-H EvenjngCapital An Independent Journal. WM. M. ABBOTT. Editor. .Zfc.ITSTA.T-Oi.TS. W 3. WEDNESDA Y. AUGUST 21, 1884. Thk Evening Capital is for sale at all the book-stores in the city, where sub scriptions may be left, ami the paper will lie delivered promptly every evening at flee o'clock, by careful and reliable ear riers. A writer asks “what has become of the Mayor’s report?” We refer him to his Hi nor. the Mayor. I’ t.ANcK is betrinuing to recognize now what should have long before this occurred to her, that there are other nations besides China interest ed in preserving China**, independ ence. A woman-beater iu Cincinnati is starving himself to death. His re morse is probably so great that, un able to bear the delay in bringing him to trial, he has concluded to in flict capital punishment upon him self in that way. It would be much Iwitter to turn him over to a commit tee of these ill-treated women to in fliet their punishment. mam Soon everbody will settle down to business again, and the enterprising merchant and business men of our city will be cogitating how to make their business “boom.” In order to do this in away remunerative to themselves, let them display their goods in the columns of the Capital a paper that is read by nearly every family in the city, beside a number of our country people, and we will as sure them good results. Try it, gen tlemen. X)f the results of the latest Arctic Expedition, the London Athenaeum says: Altogether Lieut. Greely and his party carried out geographical explorations over an area contained within some forty degrees of latitude, to a spot only 30b miles from the Pole, which, for the present, is the most northerly point reached by man. It may, of course, be doubted wheth er the lives of nineteen men and the excruciating sufferings of the six sur vivors are not too dear a price to pay for such discoveries. This is, how ever, a piece of sympathetic casuistry with which the savant has nothing to do. Nor, it may be remarked, were the lives of any of the party lost w€Hst engaged in exploration. In deed, to the activity of mind anybody necessitated by these journeys the remarkable immunity from disease and mortality which for two years distinguished Lieut. Greely’s forlorn hope above any of the costly expedi tions which preceded him in the same region was doubtless due. Archkry in History. —A writer in the London Standard says: Arch ery may be said never to have en tirely gone out of fashion, even after the introduction of “villainous salt petre” and the musket. Edward VI. was fond of the bow, and Charles I. not only practiced it, but encourged its use among his subjects. Charles 11. and his Queen patronized tourna ments of archers, and as late as 1682, a thousand bowmen competed at a grand fete given by the London Artillery Company. In Cromwell’s time the weapon was not entirely banished from the army, and Charles 11. had his Keener of the Bows. At Chester on Shrove Tuesday and Easter Monday, the Archers shot for prizes provided by the bridegrooms of the past year; and at Harrow, we believe, is still preserved the silver arrow for which, up to the year 1771, the boys shot annually on the 4th of August, a day associated in the minds of their successor with oratori cal displays. Nor must it be forgot ten that the Queen’s Body Guard in Scotland are the Royal Archers, who always numbered in their ranks the pick of the Scottish aristoc. racy and citizens of Edinburgh. v -ViA --r i
