T2W l'OLAIl EXPEDITION.
The IXmifireros Effort to bo Tried
J Again. j
The 'effort discover the Nortli Pule
will le abandoned only when this real
or iiiaginary point is diseovtref). For
two hundred years adventurous men
have sacrificed "comfort, health, and
life itself in the question of this elu
sive ppot, only to ho met with; nisas
teand utter failure. And yt t the
fpidt of enterprise, the desire, for ex
ploriln, are not subdued. The de
termination to penetrate this unknown
place is as stubborn and persistent as if
danger aid privation and death had
not attended all former attempts.
Nothing ihrevlonss expeditions hold
out at! any prospect of success; the sur
vivors of these tther journeys are alive
to tell the horrowkg tale of the awful
desolation o that !e-ert of ice aiid
now, . but they cann-jt daiuit the
hardy and adventun usnien who still
cherish the hone of final saecess.
Two expeditions for this 'purpose
are now in me miuxt or prvparanous,

of these will start from Norway in
June under the command of i)r.
Fridtjof Nanseu, a distinguished Kor
weigan explorer. He is preparing fbt
an absence of live years. His ship will
lie so constructed that wIrmi struck by
great masses of ice its-will be foiced out
wf the water to the top of the mass. It
will be manned by n crew of eight men.
and fully equipped for the lonj jour
ney, Dr. Nausen will sail throfigh the
Strait into the Artie NOcean, aiid then
tollow! the current. He beUeves that
a current runs from the coast of Siberia
into an open polar sea. Hi -rean
fortius belief is that after the ill fated
Jeanntte wj:s abandoned oa the north
liehriikg eaar, near the mouth; of the
ri.ver Lena, articles believed toj belong
to this ship were picked up on the

WhcrQ -Gold Comes From.
The gold taken from the river bars
was mostly in the form of scale re-
senibling cucumber seeds aud of vary- I
ing size. It was mos.t plentiful on the
bd-rock and in a few inches, of soil
above it, though sometimes three or
four feet of earth would pay to wash.
Where the bed-rock was hard the min
er cleaned it, for ii shovel full of dirt
might contain a few dollars worth in
particles. Where the bed-rock was
soft slude or slate on edge the miner
picked away an inch i r so and washed
it, as frequently the scales were found
to be driven quite thickly into the cre
vices. When the ground' was very
rich the rocker was cleansed of gold
every hour or two. When work was
oyer, around the supper tire the events
ojthe day were discussed, earnings
compared, reports made, f grizisly
bears or deer being seen or killed, of
better, diggings of "coarse gold" dis
covered. This was the hour for specu
lations as to origin of gold in the riv
ers, ami a strong opinion was enter
tained by many who were not well
read that immense masses of the pre
cious metal would some day be brought
to light in the snow-capped peaks tow
ering to the east. "Coarse gold" was
a charm to the ear of the ordinary
miner. His claim might bo paying
him au ounce a day in fine gold, but
he was always interested in some re
ported diggings far away where- the
product w..s iu lumps, and not iuf re-
quently he left a pood mine to seek
some rich El Do-rado.' Tim character
istic and besetting fault of the early
miner wars unrest. He was foreYer
s-ekinp better fortune. Yet it was
this passion for prospecting that resul
ted in the discovery of gold in an in
credible short time frofn the southern
end of 8 in Joaquin Valley to the
northern limit of the Ute. Topros
peef wjis to find a spot that looked
favorable and make an examination of
it. The miner would take a pan of
earth, shake and gyrate it under water,
raising and lipping it frequently to
run the dirt and water off, then plunge
it again, and so continue until a small
residuum of black sand and gold re
mained. A spfck - of gold was the
"color," several specks were "several
colors' and the number and size de
termined the judgement of the miner
whether he should go to work or move
on. I have seen ounces taken in this
way in a single day, but in a single
pan, but in the earlier days we counted
a "bit to the pan, twelve and a
half
j cents, a fair prospect. Century
Touching Your Dog.
The easiest trick to teach a dog is
jumping. First put the learner in
to a corner, and make a bar of a stick
a cane, will answer the purpose so
that he can not get out of the corner
except by jumping over it. Do this
until he jumps over the stick without
hesitation, when you 'may gradually
raise the height of the bar any required
distance from the floor. After the
trick has b'eii learned in tho corner,
it may be tried in the. center, of the
room. L iter on vou mav make a boon
, of your arms and teach your pupil to
' jump through it, and after a while a
; real hoop. Possibly with tissue paper
. j - - - - i
! may be substituted with good result.
I Another easy trick is sitting up. As
: in the first lin k, begin in a corner,
; Place the pupil ia a sitting position, so
that his back finds support against the
some practice he can do this without
; much 'effort. Now accustom him to
sit -up without any back supiport. .
' is harder to makea dog stand ei'ect
than to do either of the tv.o treks just
described.- As before it, should begin
in the corner. If thedearner tries to

