The exploring expedition endured
the severest cold ever experienced in
the Arctic regions. Twice during the
winter the mercury was frozen in the
thermometer for fifteen days at a time.
For 142 days they had no sunlight, vet
the health of the party was most excel
lent, only one being ill, and they kept
themselves SO busy with study and
amusement that the time passed with
great rapidity. Though residence in
the Arctic regions may not be in all res
poets desirable,it seems that IL company
of men can spend the winter there with
Il very tolerable degree of comfort, and
that the extreme cold is not necessarily
Injurious to health.

day. 1t Is said that another Senator
and tive or six members of the House
VIII join the OId Fellows Hall Legis-

being made yesterday TO keep the eau
Gus together. They are tar from sue
ees>i!ul, aad it is hardly possible that a
quorum OF the House can be obtained
to-day. Ihere is not the slight test doubt
ttElt II no quorum is secured the Legis-
future VIII detiuitciy break up, and not
continue The absur1iit% of the past week
oE@djourning from day to day. Some
members are in favor of Il regular sine

the Legislature melt away of itself.
When the breaking up of the Bump
takes place, some twenty to thirty Re
personalities will probably Join the
ODD Fellows Hall Legislature, which
they fear 10 do now, as they are liable
to- be expelled for this conduct
This would give this body even Il

A party ofconverts stood at the chan
eel rail in a Sandusky church ready to
be made members. One was girl w no
had been regarded as the belle of the
place. She interrupted the ceremony
by saying that she desired to make Il
confession. She knew that she had
been looked on as good girl, but she
wasn't. She was guilty ofSa dreadful
sin, of which she had not been even
suspected. This little speech excited
the curiosity Of the congregation to a
high degree. She then said that she
had been married IL year +; that the GER
emony had been regularly but private
~ performed and that she had kept
the fact a secret because she was mot
ready to forego the fun Of going into

rohorated his wife's story. They went

THE PACKARD LEGISLATURE,

We find in the Republican the fol-
lowing interesting proceedings in Pack
ards House, in which some prominent
characters figure. 1t appears that the
two houses We're about to assemble to
ballot for U. S. Senator, when the fol-
lowing transpired:
Mr.. Warmoth stated the law required
the ballot to be taken Mt twelve meri-
dian, and it then being four minutes
past one, he made the point oforller that
it was too late to have joint session.
Speaker Hahn ruled the point we'll
taken, anda committee was appointed
Mr.. johnson, of De Soto, declared the
House was in Joint session; that hav-
ing adjourned to twelve O'Clock, and
having a quorum, it could send for the
Senate.
Mr.. Warmoth expressed himself con-
WINGED by this lucid explanation.
Mr.. McMilten gravely stated that it
was possible the Senators OF the United
States might recognize the Legislature
OF Louisiana by making u visit to the
House during the day, and he trusted
the members would conduct the weigh
ty business on hand with that dignity
and decoram which had always charae-
teri1ed the Legislature of Louisiana,

distinguished visitors.

favorable impression be retained, mov-
Ell that that the House adjourn and

also the eyebrows and eyeIashes and
you could see the paint on her lips.
Then upon her head was reddish

In fier hand she carried large yellow

as IA support, for she played and toyed
with it, pointed at the zpictures and
twirled it about in her hand.
