THE HEATED TERM. New Victims Yesterday, Thirty-four-- Deaths, Thirty-three. NINETY-SEVEN IN THE SHADE. Ihe Weather Record in the City for the Past Week. “ YHE-NAMES OF YESTERDAY'S UNFORTUNATES Yeaterday, though somewhat cooler than we have ‘aad any day for more than a week past, was still eaMiciently warm to be classed under the heated term. The mercury stood at 91 degrees at noon, @nd at 97 degrees (only two degrees lower than the highest reached this summer) at three o’clock ®. M.; but the relief of a good breath of wind 4n the afternoon, and of some showers of rainin the evening, helped to make locomotion endurable, though the sultrinesa of the atmosphere was at times almost overpowering. We have now had ine days of the heated term, the changes in the temperature each day varying but little. The fol- tewing table will show the indications of the thermometer from June 27 to July 4, inclusive :— ———une—— «J ly-—_ 27th, 28th. 20ih, 30th. 1st. 2d, 8d. 4th. oA.

On Thursday afternoon Charles Smith, who re- sided in Roosevelt street, was prostrated and died soon. He was buried in Calvary yesterday, not even a single carriage or a solitary mourner follow- ing the hearse that carried the remains, The ferry* men at Hunter’s Point never saw an instance of the kind before.

At two o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in the tailor shop of Louis Mendelson, 115 West Forty-Sixth street. The loss on the stuff is esti- mated at $1,000; insured for $1,500 in the Green. wich Company. The buiiding was the property of Mrs. Schwab, and was damaged to the extent of $800. Mendelson was arrested by order of the Fire Marshal on supposition of having set fire to his place, and the following is the testimony taken in the case yesterday :— Police Sergeant Coombs, of the Twenty-second precinct, was first called, and testified to the con- dition of the place when he got there, and of ar- resting Mr. Mendelson on suspicion of having set fire to the place, Peter O'Rourke, a private watchman, was next called, and made the following statement :—Ireside at 598 Ninth avenue, and am employed at Nos. 114, ‘116 and 118 West Forty-sixth street, Iam on duty there every night. A little after one o'clock this morning I saw a policeman pass on the opposite side of the street, trying the doors, and about fifteen minutes after I saw Mendelson come out of his hall door and walk in the same direction the officer had gone for about seventy-five fect. He then stopped and looked around, and then turned back, looking into each hallway as he passed, and going into his house. I was standing against the stable door, nearly oppo- site, at the time, and did not make any noise. In less than ten minutes after he went in the hall I saw a light in his shop. Went across the street and fice up on the store door and looked through the fan ight, which was open. I saw Mendelson in the store with a lighted lamp in his hand. I saw some- thing on the floor burning and something oe eane on fire. I did not notice what was on fire. Mendel- son was looking at the fre and walking backward with a lamp ip one hand and matches in the other, and Loon | no effort to put out the fire. I then commen to rap on the door, and Mendelson threw the lamp out of his hand and threw himself down. Ido not know whether he threw the iamp into the bedroom or not. ' This was the same man that I saw come out of the hall door previously, and who is now here a prisoner. ie witness here went on to state what kind of clothing Mendelson had on, and very positively identified the prisoner as the man whom he saw in the store looking at the fire.) As I looked through the fanlight I also saw a woman standing by the bedroom door leading from the store, but could not tell”ifit was Mendelson’s wife. After I commenced ing did not see what became of the woman. Trapped with my club and gave an alarm. I did not again see the prisoner until this morning, when I saw him at the Station house. I was standing at the stable door for an hour before the fire and did not see any fire- works set off, About an hour previous seme boys were sitting in the doorway singing, but did not set off any fireworks; have never ‘@ny angry word or any dimculty with the prisoner. The prisoner refused to make any statement; but a a verre bg! ee Eire rietng lighted bd nays - crackers im curough tie fanlight. ‘The prisoner was Teena back to the station house, and the case s still on, FIRE IN WEST TWENTY-SEVENTH STREET. At a quarter to two o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out at 225 West Twenty-seventh street, occupied by Joseph McConnell asa distillery and dwelling. The damage done to the steck is esti- mated rt $1,000. The fire extended to