Daniel Mcfarland.

Among the invalids who assemble
regularly every morning in the little
chapel at st. Vincent's hospital, to send
thanks on high for earthly blessings is
Daniel Mcfarland, who shot Albert d.
Richardson, in New York. He sits
doing in the large ward at the Sisters
hospital in this city, q pensioner upon
the county, and quite unknown and for
gotten. He was pointed out to re-
porter who picked his way in among the
cots to the one where the fallen IL an sat,
and said:
"Mr. Mcfarland"
Hi!-so-mep Whatp"
"This is Mr.. Daniel Nc McFarland, l be.
lie, eP"
"Oh, my name. Yes, yes. Daniel
Mcfarland. That is it"
"You once lived in New York, Mr..
Mcfarland"
Yes, sir, I recollect it. I did once
live in New York"

"Do you hear often from your wealthy

An Antarctic Exploring Expedition.

The Italians are the last people who
have become enthusiastic on the subject
of polar expeditions, their interest hav-
ing been awakened in all probability by
the visit at one or two of their ports of
the explorer, Nordenskjold, while on
his return trip in circumnavigating the
continents of Europe and Asia. The
Italians assert, with no little force. that
it is hopeless for them to think of COM
peting with the northern nations in Arc
tic explorations, as they are wanting in
the experience which their rivals have
acquired by a large number of unsuccess-
full voyages, but that there is a fresh and
and untried field open to them in the
vast and unexplored tracts OF land and
water around the South pole. 1t is
therefore an Antarctic voyage upon
which the expedition which is to sail
from Genoa in May, 1881, will enter. 1t
is a little singular that no more atten-
ton has been paid to explorations in
that quarter of the globe. We know
relatively nothing more about 1t now
than we did when Captain Cook made
his discoveries of mountainous coun-
try directly south of the continent OF
Africa in ITS. D'Urville, Wilkes and
Ross have confirmed the statements ol
their predecessor, and have given, with
some approach to exactness, the shore
line of the Antarctic continent, as it is
called, but there che information ends,
and whether the land is merely a large
island, or whether it extends its un-
broken barrier over the southern polar
regions, is matter which the Italians
have now an opportunity to demon
strnte. 1t should also be remembered
that there has never been an Antarctic
expedition since the utilization OF steam
power as q motor for large vessels, and
hence the Italians will be in many ways
better prepared to extend their re-
searches than were those in whose tracks
they follow.
No doubt, one of the reasons why
such slight interest has been taken in
Antartic voyages is the extreme diff
cul5y that has hitherto been expert
enced in gaining high southern lati-
tudes, The vessels from America that
go each summer to Archangel, on the
White sea, for Russian hemp and lax
90 nearly as far toward the North pole
as Sir James Ross or Lieutenant Wilkes
ever went toward the south in their sew
eral VOYAGES. 1t is well know that the
ice area around the South pole is mucf
greater in extent than that whi h sur
rounds the North pole, a fact that is &C
counted for by various hypothesis, tn
most probable of which is that tn
southern her. isphere is so largely mad
up of water areas that its average tenn
perature is considerably cooler than tn
northern half of the globe, where i'm
mense tracts of land radiate and perpet
uate the heat received from the sun
While it is highly improbable that tn
Italian expedition will succeed in reach
ing the South pole, it is fair to presum
that it will be able to solve number.

may also be of service to the comme,
cial world by demonstrating the exls

A Bit OF Sermon.
Wbatso'er you find to do,
Do it, boys, with all your might
Never be little true;
Or little in the right.
Trifies even
Lead to heaven,
Trifes make the lie OF man;
So in all things,
Great or small things,
Be as thorough as you can.
Let no speck their surface dim
Spotless truth and honor bright!
I'd not give a fig for him
Who says any lie is white!
He who falters,
Twists or alters
Little atoms when we speak,
May deceive me,
But believe me,
To himself he is sneak!
Help the weak il you are strong,
Love the old if you are young,
Own fault if you are wrong,
II you're angry, hold your tongue,
In each duty
Lies beauty,
II your eyes do not shut,
Just as surely
And securely
AS kernel in nut!
Love with all your heart and soul,
Love with eye and ear and touch;
That's the moral OF the whole.
You can never love too muchl
IT'S the glory
Of the story
In our babyhood begun;
Our hearts without it,
(Never doubt it),
Are the worlds without sun!
II you think word will please,
Say it, if it is but true,
Words may give delight with ease,
When no act is asked from you.
Words may often
Soothe and soften,
Gid Joy or heal pain;
They are treasures
Yielding pleasures
1t is wicked to retain!
Whatsoever you find to do,
Do it then with all your might;
Let your prayers be strong and true
Prayer, my lads, will keep you right.
Prayer in all things,
Great and small things,
Like Christian gentleman;
And forever,
Now or never,
Be as thorough as you can.
Good Words for the Young.

