The Arctic REeToNs.--The mosquitoes
are more troublesome in the regions Of per-
petual ice and snow, than they are in hot
ATTITUDES. Some of the officers of the Brit
ish sloop Of war Trneomalee, recently at
San Francisco, from Port Clarence, in Beh-
rings Straits, say that the mosquitoes were
more numerous than in Central America
They inhaled them by the mouthful, and
could not walk out without handkerchief
or veil over their faces.
The natives are extremely docile, aud
very intelligent: but as is the case with the
Esquimaux, generally, very lazy. The on
ly wood they can procure is that drifted
from-no one knows where-out of which
by management Of walrus tusks and whale
bone, they ccntrive admirable spears aud
bows and arrows, for killing the seal and
bear, Of which animal their winter stock Of
food is formed. During the latter part Of
the winter, they are reduced to a state Of
semi-sIaryation, and then are even content
to eat the hides Of animals, in which fare
their dogs-a noble looking breed-have a
share, Que mode they have of catching
the bear, is by piece of frozen blubber
in which is doubled piece Of whplebone
the animal greedily swallows it--the blub,
Der thawS, the whalebonc stretches, and
the brute dies in agony.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE Navy.
The annual report Of the Secretary Of the
Navy recommends an additional but grad
ual increase of the Navy its re-organiza-
ton and the enactment Of new regulations
TOR the discipline and improvement of sea-
men.
Lieutenant Strain and party are compli-
menied for enterprise aud exhibition OF pow
ers Of endurance and generous deyOtion to
duty in the exploration Of the Darien Ship
Canal route.
The result Of, the expedition is, according
to 1t. Strains report, that the proposed
canal is wholly impracticable and this the
Secretary apprehends settles the question
forever.
He renews his recommendation Of last
year Of the plan to induce seaman to be-
come permanently attached to the Navy,
by granting conditional leave of absensc al
the end of cruise and increased pay on
re-enlstment.
Prof Maury's achievements in develop
ing his theory Of winds and currents, and
his preparation Of charts, are noticed most
flatteringly. 1t is estimated that the sav.
ing to our commerce by the use of his
charts, would amount to several millions
per annum.

The WAY THEY GET Drink IN CONNECT
IcUr.-A letter, speaking of the prohibito-
ry law in Connecticut, says:
" A novel mode Of supplying the wants
Of those who thirst after fre-water, is now
in successful operation in Hartford. A
person (if a Stranger) is conducted by one
of the knowing ones into building in u
hy-srreet, and after going up stairs and
down stairs, through Railways and various
winding ways, finally arriving in room on
one side of which is a small round hole in
the wall, in which is a small dumb waiter;
over it is inscribed 1.-THE wheel of fortune. y
A person wishing 10 try his fortune, writes
upon small card, and with piece of mon
ey, pnts it in the hands Of the dumb wait
cr; away goes the waiter, aud shortly re-
turns with a glass Of Otard, punch, or any
thing you may have desired. Inquire who
keeps this place. and the answer comes
through the small hole, in hoarse voice
"a Know Nothing"
, 1855-03-17

SAM.-Gen Houston's Christian name is
not Samuel, but Sam. He was christianed
just after the revolution, and when "Uncle
Sam" was the substituted and common
term used for United States, and his father
being one of the patriots, and in rather in
digent circumstances, consulted both pa
trio.sm Hnd economy, and called his son
Sam, after Uncle Sam, feeling himself too
poor to give him name with more than
Que syllable. His mother demurred to it
at first, being a very pious Presbyterian
and having great veneration for the name
of Samuel, one Of the old prophets, but
Sam early exhibiting some Of the boyish
sparks kindled and thrown of in the revo-
luton, she became reconciled to the short
name of one syllable, and delighted 10 call
him her darling Sam. So says the New
York Americas Own" a Know Nothing

Consul Muller - In publishing the
speech Of the British Consul General to
the King of the Sandwich Islands, against
the annexation to the United States, the
Washington Globe calls up some reminis-
cences Of that gentleman's career which
has been somewhat adventurous and desul-
tory, but not discreditable. He is not q
British general; the title is Peruvian. He
was good many years in the Peruvian
army, und known TO be brave and ener-
getic officer. He was Of the Santa Cruz
party, and went down and went out with
the chief in 1889. after the dissolution of
the Pcru-Bolvian confederation, which
was extinguished by the Chilians at the
battle Of Yangay, for the same reason and
under the same pretextS that the Allies
are now trying to put bit in the mouth
Of the Gar, that Peru-Bolivia was too
powerful, and endangered the safety Of the
other States on the Pacific. Soon after,
lie was appointed British Consul at the Ha-
wana Islands, and has resided there ever
since. The editor Of the Globe, who resi-
ded some time in South America, speaks Of
him from personal knowledge, as not a
statesman, nor publicist, nor lawyer nor
merchant nor diplomatist, nor in any man
ner particularly qualified for the Office be
fills. lie is said to be honorable, however,
no intriguer or trickster, and is frank, or
rather rude and offensive in his address.
He is little rabid on the subject of annex
alton, as if it were OF any great import
ance to England whether it took place or
not. But it is evident that he acted with
out any special instructions, and is not
likely, in the present state Of affairs, to be
sanctioned by the Cabinet at home.

What is mountain 1t is to one man
a mine, where treasure may be had; to an.
other, pasturage for nocks, or a site for a
house; to the artist, it is chrome lake, yel-
low ochre, burnt sienna and indigo; to the
gcOlosist, it is trap, quartz, schist, lime.
stone, sandstone hornblend, calix, and the
like; to the poet it is temple and throne,
an oracle of pines, ladder Of angels, a
landing place for Mercury. To most men
Il is-a mountain, and nothing more