the apart- ments of Michael Nicholas, and damaged ‘the furni- ture to the extent of $1,000, The ang, is the property of Wiiliam Myers, and was injured to the extent of $600, Mrs, McConnell jumped out of the second story window during the fire and was se- riously injured. SMUGGLING ON A CUNARD STEAMSHIP, United States Marshal Batley, of Jersey City, yesterday seized nineteen pieces of French and guipure lace, containing about one thousand yards, oh the steamship Abyssinia, of the Cunard line. ‘The goods were found in 4 part of the vessel known as the “fidley.”” The butcher, William Eastwood; the fireman, Richard Bates; the baker's mate, Joseph Elliott, and a saloon keeper residing at 45 York street, named Slater, were arrested and committed to jail in default of $2,000 bail. A war- Tant was issued by Commissioner Muirhead for the arrest of the scuilery man, known as “Fred,” but he was prostrated by sunstroke in the forenoon, Elliott, who is only twenty-one years of age and has been on his second voyage, wept bittert: when informed that he must oO . The real — ler in the transaction belot ‘to New York, and is well known to the Marshal. A ‘warrant. was issued for his arrest, and it is expect- ed that he will be in custody this afternoon, 4 gang of smugglers belonging to New York and Jer- sey City have been engaged in the Wegal traiiic for a long time, at the Cunard dock. THE CITY HALL AND COURT HOUSE, An unusual appearance of quietude was manifest ,at the municipal and county ofices yesterday, con- sequent upon the effect of the festivities of the pre- vious day. At the Mayor's office the Chief Magis- trate was at his desk early in the day and got through quite an amount of work, despite the lan- guor of the “heated term.” All the attachés of the mice were on hand, looking none the worse for the “Anniversary of Independence.” In the Comp- troller’s office there was an appearance of quietude about the executive force of the department, partiy explainable by the recent festivities. The celebration of “the Fourth” had been participated in by all the clerks of this department, including those who are not of American nativity, who pum- ber about one-third European, and include the eele- brated firm of Messrs. Higgins, Wiggins, Weish, Walsh & Co, The Comptroller and Deputy Comp- troller. were at work like beavers, the latter carrying his avoirdupole about the office in a pair of pants and a vest—thue keeping his unpertarbed spirit to its normal condition of aeolness. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. John Lendis and William Ginan, two noted thieves and desperadoes, were arraigned before audge Scott, at Essex Market yesterday, 01 4 charge of highway robbery, About one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon Samuel Miller, a Spaniard, Went into @ liquor store on the northeast corner of Fifteenth street and First avenue, and asked for a glass of ale. He took the ale and went out. He was followed by Jobn Landis and William Qjnan and another, As soon as Miller got on the sidewalk the three men crowded around him, and Landis, it je nas nae put his hand in Miller's poeket and took ¢herefrom a package containing $260 in id." Miller missed the money at once, and at mptad to stop Landis; but he ran’ off, the other two men keeping hold of Miller. ‘Lata Wednesday night Landis and Ginan were arrested by Officer Graham, of the Eigeteenth precinct. Judge Scott gommutted them for trial, without bail, LiTEMPTED SUICIDE, While anffering from delirium tremens, yesterday afternoon, Edward Huber cut his throat with a razor at 174 Grand street, agd was conveyed to Bellevue Hospital 4 MARINE COURT. Great Increase of Business—Extended Jurisdiction — Wretched Accommoda- tions—Clogging the Wheels of Justice Petition of the Bar to the Common Council. The Marine Court in this city, held in the old old brown stone butiding abutting both on the park grounds and Chambers street, is at the present time, and beyond all comparison, the popular tri- bunal of the citizens of this metropolis. Itis esten- tlally the judicial requirement of the times. Beyond all other judicial tribupals of the city and county it has grown in importance and extended its juris- diction with the growth and population of the city. Established in 1830,and “run” by one judge, its Jurisdiction extended only to suits tor the recovery of $25; this was increased to $50. In 1847 the juris- diction of the Court was increased to $100; in 1852 to $250; in 1853 to $500,and by the law of 1870 to $1,000. A few years from its establish- ment an additional judge was added; but asthe demand for extended jurisdiction went on increasing another judge was added, making the Court consist of three