Arctic travellers are all united in one
opinion, says an Eglish writer, that birds
have told us of regions beyond the frozen
seas of the north, where from some cause
or other the climate is milder, and the
ocean or soil more generous. This has
been held by navigators, and each sue
ceeding explorer has confirmed the Won
derful story. When Kane in his small
brig penetrated, under unusually iavora-
bile circumstances, to the eightieth degree
OF latitude he despatched Mr. Merton
with the sledges to reconnoitre, and that
able man found, after many battles with
the ice, that at the eighty second degree
tho icebergs and iccilows over which he
had been travelling became weaker, the
surface rotten, and the snowlrifts
softer, until the dogs, terror stricken, re
fused to advance, and with much trouble
and danger they made their escape to the
coast Mr. Merton then reflected that n
great black line he had seen was open wa
ter far away t0 the north and the unwont-
ed appearance of wild fowl which had
been strangers along the dreary lee packs

Two motives COnsplre To make the lSe-
publcans stick. One is the fear that the
country will Ia ugh at them if they back down
now, combined with hope that the Demo
Gratis will finally retreat, as they have almost
always done when it was mere question OF
endurance. The other is the bearing of the
contest upon the coming campaign in Nir-
ginia Many Republicans feel that it will be
taken as Il t.eserton of Malone and the iiber-
al element in the Old Dominion which he is
supposed to represent, if they give over the at
tempt to make Riddleberger sergeant-at-arms
They feel as though they could not afford to
refuse their support to Il man who comes
out for "a free ballot and fair count, AMI
who is certainly against Bourbon meth
ods. They see that Bourhonism cannot be
broken down in the South unless
the Republicans will support former
Democrats who come ont against
it, and vet they shrink from supporting repu-
diation, even ms a means of breaking down
Bourbonism. When they consult the Re
publicans of Virginia, they find them no less
divided in opinion. The rank AMI file,
especially of the negroes, who form the
great bulk of the party, are heartily fer sup
porting Malone, who has given them a
show" for the first time. But many of the
leaders oppose fusion with the readjusters
Some of them do it from interested motives,
because they can more easily retain the Of
fees they now hold if the party is kept con-
veniently small. Others oppose Malone be
cause of his attitude on the debt question.

When. from the orchard row, he pours
