Polar Exploration DR.. Hayes Proposed
Expedition and Scenes in
Polar Regions.

The following statement by Dr..
Hayes, concerning his proposed ex.
pedition, will be read with interest :
First, as to design, The design of
the expedition which have proposed
is to complete the exploration OF the
entire region. Northward Of Baf1n's
Bay; to trace Greenland and Grin
nell Land to their termina. ion then
ascertain if other lands lie to the
northward; to explore the open Po.
lar sea; and lastly to rcacl, tho North
Pole, making upon the course such
observations as circumstances will al
low. Thus will field be opened for
the most valuable discoveries in ge-
ography, geology, in glacier forma-
tlous, magnetism, countries and cur
rents, and in natural history. Second
as to plan. I would SGT out in Nav
with two vessels-one small steam.
Grand would make my course north
ward provided with the best chart Of
Greenland, through the middle ice,
until reach Smiths Sound, in lati-
tude 68 deg. II min., where in my old
harbor OF ls6O-'Gl. would pass the
winter. Here there in abundance Of
game; and would found a colony.
Walrus, seals, rcind -er, and the foxes
could be caught in great numbers,
and not only would the Colony be
made self sustaining in puint Of food
but the valuable cargo of fnrs and
oil might be collected. Then would
push northward the next summer
with the steamer, and would thus
strike for the North Pole.
In any case would secure harbor,
and base Of operations much to tie
North of the colony, and thus would
the steamer and the colony become
the centre from which the explora-,
tions already mentioned would be-
made. Third, as to cost. A pnblic
spirited citizen OF New York has
2
offered to supply a suitable steamer,
and there is good reason to suppose
that we could obtain from The Gov.
ernment the loan Of sailiDg vessel
one Of the MANY not in use. These
vessels furnished, they could be equip
ped and maintained in the field
through two summers and two win
ters, at a cost Of $4,000. Fourth, let
it be remembered that this is "the
American route" The land extends
there further north than in any other
quarter so far as known, and the
Americans have thence explored to
within less than eight degrees; that
is to say, within $50 miles of the !
pole. Independent, therefore, of the
value to science of this partic liar
line Of discovery above any other in
the unexplored parts of the Arctic
regions, there 10 something Of nation:
al honor involved in the pursuit of II,
ut This time when England, |
France Germany and Sweden are
zach aimipgto reach the North Pole
by various other routes to which end
sxpeditions are actually preparing.

TIE LAST DANCE.

During the. occupancy of the City
Of Moscow by the French army, q
party of officers and soldiers deter
mined to have a military levee, and
tor this purpose chose the deserted
palace of nobleman. fhatnight the
city was set Oh fire. AS tho sun went
down thcy began to assemble. The
women who followed the fortunes of
tho French army were decorated for
the occasion. Tie gayest and noblest
Of the army were there, and merri-
mrnt reiyned over tho crowd.
During the dance the fire rapidly
approached them; they saw it COM
ing, but felt no fear. At length the
building next the one they occupied
was OH fire. Coming to the windows
they gazed upon the pillows of fire
which swept the city, and then re-
turned to their amusements. Again
aud again they left their pleasures to
watch the progress of the flames At
length the dance ceased, and the ne
cessity Of leaving the scene of merri-
ment bccame apparent to all. They
were enveloped i'll food OF fire, and
gazed OH with deep and awful solem.
nifty. =
At last the fire, communicating to
their own building, caused them to
prepare for flight, when brave young
officer, named CARROT, waved his
jeweled hand above his head, and ex-
claimed: "One dance more, and def.
ance to the fiamss.", All caught the
enthusiasm Of the moment, and "One
dance more, and defiance to the
flames" bust from the lips of all. The
dance commenced louder and louder
grew the sound OF music, and faster
and taster fell the pattering, footsteps
OF dancing men. und women, when
suddenly they heard u cry "Tho
fire has reuched the magazinei Fly
fly tor your litel" One moment they
stood transfixed with terror; they did
not know the magazine was there, and
ere they recovered from their stupor
the vault exploded; the building was
shattered to pieces, aud the .dancers
were hurried into y fearful eternity.
Thus will IL be' in the 'fnal day.

