Eventually HSaNy AoA moeV
gale drove them by Cape Sabine,
Within a mile of Brevoort Island, but
they could not land, and September
22d there arose the most terrific
gale they had yet seen on the Arctic
Ocean. Their ice foe was driven
bitber and tither by the tenn
pest and waves wa:hed over
them again aHd again, tne spray
freezing to them and causing them
intense suffering. Night came on,
one of inky blackuess; the WIND
threw The heavy foes together with
crash after crash az the ice broke,
while their own flee warned the
men that death was near TO them.
No man knew what minute the hoe
might break up and the water en-.
gulf them. The frat faint ilgnI OF
dawn showed that little remained OF
the fios on which they were; the sea
washed another close to the m;cioser
and closer it came and at last at a
word the men succeeded in getting
upon 1t. The storm slowly subslded
and they gained land at E qulmaux
Point near Baird's Inlet, September
20. Here winter quarters were ouli6
and eight scouts were sent TO cape
Isabella and Cape Sabine. La few
DAYS they returned. Their report
cent thrill OF horror TO every heart.
At Cape ISABEL and Care Sabine
were found only 1850 rati1ns,
and from Garlington's records they
learned the fate of Pfoteus. Every
one knew death must come to D early
all of the party long before ship OF
rescue could force its way into Mel
vile Bay. Efforts were made to
sustain the spirits of the men by
lectures and light readings. October
18th the party moved to Cape Sa.
bine; January 18th, Cross died OF
scurvy. In April the rations issued
, daily had dwindlei to four ounces o.
meat and six ounces Of bread. Mar

Turned to Marble.
Cincinnati Sum-.

A well-dressed. small, bald-headed man
wearing two restless black eyes flashing on
the inside of pair of gold specks, a white
necktie, low shoes, and a philosophical ap-
pearance generally, was met last evening in
the corridors of the Burnett This gentle
man, who answers to the title of SignoI
Baccioco, halls from Genoa, and is visiting
the city for the purpose of introducing a
new system of embalming.
'You may hardly credit it," remarked
the Professor, on being quizzed, "but the
idea of the final decomposition of the body
is thing of the past A complete revolu-
tion hes already begun which bids fair not
only to abolish the cemeteries of the coun-
try, but give to art much that the grave
robs."
"How?n
I'm this way: The veins of the bodies
submitted to our treatment are charged
with mineral which not only-by its
chemical action-changes the veins into
hard stone, but before coming entirely ossi-
fed has the some effect upon all the sur
rounding tissues. In other words, it is
simply rapid process of petriticatiOn or
marketing of the flesh and veins and tis-
sues The idea was first discovered in Ge-
noa by friend of mine, chemist, who
has already utilized the idea by marble
izing number of animals and placing
them on his lawn. 1t takes from two to
three weeks for the chemicals to have their
proper action after the blood has been
drained from the system"
What of the appearance of the body ?"
Singular to say, the human body re-
tains a most singular healthlike color ex-
cept around the eyes, which of course al
ways present that sunken, weird appear
ance The chemicals are not so costly
either, the body of girl of Is costing from
$25 to 800, according to size and weight"
"And as to its preservation ?"
LAST longer than the old Egyptian
method. The anti-cremationlsts of the
country are taking hold of it with good
deal of zeal, and / think righttully. The
idea of being able to actually metamor-
phose the human body into stone, and
placing it in ones garden or utilizing it for
art purpose, may sound somewhat startling
to even the American mind, but it is based
upon a sound philosophical principle and
will be the idea of the future. Here, for
instance" continued the professor taking
from his inside coat pocket what the San
at first mistook for piece of stalactite, " is
actually the finger of gentleman who
was formerly professor in the jena Uni
versity. 1t took just two weeks to obtain
that result by our process. The rest of the
body is in a Berlin museum. Should the
system become finally adopted, the acres
now used for cemetery purposes will be
used up in better way.

Balance in Character.
Philadelphia Call.

