The Most Northern Town in the
World.

Hammerfest is the most northern town
in the world. 1t has a population of
2,O57. There are many Laplanders and
Finlanders in the town. The principal
businessis in cod-liver oil and fish, and the
odor from the oil and fish makes it very
disagreeable. Reindeer and goats abound
here, while there are but six horses in
the town. The sun sets here November
Is, and does not rise again until January
2o. Children go to school with lanterns
for about six weeks. In the summer the
sun does not set from the first of June till
the 22d of July. There is no chance for
the hotel keepers to make any money on
candles, as they do in Germany and
France. had my photograph taken

here. Mrs. K. has already. She sits up
to one or two o'clock knitting socks, wait
ing for night to come. On the 9th of
June the Laplanders brought many chill
dren into town to have them baptized or
confirmed. Reindeer you can see, fifty
at time, on the side hills, and goats by
the hundreds. On June % (called here
St. Hans day. or midsummer day, they
kindled bonfres on the sides of the noun

The Last Illness Of the Emperor of

NEW YORK March, 5.-The following is the
most interesting account which has yet been
puhliShedOf the recent illness of the Emperor
OF China. His death had not occurrCl when
the letter was written. The Emperor was
taken with first symptoms of small pox, De
cember 9, and by one of those curious coin
cidences which Chinese are always looking
for and TO which they attach 50 much Signifi-
canoe, the attack was thought to be connected
with or

dant Of the Sun nothing could occur TO dim
the purity OF that Orb which would not be
portentous 10 its earthly representative
Thus the planet as IL crossed the Suns disk
was likeDed in size 10 pea, which IN Chinese
is called Tan, AID the pustules OF small pox
are likewise called Tan, the characters which
stand for the two words also resemble each
other. Hence to the Chinese mind a clear
connection between the transit and the inn

attack, regarded as the turning point oil the

that while this fell goddess is greatly dread

the use of any expressions which might
possibly provoke her anger. Thus, when
anybody is taken with any disease which

What Ru fms Hatch SayS.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The revolution i'm
Pacific Mail was the subject of general dis
cussion in Wall street yesterday. Rufus
Hatch, who still continues in the position of
managing director, said, in regard TO the
plans of the company: 1--WE shall reduce our
fleet. Now there are twenty-seven vessels in
active use. OF these we shall take one from
the New York and AspinwaIl line, two from
those plying between San Francisco and
Panama, and four from the China lines.
Some OF these will be taken of permanently,
and are ready for sale as soon as we can find
a purchaser. The others will be docked and
brought into use when the times are busy;
say along in July. when the sea trade is
brisk. At other times the men will be paid
Off and the ships laid up"
VICE PRESIDENT HUNTINGTON,
of the Central Pacific railroad, when asked as
TO his own alleged prospective election as di-
rector of the Pacific Mail com pany, said his
time was too limited 10 attend TO the inter-
ests of stockholders of that corporation, and
therefore he could not accept.
