INTERVIEW WITH A POLAR BEAR.-It seems hardly
RIGHT to call polar bears land animals they abound here
ito geographical miles from the nearest land upon very
loose broken up ice, which is steadily drifting into the
Atlantic at the rate of twelve or fourteen miles daily
TO remain upon it would be to insure their destruction
were they not nearly amphibious. They hunt by scent
and are constantly running across and against
the wind which prevailed from the nOrthWard, that
the same instinct which directs their search for prey
also serves the important purpose guiding them in the
direction oIaud and more solid ice. remarked that the
uprcr part of bruins fore paws rubbed quite bare.
Peterson explains that to surprise the seal bear crouch
Is down with his fore paws doubled underneath, and
pushes himself noseleSsy forward with his hinder legs
until within few yards when he springs upon the I'M
sspecting victim whether in the water or upon the ice
ThcGreenanders are fond of bears fesh but never eat
the heart or liver and say that these parts sick
ness No instance is known of Greenland bears attack
ing men except when wounded provoked they never
disturb the EsQumaux graves, although they seldom
fail to rob a cache of seals flesh, which is
a similar construction of loose stones above the
ground native Of Upernavik, one dark winters day
was out visiting his seal nets. He found seal entan-
ged and whilst kneeing down it upon the ice to
get it clear he felt slap the back, from his cOmpan
ion as he supposed but a second and heavier blow
made him look smartly round He was horror stricken
to see peculiarly grim old bear instead Of his comrade
Without deigning further notice of the man, brun tore
the seal out of the net and commenced his supper. He
was not interrupted nor did the wait to the
meal fnished.-Coptnn McClntock'S Voyage IN SearcI

crat thus Mr. Bates opinions touching mat
tiers of current and political interest:
Since the dissolution Of the Wing party Judge Bates
has been identified with political organization but,
nevertheless he has not withheld the public expression
of his opinion each Of the questions which have been
debated since that event. He free soil Wing and
was designated recognized and prescribed as such in
this State Were it not for his GndsguiSed antislavery
opinions he would in all human probability have been
one OF the Representatives of Missouri in the o. States
Senate Tor years.
He is welded to the cause of free labor both in opin
ion and practice He denies that the Constitution
tends slavery the Territories he declares that slave
ry shall not be permitted to enter any territory which
was free soil when acquired by the United States, or
which became free at any period subsequent to its ac-
QUESTION that no power but Congress can plant slave
ry such SOIL that the bred Scott decision merely de-
fines the Constitutional status of the negro the discursve
essays OF the Justices which accompanied the rendering
of that decison being in his opinion, mere leather and
prunea possessing intrinsic weight, and entitled to
no extraordinary consideration, either legally poit
