Good Resolutions.
Ttroswhen the toddling baby year
lis greeting to the world was giving,
I shed a melancholy tear
And vowed to change my mode of living.
"My wicked ways I'll mend," methought;
"To bo sedate I'll now endeavor;"
But all my sohemcs buvo oomo to naught,
I Etill remain as bad as ever,
Methought, "I waste my morns In bed
(I seldom rose till 12 or later),
Which laziness It must bo said
Full often agitates my paler.
"Anon at 5 a. m. 111 rluo,
At once from these late hours I'll Bover;"
But (let It not excite surprise)
I still turn out as late as over.
"IsTow, as to cash affairs, I tear
I'm past all remedy," I pondered,
"I grieve to think that all lastycar
No end of coin I rashly squandered.
Oh Fortuno ! one chance more I crave;
Oh heart! be prudent, now or never.
Atonce I'll try what I can save"
Alas! I'm Just as poor as ever.
Ah me! with grief my mind's beset.
And duns continue still to storm me ;
I'm Justus hopelessly In debt.
And long for some one to reform me.
Though conscience knocks, 'tis all In vain,
I thought myseif extremely clever.
My plans went wrong, and I remain
As big a reprobate as ever.
THE POLAR CAVITY.
Amcricns Symmes Explainslils Theory
Amerlous Symmes, a oltfzon of Jef
ferson County, Ivy., who has been
much talked of by the press of Amer
ica, believes that this earth is hollow
and habitable within, and that, after
Bailing to a certain degree of north
latitudo, a ship then goes into tho
earth, where tho other world exlats.
We copy a rocont letter from him to
the Louisvillo Courier- Journal :
In your pnper of a late date I see a
piece headed "Howgato'a Polar Colo
ny," in which is given his plan of ap
proaching the pole by slow approach
es say five years, stopping for the
llrst year up at about tho eighteenth
degree of north latitude and spending
one year, nnd then going say up to
tho eighty-fourth or fifth, and remain
for another year, and bo on for three
or four moro years, until the men will
become so hardened to the cold that
they may finally reaoh tho polo. He
seems to have no idea of tho
"Symmes theory,'' or if he had he
nover alludes to the possibility of its
being worthy of notice, although Cap
tains Parry, Ross, Hall, Tys"on and
Dr. Kano's explorations in the ex
treme north go farther to provo tho
Symmes theory true than that of Sir
Isaac Newton. A Mr. Julius Payer
has also written a letter to tho New
York Herald, giving his views of the
best way to ".Reach the Pole1' upon
tho supposition that the Newtonian
theory is tho ouly correct one, and
that it must bo one vast solitude of
eternal; ice up to the ninetieth de
gree north. I wonder if either of the
above mentioned persons over read an
account of Capt. Parry's third voyage
to the North, in which he was told
that In this voyage ho "must go to
' the pole,' and to prepare himself fully
.for the purpose. He then said he
must have reindeer, as the Esquimaux
, dogs were too slow to propel sledges
-from where ho would have to leave
his vessel. So reindeers were pro
cured for him, and tho some kind of
sledges or small boats that the Lap
landers use, with bottoms shaped as
sled-runners, butmado water-tight,
so that if they break through the Ice
they will not sink.
He had plenty of food for the deer
put on board, and away he Bailed for
tho North Pole, and forced his vessel
ns far north as about the eightieth or
eighty-first degree of north latitude,
and then took to the ice with his
small boats or sledges. He did not
travel moro than one degree north
ward before ho came to a spaoe of
opeti water, so of course he could not
use his deer beyond that point. He
then told his men (he had six men to
eaoh boat) that they must go on to
the pole, and the deer was no more
thought of; but they paddled their
little boats across tho open water to
the next oake of Ice and went on
northward, and tho farther they
went the more open water they found,
much to their astonishment. They
also found the ice getting "few and far
between" oaoh cake, and as they
wore in mid-ocean with only small
boats, when a storm would arise they
would pull their boats upon the ice
and thus outride the storm; but when
they got to 82 degrees they meaaured
the ice and found it only (four feet
thiok, and when up to 82 degrees on
ly three feet, and when up to 82$ de
grees they oould find no ice strong
enough to bear the weight of their
little boats, and the sun so hot as to
melt the tar out of tho seams of their
boats, and small flies came on board ;
so they were obliged to return. Capt.
Parry Bays ho had "three weeks of as
fine sunshiny weather as he ever saw,
and it was all open water before him."
no also made frequent mention of
warm winds coming from the north ;
- all of whloh Is in exact conformity to
tho Symmes theory, for it eaya an
open Polar sea will be found at or
about the 83 deg. of north latitude,
and does not Parry prove it so ? It also
says .that more water fowls and wild
animals will be found up there than
anywhere else in creation ; and did
not Kane's expedition find open wa
tet at the 82 deg., and water fowls so
abundant that in shooting a single
bullet among them would kill two or
throe every shot, and they found
their nests so thiok on the mountain
side that they could have gathered a
wagon load of eggs, and a gale blew
for thres days dlreotly from tho north
and came bo warm as to melt much of
the snow and Ice that they naa trav
eled over when going north, and they
gathered many kinds of grasses and
flowers, and took them baok to the
vessel to show Dr. Hane what an
open country they had found yet in
spite of all this, who has any confi
dence In the Symmes theory.
Did not Capt. Boss, when In high
aortbern latitudes, make mention of
warm winds coming out of the North
that melted the Bnow and loo about
blm and far south of him? Could
these warm winds oome out of suoh a
oountfy as Sir Isaao Newton repre