judges. The Legislature of 1870, however, recognizing the importance of this Court, and. the necessity it had become to the citi- zens and- to the legal profession, some of the most eminent of which practice therein, and who would oftener be seen practising there but for its out of the way location, and its far more objectionable miserable accommodations—the Legislature of 1870 passed an act extending the jarisdiction of the Court to $1,000; and in view of the enormous amount of business created thereby, gave three ad- ditional judges to it. The Legislature of 1872, act of May 10, took a still more comprehensive estimate of the valne of this Court, not only to the busl- ness community, from whom the great bulk of the ractice of the Court comes, and the members of the r at large, but to the higher courts of the city and county, and declared that the Marine Court shall be vested with all the powers and jurisdiction con- ferred upon courts of record, making the practice under the code on all questions of its jurisdiction applicable to this Court. Under this new law all judgments of the Court are enforced under the game rules and practices followed in tho higher courts of record. The jurisdiction of the Court now includes in tact all actions on contracts, ver- bal or under seal; actions for damages for injuries to rights or persons, to real and personal ‘ag rgd actions on bonds and undertakings, and, if the bond be taken in Court, the amount for recovery is unlimited; actions on judgments; confessions of qacqmensk: actions for fraud in sale or purchase, or in the exchange of real or personal property; actions for libel, slander, fal imprisoument, Malicious prosecution, criminal conversa- tion, assault and battery; actions for fore- closures of mechanics’ liens, on oficial bonds of the Marshal for the taking and detaining of personal property; actions against all co. pora- tions established under or by the laws of the State. Under the new practice of the Court summonses are made returnable at the residence of defendants six days from the date of service. Where plaintiffs are non-residents summonses are made returnable in two days. The result of the latter practice is, that the lawyers and their clients are always sure of prompt action on the part of the Court ang the officials connected with it, and that an amount of business is thus disposed of which, in these days of halting justice, is truly wonderful. ‘ TRANSFER CASES from the other Cou:ts are frequent to the Judges of the Marine Court and entail a very large amount of extra work, The jurisdiction of the Court from which any cause is transferred follows the cause into the Marine Court, and except upon appeal judgment is conclusive. THE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE COURT for transacting business, judiclally or officially, are ona very diminuendo scale from the work done and to be done. What served three judges as to rooms for holding court—parts one aud two and chambers—must now sufiice for six judges, hold- ing, a8 they propose to do, four parts for the trial of Jur, and Gone jury causes, and a special term and chambers. ‘Jo enable them todo this and to work the machinery of the Court to the efil- ciency desired by the Judges themselves, greatly enlarged accommodation must be afforded them by the city authorities. During the last win- ter not one of the judges escaped sickness, brought on by exposure on the bench; nor was this all—the lawyers themselves let their cases hang over month after month in preference to endangering their own lives or the lives of their clients by going into Court. Independent of any actioy that may be taken Py, the jodaes to secure accommodation for the hol tog. of the several pars of the Marine Court, the lawyers practising befoys them have pe- titioned the Common Council in the premises. A committee of the Board of Aldermen visited the court rooms and offices a few days ago, and they fully recognized the pressing want of the accommodation sought for, and declared that the Common Councli would gladly concur in a resolution authorizing the transfer of the Court from the present building to suitable rooms in the City Hall, but they feared that Comptroller Green would not pay the cost of fitting up and re- moval. This ought not to be so, and it is to be hoped that whatever action the Common Council may take to meet the public want in this important branch of ate ae bog en ladly support aying the necessary outlay. fine oouer, this Ya done. indeed the better, tor thousands of litigants are to-day Cage | that Judicial attention in their suits which, under the circumstances, the judges cannot give. “HARK FROM THE TOMBS.” A Day at the Tombs Police