An Areslc story.

In the spring of the year 1910, a aWhal-
inc vessel sailed from the port of Lon
don upon voyage to the Polar Seas
Nothing material is said to have occur
red until their arrival in those solitary
regions, when it became the duty OF the
crew 10 keep perpetual look out upon
the horizon in search of fish. While thus
occupied, it was fancied by one of the
seamen that a sail was discernable, as far
to the northWard as the eye could reach.
As the course of'the whaler was towards
the supposed vessel, a mast beca me grad
ually distinEuishable amidst the noun
tain of ice, which appeared in that quar-
ter to bound the sea. 1t was now sum-
mer, and the afternoon unusually CAIN,
whilst the whaler gradually neareu the
object in view, the supposition oelnR tnas
1t was a vessel engaged in operating uPGn
the bluhber in n hay when Wouiu ue
open to view upon approaching nearer
to the ice Unon ARRIVING, however, az
ihe snot II became clear that the Vessei
r1os z ,s,oclr embedded in ice, and could \
nnIv he approached by boat. ms uaV-
;nrc been lowered, the captain ana sever
~ 81 tbe seamen landed upon the ice ana u
nroceeded to the vessel, which proved 10 l
brir. The sails were furled, very \

: arrangements were those of vessel laid /
mn for long period of time: Descend
ing TO the cabin, the first object that was !
seen was large New FoundlEnd, dog |
coiled upon mat, and apparently asleep. \
Upon touching the animal,it was found /
TO be dead, and the body frozen to the
hardness OF II stone. Entering the cabin,
was next seen young lady seated at Ia
bic her eyes were open, gazing with a
mild and steadfast expression upon the
new corners of that solitary spot. She
was corpse and in that apparently re-
signed and religious attitude had been
frozen to death. Beside her was q young
man, who, it appeared, was the brother
Of the lady and commander of the brig.
He, too, was dead, but sitting at the table,
and before him lay sheet OF paper, NPSn
which was written In the follow
words Our cook has endeavored siNee
yesterday morning to light a fire, bug IN
vain all Is now over" At the ot1ea
side Of the cabin stood the cook, wltE
flint and a steel in her hand, frozen 20
statue, in the vain endeayor 10 proeuIS
that fire which alone could save hllh anu
his COMPANIONS from the cold arms OF
death. The superstitous terrors OF the
searnen now hurried the captain away

The Louisville Courier Journal,
the leading Democratic organ of
Kentucky, sums up the condition of
things in that State, which is under
Democratic rule exclusively, in this
manner ..s
"Every case of manslaughter goes I
unpunished. Every case Of shooting
with intent to kill passes as an
amusing episode, provided there is
no funsraK Even the most atrocious,
eold-bloodef, deliberate, Malignant
dastardlv assinssinations have left no
marx on the statute books except
fba mark of acquitals purchased BY
M ,nonao. or intimidation. Red-hapded
murderers roam at large among re-
spectacle people. Red-handed muir
derers occupy places of hone. and
trust. The rule is that you may
kill your man with impunity. There
is 40 danger of the gallows or the
prison for the assassin who has
money and friends"

hostile Indians being on the war path,
and a white man stands but a poor chance
OF his life if he meets them. The Indians
belonging here have not as yet been in
duced to join the general movement,
which, if we may believe the papers we
receive, is on foot They are peaceful
and quiet and we have every reason to
believe that they will remain so. To the
sportsmani I would say, ,Fiuxuries are not
to be obtained in this country, ard arms
OF fancy patterns find little favor in the
eyes of the trontiersman The Henry re-
peating rifle is the most desirable for
general use, from the rapidIty with which
il can be used in the case of an Indian at
tack. For pistols, Colts Navy, or Smith
d Wesson's A or As calibre are consid-
cred the best. A pistol SO calibre, such
as l have, is laughed at,
Enjoyments aside from hunting are
few, and time hangs heavily. The occa-
sional arrival of scout connected with
the boundary survey is a positive excite
mcni, and when the mail arrives, say
once in two weeks, all work is suspend
ed Tor the time being. With the arrival
ot the In iiaHs from their summer hunt
there will be more activity and life, and
time will pass more pleasantly however,
we do not complain, but enjoy ourselves
10 the bust of our ability.
