Oue of those turned out on Saturday came back toward Hutlaud Sunday morning w here it fed in a meadow aud children fed it from their hands. There was a sad tragedy in Cambridge Suuday afternoon. Harney Gray, a "young man working for Thomas Edwards at East Cambridge, shot his brother, John Gray, with a shot-gun killiug him instautly. They were visiting with others in Edwards's baru, wlieu Barney took a fowling piece and pointed it at John, saying.

Flavius Josephus Cook was tho author, but although he has been weaving a gorgeous romance about , l'liuy, Goethe, Byron, nnd others, including the woman whom without any particular au thority he calls Fhocion's wife, he has mado no such daring flight of imagination as this St. Albans ladj Springfield JlejnilUenn. The Ekie Haiuioid, the most conspicuous v ictiin of. the wreckers of this country, was soid under the hammer last week at New York, for six millions dollars, ex-Gov. Mor gau, David A. Wells and J. L. Welsh buying it in for the stockholders. The sale was ef fected under foreclosure by the second.mort guge bondholders and was in pursuance of the Loudon scheme of reorganization. Not all, but doubtless a majority of the stockholders were in favor of this method of settling the company's affairs, aud the sale is in the inter ests of the boua-fido share und bond holders as against the speculators. It is now three j curs lacking a mouth siuco the road was put in tho hands of a receiver. Divorces ix Maine. Tho Lewiston (Me.)

Iu addition to the usual com mou law causes of divorce, including cruc)ty, intemperance, nud willful desertion, our laws give Justices of the Supreuu Court authority to decree n divorce in any case where he may be persuaded at an ex parte hearing, that ft would be 'conducive, to domestic harmony,' Ac.

If uny of ohr many readers should happen to visit FhiUdelpbin either on business or pleasure, a sojourn at the "Colonnade Hotel," ut the corner of rifteeuth nnd Chestnut, will make him about ns happy and contented ns he possibly can be twav from Baltimore. There is an amount of real comfort, as well as elegance, about all the appointments of this admirably-conducted establishment rarely met with in uu American hostelry.

