THE GLORIOUS LAND OF ALASKA.
From the ~ Y Herald

FTom the N. L. Herald.
Let skeptics doubt no longer Alaska is a
great and glorious country, incalculable in its
riches and cheap as dirt for the trihe of money
PAID for it. Our venerable statesman, w. III.
seward, who bought it at venture, has seen
IT. and he is more than satisfed-he is de-
nghted. AS the Queen of Sheba, attracted
Dy the reports of the grandeur and glory of
hlng solomon, found on visiting him in his
royal city OF Jerusalem that not one-half the
story OF his surprising splendors had been
told, even so the Sage of Auburn is entranced
with the splendors of Alaska. In the Port
land O1eg0ntdn we find full report of a
speech delivered by Mr.. Seward. on the 10Th
day OF August last, at Sitka, the chief sea
port and only city of Alaska population saw
five hundred), and from this can of rich arctic
milk we propose to skim off the delicioue
cream In this article. First, in answer to the
inquiry, You have looked on Alaska, what
do you think of it?" he says:-
"Unhappily, have seen too little of Alaska ~ on
swer the Question SATISFACTORILY The eSfir 70 an
line OF the United States exclusive of Aiasta ~
10000 miles, while the coast line OF Alaska alone n
Guiding the islands, is $4,000 miles, The portion m nt
the Territory which lies east of the peninsula in.
Guiding islands, is 120 miles wide; the western nor
tion including the Aleutlan Islands, expands TO a
breadth OF 1900 miles. The entire land area, lnclu-
ding island, is 1880 statute square miles. we
should think a foreigner very presumptuous who
should presume to give the world an opinion of the
whole OF the United States OF America after he had
merely looked In from his steamer at Plymouth ant
BostOn harbor or had run up the Hudson river Il
the Highlands or had ascended the Delaware q
Trenton, or the James river TO Richmond, or TN
Mississippi no further than Memphis. My oDserya
tIon of Alaska thus far has hardly been more com
prehensiye."

VIZ hear from London that Messrs.
Davis, Slidell, Mason, Dudley Mann and
other chiefs Of the Lost Cause are pre-
pairing TO return to the United States.
There has been no practical reason why
they should not have been back years
ago, striving to do what they can to-
ward repairing the ruin they have
wrought by contributing TO the revival
of industry at the South. We accept
their return now as evidence that the
idea that existence under the United
States Government would hcnceforth be
intolerable, has been definitely ADAM
doned. The "~despotism OF this CEN
tralizcd Government may be CALLING,
but il is still better in their eyes than
liberty anywhere else. NEGRO equal
ity" may be odious, but there are moro
odious things abroad and utterly rs the
whole country is going to the dogs, it is
still better than any other country the
sun shines on. The emigrants to Mex
leo have long ago concluded that Louis
lana suits them better. The plan OF
seeking for the beauties Of slavery in
Brazil no longer ca%ptivatcs the South
ern mind. Even the attractions OF Hon
duras are despised. And now the very
leaders who, of all others, might be
expected to find life under the Govern
ment that conquered them distnsteful,
hasten their arrangements for returning.
We record the fact with pleasure, and
confidently trust that it is to be taken
as the final acceptance of the situation.

A sroRYis told of a Scotch dog which,
whenever a penny vas given him, used
10 20 at once to a baker with the coin
in his mouth, when, on dropping it, the
baker would give him n penny roll. On
one occasion the baker cheated bin,
taking his penny, but only giving him a
half.pcnny ROLAND then the dog went
and fetched a policeman ! 1t should be
remembered, however, that it was n
Scotch dog. Another case Of canine
instinct may be given. 4 lady in Lon-

carried her letters from the postman to
