ED BULLETIN Leaving Hawthorne
on the morning Of the oath, l reached
Bodie the same evening, after very
pleasant "trip. The next morning |
took passage with Hector for Virginia
Creek. The ride from Bodie was
devoid of interest, with the exception
Of getting stuck two or three times
and being treated to few turnovers
in the snow. Arriving at Virginia
Creek, | found Mr.. Wilson and
family who had lived here all Winter
and seemed as if they had enjoyed it.
They were very short of provisions, in
fact, they had nothing left but a few
potatoes. The prospect was certainly
not very bright for your correspondent
and Tom Rule, the genial foreman of
the hydraulic mines, who is also here.
But, as good fortune would have it,
Mrs. Rosepthsl came out with load
Of provisions, and we are all happy.
There is very little snow on the flat,
but along the ditch there is from -four
to ten feet, so that 1t will be impossible
to commence work on the mine for, al
least, two weeks. The weather con
tiaues cold and stormy, being in direct
contras. to the balmy, I,alian-like ali

The March Through the Desert.

Appliances of several kinds for stor-
ing fresh water and carrying it across
the desert in the proposed expedition
from Suakim to Khartoum are in
course of preparation at the royal
arsenal, Woolwich. For use at the
wells and GASES, large reservoirs of
waterproof canvas have been pro-
vided, some of them several yards
square, for dipping pals in to water
horses, others shaped like ordinary
troughs, and others adapted to the re-
quirements of the troops. For convey
ing the water on camels iron tanks are
being made, about three feet long by
eight inches broad and fourteen inches
deep; but it is not quite decided wheth-
er ordinary casks of wood shall be
employed for the purpose, and proba-
bly, supply of both will be sent out
Already have gone n great number of
cisterns formed of galvanized zinc plates
riveted, and each having capacity of
about two hundred gallons, and these
it is proposed to place at convenient
points along the line ofmarch for replen-
ishing the camel loads Each animal will
carry two casks slung pannier-wise
across a pack saddle, and each cask will
contain about twenty gallons. Not more
than ten miles of railway has yet been
despatched to the Soudan, but the
steamship engineer, which has Just left
Woolwich, has on board some of the
locomotive plant, including engines,
steam cranes, etc. Yesterday some
balks of timber and bales of sandbags,
which the engineer could not take,
were sent on board the Peninsular and
Oriental steamer Rohilla for immed-
late conveyance to Suez, en- route to
Suakim, being in urgent demand; and
the chartered steam transport Dunlice,
which has been for some time employed
on similar service, will arrive at the
arsenal in few days for more railway
iron and some of the miscellaneous
stores for Egypt, now accumulated,
among which are a quantity of light
planks for hut building and iron pipes
for constructing aqueducts.-London

As toward the pole our explorers went,
And they marked the exploration line
Four miles ahead.
o! but the record is wondrous fine,
With nineteen dead.
How many is that to the mile? Hold on!
The record is made and the work is done.
Though most of them persisted along the track,
We ought to be thankful that six came back.
OF course we must count upon toll and pain;
But think of the record and think of the gain!
We have passed beyond the British mark,
Four miles ahead
And here and yonder are cold and stark
Our nineteen dead.
Where is the man who made the mark?
Turn over the leaf-that page is dark.
He made it-that's glory enough for him,
Though cold is his flesh and his eyes are dim.
Some lives must be offered for such gain,
And think on our right to be proud and vain
He has planted our flag on the northward

The saloon is an institution whicks
makes the poor poorer continually. If
only half the expenditure of The wage
earning classes upon drink were saved
the elevation of those classes would pro-
coed by leaps aud bounds. The saloon,
however, is ever lying in wait for the,
weak or the social wage-earner. In this.
great city, on any of the main avenues,
he can not walk block without passing
a mandatory of misery. At every
turn the purveyor of drink enticeS him,
gets between him and his family, be-
tween him and his manhood, between
him and his happiness. The pervading
influence of rum pursues the slaves of
appetite increasingly, and makes their
lives a constant struggle or a succession
of disastrous falls.
This subtle, prevalent influence is the,
bitterest curse that rests upon modern
civilization, and it will destroy civiliza-
ton if it is not itself destroyed. For
the discomfort, the anarchic tendencies,
the seditious doctrines, the dangerous
dispositions that are manifesting in CEN
ters of population, together with the.
vices OF administration which alarm the.
thoughtful, and the difficulties in the.
way of reform, which are due TO the in
tractabiiity of the material dealt with
all have their spring and origin in that,
habit of drinking, that potent drink in
lluence, which battles the enthusiasm of
the reformer and laughs to scorn the
appeals of religion, of reason and of
seIf-respect. This evil influence is de-.
grading and brutalizing society, and.
progress will be slow and unsatisfactory
until public opinion is formed which
refuses to palter with the abuse longer.
