EXPLORATION OF GBEESEASD.--Ai the re-
cent meeting Of the Geographical Society of
London, it was stated that Whymper, who
though one Of the youngest associates of he
society, was well known for his courage and
self-reliancei in surmounting the highest peaks
of the Alps, had conceived the bold idea of
penetrating along the surface Of the glaciers
of Greenland and into the interior of that
snow-clad continent Mr.. Whymper believ-
ed, from the great number of deer that find
their way to the coast, that there are within
the glaciers wen-grassed valleys and recesses.
He also thought 1t possible to trace by land
the extent of Greenland TO the north. To
acquire some knowledge of the latter, was
one of the msin' geographical projects Of the
late projected polar expedition. Mr.. Whym-
per makes preliminary trip this year, and
will be accompanied by an experienced Dam
ish guide from Copenhagen. Sir Roderick
Murehison considered this enterprise, If 1t
were successful, would be the ne plus ultra
of individual geographical adventures. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Whymper mar
rowly escaped death last year in crossing the
Matterhorn, when a young nobleman and
one of the guides of his party lost their lives
in crevasse- Mr.. Whymper is brother to
the gentleman Of the same name who is artist
TO the Western Union Telegraph Extension
Company, and who is now in the North Pa
cific with Col. Bulkley's expedition

ICED MUsIrss ron suMmrn.-It has doubt.

ICED MUsLINs FOR SUMMER. LII has doubt
less occurred to many n one, while admiring
the beautiful effects produced by frost on the
windows, to imagine how delightful 1t would
be II sensation of GOODNESS could be pro-
duced in the sultry days of summer by the
aspect of those effects, artificially produced.
The Imagination has been realized. 1t is
known that, by almost any ordinary salt, re-
drced to liquid, and applied with brush
to window panes, those fairy-like forms of
crystalline foliage may be successfully repro
duced, and that, with little chemical inge-
nuity, any tone of color may be given them,
from snowy white to richest purple or
coolest green. That process is well known;
but another step In advance has recently
been taken in the same direction, by means
of which muslins may be similarly iced for
summer wear. The line which separates a
pretty experiment from a commercial pro-
duct is that which may be drawn between
results obtained by an original manipulation,
which can only be reproduced by repeti-
ton of the same original means, and those
results which, once perfected, can be repro
duced, dd i'.jfRitafHa, by mere mechanical pro-
eessess. Daguerreotype was merely pretty
toy until Talbot discovered the means of
producing the same effects on paper, and a
process for multiplying the image when once
produced. An analogous method has been
discovered by NJ. Bertsch, and practically ap-
piled by NJ. Ruhlman, for multiplying, as
from an engraved plate, the exquisite effects
Of the crystalline, from which any number of
impressions can be taken, in any tone of icy
grays, of pale, silvery greens, or any cool
tlnh In order to secure continuity of de-
sigh, without stop or interruption, the first
manipulation takes place upon a polished
cylinder, BY means of which continuous
pattern, "never ending, still beginning" is
impaired TO as many thousand yards of any
textile fabrics as may be required. So that,
for the first time in the fanciful history of
fashion, iced muslins, for the summer sea-
son, may be had in any quantity. Oh, We
nymphs of icy hearts, let US see you clothed
in the appropriate livery of iced muslin.

WHERE DOES He BELONG I'VE have
been shown letter from Manchester, Clin-
ton county, Ohio, which says that q man
named John Bsnber, who belonged to the
Forty-seventh Ohio regiment, under Nc
Clellau, and afterwards under General
Cox, brought to that county little boy
whom he says he got in South Carolina
but fellow-soldier says that Bamber
brought him from Virginia. The boy is
now in the hands of Bamber's parents, who
treat him most cruelly-so much so that
interference on the part of the citizens has
more than once been talked of. The boy
says his name is David Hollis, but he can
not tell what town or State he came from.
He is about ten years old, fair complexion,
blue eyes, light hair, handsome, and intel
ligent. John Bamber, the letter further
states, has taught the boy to say and be-
lieye that his father was killed in the wal
and his mother has gone off. The letter
closes as follows:
elf the child's parents are not in Lees
burg, think it advisable to send this along
Mcclellan and Cox's route through Virgil.
MIA. l hope you may find his parents.
will do all can to relieve him, and l hope
all Virginians will assist me.