Court=—A Batch of Funny Cases and Ludicrous Scenes—A Pleasing Dearth of Serious Crimes. z4 There was the usual number of drunken cases at the Tombs Police Court yesterday, but a singular dearth of the higher grades of crime prevailed. One would suppose that after a holiday like the “Fourth,” on which so much fiery liquid was drank, crime would have been on the increase, but, strange to say, the police statistics denote less arrests for felonies of ali descriptions, than has been the case, on the same day for the last ten years. Justice Hogan appeared on the bench yes- terday morning, fresh and smiling, from his rest on the Fourth, and evidently disposed to be lenient with all offenders, provided the charges were of not too grave a character. WHY DID HE DO SO? ‘The first prisoner arraigned before the bar of jus- tice was James McGuinness, a notorious Four- teenth ward rowdy, who was charged with having assaulted James Moran, of 267 Mulberry strect, while he was sitting on his stoop. Moran denied having given any provocation, but said that McGuinness came up to him and, without saying a word, knocked him down and kicked him in the face, The prisoner was walked down stairs to his cell, where he is now probably ruminating on the mutability of human affairs, PAYING OFF WITH KICKS, John Keating was next in order. John went into Richard Mahisted’s lager beer saloon, at No. 89 New Chambers street, and catled for a drink, The drink was given him, and he then told Richard “to put it down in his head, and he would call ground in the morning and kick it out.” Richard at this = waxed wroth, and started to the door to call an_ officer, but Keating intercepted him, and after knocking ‘him down proceeded to kick him around the floor the same as he would have done to a football, A policeman, who happened to pass, entered and pre- vailed on Keating to des.st from his playfulness and accompany him to the station, When the honorable Justice asked Keating why he had acted in that manner, he replied, “It was all in fun, Your Honor; 1 didn't want to hurt the Dutchman.” He was held in $300 bail. Late inthe afternoon a aeiegation of the pugilistic fraternity of the Fourth war me to the Tombs for the purpose of bailing out their esteemed friend. After a severe ques- tioning on the part of His Honor, as to the business and responsibility of the bondsman, the bond was signed, and Keating went on his way rejoicing. THE GREEN-EYRD MONSTER. Luey Brodell and Virginie Bell are two frail crea- tures living in the same house, at 49 Crosby street. Virginia had a lever, who was wont to visit her regularly. Of late his visits have been like “an- gels’ visits.” Virginia suspected something, and ascertained that the pertidious Lucy had estranged his affections ‘rom her by her coquettish arts and blandishments. Infurlated with jealousy, Virginia met Lucy at the head of the stairs leading te her apartments, and taxed her with her perfidy, Lucy sneered at her, and told her to go seek another lover, at which Virginia became so exas- oe that she struck Lucy a powerful blow etween the two eyes, knocking her down, and then nearly bit oif the index finger of her right hand. Virginia, for her cannaba’ propensities, was furnished with a country residence during the heated term. WHY DID SHE PITCH HIM DOWN STAIRS? Antovio Feutis, a verdant Brooklynite, came over to this city om the “Glorious Fourth” to “see the elepbant’ and to have a good time generally. While stwiling through Chatham street he was accosted by a bewitching bionde with a “Dolly Var- den” hat ania ih large bustie, who, in seraphic accents, requested the pleasure of comp her house. Aptonio flattered by her condescension lesced, aud arm in arm they walked off to- gether. Haviugarrived at the house, he was invited up stali nd er a little coaxing went, He had not been a great while in her room when he missed his pocket book, containing ten doilars, and when he raised an outcry concerning it the blonde caught him by the nape of the neck and pitched him down stairs whence he stree! sueceeded in arresting the fair kleptomaniac, and, on searching her, the pocket book was found, bu iainus the ten dollars, She gave her name in Court as Lucy Grey, but is known to possess severa: f held for trial. aliases, She was THE BEST MAN. On the evening of the Fourth Conrad Brinckhard and Christopher Hubert, two joiners, and fellow workmen, were drinking in @ beer saloon in the Fourth ward, when a dispute arose between them as to their respective merits as mechunics. The ument bec: me noisy, and from words Saez cane to blows. Brinckhard succeeded in getting Hubert in one corner of the room and was belaboring him unmercifully, when Hubert broke-away