Few persons are possessed of perfectly
balanced nature Amiability is apt to be
allied with weakness a vigorous, pushing
character is often impulsive, harsh and un-
Just A reflective mind is slow to act a
prompt mind is often wrong. So through
all the elements of character. All the
qualities that 60 to make up perfect NOR
al nature rarely appear in one person. The
physical and intellectual do not precisely
conform; the mental and moral are not
evenly balanced There are those pos
sessed of stronger moral than mental ma
tnres They constitute the spasmodic, i'm
pulsive element in society. There are
others whose intellects so absolutely con-
troll their moral natures, that nothing is
admitted that can not be reasoned out sat
isfactorily. There are persons whose strong
animal natures dominate all else, and both
mind and spirit are subservient
To regulate all these parts so as to attain
a fair degree of equality is the right step
toward securing what may be called bal
ance in character.

The Odious English Debt,

MEXICO, November 19-The bill for the
conversion of the English debt was not dis
cussed in Congress this afternoon. The
situation therefore is unchanged. Diaz
told representative of the Associated
Press to-day that in whatever way the
question of debt might be decided public
order would be preserved, and he would
answer with his life for the security Of the
lives and property of Mexicans and for
eigners He says there is not even a germ
of revolution in Mexico. ut is true,
he continued, "that portion of the peo-
pie oppose the conversion of the English
debt, but they are united on other ques-
tions." The people are excited and are ex-
pressing their opinions freely, and the dis
orderly classes are taking advantage of this
to attempt to create local disturbances, but
nothing serious has occurred.

Report of the Commissioner of Agri.
culture.


WASHINGTON, November 2O.-The Com
missioner of Agriculture, in his annual re-
port, pays a well merited compliment to
Prof. Dodge, statistician of the depart
ment, for the diligence and ability of his
work and the value of his monthly re-
ports, which, he says, attracted great at
tentiOn not only in this country, but in
Europe. The report of Prof. Dodge shows
that between 1860 and 1880 the value of
the various products of the country, in
Guiding meats, grains, dairy products and
cotton, increased in value from 81 100000
900 to So, 900, 100000 in round numbers
With good prices, the current production
of agriculture in the United States can be
little short of S4,000,000,000, and the
values are those of home markets, and not
eastern commercial cities or ports of ex-
pOrtation.
The Commissioner says: "The wheat
area is so much beyond the requirements
of consumption in this and other countries
as to depress the price to a point unprece-
dented in recent years, favOring at certain
points the use of wheat in feeding for
polk production. The cause of this super
abundance is twofold. First, the extern
sion of settlement in the Northwest prairie
and dry plains of the Pacific coast; and
second, the extraordinary period of COM
parative failure of European wheat for
several consecutive years. The progress
of settlement must be less rapid hereafter,
and already it has been followed by COM
parative plenty. These facts of the pro-
ducts and prices point to the sharp neces-
sity of adapting production to consump-
ton, to supply the food products now i'm
ported, to give remunerative employment
to agricultural labor, and food in variety
and cheapness to consumers.

The costliest watch ever made in the
city was completed the other day. 1t was
made for quack doctor who was repre-

tor in raised gold and surrounded by a

HEARTS OF OLD.

Ye hearts of old, ye hearts of gold,
Companions in the morning sun,
Tonight | pledge you as of old,
And pay the homage you have won.
Behind the northern clouds | see
Illuminations of the night:
So through dark years shine back to me
Your happy presences of light.
Who has the power to cheer the soul
Like those we know when life was young
When boyhood ran from goal to goal,
And all the fields with laughter rung.
It was youths ignorance of life
That made the days so smoothly glide;
And now, amid the clash and strife,
You, hearts of old, are dehed
Ne merry, merry hearts of old,
True mates within the dawning light,
Desire and fancy overbold
Bring you again with me tonight.
The echoes of the hillside sound
Your voices to the wales again;
There's cheering on the old play ground,
And skirmishing by hay and grain.