GENERAL FRANK BLAIR's SPEECH AT
CoLUNBUS-THg POLITICAL PROsPECT. -
On Monday last, General Frank P. Blair,
while in Columbus, en- route for Cincinnati,
was called upon by large crowd Of citi-
gems, to whom he delivered a short speech,
from which we make the following extract /:
Fellow citizens,--1 make to you my
acknowledgment for this kind expression Of
YOUR feelings toward me. l feel assured,
however, that it is not intended as per-
sonal compliment, but to evince your devo-
ton to the principles of which l am re-
preventative. They are principles which
have aroused unbounded enthusiasm
throughout the land. Our cause is that Of
the country and the Constitution. 1t is a
cause against the despostic measures Of the
party in power, and it is because of those
measures thet the people have become
aroused for the purpose Of restoring the
Democracy to the control Of the Govern
ment. During this campaign | have ira
yelled considerably, and have seer
enough to assure me that the Demo.
cratic party will carry the country like s
tornado for constitutional liberty. Ever
the prestige of the General of our armies
against whom have nothing personally t.
say, will not prevent Radical:sm from being
overthrown. But an not here to make
any extended remarks. | can assure you
that in Pennsylvania and Indiana, as IL
Ohio, our people are aroused with un-
bounded enthusiasm.

The Registration Frauds In New Or

The Registration Frauds In New Or
Ieans-Arrest and Filming of Regis
trars.
New ORLEANS, October S.-The bill which
passed the Senate forbidding registrars 60
ing beyond the registration laws in their
decisions was killed yesterday in the
House.
Writs Of n,dndamns are before the courts
daily in cases in which the registrars refuse
registration to persons naturalized in the
third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh dis
trict courts since July, 1868. These man
danuses are made peremptory. There are
several thousand such naturalizations in
that city, and the registrars refuse to be
governed by the decisions Of the courts, and
by refusing registration to each applicant
is necessitated to get out separate writ,
notwithstanding it is stated in behalf of the
registrars that the decision in test cases
will be received as conclusive.
In the sixth district, the Court stated that
a certificate of naturalization issued from
that court had the effect of q judicial deci-
sion, the correctness of which no registrar
had right to question. Notwithstanding
this decision, some of the registrars per-
sisted in their refusal, were arrested, and
fined for contempt of court. A number of
similar cases will be before the court to-
morrow.

The snow problem on the Central Pacific
road is not yet solved, we learn from the
Rocky Mountain Neaos. The company last
winter built sheds for the protection of their
tracks over the Sierra Nevada. They were,
however, crushed by snow. The company
are now engaged in constructing new sheds,
with frame work of heavy timber and
pointed roofs. About forty miles of track
will require to be covered, and it is stated
that twenty-five saw mills, most Of them
worked by steam, are running night and
day, employing nearly two thousand men,
and six more are building. 1t is estimated
that it will require 100000 feet Of timber
| to the mile for the sheds.

New POSTAGE STAMPs.-The two-cent
stamp represents post-boy on horse
running at full speed, illustrating the fact
that this stamp is mostly used for dispatch
letters. On the three-cent stamp there is
inely-eDgraved locomotive. This is sur
rounded by lines of lightning, indicating
the speed with which letters are carried
on which this stamp is used. The fve-cent
stamp has en- excellent portrait Of Wash
lngton. The ten-cent stamp has an excel
lent microscopical copy Of the painting of
the signing of the Declaration of indie
pendence hanging in the rotunda at Wash
lngton. The twelve-cent stamp, mostly
used for foreign postage, has picture of a
steamer at sea. The thirty-cent stamp has
copy of painting of the surrender Of
Bprgoyne hanging in the rotunda of the
national capitol. One of the characteristics
OF the stamps is that the ink used prevents
persons from washing aud using the stamps
second time. The fibre IN the centre of
the stamp is broken completely, and they
adhere better, while the ink Of cancella-
ton sinks into the paper.-Neao York Let.

10 TS, onerators of the Franklin telegraph
i+s It was not impaired by them. It

S..bensive word, which commend to Mr..

Gloucester, let us hope that o mailed let

sve. until the restless Doctor, though
r,o.t too old dog to. learn new
.r;rks. shall realize the truth of the
.dsre that "listeners rarely hear any
ro,d Of themselves" And this Pagan of
New Orleans, who recently, under the pre-
text Of q Government commission to Prince
Edwards island, spent some thousands Of
the peoples money to persuade the hardy
fishermen of Gloucester that he was the
great NaIsrene to FL their nets, undertakes
to establish an equality between himself
and such a well-bred gentleman, however
misguided politically, as Mr.. Atkinson.
Let somebody tell those fishermen that if
their ballots return the said Pagan to Con-
gress he viii make many an "Artful
Doiger" out Of the Oliver Twists around
him and let it be added, for the honor OF
the country and humanity, that |, a Copper

cord of Tpo Years Before the Mast has moi
ceased, and will never cease, to "poul
