g!'Some idea may be formed Of the fero-
city of.the walrus from the fact that the
battle which Morton witnessed. not with.
out sharing some Of its danger, lasted for
hours; during which the animal rushed
continually at the Esquimaux as they ap.
preached. tearing off great tables of ice
with his tusks. and showing no indica.
lions OF fear whatever. He received up.
wards Of seventy lance rwounds-MOrton
counted over sixty; and even then he re-
mained hooked by his tusks to the mar.
gin of the ice, unable or unwilling to re-
tire. His female fought in the same mans
ner. but fed on receiving a. a.lance wound.
The ,Esquimaux seemed to be fully
aware of the danSer..of venturing TOO
near; Tor at the onset Of, the wslrus they
jumped back far enough to be clear of the
broken ice. Morton describes the last
three hours as wearing, on both sides.
the aspect of an unbroken and seemingly
doubtful combat.-Dr. Kane's Arctic Er.

DALI h1EEh'- the eulLOr Oh the New
York Dispatch, being asked to state the
origin Of the much used political phrase,
=" Up Salt River" replied thus:
=p We have read and heard various anec-
dotes accounting for the origin of this
phrase, but none Of them seem so sa,is-
factory to US as the following: Shortly
after the admission Of Missouri, a
candidate for Congress was defeat
ed by an overwhelming majority in
that State. Indeed. SO badly was he beat
en- that he determined to leave the dis
t'ict in which he ran forthwith, without
consulting his neighbors. He retired to
the neighborhood of Florida, Monroe
county. Shortly after. on being inquired
for by sympathising friends. they were in
formed that he had gone up Salt River
Salt River. Mo-. is formed by three
branches which unite near Florida. 1t
flows thence east, and after serpentine
course Of eigllty.ive miles, enters the
MISSISSIPPI ii river in Pike county. Small
steamboats, can ascend from its mouth to
Florida. There being Salt River in
Kentucky, which empties into the Ohio.
a similar story is reported Off gentleman
who ran for Governor there some years
ago, who was. like the would be Con.
gresham. badly beaten '..' q, 1- ..'.
We imagine the true explanation of the
phrase in question is to be found in the
fact that Salt River is such a crooked
stream that when a fellow is "rowed up
to it's source. heis not likely. very soon.
if ever. to find his way back again.
