the courage Of a thinking being. But when
We see an enlightened man, + lily able to es-
innate the dangers that lie before him, VEN
ture boldly out 10 accomplish some task that
he considers to have been laid upon him, in
the cause Of humanity, whether it be of reli-
gion or Of science, our admiration rises to the
highest pitch. Missionaries like Williams
and Livingstone. adventurous explorers like
Franklin and Stanley are lmm0rtalised by
their deeds, which are forever preserved in the
memory Of mankind. just now Europe has
before its eyes a spectacle Of daring, which
has perhaps never been surpassed, we mean
DIR. Nansen's Arctic expedition. Or. hansen
has come TO the conclusion that the great
sheet Of ice, which, SO far Is we have yet been
able to learn, covers the north polar regions,
is in continual, though slow, motion, ..and
that in particular there ID a great current Of
water from the neighbourhood Of the New
Siberia Islands across the Polar sea to the
east coast of Greenland, by which our
rent the great ice sheet is being continually
shifted foI ward in the same direction. The
evidence f. om which he has arrived at this
conclusion is extremely curious and interest
ing; for example he says hat drift wood 10
continually passing down the east coast of
Greenland that could only have come from
the Siberian shore, and again re has submit
ted some specimens of mud found on the ice
of the Greenland coest 10 the examination Of
q bacteriolugjst, who tells him that il contains
bacteria which are peculiar to the north
coast IF Siberia, that S tosay, they have not
hitherto been icur. .nyWLeIe else. Basing
his proceedings on this theory of the drifting
Of the ice as described, DR.. Nansen has built a
steamer the FRAN Of extraordinary strength
and with her bottom fol med in such a way
that he hopes the ice, when it squeezes her,
will lift her right on to its surface. In that
DoSition he expects to remain fer three or fonr
wears. gradually drifting along with the ice,
and then h. expects to be dropped irto the
sea Ivy the melting of The ice of the coast OF
Greenland. whence he will make his way to
the nearest inhabited place. English Arctic
explorers have pndedvoured to dlSsuade Or.
Nansen from entering on this undertaking.
T. py have told him that the ice may crush
his steamer in spite Of its immense strength,
thst he may be stranded on possible islands
in the Polar sea, and that he will scarcely be
able 10 keep his party III health and spirits
during so long asOiourn in those inhospitable
repiops. rome Of these things have moved
him and the brave man is actually OH his way.

Journey. His last letter to the Times is most

Nansen come safely through. as we must all
hope he will, he will bring with hlm q large

Civil service reform as q matter
Of practical interest has not had Of
late tho promine:4ce which it enjoy ed
. decade ago. 1t has been recalled
to public attention by the publication
Of the ninth annual report Of the Civil
Service Commission. Tho report
urges that the classified service should
be extended as rapidly as practicable
to cover every Office in the public
service to which it can appropriately
be applied, a., for instance, to clerks
and writers 10 navy yards; to almost
the entire body of officials in the Dis
trict of Columbia; to the internal
revenue service, and to custom houses
with twenty-five employs, and that
fourth.class post lie taken out
Of politics. The striking fact i.
brought out by the report that the
percentage of the growth OF the public
service in ten years has been nearly
double that Of population, and that
the service classified for examination
under the civil service rules has rov n
even faster in the same space Of time.
In 1883 only little more than tenth
OF the public service was removed
from party politics, while more than
fifth is 40 removed at present. The
whole number of places under the
rules now is neavly $4,000.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS BEFORE.

Henry Goebrl the Original Inventor OF
the Incandescent Electric Lamp.
San Francisco POST
Henry GoebeI, whose chances of
being judicially decided to be the FIRST
inventor Of tho incandescent electric
lamp, have been greatly advanced by
Judge HalIett's recent decision in
the case of Edison Company VS.. the
the Columbia Incandescent Company
Ct St. Louis, is fine type of the wel.>
preserved German who has reached a
green old age with physical vigor and
intellect. but little impaired by accu>
mulatinR years.
Mr.. Goebel came 10 this country
about 1850 and . few years later be.
gan to make electric lamps 10 his
shop in Monroe street on, of old bot.
ties, in which he used filament Gu,
from bamboo fishpole and carbon.
lied in a ccokstove. AS the years
PaSseo, MS constant experimenting
resulted in the manufacture OF some
really excellent lamps, according to
the testimony OF many witnesses
Some of these lamps were used to
attract customers for q big telescope
which he took about tho city on
wheels. Others he used occasionally
to work by and another gave the light
for his daughters sewing machine
Tho lamp was not como, erc,ally intro
duced 70: the same reason that cleo.
trio motors were not generally intro
duced at that slme-nsmely there was
no cheap source of electricity. As ap.
pears by Judge Hsllett's decision, he
believes Goehel to have been twentv>

invention.

Governor Stevenson went to Wash.
ingson 10 secure the appointment Of
Charles Himrod, of this city, for as
sayer; and they think it little strange
If he did not enter bis protest against
the appointment Of Church, whom
MI. Stevenson had told him he could
not support.
The young Democrats say Mr.. Ste.
venson told . number of candidates
he had sufficient influence with the
President to secure the appointment
Of any men no chose to fill the federal
Offices in Idaho. Ia support of this
assertion they tell q very interesting
story. 1t is substantially a. follows:
Every one knows the ex-governor
is q strong man in Boise county. The
delegation from that county stayed
with him to the last in tho State CON-
vention, an exempli6ca,ion of his
phenomenal control over the Demo-
orats Of that county. 1t 10 also we'll
known fact that Mr.. Church is a very
popular man 10 Boise county. Now,
Mr.. Stevenson had pledged himself to
support Mr.. Himrod, aud, Learning
that Mr.. Church was in the field, he
thought he had better interview the
latter and fix things 81 he could main
tain the prestige he had gained in
Boise county.
Accordingly, he went 10 see Mr.
Church, and something like the fol.
lowing was said:
SNOW, Nj. Church, am very sorry,
indeed, that l cannot secure this ap>
pointment for you. You see, am
pledged to support Mr.. H,mrod and
will be in honor bound to give him
the position. OF course, recogniz.
you are . good Democrat and would
make q splendid official. but l will
have to let Mr.. Himrod take this
office. Say, can't you withdraw your
name? Oh it, Church, I'll give
you something else. Think it over
and let me know"
But Church did not withdraw. His
claims were pressed by Mr.. Besns,
assisted by host of other Democrats
here, h. AIDED by J. H. Hawley.
As Cleveland has closed the door.
Of tho White House to Office seeker,
Mr.. Stevenson will probably return
home at once. The staten that he
is after the United States marshalshir
is denied by his friends here.
A prominent Democrat said yes,
terday what Messrs Tillipghast snd
Beane now want is to create vacanciei
in this State. If Mr.. Stevenson car
block anything, he said. it will be &c
prevent this being done; in othe,
words. 10 keep Republicans in Office
II is but fair to state that all tn.
Democrats who were seen yesterda,
were unanimous in ono statement
and that was that Mr.. Church is .
splendid man for the position of as

Don't Lick Stamps aud Envelopes.

1t is no new thing that stamps and
envelopes should be blamed as cause
for numerous petty illnesses which
occur to those who constantly use
them. The connection between q
habit Of licking tho gummed surface
and an irritated tongue is not entirely
imaginary. The mere contact Of the
mucous membrane With an adhesive
substance, il often repeated. must en-
courage abrasion OF the former. An
other element of danger exists in the
well-known impurity of Office gum.
1t is usually as easy as It is advisable
to avoid licking stamps, and it is
never safe to apply them to . wound.
