of the late Arctic expedition terml-
mated this evening with the departure
Of Mr.. Raymond L. Newcomb to
PHILADELPHIA and New York, thence
TO his home in Salem, Mass where
his mother resides, he being an only
son. He has enjoyed the hospitality
of Lieutenant Danenhower for nearly
a week, and the intercourse has been
very pleasant.
TONG SING, THE CHINAMAN.
The steward, Tong Sing, has been
cared tor by the Lieutenant since their
arrival in New York, aud will remain
with him for some time, or while he
continues to enjoy himself, as he is
now doing hugely. He is a shrewd
and intelligent fellow, and finds his
way through the city most admirably
when be becomes tired of the Lieu
tenants carriage. Yesterday he was
seen purchasing a gold watch and
chain, a diamond ring and 0thor prti-
cles of personal adornment, and those
who know him best say that his native
shrewdness stands him In good stead
against sharpers. He has very Sensi
bly, abjured the queue, and the ton
serial attention to his crown
that marks the proverbial John
Chinaman. Exposed in the Arctic
cold it is no wonder he concluded, as
expressed in his jockey dialect, much
cold want muehie hair, shoot en- belr
want muchee MORE" He had been at
the Sandwich Islands for some years
when b. shipped on the Jeanette.
His views as to rstgrning 10 the Arc
tic are condensed With mere bFeVity
than oloarness in the reply, "a, oes.
No muchee, mebbe." He admires the
national capital, and says; HWashee
belize nice place, much widee; plenty
big room to Co." In fact, no conf
depee is violated in stating his pro-
nounoed iatention of making this his
future home and opening a corner
store well stocked with tess, solIees,
china ware and cheap ohromos, Alice

POOR JACK COLES.
Jack Coles, the boatsYain, has been
transferred from the hospital at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard to st Elizabeth's
the Government asylum for the insane
and intended specially though not ex-
clusively, for sailors and solaics in the
United States service. SO that for the
past few days the entire number Of
returned survivors have been together
all within the district, and the three
who have preserved their reason under
one roof. The Lieutenant drove over
to the Asylum yesterday to see his
former charge and found him we'll
cared for, and not violent. The doc
tor says it is yet too soon to venture
an opinion on the chances for his res
%torAtion. He has three sons and as
many daughters in New York.
A photographer came with his car
rage and prevailed on Lieutenant
DanenhOwer, accompanied by Mr..
NewcombI and the steward, to visit his
gallery, where groups were taken, and
the Lieutenant, arrayed in the identi-
cal suit of furs he wore on the retreat
and his goggles removed for the uonce,
sat for his picture for the first time
since leaving lrkutsk.
The Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals have placed a pri
vate box at the disposal of the Lieu
tenant and bis party at a musical per
formance to be given tomorrow night
at the operahouse for their benefit
As other engagements prevented his
acceptance be consented to prepare
f r them, at his leisure, a paper on the
treatment ofanimals in Siberia. This
will doubtless prove an interesting
subject as the Lieutenant was strongly
impressed with the remarkably hu
name conduct of his drivers in thai
stretch of 5000 miles through the 81.
berisn wastes, and the determined
effort to do their utmost with which
those hardy animals seemed to recip.
rocate the iorbearing confidence of the
rdde Cossack Jehus.
VISIT TO ANNAPOLIS.
Lieutenant Danenhower left here al
noon for Annapolis, having accepted
one Of the several invitations from ole
comrades at the academy to attend the
graduation ball to morrow night. He
does not propose to expose himself t.
the glare Of the gas lights in the
ball room beyond the necessities
Of the occasion. His party viii
consist Of his two sisters, hil
younger brother and a charming Alex
andria belle known to her friends al
Miss Fannie. Tong Sing will accom-
pany them, prepared to drop modestl]
into the shade or if addressed to conn
smilingly forward and extend his pain
with the Inevitable "0b, how do?'
The Lieutenant anticipates a gooC
time in chatting with his friends O
the navy, for whom he entertains al
exceedingly high regard. The part,
will return on Saturday.
