One of the American Arctic colonies has re-
ported progress The expedition to Point
Barrow last year attracted comparatively little
attention, as this headland is a favOrite rendez-
yous for whalers and is visited many times
every summer. The corps Of observers have
passed a busy twelvemOnth, doing the work
which was assigned to them, and remaining ~
excellent health. The wreck of a steam whaler
gave them an opportunity OF rescuing, feeding
and shelterng the crew. Another year of
scientific observations has opened, and the
colonists will not be prepared to abandon their
station until the close of September, 1888
Tidings from the colony at Lady Franklin Bay
will be awaited with more anxiety, as the post
occupied is many hundred miles further north.
The nluch-vexed question of the appointment
of the Democratic election inspectors will be
ND again in a few days. Police Commissioner
Nichols. of course, insists that they should all
be Tammany men of the straightest sect, while
Mr.. Matthews is equally positive that they
should come from the ranks of the only local
organization recognized by the Democratic
State Convention. After the votes at the last
election he must be the most uniinchlng OF
Comfy Democrats who makes this latter claim.
1t is clear enough that the reports recently cir
culated that Mr. Matthews had bowed the knee
TO the Tammany Baal did him gross injustice
But whatever vain things either Mr.. Nichols or
Mr.. Matthews may imagine, the Republican
Commissioners are not likely to exalt one fac
ton unduly at the expense of the other. The
more nearly they balance, the better for the
Republican party i'll the city.

ODD LICENSE LAWS.

The liquor laws in Norway are some
what restrictive, and sometimes give
trouble to travellers who are not pre-
pared for them. The license to sell
wine and beer is distinct from the
license to sell spirits. All the hotels
have the former, but very few of them
have the latter, even i'll the largest
towns. The consequence is that the
traveller has no difficulty in procur-
ing beer or wine at any time, but if
he should ask for cognac, he must
wait till it is procured for him from
a house or shop which has the spirit
license No spirit is sold anywhere,
not even in the licensed houses. be-
tween 5 o'clock on Saturday night
and 8 o'clock on Monday morning.
This system leads to great deal of
lodging and trickery. Knowing the
difficulty of procuring spirits at no.
tells, the traveller supplies himself at
the larger towns, and carries brandy
OR whisky with him in his valise.
Should he. unfortunately, run short,
he will have little difficulty in get
ting bottle of cognac or of Irish
whisky from the landlord, and will
find it entered in his bill as "old
sherry" The London Times thus
comments upon this system: This
is how over strict laws defeat their
object. They do not prevent drink
ing. and in the case of Norway they
have not put down drunkenness, while
they tempt honest men to risk their
credit in devices which can hardly
fail to have demoralizing effect"

A CHAMPION SLUGGAR.

About the most prominent man III
puSilistic circles in this country at
the present time is Arthur Chambers.
the recognized lightweight champion
OF America. and who. before ne came
to the Unit ri States, was light weight
champion of England. Mr.. Cham

fought battles in England and Amer
lea, and his opponents have all been
prominent pugilistic lights. He is
now proprietor of the Champion :
Rest, Philadelphia, which establi ,h
ment is Il rendezvous for all the lead

try. Chambers was born in SalforI,
near Manchester. England, On De

Chambers last and greatest fight
was with the renowned John IL Clark

comes much too often To be welcome;
it breaks the thread of the letter You
are writing. and ScattcrS the seed of
the flower You are planting. Then
there is the unavoidable kind: it is
continually coming with invit itions
to dine, or to tea, or to drive; it is
angry if You do not accept them,

not very shortly return them
