THE FRTGID NORTH.
The Franklin Search Among the
ICebergS.

New York, Sept. pa special to
the Herald from New Redford,
Mass, gives a long account OF the
progress of the Franklin search
parfv under command of Lieut..
Frederick Schwitka, United States
army, who were picked up by Capt.
Baker, of the bark George and
Mary, of New Bedford, at Depot
island, on the 1st of August, they
having returned to that point from
King Williams land, on the 4th of
March of the present year.
The sledge journey was the longest
ever made through the unexplored
arctic regions, both as to time and
distance, the party having been v
sent from their base of operation, in
Hudson Bay, eleven months and
four days. During that time they
t eled 2,819 geographical, or 3,251
ste ute miles. It was the only sledge
10 ney ever made that covered the
entire arc5ic winter. The winter was
pronounced by the Esquimary as one
of unusual rigor. This fact was
attested by the freezing of the river
/ Welcome throughout it's entire extent,
from shore to shore, even below the
latitude of Whale point. The natives
at Depot island and Wager river ex :
perienced much suffering in conse--
quence of the severity of the season,
which precluded successful hunting,
and several deaths have occurred at
both places, The mortality was at
tributed to intense cold and famine.
The expedition, however, success
fully withstood the greatest amount
of cold ever encountered by white
men in the field. On January Sd, 1880,
the thermometer sank to II deprees
Fahrenheit, or 103 degrees below the
freezing point, and during the entire
day it did not rise above SO degrees.
During the 16 days the average tenn
perature was 100 degrees below
freezing point, and during the 81
days it was below 40 degrees. All
this time the party travelled on foot
they never halted single day on ac-
count of the cold. During the sum-
mer and fall of 1879 they made a
complete search of King William s
land and the adjacent mainland,
travelling over the rot de pursued by
the crews of the Erchers upon their
retreat towards the Books river, and
while so engaged the party
buried the bones of all these unforGun-
ates remaining above the ground
and ere cted a monument to the
memory of the fallen hseoes. Their
research established the mournful
fact that the records of the Frank
Inns expedition are lost beyond re
covery. The party found many
traces and some remains of the
Franklin expedition, among them
were the bones of third officer OF
the Terror, Lieut.. John Irving,
which were identified by a prize
medal found in his open grave. Rel
les of the Terror and Erebds were
brought back by the party. They
lived a portion of the time on seal
skin diet, and otherwise adapted
themselves to the habits of the ma
tives, suffering many hardships, but
being uniformly well treated by the
Esquimaux. esora

suecial Dispatch to the Chronicle.

JoNEsBoRo, Sept. q.
Hon. A. 81. Pettibone, republican,
and Hon. r. L. Taylor, democrat,
candidates for congress in the first con-
gressional district of Tennessee, spoke
to a very large audience at this place
to-day. Mr. Taylor opened the dis
cussion in a speech of one hour and
fifteen minutes in length, made
up of denuncistions Of the
revenue laws, derision of
carpet baggers aud appeals to the boys
with whom he was raised; interspersA
ed with Iaughabie ~ anecdotes, well told.
He made an ingenious, vote catching
speech, in which political parties were
ignored entirely. and it was apparent
ly without any attempt at a logical
argument of the issues before the
country. His t'ieud appeared we'll
satisfied with MT IF ,rf.
Hon. A. H. P, ;u0One followed in an
able speech, presenting his case in
forcible and eloquent language, which
made fine impression on the masses
assembled. His criticisms o. Mr..
Taylor's record was searching aud
pointed. His denunciatiop of the
mapuer in which the Greeneville
paper was sold was scathing. He read
an affidavit of w. D Culver, OF
GreeneVille, showing how the New
Era was sold out, and spoke of the cor-
rupt transaction boldly and with great
effect.
lie fought the devil with fire by
turning wag, adopting Mr.. Tay lor's
own style of quoting poetry and tell
ing anecdotes, which elieited yelIs and
bosterous roars of laughter. A the
close of his speech he was cheered for
full five minutes, and his iriends went
away filled with enthusiasm, He
certainly made happy effort.
Both speakers were enthusiastic :cally
applauded by their respective friends
Of whom both had many, but it is nay
impression that fair majority of the
audience were Pettibons men. 4
number Of ladies were present anC
good order prevailed.

*New counties formed since 1870, and

tnat of other counties.
This shows an increase Of about 27
per cent. In the last ten years.
The counties of Roane, Blount,

portional increase in population since
1870. es compared with other counties.
For Instance the population of Roane,
in 1870, was Is. 5.622, and in 1880 only
Is, ,413. This is the result of the terri
tory of these counties being cut off to
make new counties. Loudon is form-

Strange Narcotics.

The great narcotic in India is the
betel nut, OF which Anglo -Saxons-per-
haps fortunately-knoW nothing. The
betel nut is the seed Of the sreca palm,
which is extensively cultivated. AS
nearly every native chews betel, the
consumption of areca nuts is incredibly
great. In the Philippines the laborer is
paid in betel rolls as he is with cocoa
leaves in some parts of Peru, and the
betel nut is one of the most valuable
articles of produce in Sufnatra. The
greater part of this islands export goes
to China. The betel nut is about the
size of cherry, slightly pear shaped,
very hard, and externally not unlike q
nutmeg of inferior quality. In India it
is prepared for chewing by being cut
into long, narrow strips, and 5Hrapped
in leaves of the so-called beter pepper,
previously busted on one side with the
quicklime of calcin shells. In the
Philippines, buyo, as the betel roll is
called, is offered to every one who
enters a house, just as 3 pinch of snuff
or a pipe is in Western countries.
Every one who can atfo ID itputs fresh
buyo in his mouth every hour, which
he can chew and suck for half an hour
at least. The visible effects of the
betel are that it promotes the flow of the
saliva and lessons perspiration. 1t
tinges the mouth, the teeth, and lips
with vivid red which is not ornamen-
tai; but as an offset it imparts an agree
able odor to the breath, an is supposed
to fasten the teeth, cleanse the 6 ums
and cool the mouth. The juice is usu
ally, but not always swallowed. o
those who are accustomed to use it, the
betel exerts weak but continuous and
sustained exhilarating influence. All
! through Southern India and the Spice
islands every person who owns little
bit of land usually grows the leaves oi
the pawr, or betel pepper, for his own
consumption. Only tobacco, among the
narcotics in common use, is consumed
in larger quantities than the betel nut.
In India indeed, where, on an average,
| not more than sixpence head is an
nually paid for clothing, indulgence In
betel forms the second great necessary
of common life.

What becomes Of FiiIan widows.

There is no uniformity OF. custom In
FIJI, so that no description of what is
done by any one tribe can be taken as
applicable to all the others. The stvang
ling of widows, however, that they
might be buried with their dead nus
bands seems to have been everywhere
practiccd. The widows brother per
forms the operation, and is thencefor-
ward treated with marked respect by
his brother-in-Iaw's kinsfolk, who pre-
sent him with a piece Of land, over
which the strangling cord is hung up.
Should he, however, fail to strangle his
sister, he is despised. When q woman
is about to be strangled she is made to
kneel down, and the cord Ia. strip of
native cloth) il put around her neck.
She is then told to expel her breath as
long as possible, and when she can en-
dure no longer, to stretch ont her hands
as a signal, whereupon the cord is
tightened. and soon all IS over. tits be-
lfeved that If this direction be followed
insensibility ensues Immediately on the
tightening of the cord, whereas If IN
Ihalation hos taken place there is in in
