Alaska.?A special agent of the Treasury Department, ufter a thorough iuspeotiou of Alaska, reported that these remote possessions of tbo Go? vernment bud beeu greatly exagger? ated, uh fur us their resources and utility were coucerned; that the princi? pal revenue wuh derived from thu seal fisheries, and tbe support of tbo Go? vernment troops required u larger out? lay than thu receipts from this snurcu. It seems, however, that this Alaska ex? plorer was not as brilliant a genius us he might bavo been; that he did not have sufficient general information to know a good thing when ho saw it. For we have the very gratifying state? ment of three Icelandic gentlemen, deputed by Icelandic settlers iu tbe State of Wisconsin to visit Alaska and see if it was a fitting habitation for tbe descendants of the Vikiugs, that the country wuh expressly intended by Di? vine Provide.uce for tbe dwelling place of their countrymen. In fact, Messrs. Ion Olafssou, Oiufr Alufssou und Paul lijorussou were perfectly delighted with this bisuitic rock, so disparaged by tbo special ugeut of our Govern? ment. They tiud soil of u fair quulity and splendid fisheries, a feature wbicb seems to have tickled their fancy amaz? ingly; and while admitting them are Mime ugly swamps, they cluim that they can be drained very easily. In concluding their report to Prestdeut Graut, the committee says: "We, therefore, do uot hesitate to reeommeud tbosu of our couutrymen who are minded to emigrate that they come hither if they can, aud we do this after a miunto und conscientious deliberation, in the firm belief that it will be Tor their advantage, as the laud seems iu every respect well adapted to them, aud answers completely all our expectations. Agriculture is wholly untried here, so that it is uot entirely certain how fur the country is adapted thereto; but this circumstance bus for the Icelanders, who lit homo uro not accustomed to agriculture, not the same importance wbiob it has for peo? ple of many other nations, who will yet for many years fiud land to their taste, uot yet settled, farther Fast. We cannot, therefore, do otherwise than express the hope thut tbo Ameri? can Government will do ull thut lies in its power to encourage the immigration of our oountrymeu to Alaska. Since that lutid seems to havo been created just for tbom, iu liko manner we think that men of our race aro the best adapted, or perhaps the only men adapted, to bottle aud cultivate that country and to utilize the natural re? sources with which it is furnished, both for tbe reasons above stated, uud also for other reasons, founded not merely on physical advantages, but j which we will not detain your Excel? lency in specifying, we are convinced [ that Alaska will suit our countrymen ' better than any other laud ou earth." it in, therefore, txtremuly probable that, through this potent recommenda? tion, Alaska will soou be overrun with j gentlemen whose names possess the j Qual syllable "sou," aud iu u few years j tbe sinewy gentlemen from Alaska will have a hearing ou the floor of Con gross. As tbe Norwegians aud Swedes t have gone into Wisconsin, Miuucsotu I ami Iowa for climatic reasons, so our j Icelandic friends will seek thu some I what frigid latitude of Alaska. When i they do so wo will not boar any more j strictures upon tbo "basaltic rock." A Grave Mixture?Church wus married four times, uud his wives were all buried iu n curtain grave-yard. It j became uecessary to remove the re I mains of the dear departed to another I cemetery. Church uudertook thu j work himself, but, iu carrying tin jsaiuted dead out in a furniture car, \ the bones uufortuuatcly got mixed, ? and when reinterment begun, even 1 Church himself was unable to tell j which was Emily aud which was Hiu ! null. After doing the best be could, ! lie had the four graves closed. Being ' a strictly accurate man, be felt that it ; would be wrong to use thu old head , stones when he was not at all certain ! that Iluuuuh's dust might uot all ho under her tomb-stone. So, in order ? to be precise, he hud a new set made with such inscriptions us these: "Hero lies II inn ?Ii Church, (ind probably part of Emily,) who was born," etc. "Sacred to the memory of Mary Church, (who seems to be mixed with J .Matilda,) who was born," etc ''.Straugcr, pause and diop a to., r 1 For kindly Church lies buried here, ' Mingled iii some perplexing manner With Mary, Matilda and probably Hannah " ? - The presentation of n shirt by a woman to tbo man she wants to mar i ry will cut tbo heart out of love. Gnu I young girl tried it, and made her lover a gbsteuing white shirt with brr