from him, and, rushing behind the bar, seized a large buny starter and with it struck Brinckhard on the hea When the blood began to flow Hubert became ex- cited and frightened, and, pics to the police sta- tion, gave himself up. The Justice held in $600 bail to answer. x DRENCHED WITH COFFEE. Jane Harringberg keeps a boarding house in Mott street. John Hillis one of her boarders. On the morning of the 4th instant John beeame angry at the breakfast table because there was noth- ing but cotfee and bread, and used very harsh terms toward the landlady. She resented it, and taking up acup of coffee threw it all over John, Ex- asperated beyond endurance at receiving this fresh insult, John picked up a table knife and threw it at Jane, cutting her on the head. He was sent to a boarding house where he will have to pay nothing. NEW YORK CITY. The Department of Public Parks announce that if the weather be fine there will be music by the Cen- tral Park band on the mail at the Central Park to- day at half-past three o'clock, The steamer Bristol, passing down the East River yesterday morning, ran into the tug Relief, AS soon a8 tigitud rigtee she steamed in to Fulton ferry dock, The damage very light. The persons who were in the sailboat which was upset in the bay on the 4th in:i., and which was picked up by the revenue steamer Uno, were res- sry ta & small steam yacht and safely landed in city. It is reported that a meeting of the Erie Directors ‘was held yesterday, to confer concerning business before their next meeting, The call ed so privately that nothing has yet transpired concerning it. Ayoung man was drowned on Thursday after- noon while bathing eff the Sea View House, Coney sland. Neither a lifeboat nor a life pressever could be obtained from the bathing house proprietor in time to be of any service. During the storm on the evening of the Fourth, Alexander Haimilton, aged forty-five, of 608 East Ninth street, and Mary Brown, aged twelve, of 609 East Ninth mrect, Were struck by lightning in ‘Tompkins squere. ey were tuken to their respec- tive homes, The physicians in attendance p:o- nounce their injurles fatal. Two otuer persons, Whose names were not ascertained, were also ter- ribly injured. , The workmen on the boulevards have been em- ployed by the Department of Public Works over five weeks; they number over 1,400 men, and the amount due them is little over forty thousand dol- lars. Commissioner Van Nort endeavored to have the men paid before the Fourth of July, and de- clared thas the money ought to be placed at the disposal of the Department of Public Works. ‘The Comptroller is not certain whether the men should not be paid by the Department of Parks, William Livingston and George Kegel, two men confined in a cell on the third tier in the city pri- son, awaiting their trial on a charge of grand lar- ceny, escaped Tayaterionaty on Thursday night. The keepe.s say they escaped through the window of their cll, and lowered themselves to the roof of the kitchen, where they found @ ladder, by means of which they scaled the walls; but this stery svems improbable, on account of the smaliness of the opeuing. ‘The affair demands investigation, THE HEITZE HOMICIDE, George Michels, of Ninth avenue, between Sixty- seventh and Sixty-eighth streets, who Is accused of the murder of George Heitze, on Wednesday even- img, and was arrested therefor, as previously re- ported in the HERALD, was yesterday arraigned be- fore Judge McQuade, at the Harlem Police Court, and cemmitted without bail to await the action of the Coroner, A__ representative of this paper last evening visited ‘the prisoner in his cell in thé Harlem Police Court prison, and obtained from him this version ef the ragedy :—Michels, who is a German huckster, met the deceased in ‘a store at the corner of Sixty- seventh street and the Boulevard, and charged him with calling him @ thief and other tard names. A quarrel ensued, during which Micheis seized a light tin pot and hurled it at the head of Heitze, from the etfects of which, it is alleged, he died on the 4th. It is said, however, that the deceased was grossly intemperate and was suffering at the time ‘om, and, indeed, ded of, alcoholism. Hettze was a butcher by trade and ‘leaves a family. ‘The ac- cused is also a married man. SEVERELY OOWHIDED, John Beygen and —— Bailey are conductors on the Third avenue cars. Bailey Itves with his wife op- posite the Third avenue railroad depot, aml she being one of those sprightly little pieces of human- ity, as a matter of course attracts considerable at- tention from the other conductors as they pass along on their cars, and some of them, it is satd, have been in the halit of attempting to flirt with her.

