Boston Commercial Bulletin.) Anyone who has heen a constant eader of Punch has no need to aravel up and down England with me 0 discover that the traditional, in- grained, agricultural laborer of the ountry is in very many cases so stupid, 0 ignorant, so devoid of all ambition o get out of the plow-ruts in which he wind his progenitors have been traveling ike cattle for many hundred years, as to sank in the mind of the careful observer mly a shade above the domestic beasts, among which his life has all been spent. I walked and talked with these Eng. ish hinds, and can testify that [ never met in my own country, outside of im- becile asylums, so stupid, so stolid and stunted a class of human beings. They have a dialect of their own, which the stranger can hardly understand: a smock-frock sort of an attire which has been in fashion for a hundred years, and a way of life, as regards work and play and general home habits, that is the same as was their fathers’ and rrandfathers. There are, however, lower depths of human unintellectuality in England thandhis. Underneath this last named slass is to be found a set of men and women that is the natural outgrowth downward) of the stupid hind class. hese are a sort of “‘innocents’” who wander about the country roads in a state bordering upon complete imbe- sility, and are saved from starvation by the charity of those who have pity for these unfortunates. Downright imbeciles are cared for in England, to a large extent, in her im- mense imbecile asylums; and these insti- tutions have to be large and numerous to accommodate the stunted imbeciles abounding in crowded old England. | «all to mind, in illustration of the char acter of these establishments, one of the largest of them, located in Watford, a town which [ walked through in my pedestrian excursion from London to Oxford. It contains 2,000 chronic im- beciles, who are under the charge of Dr. Case, an eminent medical man, and who are maintained at a net expense of 20 cents a day. The Open Polar Sea, Mr. J h W. Cremin, writing to The New York Herald on the question of this open sea, gives some very ingenious rea sons why the passage t the pole is not a frozen mass. He says: 1. In descending through a shaft, or in sinking or boring an artesian well, we find that the mercury rises in the ther mometer 1 degree for about every fifty feet that we descend toward the center of the earth. That would make a dif. ference in temperature of about 105 de. grees in one mile, and in thirteen miles the difference wonld be 1,363 degrees. 2. The polar diameter of the varth is twenty-six miles shorter than the equa- torial, therefore the north pole is thir teen miles nearer to the intensely heated center of the earth than places at the nator. And as a difference of thirteen miles in this direction produces a dif. ference in temperture of 1,365 degrees, it to be impossible to conceive + water, which is heated by connec tion, could freeze so near the interior fires, and on a surface of such a tem- perature. 3. The volcanic fractures in the crust of the earth in these northern latitudes prove its thinness, and the close prox. mnity of its surface to the heated in- terior. From what has been stated, and from “observations made at Discovery har bor and Cape Sabine, ving that warmer water came from the north than from the south,” it is almost certain that Lieut. Greely's theory of the open polar sea is the correct one. Mind-Read'ny.

Usually it is mud, however—mud and gravel, bits of rock, and long strings of slime, It is clean mud, however, and the dredger thinks nothing of plunging feet fore most into it in search of anything bright that glitters for a moment in the sun as the jaws of the scoop are jerked open above the scow, Close to the docks the mud is not so clean, but the chances of uding something viuable are so much greater that the difference is not taken into practical consideration. Sometimes it is a silver dollar that glitters in the sun and finds a resting place in the scow once in a rare while s watch, made use- less by long contact with salt water, comes to excite in the dredger the blis- tering regret that it cannot be sold or pawned, and quite frequently knives of strange shape and rusted out of all sem- blance to 1 steel join forces with bits of broken glass, to cut the fect of the dredger who treads unwarily along the bottom of the scow. Twice the harbor dredges have brought up, within the past year, a bright-bladed knife, show- ing along its point and edge a corroded stain, as though blood had stuck there. Once the sharp jaws of the scoos cut olf both feet of a drowned man. and the tide carried the body beyond the reach of grappling hcoks. A human band, with one of the fingers bruised as though a ring had been torn from it by great force, fell out of the scoop several months ago. The dredgers thought that the man from whose arm the hand had becn torn had been led down to a dock while intoxicated, and robbed and thrown overboard by the members of a “gang.” It is a common practice, but the dredge rarely disturbs the body. An immense drag-net stretched across the Narrows would catch a multitude of strange and mysterious things. Jt would be a storehouse ten times more ghastly than a morgue. There is a tra dition that years ago a murderer was onvicted by a blood-stained knife brought up in a dredge. The names and dates are lacking. Another tradi- tion says that a dredger once brought up his own runaway the bottom of the river. bruise ou Ler temple told the story of her death. The dredge r beat his brains out against the barred door of an insane | V2 , ag | nificantly say, stigmatize the country as asylum two years later. He had lived sane long enough to murder the man that man off with his daughter, and a merciful court sent him for the insane. pursed a grudge against another drediger for many years, hoping for yven- |! ge 3: J | into the steady, unimaginative geance. At length when the enemy got between the jaws of the scoop to fasten a loose rivet, the jaws closed on him, and he was swung out over the water, Then the dredge went out slowly, and the last thing that the dredger saw of earth was the face of his murderer grinning triumphantly over the edge of the scow. These traditions have no facts to make them real, but the dredg- ers believe in them. An old Spanis proverb says: “For the character of the people look in the bottom of the canal.” New York would not find much of a character in the bed of the East river, or in the slip adjoining the mouth of the sewers. When the water closes over the unlawful deeds done in the darkness or the night, only the dredge can bring it back to life. How many bodies weighted with lead lie in the mud beneath six fathoms of water, how many bodies float oul to sea, no man can know. How greatly the number of discovered dead exceeds the number of unknown dead reported by the police can never be estimated. Other than ghastly things, however, come up in the dredge. Down the bay, a few days ago, a big crab was found in a copper kettle, and an eel was found confined in a long necked bottle, much too small for him. While still young he had made the bottle his home, and grown so rapidly that he could not get out. A lizard crawled out of a rusted musket last summer in Burling-slip, and a big “‘bullhead” was found in a rat trap. A three-foot shark came up on the end of a fishing line, and two sting rays were found dead in a crabber's dip- net. Hammers, hatchets, saws, adzes, Pleas of ship's stoves, pots, kettles, ta- dishes, and various articles of ship's outfittings seem to strew the bottom of the vel Few of them are of use.

(Hen: Perloy Poors.) THe diplomatic corps, few in numbers at the commencement of the govern wont, gradually became a prominent feature in Washington society, and ae many of the ministers had liberal allow anoes of “table money,’ they contributed in no small degree to the fashionable eu joyments of the season. During the Crimean and Italian wars it was amus- ing to see the efforts made b the representatives of tho bel ligerent powers to avoid each other in drawing-rooms where they met. But now, lentente cordiale prevails. The diplomatic servants of queen and czar, emperor and kaiser, pl their re- spective sovereigns, and all united in diuding themselves with the belief that they play an important political part here. So they did, in the opinion of the marriageable damsels who are flattered with their flirtations, or in the estima. tion of snobbish citizens who glory in writing home that they have shaken hands with a lord, had a baron to dine with them, or loaned an attache $100. But, in reality, they are the veriest supernumeraries in the political drama now being performed on the Washington stage. Should any diffi- culty arise with the foreign powers they represent, special ministers would be appointed to arrange it, and meanwhile the corps diplomatique ‘“‘gives tone to society,” and is a potenti wer—in its own estimation. The various legations all exhibit their national characteristics. The British attaches ropresent the Belgravian of the London magazines—their hair just a line off the exact center, their soft eyes only one degree firmer than their sisters’, while their beautiful, long side whiskers are wonderful to behold.
