The steamer Tigress, rendered notable
i'll consequence of her rescuing the IN
fortunate Polaris party last year, and
later by her trip to the northern coast of
Greenland in search of the remainder of
the Captain Hall expedition, exploded
her boiler near st. Johns, Newfoundland
last Thursday. By this disaster twenty
two lives were lost. The Tigress first
came into public notice last May. having
on the 30th of the previous month res
cued Captain Tyson and eighteen other
members of the Captain Hall Arctic ex-
petition, who had become separated
from their associates and Lad drifted FOR
months on an ice-floe The story of the
rescued men induced the government to
sepd two vessels 10 the Arctic regions in
search of the remainder of Captain Halls
party. The naval steamship Juniata was
designed to lead the search, and the IT,
gress was purchased from her owners in
st. Johns, N. F., and fitted out to act as
consort: The expedition sailed on the
14th July, 1874, under command of Jas
A. Greer, That voyage is so recent tina,

was settled that Captain Buddington's
party had lost Polaris, and had started to-
ward civilization. The Tigress returned
to st. Johns, and has renamed there ev-

ICELAND AND ITS SCHOLARS.

The following letter has been written
by the Librarian of Cornell University,
Mr.. Fisk, toone Of the library men OF
New York:
"DEAR SIR This year, in the pleas
ant days between the fish harvest of the
spring and the bay harvest of the late
summer, the people of Iceland will cela-
brate sort of twin festival. They will
keep the millennial anniversary of the
islands colonization, and. at the same
time, will rejoice at the grant of a new
and passable liberal constitution by the
Danish king--a constitution which goes
into effect the 1st of August, and which
gives back to the country its old rights
of self-govcrnment.
at has seemed to re that it would be
a graceful act if few of the American
authors, institutions and publishers were
to join in these festivities by sending
to the National Library of Iceland lit,
tie collection of American books. This
library, situated a Reykjavik, the Ice
landic capital and site Of the college
now contains about 10000 volumes, bu
has nothing American except the Smith
sonian publications and some public doc
uments. There is also a second public
library at Akureyri, on the, northern
coast.
Mr.. Longfello v, Mr.. Curtis, the Ear
of Dnferin and several others hav'
promised their most cordial aid in tn
matter. do not know whether you ar
much int crested in the land of the Saga
men and Skalds, but am sure that th
!, scholars of Iceland will feel very CRATE
tul for any assistance of yours whicl
shall tend to increase their literar
stores. Many Of the three hundred Lu
therein clergymer of the island, and not
few others, read English. The peopl
generally still retain their old love o