Following in the wake of the Royal Thames, the Royal London Yacht Club sailed its opening match on Monday, June 3, the course being from Erith round the Nore t and back to Rosherville, and for once in @ way there was suiticient wind to allow the yachts to get the prescribed distance. The match was nominally open to yachts of any rig ex- ceeding thirty tons, club measurement; but, as usual, it was to all intents and purposes & cutter race, tie only vessel of a different rig being the Gertrude, yawl, which by an appropriate Nemesis came to grief early in the day.

The Thames Squadron off Gravesend have been this week highly diverted by night as well as day, the yachts lying so close that in several cases se- rious resuits might have ensued. As it was, the Myosotis on Wednesday got atuwart the hawse of an Austrian frigate, and was in imminent danger of sinking. She it her crosstrees and standing rig- ging, and has leit for Cowes for repairs. The Ban- shee has in these vagaries lost crosstrees, topmast and bowsprit, and a hole made in her steel mast, besides getting a new gig smashed up. Glance has lost bowsprit and Gertrude (yaw!) has had her bul- warks and stanchions stove and broken. Iidegonda, too, lost Ler bowsprit and anchor and cable, and a schooner her jibboom.

The boat will be splendidly decorated; outside she isto have two broad gold lines, and the imperial arms and crown of Austria will be emblazoned on both sides of er bow; the interior is to be painted white, and the carved moulding inside the panclis of the wash trake, which runs all round, will be heavily gilt, id in the centre of each panel the imperial arms and crown will be painted; the backboard is of ma- hogany, most chastely carved in the same design, and the boat when. finished will make a most regal present. A New English Yacht Club. {From the London Globe, June 7.) Glancing cursorily at the ever-growing English taste for nautical sport, and especiallv for yachting, ab illustrated by passing events, it must be con- cluded that the times of the exquisite dandy, the lounging and effeminate yachtsman, are passing away, and the manly, hearty, Anglo-Saxon tone of real adventure and daring on the ocean wave has become the order of the day, rather than @ skim over the Solent in sight of the ciub house. All the nautical constructive talent, science and skill of tue present day, as encouraged and utilized by the best yacht clubs in the kingdom, are tending to- wards one object—viz., to build, rig, sail Gin | speed, beauty aud symmetry, with strength, pacity of stowage, . cabin accommodation and | sea- going qualities, and to avoid the mere racing ma- chine a8 a lubber.y and non-nautical intrusion. Ocean yecnting and ocean races are, in fact, becom. ing both popular and useful, With this principle in view, the “Koyal Cmque Ports Yacht Club” has been formed at Dover, under the umodoreship of Prince Artnur, and with Mr. Brassey, M.

