In the month of June another
English polar expedition will at?
tempt to unvail the mystery of the
Arctic regions. Three vessels, one
of them fitted out in part by the
indefatigable Lady Franklin, will
constitute the fleet. They will
proceed as far as possible before
winter, and next year the party
will leave on sledges for the pole.
Perhaps it is as well that there I
should be tourists of different I
tastes.
The sure, foundation of the State |
are laid in knowledge, not in igno?
rance; and every sneer at education, |
at culture, at book-learning, which
is the recorded wisdom of the ex?
perience of mankind, is the dema-1
gogue's sneer at intelligent liberty,
inviting national degeneracy and
ruin.?George William Curtis.
A contemporary ask, "What are
street lampB for?" The man who
doesn't know what a street lamp is
for is hardly fit to sit in an editorial
chair and mould public opinion.
Street lamps are for weary young
men to recline against at mid?
night when they f?rget the way
home.
Good News.?The first trestle on
the Laurens Road, we learn from I
Col. Peoke, will bA run over to-day,
Wednesday, 7th inet., the finishing
touches being. put upon it, This
is the beginning of the end.. The

to completion.?Newberry Herald.
Baron de Waldek, a Paris artist
of considerable reputation, cele?
brated his 109th birthday recently.
He works eight'or ten hours every
day, is in perfect health, and bas a
son only twenty-four) years old.
His age is sard to be we? authenti?
cated. . . -
Machinery has reached a great
state of perfection. An exchange
remarks: "W? recently saw' some
burnt peas put into the hopper of
a coffee-mill, and in less than two
minutes they were occupying a
place in. a grocery'window labelled
'Fine old Mocha.'"
Christopher McKalan caught his
foot in the switch of the Grand
Trunk Railroad at Goodrich, Ont.,
and before he could extricate it be
was run over by the cars and
killed..
A ? letter from Port Byron,
Western Arkansas, to the St. Louis
Globe, states that the people of that
section are on the verge of starva?
tion, and:appeals fov aid to the
charitable. .
The queston of the ownership of
the Arkansas Hot Springs/ has
been in litigation over thirty years,
and the Court of Claims has just
decided that they belong to the
Government.
And now California is exulting
becaue her present Executive once
lassoed a grizzly. Many of her
citizens languish in private life who
have done the same thiug several
times. -
Contrary to ?b antecedents, the
Chicago Inler-Ocean does not at?
tribute the Mexican raids to ex
Confederate instigation. It boldly
asserts that thoy.are of simon-pure
Mexican origin.

heavy sensation, considerable loss ol

sation of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. Often
complaining of weakness, debility and
low spirits. Sometimes many of the
I above symptoms attend the disease, and
at other times, very few of them; but the
