The Icy sahara Of the North.

The safe arrival of DIR. Nam en- and
his fellow explorers at Godthaab, Green
land, is cause for rejoicing, but
whether it is an event of much scientific
importance is yet to be determined.
When the little band of mountain
climbers set out on this expedition, the
plan was to traverse Greenland. the
'Sahara of the North" at its widest
part, for at least as far north as the
seventieth parallel That is the region
on the East coast visited by Holloway
and scoresby. A march across country
would have brought the explorers out on
Baffin Bay at Upernavik, or at least at
Godhaven, and such trip, of seven or
eight hundred miles, would have laid
open to the eye of science the very heart
OF the mysterious Arctic continent. In
stead, the party has appeared at God
thaab, on Davis Strait and near the
northern point of Greenland. If they
struck in at the same latitu ie on the
other side, they have merely tramped for
a couple of hundred miles across the
snow far south of the Arctic Circle, in a
country already pretty well known-an
achievement OF no especial value or
interest. On DIR. Nansen's return to
Bergen we shall know whether his expe-
dition has been merely snow-scram-
bling frolic or a conquest of the last
HntTaveled continent.-NelO York Iri-

A Romance OF the War.

A gentleman from Missouri, who is
now in Washington, tells the Baltimore
Amert an correspondent of a romantic
incident that fell under his observation
in Western Missouri during the war.
About forty miles east of Kansas City,
and near the little village of Kingsville,
in Johnson County, there lived man
named Harris, who had two daughters.
The elder of the two was called Eliza.
Those were rough times, and very few
people were permitted to live in that
part of Missouri. QuaDtrell recruited
most of his celebrated guerrilla band
from that section. One Of his men was
81 Porter, a tall, straight, athletic
young man, of quiet demeauor, but
great courage. Quantrell counted him
one of his best men. He and Eliza
Harris met and fell in love. She was
bold, determined girl, of strong
physique, and she resolved to marry
Porter and share his fortunes in the
saddle. She did so, and was sort of
daughter of the regiment to Quant-eVs
command during one entire summer of
their fighting and raiding on the Mis-
souri, and Kansas borders. She endured
all the privations and dangers of one of
the most reckless forms of guerrilla war
fare ever known, and escaped with her
husband unharmed. When the war was
over they went to California, where
Porter fell into a profitable business and
made fortune, and to-day that same
Eliza Harris aud 81 Porter are in Paris
looking after the education of their
children.
This is one of the romances of the
Quantrell command that has never been
published.

WolENursed t,hndren.

In can Account 81 Wolves Nurturing
Children in their Dens," published in
1862 by Colonel Sleeman, an experienced
officer of the Indian army, are recorded
a number of such cases as are indicated
in the title. In one instance, near Sui
taupoor, in 1S47, a wolf was seer to
leave her den, followed by three whelps
and Little boy. The boy went on all
fours, aud ran as fast as the whelps could.
He was caught with difficulty, and had
to be tied TO keep him from rushing into
holes and dens. He was alarmed when
grown-up persons came near him, and
tried to steal away. But il it was a
child, he would rush at it with a fierce
snarl, like dogs, and try to bite it.
He rejected cooked meat but seized
raw m at greedily, put it on the ground
under his hands, like dog, and ate it
with evident pleasure. He would not
let any one come near him while he was
eating, but made no OBJ ection to dog
coming aud sharing his food with him.
He died in August, 1850, and after his
death it was remembered that he had
never been known to laugh or smile. He
used signs when he wanted anything,
but very few of them except when
hungry, and then pointed to his mouth.
When his food was placed at some dis
tance from him, he would run to it on
all-fours, but at other times he would
occasionally walk upright. He stunned
human beings, and seemed to care for
nothing but eating. Science

I've seen the household dark and lone
Where once the friendly astrals shone,
And TO the haunts Of harp and hymn
There came no tone.
Oh, vanished forms of bowor and hall,
That Memory's fadeless lamps recall,
The myrtles twine around your graves,
And snowlakes fall
So near the doors Of God we live,
So near the earth, ab, who would give
A single word 10 draw tear,
Or one received
30 near the earth where graves lie wet,
8 Too near for heartache and regret;
'Tis better to forget each wrong,
And all forget.
Trust on and wait, whate'er befan,
Let Memory's lamps but love recall;
Live thou thy better self-thy wrongs,
Forget them all.
So near to earth, so near TO heaven,
Forgive them all, and be forgiven
And other hearts shall nobly strive,
Where thou hast striven.
Time tells the truth, and pleasantly
The winters change, and DER the sea
The purple swal ows singing come,
Unloosed and free.
SO happier days await thy trust;
Though othors wrong thee, YET be Just,

A Noted Chefs Coffee Recipe.

A noted French chef makes coffee by
pouring boiling water on the ground
berries; after filtering, the water is again
boiled and again poured on the coffee;
and finally third time. He does not boil
the coffee and water together, nor put
the coffee in cold water and let it come
you must pour boiling water on it and
throw it out Immediately. Then pour
one-third of the boiling water required,
put the pot over a steaminP apparatus
and then add another third, and finally
the last third, repeating the steaming, in
order to let it draw without boiling.

A yietIm Oh Ouinlne.

Marshall Sappington, police officer
IN st. Louis, has Just died IN the insane
Asylum in that city from the excessive
use, it is said, OF quinine, which de-
ranged his mind. A number Of St. Louis
physicians who were interviewed in this
connection gave il as their opinion that
a large number of people in that city are
suffering, not only from amaurosis-s
blindness caused by the excessive use Of
quinine-but also from cinohonism or
quinine deafness. One OF the physicians
said "Iwenty to forty grains, taken
within say ten hours, are sufficient to
cause amaurosis, and the regular use of
quinine in much smaller quantities daily
for few weeksls almost sure to produce
deafness, which sometimes is permanent.

There is paper house in Atlanta. No
wood, brick, iron or other material is
used about the building. At l0S Deca-

blue, has attracted considerable atten-
tion for the past week The gaudy color
is not the cause of the little building
being the object of so much attention I;

entirely of paper. The store is owned

Nothing left of flowers or buds

And 30 Is there an autumn kncttiI
To the heart. It feels alone,
Fearing its best days are past.
Sees the future overcasti
Fond acquaintance broken throus, \
Friends departed; friends untrud
Human flowers are cold and dead.
Covered by a grassy bed;
Hopes, late blossoms putting out,
Withered soon, and flung about
By cruel winds; dead doubts and fea
Finding vent in sudden tears.
Yes, there is an autumn known
To some hearts thus left alone
Yet there's this thought after all,
Ferns may fade aud leaves may fall,
Hearts may change and prove untrue,
All may look as these woods do
Though sad autumn here is given,

Gathering Elder Down.

The elder duck constitutes the wealth,
and may be said to make the prosperity
of the Icelanders. The three islands,
Yidey, Engey and Ahrey, in front OF the
harbor not far from Reykiayik, are the
favOrite haunts of tire ducks. Here they
pair and make their nests every year
about the beginning of June.
When the female has chosen the place
where she wishes to lay her eggs, she
plucks from her plumage the feathers
which she uses to line the bottom and
sides of her nest; then she generally lays
six eggs, rarely more.
During this time the drake, like the
good father of family that he is, ceases
not for moment to keep watehlul eye
ON his consoIt and fetches her back in
stantly il she gives the slightest indica-
tion of wishing TO take walk.
The next day the owner Of the land
comes and carries away at the same time
both the down and eggs.
