The excitement consequent upon the anticipated departure of Mr. Gilder for the North Pole- has recently awakened in the bosom of American people a new interest in what 1 may term the great terra incognita, if I may be pardoned for using a phrase from my own mother tongue. Let us for a mon ent look back across the bleak waste of years and see what wonderful progrès« has been made in the discovery of the pole. We may then ask ourselves, who will be first to tack his location notice on the gnawed and seasoned-cracked surface of the pole itself, and what will he do with it after he has so filed upon it? Iceland, 1 presume, was discov ered about 860 A.

AI hihq Journal, The excitement, about the Canadian fisheries give a hint as to the prospective value of one of the undeveloped resources of the northwest. The shore fishing of the provinces, on the Atlantic side, is of sufficient importance to bring the United States and its neighbors to the vergo of a quarrel, but it is a small matter compared I with the opportunities open in the north western waters on this side of the conti nent. The mackerel fishing, which is the present matter of dispute, is of no less im portance thau the banks codtishing ; yet the whole extent of the Newfoundland banks is only about 70.000 square miles, while in the Pacific and Okhotst we have 300,000 square miles, in Behring sea almost as much more, and around the Choumagin islands 80,000 ; altogether nearly ten times the area of the Atlantic banks. The total money value per an num of the fisheries on the banks and off the east coast of the British North Ameri can provinces is in the neighborhood of (25,000,000, which embraces the catch of the vessels of all nations resorting there. When the fisheries of the north Pacific are developed to anything like the extent of those of the north Atlantic they will form one of the great industries of this coast.—San Francisco Call. EMPRESS OF LOTA. A Rich Woman Who 1» a Potentate In the Heart of a Free Republic. I notice an interesting paragraph in an English journal which informs 11» that a Leith firm has just completed a handsome screw steam launch, which has beeu built to the order of Mrs. Couteno, a South American lady, who is reported to be the richest woman in the world. The launch, which is built of steel, is twenty-tive feet in length, and is to be employed as a tender to her large yacht. (The large yacht is engaged at present in the unpretend ing but protitable trade of carrying coal from Lota to Valparaiso.) It is elaborately fitted up in polished nia- hnganv and is to be dispatched forthwith by'one of the mail steamers from Liv erpool for conveyance to Chili. B sides being the richest lady in t ie world, she also enjoys the singular privilege of being Empress over a tract of territory called Lota, which lies some two or three hundred miles south of the port. It may appear strange to speak of an Empress in the heart of a free republic, but nevertheless the fact exists, and so absolute are her Majesty's powers that there are few be of her subje -ts who would enough to resolute ami courageous „ „ claim the po-session of their own im mortal souls, or who would not be pre pared to deny that on the making of the place a special arrangement was made w'.tli reference to coal deposits between the Divinity and the reigning monarch. During her absence the Government is carried on. much as it is in Ireland, by means of a Viceroy, with this excep tion, that while the Irish are not in frequently rebellious and troublesome and actually lay claim to the the right of having a slight say in their destinies either in this world or in that which is to come, such a supernatural effort never enters the simple and uncom plaining min is of the population of this rem irkable portion of God’s foot stool. And why should it be other wise? The Viceroy, or boss Pasha, anil his court have been so long accus tomed to licking and cleaning the boots of their sovereign mistress, and passing along th.sir own in return to their subordinates, who perform a similar but humbler task, and keep the ball rolling always downward, that it would bo at once a dangerous and unkindly action to p -rsundo them that they are fe'itherless bipeds and not dirt-eating automatons.— I’unama Star. --------- » ---------- —“1 must say that 1 very much <1 fl like this es entiitious furnishing,’’ re marked the eideriy M iss I’r ugle as she looked about her in the new home of the Spankingtons. “Now. look at that elaborated framed nfrror; I declare 1 can see noth ng beautiful in it.” “You shoiildn t expect impossibilities.
