GEOLOGICAL WoNDER-About thirty
years ago, somebody made the discovery
that the ice fields CT Siberia contained
immense numbers of elephants and mas
tadons. Where they came from, or how
they got there, is a problem which per-
hars. may never be solved; their exis'
tence, however, was no mere chimera,
and as ivory is one of the most valuable
commodities Of trade in all nations, some
unitarian Englishmen conceived the idea
Of turninr these ves;iges Of a former age
to profitable account. Accordingly
about the year 1885 Thompson, Ronner
a Co. a rich London firm, fitted out an
expedition 70 seek for ivory in the Slbe-
rian ice. Novel and incredible as it
seemed, the exhibition was crowned with
complete success. The ships returned to
England richly laden with the choicest
ivory and even tn the present timo, al.
though the world knows little about it,
the ivory market is mainly supplied from
the ice fields OF Siberia.

New MADRID, April 8.
At last the blockade is passed-the gaunt-
let ia run-the navigation Of the Mississippi
proved possible, in spite of rebel guns and
rebel Notifications. The 0. s. gunboat
CarOndelet Capt a. Wake, arrived this
morning at l o'clock, having passed the
fortfcations at Island No. 10 and the bate
ries upon the main land opposite, and now
lies safely mOOred to the shore under the
guns of the upper forts st New Madrid. The
Oarondelet left the feet last evening at 10
O'clock, during terrific thunder storm, and
having taken a barge in tow lsden with
hay and coal to serve as a protection from
the enemy's balls, extinguished her lights
put on steam and rapidly sailed down the
river.
The irst intimation the rebels had of the
attempt to run the blockade was the FIRE
which issued from the burning chimney OF
the gunboat, and Immediately 1t was greeted
with ashower of balls from infantry station
ed at the upper battery, the same which was
so efectually spiked few days since by Col.
Roberts. A signal rocket was then sent up,
and in an instant the entire line of batteries
were blaze of fame. -Four batteries on
the Kentucky shore, and one on the point Of
the Island fred il quick succession, but the
Carondelet passed them all in safety, and un-
mindful of the lesden and iron hail which
fell around, passed through the fiery ordeal
unhurt Not a man was injured, and, ex-
cepting few musket balls which struck the
iron plated sides of the gunbOat she was
not touched.
The floating battery is lecsted three miles
below the Island, and bestowed q parting |
shower Of blazing compliments as the Caron-

themselves with sdmirable courage
and fidelity. Owing to the intense darkness,
officers could net make an extensive and sat

the enemy probably did his best. The FIRE |
was tremendous.

Ocrst was on the GarOndelet while running |