own pretty bauds. Ho retired to his boarding-house, put it on, and went straightway to see und make lovo to another girl. Clad iu a clean shirt lie felt above the seamstress who had made it, aud sbe lost bis coveted com? pany. Gerrit Smith, in a rooent pronuncia mento touching the Civil Rights Hill, ouyn: "It the passing of it be delayed, bell will break loose again all over tbe laud, as it did in tbe days uf tbe fugi? tive slave Act, when even in the re? motest North slave hounds wero every? where upon the track of poor men, women and children." Every now and then, somo veuomous old Abolitionist conceives it to be bis special duly to scream uud yell at tbe uuaccountuble delay iu the admission of the uegro to tbo domestic hearth stone, the family meal and other personal privileges of tbe white man. If tbe negro is not crowded down upon white domestic privacy und Hociul privileges at once, we aro told thut "bell will break loose." Fortunately this kind of vatioiuation is recognized as tbo purest description of twaddle, and us there is an utmost sure prospect that this dying wish of Charles Sumner will never be grati? fied, the whole race of civil rights shriekers will ere loug sicken with hope deferred und pass away with tbe con? sciousness that there is iu reality a higher law, which arranges men iu classes and conditions, from which it is uutirely unnatural to force them. [Louisville Courier-Journal. Drunk in tiik Pulpit.?A special despatch from Cincinnati to the Chi? cago Tribune says: "There was a stunning sensation to? day iu oue of our Episcopal Churches (St. John's) ou tbo occasion of tbe Christmas services uud communion. Tbo rector of this church, tbo Her. C. Ii. Davidson, died recent!y, uud his place has not yet been supplied. To? day a minister of Goviugion had beeu secured to ofliciute. Unfortunately tbe gentleman hud partaken rather freely of egg-nog before going to the church; and worse still, when he got there be dived iuto tbo jug wf com muuiou wine, drinking long uud often of tbe rich juice ol the grape. He managed to got through the formal services decently, but by tbe time ho uommeuced ou bis Christmas sermon the mixture uf egg-uog aud wine had so worked upou bim that ho was budly 'oiT,' und wandered sadly. He ram? bled around, jumping from one topic to another in such a way that all could see that the man was drunk. At last, when thu thing became unbearable, thu wardens guve the siguai, and tbe congregation got up quietly aud left with dignity, leaving t.uu minister to tulk to empty benches." A French Report ov tue Brook i,tn Scandal.?This is the way a Frenchman reported the Hrooklyu scandal: "Ono Grand J'ieulesiasticul Scandal.?Great excitemout iu New York and Brooklyn. ?

Among the interesting items be will have to lank after, is u public debt of ?140,000,000 bequeathed to him, his heirs and assignees, by Ins predecessors. Up to this time, the city of New York has uot recovered a dollar of the enormous ?ums of money fraudulently taken by Win. M. Tweed.

Those deservedly celebrated and popu? lar medicines have effected a revolu? tion in the heuling art, and proved tbo fallacy of several maxims whioh hive for many years obstructed the progress of medical science. Tbe faleu supposition that "Consumption is incurable," deterred physicans from attempting to lind remedies for that disease, und pntiduta afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making uu effort to escape from a doom which they Happened to be una? voidable. It i? now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, uud that it Ans been cured in a very great unm ber of c-ises (some ol them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pulmo nie Syrup ulone; and in other oases by tbe same medicine iu couuoction witb Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Man? drake Pills, one or both, according to Ihn requirements of tho case. Dr. Scbeuuk, himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty yours, was supposed, at ono timo to be ut tbe very gate of doath. his physicians huviug prouounced his casu hopeless, and abandoned bim to his fate. He was cured by the afore? said medicines, und, since his recovery, many thousand:; similarly affected have used Dr. Schenck's preparations with the same remurkable success. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necossnry to personally see Dr. Schenck, unless pa? tients wish thoir lungs examined, und for this purpose bo is professionally at bis principal oilier, corner Sixth aud Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Mou day, where all letters for advice must be addressed.
