A NEW POEM BY WHITTIER.

A drear and desolate shore.
Where no tree unfolds its leaves,
And never the spring wind weaves
Green grass for the hunters tread;
A land forsaken and dead,
Where the ghostly icebergs go
And come with the ebb and flow
Of the waters of Bradore.
A wanderer from land
By summer breezes famed.
Look around him, awed, subdued
By the dreadful solitude,
Hearing alone the cry
Of seabirds clinging by,
The crash and grind of the foe,
Wall of wind and wash of tide,
20, wretched land" he cried,
Land of all lands the worst,
God forsaken and curst,
Thy gates of rock should show
The words the Tuscan Seer
Read in the realm of woe.
"Hope entereth not here"
Lo! At his feet there stood
A block of smooth hardwood,
Beside a rook-closed cave.
By nature fashioned for grave.
Safe from the ravening beat,
The fierce fowl of the air,
Wherein to rest was laid
twenty summers maid,
Whose blood had equal share
Of the lands of vines and snow,
Half French, half Eskimo.
In letters, uneffaced,
Upon the block were traced
The grief and hope of man,
And thus the legend ran:
ave loUed--.
Words cannot tell hGae sceH
We loped her.
Godl her,
And called her home to pedco end rest,
We lOred her," lGi-
The stranger paused and read,
20. Winter Land" he said.
THY right to be own.
God leaves thee not alone,
And if the fierce winds blow
Over thy wastes Of rock and snow
And at thy iron gates
The ghostiy iceberg waits,
Thy homes and hearts are dear,
Gods love and mans are here"
Thy sorrow DER the sacred dust
Is sanctified by hope and trust.
"Still. wheresoe'er it goes,
Love makes its atmosphere;
Its flowers of Paradise
Take root in the eternal ice.
And bloom through polar SHOWS"

The Origin of Diphtheria.

The following case strongly supports
the theory that the spores of certain
fungi are the exciting cause of diphthe-
ria: Three children, occupying the same
bedroom, were all seized with diphthe-
ria last August, in district then free
from the disease. The house was very
healthy until the water spoutings got
out of order. A great rainfall in July
caused one wall of the bed room to be-
come saturated, and the paper on the
wall facing passage, between the apart
ment and second bed room, became
sodden and separated from the plaster,
and small clusters of toadstool grew
on the wall, as well as a fine thready
blush mould. The drainage of the
house and its drinking supply were very
good Excepting this spot the house
was dry; and it is remarkable that the
children slept several weeks in theil
warm cribs in the damp room, withnu
suffering in any way, and it was not un
til the fungi appeared that they were at
tackled with true diph'heria. This woult
seem to indicate that perfectly dry sur
roundings prevent the origin of the dis
ease. though they do not prevent conta
gion.

HistoricaIO Oa.hs.


 Interesting historical oaths might be quot ed dd fRTiHttHm. Their earliest judicial ap- plication is mentioned in the twenty second chapter of Exodus, where they are ordered to be administered with view to the just restoration of lost property. And, in sacred history, we hear of swearing by idols, by the heavens and earth as material structures by the sun, moon and stars by the temple and its altars and other paraphernaliA; by the eyes, and by the soul both of the juror and of the one to whom the adjuration was ad- dressed. In ancient mythology we learn, according to Hesiod. that Jupiter sxore by the Stygian lake. and ordained those waters as an oath for all the gods. If any god fore swore himself. he vas debarred nectar and degraded from his divinity for 8 hundred years. Oreus, the patron Of oaths, was the son of Eris, or strife; ard the same poet declares that deceit and oaths originated to- gether, for in the Golden Age no artificial confirmation was required. Among the Greeks the Athenians invoked the mighty Twelve, the Spartans Castor and PoIlux. Their wives swore by Juno, Diana, Venus, bade his followers to swear by aught save g dog, goose, and plane tree; while Pytha- goras made the number the only standard on which his disciples migh. stake their veracity. Demosthenes swore by the dead at Marathon the Kings by their sceptres, and the RhOciaDS, when sney Ou1lt M6SS3fiA in Narbonnese Gaul bound themselves so solemnly never to return to Phocis, that their name became proverb for a stern VOW" In all times men have sworn by their patron saints or deities, and by those under whose protection their trade, handicraft, accidental occupation, or nationality was supposed to lie. But in olden days curses were very nearly akin to oaths, and. indeed, constitute the major part of those invoeations of the supernatural powers which have been Jeff on historical record The attempt of Balak to curse the Israelites by means of Balaanl is an instance of this. In the "EleetrA" of Sophocles, the Ninth IIiad' of Homer, and the .'Orestes" of Euripides we find families, and even hostile cities, cursed in the most elaborate manner; and the AtheniRns evil dently were imbued with an idea of the re- igious weight which might attach to an sm- precation when they ordered Alcibiades to be publicly cursed by all the priests and priest esses. One of the latter, Theano, it will be remembered, refused to comply with this behest, on the ground that her office fitted her to bless, not to condemn. Finally, the Roman Catholic pontifs cursed pretty Hbsr- ally for some centuries with 'sbsn. book and candle"

