RELICS OF SIR JOHN FRAHKLINs EXPEDI-
TIoN.-Dr. Rae, the famous overland Arctic
explorer delivered lecture before the Geo.
graphical Society, in New York, on Thurs
day evening, and exhibited some of the rel
les of the expedition of Sir John Franklin,
which he had secured, consisting of spoons
and forks, with the family crest of the lost
navigator; two silver and one gold watch
case, two needless with thread in them, but
tons and other small articles. He said that
he had met several parties OF Esquimaux,
from whom these and other relics had been
obtained He did not believe that Sir John
Franklin 5 party had been murdered, but
was inclined TO believe the story of the Es-
qumaux, which was substantially as fol-
lows.
A party of Esquimaux were off killing
seal. They saw forty white men pass by
with sledges When they (the Esquimaux) J
had finished sealing they followed the tracks
of the sled2es until they came to a low point
of land, where they found lot of bodies in
a wasted condition. Dr. Rae concluded that
they must have died in June, 1850 Sir
John left England in 1915 He had only
three years provisions, which could not be
made 10 last four years in that climate with
out extensive additions. No expedition had
been able to stay four years in so high lati-
tude without getting the scurvy. The Es-
quimaax agreed in saying that there was no
old man in the party; so Sir John must
have gone before. Heasked the Esquimaux
why they did not feed them, but they an
swered that they were almost starved them
selves. Starvation, he found carried off the
Esquimaux at times

PROVIDENCE PURSUING A MURDERER.-The
general facts of the murder of Mr. Bodell, of
Worcester by Rhinehart in..Minnesota, has
been published. The details, however, are
so interesting, that we annex them;
Bodell went to Farribault, Minnesota, to
buy a farm for himself and family. He met
Rhinehart there, who proposed to sell some
land. After looking at it, Bodell said he did
not like it, and he was shown another
While looking at a quarter section stake,
Rhinehart shot him with pistol. He then
cut his victims throat, and buried the body
in q marsh, having borrowed a spade to dig
the grave. The temptation was the money
Bodell had about him, who, being missed,
suspicion arose. and 60 men went forth to
search. After examining the ground for
some time, one of the party stepped over
log on a soft place that drew his attention,
and turning up little dirt, discovered Bo-
dell's carpet bag. This strongly tended to
show that the body was not far of, and con-
tinuing the search, one of the party slipped
down on place on the edge of a marsh, and
to save himself, caught hold of some willows
which he pulled out, and discovered that the
willows had no roots, but had been sharpen
ed with a knife and stu k in for that particu-
lar purpose. Here the party turned over
about foot of dirt, and found the body of
Bodell. On the day of the election, the
18th, Rhinehast> was in Lexington, and was
entertained by his friends by singing, and
playing on the guitar. 1t is believed that
Rhinehart thought that the crime would
never come to light, and has therefore felt
himself perfectly safe, but he will soon be
brought to the scaffold.

nA- The New York Times argues that
the people of that city do not want any re-
form in their municipal affairs The indif-
ference with which they look on at the
stealing and the bribing and all manner of
corruption, the regularity with which, when
one set of harpies drop off, sated with the
blood that they have sucked, another set of
some kind is substituted, are not consistent
with an enlightened interest in the manage
ment public affairs. The public who suf-
fer the wrongs elect the officers who COM
nit them; the men whose property is stolen
sustain the men who steal it; and so long
as they do so, all their complaints are enti-
tied to very little consideration.

How the Price of Bread is Managed
I'm paris.

Every bag of wheat, -four or meal that
comes to the city must be brought to the
Halle au Bile, or Grain Hall. This is an i'm
mense area, enclosed with a circular wall,
and covered by huge dome SO that itpre-
sents vast, unbroken hall, of grand and
beautiful proportions lighted from the top.
Various stalls, with desks, for the offices
of ti.@ oh,rks and employees. On the floor
of tn:a s2ssll are piled up dollhouse fashion,
in huge piles, ten to twenty-five feet high,
the bags of grain, presenting to the visitor a
striking panorama of solid plenty.
The city of Paris is surrounded by wall,
not for defence, as it is comparatively slight,
but simply for police, revenue, and other
municipal purposes, one of which is the re-
gu!2tion of the bread market. Barriers,
that IS gates, with police attendants and
revenue officers, form the only entrance to
the city, except the River Siene, which has
also its guards. Every bushel of wheat or
other grain brought to the city for sale.
must be registered and stored at the grain
hall, under heavy penalties. This regula-
ton is rigidly enforced, which it is easy to
do at the BARRIERS with so bulky an article I;
especially as the bags must be of uniform
size.
From the register of the daily supply, the
government of the city know at any hour
just how many pounds or pecks of grain of
any kind there are in Paris. From an ac-
curate statistics required to be furnished,
they know how much flour or meal is
baked daily at each bakery, and how much
bread of all kinds is consumed. They are
therefore able to fix the weight and price of
loaves, each size and shape of which has its
appropriate name, according to the ratio be-
tween supply and demand, allowing fair
and just profit to producers, traders, and
bakers, no more, no less. This price, thus
fairly graduated, at short intervals, is fully
proclaimed to the public, the Dealers the
bakers, and the police.
The police are authorized to drop in, at
any time, into any bakery or breadshop,
wherever bread is exposed for sale, and
weigh the loaves. There is also a special
inspecting officer appointed for this express
purpose His visits are not stated, that they
may not have things got ready for exhibi-
tion instead of inspection, according to the
English and American fashion of doing
things. If the inspector finds the weight
deficient, or the price of particular kind
of loaf too high for the grade, all the bread
in the shop is swept off at once, and dis
tributed to the hospitals and other eleemosy-
nary establishments of the city. Thus are
the public protected against private cupidity
speculating in the means of existence.
