Ballooning to the Pole.

The new English scheme of Aretie explor- ation derives its interest from its proposed use ‘fa new appliance—to a steamer and sledges it adds balloons.

‘The pessibility of aerial navigation in the polar seas have beea discussed for years ; but only sinee the disheartening reports brought by the expeditions of Lieut. Weyprechet and Capt. Nares of the impenetrable ice barriers that blocked their way has ballooning been raised from the status of a possible appliance of prime importance,

Even now many of the people who favor Commauder Cheyne’s expedition, which pro- poses to leave Mugland in the .avy storeship Diseovery next Sune, provided the money for preparation, $150,060, can be raised, do uot pin their faith chiefly upon balloons. In the meeting recently held at the Mansion House, London, to forward the scheme, Capt. Bed- ferd Pim limited his belief in balloons to their manifest uses in spying the condition of the ice around and ahead. and thought it was idle to trust to anything but the sledge for reach- ing the Pole.

co Mr. A. H. Beesly, who for twenty years

-| has taken an interest in polar exploration, and

who, should a well-judged expedition be sent out, will contribute to its funds, suggests to the London 7'imes these doubts about the use of balloons :

The use of balloons is, it is stated, to be one of the main features of the new expedi- tion. I should like to know what the weight of one of these halioons uninfiated would be, The first requisite for sledge travelling is that the sledye shall carry the maximum of feod With the minimum of luggage for man and dog. Would not the carriage of a balloon be practically impossible? Again, supposing the balloon to have reached the North Pole with a favorable wind, how will its occupants get back again? How, unless the wind veers just how and when they want it, will they sup- port life when out of the balloon ?

Nevertheless, it is undeniable that much of the enthusiasm for the new project in Lng Jand and Canada—and the earnest support given it in the latter country has caused it to be called the British-Canadian Arctic Expedi- tion—is direetly due to the hope that in some way, Smaller or greater, bailoons will add that new mechanical element of suecess with- out which there is really very little ground for assuming, that new voyagers will push much farther than the brave and persistent men who have preceded them.

Commander Cheyne, whe, by the way, is net only an officer of the royal navy, but a veteran of three Arctic expeditions, is down- right in his reliance on balloons. It is true that he has also other sources of hope. For example, he says that the last British Expe- dition came back broken down with seurvy, not for want of lime juice, but of sufficient ventilation between decks and sufficient exer- cise ; and this he hopes to change for the bet ter. But his main reliance is evidently in the employment of balioons, and this was the plan that-{he laid before the Mansioa House meeting.

He proposed to use balloons first for ascer- tainipg which of two channels was most open, and fiaaliy for reaching the Pole. With three large balloons, lifting over a ton each, the start would be made from near the ship upon the curve cf a roughly ascertain ed wind circle, this being obtained by meteorolegical observations taken at three points, namely, atthe ship and at stations twenty miles on each side having telegraphic communication. Should the wind curve deflect before ‘arrival at the Pole, then, by manipulation of the cas between the balloons and the condenser tank, they could choose the requisite altitade for a continued favorable air current. The Pole would probably be reached in about tiirty or forty hours’ time, hills being sur- mouvted by reacting with the gas. After taking the necessary observations he proposed to wait for a favorable wind, drop en the same parallel of latitudeas the ship, and thea reach it by sledge.

So itis clear that Commander Cheyne pro- poses to take with his balloons a complete out- fit not only of men, but ef dogs, sledges aud provisions for man and beast, besides his scientific instruments. He would need, then, balloons strong and larye ehough te lift very heavy weights. The general opinien ef his supporters is that to get back from the Pole or its neighborhood will be the hard work and labor. However, the new project appears to be backed with the required funds. In that case the unprecedented sight will be afforded of Sweden, Austria, America, Holland, Den- mark, asd England, all together in Arctie

| waters, in a race for the Pole.

Mixixe Swrypies.—Prof, Young, of Bruns- | wick, said, during a debate in the Maine House, on Monday, that nine ont of every ten (mining companies in the State were unmiti- gated swindles. Zion's Herald says: Just at this time Maine is becoming about as crazy as California with mining speculations. Some of our estimable miuisters, we learn, are tempted 'totry their fortune upon the rise in mining ‘stocks. We have ne doubt of the result. lt \is much easier to prophecy it than the proba-

| Bishop Whlberforce’s recently published ‘biography contains many amusing and char- ‘acteristic anecdotes. On one occasion, after he became rector of Brightstone, in the Isle of Wight, he was waited on by an old farmer whose one desire in life was to rent the glebe acre. ‘‘\VYhy 7?’ asked the bishop. ‘* Weil,’ said the old fcilow, with a look of business shrewdness, ‘“‘when t other parson was here, he used to farm it himself, and there being so little of it, he always got in his hay before ‘anybody else; then he clapped on the prayer for rain,”

aces OY Eee The Budget Speech.

