The following 1usl trlOuIe 70 Or. Aahe' is from the N. Y. Times. The Doctor 8 career has indeed beeR remarkable one {: pr. Kane and the Grinnol Expedition.
 Certainly DO man of the age has gradua- ted in such course of preparatory disci- plne as he to whom is now iulrusied the search Esr the long lost navigator. He has taken his diploma in the College of Dan. gers. ln the brief enumeration of his studies we find him iramping for several
 weeks on foot through the orange groves Of Brazil, then for Q month chasing the li-
 ger near Bombay; then a surgeon of an America0 Legation to China, where, aiter
 numerous unavailing efforts, to penetrate
 the forbidden portions of the celestial re- 1 RiOns, he goes to the Philippines and sOc-
 ceeds, through the good offices Oi the monks
 of the interior of Manila, in visiting it's
 Businesses and exploring it's volcanic won ders; then with bamboo cord around his
 waist, descending 200 feet below the brink,
 into the great crater of Tael. returning
 with hol,Ie of it's sulphur waters, and leaving his crisped boots amid it's cinders and lava |; then again visiting China and encounlering shipwreck he passes to India as physician of the Dremendhar DagOre, and for ;hree months from his paisnquin iuuks UuI upon the gtOrieS of that country which displays in prodigali,y it's physical wonders, and gathers around it the most TO- mantle associations; il.en we trace him in the Upper Egypt and Abyssinnia, imprint. lng the temporary footsteps of the camel on the shifting sands, ,raversing the Saha- ra to the base of Jupiter AMm0n-at the imminent risk of life, applying his ears 10 the lips of Memnon, that speak their nor. mug words high in the clouds severa! weeks with Professor Lepsius, disturbing the ancient dust of the Pharaohs, again wrecked as he descended the Nile-woUnd- ed in comba, near Alexandria, then hunt ing out each scene of interest in classic Greece, and sleeping under the sky that arches the shore of Marathon, then whirl- ing through Italy, France and England. then cruising on the coast OF Africa, he avals himself of his Brazilian acquaintance, and is permitted 10 penetrate the interior and examine tue whole machinery of the slave trade, then fighting with the cons, fever, and though coming off conquerOr, yet so disa bled as 10 be obliged to return home an invalid, then volunteering for Mexico, carrying messages 10 Gen. Scott, in mad race through the country our troops had Jeff at Perote obtaining an es- cort of miscreant spy company, and be" coming involved in a series of fights, he received the swords of Gen. Gaona and Gen. rorreiohn, had his horse killed under him, and was himself most desperately wounded in protecting the lives of his pr!s~ Oners against his own men.
 We next find him engaged in hydrogra- pnic service on the coast survey. Then as surgeon of the expedition in search Of lhe Sir John Franklin, spending long and iisu1di winter on the frozen waters Of the Polar Seas, then returning amidst the con- gratulaiions of his countrymen; he descends from the latitude of an iceberg to the heat of the lecture room, and lays before the people the result of his northern invesliga- tions-and we now see him, thus familiar, ized with every peril and accliinated in every region having successfully struggled with the rice fever in the Canton river, with the plague in Egypt, with the yellow fever at Rio, with ,he cOngesiive at Puebla, with the African fever on the coast, with an or. | ganic disease Of the heart, which has from boyhOod been assailing the citadel of life with most dangerous wounds.
 Thus disciplined and accredited we see this young, slender and plastic American. under aid of benevolence that siretches beyond home and country, lreigh,ing his stout ships, now in our harbOr with the im-1 plemenls and means of subsistence which are necessary lOr him tO undertake sec- Ond novel expedition, to find, if 1t be possi. ble, amidst the ices of the Pole, the form, living or dead, O: that gallant explorer, au,hn snkm fad 0ae inieres. Of the nations.

Grader and more sub lime are these defiant, g'aeisa mountains, those formidable masses of snow, the weird glimmering of the long twilight. the stretch. ed out night--the electric flashes that dari to the zenith and counterfeit the day, than the gardens of the world, where the orien. tal sunshine, fruits and flowers, and the gorgeous exubevance of natures vegeta" lion, lull and soothe our dreamy senses into a pleasing iner,ness. The imagination bounds with new vigoF, and seeks to pierce ,he unirodden regOns--the home of the Borealis. around which the Rlit.eriug bate dement's Ol ice stretch the effectuai guard Tbere is rich music 10 the ear of the ad- venlurous in the wild wall of those mourn ful frozen seas, whose whirling snow drifts, that cracking crumhling ice that holds him momentssiy os iI'e precipice Of danger, and there is beauty io Eis eye in the va

 So long. as there remains one Iesi of inc l vast volume of nature to be turned over, whether i, he in tie crsiers Of her volca"

 whether in festive moments she lies 'n smi' ling beauty, or flowers in verdure, or wraps