sents it to be? Could water fowls and
flowers flourish there either? Are
Parry, Ross and Kane to be believed ?
Did not Capt. Hall push his way
northward in his steam vessel Polaris
through the Ice up to 82 degreos 16
minutes, and found open water plen
ty, and would have gone farther but
for his old drunken sailing master,
Buddington, whose heart it was prov
en was not in the expedition, and
swore "he'd bo damned If the vessel
should go any further," and made
them go Into winter quarters at 81 de
grees 38 minutes, where, during the
next summer, tbey caught birds, but
terflies, caterpillars, spiders, bugs,
beetles, and many smaller Insects re
ported on in Washington, after their
return, by Dr. Blssels, who was with
the expedition, yet who believes in
tho SymmeB theory? Is Dr. Blssels
to be believed? After Capt. Hall
went into winter quarters at 81 degs.
38 min., he took a Bled-ride north
ward of only fifty miles, and came to
an open Ben, while ho encamped for
two days, and while there he wrote
his last dispatch to the Seoretary of
the Navy, In which he says: "I find
this a much warmer country than I
expected, and It abounds with life
seals, game, geese, duoks. muskcattlo,
wolves, foxeB, deer, rabbits, partridg
es, lemings, etc." Snipe, plover and
all kinds of wading birds, and ono
squirrel were caught.
He also said ; "I can Eee land and
water as far north as seventy miles,
or up to 83 deg. 5 min., and I Bee a
dark, nimbus cloud, which seems al
ways there, and prevents my deter
mining whether it is land or water
beyond." That dark uimbUB cloud
hung over the open Polar sea up at 83
deg. 5 min., which Is in exaot accord
ance with tho Symmes theory, as be
fore stated.
Anothor faot about that open Polar
sea took place on board the Polaris,
when Buddington refused to go any
farther north with her, and that Is,
when they were to turn back, Mr.
Moher, who wbb one of the sclentlfio
corps, said ho would like to measure
tho dlstunce from tho vessel up to a
certain water cloud that was seen in
tho north, under whioh they wore all
agreed tho open Polar sea must be. So
he got out his instruments, and first
found the position of the vessel,
whioh lay at 82 degrees and 9 minutes,
and then said it was juBt sixty-four
miles up to the cloud, and as sixty
nino miles is a degree, and they were
at 82 deg. 9 min., tho sixty-four miles
shows that tho open sea was at or
about the 83 deg., as laid down In the
Symmes theory, which proves that
part of the theory true by actual
measurement, and yet in all the plans
that have been mentioned to reach the
pole, no allusion is made to the prob
ability of the Symmea theory being
true, when there la moro evidenco of
its truth than of any other theory.
Another strong evidence of its truth
is proven by all explorers, who say
that during the fall season of the year
all tho -wild anlwab go uurtk nnd re
turn in the spring, fat, and bringing
their young with them. What does
that mean ? Would they go to a oool
er climate to produce their young and
get fat? Certainly not, but must pass
over the verge and into a warmer
country, suoh as Capt. Symmes says
will bo certainly found beyond the
eighty-third degree of north latitude.
If Capt. Nares had staid the second
Bummer up north, as he was prepared
to do, he would have realized a very
different state of affairs; for it Is
nearly always tho case that one ex
treme follows another, and the next
would have been Buch as Parry, Boss,
Dr. Kane-, Hall and Tyson found
when they were up there for where
they found open water he found ice.
He must have struck such a winter
up there as we .had hero laBt winter,
for the oldest Inhabitant cannot recol
lect when navigation on the Ohio was
suspended for forty days on acoountof
the ice. Suppose a gentleman should
have left New York last winter to go
to New Orleans by water from Pitts
burg, as thousands have done before,
and when he arrived at Pittsburg in
the middle of last Deoember and
found the river frozen up, and waited
two, three or four weeks, and it was
still frozen, his patience would give
out, and he, like Capt. Nares, would
return to New York and say that the
thing is impossible.
Was not the winter previous to the
last so open that navigation was not
Impeded three days from Pittsburg to
New Orleans? Suoh, no doubt would
have been the case had Capt. Nares
staid north for another Beason, as he
was preparing to do. I hope the bill
appropriating $50,000 for another ex
pedition, that is Inthe hands of the
Naval Committee, will pass, and an
other steam vessel be fitted out for that
porpose, that will leave New York the
last of June next, and if 6ho should
find too muoh Ice to prevent her
reaching the open Polar Bea, let a par
ty of men follow tho wild animals
northward In tho fall, and they will
lead them Into Capt. SymmeB' new
world, where the climate Is warm and
genial; or, if they oan't sail In with
their vessels, let them not be alarmed
when they pass the polar attraction,
and their compass points south when
they think they are going north, for
they will then have passed over the
verge and into the hollow of the
earth, and If they keep on they will
oome out into the this world again at
tho south pole.
Did not Capt. Waddell go upon a
south exploring expedition a few
years ago, and found an open Porlar
sea, as in tho north, and when enter
ing it found his compass had reversed
Its position, and was pointing north
when he thought he was going south
ward, and became alarmed and turned
baok, when, If he had followed on, bb
his compasB dlreoted, he would have
oome out at the north pole, and would
have proved the Symmes theory true,
whioh eayB the earth is hollow, and
no doubt habitable within. What a
grand discovery will be made if thej
next exploring expedition will send
out a set of men that properly under
stand the SymmeB theory.

