necessary to equip an Arctic expedition
was collected and the command Of ship
given to DR.. Kane, a surgeon of the United
States Navy. With II volunteer seamen,
he started, and spent very hard winter
in the little bay of Rensselaer,, situated in
7so So, but the crew being exhausted,
and not having yet recovered from the
scurvy, the Greenlauder, Hans, and the
steward, Morton, being the only able
bodied men, left the ship imprisoned in the
ice, and went on an exploring tour to the
northward. When they had passed the
gigantic glacier of Humboldt, their progress
was easy enough on the marine ice, until
it became so thin and fragile that their
trembling dogs refused to advance any
further.

The Australian and Hawaiian
Trade.

We find the following interesting tables,
regarding the trade between California, Aus
tralia, and these islands, in the San Francisco
Commercial Herald aud Market Revieac of No
vember 80:
Herewith we present tabulated statements
of our trade with Australia and the Hawaiian
Islands for the past fifteen years. They will
be found particularly valuable, from the fact
that no other such compilation is in exist
ence, and because they present, at glance,
the ratio of increase in our commercial re-
lations with those countries. The principle
article of import has been coal, and our ex-
ports thither have consisted mainly of bread
stuffs and quicksilver The grand aggregate
of our trade with Australia for fifteen years,
including cost of freights, passage money
and value Of articles imported and exported,
is S21, 200, ,000, in round numbers. This trade
is sensibly increasing, and if it were stimu-
lated by a steamer line, would soon become
of very great importance.
Our relations with the Sandwich Islands
are assuming very interesting proportions.
The sugar yield of the Islands has increased
from $50, 600 pounds exported in 1856, to 20
000, 600 pounds exported in 1868 Their wool
and hides export have also notably increased.
The value of our trade with the Hawaiian
Kingdom during the past eighteen years, in
Guiding freights, passage money and values
of cargoes, inward and outward, amounts to
SIS, ,95S, 346 The number of vessels employ
ed both ways, was 1,090, representing an ag
gregate tonnage Of S73, los registered tons.
The main articles of import have been sugar,
mOlasses, rice, coffee, wool, hides, pulu, fun
gus, goat skins, tallow, whale oil, whalebone,
cotton and fruits. Our exports thither have
consisted of assorted cargoes of manufactur-
ed goods and some breadstuffs. These tables
are complete, with the exception of our ex-
ports for the years 1858 aud 1854, the passen-
ger movement for 1854, and the receipts of
Hawaiian produce for 1S5S4-5, of which We
have no statistics in detail, and have there
fore estimated them. We commend them to
the attention of business men.

PRINTERS IN HoSGKoNG.-The compositor
is one of the enigmas of China, and therefore
worthy of a paragraph. There are some
twelve or fifteen Of them, employed in the
composing room Of the Press office, Hong
kong, who set" from 5000 to 1900 per
day, each. While 1t is indisputable, Il is
almost beyond belief, that Notwithstanding
these compositors set type, not single one
OF them understands word of English and
they have not the faintest idea Of what they
are putting in type. They set manuscript
with as much facility as they do reprint, and
but few American printers can set type
faster, or with fewer errors. These printers
are cheap workers, and consider themselves
well paid when they receive SIS per month,
and perhaps they are, for that Is big wages
for Chinaman in his own country. There
are some very tasty and rapid job printers
among the Chinese, who do work to the sat
isfaetion of those who employ them.

DRIVING HoRsEs.-A correspondent Of the
Scientific ADaeriean gives this advice to horse
men: Whenever they notice their horses d.
reeting his ears to any point whatever, or
indicating the slightest disposition to become
afraid, let them, instead Of pulling the rein
to bring the horse towards the object causing
its nervousness, pull it on the other side.
This will instantly divert the attention OF
the horse from the object which is exciting
his suspicion, and In ninety-nine cases out OF
a hundred, the horse win pay no more afsen-
tion to the object from which he will dy
away If forcibIy driven to It BY pulling the
wrong rein.

LOST TIME.-Let man pass an evening in
vacant idleness, or even in reading some
silly tale, and compare the state of his mind
when he goes to sleep or gets up next morn
ing with its state some other day when he
has spent a few hours in going through the
proofs by facts and reasoning, of some of
the great doctrines of natural science learn
ing truths wholly new to him, and satisfy
ing himself by careful examination Of the
ground on which known truths rest, SO as
to be not only acquainted with the doctrines
Of themselves, but able to show why he
believes them, and to prove before others
that they are true; he will find as great
difference as can exist in the same being
the difference between looking back upon
time unproiitably wasted, and time spent
in selfimproyement; he viii feel himself in
one case listless and dissatisfied, in the other
comfortable and happy; in the one case, If
he did not appear TO himself humbled, at
least will not have earned any claim to his
own respect; in the other case he will en-
joy proud consciousness of having by his
own exertions, become wiser, and there
fore more exalted nature.-Lord Bro,lgham

A FEARFUL RIDE FOR LIFE-Mr. Edward
D. Taussig, of the U. s. g. Wateres, writes n
graphic account OF the earthquake In South
america. He volunteered to take command
of boat which put off from his vessel to
pick up a man who was seen drifting by the
ship ON a mass of earth and weeds, but was
caught by the tidal wave and prevented from
returning. Finally his boat was thrown
against the Peruvian corvette Ameried, and
he got ashore in q curious fashion. They
boarded the corvette amid tremendous sea,
but not before the boat had been dashed to
pieces and sunk under them while they clung
to the ropes. Hardly had they touched the
deck before the vessel grounded, while the
sea broke over her fearfnlly. The crew were
crazy with liquor and clamoring for more.
The captain had been drowned few mo-
ments before, and the first lieutenant could
not make his voice heard above the roar Of
the waves, and the wailing and crying Of his
crew, until he finally gave it up in despair
and wept Two of the masts were carried
away, the sea continually breaking over the
ship, when suddenly the water receded, and
they were left on the sand. They descended,
joined hands in two ranks and ran for life in
land. The return of the sea caught them
again, but not rushing again with great veloc-
ity it did no harm, and after running half a
mile they were safe. The tidal wave by
measurement was forty-two feet high.-Ek.
