occurred in the Geological Garden in

THE IRISH FAMINE.

The following is telegraphcd from
London:
&c The Duchess of Marlborough writes
to the Lord Mayor that there is no ex-
aggeration in saying that millions have
been lost in the West of Ireland by the
utter failure of the potato crop. But
for benevolence numbers must endure
the greatest misery. Nor does the
Duchess think that the fearful loss is
entirely due to the elements. 1t is also
due to the deterioration of the potato
plant from the fact that for years the
best potatoes have been eaten and the
worst sown. The supply of potato seed
for the next year must be an anxious
thought to all, SO that narrowing
recurrence of the distress may be pre-
vented. The Duchess has found timed
beef and Liebig's extract of meat most
valuable where sickness prevails. Blan-
kets, clothing, and cast-of clothing for
children are much desired.

King Cetewayo has dictated the his
tory of the Zulu nation and the Zulu
war to Capt Poole, of tho English army
and it has been published in Macmil-
lan's Magazine. 1t appears that the
King when debating the story, occa-
siOnally divested himself of nearly all
his clothing to give his ideas fair play,
which would tend to show that the
cccentricities of genius arc not confined
to civilization. 50 long as no was
narrating questions Of foreign policy or
domestic finance he remained calm,
but when he came to the story of Il
battle he worked himself into frenzy,
and on one occasion seized Capt. Poolc's
sword and hacked the furniture of the
room, in illustrating tho incidents of
the fight. 1t is needless to say that
after that time all weapons were care
fully removed.

The paper makers say that they are
making no money at the present high
price of paper. They claim that the
price of rags, soda ash and other arti-
cles have advanced to so high figures
that they have been compelled to ad-
vance prices of white paper to the pres
ent high rates. There Is good owl
dence to believe, however, that the
present exorbitant rates arc not
warranted by any rise in the prices OF
that raw material. 1t has been shown
that while American print paper was
sold in the United States at nine cents
per pound, Canada print, of grade
worth two cents per pound more, was
sold on the other side at seven cents per
pound. The fact is the uncalled- for
advance in the price of white paper is
entirely due to combination of paper
manufacturers, and some short, sharp
legislation is required of Congress to
put stop to this organized robbery of
the public by paper manufacturer.

A NEW ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

+ Commander John r. Cheyne, Royal
Navy, responded on Saturday to an
Invitation from the members of the
Wich, to explain his scheme for the
exploration and discovery Of the North
Pole, by means of a steamer, sledges
and balloons. He stated that Lord
Derby and six members of Parliament
had Joined the Central Committee.
The plan sketched is as follows: If the
estimated cost, viz, ESQ, 900, Is forth
coming, the expedition will start in
June. Her Majesty's Government will
be asked to lend their store-ship Dis
covery for the purpose. 1t Is also In
contemplation that shooting party In
connection with Cooks tours will &C.
company the steamer to some of the
Arctic bays, where there is some
splendid shooting-wild ducks flying
about there in fiocks of GO at a time,
four or five hocks often passing every
minute. Commander Cheyne purposes
latitude as possible. Tho sletlges will
start about March 80, 1881. When the
siedges are baffied by obstacles, re.
course wall be had to balloons. These
are expected to start about June next
year, at which time the sun will be
shining in the Arctic regions s.day and
night" The balloons will be inflated
at starting by passing steam through
iron filings, and will be aflerward man.
ipulated by means of a supply of pure
condensed hydrogen. Three balloons
will be employted, each having a
lifting power of one ton to one and a
half tons. The balloon party will con-
sist of seven persons with water and
provisions for 81 days, but it is ex-
pected that they will reach the North
Pole in from 80 to 40 hours after Ieav-
ing the sledges. The exploring party
will remain at the North Pole about
week for scientific observation, and
will despatch a balloon to Russia for
the purpose of telegraphing the news
to England. The intelligence, it is
thought, can be conveyed from the
North Pole, via st. Petersburg, to
London, within three days. Tho Arc
tic regions will be photographed from
tn balloon every hour, the distance to
be traversed by the balloon being esli-
mated at 500 miles. ..,,::t