On tho 28lh of Moy tho purchaso was ratified by the United States Senate, and on tho 18th of October tho country becanio a part of the United States. As it is tho latest of our ter ritorial accpiisitionn, so it is the least known. Indeed, tho interior regions of tho country away from tho Yukon river are ns unknown ns nny portion of Africa. Tho word Al-nk-shak means "The Great Laud," and correctly describes the country. It is great territorily. From Us eastern boun dary to tho island of Attou, tho cxtremo western limit, is two thousand two hundred miles in an nir line. This island of Alton, according to I'rof. Ouyot, is as far west of San Francisco as Maino is cast. Consequently between tho extreme- east aud west of tho United States, San Francisco is the iniddlo city. The coast lino of Alaska, following up and down tho bays and inlets according to the measurements of tho United States Coast Bur. vey, is about 2.",tKK) miles, or once nrouud the globe. Its total area is nliout ns large ns nil the United States east of the Mississppl river nnd north of the Carolines aud Alabama. It has tho great river of tho Vuited States. The Yukon is over 'J, WO miles long, aud nav. igable for steamers from 1,."(K) to 1,MX miles. With n varyiug width of from oue to five miles along its course, it is seventy miles across the delta of Its five mouths. There are places nloug its lower section where it widens into bays, across which one bauk can not be seen from the other, and nt a thousand tniles from its mouth, in places, it is twenty miles wide. Not ns long ns the combined' length of the Missouri aud Mississippi, it has n greater olumc of water. Larger than the Ganges of India or tho .Orinoco of South America, it is ouo of tho great rivers of the world. An Indian boy accompanying the scientific party, as he rushed forward to the bank and caught n v lew of tho grand river, threw up his bauds in astonishment, exclaiming, "It is not a rivers it is a sea!" No art of pen or pcucil can give adequate expression of its vast expanse of waters. It was first discov ered aud explored by GUsuuoff in lKW aud by Malakoff in 18:18. Fort Yukon, north of the Arctic Circle, is the most remote of the posts of the Hudson Hay Company. Hy n mistake in calculations it was founded oil the American side of the boundary line in 1817. At the time of Mr. Ball's v isit the fort con sisted of n large house of six rooms for the comuiauder, large storehouse, kitchen, four olocknouses pierced for muskets, nnd four dwelling houses. Tho employes wero mostly from the north of Scotland. They had a chaplain, Hev, Mr, McDonald. The supplies of provisions aud goods are brought across tho country, aud nre said to be two years in reaching the Yukon from Y'ork factor' on Hudson lfay. Their annual mail starts from Fort Gurney, on the Ued river north of Minnesota, about the iniddlo of December. The letters for all tho Hudson Ha Company jtosts in the Great North Laud are packed into small oblong boxes and then lashed to dog-sleds. Two men, one in advance, the other following, the sled drawn by dogs, start on their lonely journey towards the North Fole. On they plod, day after day, until crossing the north end of Lake Winnipeg, they reach Norway House. Here a side dog-mail is scut off to Fort Y'ork, a thousand miles distant on Hud son Hay. Again plunging into the w ikleracss up the Great Saskatchewan river, a mouth brings them to Fort Carletou. Here other side-mails aro bent out. On and on, aud on, through February, nud March, and April, and May, that w onderf ul mail holds its way steadily to the northwestward until, in June, the little handful of letters is carried iuto Fort Yukon. That mail-carriers curl up in the snow with their dogs, is the annual ro. mauce of the North. Alaska has the great mountain peak of tho coutineut, Mount St. Elias, l'.i,.MHI feet high. It is the great island region of the United States, containing an aggregate arm of over 31,000 square miles, equal to the sizo of bomo of our important States. Indeed the North Pacific coast is so sheltered by islands, that tho trip of 1,0Q miles from l'uget Sound to Alas ka is made by ocean bteamers in smooth wa ter ; passing through straits and channels be tween the islands and main laud. It is the great volcanic region. Stretching nloug the Alcutinn Islands for 1..MK) miles, tho Shishaldiu, the Akuten, the Maknsiu, and sixty-one other volcanoes rtar their heads, and ten of them belch out fire and ashes. It is the im-at medicinal spring reirion. that may yet become popular places of resort, for cer tainly there is no pleasanter summer trip than among the islands to Alaska. One of these springs, Uoreloi, is rejwrteu to be a Yost cat drou of surging chemical waters eighteen miles iu circumfereuce. The seal-fisheries make it n valuable is- sessiou. Then the valuable furs of tho fox, marten, mink, beaver, otter, aud other fur bearing animals make it worth having. Its fisheries are worth all it cost. The cod, sal mon, halibut, hcrriug, aud other valuable fish of commerce are there iu inexhaustible quantities. Tw o firms iu Sau Francisco took .1UO,000 worm of cod during 1S77. Utticr )iartics are arranging to establish salmon can. ncries this coming beason. Its mineral resources w ill souio day attract a large opulation and prove to the world that Alaska was no barren purchase. The greatest surprise iu connection with Alaska is the mild w inter climate of the North Pacific coast, peninsula, and islands. The great Japan current of the Pacific that gives Oregon and California their delightful wiuter climate, first strikes the shores of our North American contiueut at the western end of the Aleutian Islands, and imparts its greater heat to the Alaska coast. Cousequcntly, while iu a high northern latitude, it yet has a wanner wiuter climate than New lork city. CIU henlcr iu th Xrs York I'o.l Oilier, From Seribarr'a Monthly for Viy. Under Mr. Jauies' administration u system of genuine civil bervice has grown up. He has steudily resisted the demuuds of ltoliti- ciaus that good clerks shall bo removed on ac count o tucir lack of efficiency in ward poli ties. It is said to bo n beautiful sight to see him send for a superintendent nnd usk what kiud of a man the clerk is, in the presence of tho "statesmen" of the Assembly district who