An Ice Boom Ia Maine.

1.-THE people of Maine are doing
nothing now but gathering ice to
supply New York and the country
at large" said Hon. Joseph II.
Manly. the well.known Republican
postmaster at Augusta to a Mail and
Express reporter the other day at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. In answer 10
questions about the ice crop, he said |:
"a regular ice boom is in progress
and have never seen anything TO
equal the activity now going on
along the banks Of the Kenneheck
river from Augusta to Richmond. a
distance of fifteen miles. Both banks
OF the river are lighted by night by
electricity, and the work never
ceases, Some five or six thousand
men are employed day and night
cutting and housing the ice. AS there
is little or no snow the work goeSon
without delay and at small expense.
The towns and hamlets along the
river resemble Western mining
towns in the zenith of big boom.
The ice crop is simply immense -

"What will the total ice crop in
Maine amount TO this year?"
AT least Sc 10000 Actual work
is going forward on the Pen otscot
river, as well as on the Kennebec.
Indeed, the ice industry is permeat.

and cellars are being filed with con.
geaied water, whine new buildings ID
house the crop are rapidly going up.
No one thinks of politics. but the
great cry is ice. The material pros.
parity of Maine was never greater.
Last month some S3.000, 900 more
than usual was deposited in sayings
banks by 1000 people. an average of
over $500 Il head. The granite quar-
ries are being worked to their utmost
capacity, and the lumber business is
active AMI increasing rapidly. Maine
certainly nas cause to be proud of her
prosperity"

A NEW POLAR EXPEDITION.

A NEW POLAR EXPEDITION
While attention had been centred for
some time past upon tropical adven'
ture, the interest in arctic exp!ora-
ton has not died out and it is like
~ that we shall hear of a new polar
expedition this coming summer.
The Norwegians. as is natural from
their traditions as we'll az their geo.
graphical position. are the most con.
slant in their determination to solve
the mysteries of the polar seas, and a
recent letter from Christiana tells of
a lecture on the subject by DIR. Nam
sen, before the Crown Prince aud the
Norwegian Geographical Society,
that excited great enthusiasm.
DR.. NahSen is the bold explorer
who crossed the continent of Green
land about year ago. and he now
proposes a more important eXpedi-
ditiOn from the Pacific to the ATTAIN
tic Ivy way of Behring Strait. He
thinks that the Jeanette was on the
right track when she met her mis-
hap, and he finds a curious and inter
esting confirmation of this in the fact
that pair of OilSkin trousers, mark
ed with the name of one of the crew
of the Jeanette, has been found on
the Southwest coast of Greenland,
carried there by the ocean current
from the North. Other drift, evi.
IDENTIFY from Siberia and Alaska, has
been found near the same spot, show
ing, as Mr.. Nansen believes, IA con-
tinuous current past the pole and to-
ward the Greenland coast. IL other
words, he believes these trousers to
have made the voyage their wearer
hoped to make in them. and to have
actually rounded The North Pole and
made the Northwest passage.
Whether ship could pass the same
way is Il matter for experiment, but
DR.. NanSen believes that that is the
direction in which the experiment
must be made, He proposes to build
a ship with sloping sides that the ice
will not crush, and to trust it to the
current. He will enter through the
Behring Strait into the Arctic Sea.
pass Wrangel Land and sail toward
the New Siberian Islands. "Then
we must steer nOrthWard, there to be
blocked in the ice; after that the
stream would bring the expedition
to its object, and further, until we
again reacn seas free from ice"
DR.. Nansen calculates that such an
expedition. starting in June, could
be accomplished in two years. He
maintained in his lecture the great
scientific value CT polar exploration.
and when he exclaimed in cOnclus
ion. LET it be the Norwegian colors
that shall wave on the NOrh Pole"
the correspondent says the Grand
Duke ana all the learned geOe raphers
were moved to great enthusiasm. II
is a glory to which the NOrsemen
may we'll aspire and which no one
will begrudge them should they win
it. PHILADELPHIA Times.

For SWeet ChariIy's Snke.

A striking evidence of the charitableness oil
the Grand Army was shown recently by an
action of Post g. Comrade Shaw and his wife
were i'll with typhoid fever and Mrs. Shaw died.
The post had been assisting the unfortunate
comrade and his wife, and when the latter died
the funeral expenses were borne by the post,
as the couple were in straitened circumstances.
After the wife's death the post continued to as
sist the sick and bereaved comrade. and soon it
transpired that the house in which he lived and
which he had bought and had not fully paid
for was about to be taken from him. There
was mortgage on the house, which
was on the point of being foreclosed;
the payments were behind, and the taxes had
not been paid for six OF seven months. The
post appointed a committee which hustled
around, bought the mortgage, made the pay
ments, paid up the taxes, and the property
will be held for Comrade Shaw until he regains
his health and can take the mouse off the posts
hands This is but one of the many instances
of the nobility of the Grand Army. And yet
the question has been propounded by ill-mean-
ing persons, What is the Grand Army for?
