A minister who kept race horses and had at his command a good store of very blunt vernacular, who could not be got to admit that he understood an abstract thought. who always knew what he wanted and was determined tt carry it out regardless of the opinions of others. who conceived his own ideas to be superior to those of other people, who never looked farther than tomorrow and much preferred ret to think beyond this evening, but who at the same time was determined to establish the privi- lege of an Englishman to the sidewalk all over the world, while men of other nations might step into the gutter this minister represented aspirations which had long ago siekened under the rounded periods intended to convince humanity that bread and calico summed up their total requirements and were more sufficient for rational happiness. This was the popular conception of Palmerstan when, in 1855, he became first minister of the crown. =" Yoke of Empire, by R. B. Brett

 4 letter received recently at Port Townshend. Wash, by the last steamer from Alaska gives full particulars of the terrible death of three men, Black. stone, Bottoher and Mollique. who were frozen while endeavoring to carry mail from Sunrise City across the glacier to Prince William sound.
 The letter was written by Charles Wllleughby to his mother. Willoughby left Port Townshend IS months ago and has since been in the neighborhood o5 SEarise City. He wasa member of the searching party which found the bodies of the dead mail carriers He found Blackstone dead on the beach, lying io blankets and frozen to death with halg the carcass of his dog, the unfortunate fellow having eaten part of bis faithful companion before he sueeumbed to the intense cold. His remains were inferred on the beach.
 The bodies of Rotteher and Mollique were found some distance away on the top of the glacier. where both had per ished from the cold. Their remains were 60 have been buried by the second party. which went out with directions ss to where tho bodies could be found.
 The party left Sunrise City with the Dail March 2. The frozen bodies were found six weeks later.
 The letter further says that the 9aA winter was not as severe as was goner ally supposed, the coldest weather being one night in February, when for fout hours the mercury dropped to 19 de, grees below zero.
 Of 46 horses taken to the Cook inlsK country last season for use in pack trains only four survived the winteg. There is good money in operating paek trains there, and last seasons tria demonstrated the fact that horses can nos endure the climate The owners will ship large number of mules north next season to take the places of the horses, but as it is generally conceded siiss E . sssi as a negroes flourish best i5 warm countries the latter experiment is being watched with interest.

She Misunderstood.

Many singers fail to realize the im- portanee of distinct enunciation, and the charm of beautiful voice is often lost by the listener who is vainly strug- gling to catch the meaning of the song. A young woman who considers her self an admirable ballad singer one day received a severe shock from the crit icism of an old lady who had formed one of her audience. Among other bal lads tho singer had rendered Rory O'More" in her best style and had re- ceiyed much applause.
 The old lady, who sat in the front seat in the little hall where the enter tainment was given, looked at first pug zled and then distressed as the familiar song proceeded, and at the close of the concert she waited to speak Co the young woman.
 My dear, " she said in quivering voice. II remember when Rory O'More' first came out I have never been singer myself, but have always been interested ill music, and am sure I never heard the words as you sang them tonight. am not deaf. My hear ing is unusually good. but will you tell me where you get your authority for singing:
 He poultieed the hook,
 And she salted 1t down9 For, though cannot remember the original words. am sure they were not like that ''
 The young woman's face was crim- son as she showed the old lady her copy of the song and pointed to the words:
 He bold as tho hawk
 And ahe soft As the dawn.