The Dignity of Labor.
By Prof. Owen II. Bishop.
People used to say it, even if they
did not think it, that there was dignity
in labor, but we have long ago outlived
even the idea of such a thing. Now
what do we mean by the dignity of
any calling? We mean that the,
pursuit of it calls forth the respect of
mankind and that it has an ennobling
effect upon ourselves and those around
us. Well then, you see at once that to
speak of labor being dignified nowa
days isclfieVgreatest piece of nonseiisp,
even in poetry ! In the early age of
the world, when the decree Ry tb
sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread
all the days of thy life" held good
everyone was forced to work or starve,
for without helps to labor in the shape
of machinery it was as mnch as could
be done by all working to supply each
with sufficient food, clothes and shel
ter, hi those times, when all had to
tvork, they considered it dignified to
labor; but now in the nineteenth cen
tury, when -all try to shirk, to labor is
thought dishonorable. It is exactly
this endeavor, by nearly everyone in
our time, to shirk, which has dishonor
ed labor, and trampled the sons of toil
into the very earth. There is a -certain
amount of work, my friends,
which must be done to carry the world
on, and what a coward ! what a despi
cabl e one is he who willingly and wil
fully casts his share of the burdn up
on the shoulders of his brother! It i
no wonder that Christianity, like the
dignity of labor, is simply a flowery
word, nothing more. No wonder at
all, indeed, when man, degraded man,
disdains God, who made the world.
"Six days shalt thou labor" because
God labored, and this is why humanity
tried, in by-gone days, to ennoble la
bor and the laborer, and succeeded up
to the time of the setting up of the
gods Aurum and Argentum (irold and
silver). All honor, we say, to those
who toil and let us ity them that are
idle and useless. Do not let us fenvy
them, and then, perhaps the time may
come when they will be ashamed to be
urones in me unman iiive. Man is
sur-dy gone astray, and nothing but
education can rescue him. Let a man
hi ever such a worth 'ess fellow, if he
only dons a fine coat our first impulse
is to respect him while the toiler, how-
o'fl" Si U' 1 1 1 t'li I Mild IVfl.t.llV if id-id in

difference and calls forth notions of
disdain. We admit that nice clothing
or anything nice, is pleasing and most
desirable, but there are innumerable
kinds of absolutely necessary work
which cannot be done in fine garments,
(a cat m mittens catches no mice,)
hy then does our first impulse move
usto despise a person iu roujrh. if sui -

expect people to ridicule men if they

I now write. v
I have seen wonderful things ViH
among the great, cities, in which 1
classify the New York World building,
the Brooklyn bridge, the Statue of
Liberty, and to your readers I will give
some mention of the neyr city hall of
Philadelphia.
The building is 4S(U feet from
north to south, 470 feet from eat tod
west, covering an area of 4 acres of
ground. Its lower is 537 feet high,
and they are now putting a bronze
statue of Penn oa its tojp, which will
make it 110 feet higher.); The ba) of
the tower is 00 feet. The centre of
the clock's face is 301 feet from the
ground, and the face "in 20 feet in
diameter. The hall has! 520 rooms, all
"built of beautiful marble, mixed with
polished granite. The1 building has
already cost $14,000,000, and the cost
is still going on.

i , The Way of thn Speculator.
Like the way of all transgressors,! he
way of the speculator w hard; Only a
siiort time ago the most interesting
Agure connected with the Chicago
Hoard of trade was Ii. 1 Huchlnson,
ctunmonly called fcOld Hutch." He
W:is a great speculator, having monev.
nierve and original ideas. VVheii tiie
gjeneral impression was that wheat was
gingdown, "Hutch" bought wheat
ahd forced it up. W hen all indications
seemed to point to an advance in wheat,
"Ilutcir'sold wheat and kept it dowji.
VV heat speculation is carried on in thin
way. "Hutch" believes that it is go
iipg up. another speculator that is iago
irtgdmvn. "Hutch" offers $1.00 for
wjheat to be delived to him thirty days
days hener. When this contract
nkade he turns to another speculator and
offers $1.01, $1.02, etc., gradually pi-.sh-itig
the price up for future, delivery.
Then he sends his agents or broker out
t buy all the wheat they can ge.
When tire thirty days' time is up,- I ho
nien who have agreed to deliver Uta
wheat cannot get hold of it, it is all
controlled by the u01d Hutch' Wheat
ia high and the men who have agreed
to deliver it are forced to settle, pnying
him the difference between the market
pjiee and the price they had agreed to
pay for it thirty days before. A
Ijjhttchison was shrewd and boid, an 1
ill this way he niade a great deal of
naoney. He Jiad not confined his deal
ings to grain but bought .and sold
nlieatr and other products. Ha had
made so much money that the peoplu
began to look upon him as a great
power, --having some secret knowledge
of prices. To say that he was selling
wheat was sufiicieiit to put tho prices
down or that he was iiuy ihg it to put
it up. Uiily a year or two ago he
made a great corner in wheat Ilia,
result was bankruptcy ot one firm and
of one or two banks, and he was left"
absolute dictator of the market, dt is
said that ''Hutch" was at one time
Wth 510,000,000, -but these., figures
an? not by any -means to be accepted ni
trustworthy. hen a mail begins to
iiiake money and spend a little of it,
his wealth, in -popular imagination,
grows to iinihenst proportions. At
any rate, "Hutjchwas worth million
and that was only a few months
ago.
Oa Wednesday, April 29th, Hutch
inson dal not appear at the Hoard
Trade. He could not be found at lm
usual haunts nor at his office. His
family did not knoy,what had liecoinvj
of him. IVIen to whom he had sold
wheat-failed to find him. He w;is un
able to deliver the wheat he had soUL
Prices were going tip every day, and
Hutchison lost tlijjousands of dollars
every hour. Only a few, months ago
he was king of the "grain market; tu
day he is a wanderer, his prestige is gone,
his opinions are worthless, and nono
are so good as to do him honor, and on
Chauge his word, his note or tiisboi.d
is worthless. I
Fortunes made a Ihitchinson rintle
his, soon disappear. Horace Greely
says, "Fame is a vapor, riches tak
iwings." Riches made as Hutehimso.i
jruade his, as Daine Drew made his, a
Jay Cooke and Ivesi made theirs, brin
little comfort and nothing except vex
ation of spirit, and in a tittle while
are gone.