The United States consul at the Fiji
islands says that on the largest of the
group there are two splendid rivers, on
tue banks of which are more than fifteen
hundred acres planted with sugar
canes. The dried meat of the cocoanut
-copra-is the chief article of export.
1t is sent to England and Germany; and
there are more peanuts raised there
than can find market.
Crucifix, the winner of the Oaks for
Lord George Bentwick, did more in less
time than any horse that ever had an.
peared on the English turf up to his
time. He ran twelve times within as
many months without ever having been
beaten, and won ten thousand two hun
dred and eighty-seven pounds in public
stakes. The triumph of Crucihx were
all achieved between July 8, 1880 and
June 8, 1910, considerably less than
twelve months.

DuyIn. aSafe Thing.

A solid-looking old man with broad feet and thick fingers, yesterday en tered a jewelry store on the Bowery to buy some little memento of his visit to the big city. When he had unbuttoned his ovcrcoat and removed his mittens he said:
 Il guess I'll buy sunthin' for the old woman, She don't go much on gcw-gaws, but I partly promised to buy her a set Of jewelry. Let me see sunthin' fer abou, twenty dollars.
 The jeweler exh ibited several sets, and after pawing them over, theft ing" the weight and breathing on them, ile siIangcr said:
 Twenty dollars is m awful price Why, I've worked many month for less'n that. 1 don't believe thc old woman has got the right com plexion to match 'em Show me sun thin for fifteen"
 Several sets ct this price were passed out, and after long inspec- lion the farmer said:
 That's heap of money to lay cut in gew-gaws just as winter IS coming on. I don't believe l can go over ten dollars" "
 Ths third lot was passed out. He had almost made up his mind to make a certain set, when he suddenly remarked:
 Lands alive! But ten dollars is the price of two calves. and they wouldn't match the old woman's hair, eilher!"
 He was shown some sets at five, some at three, and finally some at 9 dollar The latter figure hit him hard and he Was feeling for his wallet, when he asked:
 Are they solid gold?"
 He was answered that he could not expect solid gold jewelry at that price, when he said:
 Well, 1 guess l won't buy any thing of the sort. Il would only be an indGccment for robbers to break in. and like enough old woman would become vain and lazy. don't knew much about buying such fixirgs, anyway, and l guess. seeing as they'll all expect me 10 bring sunthin,' and seeing that il might as well he some article that we can all enjoy together, I'll lock around for a oppIn@-knife.

Tn the last decade the population of Arizona has increased more than 403 per cent. No other state or ter ritory west of the Rocky mountains can show eqnal figures. It is only Tn the last few years of the decade that this increase of population has occurred, most of i:, in fact in the last two. If the increase goes on in the same ratio, the next Presidential election ought to find us enjoying all the rights and privileges of Ameri- can citizens In the near future, it is from the territories that the weight of the precious metals must come; |; and it is all important that they should assume the status of States, quickly, so that their voice and in- fuence may be felt in the National councils, and the important interests they are developing get the care and nurture they are entitled to.-Silyer .

 The latest thing III dancing is called racquet" and is neither a waltz nor polka, although the best parts of both are preserved. The music starts up win crash. as though a new volcano had broken out, and the girl will cling tightly as though frightened, if she under stands the dance, and the young man will reassure her by a gentle pressure if he understands the dance or knows anything at all. At the second crash they dodge as though some one had thrown a blacksmith shop at them, and they start in. They begin by initiating the struggle for life, repre- sen1ing person who is drowning, but at each crash of the cymba and bass-drum they dodge and scoot to one side, then dart back again. jam each other sideways, and then as the crashes of music become more ter rife and deafening, they try to drive each other through the floor by main strength, get desperate and claw and tear and pull, and all at once they go raving mad with hydra phobia and delerium tremens, and gnash thegr teeth and rave and suffer the most terrible agony all is over.