His brother living in Hadfeld, England, was anxious to know the contents of the will, and wrote to President Arthur asking him to mail copy of it and enclosing 24d. for ex- penses The President sent the request to Governor Long of Massachusetts and the Governor forwarded it to the register of probate.

 Some Philadelphia capitalists interested in street railroads have been to Chicago to e1- anime the workings of the wire cable method of propulsion for street cars, and they say that the superiority of the wire cable over that of any other motor is so great that there is no comparison for it. The directors of the Union railroad in Philadelphia have de- cided to adopt the invention on their road as soon ss the preparations can be made. Horses will be abolished, and better time can be made, while the crowding of the streets will be considerably reduced. The cables ha ad tO ryiv Of from four to six miles an hour in the crowd ed portions of the city and ten miles an hour or even greater speed in the suburbs. In Chicago two or three cars are run together when necessary, and an experimental trip was witnessed in which train carrying 700 per sons was passed rapidly over the road. The cost is considerable, but in the long run is less than the cost of horses.
 The Albany LGoo Journal says concerning Mir. Conkling "He has had no judicial ex- perieuce and no judicial habit of thought. He has been a partisan of the most partisan de- scription. And yet we doubt not that he would make success as judge, or in any other occupation to which he should serious ly bend his great intellect. But he would have to lay down the offensive intellectual weapons with which he has so sturdily and brilliantly fought, to the admiration even of his bitterest enemies, and take up the gown of the recluse and assume dispassionateness foreign to his nature. Such men have sue ceeded as judges-Chase and Church are prominent examples And in our own State some of our best judges have grown out of active and passionate partisans William F. Allen, Grover, and Peekham, for example. Therefore although the nomination cannot be pronounced an ideal one, yet it is difficult to see why Senators Hoar and Ingalls,, both light weights in comparison with Senator Conkling, should oppose it so strenuously on the ground of unitness. Although he gives up to party what was meant for mankind, yet it must be conceded that he is singular ly pure, independent and incorruptible man

EDITORIAL NOTES.

All the property in St. Louis, real and per sonal, is valued at $193, GOO, 900.
Morning journal and courier., 1882-03-06

A Paris correspondent thus relates the ex- perience of one gentleman who was carried away by the Union Generale speculation: This gentlsman was leading a quiet, easy, lazy life, with his paternal fortune of about 600, 900 francs placed in five per cent. stocks. The Union was founded he saw in the board of directors some of the best names of France names which had hitherto been spotless. He took 5000 shares, on which he paid one fourth, which was called. This absorbed 575, ,O0O francs-that is to say, his whole for tune. The shares rose, rose, first gradually, then feverishly, under the excitement of a wild speculation. The "Jews" sold the Union bought it's own shares; the shares rose to 5000 francs. My gentleman was then able to realize IL, 1000, GOO of francs. All his friends urged him to do so. No; the shares would rise higher; he had faith in the enterprise and its leaders. They rose to 8, 500 francs, when suddenly the panic came the Union had bought so many of its own shares that all its resources were gone. It's enemies were advised of it {; they sold and sold, and literally threw out of the window shares which the Union could no longer buy. In a single day the shares fell by the thou sand francs. The unfortunate millionaire saw his millions dwindle under him, and in the course of a week he was ruined. He never sold tke crisis was so sudden that he had no time for reflection, and his stupid faith only vanished when everything had van ished. And what is his position now? The syndics of the failure will be obliged to real ize the assets, and to make a call for the three-fourths of the shares still unpaid and still subject to cali. They will demand from him alone the sum of ?, 175, 900 francs, which he is absolutely incapable of paying. What will he do? Blow out his brains, like the nineteen men who have already done so since the crisis A paper keeps the table of nor tality of the Union; he would make the twen- tieth.
