AM EngtiNlimiut'ti Idea -- A H«stc4 ©»r, Supported by Three Balloon*. [From tlio London Teleirrnph.] When, some time ago, the Alert and Discovery left England, the crowds which bade the crews good-by gave them a hearty cheer and wished them godspeed. There were those who hoped they would achieve success, and possibly plant the Union Jack on the North pole. But less excitable and more thoughtful j mfen, who knew what Arctic navigation I meant, and what dangers and difficulties j had to be overcome, were less sanguine. The doubters were right, .for, from some reason or other, the splendid sailors who went north never came within 600 miles of the magic point; but, overcome by like a private gentleman's house. Why, sir, in mv country that hotel would have been a great white, staring, modern palace, with smoking and flirting and cocktail-making and howling going on that would drive you mad!

A resident of Fremont, who lived near the Benders, recognizes the old man.

It has power­ ful medicinal qualities, and milk is well known to be a specific for many poisons. The manner of administering the anti­ dote will be learned by a perusal of the following history of this simple and wonderful cure : In Chester county, Pa., lived a Ger­ man named Joseph Emery, who used to be sent for far and wide, when any one had been bitten by a rabid animal. He who attend school are among the best scholars. One of his wives says all she wants to live for is to keep her daugh­ ters out of polygamy.

When school commenced not one of the children could repeat the Lord's prayer, much less the ten command­ ments. The " Old, old story " is new to them. I asked my Sunday-school class of large boys the meaning of " hallowed," as used in the Lord's prayer. They all thought it meant swearing. When I re­ membered they never heard the name in any other way it did not seem so strange.

The whole train passed over him. John was found some time after­ ward by a track-walker. He was sitting on a log by the side of the railroad. A few rags that hung here and there about his person was all the clothing that was left on him. His skull was crushed iu over the right eye. His face was badly crashetl. From his throat to his knees his body looked as if a jackplane, set deep, had been passed over it. The four lingers of his left hand were gone. away heavily laden.
