The Mut1lated 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 schloy, concerning the Greedy re-
lief expedition. From them the following
statement relative to the recent reports of the
treatment of bodies Of the dead of the Greely
polar expedition is derived: From revelations
made by exposing some of the bodies, infer
ences have been drawn that missions nave
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-
thentic extract from Commander Schley's re-
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

point known in the United States for
years, 10 cents per bushel. It was

states that the Russian government
has issued a circular to the principals
of the schools in Russia, holding them
responsible for any revolutionary tend
encies their scholars may have. and en-
joining them to maintain strict super
vision over their pupils in order to dis
sipate the slightest flavor of nihilistic
sentiments" "By nihilistic sentiments"
is meant anything that impairs public
acquiescence in the present form of des-
potic government that prevails in
Russia, OF anything that favors a gov
eminent "of the people, by the people
and for the people," such as we have
in the United States, or even o consti-

snobbish aristocrats in the United
States who never tire of extolling "the
mild and benefcsnt reign of the "czar

Voice and Dress.
Robert Laird Collier in the Boston
Herald thus describes the peculiarities
of Americans when met abroad:
If Americans could make London
gay, London would be gay. The Yam
KEGS are everywhere an evidence.
There is no installing the American
anywhere. On the streets, in the gal
%lieries, at the theatres, he is to be met.
For one I am always glad to meet him,
He is the heartiest, frankiest, all in all,
the truest man to be found walking In
s~hoe-leather. He is different from all
foreigners in London. He speaks tho
same language as the Englishman. I
can instantly understand all he is say
ing, and so it is that his voice and in
donation and accent seem somewhat
unframed, and, perhaps, just the least
bit underlined. OF course, I mean the
voice, information and accent of some
Americans.
Ten years ago I did not know what
English people meant who told me that
all Yankees speak with a nasal twang,
and hat American ladies pitched their
voices on a high, shrill key. Ibid not
then believe it. But it is true. What
of it? Whose business i sit? Yet, all
the same, it is true. I am constantly
turning around on the street to look af-
ter an American voice. It is a national
characteristic that Americans talk in o
loud, unmodulated voice. No doubt it
is a a matter Of climate. In pnblio
places Americans talk in loud voices. If
L now remember, little notice of this is
taken in America, where most people
seem accustomed to it, but in England
it seems rude and ill-bread to talk
socially in o loud voice. In omnibuses,
at dinner tables, at the theatres, on the
streets, one is constantly attracted by
the loudness, and sometimes the shrill-
ness, of the American voice. The soft
ness and delicacy Of the English lady's
voice makes the American lady's voice,
in comparison, all the more %conspicu-
GUS. +
But did they not speak at all there
would be no installing my fellow-coun-
try people in London. 10 begin with,
the dress would tell the story. All
English gentlemen wear tall hats. IF
the man is respectfully disposed he will
be sure to have a silk hat. The same
may be said of all Continental gentle
men. Therefore, the slouch hat, the
soft felt hat, or the billy-cock hat upon
an otherwise acknowledgement man
suggests to you that he is an American.
Clothes are rather cheap in England,
and no English gentlemen will wear
kneed-out trousers; but American gen.
tlemen not uncommonly do. I often
thing the American ladies spend SO much
on dress that they have nothing left to
spend on their husbands, for, while the
men are addressed, or shabbily dressed,
the ladies are sometimes overdressed,
and commonly very extensively dressed.
Then, there is this to be said: English
people are seldom oddly or peculiarly
dressed. But you cannot truthfully say
this of the Americans.

1t appears by a supplement of the
London Gazette that in February, 1883,
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
lite, 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 its long
book of dilatoriness. 1t has ap-
pointed an experienced gentleman,
Sir George Kellner, q nan 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 to be made to find those who are
entitled to the locked-up treasure; pub
licity is to 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 so many as might be
supposed, from the efforts made in this
country to unlock the secrets of the
Chancery Court-but all will keep thei1
eyes open for the development of Mr..
Kellner's work, in the hope of learning
something to their pecuniary advan.
tage.
