A Look at Wall Street.

[From the Evening Mail
If you go down to Wall street you
will find the bluest, most stirred,
hopeless. woe-begone set OF unfor-
tuuates to be seen anywhere. The
bottom is all out. Everything is
going to ''the demnition bow-wows,
and a general ''bust-up" is as firmly
believed in as the Second Advent
used to be by the Millerites. Just
now Wall street is good place to
keep away from, if you want to be
cheerful and keep your head clear
and level. But outside of that limit
ed arena of sacrifice of gored bears or
laeerated bulls the aspect of the sit
uation is quite cheerful. While Lake
Shore stock is running down to mos
melancholy depths of depression, the
road is doing an unparalleled busi-
ness, having earned nearly S2,OOO,-
900 more this year than during the
same time last. The earnings of
about twenty-five roads show an in
crease of receipts last month over
those of September, 1872, of more
than ten per cent. OF course there
are sensible men by the thousands,
here and across the water, who will
"pick up" the low stocks. The vas
produce movement does not stop in
sympathy with Wall street dullness
Yesterday, for instance, 336,351 bush
els OF wheat arrived here-about he
average receipts. Gold is coming
over at the rate of 100000 week
We are rapidly nearing resumption
Yet Wall street is not happy.

THE FATE OF FRANKLIN.

4 Shocking Secret OF Polar
History Revealed = ChiVal-
roUs Reticence of Captain
Hall.
The Buddington party saved much
valuable manuscript from the wreck
of the Polaris, but Mr.. Smith, of Tes-
suisak, is said to have documents
which belonged to Captain Hall, quite
as valuable as any others likely to
have been left by him. Hall and Bis
sells both frequented Smiths house,
and, meeting there one evening, came
to very strong language regarding
each other. Subsequently Hall con-
fded to Smith four boxes, some of
which referred to his researches into
the fate of Sir John Franklin. Hall
had never permitted these notes to be
published, being determined, he said,
to keep the secret till after the death
of Lady Franklin, out of regard to
her feelings The suppressed data
were to the awful purport that Frank
Inns party we're reduced to eating
each other. The discovery or evi-
dence of such calamity, awful as it
was, would of course have added a
great exploit to the list of Halls
achievements. To keep ever about
with him these precious memoranda
for which he had sought so arduous-
ly, to delay, as it proved, beyond his
own death, the full realization of his
fame, out of regard to the feelings OF
the aged and mourning widow, makes
altogether an exhibition of real chiv-
airy that attests the true hero stuff in
this man. It is not alone his ice
hewn grave that challenges the world.
The heart within it was born brave
and tender.

WORKING MEMS SONG


By HENRY CLAY PREUss.
Whom do we call our heroes7
To whom our praises sing?
The pampered child of fortune,
The titled lord or king? tEr-F
They live by others labor,
Take all, and nothing give.
The noblest types of manhood
Are they that work to i've
CHoEUs.-Then, honor TO our working men,
The hardy sons of toll,
The heroes of the workshop,
The monarchs of the soil.
Who spans the earth with iron?
Who rears the palace dome?
Who creates for the rich man
The comforts of his home?
1t is the patient tOiler;
All honor to him, then;
The true wealth of the nation
Is in her working men.
For many barren ages
Earth hid her treasures deep,
And all her giant forces
Seemed bound as in sleep;
Then LabOr's anvil chorus
Broke on the startled air,
And, 10! the earth In rapture
Laid all her riches bare.
'Tis toll that over nature
Gives man his proud control;
1t puriies and hallows
The temple of the soul;
1t scatters foul diseases,
With all their ghas;ly train;
Puts iron in the muscle,
And crystal in the brain.
The great Almighty Builder
Who fashioned out this earth, ~
Has stamped his seal of honor
On Labor from her birth.
In every angel flower
That blossoms from the sod,
Behold the master touches
The handiwOrk of God.

