Periis of Arctic Navigation.

The New York Herald publishes
long account of the voyage of the
British steamer Pandora to the
Arctic seas. 1t contains some items
Of interest to those versed in the
record of polar discovery, but they
are hardly ineligible without ref
erance to a map. The Pandora
did not go nearly as far north as
Kane and Halls expeditions, but
steered westward through Lancas-
ter Sound and Barron's Strait, in
search both of Franklin relics and
a northwest passage. At "North-
cumberland House," a station
where provisions had been left by
former navieators, they found the
white bears had been at work. We
quote:
Northumberland House had been
broken into, and at first glance il
seemed as IL nearly all the stores
left here by former expeditions had
been destroyed. The ground wa:
covered with tins Of meat, pemi-
cans and vegetables, bales Of clothes
and rolls Of blankets, bundles o'
flannel, heaps Of clothing, hanks o.
yarn, hundreds OF pairs OF wooler
socks and mittens scattered about

The Strange Prophecy.

They were two stalwart whaling
captains-Barker and Stephens
/ should say that the former was
six feet six inches in height, while
the latter lacked not more than
two inches of reaching the same
altitude. AS those two tall skip
pers stepped on board of our ship,
when we were trying-out blubber
on the coast of Japan, they re-
minded me Of Cooper and Conway
on the boards of the old Park The
atre, the former as Brutus, and the
latter as Marc Antony, in the play
of Julious Caesar.
These two captains were slender
and straight and moved as if they
were rather proud of over-topping
our captain, who, though man OF
medium size, looked quite diminu-
tive when contrasted with his lofty
visitors.
1t has been said that large and
powerful men are good natured.
Such is not always the case. We
had a man on board the frigate
Guerriere named John Macauley,
who was nearly seven feet in height
and who would never attack but
one man on board the ship--whose
name IL Is not necessary to men,
tion--who was nearly as tall and
much stouter than himself; while
on the other hand, this man would
fly at little fellows and give them
a drubbing when they offended
him.
The two gigantic whaling cap
tains resembled the latter more
than they did Macaulcy. On pre-
vious voyage they had ill-treated Q
poor, friendless boy, nearly killing
him, for which they had to pay
heavy damages on their ships re-
turn to port. At that time Stephens
was captain and Barker was hi'
mate.
But one would hardly have sus
pected them of being such crue
fellows when they came on boart
Of us. They were very smiling
and pleasant, and joked with oul
captain and mates, and even looked
kindly upon the crew.
Their two ships sailed In com
pany with ours few days, wheI
we parted from them in gale tina
fattened the seas like q marble
floor. We saw no more Of then
till wc were on the way home. w
had not yet broken mp and throw'
our try-works overheard, as W
still had room for few barrels 0
oil.

Who Knows 4!

Who knows where pins and needles go,
Where all the buttons stray
Who knows where all the pennies go
That sometimes get away
Who knows how all the china breaks
That wasn't touched a. all !
How baby got so black bruise
And never had a fall
Who knows whence all the fashions come
And where they disappear
Why one brief month should make fright
OF what was "such dear ?"
Who knows how little bills can swell
To such prodiglous size
Who knows, indeed, what's going on
Eencath his very eyes
Who knows where her husband goes
When business keeps him out :
Who knows when bsst 10 wear a smile
And when TO wear pout'
Who knows the time to face the fact
That she's no longer young
Who knows how best to speak her mind,
And how to hold her tongue!
Who knows the most convenient day
To bring a friend TO dine !
Who knows the half OF what he spends
On clubs, cigars and wines
Who knows one bonnet cannot last
A woman all her life 7
Who knows the woman is the same
When sweetheart turns to wifo {.
Who knows why all the pretty girls
Are often last to goi
How all the ugly women wed
Who never had beau
Why small men fancy wives so large,
And large men fancy small
Who knows, in fact, how half tho world
Was ever matched at all
Who knows how far TO trust friend,
How far 70 hate foe 7
just when to speak kindly yes,
And when sturdy no!
Who knows-the grim old Grecian sage
Says gravcly, save thyself,
The wisest man in all the world
Is he who knows himself

clinker-built shells rose and fell on
the billows, while the whales were
all around US. @
Twas at the tub-oar in the cap
tain's boat, and distinctly heard
captain Stephens call out to our
captain:
"Bet you an ounce / kill the
first whale"
In the next moment / heard a
hoarse cry as of number of voices,
and looking in the direction whence
it came, / saw all three boats Of
the other ship lying on their oars,
while the crew of the captains
boat were standing over something
in the bottom of it.
Our captain looked very grave,
and worked his steeting-oar till
our boat headed for that of Captain
Stephens. When we reached the
latter horrible sight met our gaze.
The headless trunk of Stephens
lay in the bottom of his boat, and
the blood spurted in torrents from
the arteries and jugular vein.
1t appears that the mates boat
had been nearly abreast that of his
captain. A young bull whale had
come up suddenly ahead of the
mates boat. The boatsteerer dart
ed both irons, and just grazed the
the whale, which whirled about
with a horizontal stroke of its
fukes, took off the head of Captain
Stephens. The CORY head was
thus driven forcibly toward the
mates boat, and struck the mate
on the breast, knocking him over
board. He was not so much hurt
but that he quickly regained his
place in the boat; but he looked
very pale and much agitated when
he Joined the cluster of boats that
gathered around the scene of blood
and slaughter.
AS l looked upon the body OF
Capt. Stephens, divested of its
head, felt q sudden shock as the
words of the old witch recurred to
me:
"You will be shorter before you
are longer"
The prophecy has been terribly
fulfilled and yet it was a safe one,
for there was no imaginable pro-
cess, now that the rack is no long
er in use, by which Stephens could
be made longer, while there were
many ways by which he might be
made shorter.
Even il a man lives to old age,
he becomes little shorter than he
was in his prime. 1t may there
fore be doubted whether the witch
really gave any tangible meaning
to her words. How could she have
conjectured that Captrin Stephens
wonld have his head knocked of
by q stroke from whales fukes
Slowly and sadly we returned to
the ship, while the whales, blowing
furiously, went off to windward
like a routed squadron Of mounted
Arabs.
Both ships went into Callao
where the decapitated commander
was buried with the usual rites
after which our captain sat dowr
to the melancholy duty Of inform.
ing the wife and children Of the
departed, of the catastrope that had
deprived them Of their best friend
