NOVEMBER, 1869.
The city at this season is exceedingly
gay. The streets are Kaleidoscope with
hurryiug crowds in newest habiliments
of brightest colors. Never before did
color seem to be used to such advantage.
We no longer see the patch work looking
toilettcs of many tn's, but good service
able looking self-colered suits, trimmed
with material of different texture but the
same color. Besides the suit proper
which may be of silk or velvet or cloth
or satiu-plaid shawls or burnous are
worn, or striped barnous, or showicr still,
burnous of selfcolored cloth, heavily
embroidered. One Of the latter recently
ordered by Mlle.---' the distinguished
Prina Donna, was of bright scarlet cloth
of the finest texture; it was so shaped
that it answered for a mantle with hat.
IN which state it was suitable for pro-
menade, or without a hat it formed a
mantle and hood suitable tor carriage
wear, for the opera or as a sortie du JuL.
The mantila ends of the fronts were
made long enough to cross on the breast

the edges, on the shoulders, the ends.

broidered in floral pattern, in varied

HIS JOURNAL.

Captain Hall has number of curios-
ties with him, one Of the .rost interest
ing OF which is his Journal, a large blank
book, full of notes hastily written with
lead pencil at all times and places, aud
often under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances. Its pages contain the re-
cord of many weary days of hardship
and suffering, aud accounts of moving
incidents by food and field, such us are
rarely to be met with. In order to pre-
vent the writing from being blurred, the
pages have been dipped in preparation
OF glue made from fishes, so that it re-
taias sticky feeling

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 little village neur Repulse
Bay, and was rather unusual circuln-
stance. Thc 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 moles, 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 the 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 lifo

"Wcll, where will your fathers be

That's right. And who will own
this property then? ?"'
"Us boys !" shouted the urchins.
"Right Now, tell me-did you ever,

Keys to Success.

Man is like snow ball. Leave him
lying in idleuess'ag the sunny fence
of prosperity, and all the good that is in
him melts like butter; but kick him
round and he gathers strength with every
successive revolution, until he grows into
an avalanche. To succeed, you must
keep moving.
The world-renowncd Rothschilds as
cribe their success to the following rules
BE on hand make a bargain at once.
Never have anything to do with an uu,
lucky man or plan. Be cautious aud
bold.
David Ricardo, the celebrated politi-
cal economist, had what he called his
own three golden rules the observance
of which he used to press on his friends.
They were: Never refuse an opinion
when you can get it. Cut short your
losses. Let your profits run on.
John Jacob Astor, when requested to
furnish incidents of his life, replied,
my actions must make my life"
Stephen Girard's fundamental maxim
was, "take care of the cents, the dollars
will take care of themselves"
Robert Bonner who made a fortune in
four years out of the New York Ledq,r.
attributes his success entirely to his
persistent: repeated and genercus adver-
tising." I'll
Amos Lawrence said, when asked for
advice Young man, base all your ac-
tions upon principle Of right; preserve
your integrity of character, aud in doing
this never reckon the cost" 3t
"Niany a man has lost being great
man by splitting into two middling
ones Phillips.
John Frocdley's nevcr-varying motto
was: "Self-dependence and selfreli-
ance." He says: "My observations
through life satisfy me that at least nine
tenths of those most successful in busi-
ness, start in life without any reliance
except upon their own heads and hands
hoe their own row from the jump"
Nicholas Longworth, the Cincinnati
millionaire, says: Il have always had
two things before me; do what you un
dertake thoroughly. BE faithful in all
accepted trusts"
L. L. Barnum, the noted exhibitor,
ascribed his success in accommodating a
million dollars in ten years, to the un-
limited use of-printers ink
John Randolph said: Mr.. Speaker.
| have found the philosophers stone; it
Is, 'Pay as you go"
A. I. Stewart, merchant prince of
New York, says: No abilities, however
splendid, can command success without
intense labor and pcrseverng applioa-
ton"
Half the failures in life arise from
the pulling In of ones horse as he is

success in life; and, bysgcneral consent,
success is evidence of superio, w.

Hoes WANT Whether
hogs require sulphur as essential to their
health, or whether it is sought by them
as condimcnt may not he known for
certainty. Bat one thing is sure, thcv
devour it with greed whenever it is to be
found. 1t is for this purpose, probably,
that they cat large quantities of soft
coal which contain large amount of
sulphur. Perhaps this is the most
economical method Of supplying hogs
with sulphur during the winter, when
they require good deal of carbon. But
in The summer. it is better to feed it 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 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.

From the New York World.
From the Frozen Seas.

Captain G. +. 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, aud 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 a
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.

"Well, yes, it must be admitted they

"What is the result of your researches
In relation to Franklin ?"
briefly this: We have settled beyond
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 communications. To him, there

the discovery, though Captain Mcclure
has received the reward offered by the
British government to the person who
should succeed in the effort"

did, it is useless to think of how much
more might have been accomplished If

of resolute white men to back me, |
think | might have gone on. We were
lucky enough to meet with aud capture

seventeen reindeer, which would have

have allowed US to explore much further,

maux, husband with his wife aud
adopted child, who bear the English
names of Joe, Hannah and Silvia. They
understand our language, having visited
this country at the time Captain Hall

straight hair and chubby, ungraceiul

quite different from our idea of beauty.
They resemble somewhat the lower class

They enjoy civilized life very much. and
