Lieutenant Schwatka Ill the Arctic Re
giOnS

Our readers will doubtless remember
our illustration of the EOthen at the
time of her departure for the Arctic re-
gions with the Franklin Search party,
commanded by Lieutenant Schwatka,
United States navy, in July 1878. Early
in August the party landed near Ches-
terrified Bay, with their provisions,
stores, etc, and established camp at
point named Cape Dolly. The winter
was passed with the natives, and in the
spring lieutenant Schwatka, who found
that the reports as to traces of the
Franklin Expedition having been dis
covered east of Boothia had no founda-
ton in fact, determined to start for
King Williams land. This resolution
involved the transit of a tract of totally
unknown country for distance of
about $50 miles as the crow flies, and
then a minute search of its coasts,
which could not fall under less than 600
miles of travel. On April 1st, 1879,
they began their journey, accompanied
by thirteen Esquimaux, and with three
sledges and forty-two dogs to drag
them. The days journey of April
18th lay over the elevated ground
forming the waters bed between Hud-
sons Bay shore and Wager River to
the northward. The descent Of the hill
on the further side was tolerably steep,
so that the dogs had to run fast in order
not to let the sledges run over them.
The halt at noon that day was under
what is called Divide Hill, and as soon
as the sledges were stopped all these
animals lay down and remained quite
still to the moment they were forced to
rise and continue their toll. During
the summer and autumn the party
made a complete seach of King Will
liam's land and mainland adjacent,
travelling over the route pursued by the
crews of the Erebus and Terror upon
their retreat towards Backs Bay. They
buried the bones of all those unfortu-
mater remaining above ground and
erected monuments to their memory.
Their research has established the fact
that the records of Franklin's Expedi-
ton are lost beyond recovery. A large
number of relics We're gathered by the
party They also brought away with
them the remains of Lieutenant II
wing, Royal Navy, which were identified
by a prize medal found in his grave,
and which were forwarded from New
York to Glasgow for interment by the
family-Er.

The Cars New Wife and Her Eldest

The eldest child of the princess is
" sick nigh unto death" With natural
boyish spirit, the youngPrince Boris, de-
string to have game of snOw-balls, his
mother was too anxious about him to
give the permission asked His father,
recalling his own boyish days, favored
the desire OF the lad, and he was taken
in carriage to the school of the pages,
where he amused himself to his hearts
content. Thence ne was taken to the
palace in the kaimeninoshof; and
here he appears to have got his feet
wet. 4 chill thus taken was followed
bv fever, which still continues.
1t is said that the princess Is begin
ming to assume a role in the game of
politics, instigated thereto by the in
sidious counsel of a certain count, who
is her mortal enemy, and thinks thus
to assure her fall But some who know
the count doubt his capacity to origin
ate such an artful plan.
The princess Is innocent of court
etiquette, probably from having been
always secluded from general society;
and it is narrated that when the en-
peror's faithful henchman, Count Milu-

1t is du nigueur for every one in the
presence of the emperor to wear the
insignia of the "orders of which he
is the possessor. The medical atten-
dant on the young Prince Boris has
accordingly always worn his orders"
when he came to the palace to see his
patients. STOPPING down close to the
lad to hear his breathing, one or these
insignia must have become cntangled
in the princes hair, for as the doctor
raised himselfa cry of pain was heard.
The emperor agitated, exclaimed
against the folly of wearing such things.

A Senator's Hair.

Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, says
that, while in Italy three years ago, he
went into BARRIERS shop at Pisa to
have his hair dressed. :" You know"
say 5 Mr.. Bruce, in describing the in
cident, /" that the hair of my peculiar
race, color and previous condition of

it gets, the shorter it grows, and really
outkinks every curiosity. There was

such a specimen of wool as he had
never seen before. He tolled with it
and was puzzled. After running the
comb through it he would press it
down with his hand, hut it wonldn'
stay down; it persisted in jumping up
like a lack in box. He went out and
called another barber who stood over
nv wool, wondering. Finally he got
his scissors, clipped it of to suit him
self. and carefully wrapped up the
fleece TOR preservation as the greatest
curiosity he had ever seen. | could

close of his last term in congress,
General Van Wyck removed to Ne
braska, erected house on the spot
selected sixteen wears before, and en-
larged a farm which he had commenced
so long ago to develop with an old-fash-
Toned breaking pillow, propelled by six
yoke of oxen. This farm, of over 500
acres, is now one of the most beautiful
in the state. General Van Wyck was
a member of the constitutional conven-
ton of 1875, and has since been three
times elected to the state senate, and
has there earned the distinction of in
augurating numerous and the most val
liable reforms in the public service of
the state

Catching a Tarter.

