THE discussion in Tennessee over the
ACCESSIBILITY of selling the Hermitage to
the government for soldiers home calls
forth "reminiscences from Gen. Brinkeroff
of Ohio, who was tutor there immediate>
ly after the death of jackson. "The
Hermitage" said he, was a much differ
ent place at the time Jackson died than it
Is now. 1t lies twelve miles from Nash
vile. 1t was magnificent estate, COM
prising 1000 acres of rich land, the most
of which was under the highest cultiva>
ton. 1t resembled one of the fine Eng
lish hometseads of the present day. 1t
was finely laid out, and the mansion had
in front of it park of several acres SO
arranged in drives and foot paths that
the visitors entering it came to the house
through avenues of cedar. Andrew jack
sons home was large brick building,
with a number Of pillars at each end of
it. 1t had long verandas, and hall ran
through the centre. As you entered this
hall at the left were the parlors, and back
of them In a one story wing was the din
ing room. On the right were two rooms,
the first of which had been the especial
property of the general, and the other,

HALIFAX, n. s, May 2l-Capt William
Adams, a famous Dundee whaler and
Arctic navigator, is in the city. The Arctic
ship Alert will start for Hudson's bay next
week to bring home the men who spent last
year at the stations along the
shores OF Hudson's strait established
by the Dominion government for
the purpose of taking meteorological
and other scientific observations, and re-
place them with men who will remain there
another year. The whole American and
Canadian northwest is vitality interested in
the opening up of the long talked of route to
Europe by way of Hudsons bay. Capt
Adams has had third of century's expert
ence in Arctic waters. He will 60 out on the
Alert as the representative of the Winnipeg
& Hudson Bay Railroad and Nav igation
company, to report upon the feasibility and
praeticability of the route.
In an interview Capt Adams expressed
the opinion that Hudson's bay and strait.
are feasible and practicable for navigation
from the middle of June to the end Of Octo
Der to ships properly equipped with two and
one-half inch iron plates for outside shell
with suitable ice-stem, inside fortified
tions, and with extra beam. The
ships should be limited to 2,501 ton.
in sise. They neel not be wooden
ships, as after making two trip
to Hudson's bay in the season they should b.
employed in the Atlantic or any othel
trade. He thinks that there is much danger
in navigation on the coasts of Newfound-
land and Nova Scotia when the ice is break
ing up in the spring as in navigation in Hud
sons bay in the four months indicated. This
opening up Of this route would bring tn,
heart Of the great northwest as near t.
Liverpool as New York is to-day.
