1t appears by supplement of the
London Gazette that in February, 1888,
the amount of unclaimed legacies in
England was seventy seven million, six
hundred and ninety three thousand,
seven hundred and sixty-nine pounds,
an increase of more than twelve million
pounds-some three hundred and eigh-
ty million dollars of our money. The
increase in ten years, much more than
twelve million pounds, is particularly
observable. The list of legatees en-
braces more than six thousand names,
those of all ranks in public and private
life, of all social conditions, and has
been constantly increasing in volume.
At length, after much persuasion,
the Chancery Court of England has
turned over a new leaf in it's long
book of dilatoriness. It has ap-
pointed an experienced gentleman,
Sir George Kellner, a man of financial
ability, to prepare the list for 1887. He
is to give the exact amounts to which
the several legatees are entitled; efforts
are - made to find those who are
enti The locked-up treasure; pub
icity 40 be given where heretofore
there has been what may be called cul-
pable concealment; and the vaults of
of the Chancery Court are to be
unlocked to legatees or their heirs
wherever on the face of the globe they
may be found. It is said that there
are many of such heirs in the United
States, but not 80 many as might be
supposed, from the efforts made in this
country to unlock the secrets Of the
sChaneery Court-but all will keep their
eyes open for the development Of Mr..
Kellners work, il the hope Of Learning
something to their pecuniary advan-
tage.

The horrors of the Greedy expedi-
tion in search of the north pole have
taken deep hold on the public mind,
and yet there would be no lack of vol
mteers for similar purp ose- Even a
faint hope of reaching the north pole,
and the great fame that would attend
such an achievement, is sufficient in
spiration to such extremely hazard GUS
enterprises. But this is not all. Fame
follows failures almost innumerable,
especially when, ,fraught with almost in
describable sufferings that are borne
with self-sacrifcing heroism. An Eng
lish poet characterizes fame as ''the
next grandest word to Cod it is, to
a great majority of those who volunta-
rily risk their lives where fame is sure
to follow.

The 11ut11atod Arctic Dead,

New York Special: The secretary of the
navy and the secretary Of war have been in
consultation at the navy yard, Brooklyn, with
Commander Schley, concerning the Greely re-
lief expedition. From them the following
statement relative TO the recent reports of the
treatment of bodies of the dead Of the Greedy
polar expedition is derived: From revelations
made by exposing some of the bodies, infer
ences have been drawn that incisions have
been made in all bodies, and that portions of
the flesh have been used either for food or for
bait for catching shrimps The following au-
port, now being prepared for the secretary Of
the navy, shows a portion Of the remains to
have been so treated; but that of those of Lieut.
Lockwood, Sergeant Israel, Sergeant Linn,
Private Schneider, Sergeant Cross and the
Eskimo Christianson, were absolutely whole
and untouched Extract: ''In preparing the
bodies Of the dead for transportation at St.
Johns, it was found that the bodies of six of
them uieut Kislingbury, Sergeant Jewell,
Private Whistler, Private Henry, Private Ellis
and Sergeant Ralston) had been cut and the
feshy parts removed to a greater or less extent.
All the other bodies were intactn

Though wewere parted, as though he had dice
She said, I could bear the worst,
Il he had only loved me at the last,
As he loved me ct the first
But woe is me! said the bapless maiden,
That ever lover came,
Since he who lit In my heart the fire
Has failed to tend the fame
All! why did he pour in my life's poor cup
A nectar so divine,
II he had no heart to fill it up
With draught 10 pure and fine?
Oh! if he were either true or false,
My torment might have end;
He has, been for . lover, too unkind-
Too loving for q friend
And there is not q soul in all the world
So wretched as mine must be;
For cannot live on his love, she said,
Nor die Of his cruelty.