Resume of Sir Lesnard’s Exposition

oi the Finances,

The following despaich was received last night too late for insertion :—

Orrawa, March. 10.

Sdn delivering his Budget, the Finance Minister said that when he came to the Honse last session he had to ask for addi- tional taxation to save the credit of the country. He found that the deficits for the past year under Cartwright instead of being $2,000,000, was actually $3,500,000,

Sir Samuel Tilley showed that in every item Cartwright’s estimated receipts were wrong. While Tilley based his caleulations on $2,009,000, he had practically to con- tend against $3,300,000. The estimate made by Tilley on the Customs receipts last session was $1,400,000. The receipts for the first six months of the fiscal year amount to more than half that amount.

The whole expenditure for current year is estimated at $24,897,600. The estimated revenne is $24,459,000. An nnder estim- ate made by Cattwright en interest and sinking funds, was discovered, which, if it had not to provide for income and expendi- ture would balance.

The tariff has operated in favor of the English manufacturers as against the American. The falling off being seven per cent in one case, and thirty-three in the other,

The increase of duty on imported goods has been 4 per cent. as against 1878. Canada 4 per cent. securities are quoted in London at 7 per cent. more than last year, and higher than any other British Colony.

lor the first time in the history of Can- ada, the exports exceeded the imports of the first six months of this year, by $6,- 500,000.

No radical changes will be made in the tariff. The duty on coal is increased to 60 cents. On fish, in cash, the duty is to be 1} cents pec quarter. On wool, such as pro- duced in Canada, 3 cents per pound.

Mr. Cartwright spoke against ‘thé Tariff and the National Policy.. Hon. Mr. Tupper replied in a vigorous speech, stating that it did net hecome Mr. Cartwright, who had rolled up deficits to over $8,000,000 in five years, to lecture Sir Leonard Tilley, whe had so nearly balanced income and expen- diture. <<2@m>>P>

be a Punishable Of- fense.

The secial habit of drinking at bars, where each member of a party, having been “ treat- ed” by another, considers it necessary te treat every other member, bas at last attract- edi the attention of law-makers. The Iowa Legislature has a bill before it to abolish the custom and make it a punishable offense ; and, although such a proposition can never become a law, itis signiticant as showing public dis- like of a custom which no drinking man wants to be the first to disregard, This habit of standing treat is the cause of more physical and mental discomfort than every other con- vivial custom combined; a respectable man who feels the need of a glass of wine or spirita, approaches a bar, and tinds, perhaps, several acquaintances who are drinking and who in- vite him to joiu them. When he has done so, and drank ail he came for, bis spiric of inde- pendence prompts him to retarn the invita- tion, which is aceepted by the others because it would seem Giscourteons to refuse ; then those who have been treated make haste te return the compliment for fear of seeming mean, and the end is that four or five men, each of whom came for a single glass of liquor, retire with several times as much as they needed or wanted. A sillier habit does not exist among sensible men. If a man’s reputation is so ieeble that its existenee de- pends upon the price of several glasses of liquor that nobody wants it is not worth saving. Che man who has not the moral courage te drink what he wanta, and only that, gets far more injury than benefit from his petations.

While Russian Royalty is pursued by dynamite, the English Royal family seems aitlicted with bad drains. An Ottawa cor. respondent says that the Princess Louise suffered from severe headaches while work- ing in her studio, and other ladies there were situilarly afilicted. While she was in England the studio floor had to be taken up to enlarge the building, when an open cesspool was dis- covered beneath it.

Treating to

In 1873 the Corporation of London erected, on the exact spot where Peter werked asa carpenter while in England, a large beard, bearing the words, ‘“‘Here worked as a ship carpenter Peter, Czar of ail the Russias, after. ward Peter the Great.” Itis curious that the Russians should not have erected some more enduring monument on the spot in memory of their greatest and, with all his crimes, most revered monarch.

Remedy for Hard Times.

Buy good, healthy food, eheaper and better clothing; get more real and substantial things ef life every way, and especially stop the foolish habit of running after expensive and quack doctors or using se much of the vile humbag medicine that es you only harm, and makes the proprietors rich, but put your trust in the greatest of all simple, pure remedies, Hop Bitters that cures always at a trifling cost, and you will see bet- ter times and good health.