nre urging his removal. A good report" from the superintendent, aud a polito "you see. gentlemen, that it is imjiossible to remove him," euds it, except that tho want states men never tlnuk well of tlio l'ostmastcr s cf. ficiency after that. There is n notion preva lent that with every change of Postmaster n pretty clettu sweep of employes is made. Hut ouly in. removals have been made in l'ost mastcr James' five years, nud of this number M were for drunkenness. This vice nt one time made sad havoc among tho rank and file ox employes ; out ttiere is ut present an effi cient Post Office temperance bociety, and tuere nave ucen some remarkable reforma, tions. while a sentiment iu favor of temper. ance has diffused itself through all depart ments oi tne oince. w nue otners nave advo- cated it in theory, Postmaster Jauies has ex emplified civil service iu practice. Promo tions and balaries are now based partly uu leugth of service, purtly on a careful system of testiug tuo cnrrcciues or. work uoue, jmrt ly on conduct, aud partly on a periodical re examination. This examination is not a test of the clerk's knowledge of the names of the extinct volcanoes in the moon, but a trial of his expertuess iu his work. For instance, the clerks who are distributing matter iu the mail, lug department wero recently required to place correctly 2,20(1 cards, containing the names oi all tne post omces in uuio, lu a se ries of pigeon-holes labeled with tho names of the counties iu that State, Oue man succeed ed iu making tho distribution in 1' hours nnd 20 miuutes, with only 13 errors. The best man at the New York table was yet more re markable. He put the whole '.'.810 cards bearing tho mimes of tho post offices iu this state into tuetr proper counties in io.i mm utes, with but a single -error. Awhiio ago there was a competition for the vacant chief clerkship at a table, nnd the lowest man of all, by sheer excellence, took tho place. Nearly all the higher officers of tho New Y'ork t'ost utiles nave cotuo up from the ranks. .ven Mr, pearbon, tne Assistant Postmaster, rose from n clerkship lu the office and passed through the various grades in the railway pos tal service (pi wnicu ue was one oi tne origi nators) before attaining his present position t Mr, Gaylor general superintendent of the city delivery, began as n jm cleric ; Mr. rorres. ter, superintendent of the registry depart, uient. began as a $U00 clerk in the distribu, tlon department ; also Mr. Wareing, the as sistant general superintendent of the mailing department, told me frankly that ho came iu as a porter. Mr. xeoman, me superintend cnt of ttio same department, began as a stamp er on a salary of iMH) a year, and so on through tho list. All but ouo of tho 1!) super intendents of branches entered ns clerks. In short, here is civil service of the most approv ed kind In successful operation in the best conducted of nil the Government Institutions. Tho clerks nre quite hntisfied to go down if they nre beaten down. Under tho old system, a man in the Post Offico had but little chance for promotion, except by tho intrigue of some louiical clique, in giving men a chance to be bomcthlni!. aud n perpetual stimulus to their nmbitiou, Mr. .lames has undoubtedly wrought n marvelous improvement in tho ser vice. Hut ho has done bitter- than that ; for by opening n door of hope- to n man one makes him a man. Men no longer expect re moval on the cuprico of n ward committee. Tlio office offers them a career, nud they hn o every stimulus to faithfulness aud excellence. It it is found that the least efficient clerks in the office are generally those backed by tho most eminent names, whilo the poor fellows who have no hope but iu winning tho favor of their superiors by fidelity nnd excellence are altogether the most valuable. "I'ri-omll JoiiruulUm." There is much iu tlio following recent arti cle from the Loudon Week, which holds true on this side of the water : During the last three or four years n de gree of license in chronicling personal gossip has been taken which has never been oxer tiled witli impunity in this country, and will not long be tolerated now. to doubt scur rilous journals havo been know n at many for mer periods of our history, but they had nu uneasy life of it, aud their fate was not such as to tempt n. croud of imitators iuto the field. All such papers run a certain aud well marked course. At first they surprise aud amuse the public. People like to see names coupled with some disparaging allusion or auccdoto ; and the more names there are men tioned the better the paper sells. Hut at last the blows begin to rain round too freely. The laughers themselves get hit. People who have perhaps supplied the materials for "spicy articles" are staggered to find that they, too, are called up for punishment. Hut what is tbo editor to do? lie must bate the usual supply of personal paragraphs. It is not pos. sible for him to spare his friends ; all must be irrist Ilia, comes to lus mill. An Ingenious concoctor of these legends once avowed that he always fouud them better aud easier to make up out of lus own uend man to wait for the news to .dribble in. Hut this may bouietiuies be dangerous work, nnd it is as well to Lave a little grain of trutli iu tne budg et of scandal. It gives it point. If Lord A. sends a little item to-day, he is equally liable to find that his ow n indiseretious nre paraded before the public the following week. Thus tne gossip-monger can go on snooting nis ar rows into every household. The end of it is that enemies rtbc up against the paper in all directions, and tear it to pieces, and the liter ary garbage gatherer is ultimately sent adrift with his dirty stalls of offensive wares. i Ins. wo say, is the end; but in the pres ent day it takes a lorn: while sometimes to reach the end, and iu the meautime the trade grows apace. Loch new comer iu the field tries to outdo the last to jump higher aud scream louder, to drag iu more names of pri vate pcrsous, to tell nastier btones, and to de file still more the tone aud character of pri vate life. KiLiicisiNii is Old Aoe. At eighty a geu- tlemau in New York city commenced trying to walk up the stairs of the Evening Post building, aud there are eleveu flights of them, of which there are nine from the street to his office.