The PoIaris Survivors.

close upon Ine ulscOYery VI Iuo
fate of the Polaris comes the news OF
the rescue of her missing crew. All
of that Acrtic party are now back safe,
and had their enthusiastic and reso-
ute leader, Capt. Hall, been permit
ted to return, the expedition would
have been regarded as a conspicuous
success. The survivors of the Polar
is, after having made their way south
ward with great difficulty, were pick
ed up on the 2Oth of July by the
whaler Ravenscraig, and subsequent
ly transferred to the Arctic, which
landed them at Dundee on the 18th
of September. Their story of the
separation from the Tyson Party was
naturally sought with no little eager
ness, and, so far as reported, it seems
satisfactory. 1t is substantially thus:
The Polaris had been leaking badly
before the 18th of October, 1872, and
her situation ultimately became so
alarming that it was deemed advisa-
BILE to make preparations to abandon
her. The determination to leave the
ship was arrived at on the 18th Of
October. Some of the crew remain
ed aboard, while others landed on the
ice, and they began to get out stores,
with the intention of taking every
thing they could need for long So
journ in those frozen regions. Be
tween ten and twelve o clock at night,
while this work was proceeding, q
very severe gale sprang up, and the
snow began to fall heavily, with
strong but variable winds. Opera
tions, however, were continued, and
after untiring efforts the boats were
got upon the ice and large quantity
of provisions taken out. Suddenly
the hawsers by which the ship was
made fast to the ice gave way-one
swapping, the other tearing its an
Choir from its lodgment in the ice.
This was about midnight. The Po-
laris drifted away, those on board
being powerless to do anything for
their comrades on the ice. In a
short time the storm and darkness
shut out every object from their view.
The feelings of the men can be i'm
agined as, with half the crew left to
perish, as they supposed, in the desert
of ice and snow, the ship fioated
away helpless, until at last she
brought up at Life Boat Cove.
At the session of the British Asso-
ciation at Bradford, on 21st ult.
Capt. Markham, of the British Navy
who was on board of the Arctic wher
she received the men rescued iron
the Polaris, gave detailed account
of the voyage of Capt. Hall, which
he gathered from the members of the
expedition. He said the Polaris oc-
cupied only five days in making thu
distance from Cape Shackleton north
ward to latitude 50 deg. l6 min
This was the nearest point to thu
North Pole ever reached by civilized
man. The ice was soft all the way
and stronger vessel could have at
tanned a higher latitude. The Lon
don Observer closes q eulogy on the
late Capt Hall as follows: 9Th
rude wooden monument to the In
trepid American, standing alone IL
the Polar solitude, is at the sam
time grand mortal, trophy ant

Revenue from Alaska.

Two rocky islets belonging to
Alaska are leased to a Fur Company
for S55,OOO per year. A duty of
three dollars per skin is also levied
upon all the fur-seals shipped from
these islands. This duty amounts
to three hundred thousand dollars
yearly. Thus we derive q very fair
income already from this derided
real. estate speculation.

THE WORLD AND 1.

Whether my heart be glad or no,
The summers come, the summers go,
The lanes grow dark with dying leaves;
Icicles hang beneath the caves;
The asters wither to the snow: s
Thus doth the summer end and go,
Whether my life be glad or no.
Whether my life be sad or no,
The winters come, the winters go;
The sunshine plays with baby leaves;
Swallows build about the caves,
The lovely wind-howers bend and blow;
Thus doth the winter end and go,
Whether my life be sad or no.
Yet Mother Nature gives to me
A fond and patient sympathy;
In my own heart find the charm
To make her tender, near, and warm;
Through summer sunshine, winter snow,
She clasps me. sad OF glad or no.

Paerges, P,~'ities, and Strengthens
the lNnStelil.

DR.. TUTT's PILLS are composed of many ingredi-
enfs Prominent among them are Sarsaparilia and
Mild Cherry so united as to act together; the one,
through its admixture with other substances puri-
fying and purging; while the other is strengthening
The svsten. Thus these Pills are at the same time
a tonic aud a cathartic, desideratum long sought
for by medical men, but never before discovered
In other words, they do the work OF two medicines
and do it much better than any two we know OF, for
they remove nothing from the system but lmpuri-
ties so that while they purge theJ also strengthen
and hence they cause no debility and are iono"ed
by no reaction.
DIR. TUTT's PILLS have q wonderful influence on
the blood. They not only purify without weaken
ing II, but they remove all noxiOus parocles from
the cIyle befare if Is converted into fluid, and thus
makes impure blood an utter impossibiilty. AS
there Is no debllitation, there is no nausea OF
sickness attending the operation of this most excel
lent medicine which never strains or tortures the
digestive organs, but causes them to work in per
fectly natural manner; hence persons taking them
do not become pale and emaciated but on the con-
trary, while all impurities are being removed, the
combined action of the Sarsaparilia and Wild Cher

