AN elastic and Anticipated legend tells
how, when the nations were about to dis
tribute the world among themselves, they
all assembled in the centre of the universe,
divided into parts and drew lots. Some,
however, refused to leave it to chance,
preferring to make their own selection
We, said the Latins. ''Want wisdom. +"
eve want the sea-" said the English.
The Turks said, eve want the land -
'1Gold and war for u.s." said the French.
The Russians said, eve prefer the noun
tain and the mines" ''Well, you Ser
VANS, and what do you want?' ''Ah p
they said. eve are thinking" And to
this day they have not done thinking yet.

Mr. Bostwick asked that the vote upon

Mr.. Bostwick asked that the vote upon
the resolution be taken by ballot.
DR.. Gray of Brownsville, moved to lay
the resolution upon the table, but it seems
that Chairman Harris, who is q little deaf,
did not hear the motion, and the Y ste on
the resolution was put. Very few under
stood that it was the motion to adopt the
resolution; the vote was very light, and
the negative vote was not taken. Where
upon Mr.. Rolph, of Brownsville, protested
against the resolution going on record, as
it had not been properly presented by
motion, and if so, no negative vote was
taken. His protest, however, was.not no.
ticed by the presiding officer, and no fair
chance to vote upon the resolution by
ballot was accorded. Had such an OPP
portunity been afforded it is believed the
resolution would have been defeated.
Mr.. Bostwick moved that the chairman
of the delegation to the Congressional
convention Mr. Wilkins) be authorized
to cast the vote of absentees. .-...ss
This motion was amended by Mr.. Nit
son that each delegate be allowed to ap-
point his own proxy, which was carried.
After the adoption of resolution of
thanks to the officers, and pleasant
speech by Chairman Harris in which he
paid high compliment to our beautiful
court house, the 30x91 convention ad-
journed.

IT is misapprehcnsion to suppose that

IT is misrepresentation to suppose that
the chief purpose of Arctic exploration is
to reach the north pole. The north pole
has figured in the schemes of scientific ex-
plorers only as desirable incident in the
carrying out of their work: Geographers
talk Of the north pole quest pure and
simple as an unscientifc and puerile idea.
What explorers are really expected to do
is to advance as far as practicable into the
unknown region, to study its geography
and make important scientific observat-
ions. Capt. Mares, nine years ago. had to
halt 400 miles this side the pole. But his
expedition was called a brilliant success,
because he entered the great frozen sea
north of this continent, explored the
coast line for distance of thirty-five de-
grees of longitude, and brought home
great mass of interesting scientific data.
The leading geographers assert that Arc
tic exploration is Of immense value to the
world, both in its scientific and in its COM
mercial aspects. They say that winds,
tides, terrestrial magnetism, meteorology,
and other important phenomena cannot
be thoroughly investigated except under
many different conditions of temperature
and locality. Ameng many triumphs Of
Arctic research they mention the fixing
of the position of the true magnetic pole
by Ross, the finding Of a simple means of
keeping the needle pointing to the true
north in high ATTITUDES, the discovery of
the commercial mineral cryolite, and Of
the great whaling and sealing grounds in
the Spitzbergen and North Greenland
seas. They assert also that, in spite of
the frightful disasters. that have befallen
some exploring parties, the loss of life
has been small. About three per cent. of
the Arctic explorers have died in the
course Of their work a large proper
ton when compared with the mortality
among African explorers

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Nov 23.-Word has just been
received here of the alarming extent of cholera
among hogs in the south part of this county and
in the east edge of Lawrence. The disease has
been prevailing for several weeks and within
the last few days hundreds have died The re
port states that it is especially fatal among pigs
The disease will break out in litter of young
pigs, and in twenty-four hours all will be dead
some dying within an hour after being taken
Barton Armstrong. leading stock dealer at
Harrodsburg, had about 500 stock hogs, and when
the cholera made its appearance, over 100 died;
others that were not affected were sold OF given
away. Farmers are killing their hogs every
where; this has lowered the price of corn, and
thousands of bushels are being cribbed.

by the missionary boards of the churches they
represent, but at best this is only scanty ada-
ton to the still scantier support given by their
poor parishioners. Living as they do, in rented
houses, without foot of land or which to raise
food, without dollar except what is given
them, they are to-day the most wretched of the
miserable, starving people there. Their wives
and children are dying of starvation, but still
they stick to their posts, and are really the only
nurses in the scourged section. The writer tells
touching story of the devotion of a Methodist
missionary minister residing at Gladisvflle, a
small hamlet in the Cumberland mountains. His
family consisted of wife and three children.
His salary is $3.50 per annum; half of this came
from the missionary society. In three months
this devoted man has received but $40, and he
had but $40 when the plague began With his
own hands he prepared for the graves (which he
himself dug the bodies of his wife and two chill
dren, making coffins of rude boards He said
the simple burial service, and was the only
mourner. Day and night he has iabored without
