Already new schemes Of Arctic explor-
alton are being discussed. The dangers
and distresses that Captain De Long and
his gallant companions have passed
through seem to stimulate rather than TO
deter other adventures from testing the
horrors of the frozen zone. This evidence
Of audacity, pluck and perseverance, com
mands admiration; but this admiration
is not unmixed with wonder at the SEEM
ingly i~nexhaustible capabilities of human
folly. Commodore Cheync is entitled to
be heard with respect, but he says
what the world cannot credit when he
asserts that it is less dangerous to cruise
in the Arctic regions than on the Attain
tic Ocean. Experience has proved the
contrary. From Sir John Franklin to
Captain De Long navigators in high lati-
tudes have had about as bitter expert
cnce as the TOUCHES. old sea dog ever
dreamed Of. Had they all persisted no
wonder would have been expressed; and
it is with a sigh of relief we hear that
any of those rash spirits who thus take
their lives in their own hands have
escaped. Their safety is due rather to
luck than to precaution or management.
Take the case Of the ~Jeannette's crew.
From the end Of June until the middle
of September they drifted about the
Arctic Ocean in open boats, and when at
last they were picked up, by one chance
possibly in a million, they were more
dead thar alive. Yet the Jeanette was
better equipped for such a voyage than
any other vessel ever sent out; in fact, it
NAV be said that she was as perfect a
craft as combined science and art could
create to withstand the ravages and
shocks of the p~erilous ATTITUDES for which
she was framed. Caught in an ice pack
she was crushed like a shell and her
crew were forced to take their chances
of life in small boats. 1t might be sup
posed that the expectations of escape on
such a trip have been shown to be but a
shadow rather than the substance OF
hope. And the question arises, "What
is there possible for all this pain and
toil?" The discovery Of the mythical
North Pole or of "Semme's Hole" can
be of no possible benefit to mankind; mol
can the discovery of something new in
those regions under the sun result in
more than a transitory and feyerish graft
~fication to the student of speculative sci
ence. There will always remain fol
speculation things that are not known in
our philosophy. Men will go on in theil
eccentricities forever, forcing their fel
lows to admire and to pity. But it il
time that eccentrics were left to theil
W resources for the accomplishment o.
useless and impossible things. It is not
the wish of our people that Congress
should extend any further Governmental
aid or encouragement to this class of en-
thusiasts who effect nothing in their par
tial madness but to make themselves no.
torious objects of symathy.

New York Sun: Few speculations
have caused SO many p~reposterous'
rumors in so short O time as the late
boom in Confederate bonds and
promises to pay; and the rumors are
not wholly gone now that the furry
is over. One ofthe latest is that the
whole excitement was due to an eff
fort of the United States Govern
nent itself to buy up the securities;
and Treasurer GILFILLAN has had to
answer a Louisianian of Catahoula
Parish, assuring him that the Gov
eminent has not been dealing in
these valuables, and doesn't want
them. The basis of the rumor is
queer. It is that, in case of a new
ins~urrection of the South, all the
holders of Confederate notes and OBJ
legations might wish well to it, and
perhaps aid it, in hope of its recog
nizing the old debts; hence it would
be better to buy the securities cheap
and destroy them, in order to de-
crease this number OF possible well
wishers. There is obviously a film
of fine spun logic in this queer reas-
oning, but the hypothesis is even
more remote and roundabout than
which led Mrs. Toodles to her auc-
ton purchase of the door plate.

The Dublin correspondent of the

erals and both have thus far failed.
Two thirds ofthe rents are not being
paid and the tenants have no inten-
tions of paying them without heavy
reductions, which the landlords re
fuse.

KEIFER is the first man from Ohio
WHO has ever been elected Speaker,
and is most brilliantly unfit" for
the position. The St. Louis Post
Dispatch sizes him accurately, when
it says he parts "his hair and name
in the middle" He represents an
agricultural district of. Ohio. He is
a jolly kind of a good-natured wind
bag, without much ability of any
sort, but an unlimited appreciation
of himself. Witt out great intelli-
gence or any original intellect, he
naturally takes the narronest parti-
san views, and lie placed himself in
sympathy with the majority of small
fry local politicians, who constitute
the majority of the present House."
Keifer was also supported warmly
by the "star route" clique.

Major DANIEL, who was the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor of
Virginia, has the sympathy of good
men in his hour of defeat, and is dis
posed to put the responsibility for
the triumph of reputation where it
belongs. In a late letter the Major
says:
But great is the humiliation ofour
State, and great the humiliation of a
country that has a ward politician
for President, whose highest notion
of craftsmanship is to dicker with
reputation and use the powers of
Government to corrupt a State. The
chickens he has Matched out will go
home to roost, unless we are in a de-
cline of all that makes a republic.

The Republican party does not
now control in this country by ma
jority, but by coalition. In the Sen
ate it controls by a purchase of Davis
and Malone. In the House of Rep
resentatives it can only organize by
a coalition with one Of the few Green
hackers, Readjusters or Indepen-
dents in that body. In Virginia the
party surrendered to Malone and

If DANFoRD, the Kansas banker,
escapes the halter in Caldwell by
giving MP a part of his spoils, there
are other communities in that State,
also sufferers by his style of bank
ing, that are getting ready for him.
Public sentiment runs wholly with
the depositors and as it is shown
that in the last two years the bank
has made a.clear profit of $4,000,
all Of which DANFoRD has pocketed,
it is not surprising that the Kansas
men are angry. His treatment is
likely to be good lesson, to frontier
bankers at least.

Az Cure

Is a purely vegetable bitter and power
full tonic, and is warranted a speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chilis
and Fever, intermittent or Chill Fe-
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back
and loins, and coldnes of the spine and
e-xtremities, are only premonitions OF
severer symptoms, which terminate i'll the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profusc perspiration.
1t is a startling fact, that ~quinine, arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most of the Fever and Ague
Preparations" " Specifies" "Syrups," and
"Tonics," i'll the market. The prepara-
tons made. from these mineral poisons,
although they arc palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave the
malarial and their own drug poison IN
the system, producing qtinism, dizziness,
ringing III the ears, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they We're intended to cure.
| AYERS AGCE CURE thoroughly eradicates
these noXiouS poisous from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. 1t
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injlre the most delicate pa
tent; and its browning excellence, above
its certainty TO cure, is that it leaves the
system IS free from disease as before the
attack.

CURE, by direct action or the liver and

which produce these complaints, and stim-
ulatcs the system to q vigorous, healthy
condition.
