\ THE SORTH POLE. •Mmgh of Arctic JKxploratlou. [From tha Chicago Times.] The recent return of the steamers .Jdeii and Discovery from a fruitless fluiHtuun to th« froz-en region about the Jforth pole seems to call to mind how aauoit treasure has been squandered,how arooh suffering has been endured, and fcow many lives have been lost in tne fain attempt to penetrate an oo9an which nature ekwed by impassable barriers. Scarcely had Columbus published his •ooount of the discovery of this oonti- Aent before John Cabot set about flnd- k-ig >* way of reaching India by sailing aorth of the newly found continent. His first voyage in thSs direction was made in 1#97, and was attended by severe kardshipe. During the following 200 years *tome 200 voyages were made by different navigators to the same frozen lea. Great Britain took the lead of the commercial nations in undertaking to find a northwest passage to the Piscific Ocean. A reward of £6,000 was offered to the fortunate individual, who would •ail Iroxa sea to sea„ Some thirty expe­ ditions have been fitted out by Great Britein alone for the purpose of discov­ ering a northwest passage. The same jiataon sought to encourage exploration ,'jby oonfernng titles and distmctions on Che men who hMsarded their lives in the perilous undertaking. Parry. Franklin, Ross, Bock and Richardson were all knighted for the services they were sup­ posed to render their country by the ex­ plorations they made in the regions •bout which we know so little, but of which we know quite enough, after all." The expedition which attracted the most attention was the one commanded by Sir John Franklin. The two vessels, the Erebus and Terror, which conveyed his party, left England May 24, 1845, but never returned. The loss of -the brave men who constituted this parly seemed to stimulate rather than to dis­ courage the spirit of adventure. There were now two things instead of oue to find--the lost party and the pass­ age they were to discover. Twenty- one expeditions in all sailed from different countries for the pur­ pose of obtaining information in regard to the fate of Sir John Frank­ lin. Great Britain offered rewards amounting to $20,000 for his discovery, and expended $6,000,000 in the various expeditions sent out. A spirit of rivalry sprang up among the different nations to see which would penetrate the vast frozen sea the greater distance. This spirit was shared by the people of the United States, as was shown by the ex­ peditions of Kane, Hayes, and others. These expeditions resulted in little else than in demonstrating that there is no passage available for the purpose of navigation, and in obtaining some evi­ dence that there exists an open sea about tiie North pole. The expedition just re­ turned to England found the best proof against the existence of such a sea. The party which composed it found ice vary­ ing from 80 to 150 feet in thickness, and so broken and rugged that a progress of only a mile per day could be made over j(b. It is to be hoped that the day for Arctic expeditions has passed. It is not possible that any benefits to commerce Can result from them, and it is very hard to see in what way science is to be ben­ efited by future Arctic voyages. IJad {fre money that has been spent in fruit­ less expeditions in the direction oi the Iforth pole been employed in stimulating discoveries in practical science, the world yiight have been better and wiser there­ for. Half the people in this country rely on soft coal for fuel, but we have not found out how to burn it without having the best portions of it pass into the air in the shape of soot or uncon- sumed gas. Botanists inform us that no use has been found for thirty-nine- fortieths of the plants now known to them. We aue in comparative ignorance to-day of the science of making steel, and still our civilization largely depends on its manufacture. With so many things to find out, any one of which would be of immense value to the world, we may as well remain awhile in igno­ rance of some matters pertaining to the polar sea._ A Wonderful Surgical Experiment. , English surgical and physiological students will find in the Gazette des , Hopiteaux interesting details of an op­ eration of gastrotomy, attended so far with successful results, which has been performed at the Hopital de la Pitie, by ^r. VerueuiL The patient, a lad of 17, had inadvertently swallowed a quantity of the solution of caustic potass. This occurred in February, and, in spite of the most skillful treatment, the con­ striction at the upper orifice of the ®so- phagus became so complete that death from inanition must inevitably have en­ sued without an operation, which was accordingly performed on the 26th of July. The results will be seen from the medi­ cal bulletin of the 10th of September, which states that the patient is in good health, remains up all day, and even helps the hospital assistants in their work; he has almost as much strength and energy as he had before the acci­ dent. His diet is composed of soups, fine chopped meat, mashed vegetables, and drink, which are injected through a large elastic tube inserted in the incision made in the stomach. Under this treat­ ment he gained upward of ten pounds in weight between the 18th of August and the 14th of September. At the moment of the injection of food a flow of saliva in the mouth is pro­ duced, in the ejection of which a motion curiously resembling the action of chew­ ing is remarked; he can distinguish be­ tween warm and cold substances, but otherwise all are indiiferent to him. It is stated this is the first time the operation has been successfully performed; the last time it was attempted, but unsuc­ cessfully, was in 1849, by M. Sedillot, Professor of the Faculty of Medicine of Strasburg.