A wife's love is the golden ehain whieh unites her to her husband. It has a thousand links, torged by sympathy, self respect and mutual confidence; sever but one of them and the ehain is as completely broken as though a hundred were destroyed. San Francist!o, through the Western Union Telegraph Company's lines and the Atlantic Cable, is now in direct eommunication with Saigon, and all parts of Cochin Ch:na. The tariffis 829.25 from Lor>don, and from San Francisco to London 813, making a total of $42.25. Western papers state that it is a fnshionable and friendly thing in Cnicago to tell a blushing bride who has been married by Dr. Cheeney, tbat you have heard that the best legal authoritys say that a marriage by him is iliegal, and you think it is just a putup job of her husband's. The lady student who carried off the ehemieal prize at the University of Eilin. burg was the highest of two hundred and forty candidates. Having been declared ineligible to receive the prize on account of her sez. Sir Titus Salt sent her $100, but she declined to accept it. After many years of observation the Revohhon bas discovered that, as a rule, women are expected to be !ound fault with and adored ; coorted, married, quarreled with, de-! serted, divorced ; played with and plagued, and only really venerated when she becomes a mother aod goes to heaven. By having his wits about him and a plentiful supply of eggs, Mr. Joseph Hale succeeded io saving the Ifie of his wife last week, in Portland, who, in a fitofabstraction, had swallowed a dose of corrosive sublimate, thinking it was laudanum. Given over by the frightened neighbors for as good as dead, her husband at onee administered to the terrified victim the whites of 15 eggs, whieh completely neutralized the effects of the poison.

Saiuxg of thb Polaris.—The Arctic ship Polaris (Capt. Hail) left her raooring at the Brooklyn Wavy Yard on the afternoon of the 29th, about 3 o'eioek, and started on her Anie voyage. Her departure was known to but a few persons ashore. The Polaris goes frora henee to New London, and will stop there only long enough to procure a secoc<i engineer in the plaee of the one who deserted. She will then proceed to St. iohn'B, where she will stop and take in eoal and water, and from there to Drisco, a Danish settlementon the coast of Greenland, tbe station of sapplies, and will await the «nival of the provision-ship Supply. Thenee the Polaris will proceed along the west coast of Greenknd until she reaches Jones' Sound, wbere the iee begins. From that plaee, wheie the first Winter quarters of the expedition will be established, Capt. Hall will send oot rarious expldring parties. The Captain erpects to be gone six years, unless his reseaithes should be specially fortunate. His pnneipal «bject in making tbe expedition is not to discover the Northwest passage, as has been generally stated, but to, if possible, reach the open Polar Sea, whieh has been »o mueh dwelt upon in Capt. Kane's hook.
