The New Arctic Expedition.


the expedition in search Of Sir John
Franklin, fitted out under the direction
of Lady Franklin, writes as follows to
the Chairman of the Liverpool Shipown-
ers' Association:
| intend to sail about the end of June,
from Aberdeen, and proceed to Barrow's
ctrsit-ascertain that the provisions,
stores, and boats left at Fort Leopold
and Beechy Island by the recent search
ling expedition are in good order, in the
event Of my having to fall back upon
them,-examine the state of the ice in
Peel Strait, and, if practicable, proceed
down it into the unknown area.
Should l not succeed here, intend
to return to Port Leopold, and proceed
down Prince Regents Inlet to Bellot
Strait, and there make another attempt
to pass into and through the field Of
search to Victoria Land, where shall
winter, and, in the ensuing spring, be-
fore the thaw sets in, complete the en-
tire exploration and search by means of
sledges drawn by men and by dogs.
In endesvoring to reach Victoria Land
it is my intention to avoid, if possible
any risk of becoming involved in the
ice; and should not succeed in reach
ling Victoria Land, / will return to Bel
lot Strait to pass the winter, as we know
by experience that the retreat of the ship
from there amounts almostto acertainty.
From Victoria Land the homeward voy-
age is equally certain, but by way of
Behring Straits.
The means of accomplishing Lady
Franklin's object, the completion Of
The search, and now placed at my dis
possl arc ample. The vessel is three
masted screw schooner yacht, with fore
topsail and topgaAant sail; the topsail
reefs from the deck; she is decidedly q
clipper-diagonally built, 1872 feet long
over all, 800 tons builders measurement,
with light draught Of water; trunk en-
gines, of thirty horse power crew num-
bering thirty individuals, including an
Esquimaux interpreter.
| Almost all will be old shipmates ofmy
own in former Arctic voyages they
shall be fed and clothed as in the Gov
eminent expeditions, and receive double
pay. / therefore anticipate no difficult
ty in keeping up precisely the same dis
cipline as that which we found to ans
wer so well in the three Arctic expedi-
tons in which ] have served. The YES
sci is now in the hands of Messrs. Hall,
OF Aberdeen, tor the purpose of being
fortified, by means of doubling, extra
hold--beams, stringers, &c. to en-.
able her TO withstand ice-pressure; and
upwards of 100 men are at work upon
lher. All Arctic men agree in pronoun-
cling her to be the best adapted vessel
ever selected for Arctic service. From
her sharp midship section she will rise
to ice pressure which would crush in the
sides of wall sided vessel. Her speed,
under steam, when deep, is expected to
be six knots.
She will carry five weeks fuel for full
speed, and two and a half years provis-
lions-being enough to last us for Sec
ond winter, should we unavoidably be
detained, Ibelieve have nothing more
to add, except to say that the volunteer
offers of service from officers, seamea
and l2ndsmen, are very numerous; and
as have already secured the very best
of naateriei, SO hope, also, to be FORUM
ate with the personnel of the expedition
Two young ladies in Patterson N. J.

Much pains had been taken by mother
to ornament the grave of her son, and
Just as the flowers were blooming most
beautifully, thoy were all taken away by

State, secreted solely for safe keeping"

H Who of our lady friends will nor
thank us for the following very simple
plan to keep Butter cool and hard during
this hot weather, which we copy from
the Scientific american;
Procure large new flower not. of
sufficient size to cover the butter plate,
and also sucer large enough for the pot
to rest in upside down; place trivet OF
meat stand, such as is sent to the oven
when a joint is baked, in the saucer, and
put on this trivet the plate Of butter; now
fill the saucer with water and turn the
fower-pot over the butter, SO that its
edge VII be just below the water. The
hole in the hower-pot must be fitted with
a cork ; the butter will then be in what
we call an air-tight chamber. Let the
whole outside of the fower-pot be
thoroughly drenched with water, and
place it in as cool place as you can
If this be done over night, the butter
will be as "frm as a rock" at breakfast
time; or, if placed there in the morning
the butter will be quitehard foruse at tea
} hour. The reason for this is that when
the waterevaporates, itporous pot draws
up the water in warm weather quickly
evaporates from the sides and thus cools
: it, and as no warm air can now get at
the butter it becomes firm and cool in
the hottest day.
