Greenland’s icy mountains (remarks the Graphic) turn out to bo as barren and for bidding as the magic lantern lectures of our childhood always assured us, and Baron ISordenskjold is returning without having discovered that agricultural Eldo rado which it was hoped he would have found in the interior. He telegraphs to the Times that—“ An inland ice party started on July 4th from Anleitswik Fjord, on the western coast. When they were about ninety miles east of the glacier border, and about 5,000 feet above the sea level, they were prevented by soft snow from proceeding with sledges. They sent the Laplanders further on snow shoes. These advanced nearly 143 miles eastward over a continual snow desert and to a height of nearly 7,000 feet. The conditions for a snow free interior did not exist here, but this expedition, during which men have reached for the first time the interior of Greenland, has given important results as to nature of the in terior of an ice-covered continent. Over the whole island there is ice. ” On Aug. ;16 the expedition sailed southwards, and after visiting a fiord where remains dating from the Norman period were found, Professor Nordensjold reached Reikevick on September 9th. The observations on the sea temperature showed that the cold current which packs the ice along the east coast of Greenland is very insignifi cant, that the glaciers of the east coast are few and of no great size, and that the fiords are free from ice. Probably the coast may be reached by suitable steamers in the autumns of most years.

An evil and its remedy.—tj the Editor, —It is ahealthy sign ofthe times when our local papers are beginning to deal in a fearless manner with bankrupts and the bankruptcy laws. The time has come when something must be done either by the legisla ture or by business men themselves to put an end to a state of affairs which is a disgrace to our boasted civilisation. We (the under signed) have been doing business in Ashbur ton about years, and the money we have lost during that period by bankrupts, levan ters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to oe rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved to sell for cash only n future. The honest man who is willing to pay his 20s in the £, and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give our customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class style—but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. Under the cash system we are prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices : —Gentleman’s suit made to order, £2 18s 6d; ladies’' tailor made ulster, £2, All other goods in proportion, for cash only.
