The Sickness and Death of Capt. Hall

lHC p1CAHcSS DtdJn VI Ohpts IA
A New York Herald correspondent
interviewed DIR. Bissell, the surgeon of
the Hall Arctic exploring expedition,
on the arrival of the Buddington party
at Dundee, Scotland. In relation to
the sickness and death of the chief of
the EXPEDITION, DIR. Bissel1 said
"Since arriving here we find by Amer
lean papers that several very silly and
absuad rumors of q mischievous ten
| dency have been abroad. 1t is quite
| possible that the Government at Wash
ington prefers that we reserve what we
have to say for graver discussion, but l
must emphatically contradict. the state
ment that Capt. Hall died other than a
natural death. He died of apoplexy.
He appeared to be in perfect health
when entering upon he voyage. L no.
| ticed nothing unusual in his health up
to the period of his illness. The rumor
that he was poisoned is too absurd to be
seriously entertained. The rumor may
have been founded on the hallucination
of the raving patient.
The Herald correspondent adds !:
| Schumann, the engineer, says that Hall
was in continual apprehension of being
shot, but was not aware that any one
member of the crew more than another
excited his suspicious. Another phase
of his mania was q determination not to
eat or drink anything unless it was first
tasted by some person. The tasting
was mainly done by Hannah, the Es-
quimaux m When he rallied, and
for a while recovered his wonted intel
lect, he would say to Capt. Buddington,
If 1 die, you must still go on to the
North Pole" He would say, "My
last wish is that you strive to get to the
| North Pole. Don't let my death be a
hindrance to the accomplishment of
| this great undertaking."

were over, the boats were hauled upon
q foe, and everything taken out, and
the only hot meal of the day was pre-
pared.
The apparatus employed in cooking
was of the most primitive character.
Each boat carried a. Quantity of rigging
from the Polaris, and a cad of oil. With
these a fire was made in the bottom of
an old iron bucket. Tea was the only
thing that could be made with such an
apparatus. They state that the priva-
tions they suffered were not serious.
The life was rough, laborious, and
monotonous, but though dangers occa-
sionally presented themselves well cal
culated to inspire the greatest fear, III
serious accident occurred, and on the
Dist of June the boats reached Cape
York in safety.
Here they were again close beset with
ice. On the 22d their troubles came to
In end. A whaler was deserted q few
miles off, and the whole party was at
once in a turmoil of excitement. A
great fear seemed to take possession of
them all at once that the ship might get
away before they could make themselves
seen, and they put forth every effort to
to push through the ice with the least
possible delay. The vessel proved to
be the Ravenscraig, of Dundee, Capt.
Allan. She soon saw their signals, and
Capt. Allan sent his crew to their assist
ance, and took on board their effects
and one of their boats, the other being
left behind. Capt. Allan treated them,
they say, in the kindest and most gen.
erouS manner
Capt. Hall was regarded as peculiarly
adapted for the great enterprise under
his charge, and all lament his untimely
end. As to the statement that the ship
might have aided the party OF the ice,
Polaris broke adrift to learn even the
whereabouts of those left behind. Every
effort was made to find them, but to no
avail.

Jugs turned into hospitals. In fact, Shreve-
port is one great hospital, one great charnel-
house, and the Times merely a death-record:
The number of interments since the LIST of
September sums up 226. The number of sick
is variously estimated at from 500 to 800.
A SHREVEPORT (La.) dispatch of the goth
says there are less than 5000 people in the
town, 1000 of whom are either down with
fever or convalescing.
The yellowfever is rapidly abating at Shreve-
port and Memphis. IA series of railroad ac-
cidents, resulting in serious loss of life, occur
red in Georgia, o n the 22d of September,
caused by a. heavy rain-storm washing AWAY
culverts. AT Branchville a train ran into a
washed culvert, killing four persons. Another
train ran into a culvert near Millen, and three
persons were killed. All the killed were en-
ployes of the roads. Other accidents of a
minor nature are reported. The dwelling of
William Crouch, near Williamstown, KY, was
burned a few nights ago, and his wife, two
children, and an orphan boy named Dunn per-
ished in the flames.
A TERRIFIC storm recently visited Tallahas-
see, Fla, and vicinity. Many dwellings, and
gin-houses were blown down, and several
lives lost. The towns of st. Marks and New
port were swept away, only two houses being
left.
A BLOODY affray occurred near Bardstown,
KY, a few days ago, in which Columbus and
Reynolds Beam, brothers. were killed by G. w
and William Samuels, who surrendered them
selves to the authorities .Advices from
Brownsville, Texas, represent that the Mexi-
cans around Matamoras are preparing for a
foray into Texas, iii retaliation for Mackenzie's
raid into their country. IA duel is pending
between ex-Gueril1a Mosby and Col. Hughes,
Republican candidate for Governor of Vir-
ginia. The Attorney-Genera of Mississippi
has decided that no election for State officers
in that State can be held fer two years. This
will put an end to the canvass which has al
ready begun, and which has been 80 far prose-
suited with great bitterness,

BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF.

1t is self, in some form, that begets
all manner of impatience. We are, in
deed, never to approve of sin; we are
to wage ceaseless war with it, resist
ing, if need be, even unto blood. "
With blameless infirmities and short
comings, even, save only the inevitable,
we are not to be content. Aspiration
should characterize us-we should aim
in all respects at ideals. Yet there is a
fevercd restlessness, unreasonable, I'M
profitable dissatisfaction with ourselves,
against which it is wise to be ever on
our guard. There is pining for intel
lectual impossibilities, longing to pass
by bound, to the loftiest heights of
knowledge, a disquiet with the best
progress because it is so slow, petu-
liant disparagement of ones own facul-
ties, and murmuring because they are
not greater there is, withal, strain
put upon them at times, to the peril of
both body and mind, which, however
rare it may be, deserves the most en-
phatic apprehension. Had Henry Kirk
White, for example, been a little more
patient with himself, he had not, like
the wounded eagle,
" Viewed his own feather on the fatal dart"
We may well say, then, to every do
Gle, earnest soul: Be patient with thy
self. Covct, indeed, the best things,
both intellectual and moral, and with
all due diligence pursue them. But,
having done that, wear no hair-shirt,
give thyself no cruel fagellation, be-
cause of remaining deficiency. Thank
God for what has been done, and still
press onward. ID. Smith.
