DR.. Kane, the Arctic Bxplorer.

Doctor Elisha Kent Kane is not quite
thirty-four years old, yet he has done more
than circumnavigate the globe; he has visited
and trayersed India, Africa, Europe, South
America, the islands of the Pacific, and twice
penetrated the Arctic region to the highest
latitude attained by civilized man.
As boy, his instructive bent impelled him
to the indulgence and enjoyment of such adj
ventures as were best fitted to train him for
the work before him. His collegiate studies
suffered some postponement while his physi-
cal qualities pressed for their necessary train
ing and discipline. 1t was almost in the
spirit of truaney that he explored the Blue
Mountains of Virginia, as student of geol-
ogy, under the guidance of Professor Rodgers.
and cultivated, at once, his hardihood of vital
energy and those elements of natural science
which were to qualify him for his after SER
vices in the field of physical geography
But, in due time he returned to the pursuit
of literature aud achieved the usual honors,
as well as though his college studies had suf-
fered no dyerson--his muscles and nerves
were educated, and his brain lost nothing by
the indirectness of its developement, but was
rather corroborated for all the uses which it
has served since. He graduated at the Uni
sersity of Pennsylvania in its collie
giate, and afterwards, in its medical, depart
mcnt. His special relishes in study indicated
his natural drift; chemistry and surgery;
natural science in its most intimate converse
with substance, and the remedial art in its
most heroic functions. He went out from his
alma later good classical scholar, good
chemist, mincralogist, astronomer and sur
geon. But he lacked, or thought he lacked,
robustness Of frame and soundness Of health.
lie solicited an appointment in the navy, and
upon bis admission, demanded active service
lie was appointed upon the diplomatic staff
as surgeon to the first American Embassy to
China. This position gave him opportunity
to explore the Philippine Islands, which he
effected mainly on foot. He was the first
man who descended into the crater of Tael;
lowered more than hundred feet by BAN
boo rope from the oyerhanging cliff and
clambcring down some seven hundred more
through the scori@, he made a Typographical
sketch of the interior of this great volcano,
collected bottle Of sulphurous acid from the
very mouth of the crater; and, although he
was drawn up almost senseless, he brought
with him his portrait of this hdeous cavern,
and the specimens which it afforded.
Before the return from this trip he had as
cendcd the Himalayas, and trangulated
Greece on foot; he had visited Ceylon the
Upper Nile, and all the Hydrologic region of
Egypt; trayersing the route, and making
the acquaintance Of the learned Lipsius, who
was then prosecuting his archaeological re-
searches

hair brown, and his eyes dark gray, with a

from all his adventures, but he has several
wounds which are troublesome; and, with
such general health as his, most men would
call themselves invalids and live on furlough

A SIGNIFICANT PoLTIcAL RUMoR.--It is
understood that the rank ank file-the young
America OF the Democratic party, have a.
dopted new programme for the next cam
palgn, which is intended to unite the party
upon proposition to exclude Messrs Gwin
and Broderick from the next Senatorial con-
test. 1t is alleged, with truth, by this young
harmony wing, that the bitter contest for
seat in the Senate which which has been
waged for the past three years in the Demo-
cratic party by these gentlemen and their
friends, has nearly destroyed its prestige and
and power, and that hereafter they must give
place to new men,
The plan of action is to require a pledge
from every individual Democratic candidate
for the Legislature that, under no eircum-
stances, will they vote for either Gwin or
Broderick for the u S. Senate. This is
the rumor, which we give for what it may be
worth. There may be truth in it, as we know
of several new Democratic candidates for
the u. S. Senate
