Thc Nntiye Esauimaux.

The Esquimaux generally are goodish
lot of poor devils far disposition Is concerned
their good nature apparently beginning with boy
hood. A short time since a canoe was alongside,
in which lay boby envcloped in firs, its tiny
hands protruding and holding piece of blubber
which 1t sucked with apparent relish. 1t was
quick to feel sefan object of attraction, and its
chubby face returned any number of smiles of
recognition, alternating with occasional blinks,
caused by the falling snow. Something of the ar
ttic instinct also crops ont in their disposition us
may be witnessed from rude carvings of ivory and
attempts at delineation. At st. Michaels an rs.
quimaux boy, who has never had any instruction,
draws extremely we'll. They have music peculiar
to themselves, and are devotedly fond Of dancing,
which Is done entirely by the.women, who, being
stripped to the waist for the OCCASION are more
decolete than our women at the germans" The
men are specators.-ArctiC letter.

What DO They Offer You?

In the pending contest in Virginia the
people of that State should carefully con-
slider what the Bourbons offer them as
inducements to intrust them with power
to rule them and shape the future des-
tinies of their State for'QA'course even
the Bourbons are not stupid enough to
expect the people to sustain them merely
because they ask them to. They must
hold out some inducements and profess
some principles in order to secure the
popular support. What changes do they
propose? What scheme have they de-
vised for bettering the condition of the
people or advancing the material prosper
ity of the State? These are questions that
every voter in Virginia should solemnly
ponder before casting their ballots. 1t is
plain to every close observer that point
| has been reached in the history of that
State which is to be turning-point in its
destiny, and voters should see to it that
the turn about to be made is in the right
direction. If one party demands their
support merely because it proposes TO
continue the old state of things, to make
no changes, to keep the State in the old
ruts, that party is clearly not the one
that the active, energetic, enterprisinG
men of Virginia should support. 10 con-
tinue on the present course is to
insure the continuance of the torpoi
which now shackles the State and its
people and prevents them from keeping
abreast with the more prosperous States
of the Union. And, as near as we can
understand the situation, thisis just what
the Bourbons propose to do. "As it was
in the days of the fathers" so they pro-
pose it shall be in the future, They offer
no scheme for awakening the moribund
energies of their people. They hold out
no invitation to immigrants to come in
and help them rejuvenate the old State
They hold out no inducements to capital
lists to help them develop the vast hords
of natural wealth laying unused beneath
their feet. They do not propose to cast be-
hind them the dead issues and meaning
less shibboleths ofthe past, and press on to
new conquests that will bring comfort and
contentment to many homes where they
are now unknown. Then why sustain
them? Why not cut loose forever from
them and join the mighty host that is in
motion all over this broad land, fighting
battles that will place it in the very fore
front of the great nations of the earth?

drew their bed across the door to bar the entrance
The creature came to the door, and, after snuflng
at the cracks, endcavored to push 1t open. The
boys crowded the bedstcad against the door with
all their might, but were in way to be overpow-

Sun Power. Echo states it is
not impossible that before our coal
fields are exhausted, we shall have dis
covered some means of doing many
things without that, at present, inyal-
liable fuel-at least, in regions where
the sun shines. We have previously
given an account of M. Mouchot's So
lar engine, but that extraordinary
method Of utilizing the heat of the
sun has been eclipsed by an improve
ment devised by M. Pifre. 1t is stated
that the latter has gone SO far as TO
utilize 500 of the available heat of the
suns rays at Paris, and has actually
constructed an apparatus with which
he pumped water to height of 10
feet at the rate of over 90 gallons a
minnie. As in Mouchot's solar engine
aiehector receives the light aud con-
cehtrates 1t upon boiler, in this case
containing nearly 80 gallons of water,
which, under clear Paris sky, begins
to boil In about 40 minutes, and in a
few minutes longer has sufficient pres
sure to drive the engine working the
pump. In the not distant future then
tropical countries will be the places
where motive power can be had for
next to nothing.-[Journal Of Applied