as mas Deen tho case with all the
other plantations that / have seen.
Tho dirt is turned up to tho depth OF
seven, eight, or nine inches, and the
! whole surface is broken up, the dead
burrows being upon the ridges. Else.
where the space between the rows
forms q "land." The burrows for
cotton rows are opened about eight
inches deep and four feet apart. The
manure is deposited in the furrow,
and covered with the plow. The
seed furrow is then opened above it,
and the cotton seed strewn thickly
in it, many more plants being started
than are permitted to remain. After
they are finely started, spaces are
cut in the row with q broad heavy
hoo, leaving from one to three stalks
to q hill. Tho plowing is done with
what is called here "sweep," q plow
cutting twenty two inches wide,
formed the two narrow mold boards,
very like our plow shares. This just
scrapes the ground, cutting up all the
weeds, but not going deep enough to
wound the cotton roots or open the
light soil. 1t is hoed and plowed
often enough to keep the
ground perfectly clean. The moro
rapid the growth of the cotton, the
less cultivation is required, for when
the plants are tall, thick and bushy,
they so shade the ground that weeds
and grass can hardly live upon it.
Three plowings and two hocings sui.
feed last year for a remarkable field
of cotton raised last year by Mr..
Dickson, which averaged two bales
to tho acre. Usually the hoo and
plow arc busy almost until cotton
picking commences in September.
A Western farmer would smile at
Mr.. Dickson's corn fields. Tho rows
are almost as wide as the streets in
some old European towns. But it
must be remembered that this is q
very light soil and cannot bear many
stalks, and by making the rows wide
the sun reaches both sides OF every
plant. Mr.. Dickson makes his rows
for corn seven feet apart, with hills
three feet apart in the rows and thon
only one or two stalks to the. hill.
But sll this space is not wasted, as a
row Of peas is planted between every
Two rows Of corn, and those produce |
from five to fifteen bushels per acSs,
and is equal to the average produc.
ton of corn or unmanurod land.
Mr.: Dickson's experience is of
course valuable chiefly to the south
oru planter. A general adoption of
his methods would be more than
double the produMs of the country
md the prohts of. the farmer.
Mr.. Dickson says that he can pay his
laborers ono hundred and fifty dol
ars per year and make q small pro.
it by raising cotton at ten cents
pound, if tho laborers ars as orderly
ind efficient as they were before the
he sees no indication that
hey will become 30. With law and
order and strict enforcement of
contracts he feels. that he can make
money by raising cotton.-Not other

The Chinese-How They Talk About
Them in California.

There is a growing feeling of indig.
nation in this community at the utter
disregard not only Of decency, but OF
all our laws, recently exhibited by the
Chinese. 1t is horrible to reflect that
politicians are pursuing course that
renders it even possible for these
creatures to obtain share in our
Government-perhaps a controlling
interest in our elections. For long
time past they have exhibited u
peaceful, almost a submissive spirit,
: rarely committing any gravcr offence
than pilfering exposed triflcs; but
suddenly they have changed their
conduct, and for months past the
courts have bcen burthcned with in.
vestigations of their crimes-investi.
cations that come to naught, for these
people have no regard for the sanctity
of an oath, and perjure themselves by
Wholesale. They have introduced
into our Christian city all the barba.
rous practices of. their native land !;
they do not hesitate to hatch conspira-
cies, abduct and assassinate, and what
is worse, they employ AN organized
gang OF bravos to slay their enemies
or rivals, anil gauge the reward ac-
cording to the punishment that may
be inflicted upon them. A Chinaman
can be paid to assassinate even with
the death penalty staring him in the
face, and can coolly' stipulate for tho
price of his neck to be paid to his
relatives in case he is hung.
Although a cowardIy race when
pitted man against nan in mortal
fight, yet do they display the most ex-
traordinary stolidity and indifference
when execution is about to be done
upon them. In their own country q
line of fifty criminals, condemned to
be decapitated, will sink upon their
knees without coer ion, bend their
heads forward 50 as to expose their
necks, and stoically await the stroke
Of tho executioner's. sword. They
hear the dull, heavy thud at one end
Of the line, and see the ghastly head
roll upon the pavement, without a
shudder. Sometimes the executioner
stops midway in the line to resharpen
his sword-they listen without a
tremor, and as he approaches them
closely and their turn comes next,
they adjust their necks more conven-
iently for the stroke. There is moth
ing about this of the spirit that some
times actuates Caucasian criminal
"to die game"-it is simply british
Creatures like these once
reused to the commission of crime arc
eminently dangerous in q community,
for the death that threatens them from
tho, law has no terrors to restrain
Them. 1t is said they have carried
their barbarous practices to such an
extent in this city as to offer large re-
wards for thu heads of their enemies. !
What can be done with such a people 2
They are soulless, conscien eless,
ievilish.. Their vile passions, long
kc,.. in restraint from submission to
The moral influence of tho white man,
sre now breaking forth in barbaric
hry-they openly defy our laws and
with brazen insolence insult our civil
Let us exhaust all tho re-
sources Of the law to restrain them,
md if they fail, let us advise them to
.eturn home. -

A Visit to Mr. ~Dickson's Plantation.

lis in America, no more successful
lplan ser than Mr.. David Dickson,
whose plantation Of $4,000 acres is
situated on the Little Ochogee river,
about ten: miles erst Of Sparta, in
Hancock County.
To reach his country i travelled
sTcr a hilly country of, mixed lands
on which oaks, hickory, and other
dcciduous trees were common, but
where the prevailing growth was vel
low pine. But just before reaching
his, plantation tho hills sink, there are