Fashions for Ladies',

The New York Post of late date
gives the following intelligence con-
corning the latest fashions, which
will be interesting to our lady read
OUTSIDE GARMENTS.
These are prettier than they have
been for many years. They have a
jaunty, coquettish air, and seem to
belong to the saucy little hats set far
back on the head The English walk
ing jacket is revived, and is one of
the most comfortable and completely
usefnl of sacques. 1t is made of all
kinds Of rough cloths, and finished
as before, with velvet, silk, and vel
veteen. 1t is more frequently clo-
sed by metal and jet buttons than
heretofore; and sometimes asserts its
right to novelty by appearing in jet
passenoenterie. But generally it sticks
to its plain facings and cordings, and
is no loser in beauty thereby. Now
and then you see it in some light
cloth, covered with braiding and en-
broidery, and picked out with jet
even steel sometimes-but there is
a rare and not attractive combination
of styles.
Sacques, slashed and half fitting as
of old, though rather longer and with
large, winglike sleeves generally
having coat sleeve inside), are
made in various light cloths, both in
dark and light colors. These are
much embroidered, by machine and
by hand, and bravely decked with
beads.
Indeed, the passion for beads and
bead trimmings has come back with
full force, and they will appear on all
garments and on all fabrics. 1t
seems odd that well directed tastes
should admire such masses of cheap
and gaudy glitter, and imagine it to
be in the least artistic. A trife OF
jet, now and then, is notobjectionable
on some somber hued, heavy stuff
but such pounds of it as are often
seen are nothing less than vulgar.
The novelty is kind of cut away
paletot saeque, if such phrase may
be used. It is little mannish in
general appearance, but sufficiently
feminine to be very pretty and, infer
entially, becoming. 1t almost fits the
figure behind, and the skirts are cu
IF and sewed on just like paleto
coat; while secondary set of skirts
smaller and shorter, are sewed OIL
above. In front it is closed on tht
breast with a single button over 0
simulated vest of cloth. There is ;
rolling coat collar and severely
shaped cuffs, and the whole carmen
Of black cloths corded peacocl
green silk--the introduction of th'
color being the sole blemish. Th'
Jacket is most difficult to describe
but very pretty, and is called tn
Diana. Sacques seem to be divided
between the widely double breasted
and those so single breasted as TO b
held only by one or. two fastenings.
There are also numerous cloaks in
tended for carriage use and very colo
weather. They are long sacques il
form, sometimes slightly fitted be
mind; are made of heavy, rough fan
nelly cloths, lined with bright colore'
flannel, and trimmed with broa,
gimp and fur. These wraps-they ar
nothing more-are not at all elegant
though extremely comfortable.

SLEEVELESS JACKETS.

Among the most convenient and
attractive articles of a lady's wardrobe
are sleeveless jackets, covering all
sorts of defects, and freshening an old
dress wonderfully. When fashion
and economy join hands for an in
stant, let not the opportunity slip.
The jackets are of velvet, crepe
de chine, foulard for evening wear,
and of cashmere and flannel for morn
ming. They are made with perfectly
plain square position backs and
tab fronts; or with simple basques,
minus all trimming save asingle cord.
A very dainty jacket of lavender silk
is trimmed with fine cluny lace, fol
lowing the edge of the plated basque
behind, in a double row up the back,
round the heart shaped and the edge
of the front corners, so rounded as
to admit of but single silver button
in front.
Another jacket is of black velvet,
high in the neck, and with a simple
basque. This is finished with heavy
jet worked passementerie and band
of ravens wing feathers.
A pretty jacket for morning is o.
blue cashmere, braided with blacl
and white soutache; and 80 on il
endless variety.
