years and ice by his hallowed sympathy
for the fate Of the daring adyenturer.-
And he himself is entitled to the hearty
sympathies of the world, for the world
has rarely Witnessed a more gallant and
self-sacrificlng spirit than the veteran
Ross displays in this expedition.
Thus we have three distinct parties.
each actuated by the highest motives
and impelled by the ardor Of personal
renown fravcrsing as occasion favors
them the stern recesses of the polar seas.
They are now all reported at nearly, the
remotest north-westerIy point Of past dis
covery, and there il is probable they will
winter. In the ensuing summer they will
be on the spot to pursue investigation, the
moment they are released from the bon
dage Of the ice, and there is hardly
doubt but some tidings ofSir John Frank
lin will be obtained in the course of the
season. At all events, the locality will
be thoroughly explored; opportunity for
further discovery, and more minute OBJ
serva'on than has been hitherto enjoyed
in that region, will, we have no doubt,
be open TO them and while all these
gallant adventures are entitled 10 our
kindliest sympathies, as we enjoy the
comforts of domestic life we may antci-
pate, on the renewal of intercourse with
them, variety of developments tributary
to general and scientific knowledge.
SCENE IN RAILROAD CARA Bos-
ton dandy, dressed in the extreme Of
fashion, and wearing huge moustache,
while travelling in n railroad car in
Massachusetts, amused himself and fell
low passengers by display of wit at
the expense Ola. green looking Vermont
er, who occupied seat near him. JON
athan paid little or no attention to him
until the dandy had well nigh exhaus-
ted his stock ofblackguardism, when he,
for the first time, looked towards the seat
occupied by the dandy. As his eyes
fell upon that parsonage, he looked sur
prised-his face grew radiant, and re-
laxing his bronzed features into sort
of grin. he arose and strobe across
the car towards him.
"Wall, | swow p commenced the
Vermcnter, as he grasped TIE dandy's
skinny hand within his own, and gave
il a tremendous squeeze, "who'd
thought it didn't hardly know you at
first. say, ole feller, how dye do p
Pm really glad to see ye."
Here shrek from the dandy, follow =
ed by volley of curses, as he drew his
almost crushed hand from the crap.
caused Jonathan to halt suddenly in his
exclamation, and commence apo!ogis-
ing for his rudencss
swow, didn't meac to hurt your
hand, but il does seem good TO meet
old 'quaintances, specially among stran-
gers ;p'raps, though, you don't rcmem-
Der me, but do you, and that's jst as
we'll"
"What do you mean, you impudent
pup 2" exclaimed the dandy, his sallow
face crimsoned with anger.
"Oh, Mister, there's no use in fash
ing up, you can't deny it,"
"Deny what 2" demanded the dandy
emphatically.
81 say, Mister" continued Jonathan,
not needing the interruption, and with
knowing wink of the eye, how long
since you got out 2"
"Do you mean to insult gentloman?''
shouted the dandy, springing from, his
seat.
L" Be quiet friend, 'said jonathan, and
then continued didn't they use you
well thcre-did'nt give you,good fodder,
eh or wasn't your cage large enough7"
"Begone, you scoundrc ~ shouted
the dandy huskily.
{" say, Mister, have you got that
ring off your neck yet continued jon
athan, seizng hold of the stiffly starch
ed collar of the other with such force as
to start il from its foundation and cause
il to hang by one corner down the
dnndy's neck.
This was too much, the dandy could
not endure il. Pale and trembling with
anger, he attempted TO speak, but words
! failed him.
"Look 'ere friends" said Jonathan,
addressing the amazed passengers
while he took the dandy by the arm and
turned him round two or three times,
so as 10 expose him to their view, "p'raps
YOU don't know il but THIS ~ the SAME
OuRAsG OuTAsG THAT WAS EXHIBITED
At rnE NENAGERiE THAT CAME TO VER-
MONT A MONTH AGO ~
The roars ef laughter that rang
through the cars at this announcement
was really alarming every ono was
seized with CONSERVATION, and the con-
|. ductar came into the car 10 see what the
matter was. At the next station, the
dandy left the train, with bitter curses
falling from his lips.
