Undeterred by the i'll success and
loss of life of former Polar expedi-
tions, a Russian enterprise to reach
the pole is shortly to be tested. 1t
is to be undertaken by several Off
GERS of the Russian navy, who expect
10 start with sledges and dogs from
the New Llberian Island. These are
nine hundred nautical miles from
the North Pole. Provision will be
made for employing boats to carry
the party from island to island in
the Polar seas G4oyraphers insist
that Arctic exploration has more
than paid expenses. 1t has enabled
us to improve our maps. The blank
space of sixty years ago are now
filled with large islands, archipela-
goes, and vast seas. New whaling
and sealing grounds have beer
found, and a commercial minera
of great value, cryolite, is now ex
ported in large quantities from Ivig
tut to Europe. Then the discover
les have helped to fix the position O
the magnetic pole, and to perfect
the art of living in high latitudes
So the work of exploration will go on
its very dangers stimulating the ad.
venturous spirit of those that would
wrest the secret of the pole.

The ideal Sabbath, is the Sabbath
at home, when the head of the house
hold-farmer or mechanic, mer-
chant or Lawyer, capitalist or opera
tive-enjoys weekly rest among
those for whom six days of labor
have been sent. Whether the Sab
bath institution was or was not Gre
ated by the fourth commandment
there is in these words: "Ihou, nor
thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy
maid-servant," a glimpse of the
restful enjoyment which the day in
the primitive conception of it, would
bring to the families that keep it.
The day Of rest being rest, not rev.
elry or dissipation and being, there
fore, a day of home enjoyment, with
its opportunity for sober thought
and conference. Allmea, and especi-
ally the busy millions in an advanced
civilization Ike our own, need for the
minds sake, not less than for the
sake of wearied nerves and muscles
the seventh daily intermission Of
their ordinary work. A true Sab
bath is something far more restful
than a day OF noisy jollity. In its
calm air the mind rests by thought
not thoughtlessness; by quietly mus
ing, by conscious or unconscious re-
trospection; perhaps by the con-
sideration of what might have been
perhaps by aspiration and resolve
toward something in the future that
shall be better tnan what has beer
in the past. The home in which
Sunday is day of rest and home
enjoyment, is hallowed by the Sab
bath which it hallows. In the Sab
bath-keeping village, life is les.
frivolous, and at the same time in.
dustry is more productive.-Bacon

A funny story is told of a lady
who was foolish enough to answer a
"personal' in a daily paper, which
stated that young man was de-
sirous of making the acquaintance
of young woman, with a view to
matrimony. She carried on a long
correspondence with the advertiser,
taking, however, the precautlon to
have her letters copied by conf
Dental friend. She always sent the
copies and retained the originals.
Her answers came regularly, but
her correspondent was quite as cau-
tious as she was herself, for he al
ways employed a type writer, and
she had no means of becoming fa-
mliar with his handwriting. FL
naily, after good deal of gush, a
meeting was agreed upon by the pair,
and the lady was somewhat sur
prised, when she arrived at the place
appointed, to see her brother, wear
ing in his buttonhole the flower
which was decided upon as the
means of identification. They both
acknowledged their folly, by indulg
Ing in a hearty laugh and went homo
together, fully resolved to have
nothing .tc do with these traps It

The cost Of electric light for the
illumination of cities, as compared
with gas has been computed by
Hartford, Conn, where arc lights
have been in use for about wear.
The report states that each electric
light in use, displaces xand one
half street gas burners, besides
giving at the same time, at least ten
times as much light. The gas lamps
cost $35 per burner per annum, kept
burning 326 nights in the year,
while for the electric lights 65 cents
a night is paid. The electric light
beng equal to six -and-one- half gas
burners, ~ saving of $l5.6O per
lamp per year is effected by the use
of electricity, besides the cost Of
lighting and extinyuishing the gas
lamps.

4 Washington correspondent of the
Troy Times says the greatest whist quar-.
tette in Washington for many years was
that made up of Garfield, Frye, Randall
and Alexander ii. Stephens. The House
committee on rules, Of which they were
members, met at Long Branch in the sum
mer of 1873. They began playing there,
Frye and Stephens against Garfield and
Randall. Stephens played wonderful
game. Bolstered up with pillows in his
chair, he would sit by the hour without
becoming wearied. After the first two or
three turns he had an unfailing power OF
telling where the cards were held. He
hated to have poor partner, for 1t
disturbed his calculations, but with Frye
he was always content and serene. Frye
is q strong, impulsiye player. When win
ming his face beams like child's, but once
behind and it becomes a serious affair.
Then he is uneasy and restless until few
lucky deals put him ahead again. stephens

the former never apparently took the slight
est interest, save as bis eyes lighted up

Unreasonable Retaliation.

Senator Vance, of North Carolina, has
written very sensible report on the bill
to authorize the president to retalate
upon Germany for her exclusion Of
American pork, by excluding German
products from the United States. The
majority of the committee on foreign
affairs approved the bill, but Senator
Vance refused his assent to IL for rea-
sons which we think fully sufficient.
He says that II the pork is excluded be.
cause II IL apt to be infected with trichi-
nosis, that reason for its expulsion is
amply sufficient, and that at least is
clear. IL, on the other hand, Germany
excludes our pork to AVOID its competi.
tion with her own, We do not stand in "a
position TO deny her right To do this,
since we exclude by means OF a heavy
rate of duty all imports which interfere
with our own industries. There is no
reasonable way of avoiding the position
that Germany may do what we do. II
we can lay prohibitory tariff on wool,
she can as well prohibit pork. Ii
there are any German products
which we do not want, we can
prohibit their importation but IL will
be silly In US to deprive ourselves Of
what German products we want, be
cause Germany prohibits of ours what it
don't want. Such retaliation would be
a small business.
