A POlariS Council,

Morton speaks of q consultation be-
tween Hall and the officers of the
Polaris, held about the beginning Of
September, 1871, with regard to their
mode of procedure. 1he!question was,
Shall we go north or seek harborage
here, if the turn of the season is now
taking place? At this consultation
there were present Buddington, Ches-
ter, Tyson, the Doctor and Morton.
The ice was beginning to come down
in our channel in dense packs, but
there were still two channels or leads
along each of the shores. Hall asked
the Doctor for his opinion frst-asking
him first, as Morton naively says, be-
cause he was probably the least capable
of giving an opinion, being landsman.

some water, and to go north yet as far
as possible. | was asked next, says
Morton, and | concurred with the Doc

north as possible to prosecute the OBJ
ject of our expedition but, in the
meantime, to look ont for good winter
quarters in case we should be beset.
Not to go back on any account, because
cup there every mile is a mile. Ty-
son followed, and said, "Look out for
winter quarters-f harbor immedi.

Taking Wild Horses.

The editor of the Pleasanton Stock
Journal thus gives the mOdus operandi
of capturing wild horses in Texas: "As
soon as a herd of horses is discovered.
the party of hunters divide, one portion
striking camp while the other sets off in
pursuit of the herd. The frightened
animals go bounding across the prairie
through the prickly pear and dense
chaparral, leaving a trail which the
hunters steadily pursue at an easy gait,
until they come in sight of the herd,
which scampers off as before. These
tactics are kept up bp pursuers for DAYS,
the mustangs returning to their first
starting point-which they are sure to
do-when the camping party takes the
place of the tired pursuers, and thus
follow the herd until the poor, wearied,
and half-starved creatures, with swollen
limbs and bloodshot eyes, give up the
struggle and submit to be driven any.
where. The object of the hunters has
been merely to keep close enough TO the
mustangs to prevent them grazing.
Starvation soon brings them TO terms.
and the prairie monarch, with dropping
crest and detected look, leaves his ma,
tive wilds henceforth TO become the
slave of man. This is what hunters cali
walking mustangs down."

HumOrs of the Panic,

A fair exponent of the financial sltua.
ton may be found in the story of the
Texan cattle drover, who arrived in
Chicago with lot of prime cattle,
which he readily sold at a good price,
supposing he would be paid in green.

certified check" which he roughly re.
fused, remarking, "He'd be hanged il
he'd take that kind of paper. 1t would
be great thing for him to show in
Texas for his cattle?"
Another drover at Indianapolis de.
handed currency for his steers. the
value of which came to SO, 600, but nc
such sum could be scraped together in
those panic times, so the purchaser
finally raked up $1,000 in small Gov
