TALKERS.

The art of conversing is not cultivated
as much in these days as it was by our
fathers. Men who can talk well also
write we'll, and, as their writings have a
pecuniary value, they reserve their good
things for the public who pays for them

fact which indirectly Suggests what a
good talker should be. He says:
"In my whole life I have only known
ten or twelve persons with whom it was
pleasant to speak,. e., who keep to the
subject, do not repeat themselves and
do not talk of themselves men who do
not listen to their own voices who are
cultivated enough not to lose themselves
in commonplaces; and. lastly, who pos
sess tact and good taste enough not to
elevate their own persons above their
subjects. Youths Companion.

THE DLRIIEsT cITY IN THE WORLD

Naples is the largest city in Italy
nearly twice as large as any other-with-
in $4,000 of Chicago: and this dense
multitude live and move and have their
beng in huddling hives, from which
they swarm like bees. This is believed
to be their only resemblance to bees.
They are as lazy as they are dirty. A
Neapolitan's idea of heaven is to sit on a
drivers seat and crack the whip over the
head of gothic horse. He seldom
strikes the horse, but cracking the whip
Is special accomplishment of Naples,
as mosaics are of Florence. In only two
things have L ever seen Neapolitan dis
play any gor-cracking his whip and
scratching his back.
Dirty the Neapolitan is the dirtiest
living creature. Nine-tenths of the peo-
pie on the street look as if they had
worn their clothes for years, and ex-
pected to wear them without washing
till they drop of. They are generally
OF some hempen stuff, or tow-cloth,
once white. One garment seems to be
considered enough, and two a super
fluffy.
Many of the workmen are constantly
seen going about their shops and even
the streets with nothing on but pair of
trousers, and saw one stop in a crowded
street and deliberately take off his trous-
ers to look for q flea. Boys from s to
u, entirely naked, may be seen walking
leisurely through the principal streets
for blocks to the bath-house. [ never
saw so many children without scrap of
clothing on them in my life as within
the past week; and it is real shock to
the moral sense of the members of

IN ARCTIC TRAGEDY.

With Horn sound begins the interest
in Spitzbergen, as the place was the
scene OF as cruel tragedy as was ever
enacted. The story has in it all the dra-
matte elements of thrilling novel of
the old school, and finds fitting de-
nouement in the mines of Siberia. On
one of the innermost islands of Horn
sound, few years ago, were found a
heap of nine skulls, said to be those of
Russian crew murdered by party of
English whalers. These murderers were
never discovered, but another and still
more remarkable discovery was made in
the year 1853 by Norwegian sea Cap
tain, near this place, and it is of this
that intend to tell. It is the common
est occurrence for ships that venture up
here to lose one or more men trip, and
SO when the other members of the small
crews-say five or six men-return
home and report that they have lost
comrades, no particular attention is paid
to the news beyond the little circle wild
owed by the lost men.
1t happened somewhere about 1S49
that the crew of Russian whaler made
their way back to Archangeland reported
that they had lost their Captain and two
men on Spitzbergen through an acci-
dent, details of which were given. The
Captain and his men were mourned, and
in a little while the affair was forgotten.
In 1853, however, the Norwegian Cap
tain i'll question, while out hunting for
reindeer, found three human skeletons.
and beside them a gun from which the
stock was rotting. On the barrel of the
gun were scratched number of inscrip-
tons in Russian, which the Norwegian
was unable to make out. He brought
the gun home with him, and sent it to
Archangel, where it was found to con-
tain the history of the Captain and the
two men, previously reported as having
been killed by accident. The inscrip
ton told how the owner of the gun and
his two men had been basely deserted
by the others of the crew, for whom they
we're out procuring food, and left to die
of exposure. Those of the crew then
alive were arrested and sentenced for
life to work in the mines of Siberia.
The poor Captain and his men must
have suffered terribly, for, from the
dates on the guA-the last of which was
March Sit was learned that they had
survived a greater part of the winter.

PAUPER EMIGRATION.

