WRECKED Crew.

wrecked Crew.
A letter received from Capt. Kane, o
the schooner F. +. Mcdonald, dated
Goree, west coa,t of Africa, January
oath, says on his outward passage from
Boston he fell in with the wreck of the
British bark Maria, Capt. Grayson, hav-
ing on board two survivors OF the crew
of fourteen men, the Others having per.
ished from exposure and famine. The
wreck was ditcovered in latitude $50 23>,
longitune 32o 30', with the masts gone
and full of water. The two men were
taken on the tchooner but one dird
within four hours. From the sole sur
vivOr it WAS ascertaiDed that the bark
was bound from Doboy, Georgia, to Hell
fast, Ireland; that she sprung leak in a
gale and filed with water 60 that 1t was
impossible to save any provisions or fresh
water. The lumber whith which the
vessel was laden prevented her from
sinking, but the weight of the masts
turned the vessel on her beam ends un, Il
the masts broke away, when she righted
and the men regained the deck. Having
no food or water they soon began to die
of starvation, and soon as one died the
rest subsisted upon the dead body, and
30 on until only two were left. Survi-
vor James Mclaughlin belongs ts Bel
fast, Ireland, and says that only small
portions OF the bodies could be eaten.
No one was killed, but the moment one
died the survivors cut the throat of the
deceased and drank the blood and then
divided the heart and brains. It was
thirty-two days from the time Of the
disaster until the wreck was sighted,
and during all tb It time the crew had
not drop of water or other food than
the bodies Of the shiPmates.

The Russian army south OF the Cau-

A Vienna correspondent reports that
the central society at st. Petersburg for as.
sisting the wounded has been notified Of
branch establishments, and that the czar
permits immediate commencement Of col.
leetions Of .ioney and materials. All Rus.
sian nunneries have received orders to pre-.
pare 70 send delegations Of nurses to the
PYuth.
The czar holds that war is needless,
because the fall Of Midhat Pasha marks the
commencement Of state Of anarchy which
will eventually compel Europe to interfere.
Gen. Tguatief supports this view. The idea
among the peace party is that the powers
answering the Russian circular might enable
Russia to withdraw and await the results Of
Turkish efforts at reform, by publicly recog.
/ nizing the sacrifices which she has made on
: behalf Of eastern christians.

Polar Notions.

This is tfe way to get TO the north
pole. One man has been proposing rail-
way over the ice. No such bad plan
after all; but nothing to the proposal OF
an other enthusiast who would set of in
a balloon from the ships qusrters, and,
with a favorable wind, try to cross the
pole. They might be carried right over
TO inhabited regions on the other side:
the distance, not over one thousand
miles, seems quite within the compass Of
balloon undertakings. Or, again set of
in balloon from the ship with favora-
BILE wind, and without rise far above the
ice, establish series Of small provision
depots, say at twenty miles intervals,
marking the spots carefully by means of
astronomical observations and flags, or
lights. The balloon would be furnisbed
with apparatus for laying hold Of the ice
where Il might be desired to disembark
for this purpose. Supposing, after the
pole was reached, that the balloon was
incapacitated for return 10 the chip, the
party, lightly eqn pped, without sledges,
might mako their way hack on foot By
the help Of these dspots. Walking twen-
ty miles day, they could thus accom-
plish the journey back In say twenty
days" fbis sounds absurd At the first
blush; but It really IL not &C impossible
after all, especially It some simple effect
i've means could be found Of generating
lighter gas, and these means carried IN
the balloon, which would never rise
above twenty feet above the ice, being
kept down by drag roSts trailing 0vel
