LIFE UP NORTH.

The Captain gave vivid description
of his experience within the Arctic cir
Gle, and his lie among the Esquimaux
The largest body of the latter he ever
saw collected together was only 125.
This was at n little village near Repulse
Bay, and was rather unusual circum-
stance. The solitary nature of the life
led by the explorers may therefore be
imagined. All alone in the frozen waste,
with hardly living thing to be met
with; living like molcs, in underground
houses, with dogs and Esquimaux, so
huddled together that the human could
scarcely be distinguished from the brute;
shut out from all intercourse with the
outer world, excepting tie scraps OF news
brought by passing whale ships; such an
existence only varied by occasional expe-
ditions into the interior on sledges drawn
by dogs, can hardly be called endurable
let alone pleasant Yet Captain Hall
did not complain Of the life.

Hoes WANT SuLpnUR-W Whether
hogs require sulphur as essential to their
health, or whether it is sought by them
as condiment may not be known for
certainty. Bat one thing is sure they
devour it with greed Whenever it is to be
found. 1t is for this purpose, probably,
that they eat large quantities. of soft
coal, which contain a large amount of
sulphur. Perhaps this is the most
economical msthod Of supplying hogs
with sulphur during the winter, when
they require good deal of carbon. But
in The summer. it is better to feed il to
them in substances which contain less
carbon, on account of their producing
less heart. Mustard is one of the best
things tor this purpose, and on that
account some OF it should be sown in
every pasture into which hogs al Q turned.
If hogs are kept in pens, or are in small
yards, it is well to supply them with the
wild mustard that grows in the fields or
highways, or to cultivate some of the bet
ter varieties for them. They will eats its
leaves, flowers, seeds and stalks.

No man grows to be perfect Christian
by lying on the bed OF sloh Our man

soldier grows into the veteran amidst the
smoke OF battle. Sailors learn not their

developed By merely listening to sermons,
or witnessing the holy example of others.

"Are not the EsquimauA very dirty

PSop'os
"Well, yes, it must be admitted they
are-but their mode of life has much to
do with this. They have great trouble
to get water enough to drink except by
the sea shore, and the means of preserv-
ing cleanliness are limited"
"How do you find the change in this
country affects your"
"Oh very much ! I'm all upset aud

noise everywhere, and feel the change
In the air greatly. 1t is very close and
hot here. Why, when I first got on
ship-board to come home. after being so
much in the open air, could hardly
sleep at night, and find it hard TO do so
now"
"What do you think caused the loss of
Sir John Franklin's company ?"
"Treachery, sir. They were deserted
by the natives, and left without fresh
provisions or means of getting them. But
for this some of them might have been
saved"
"What is the result of your researches
in relation to Franklin ?"
Briefly this: We have settled beyond
a doubt that Franklin actually discovered
the Northwestern passage. On his pre-
vious voyages he had sailed eastward as
far as Cape Hcrschell, and now we have
shown that he reached the same point
going westward aud thus completed the
chain of communication. To him, there
fore, belongs the honor of having made
the discovery, though Captain Mcclure
has received the reward offered by the
British government to the person who
should succeed in the effort"
care you satisfied with the result ?"
"Well, yesi considering how much we
did, it is useless to think of how much
more might have been accomplished. If
the Esquimaux. who went with me, had
not been so timid, or if had had ii body
of resolute white men to back me,

lucky enough to meet with aud capture

seventeen reindeer, which would have
been provision for Il month, and would
have allowed us to explore much further,
but the Esquimaux were afraid of some
hostile tribes of natives in The vicinity,
and absolutely refused to go on"
"Did you have any great obstacle to

Yes; during the first three years we
suffered good deal, but afterwards had
not so much trouble"

From the New York World
From the Frozen Seas.

Captain G. f. Hall, the returned Arc
tic Explorer, last night, at late hour,
paid visit with friend, to the edito-
rial rooms Of the World. The following
particulars of the conversation which
took place at the time cannot but inte-
rest our readers, and will supplement the
report of his explorations which Captain
Hall has made to Mr.. Henry Grinnell,
of this city, and will soon be ready for
publication.
Captain Hall is good specimen of
manly, hardy and unpretentious sailor,
who talks in simple, straightforward
manner of his experience, aud makes
light of having spent about FIVE years
within the frozen circle of the arctic
zone. He looks stout and hearty, and
apparently none the worse for his rough
experience. 1t may seem strange, after
such long absence, that he is eager to
return to the scene of his adventures :;
yet he expresses strong hopes to start
next year on an expedition in search OF
the North Pole.
HIS COMPANIONS.
He is accompanied by three Esqui-
maux, husband with his wife aud
adopted child, who bear the English
uames of Joe, Hannah and Silvia. They
understand our language, having visited
this country at the time Captain Hall
was last here, and are pleasant aud intel
ligent looking persons. They are low
browed, small eyed, thick-set, wit h
straight hair and chubby, ungraceinl
forms, characteristic of their race, aud
quite different from our idea of beauty
They resemble somewhat the lower class
Of German and Irish emigrants, and are
= littlo like the Chinese in appearance.
They enjoy civilized life very much, and
are quite pleased to make second visit
to the United States. The climate is
rather unsuited to their constitutions and
nsualNnode of life, but they soon get ac
customed to it,

"A washington correspondent Of the New

Notwithstanding positive assurance to the con-

best grounds for belief that the Supreme Court
ofthe United States has decided the legaltender
act unconstitutional. He adds: "Men OF promi-
nence who inclined to this belief previously, have,
since the reading of the Presidents message,
been convinced "What does that return TO
specie payments mean?" asks one. "Simply that
the lcgal-tender act is unconstitutional, and the
Supreme Court has forced the recommendation,
was the answer. "Let them decide as we know
they will decide and where will we be?" These
remarks occurred among the congressional
fnanclers of the Republican persuasion, and have

Hubbard.

Chief Constable Hubbard has submitted
his first (and We hope last) annual report OF
the State constabulary, in which he reconl-
mends that the constabulary guard at Able
vile and Edgcfield be increased to fifty men,
and that the same number of cOnstables be
stationed in Chester, Newberry and Union.
The cost of sustaining the constabulary. force
during the year is l,492, the tota! appro-
p7iation being 1000. TO justify this ex-
travagant outlay, Constable Hubbard says:
''Crmes of all kinds have been numerous
throughout the State, and it has been almost
Impossible to effect the arrest Of murdercrs
and other criminals, for the reason that they
have received aid at al times from tlcir
friends. In many instances purses have been
made up to enable them to leave the State.
Provisions have been furnished them while
lying secreted in the woods and swamps, and,
in some cases, parties have been regularly de-
tailed to remain with them and warn them of
the approach Of officers Of the law. Yet not
withstandlng these difficulties, the force has
succeeded in arrestinga number Of offenders,
as the table will show"
This is a very pretty story for thirty-one
thousand dollars The table spoken of by
Hubbard shows the .vilowirg arrests:
'Rscapaulation.-Bigamy, l; arson, 2; rape,
1; larceny, 1O7; dlsorderly conduct, lS; assault
and battery, 1853; assault and battery with in

IT WILL be seen by reference to the letter OF
our Washington correspondent that the bill
to pay Southern officials who could not take
the iron-clad oath is again before Congress,
and will probably pass both Houses without
material opposition. The bill isjust and right
and none of the old talk about "test oaths"
and "rebellious sentiment" can well be
used against it at the present time.

the offender and make crime odious.
