THE RESCUED OF THE POLARIS
A Sketch of their Experience.

LONDON, Sept, 10. The steamer Arc
tic brought to Dundee ten members of
the Polaris expedition. They are all in
excellent health. Three others were
transferred by the Ravenscraig to the
whaler Intrepid, which is expected to
arrive at Dundee in two CT three weeks.
After separation from Tyson and his
companions, the PoIaris was finally
abandoned in sinking condition by
Capt. Buddlngton, and the remainder of
the expedition was partly wintered in
the lifeboat Cave, where they build
timber house covered with sails. The
winter was passed without any event
except the breaking out of the scurvy,
which, however, was unattended by Sc
we're symptoms. Plentiful supplies of
walrus liver for food was obtained from
the natives. and to this diet is attributed
the mildness of the disease. In the
spring two boats were built of thin pine
boards taken from the cabin of the Po-
laris. In these the whole party en-
parked as soon as the ice opened and
sailed southwark. On the Sd of June
they sighted Cape York, and on the 22d
of the same month they were picked up
by the Ravenscraig. Mr.. Chester. first

he made small venture in this line,
though he did not have very sanguine
expectations of success. A young man,
at that time clerk in the store of Mr..
A. I. Stewart, had become infatuated
upon the subject of flying, and BarnuIn
advanced him $500 for the construction
of a pair of wings. The arrangement
was that if he succeeded in flying. he
was to fly for him in his museum from
the gallery down to the stage and back
again. After his wings were finished
he made an attempt to fly from the top
of building in New York, but met
with disastrous fall, breaking his wings
and fracturing some of his bones. How
ever, Barnum starts for Europe, next
Wednesday, to consult with the most
eminent and successful navigators of the
air and obtain their opinion as to the
best materials and shape for the great
balloon which he proposes to construct

STATE FINANcEs.-The New York
Evening Post says: Vermont must be
the 'banner State as regards the con-
dition of its finances. The debt of the
State is only sl95,649, while the treas
ury contains almost quarter of mil
lion dollars, and is credited with large
amount of uncollected taxes. The cur
rent liabilities of the State are only
about thirty thousand dollars, the gov
eminent is economical and there are no
Tweeds in prospect. Last year $4,000
of the debt was paid. 1t seems to be
possible for Vermont to rid heraelf of
all debt in year or two, and if things
go on in this way it viii soon have a
surplus fund, the interest of which will
pay the cost of government, and taxes
may be abolished.
