Ews FROM SIR JONI FRANKLIN. The
report from California that u m essage
from the long-ost explorers of Sir John
tranklin's expedition, committed to
the waves by them years ago in the Arctic
Seas, has been picked up on the aciic
coast will be received with skep ticism until
more authentic details are obtained. 1t is
not lmpossible-not even mprobable-that
such despairing memorandum, dropped
by the last Survivors of the doomed compa-
ny into the icy waters of the Polar sea
may have drifted among the foes and the
iceoergs, been frozen and freed again, toss
ed hither aud thither with ebb and flow of
tides and billows and currents, to escape ut
last through the narrow gateway Of Beh-
rings Straits into the wide Pacific, and find
Its way, with many devious wanderugs, at
the end OF twenty-five slow years, to some
friendly California strand. There is no i'm
probability in it--yet the tho ught OF this
ghostly messenger, hailing US in the voice
OF the lost and persisted crew ont Of the
dread mystery of twenty years, is SO thrill
ing and SO strange that it cannot seem true.
Ii, indeed, the verify Of it be proved, what
event of so weird and touching an interest
has the century known?
