in reaching Fort Conger. The Greedy
party made maps and charts of the
region they explored, and named points
and places hitherto unknown after dis

For instance, one body OF water they
called HowRate lake, a point of land was
dubbed Cape Howgate. high mountain
Mount Howgate, and so on: the now
famous fugitive coming in for most of
the honors in this line, because of the
zeal he had shown in the work Of Arctic
exploration while connected with
the signal corps. These design

The estate of Osborne is at least five
times as valuable as it was when it was
purchased, by the queen and Prince
Albert about forty years ago. Phe
Balmoral property Of her majesty now
extends over $4,000 acres. Claremont
was granted to the queen for life in 1856,
with reversion to the country, and her
majesty purchased the property outright
three years ago for g78,OO0. Probably
lts. market value is not much under

property at Coburg, and the Princes
Hohenlohe left her the Villa Hohenlobe

|dences in the place. With regard to per.
sonal property Mr.. Field left the queen
over E5O0,O0O, and the property left by
the prince consort is believed to have
amounted to nearly 100000; but the

been confided to Lord Sydney, who is q

reason to believe that in due course ap.
plication will be made to parliament on
behalf of the children Of the prince and

be royal message on the
subjest of Prince Albert Victor's

1t will be seen, therefore, that the queen
will have plenty to do with her fortune,
large as it undoubtedly is; and although
in the event Of her majestys death the
country would be asked to provide for
Princess Beatrice, yet she will occupy
an important place in her mothers will. .

The Ruins of Baalbec.

DR.. H. NJ, Field in the Evangelist
Everything is colossal. The area is
larger than hat of the temple at Jerusa-
lem. We may begin with the walls,
which are half a mile around, and of
such height and depth as are rarely
attained in the most tremendous fortress.
When from within l climbed to the top,
it made me giddy to look over the
perilous edge to the depth below; and
when from without the walls, / looked
up at them, they rose highin air. Some
of the stones seem as If they must have
been reared in place, not by Titans,
but by the gods. There are 9stones 30
feet long and 10 feet thick, which is
larger than the foundation-stones of the
temple at Jerusalem, dating from the
time of Solomon, or any blocks in the
great pyramid, But even these are
pigmies compared with the three giants
of the western wall-62, 63i and Ga
feet long.
These are said to be the largest stones
ever used in any construction. They
weigh hundreds of tons, and instead of
being merely hewn out of a quarry,
which might have been on the site, and
left to lie where they were before, they
have been lifted 10 feet from the
ground, and there imbeddedin the WALL
Never was there such C~yclopean archi-
lecture. How such enormous masses
could be moved is a problem with mod
ern engineers. Sir Charles Wilson,
whom / met In Jerusalem, is at this
moment in Baalbee. Standing in the
grounds OF the temple, he tells me that
in the British museum there is an n
cient tablet which reveals the way in
which such stones were moved. The
mechanics were very simple. Rollers
were put under them, and they were
drawn up inclined planes by sheer hui
man muscle-the united strength of
great numbers of men. In the rude de-
sign on the tablet the whole scene is
pictured to the eye. There are battal-
ions of men, hundreds to a single roller,
with the taskmasters standing over
them, lash in hand, which was freely
applied to make them pull together,
and the king sitting on high to give the
signal for this putting forth OF human
strength en- masse, as if an army were
moving to battle. A battle it was In
the waste of human life which it causedl
These temples of .Baalbec must have

and showed no outward traces of i'll
health to which he attributed his seclu-

his way with unfailing regularity, Miss
Twitterbit had nothing to complain of,
but her kind heart was touched by his
loneliness, and she felt a sympathetic
interest in him, which induced her to
try the experiment Of sending him a
valentine.
She did this because she had arrived
at the conclusion that the poor young
man was pining away from the effects of
an unrequitted attachment. Having her.
