Greenland.

Bat the truth is that Greenland,
though scarcely an eligible place OF
residence, has long been known to
be not merely a great field for hunt
ing and fishing, but also locality
bv no means unsuited to the miner,
were it not for it. unhospitable eli
mate and the extreme difficulty OF
approaching the eastern coast, or at
least the most southerlv part of it..
Jutting, as the country does, far out
into the Atlantic Cape Farewell i.
in the same latitude as the centre OF
the Shetland group, and curving, as
IL does at the same time toward the
east. il catches the ice drift from the
polar seas, and retains it all along
its southern coast. 1t therefore rep
resents the spectacle, singular in the
Northern Hemisphere, of ice-bound
shores 10 the south and free water
northward. In addition to these
drawbacks, it may be doubted wheth-
er even the pressure of population in
civilized countries will soon induce
many Europeans to colonize Green
land. And without European colo
nization the development of such
mineral wealth as it may possess is
impossible. Either the climate of
the regions, as is certainly the case
with Iceland, has positively grown
worse during historic memory, or
the human frame has become less
enduring, or which is more proba-
ble-the habits of advancing civili-
zation have made the human will
less tolerant except for purposes OF
sport or scientific investigation, OF
the sordid discomforts of an Arctic
winter. We say Arctic for conven.
fence sake, though in fact Greenland
stretches for hundreds of miles south
of the Arctic circle. We should he
the last to deny the value of Arctic
exploration, both as what may be
called national gymnastics and as
enlarging the sphere OF knowledge ;
but it may be doubted whether any
practical result of marketable value
is likely to come of it now. Baron
Nordeskold's own most famous
achievement-that voyage of the
Vega which has really opened up a
prospect of trade on the north Asiat-
lc coast-may seem to be an excep-
tion TO this. But the value of this
discovery depends upon the exist
ence Of three great river highways
from the Siberian Sea, and if the
often talked-of trans Siberian rail
way, which would tap and connect
these highways at their head instead
of at their foot, be ever carried out.
it may be questioned whether there
would then be any temptation to
ships to follow in the track of the
Vega. The Mackenzie in America
aud the Plethora in Europe by no
means supply the place of the three
Siberian rivers. and such a windfall
Bs the fossil ivory of New Siberia
though it might recur, can not bt

has the advantage over these distant
and still more inhospitable coasts

Early History Of the Remington Typewriter.
Rr0deyrcefs

In a pamphlet descriptive of the Type. writer
which 1t is charity without ostentation to
make known wherever there are WRITER'S
Messrs. Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict say that
the first thought of such an invention is to be
attribut cd to Henry Mill, unknown to fame
who obtained patent In England In 17l4 for
simple machine to write consecutively the
letters OF the alphabet In type. IL did not
create sensation; 1t was not as much to the
typewriter as the piano keys of Lesage to
Prof. Morsc's electromagnetic, and 1t was for

as d competitor Of the pen. 1t was at that
time, IN ls4i, in England, a patent was
Wright for "a machine to print intelii-
gence at distant places," which never
came into use. In the United States, Charles
Thurber, Fairbanks and Oliver II. Eddy OBJ
tained patents, and did nothing. In 1867 Mr..
Q. Latham Sholes, printer and editor; Mr..
Samuel W. Soule, a printer, and Mr.. Carlos
Glidden, retired merchant, all residents of
Milwaukee, inspired by an article of the Lon
type" invented by John Pratt, of Centre, Ala,
projected the Typewriter. 1t was completed
after six years Of the persistent application in
dispensable TO all great enterprises. Practi-
cally, the first instrument was made by L.
Remington Sons, in 1873, who are still the
sole manufacturers.
The manufacturers conducted the sale until
l sS2. with and interval of assistance from the
others In August 1882, the sole agency for
the entire world was entrusted to Messrs.
Wyckof, Seamans & Benedict, who have made
in two years the work of quarter of a cen.
tury, for none could have expected In so short
time Messrs. L. Remington 4 Sons would be
compelled to increase their workshops and
their legion of skilled workmen at Ilian. The

BAUAf,s NEW ANNEX.

Making His store Ono OF tho Largest
Dry Goods Houses south OF New
York.
Last Christmas-time Mr.. Charles Baum
enlarged his store, No. 416 Seventh street,
by new three-story building in the rear
of his premises, which extended through
to Eighth street. This Christmas season
he finds his business so increased that
additional space is necessary, and on
next Tuesday he will have completed and
open to tho public on annex fifty feet
square, filed with wonderful attractions
in Christmas goods-not only toys for
the children, but various articles for in
terror decoration, some Of them being tho
handsomest ever displayed here. in
Guiding fine bronzes aud statuary.
This annex is on the first floor and con-
nected with tho extension Of Eighth
street, and to this later in the season Mr..
Baum will make an addition, with which
he will have over an acre Of floor space
for the sale and display of goods. After
the holiday season this additional space
will enable Mr.. Baum to increase his dry
goods and millinery department. to an ex-
tent that will compare with the largest
stores in the country, and be unexcelled
by any south of New York city. One
entering this establishment is astonished
ut its unexpected size and the easy access
sibility of every part. Every modern ap-
pliance for the rapid transaction of busi-
ness and for the comfort of his patrons is in
use throughout the building. On the
first floor as one enters notions are dis
played; in the basement below are books
and stationery. On the floor above are
trimmings. hosiery, and gloves, and going
toward Eighth street is tho immense dry
goods department. Above these are cot
ton, underwear, corsets, and infants out
fits, while on the adjoining floor is the
immense cloak parlor. Mr.. Baum's sue
cess has been phenomenal, and his estab-
lishment grows more popular daily. He
has the enterprise to secure every attrac-
tion in his line, aud the business ability
to get them at the very lowest figures,
and with his immense sales he is able to
place in his customers hands goods al
figures that defy competition.

THE LAST OF DE woLowsKI.
Ills Remains Removed to Egg Har-
bor for Interment.


1t was sad procession that left the
house of the suicide, Alexandra De Wo-
lowski, at o'clock yesterday morning.
In front Of the house was hearse and
one carriage, and two police officers stood
at the door. In the parlor of the house
was q plain cloth-covered casket, with
silver handles and trimmings. The in
scription on the casket was, "Alexandre
s. De Wolowski; died Dec. A, 1884, aged
46 years." On small table to the right
of the coffin was small bouquet of roses,
the only floral tribute. sent by friends.
The undertaken and officers came out
of the house every few minutes and
looked anxiously down tho street. When
the former came out the third time he
remarked that he didn't "think they
would come to the house, but would wait
at the depot" He referred to Miss Isa-
belle De Wolowski ana her friend, Mrs.
Beall. One of the officers looked at his
watch, and said it was time to be going.
WELL" said the other officer, 1--WE will
have nice day for it."
At signal from the undertaken three
men and tho two officers lifted tho casket
and took it out to the hearse. The driver
sprang to his seat, and the undertaken
got into the carriage, and they both drove
off. The policemen stood looking until
the small cortege had passed around the
corner Then they went inside. closed
up the house. and went to the station.
At the Baltimore and Potomac depot
Miss DeWoloski was waiting with Miss
Beall. They were both attired in black,
and the former carried an alligator-skin
bag. They waited on the platform until
the $3.50 train for the north was an-
nounced and then walked out and took
seats in the car behind tho baggage van,
where the casket had been placed. The
body will be inferred at Egg Harbor, N.