The Emigration Commission Take Action N
to Prevent the Inflow of Assisted Emil
grants from Great Britain.
New YORK, June 25.-The emigration
commissioners held a special meeting to
consider measures to prevent pauper i'm
migration from Great Britain. This &C.
tion was called for in view of the large ar
rival of pauper Immigrants yesterday.
Commissioner Stephenson said he had
procured afidavits showing they had been
inmates of several poor houses in Ireland,
and had been induced to come 10 this
country by the workkouse masters, from
whom they have received passage tickets
and small sums of money, The commits
sioners consider the landing of the paupers
largely due to the laxity of management
at Castle Garden. He recommended that
inspectors be appointed VINO would not be
afraid to do their duty. After further dis
cussion it was resolved to in
struct the secretary of the
board to detain all emigrants proved to be
sent here by funds furnished by the Brit
ish government, and to appoint a COM
mittee of the board to wait on the collec-
tor of the port and present the afidavits
taken in such cases, and ask that the
steamship companies which brought such
emigrants here be compelled to take them
to the port from whence they came at
their own expense. While the meeting
was in progress the commissioners were
Informed that the steamer Anchoria had
just arrived with immigrants whose pas
sage had been paid by the British govern
ment, and who were paupers. 1t was re-
solved not to allow to Anchoria's passen-
gers to land until an inspection was made
and a thorough investigation had. The
commissioners express themselves de-
termined to put stop to the landing of
pauper Immigrants from foreign coun-
tries. The committee laid the matter be-
fore Collector Robertson, who promised
TO take decisive action at once.

A Last Memento

On the death of Hon. Ebenezer Ayres
passed by Acacia lodge No. 81, A. F. & A.
NJ, of Cottage Grove, of which Mr.. Ayres
was member. For that;
WHEREAS, Our late brother Ayres has
departed this life, and gone to that
land from whose bourne no traveller re-
turns; and deeming it fit that we, his breth-
rem, who are bound to him by ties that
could not be broken except by death alone,
should unite in heartfelt sentiment to be
spread upon the records of our lodge, as a
lasting memento of our esteem, respect
and brotherly love for our departed broth
er. Now, therefore, be it
Resolred, That in the death of
brother Ayres the state has lost
an earnest, energetic and talented
citizen, one whose logical and intellectual
power seemed to ripen as he advanced in
years. Be it further
ReSolred, That we, the Free Masons
of Cottage Grove, sincerely regret
the loss of our brother, for in him
we have lost jealous and sincere brother
Mason, one who acted on the square with
all ma nkind, and one who was ever ready
and willing to help needy or distressed
brother. We feel that our chain has been
broken. his friendly grasp, that grasp so
characteristic to the brotherhood, will new
or more be felt. As words of comfort to
the bereaved we can only say: All that
have lived like him have passed away, and
yet their resting place is but an empty
hull, ask yonder grave to-day where is thy
guest, and from within those chilly walls
will echo forth the words, not here, he has
gone to brighter spheres,to happier homes.
he is with his God. Be it further
RESOLVED, That we tender to his
bereaved wife our heartfelt sym
pathy. We can offer her no better
consolation than in his own express
sions, that death is but thin veil transpa-
rent 10 those who have passed beyond it,
and is but one link in the chain of exist
ence, the end of which will bring saliva
ton to all mankind. Be it further
Resotved, That these resolutions be
spread at large upon the rec
ords of our lodge, that a copy
thereof be sent to the wife of our deceased
brother, and that copy be sent to each OF
the three papers published at Saltwater,
viz: The Lumberman, Gazette and Mes
Senger, and also to the Pioneer Press and
GLOBE, published at st. Paul, and the Hast
ings Gazette, published at Hastings.

CIDER.

In England the cider apple is princi-
pally grown in Herefordshire and Devon
shire, and in portions of Gloucestershire,
Monmouthshire, Worcestershire. Dorset
shire, Somersetshire and Cornwall; and
on the other side Of the British channel
must be mentioned Jersey, Normandy
and Brittany. Many farmer counts. in
good year, upon paying his rent by
his cider harvest. Although its value in
relation to other beverages is not great.
1t IS astonishing how important factor
it is in successful farming in those dis.
trlcts, and what respectable piece de
resistance is a good cellarful of this
drink. Throughout the summer. but
especially in hay and harvest-time, the
quantity consumed by the farm-laborer
would astonish the North-countryman or
town operative, it being considered
nothing unusual for him to dispose of
his two to three gallons in day; and
the farmer, his sons and his servants.
and in many cases his whole household.
make use of hardly any other drink
throughout the year. If the farmers
stock runs dry in consequence of a
meager harvest, he is obliged to procure
the cider at any price, for the laborers
will insist upon regular allowance of
their favorita ta rafroobD,oo4 r. ...... j.
tricts the use of beer is gradually being
substituted in certain establishments for
that of cider; but this is not so much to
be regretted as the more baneful con-
sumption of cheap spirituous liquors.
Notwithstanding so great consumption
of what is sometimes not much better
than vinegar, cider-drinking does not
appear to be fraught with any very seri-