1t was necessary on a certain occa-
sion in court to compel a witness to
testify as to the way in which a Mr..
Smith treated his horse. ''Well, sir"
said the lawyer with a sweet and will
ing smile-a smile intended to drown
all suspicion as to Interior purposes
chow does Mr.. Smith generally ride a
horse?" Tue witness looked up limo
Gently and replied: Generally
astraddle sir, l believe. The lawyer
again asked: "But sir, what gait does
he rider The impeturbable witness
answered: "He never rides any gate at
all, sir, but I've seen his boys ride every
gate on the farm" The lawyer saw he
was on the track of tartar, and his
next question was very insinuating
How does Mr.. Smith ride when in
company with others? demand clear
answer. "Well, sir," said the witness,
che keeps up with the rest if his horse
is able, or if not he falls behind" the
lawyer was now almost beside himself,
asked How does he ride when he Is
alone?" II don't know" was the reply;
Il never was with him when he was
alone" and there the case dropped.

WHAT WILL THE NEW YEAR
BRHNGs

'Oh. what will the New Year brinl, me lr
Sang bFight-eyed little boy,
As he paused mid his childish playthings
The source of many joy.
Say quickly, mamma dear:
Will it bring me toys and candies.
As It brings me every year,"
The mother glanced at her darling,
And breathed a silent PRAYER
That the New Years gift for her darling
Might be unmixed with care.
Oh, what will the New Year bring Inc ;!
Said a timid, happy bride
And she glanced with q look Of pleasure
At the husband by her side.
s Oh, what will the New Year bring me,
As il specdeth on its way
viii it bring fresh joys and roses
For each succeeding day %
But the mothers look was fearful,
As she glanced at her daughter fair
For she knew in the outward pathway
Was hidden many a snare.
Oh, what will the New Year bring me r
Said 4 feeble, weak Old man.
e. I've tasted all earth's pleasures,
And life is but a span.
Oh, what Will the New y ear bring me,
Now | am growing old,
And few are the charms that bind me
For my days are almost ted r.
All! what the New \ ear bringeth.
Thy eyes may never seei
For a narrow mound on the hillside
Is the only gift to thee.

THE LITTLE SHOE.

Laughing and humming an idle air,
/ threw the drawers contents aside:
Trifes Of old days / scattered there;
And papers in haste united.
Struck as il were by random shot,
/ felt an old wound bleed anew;
Carelessly seeking know not what,
/ came on little shoe.
Memory flashed on me; sadly sweet
Rang out the merry laugh of yore;
Echoed the beat of those tiny feet
That battered along the floor.
Chubby round face, so demure and wise,
ShOne out with brow so angel fair
Dreamy reflection of hare bell eyes,
And halo of golden hair.
Pet names, and jokes of her infant play,
Struck on the heart with sudden blow
Life in the morn of one dreadful day,
And death ere the sun was low
Poor little relici brief hour of SPORT
What shame to me if tears will falll
Springtime of babyhood, oh, how short
This poor little shoe-how small.

Ircland's Great Land Owners.
London Truth.

The following figures in regard to the
ownership of Irish land are interesting:
One man owns 40, 900 acres; three men
own 100000 acres each; ninety men,
10000 acres each; 1875 men, 10000
acses each; and 452 men 5000 acres
each. The Association of Salters own
10000 acres; he Diapers q 900 acres;
the Merchants q, 600 acres; the Skin
ners 24,0O0 acres; the Fishmongers,
10000 acres; the Ironmongers, 10000
acres, and the Grocers 10000 acres. 1t
is not therefore any exaggeration to
say that of the Ell 100000 which is am
nual Irish rental, at least e12, 100000 is
spent out of the country; and where, as
in the case Of Ireland, the country is
not wealthy, and has no other industry
except agriculture, this state of things,
until remedied, viii be productive Of
want and misery.
