in literature, issued as circular by
the proprietors of the Woodruff Scientific Ex-
petition around the World. The ambrosial
style of that document, cleaning all over with
Summer light from the spicy isles of Ormus
aud of Ind, but Pickering with uncertain Eng
lish, did not indicate its origin as from man
of science. or its connection with any seat
of learning. The delights rather than
the labors of the voyage were urged
upon the readers attention. AS an ad-
ditional incentive. 1t was mentioned that
the walters engaged for the table service on
board ship would be selected for their musical
capacity. Something was to be done In the
interior of New Guinea in the way of explora-
tons, and few hints were thrown out as to
the scientific objects in view. But in spite of
two or three honorable names of University
professors appended to the first programme,
there was visible through every line of it far
greater anxiety TO obtain Subscribers at $4,000
apiece for the voyage, than to forward tue in

The restoration of the franking privilege
with respect to correspondence, which MIR.
Hamlin urged and the Senate voted for yes
terday, will not be so serious matter as 1t
may seem. The real restoration took place
when the last Congress voted to allow public
documents to go through the mails free. The
letters of congressman and of the President
and President will hardly load down the
mails, but the renewal of this privilege, should
the House concur, will put the whole business
Just where it was when the Philadelphia
Convention of 1872 demanded its abolition
as a preparation for a speedy reduction in the
rates of postage.

Captain Howgate's plan meets with favor in
almost all quarters, and there appears every
reason to hope that it will take shape in
Polar expedition from this country. As the
Senate Committee on Naval Affairs had al
ready reported favorably upon the bill for this
project, and the House Committee has agreed
to like report, the measure will come before
Congress with strong support and probability
of adoption.