--Paris^Cor. London Stand­ ard. Queen Victoria and the Emperor of Ger­ many. I have heard, from a source which I have reason to trust, that the rumor that Queen Victoria had sent MI autograph letter to the Emperor of Germany is true. The letter contained an earnest and solemn appeal to thp Em­ peror to use his power and influence to save Europe from the calamity of war. from the same souroe I have heard that a very remarkable reply has been re­ ceived by Her Majesty, one not likely to be laid before the English public. In it she is reminded that a few years ago, when Germany was attacked and had to enter upon deadly strife, no such im­ pressive appeal for peace o&iue from Her Majesty, «^d that the "war was then pro­ longed by the continual supply of strength to France from England--just enough to prolong bloodshed after the hope of successful resistance was passed. However, the Emperor says--if my in­ formation be correct--he will not on that account fail to do his utmost to preserve the peace of Enrope.--Conway. in the CtnoinmUi Commercial. A COLORiDO HE BOIHE. ' Aa Affecting Story of Frontier Lift Mrs. Oatrom's Moarnftil Bivouac In the Roefcy Mountains. [From the New York Wotrld.] On Friday night of last week, In one of the small parks of Colorado, lying among the mountains on the North Platte, there was a curious scene. There in a place fifteen miles away from the nearest neighbor sat a woman, surround­ ed by her family of seven children, and watching the dead body of her husband. A large fire which she and her oldest boyf n lad of 14, had built, threw a (?h»stly glare over the lonely landscape. The broad sky above, and the huge hills around made more intense the sense of desolation and the littleness of humani­ ty^ and the murmur of the stream near by and the bark of the fox in the dis­ tance were the only utterances of soli­ tude to grief. This woman's story, as told in the Denver Tribune, is one of the most affecting in the strange annals of American pioneer adventure. Her husband, W. H. Ostrom, had come to Colorado from Alabama, and, on aooount of^ the depredations of the grasshoppers had not been very prosperous. He had prepared a new home for his family in a park on the North Platte, and set out that, morning |om Pine (Gsove gulch for the journey of twenty miles, in a Western wagon drawn by a team of mules, and loaded with his household and his household goods. Toward even­ ing, as he was crossing a small stream at a rough part of the road, one of the mules shied, and the wagon was over­ turned. It is probable that Ostrom was walking beside it, and flung himself in the way to try and save his wife and children. They were thrown vio­ lently out and he was caught un­ der the overturned wagon and borne to the ground with the cross-bar of the wagon-bed across him and a weight of 1,500 pounds crushing him. His terri­ fied wife found him lying in this way, cool and oonsiderate, but very pale. He directed her in her vain efforts to pry the wagon over, and died within five minutes, even while assuring her that he was not dangerously hurt. The old­ est boy was on foot, driving a cow, and came up only in time to join his mother in her attempts to release his father's dead body. With true pioneer readi­ ness and sternness the team was un­ hitched and put to drag off the wagon, the corpse was rolled in a sheet, a fire was built, the mules were corralled, and the widow and orphans sat down in their dismal bivouac. Even when deatii comes by slow approaches and with fair warning, where the care of anxious friends and the comforts of civ­ ilized life mitigate suffering, the loss of a husband and father is a calamity that evokes our sympathy for the afflicted. It is a grief that no oondolences can soften, no wealth alleviate, no compan­ ionship render endurable. It would be useless, therefore, to dwell upon the terroro of death when it struck down the head of a family unexpectedly and violently in a Colorado wilderness, leav­ ing a woman and children desolate, with darkness and Ihe desert about them. We think a picture of this night-watch of Mrs. Ostrom would be as characteris­ tic of a great phase of American life as any scene that the imagination could conceive of. In her bitter experience, giving us a glimpse of the sufferings of the women of the Western frontier, we have something to suggest the trials and labors of all that hardy generation which puaheu slowly on from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, before whom the wilder­ ness receded like the horizon. It is the fault of our time to underrate the rough virtues of the pioneers, and forget the value ol their achievements. We are losing sight of the romantic and heroic aspects of their life, in the refinements and luxuries of our own. Her story should bring back old memories to those in the heart of. civilization, and teach them what they cost. It was not by enchantment that the log cabin was changed to the brown-stone mansion, the homespun dresses to silk, the emi­ grant wagons to family carriages. The metamorphosis was rapid, but it was the result of the sacrifice and < endeavor of ages heaped into a few years. The Col­ orado woman, sitting all night in her mournful bivouac, with her seven chil­ dren around and the corpse of her hus­ band just outside of the glare of the fire, stiffening in the frost--this penni- ess widow a rousing herself in the morning, taking the dead body on the wagon and retracing her steps toward civilization, is as distinct a type of American womanhood as the gayest lady that attends church in New York to-day. They have different missions; but neither of them should forget that they are sis­ ters.--iV. Y. World. CHARLES LANGHKIMKR, aged 74, has been held to bail at Philadelphia for stealing an overcoat. He is known as Dickens' Dutchman, having been sin­ gled out by the great novelist, during the visit of the latter to this country in 1842, as an example of the terrible ef­ fects of the Pennsylvania "silent sys­ tem " of punishment. In his "American Notes" Dickens devotes nearly half a page to this man.

