Tzze Arctic Regions.

Hearing OF a lecture that was to be de
livcred upon Alaska and the northern re-
gions, We dispatched our reporter, III or
der to give the public the benefit Of the
lecturers wisdom We regret that we
have room for only brief report. The
lecturer commenced by TemsTking, that,
although the regions n, ar The pole were
hard for travellers, yc. it Is a nice loca-
ton. The north pole has never been
seen it Is not certain who;hor the bears
climb It. If they 90, it Is a cold climb,
Those who 90 there are protected from the
cold, although they 90 Ia baar-sains. No
negroes there-aII white bear skins. DR..
Hayes, {, Yankee, went there in search Of
q notion You can see haze when the
northern lights are visible. There Is 20
corn raised in the northern regions e.,
when the E-quimauX have Breakfast, it
Is Indian meal Then although birds are
scarce you can see more than one swallow.
The principal amusement Is old sledge-
though sometimes they have a new one
You viii see boots and shoes in the
houses, and slippers on the ice. The lat~
ter are a part Of the fall fashions. The
annexation Of Alaska to the United States
Will not probably increase the ton tax
When the prodigal son went into fur
country, he probably stopped in Alaska.
The people there don't care for the return
Of spring. When the rivers begin to run,
they say it's snow matter. The territory

a shiver de freeze all around it. 1t is a

THE TALLow CANDLE THEoRY.-
Many persons have heard it asserted that
tallov candle, when fired from an ordi-
nary gun, with the usual charge of pow
der, at deal board three-quarters of an
inch thick, will pass through the board,
but very few who hare not seen it done
bslieve it. On Monday party of rife
men and other gentlemen, for the purpose
of deciding a bet or the subject, adjourn
ed to the butts Of the North Middlesex
Rifles; at Child's hiIly where a board of
the thickness described having been fixed
in M upright position, a common half
penny dip was fred at it from a fowling-
li3ce, from a distance of about fifteen
PAGES. The candle struck the board
with its full length, and passed through,
leaving a hole exactly the shape of IthS
candle. The remains of the candle were
found scattered in pieces resembling snow
flakes, on the high mound of earth in the
rear Of the board. A second candle,
when fred from the fowling piece, passed
through the board, making circular hole
which was, however, very Jagged round
the edges. A third candle carried away
large piece of the board nine inches long
and three inches broad, breaking away
the boundary on one side of the hole made
by the first shot. A candle fred from .
rifle failed to pass through the board, the
grooves of the rife stripping the tallow
from the wick as it passed out. The
smoothbore fowhngspiece was loaded each
time with two and a half drachms of pow
der, small piece of paper as a wad, and
common tailow dip, which had not been
specially prepared in any manner.-Co'rt

Seymour and Wool.

TO the Rditor ofthe Neto York Tribune. "
sir:--I find the following paragraph in the
Utica Herald of yesterday
Neither the Argus nor the World has vet answered
the question whether General John E. Wool refused
10 shake hands with Horao Sey mour at funeral iD
Washington county In 1864
Perhaps the undersigned can enlighten the
Iublic on this subject If neither the Argus nor
Wor, will. / was present at the funeral spoken
of-tbat OF General David A. Russell, at Salem
and remember the circumstance very dis
tinctly. Both General wool and Governor
Seymour were passengers on the same tram
to salem. but did not meet until arriving at
the depot in that place. Governor Seymour
accosted the General very politely, and offered
his hand, which he General Woo) offen-
sivey refused. The affair created consider
able remark at the time, and drew forth some
structures, even from Republicans, on the
grouty Generals want of etiquette. On return.
ing to Albany, the train was met at Cambridge
by q large crowd, and Wool was loudly cheered ;
bat when some sangune Democrat called for
cheers for Seymour, groans were given instead
All this General Wool enjoyed hugely. How
the General has been seduCed into his present
support of the Dem ocratic candidate, whom, in
1868, he thought unworthy the notice of a SOL
der, is, however, matter / cannot attempt to
explain. Possibly he fancles himself neglected
by the Republicans, for it is well known that
vanity is his ruling passion.

Murder upon Impulse.

The singular story which follows, aud which
is taken from a recent number of the London
NelCs, furnishes an additional case for the study
OF psy biologists
Gunner Benjamin Sheldon, who was hanged
at Lucknow for having shot and killed Bombar-
der WALL made a strange confession. On the
day of the murder he had been led by the kind,
ness of his friends to drink to excess. In the
evening" he says, must have been at roll call
although l do not recolect it; and the first
thing | do recollect, after leaving the canteen
when it was closed, was finding myself at the
cot of Corporal Wall. with a carbine in my
hand. ! cannot tell whether Corporal Wall was
asleep or awake. 1t was then, as in moment
| felt impelled by some uncomfortable impulse
to shoot him. l tried not to do it, but had no
power-it was as if l could not leave the spot
1t seems to me as If l had been under strong
and irresistible temptation of the devil | do
not remember dscharging the carbine, or
speaking to any one; but my next conscious
moment was, when | was beng handcuded in
the guard-room, as one of the handouts nipped
me. 1t was not until the next morning, when
l was told of what had happened, that the cir
cumstance of having been at Corporal Wallis
cot flashed upon me.n
