briefly spoko of the objects of tbe
meeting as follows ; n
Gontlomen : It will not be expoct-
ed of me to make any longtby state
ment ot the purposes lor which you
aro assomblod hero to-day.
The act of Congress constituting
you corporators in the Contonnml
Board of Finance, and the sovoral
publications of the Unltod Slates
Commission nndcr Hint law, aro, it is
presumod, familiar to you all. To
popularize and bring fairly to the no
tice of the people or tho wholo coun
try tho colouration of the ono hun
dredth anniversary of tho nation's
birthday involves labor and solf-sacri-fice
lo all having olllcial duties con
nected therewith.
What soems to be required of you
Is to start and give momentum to tho
work, lor when the mnssos bocome
fuirly arousod it will movewilh an ir
resintible force, which will only need
to beguidod to insure entire succoss.
ll, is nov my province lo wn ims
convention what to do. Composed,
as it is, or men ot tlistinguinhcd abili
ty, exporionco and patriotic oarnost
noss in the good work, 1 fool that
further words from me would be u
porfluous. I lake tho liberty of sug
gesting tor president ot this body i
goullcman who has, from its iuocp
lion, uovotou much time and ability tori
this work, and whoso well-known
character for succeeding in all his un
dertakings is a guarantee of snccesi,

lion. Daniel M. pox was thereupon
unanimously elected president.
JUr. rox, upon assuming the chair,
said :
Gentlemen : I thank you most s'u,-
ccroly for tbe honor of prosidlng over
your deliberations. , Although the di
ttos oi the convention are not many,
nor likely to be difficult, tho purpose
for which we bavo come together V
niah tha (anilitipM anil the ofpntf'"
to the poople of Pennnylvania to dem
onstrate their love of oouulry in con
tributing toward the grandest celebra

the generation in which we livo : and
I very much mistake tho sentiment of
the cilitcns of this ono of the "glori
ous old thirtcon," if the entire portion
of the stock of tho Centennial Board
of Finunco allotted to this Common
wealth be not very spoodilv taken,
npon the, opening of tho books of the
corporation, indeed, I fool quite sure
tbat there will be thousands who will
rejoice in tho privilege of subscribing
for the great objoot now a oar 10 me

I rcpoat, must occupy tho ablest lyiu
tho Lost in the land, and it is not for
us to dilute upon them j and 1 there

do what we oan in tbe mode tho law
points out, to promote the groat pur-

Tiding from the Iceless Polar Sea
. . . Its Geographical Import. . ,
The important tidings which "we
publish to-day from the great open
Polar Soa will bo read with doop in
terest, as furnishing new evidence of
the existence of tbat mysterious phe
nomenon first made known by the
Amorican explorers under Dr. Kane.
This time tbo explorer is tho bold
Norwegian, Captain Nils Johnson,
who, as late as the latter part of lost
August, rediscovered and re-explorod
for the socond time tbe islands lying
to the east of Spitzbcrgon, and, more
over, discovered from tho mountaing
of tho islands seas free of ice to the
northeastward and tbe indications of
powerful ooeanio currents serving to
koep opon tbe higher Polar seas.
For two nnd a half centuries, ia Dr.
Petermann, the groat Gorman geogra
pher (through whom tbo present in
telligence comes), has said, these lands
bavo been "danced about on tho map"
by the various cartographers of differ-
, SAjrvuiviuim USn, SHIIO UIUISUI
Altmann.of Hummorfeel,visitcd them,
and now the investigation of Captain
Johnson furnishes accurato data for
their geography. The value of this
discovery must not be measured by
tno sigmucance or magnitude of the
land explored, but is highly import
ant as revealing certain long-desired
points ot observation and research as
to tho physical goography of thoso
high latitados in the Atlantic and as
to ihe exisienoe and causo of the
Polyhymnia, seen last year to extend
to tho northeastward by the Austrian
explorers, Payer. and Weyprecht.
Captain Johnson attulnod the high lati
tude of nearly eighty degrees north.
and from th so ram its of the hills
found tltat tlut ata to tha nnrtntward. .
expedition of lust year, was ''entirely
troo irom too. j. nis corroborates tne
Austrian report of tho foelees soa
strolcbiog toward the Polo, along the
supposed pathway of tbe prolonged
equatorial surface ourrcnt and the
Gulf Stream, bctweon Nova Zombla
and Spitzbergon. ' The Islands visited
by the Norwegian explorer li In tbe
very throat, or, at least on th edge,
of tbe great .Polar ico current, wbtcn
in July 1827, whon only four hundred
Rnd thirty geographical milos from
tbe Polo, compelled Sir Edward Parry
to give up his advance northwnrd,
because in that height of Arctic Sum
mer all the ice fields were m motion,
and swept faster lo the south than bis
men could drag thoir boats to 1110
north. If tho observations now an
nounced show an Icelotrs soa northeast
of the newly discovered islands tho
strong inference is that in the deep
channel eastward and nearor to Nova
Zombla this year's expeditions will
find warmer weather, southerly winds
and the extension of the Gulf Stream,
producing and maintaining an open
water gateway to tbo extremo lati
tudes ofour globo. Tho fact observed
by Captain Johnson of enormous piles
nf rlrifttrnnrl ut.rnwn Inrirrl tmlinilll V
along tho const of tho tiow-ionna-land,
proves that the currents ot tne svrolio
Ocean are noitbor idlo nor feeblo for
cos, but play a stupendous part in
breaking up tho ices and mitigat
ing the climato of tho Pole.- Viewing
tho Norwegian exploration in this
light, it will be of great interest and

' Til Eri'EOT or Salt on mi Blood.
Dr. Stevens, a French physician,
iiw a butcher killing a pig: 1 ob
served that bo stirred tbo blood of Abo
animal, and addod a handful of com
mon salt to it whilo stirring, which
mado it crimson, and the stirring'bo
Ing discontinued, remained fluid.
The change of color awakened his
curioaity. The butcher could giv no
explanation of the phenomena, oxcopt
that il kept it from jollying and spoil
ing. Dr. Slovens seized a Vessel,
caught some blood, and made several
experiments by putting talt into it,
and found that th blackest blood wa
instantly changed to a bright vor
milion by salt. "And,"snysho,"lhpro
is a fact lhat may load to a practical
nilo." ' He had observed. In rase of
yollow lover in tho army, that the
blood drawn was very bluuk and fluid,
and on adding salt bocamo vermilion
and retained its freshen; whoroa
putridity of the blood Is one of tho
characteristic of yollow ftver."' He
therefore abandoned tho usualvmode
of troaling it aud gives his patients a
mixture of Various salts, and in avory