If some men, by oiling their joints daily for, as Matlaren bays,'they are oiled every time they are put iu motion, aud wheu they aro put iu motion only" can keep those joints from grating and creaking aud moving stiffly, even into a ripe old nge, why may not others as well 'r And which of these things which man cun,ll he wui.uo so rendiiy, cannot woman do as well ? It needs no mouey, very little time, little or no present strength. One thing only it does need, nnd that is per seerauce. One-third of the time often given to the piano will more thau buffice.

A Gke.it City is a Ci'biouk PcEmcAMEXT. Chicago is iu great straits. Tho city treas ury is empty, the supreme court forbids tho Itorrowing of money iu anticipation of the taxes uot yet eolleetid, the jiolice aud fire de partments, largely reduced for tho sako of economy, cannot be paid, and tiuless iu some way mouev can be procured In advance of the collection of this year's taxes, the munici pal machinery must btop. It was proposed recently to issue scrip bearing no interest and redeemable in 18711 when the taxes for 1878 are paid, but injunctions hat ing been brought ngainst that end tho ohce and hremeu dare not take this scrip as pay for their labor. There nre four months salaries now due the city employes, and with no mouey aud no power or authority to raise nny, the situation is decidedly interesting. The restlessness and activity of the communistic forces in the city, who would be dangerous customers with the police force disbanded, nud who would eujoy unrestricted plunder even for n few hours. renders the situation still more critical, and tho spectacle of n great city like Chicago una ble to juiy men lor the commouest aud most necessary municipal services is ccrtaluly au extraordinary one. Heitino i Cur isr Steam. A iueliug of citizens of Auburn, N. Y., was held ou the L'.".tli ult., to consider the practicability of in troducing the Holly system of steam heating, w hich has proved successful at Lockport, N. Y., tho past winter. It appears that they have in Lockport some three main pipes laid purposely (iu order to test the system finan cially) through sparsely settled streets, and that they furnished with heat during the wiu ter some seventy consumers. The result shows that the system will pay, as these sev enty consumers had been charged for warm ing their dwellings the same amount as they had paid for their cad duriug the previ ous wiuter, which amount reimbursed tho coinpauy for oxpeuses. Iu thickly nettled districts there would be lower rates for the consumer aud a profit for the company. The lob.4 of bteam by condensation is ouly from 2 to L'J per ceut on a mile of pipe when tho full capacity of the main was used. Iu the houses the steam as fast as condensed is col lected iu reservoirs, giving a supply of pure iof t water for domestic purposes. Tho use of the steam in cooking is thought to be u great improvement overJlie present methods. The cost of fitting up a hoiibo of good average size with radiators, pipes, Ac., all ready to be heated with steam, is btated at il.'l.'.. One of tho boldebt robberies lately re. corded wus committed at South Scituatenbout i o'clock Tuesday morning. Burglars enter ed the house of Ephraim Otis, n prominent man of the town, took out his safe, weighing about HXX) pounds, and carried it by the aid of a neighbor's tip-cart, about half n milo down tho road, where they rifled it of its con. tents. Tho rumbling noise made by tho bur glars iu rolling the safe across the floor was heard by the family, but, as they supposed it to be thunder, no notice was taken of it, aud the robbery was not known until fi o'clock, The amount stolen was about $32,000 in bonds, nlock certificates nud bank books. .EWH ITEMS, A tliibl rono tierforiutr. while perform ing at Catasnuqua, Pa., last Friday evening, fell SO fctt to tho grouud, n-ul was fataliy in jured.

