Printer Sclaiors.


Probably no class of artisans are more
fully represented in the battle field than
the Printer At the time of the Mexi-
can war the enlisting Of the craft was SO
numerous that it was difficult to pro-
cure ,workmen to carry on the business
in the United States. 1t promises to be
so in the present war. Very few coun
try towns have more printers than are
absolutely necessary to perform the
business required; yet we can scarcely
pick up paper but that has been in
convenienced by some Of "the boys"
volunteering. In Cincinnati there was
a full company raised within few days
from the call for troops. The Meigs
County Rangers have one contribution
from the craft-Mr. Joseph Potts. He
was formerly an employee in this office,
and if he proves to be as good soldier
as Printer, he will not use his ''shooting-
stick in vain.

A TALE OF TIE ARrIc Rre1oNs-We take /

A TALE OF THE ARrIc REGIONS We take
from very old monthly publication, the fol-
lowing extraordinary narrative of an adveu-
ture in the Polar Seas The circumstances
are widely within the range of possibility,
since no putrefacton could take place whilst
the bodies Of the sufferers were IN a tempe
rature of a vessel, strongly encased in thick
rbbed ice =
In the spring Of the year 1910, whaling
vessel sailed from the porl of London upon a
voyage to the Polar Seas Nothing material
is said to have occurred until their arrival in
those solitary regions, when it became the
duty of the crew to keep perpetual lookout
upon the horizon in search of fish Whilst
thus occupied, it was fnncied 10y one of the
seamen that sail was discernable as far TO
the nor tn ward us the eye could reach; AS the
course of the whaler was towards the sup
posed vessel Il mast hecame gradually dis
tinguishahle amidst the mountain of ice
which appeared in that quarter TO bound the
sea. 1t was now summer, and the afternoon
unusually calm, while the whaler gradually
neared the object in view, the suppostion
being that it was IA vessel engaged in opera
ting upon the blubber, in II bay which would
open to the view upon approaching nearer
to the ice. Upon arriving however at the
spot, it became clear that the vessel was ii
wreck, mbedded in the ice and could only
be approached by "A boat. This having been
lowered, the captain and several OF the sea-
men landed upon the ice, and proceeded to
the vessel, which proved to be brig The
sails were furled, very little appeared upon
the deck, and all the arrangements We're those
of vessel laid up for a long period of time
Descending to the cabin, the first object that
was seen was large New Foundland dog
coiled upon a mat, and apparently asleep
Uron touching the animal, it was found to he
dead, and the body frozen to the hardness Of
stone Entering the cabin, there was next
seen young lady seated at table. Her
eyes were open, and gazing with mild and
steadtast expression upon the new comers to
the solitary spot. She was a corpse and in
that apparently resigned and religious atti-
tude had been frozen to death Beside her
was young man, who, it appeared, was the
brother of the young lady, and commander of
the brig lie, too, was dead, but sitting at
the table, and before him lay sheet of pa
per- and upon which was written the follow
ing words: "Our cook has endeavored since
yesterday morning to strike "A light, but in
vain; all is now over At tine other side of
the cabin stood the cook, with a flint and
steel in his hand, f oxen TO a statue in the
vain endeavor to procure that fire which
alone could save him and his companions g
from the cold arms of DEATH The superst-
tious terrors of the seaman now hurried The
captain away from the wreck, the log-book
alone being brought away, and from this it
appeared that the Inflated vessel was a brig
which had belonged to the port Of London,
and had sailed for the Artie regions more

GREELEY kEErs HIS Hat 0N.-The CORES
pondent of the Cleveland Flaindealer, who
accompanied the Presidential train, says:
AT Girard House, Greeley got on board
and proceeded as far as Erie. where he lee
tured on Saturday night. After HE lecture
he was to proceed to Buffalo, there to join
the Presidents party on the route to Albany.
lis coat collar was partly turned in and part
iy turned up. his pockets stuffed with papers
and magazines, and his quaker hat sat on the
back of his head in very jolly way. He
walked into the Presidents car entirely at
nome, and instead of seeking Mr. Lincoln,
'cnatted in an opposite end Of the car, and
allowed Mr.. Lincoln to seek him. While in
conversation with him Mr.. Greeley's face
wore very complacent smile which seen-
'Su TO say I've brought this thing around
ior 10, you, you know. How do you seem to
Iike 1t as far as you have got?" Mr.. Lin
com presented Mr.. G. to his wife, and it was
observed that the broad brimmed hat never
once left its perch upon the back of the Hor-
1oian caput. We believe, however, That po
liteness is not one of Mr.. Greeley's eccentri-
cities.

TnE INAUGURATION BALL.-The Inaugural
tion or Union Ball was a complete success.
The room was lined with white and pink
ehintz and lighted with three large costly
chandeliers. Brackets surrounded the entire
room. There ware three carpeted terraces
Of steps surrounding the entire apartment,
for the convenience Of the lookers-on The
guests began to assemble by 9P. NJ The
room gradually filled, and by 10 O'Clock be-
tween two and three thousand persons, conl-
prisng the elite of Washington city, were
assembled. The dancing commenced at
about 10 o'clock. 1t was nearly II before
President Lincoln arrived As he entered,
the band played "IIail to the Chief" He
came in leaning on the arm of Mayor Berritt
and the Marshal of the District. Mrs Lin
coin was escorted by Senator Douglas, whose
empreSsment and manner were much noticed.
Mrs Lincoln was superbly dressed in blue
silk, trimmed with point d'AIeneon lace, and
wore Il blue ostrich feather in her hair which
was exceedingly becoming The President
and his attendants promenaded to and fro
through the room several times, bowing to
the right and left in response TO the innumera
bic salutations He proceeded finally to the
dais at the east end of the room, where were
Gen Scott, Mr.. Seward and Senator Came
ron, with many officers of the navy and
army with other gentlemen and ladies of
distinction. Many iutroductions took place
at this time, after which the dancing was re-
sumed in all parts of the hall. The supper
room adjoining the ball room was separated
from it toy movable screens The supper
was served at midnight. The crowd of hun
cry people was of course Tremendous, for the
viauds were excellent and abundant After
the supper, President Lincoln resumed his
place on the dais and held an impromptu re-
ception, during which many of the gents
volunteered to introduce themselves. Among
others was lady from Tennessee, who said
to Mr.. Lincoln, I'VE in our State like you,
and if all knew you as well as | do, would
like you better MIR. Lincoln replied, Il
hope you will not like me less, the better

The JAM AT THE FRONT OF THE CAFToL-
As the President eject moved from the Sen
ate Chamber to take his position on the
platform at the east front of the Capitol.
there was a general stampede among the
crinoline and gay young men with eye glass
es. The gush was SO great that the doors
leading to the platform were closed before
those officially entitled to entrance could OBJ
lrly greved, and one was so uuflial as to
eXclaim eeyishly-"Thcre, mother, if you
had not detained me, could have got there
before the door closed" How disappointed
they all seemed But now the benevolent
lorm and genial face of Senator Foot appear.
ed in the throng 'Oh, there's MIR Foot" is
uttered by one sweet voice. "NOw we shall
get in. But the Nermonter is resolute IN

a phantom from his agonized pursuers. AT
this time it was difficult to find any mode of
egress from the Senate wing Of the Capitol
No one could get in-no one could get out.

the corridors "Oh, how provoking-I
