TOlerabJy PROSPEROUS.
From the New York Sun.

GEOIa tu0 NOW 4OrK SUD.
We are now, as nation, out of bebt, we
are owners Of our productive machinery,
and our surplus earnings are nearly if not
quite enough to NEE all the demands for
additions to it. We pay in taxes to the
general government hundred millions of
dollars year more than the government
returns us to in its expenditures; we are
building, mostly out of our own resources,
new railroads by the thousands of miles;
the new buildings put up in New York city
alone during the past year absorbed nearly
fifty millions of dollars, and similar
building activity has prevailed more or less
all over; the deposits in our savings banks
increase by tens If not hundreds Of millions
annually; the western farmers, who used to
pay ten per cent. per annum for money on
bond and mortgage, are now either out of
debt altogether. or borrow of their neigh
bors OF six per cent. and so abundant has
capital become that lenders, as a rule,
are content with five per cent. for long
loans on good security where they used to
get seven, and four per cent. whe.e they
used to get SIX.

watery gambols. Our party wps perfectly
astonished at the way in which
these Kanakas dispoitsd themselves In
the water. Divested Of all clothing, both
men and women would dive into the basin
OF pool 70 depth Of thirty or forty feet,
A coin thrown into water would be brought
mp with the greatest rapidity. Some Of
the girls took up position on rock
which. to Judge by eye measurement, Was
OF least sixty feet high, and jumped into
the basin with their bodies in Q rigid posi-
ton. Others again assembled 10 the top Of
the fall and came down with the water IN
it's descent. No small wonder, indeed.
that the Kanskas are able to conquer the
sharks. which they do by getting under
their belly and ripping It open.

The Worlds Coolest Places.

from the London Pail Mall Gazette.
The coolest place on the earth is not as
has hitherto been believed by meteorolog-
lists, Yakutsk, in Siberia, but verkoyansk,
in the same region, lying it 81 10 degrees
north latitude, on the river Yana. It's low
est mean winter temperature is 1876 de-
grees telow zero contigrade. This then, is
the cold pole Of the earth in Asia. The cor.
responding polein America being to the nor h
west of the Parry Islands; and the line adj
joining these two places does not pass
through the North Pole itself, which is thus,
in all probability, outside the line of great
est cold. It is noteworthy that Verkoy-
ansk, like Yakutsk, is on the mainland, q
considerable distance from the Siberian
coast, which possesses comparatively
milder climate. The recent Schwatka
Franklin search expedition, however, found
that in the neighborhood Of the back river
the mean winter temperature is not far be-
hind that of Verkoyansk; Of course, the
minimm of both places reach much lower
figure. It is we'll known that in the tropics,
on the other hand. tho greatest heat is not
OF the equator, but at some distance north
and south Of it.

English and French Women.

The French are very fond Of deery-
ing the women of our country as fiat
chested, long membered, large-footed
race, awkward in gait, addressed or
over-dressed, unlearned in the element
ary rules of that important matter, the
dressing of the hair and incapable of har-
monlzlng colors, Gays writer in the
London Standard. These criticisms are
ill-natured and exaggerated, but never
the!ess good many grains of truth I'M
derlie them. Take a London and
Partisan shop girl as an example. The
former has generally the advantage over
+ the latter in clearness of complexion
and in comliness, yet she loses by the
comparison. She is neither so becom-
lngly dressed nor so careful to suit the
color OF her dress to her complexion,
nor so neatly shod; and, above all, she
seems to be ignorant of the resources
an abundant head of hair afforGs her as
frame to an attractive youthful coun.
tenance. The horrible barbarous FASH
ION of cutting the hair short, which OBJ
tains no favor in France, prevails. I
observed with real regret, to a consider.
able extent in London, ard when the
scissors have not been ruihlessly applied
to ma:culinize the female head
there seems to be deplorabie
want of taste displayed in the arrange-
ment of their tresses by London girls.
Those met out, those saw behind
the counter. appeared to have a peculiar
penchant for screwing their hair into
tight ugly little knots, singularly un.
graceful-so thought, ut all events.
fresh from the sight of Partisan heads.
The appearance of the London nurse
maid also con:rasted unfavorably with
that of the French bonnie. 1 do not re-
Ter to the elite of the calling in either
country, but to the ordinary middle
class nurse-girl or bonnie, such as one
meets with in Kensington gardens or
in the Tuileries. Perhaps the tasty cap
worn by the latter, with its meter and
half Of broad ribbon streamers behind,