Must Be Corrected—Origin of the Word Itasca. A DAY ALONE IN THE ITASCA Region... Oanoz DOLLY Varna, MrssissiPrt RIVER, NEAR ITASCA LAKE, Munn,, a 10, 1872, } Satisfled, after @ cursory examination, that all former explorers who have gtven publicity to their, discoveries, from Schoolcraft to the present day, had stopped short of the true source of the greatest river of the world, the crew, knowing that the HERALD would not be satisfied wih any incom- plete exploration, determined to make a thorough examination of the vicinity of Itasca. When School- craft visited this region in 1831, at the head of an expedition sent out by the government, he became satisfied alter his long journey through the brush to O-musz-kose Saw-gaw-e-gum, or Elk Lake—as the Chippewas termed this body of water—that the “very source” had been: reached. Re then coined out of two Latin words, Ver-i-tas, ca-put—by elim- inating the first syllable of the first word and the second of the second word—the new name: Itasca, Such, then, having tts origin in a want of proper research, is the ground for the commonly received story that Lake Itasca is the source of the Missis- sippl. The Dolly Varden was rid of every ounce of extra. luggage, all being left with the guide and Indian at the camp near the outlet of Itasca, for the crew was about to start on a voyage in which he might have to carry her on his head. Everything in readiness, @ small bag of hard bread and cold bacon and roast duck on board, THE OREW PUSHED OUT ALONE -on the lake for a thorough circumnavigation of the ‘shore. Under paddle the canos coasted down the eastern side to reach the southeast end of the lake. ‘The soundings to the first landing place at an aver- age of 300 feet from shore, were 19, 15, 8 and 14 feet. -Near the southern point a small stream enters the lake, but does not extend further than 1,500 feet back along the ridge between the edge of a meadow and a hill of pines. Here it is a tiny rivulet which trickles down from the rocks. The crew is satisfied that it does not ow throughout the year, and that it owes even its present size to the recent storms, This is the position of a small stream marked on the map, and two lakes are represented, but the bed of the creek was followed until it was clearly seen that such lakes did not exist. ‘The crew then returned to the canoe and crossed to Schoolcraft Island, finding tweive feet of water about midway. It was not Shanes best to make & landing at this point, out the shoe was followed on the side toward the mainland. The channel which separates the island is not more than 800 feet in width at the broadest peint. The island bears the same general direction as the lake, its extremities being located northwest and south- east.

That which the crew now most de- sired to see next to the true source of the river was @ homan being. Except the Indian and guide he had not seen a man, living or dead, for more than four days. Everything was as primitive and deserted asin the heart of Africa, Crossing to the Tamarac forest, which bounds the lake on the southern side, it was found to be quite swampy in fee The long tramp of two days ago through just such & swamp was still unforgotten, Although fokines landings were made the cruise continued unfil, at the southwestern angle of the lake, A SMALL INLET stream el, wie was seen, from which issued & of clear water.

The inlet had not been easy of navigation by any mei and growing much shallower, after the first 160 feet, several portages had been made by i. ging the boat across the sticks and logs in the marac swamp. The lake was not more than from. one thousand to twelve lundred feet in diameter, and about circular in shape. It was quite shallow, with considerable grass in places, The crew crossed to the op) ite side, and found it a floating —a large lake, in fact, with a sod floating at one side, thus narrowing it down to the circular.lakelet. which had at first appeared. Beyond this bog, after a long tramp THROUGH WATER TO THE KNEES, no other streams or open lakes could be found. The same was found to be true after the lake was completely circumnavigated; there are no other streams of water flowing-into this lake. From this bog it is, doubtless, that the Indian found the etream flowing which connects the Red River with the Misslasipp Here then THE SOURCE of the longest tiver in the world; here in Cass -county, Minnesota, in a small lake, scarcely one- quartet of @ mile in diameter, in the midst of a oating , are the fountains which give birth to the Mississippi.

It was strange to realize what a change the view of the lake beyond had wrought in the esthetic taste of the crew. The lake was crossed toward the northward in the direction of an opening in the forest which ared to be the entrance of a stream, The northern end of the lake is skirted by a fine beach and a forest of hard wood. A small stream was found flowing in from north northwest, but after a short walk up its channel the crew was confirmed in his belief that the only perennial stream entering Lake Itasca is the iniet from Dolly Varden Lake. Camp was reached at sunset, and the crew found tte aoe of fish, bacon, canned peaches, tea and hard bread awaiting him, ‘The guide and Indian have everything ready fora start, and the tramp back to the point at which the main part of the Tole uee and luggage were left this morning wil} gin at once. ous 18 THE BOUL IMMORTAL? Dr. Marvin at the Liberal Club, *.° Yesterday evening Dr. Frederic R. Marvin lectnred before the Liberal Club on immortality. He said :— ‘The thought of a future life is not so old as the human race, nor is {t inherent in human nature, There were ages when the future life was neither hoped for nor dreamed of. The history of the past is the history of development, and we are what the t has made us. All the organs in our Had are the results of development — our Drains as well as our stomachs and livers, Thought and d. ition are alike the products of de- velopment.