I An Indian correspondent writes to J Nature: "There |B a popular belief < that it is dangerous to sleep in full moon- ! shine, as It is supposed to produce some ! injurious effect caUd moonstroke, A j clear sky admits of apid radiation, and any person exposed ?p such radiation is sure to be chilled by rapid lews of heat. There is reason to believe that under the circumstances pf«alysis of one side of the face is likely to occur from chill, as one side of the fa*@ is more likely to be expas^d to rapid mdiation and con­ sequent loss of its baat. The chill is more likely to occur when the sky is perfectly clear and in a full mooa. 1 have often slept in the open air in Tnfli* on a clear summer niglt when there was no moon, and, although the first part of the night may have beta hot, yet toward 2 or 3 o'clock in the miming the chill has been so great that 1 have often been awakened by an aehe ia the forohedfi, which I have as often counteracted by wrapping a handkerchief around my head and drawing the blanket over my face. As the chill is likely to be greatest on a very clear night, »ud the clearest nights are likely to be those on which there is a bright moonshine, it is very possible that neuralgia, paralysis, or some other similar injury, caused by sleeping in the open air, has been at­ tributed to the moon, vben the proxi­ mate cause may really lave been the chill." ' The Minnesota Liqier Law. < The Supreme Court of Vfinnesota has affirmed the constitutionality of that very excellent and wholesome law, passed in 1878, requiring each liquor-dealer in the State io pay $10 annually for the establishment and maintenance*of a State Asylum for Inebriates. Grounds for the asylum were long since located at the charming city of Rochester, and this de­ cision of the Supreme Court removes the last remaining obstacle to the early erec­ tion of the necessary buildings.

Scribier's Monthly, IN UJTBIVALED ILLUSTRATED XLTTUIKI. When SCMBNKB issued its famous Midsum­ mer Holiday Number in July, a friendly critic said of it: "We are not sure but that Scribner has touched high-water mark. We do not see what inorlds are left to it to conquer." But the publishers do not consider that they have reached the ultima thule of excellence--they believe "there are other worlds tooonqawr, aud they propose to conquer them." The prospectus for the new volume gives the titles of more than fifty papen (mortly illus­ trated), by writers of the highest merit. Under the head of " FOEMOK mm," we have " A Winter on the Mile," by Geo. Mtv- Clellan ; "Saunterings About Constantinople," by Charles Dudley Warner; "Out of My Win­ dow at Moscow," by Eugene Schuyler; "Aa American in TurkiBtan," etc. Three serial sto­ ries are announced: •'NICHOLAS MINTUBH," by Dr. Holland, the Editor, whose story of " Sevenoaks " gave the highest satisfaction to the readers of the Monthly. The scene of this latest novel ia laid sMh* banks of the Hudson. The hero is a young man who has been always " tied to a woman's apron strings," but who, by the death ot his mother, is left alone in the world--to drift on the current of life--with a fortune, but without a purpose. Another serial, "Hia Inheritance," by Miss Trafton, will begin on the completion of "That Law o' Lowrie's," by Mrs. Hodgson Burnett. Mrs. Burnett's story, ,»#ogun in August, hw a pathos and dramatic power which have beop a surprise to the public. There is to be a series of original and exquis­ itely illustrated papers of " Popular Science," by Mrs. Herrick, each paper complete in itself. There are to be, from various pens, papers on "BOMB LIFE AND TBAVEL." practical suggestions as to town and coun­ try life, village improvements, etc., by w«ll- known specialists. Mr. Barnard's articles on various industries of Groat Britain include the history of "Same Experiments in Co-operation," "A Scottish Ljoaf Factory*' in the November number, and •'Toad Lane, Rochdale," in December. Other papers are, •'The British Worklngman's Home,* • ANation of Shopkeepers," "Ha'penny a Week for the Child,"' etc. A richly illustrated series will be given on '• American Bports by Flood and Field," by various writers, and each on a different theme. Tho subject of "HOUSEHOLD AND HOMX DRCOBATIOH" will have a prominent place, while the latest productions of American humorists will appear from month to month. The list of shorter eto- riee, biographical and other sketches, eti, is a long one. The editorial department vfll eotAiims to employ the ablest pens both at home and abroad. There will be a series of letters on literary matters, from London, by Mr. Welford. The pages of the magazine will be opon, as heretofore, so far as limited spaoe will permit, to the discussion of all themes affecting the social and religious life of the world, and spe­ cially to the freshest thought of the Christian thinkers and scholars of this country. The pablishers say they mean to make the magazine sweeter and purer, higher and nobler, more genial and generous in all its utterances and influenoes, and a more welcome visitor than ever before in homes of refinement and culture.
