Whether at any future tinm it will he voucheafect to nioatals to reacth the pole is a matter as to whicae, for vari- ous tree:emus eonsiaerable aoubit loay be entertained. Bett would such an achi- evement be desirable. We assert the emetaary quite seriously. If any one really got to the pole he would., in common parlance, bie ubterly "ret sea." simely beceaste at the pole %sere is no possibility of ascertaining one'e wlhereabouts. A person arriving ;there would Sind an altogether differ- ent woirld before him, Like a blind men be, would grope about arid vainlar endeavor to get baelc svihenee he eame, Tbis by no means enviable situation is calculated to deseroy the illusions svaieb he may have cherished when starting on his polar expedition. His eompletely eltangeci situation would be emanated for by She faot that when stationea at the pole the dErection of the norith would be found to eoineide with the line of the zenith—that is to say, the 'point EXACTLY ABOVE US. alhe opposite poiuta-viz., the nadir— woala eoineide with the • direction to the South. The longitu4ina,1 cirdes,and hence also the meridian of the local- ity would coincide with the circles of latitude; an equator would coincide witlh, the horeizon, Hence an astrono- mical determination of uha 100filitr, ac- cording to lati bade and loegitude, is al- togetfaer precluded.. . Tlhe same may be said as edgardsde- termining one's bearings in any dir- ection. The compass, too, will fail there, because its horizontal intensity se so slight as to preclude bhe possibil- ity of its action. 'Ilse ouly criterion for judging that one 'has arrived at the pole is that the observed latitude of the sun, after Slaving been corrected to altitude above the truehorizon, is founci to coincide with the value of the declination of the sun for the day in question. INIoxeover, in ltlhose regions there is scarcely a day on Which dense fogs do not prevail, and or more degrees, C. of cold, such as mostly exist there, will enhance the difficulties of observation to suclh an extent that it oan only be a question of approximate estimates.. Stuck conditions are by no means envi- able, andare scarcely catoulated to induce us to long for them with all our hearts. But these are not the only things which are likely to make a sojourn at the pole a never-ending torment. Worse than all the rest, one cannot count tae passing timers there; in oth- er words, there is no criterion for det- ermining Me time of day. Daring a period of six months the sun will NEITHER, RISE NOR SET but during itree wihole of the time will always :remain either above ..or below the Ittonizon. As the. earth revolves around. 'its axis is 24 hours, tine sun apparently describes, during the same interval, a cirettit of 300 degrees around the sky, being visible at an altitude equal to the declination. Ivthenevel: de- clination is 'of She same name as the pole at ifeach the observer is stationed. Ile numerous attempts hitherto 'made to reach Ike pole, heve, as a mat- ter of course, been by water—that is to say, by ehips, and sledges.

A.nclrests Maekenzie, one of the pipers of the Sea- forths, marched ahead of his comrades, playing, "Bonnie Dundee" with weird energy. When the first men reached the Dervish earthworks they were checked for a moment.

The wounding of Findlater took place three parts across the belt which the Gordons were rushing with fixed bay- onets. "1 had got on a little bit," he recalled, " when I felt a touch on one of my left toes. Thatwas the glance of a bullet, but no harm had been done.

Spaniards have invariably succeeded as guerrillas up to the pres- ent time. If they Iron no great bat- tles. they at least held their own ground or prevented the enemy from oceupying it. In Caba, however, things have been different, The Spaniards met their equals, if not their superiors in tae insurgents.

The physicial features of Lhe coun- try are in the highest degree favor- able to the operations ol guerrillas. The land is traversed by great moun- tain ranges, the slopes of which are covered with dense forests. Therein a whole army corps may securely con- ceal itself from an enemy only a few • feet away. 'The roads are so rugged and universally had that regular mili- tary operations can be, carried on only with the atm.ost difficulty. The rough country, roads generally follow tor- tuous mountain streams and are conse- quently so full of bends, turns and windings that the making of an am- buscade is easy at almost any point, and in every mile many almost insur- inountable obstacles to the marching of troops may be pat up. Napoleon learned this to his cost when he deposed Ferdinand and set up Joseph Bonaparte as king. The people rebelled, and. between 1808 and 1813 the French had only the cities; the country was in the hands of the Spaniards, and they could not be dis- lodged. Slovvly and by force of su- perior numbers Napoleon pacified Spain ranch the same as Weyler pacified Cu.ba. The people were repressed, but not subduea. In a desultory way they continued the warfare, even when the he nation had been declared to ,be paci- • fied, and tlosses they inflicted ap- on the 'French at this time were ire - Bonaparte seated securely on bis throne. Posseasing the cities and ports, he could collect the revenues and maintain the government, but to do it he bad to employ the methods recently adopted in Cu.ba, by the Spaniards—a campaign of starvation and unrelenting pursuit. His reign might have continued indefinitely had it not been for this rebellion against his power, a rebellion he could not check or repress. The country, in a constant state of insarrection, offered a tempting field for the allied powers, which found here an opportunity to strike Napoleon in the rear. No won- der, therefore, that Wellington and bis Englishmen landed on Spanish soil and gave the French emperor a blow from which he never recovered.

It is recerded that during this war for Spanish independence, me,n arm- ed themselves with straightened scythes, heving no other weapons. They fought with anything that came to hand. The French, by superior streegth. and by themselves adopting guerrilla tactics, attained brief suc- cesses until the women took to fight- ing, They could not withstand the onslaught of women, and when the .English came, too, they suffered signal defeat.

RIOTS IN SPAIN. • Se i en rite 1111(1 °Metals Stoned --A Nob Shot Down. 1111 despatch from Madrid, says :—The situation in. the provinees £sunchanged,, and everywhere the dissatisfaction is growing, especially over the prices of bread. In the thwn of Aguitaa, the Province of Murcia, a mob, mostly ecunposed of women, burned the store. -houses and. offices. • The tisherwomen who broke out against the Octorio dues at Gijon, re- ceived the most determined assistance from the tobacco gerls. Together they saeked several bakeries, and burned all the entree offeces, with all. the Pap- ers belonging to the foeeign ships load- ing• in the herbour. The civil guard was botly storied. at the prison, and the nion marcheu off with the iron bars of the gaol. When the troops appeared. they were hotly stoned, replying with fire and wounding many. The mob then attacked. the Government build- ings a,nd smashed the windows. The troops again fired, this time from the balconies„ and, wounded many; but the women kept on throwing stones.

A despatch from Gibraltar, says Most alarming rumours are prevalent here regarding the situation in Mad- rid. Is reported that Campos Moret has beexr assassinated, and that Prem- ier Sagasta hes sought refuge in the British Embassy from tbe fury of the mob. From a high official source here a have information that the, situation in Madrid is exceedingly, serious. Not only is the city in a state of siege but there has been rioting and firing in the streets, I have no means oC veri- fying the news. The Carlists are ex- ceedingly itetive, and are sending ou.t eirculars to excite the Spanish people to revolution. I have just seen. a caa- ou,lar received by a Spaniard here. It, holds Don Carlos up as being the only true patriot in Spainand freely attacks the Government for treachery,. It says that the moment for revolation has come.