Bulgarian Women.
A recent English book on Turkey
has the folowing : 'We passed thro'
a busy hive of reapers, who were cut
ling the produot of those ohemical
substances, and who "were nearly all
Bulgarian women. Wo were going
up a hill at the time, and I had left
my 'infernal maohine' to enjoy tho
pleasure of stretching my IegB and
counting my bruises, when I saw sev
eral of the young women hastening
toward me. Feeling that it would "be
ungallant to turn my baok on so fair
a charge, I stopped, determined to see
it out at all hazards. On they came,
with laughing lips and sparkling eyes,
as I stood wrapt In expectant wonder,
for they were so many. Soon I wob
surrounded: What might be the cus
toms of tho country, or what might
be expected of me, I knew not, and I
felt that, could my friends at homo
see me at this moment, my situation
would be ludicrous in the extreme.
But now my hands were kissed, ono
foot was raised nnd the sole of my
foot was rubbed with ears of oorn, to
signify that it waa the desiro of these
brown damsels that I might forever
walk on plenty. This -pcatical con
sideration for my welfare deserved
some return, bo I distributed some
small Jcoins among them, and was
laughingly released.

How suddenly the Southern horror
of Federal troops vanishes when the
boot is on the other leg! Almost as
soon as tho strike on the Baltimore
and Ohio Road oocurred, the Governor
of West Virginia called on the Presi
dent for troops to suppress it. The
militia of a whole State wbb not suffi
cient to overcome the employes of a
single road ; and it seems there was
no law for calling them out, if they
had boeneflloient.
The alaority, too, with which the
President obeyed the call was remark
able, in the light of very recent
events. But the other day, bb it were,
the lawful Governors of two States
called upon the President for assist
ance to sustain themselves against
armed Insurrection ; but the President
refused to gant it, under the miserable
excuse that the United States Govern
ment was not competent to oarry out
the provisions of its Constitution, but
that he must yield to tho inevitable.
Yet another Governor calls upon him
for troops, not to preserve the lawful
government, but to suppress a strike
against a gigantlo and oppressive mo
nopoly, and he at onoe sends forth
troops to shoot down laboring men
who aro contending for bread for their
families. Perhaps it can be Bhown
that he was pledged to this in the Re

have been above the average. Prlngle
considers this to be a large yield, con

Saddle-Galls. To prevent saddle-galls,
tho saddle should be lined
with some smooth, hard substance.
Flannel or woolen cloth Is bad. A
hard, finished, smooth rawhide lin
ing, similar to those of tho military
saddles, Is preferable. Then, if the
saddle Is properly fitted to the horse's

THE
OLDEST PAPER
AND
THE BEST LOCAL PAPER IN THE STATE!
THE ADVERTISER IS IX ITS
TWENTY-SECOND YEAJR.
Its history Is co-equal and co-extensive with that of
NEMAHA COUNTY AND SOUTHERN NEBRASKA.
Its politics are
Anti-Democratic and Anti-Monopoly !
IN A WORD IT IS
MWI
Tree to do right, fro to approve honesty or denounce corruption, because
no political or religious ring or clique owns any part or parcel iln it, and
it owes indorsement to no man except to him who has acquired the right
to be Indorsed by discharging his duties well and honestly as a private citi
zen or a public official.
THE ADVERTISER believes in Free Thought, Free Schools, Froo
Politics, and tho broadest Individual liberty, consistent with the rlghtB of
others; and that every Individual, South, North, East and West, should be
protected in the enjoyment of those rights by the General Government in
obeyance to tho guarantees of the National Constitution, -
:AS -A. LOCAL .PAPEB,
The publishers of THE ADVERTISER labor assiduously, and with unre
mitting industry, to make it a success. Without prejudice or partiality for
or against any particular localities, they desiro the welfare of all; and any
thing a newspaper can do for the advancement of tho general prosperity,
THE ADVERTISER Is not only willing, but anxious to do. Believing in
TOWN AND COUNTRY,
and that the prosperity of the one depends more or less upon the other, we
can consistently work for the prosperity of all.
As an evidence that we labor to give our readers an honeBt paper, and
the most and greatest variety of reading matter possible, wo invite attention
to the columns of our paper, and comparison as to quantity and quality, with
any other weekly In the State not made up from the matter of a daily. We
are determined to make THE ADVERTISER a paper that the people will
seek for, and receive full value for the money Invested in it.
