Explorations in New Gninea

Melbourne Cor Glasgow Herald
was notified III former letters that
both the Argus and F., &c, newspapers of
Melbourne, had sent special cores
popdent to New Guinea. The Brisbane
Courier has also dispatched a special
thither, and thus we may soon have
| much interesting tidiDgs of that island.
indeed, Capt Armit has already sent to
the Argus the first of his dispatches,
and these have been published. There
is not much therein that is fresh, as the
explorer bad lot penetrated much over
| twenty miles from the coast. The Motu
| tribe, at Port Moresby, Capt. Armit de.
| scribes as "infernal scOuDdrels,' and
| they may, being coast natives. have been
| contaminated by thcr much intercourse
| with the prowliug villains belonging to
Britain and other coUr tries that fre
quept the shores of ali these islands
He describes the Motus as thieves from
their cradle. He writes very differently
Of the villagers Of Robertoom. VINO are
"'part of the COijaTi tribe, and "are
inland natives" He says, though
They have no religion, yet ones prop
erty is safe among them. If you drop
anything and they find it you viii have
1t returned to yCu Immediately. They
are far more moral than Europeans. Anv
breach Of the marriage law is punished
with death. But from what | gathered
from Lula, the chief, such breaches are
hardly ever known to occur. The men
and women Of this COijari tribe are very
superior in physique TO the Motu.
Capt Armit SAYS that, while the women
Of the tribe named have to carry heavy
burdens, they seem happy and con
tented, having their own nights and their
own property, and are kindly treated by
their husbands, and he adds that because
these Papuans have always been por-
trayed as such utter s6vages, / consider
it my duty to let Australian aud E0glish
people know, without eXaggeration, the
kind of people they have chosen as fell
low subjects" He describes the women
as "chaste, womanlv, and pleasant,
He states that RobertOOm is eighteen
miles from Port Moresby, and consists
of eighteen houses built several feet off
the ground, and seven tree houses, called
'dobo, some sixty or seventy feet IN the
air, built among the bOughs Cf lofty
scrub trees" These tree houses are
built for places of refuge when the vii
layers are attacked by any hostile
tribes. On such occasions the dobos
are victualled and supplied with large
quantity Of stones, which are used as
missiles to hurl from alott upon the at
tacking foes at the foot Of the trees.
Capt. Armit describes the country as
very fertile, and the vegetation is ex-
ceedingly rich. Salt Is greatly priced
by those inland people, just as it Is by
the natives OF the interior OF Africa.

4 StorY About Whistler.

was Whistler, Just as wet as he. This

home with ne and have some beer and
a cracker" SO off they went to WhIs-
tiers house, IN the suburbs somewhere,
through the rain and darkness. Once
there the house was as black as the
night. Whistler rang the bell, but there
was no reply, He rang again aud still
harder, but apparently be might as we'll
have tried to wake the dead. There
wasn't sign Of life IL the huue. Well,
for nearly nalf an hour those two men
stood at the door and tried in vain to get
into the house, Whistler, | am afraid,
swearing at the stupidity OF his servants,
while the vision OF a quiet chat over the
beer and crackers gradually began to
fade from my friends mind.
Finally, however, the door opened a
few inches and the two men were soon

Well. We are very sorry for it, too Here in New

the outlook for Governor Pattis0n's making name
for himself as genuine reform Governor is dreary
enough. Mr.. PattisOnis youth is not against him.

BLESSING ~ DIsGUIsE.-0ne Of the best
things for the Republican party and for the
country, Was the Democratic tidal wave that
swept over the land, last Fall. 1t came in an
off year, when but little was at stake. Ii will
teach the Republican party a wholesome lesson
to quit their fonlIshnesss and will afford the
Democracy full scope to perpetrate blunders
that will awaken the country to its danger in
time to rally for Republican victory in 1854.
Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, who came in
with drums and trumpets loudly changing for
reform, has, as his very first act, appointed the
attorney OF the greatest monopoly in America
the Standard Oil Company, Attorney General Of
Pennsylvania. Gov. Cleveland, of New York.
is proving equally disappointing to the friends
of reform. Ii devoives upon Click to hold a
level head. He may save his reputation. but
he cannot save the party in the next Presiden.
tial election.

THE OLD HOME.

Once more see the dear old home,
Where ehildhoods days were passed;
Many weary year has hCwn,
Since bebeld 1t last.
The village streets seem narrow new.
The parements old and worn;
They've felt the tramp of many feet
And many burdens borne.
Ny eye seeks each familiar spot;
There seems but little change;
But then. the people that meet,
The most Of them are strange.
So many friends have passed away.
Those left are not the same;
They've changed 50 much, hardly dare
Their friendship now to claim
The old homestead loved well
Belongs to strangers now;
turn away with heavy heart
And sadly aching brow.
The grapevine swing has disappeared
The mossy spring is dry:
The grand old woods are even gone.

The dear old hills stiI rear their heads.
To meet the bright blue sky;
The crystal river flows along
Just as in days gone by.

The first in many years;
l hold them in my trembling hands
And wash them with my tears
The schoolhouse where learned TO spell
Is going to decay;
The teacher sleeping in his grave.
His scholars far away.
And in the graveyard on the hill.
Where many Did friends lie,
wander with an aching heart.
But could not pass il by.

Graved on the cold white stones;
The mouldering forms that lie beneath.
Heed not my heart deep r1oans-
And while linser, 10th to leave,
hear the same bells chime, -
That greeted me, on Sabbath days.
In LIES sweet morning, time.
Many who worshipped with me then.
Dwell in 4 farer cline,
And few arc left to love me now
In lifes sad evening time.
But while grieve. the comfort eornrS.
They've only gone before;

Where PARTING is no more.

4 MERIToRIOUs MEAsURE.-While schemes
are thick in the Legislature for scooping money
out of the Treasury, and creating useless and
expensive Offices there are many meritorious
measures afloat. One of these, recommended
by Gov. Click in his Message, seems likely to
he put into practical shape. II is the establish
ment of State Asylum for the incurable insane.
ii is badly needed, and shonld be established
without delay. The Insane Asylums now es-
tablished are for the purpose Of treating the iu-
sane, with view to their cure, and those pro-
nounced iDcurable are not admitted. These u n
fortunate persons must either be kept confined
at home, qnartered in the County poor house,
lodged in Jail, with criminals. be sent to pri-
vate asylums, at a heavy expense to the family.
Families having such cases are nearly always
poor. The result is, that the insane person
usually suffers from great neglect and cruelty,
and the family or the County is put to much ex-
pense aud untold trouble. The State could well
afford 10 maintain such an institution. II
would he benefit, directly or indirectly, to
every citizen, whether he had az insane rela-
tive or not. State institution, devoted ex-
ciusiveiy tn the use of these uDfortunates, an
der the charge of competent and experienced
persons, would be one Of the most deserving of
our public institutions
