"Listen to these terrible words.
They will show you how keenly and
fiercely feel the humiliation of Reu-
ben III. Walworth's will, and what
Scot, the descendant of King Malcolm
will do when all has been taken from
him. Reuben I'll. WalWorth laways
hated me from my cradle. He always
hated anyone who was high spirited
and would speak out their thoughts.
He liked cringing hypocrites, like
Eliza Backqs and Clarence WalWorth.
Although he saw my ambitious spirit
he hated it because it would not toady
to his faVorite Yankees. Hence from
my cradle he prosecuted me, and head
ed me off in every pursuit or specu-
lation, could not please him in any,
thing, because / would not whine to
him about his fayorites, Everything
that ever wrung from him, even my
pay in the Speke case, was Wrung
from his fears. The only reason that
he did not omit my name from the
will altogether was because he respect
ed my talents, and hoped that would
his life; he knew that nobody else
would. But he has stung me to mad
ness and broken up my family by
placing me In the humiliating position
of being under q trustee, and that
trustee my brother, who has neither
ambition nor heart. From his grave
he glares at me and says, Ha, ha
You were always proud and high
spirited but by my will / have put in

no dignity under it, and it will sting
you to your grave, The only ones Of
my name who have any dignity under

Arctic ExDIorafioDs

MI Element NJ ARK ham, IN his address before
the geographical section of the British assnc-
alton in regard 20 Arctic explorations SAID: The
event, which, during the present year, has add
cd most powerfully to the arguments in favor
of an Arctic expedition by way of Smith sound
is the news OF the remarkable success of Capt.
Halls expedition. The intrepid explorer sail
ed in g wooden river gunhoat of $50 tons, with
out the aid of naval discipline or Of experienced
officers, and Of crew consisting partly OF Es-
quimanN and their wives. NetduriHg the month
August, Isl !, he sailed up the long straight or
channel, the entrance TO which Is alone called
Smith sound, ana reached a latitude Of So lG'
north. This is the most northern point that any
vessel has ever yet reached. Here the little
steamer was beset, but there was a water hOri-
zon to the northeast, and this point had been at
tanned without check OF obstacle of any kiRd.
Capt Hall died during the winter, and has the
glory of finding final resting place in the midst
OF his discoveries. A current of about knot
an hour carried the vessel out into Bsffin's bay,
and disasters followed which are exclusively re-
feTable to the orggni ZatiOn of the expedition,
and would not have occurred to a ship COM
manded by naval officers and manned by man
Of-war's men. The dangers of Arctic naviga-
ton are thoroughly understood; and all author
tiles are unanimous in the opinion that. with
modern appliances and by working in the light
of former experience, there is no undue risk in
Arctic service, provided that the expedition is
under naval discipline and government con-
troll.
