A CHILD IN COURT.

How Little Girl Secured the Postpone
ment of q Trial, and a GIFT.
With two little hands clinging to the
edge of the desk and her blue eyes
filled with tears as they just reached
the level of her fingers, a little girl
yesterday gazed into the plying face
of Judge Steckler in his court. Chok-
ing back her sobs, she said: please,
Mr.. Judge, mamma can not come here
to-day"
The judge inquired the reason, and
then the child's lips began to CULVER
again and the tears rolled down her
cheeks as she said: Mamma can't
come because papa died Saturday, and
she must stay home to-day"

the judge.
mo, sir" replied the little girl.
1.-The funeral may take place this AFT
ernoon."
Has your mamma any money in
the housed"
mo. sir, l don't think she has," RS
piled the child; "but some friends arc
trying to raise enough money to bury
papa"
The Judge and the lawyers were all
astonished at the simple statement at
the little child, and Immediately col
lection was taken up, at the sugges.
ton of the Court. for the bereave q
family. Judge Steckler started this
fund, and all the lawyers present con.
tributed, and in few minutes over
fifteen dollars was collected for the
child's mother. The money was placed
in the hands Of the little girl, who ran
home to tell her mother of the un-
looked for gift.
The child who was poorly but neatly
clad, had appeared in court in behalf
of her mother. who had brought a suit
to recover q sum of money due fur
work shat she had done. The child
told the Judge her mother would lii .
to have the case put down tor SOME

ance by the number of craft loading or
in motion. The canals are about
sixty feet broad. Between them and
the houses are rows of shade trees, so
that the natives have both streets and
canals to depend upon. The former are
constructed of bricks laid diagonally.
One of the best geological gardens and
aquariums in Europe is owned by the
city. A very popular excursion is to
Zaandam, formerly the home of Peter
the Great. 1t is forty-five minutes
sail up the great canal. The village is
the neatest in all Europe, and the peo-
pie most simple in their habits and
always ready to welcome strangers.
l was travelling from here to The
Hague. In the same carriage was
government official. Finding that |
was an American, though he had not
known me for an hour, he was quite
displeased to think I could not spend a
day in his city with him. The Hague
greatly resembles Amsterdam in many
respects. Here Paul Potter's famous
bull is to be seen. We found him in
an angry mood upon one side of an oak
tree stump. Rembrandts anatomical
picture commands fully as much at
tention. The gallery abounds in
works of this master. Passing on
through Dardrecht and Rotterdam,
where the houses in some streets are
SO close as to almost forbid the en-
trance of sunlight, Antwerp is reached
the same evening.
We wander about only to find that it
is another to be added to the list of
pleasant cities seen. The facilities for
shipping here are unexceled. Large
ships are enabled to go up into basins
alongside of wharves and unload by
means of immense cranes, while the
water may be raised or lowered to any
desired height by means of locks. The
cathedral is rich in specimens OF
Rubens, the most famous work of his,
The Descent from the Cross" being
here. Antwerp and Cologne have both
long claimed to be the birthplace Of
this eminent artist and neither seem
inclined to yield the honor to the other.
The walls of the gallery here are cov-
cred with his work, but can we say
from his own hands? Certain it is that
no man. however diligent, could paint
as many pieces as are accredited to the
brush of this master in a life time.
There is a delightful park in the city
and numerous fine boulevards fanked
by handsomest edifces. It is only an
hours ride from here to Brussels, but
what difference in the two cities; the
people of one Flooding quietly along,
content to take the work as it is; those
of the other pushing, striving, hurry
ing onward in pursuit of fame and
fortune. This latter city is we'll called
a second Paris. Albany IN. ~

Great Danger Confronting Explorers who

1t appears to be probable that Prof
Neumayr, of the Hamburg Marine OBJ.
servatory, will succeed in getting a
South Polar expedition organized. Il
might have been supposed that unit
some greater measure of success ha6
attended similar adventures in the
Arctic regions the most ardent advocate
of such schemes would have doubted
the wisdom Of exposing human lives an6
treasure to the risk of Antarctic seas
All the best authorities are agreed that
the difficulties to be encountered in the
south are much greater than in the
north, and the hideous stories which
gained currency after the return of the
last Arctic expedition might we'll have
sickened the boldest of this generation
sufficiently to deter them from any as.
sault upon the stronghold of King
Winter in the south. In comparing
the difficulties of Arctic and Antarctic
adventure, Sir Wyville Thompson says;
"We can only anticipate disasters,
multiplied hundredfold, should the
south pole ever become goal of rival
ry among nations" For various rea-
sons the great lone land under the
southern cross is more difficult of ac-
cess than the north. tits much colder
there than in the Arctic circle. There
seems to be no such warm currents as
are TO be found in the north-such, for
instance, as the Labrador current, OF
that round the south coast of Spitz-
bergen. Such emanations from the
torrid regions of the earth do much to
mitigate the rigors of the northern
seas at certain points, and bring about
the most striking variations of temper
allure, breaking up the ice at certain
seasons and opening the way to navi-
cation far beyond points otherwise at.
tainable. Any enterprise of this kind
will, of course, be pushed on during
the summer Notwithstanding Jan
uary, February and the early
part of March, that is. But even in
the height of summer the temperature
of the air in Antarctic regions in al
ways below the freezing point of sea
water, and bitter tempestuous winds
and fogs and binding snOwstorms are
all but incessant. No arctic explorer
has ever gone beyond the bounds Of
vegetation. AT least lichens and sea.
weed have been found wherever north.
ern navigators have penetrated, but in
the awful solitudes of the south Sir
James Ross found not the slightest
trace of vegetable life, either on the
land or in the sea, yet he never came
within less than seven hundred miles
of the south pole. The magnetic pole
has been approached within one hun
dred and fifty miles, and it seems pos.
sible that important scientific result:
might be obtained by covering thai
further distance; but even this is doubt