The records of tho Department of Build ings in New York show that there are 81,000 tenement houses iu the city, out of a total of 81,IXKi buildings of nil kinds, which average four stories ill height and contain 10 families each. When all thtse buildings are full it is tstiuiatiil that the tenement house opulatiou of New York amounts to 8.".0,000.

The Superintendent of Castle Garden at New York has stated to a correspondent of n Western paper that he tan du nothing with the women immigrants. He sends men off every day for hard work ou farms at 8 a month, but the most ignorant, shiftless, and unpleasant young woman refuses the same wages for housework almost as if tho offer were a'n insult. A half.clothed,untnught girl, fresh from a turf-cabin nnd beuii-stanntiou, demands the wages of a well trained servant and thinks she is being cheated w hen less is offered. The horse "Comanche" which is the on ly survivor of the battle of the Little Big Horn iu which Cuskr met his death, was fouud ou the battle field grievously w ouudeil, two days after the fight, and as he was the charger of Captain Ktogh of tho Seventh cav alry, attempts were made to save him. He finally completely recotered, and now Gen. Sturgis orders that the horse shall never be hereafter ridden, and shall do no work, but that n special btull bhall be built for his ae. couimodatiou ; nnd that whenever the regi ment jrnrade on nu occasion of ceremony, "Comanche, "'saddled, bridled, aud draped in mourning, nud led by a mounted trooper, bliall be paraded with the regimeut.

Everybody who has been iu London kuows what a labyrinth it is, aud how difficult it is to get about, even after tolerable ncipiaiut anco with the city, without a map. It is next to impossible to direct any oue anywhere iu consequence of the irregularities of the thor oughfares, and juirticulurly of the number of streets bearing the same mime. Just think of it. There are .Ml Hiehmoud streets, (Ul Norfolk, 70 Devonshire, 7H Brunswick, .".fi Cambridge1, 8. uloucester, Ml hust-and. c-bt, '.'0 Nortli-nud-South, ICC. New, 11".) Union, V3 King, '.I'J Queen, 78 Princes, 1011 George, llfi Johu, aud dozens and scores that have uothiug to distinguish them except the dis trict iu which they hapen to be. London is probably i',(NXI years old, aud one might think that in that time, with the richness of the English tongue, each street might have a title of its own. The rector of au Episcopal Church iu Bos. ton has adopted the policy of giviug the chil dren of his flock every Easter n jiot of flowers or flower plants, with the promise of a re ward to c-Yery oue who shall tend and pre serve the same through the year.
