and keeps his nose to the ground like .

residents of the island, tho flea is very
brisk and enterprising, which is the
cause Of the present tidal wave Of

holds his old theory of an open
polar sea and believes q steam
vessel can make the passage,
north of Grant Land. to Behring
Strait. Shonld these opinions prove
erroneous there will remain the sledge
journey, and there is reason to believe
that a most important discovery awaits
these northward expeditions. When
Markham turned back in latitude 50
deg. 20 min., as he supposed in the
midst of the great Arctic Sea, his
soundings showed only 20 fathoms, and
this fact, together with the tremendous
character Of the ice met with, is held to
be'strong indication of the nearness of
land. Captain Kennedy, of Lady
Frankl;n's private searching expedi-
ton, holds that the sledge parties will
find . glacier-covered land to travel
over. The discovery of this land will
be of the highest Importance, for
should it offer coast line extending
northward reaching to or near the pole,
q base for supply depots will be pre-
sented, which makes the reaching Of
the pole almost q certainty.--Sprisg-

Agriculture and the Census.

Farmers should get ready for the
census which will be taken complete in
the month of June. They are required
to give full statement of all the crops
raised during the preceding twelve
months ending on the first day of June.
By making up the figures in advance
they will save much time and trouble
both for themselves and We enumera-

For the further information of the
farmer and also of the enumerator, we
give the following schedules which each
is required to have prepared when the

Polar Exploration-The Howgate Col.
OnizatiOn Scheme,

The very. high latitude reached by
Hall and the comparative ease of his
progress seeming to demonstrate that
Smith Sound was the true highway to
the pole, the English sent out in 1875 a
superbly equipped expedition. Every
precaution was taken which experience
could suggest, officers and crew were
selected with the greatest care, and
strong hopes were raised in England
that the two powerful steam-vessels,
Alert and Discovery, which sailed un-
der command of Captain Mares, in May,
1875, would finish Halls work, and
reach the pole. The Discovery was
put into winter quarters in Lady
Franklin Bay, latitude 81 deg. A min. !,
and the Alert forced north beyond Cape
Union and Halls farthest, to latitude
50 deg. 81 min, ON the shores Of Grant
Land, the most northerly winter station
of civilized men. Sledge parties traced
the shores IF Craft Land and Green
land, and Markham struck northward
over the frozen sea, and after almost
incredible exertion over ice of the
toughest description, for the first time
passing Parry's limit, reached May II,
1876, latitude 50 deg. 20 min, the most
northerly point ever attained by man.
His party, worn out and discouraged,
turned back, when as some would have
it they were reaching open water. The
severity of the climate, the difficulty
Of. exploration and the appearance Of
scurvy induced Mares to return to En-
gland without attempting to push far
Their north. - as4-F
Thus the way has been fought up
Smith Sound from latitude 20 deg. to
latitude 83 deg, and now Captain How
gate, Of the United States Signal Serv-
ice, proposes to substitute for the spas
modic attempts of different expeditions
at long intervals, q systematic effort of
several years duration to reach the
pole. Where the English in 1875 found
impenetrahle ice, the Polaris crew in
1871 reported open water lanes reach
ing very far north. and it is evident
that the Arctic seasons and the condi-
ton of the Ice vary greatly from year to
year: The failure ofpast expeditions to
reach the pole is party attributed,
therefore, by Captain Howgate, to the
fact that sailing in ignorance of the
state Of the ice, and remaining at the
northern station but . short time, they
had been unable to seize the favorable
time for northern progress. He pro-
poses, then. to maintain . colony OF
hardy, resolute men ON the shores Of
the Arctic Sea for term Of years, who,
being on the ground. win be able to
take advantage Of favoring circum-
stances and press northward under bet

A Relic Of the Past.

One common feature of the Ohio
banks is the old log house built by the
settler of two or three generations
since. Often it stands by the more
modern and comfortable DIV cling. used
as wood house, store house, pig stye or
granary. 1t is slowly decaying, along
with the bones of its builder, on the
hill side. Within it the first generation
from New England or Pennsylvania
starved and toiled and died worn out
men and women. The man fought with
his ak for clearing on which to grow
his grain. The wife wove and spun the
the family clothing, cooked, washed
and MIXED the cows, and did all the
homework. There was barely an hour
apart from sleep for waking rest from
Monday morn till Saturday night. No
luxuries and few comforts. A broken
saw or hammer cost q days Journey,
perhaps more. Sickness might involve
a days journey for doctor # any at all
was within reach. 1t was for both man
and woman a hard, unceasing, unre-
lenting struggle with nature. There is
. dark side to all this frontier life, espe-
cially for the woman, of which little is
said. We surround it with a glamour
made up of set of terms involv-
ing Indians, game, 'sroughing it,
and "hardy pioneers" and leave
out the absolute slavery, the cherries
lives and the men and women prema-
turely worn out by toll and deprivation
of accustomed comforts within those
square log boxes. Have you ever lived
in and about these log cabins of the

waiting for their shaking day." or the
little frontier congregations at church,
every man of them q gaunt and sallow
mass of skin and bonesP But fever and
ague seldom kill. they say. No. It
shakes, and shivers, and emaciates un-
til, aided by the drudgery necessary to
push along on the frontier, it reduces
vitality to its lowest ebb, and then con-
sumption, lung fever or some other fe-
yer comes along and gives the coup de
grace. It's not the ague at all. But
these days are now all over, the old
folks are dead and buried, the farm is a
valuable piece Of property, railroads
and steamboats, bring all the luxuries Of
life to the door, and with wealth comes
leisure and refinement and better cared
for bodies. A large proportion of the
''hardy pioneer Of forty years ago may
be accounted for on the principle Of
