Spcclul correspondence ~
DULUTH, Feb. 17.-Among Duluth,s
prominent people, though a compara-
lively recent arrival here, may safely be.
enumerated Observer j. w. Johnson,
the gentleman in charge of the United
States signal Office at this place. Two
principal causes have led to his prom-,
inence in business and social life; the
first being that considerable reliance is
placed npOn the weather prognostica-
tions, and the latter that the present
officer is sterling good fellow, has a
fine bass voice we'll trained, good,
though unassuming story-teller, and is
in great demand between his hours of
duty at many freside socialS.
Mr.. Johnson has been in the employ
of the Smithsonian institute for several
years, and early in 1884 was appointed
signal officer at Fort Alexander, other
wise known as Nushagac, Alaska. Fort
of Nushagac river, which enters into
Bristol bay, an inlet of the southeast
corner of Behring's sea. The popula-
tiOn of the place is less than 100,
and composed principally of native
Indians with few Esquimaux
who find temporary living in the pur-
lieus of this partially civilized remote
ness. During his residence in Alaska
Mr.. johnson made two extensive col
lectiOns of Alaskan curiositieS-one for
the Smithsonian institute and the other
for himself. The accompanying picture
of Observer johnson was taken in
Cleveland, and represents him in full
ESquimauX costume. The coat worn is

PRAIRIE GRAVE OF EsQUIMAux

fhAlhIE GhANE OF ESQUIMACN.
animals, all of the finest quality
but of EsquimauX make, are to
be seen in the collection, also
a strange kind of towel made of native
grasses, about eighteen inches long and
knOtted in bunch at one end. The
grass is soft and silky and stands verv
tough usage, its edge being very well
adapted to the removal (by hard rub
blng) OF the greasy accumulatiOnS which
adhere to the skin of the natives. Mr..
johnson has number of irregularly
shaped grass vessels, woven so finely
that meats can be boiled in them or
water carried in them without burning
or leaking. To those who love hunting
or fishing, the collection embraces a
large number of spearS-SOme four feet
long and very light, for killing seals,
and others seven feet long and very
heavy for killing walrus. The former
weapon has a small ivory barb point
four inches long, and the latter have
iron or stone points fifteen inches long.
10 each of these points is attached a
long cord, woven from reindeer or polar
bear lnteStineS, sometimes 100 feet long.
When the animal is struck the weapon
detatcheS from the shaft and unwinds
itself, leaving the shaft float
ing upon the surface as a
mark where the animals body
can be found. There are number of
bows, very strong and stiff, four and a
half feet long and inlaid with numerous
sinews running lengthwise of the
weapon. The arrows are wicked look
ing affairs, thirty inches long, with
sharp barbed points of iron and the
shafts are reeds, generally tnfted with
hawks feathers. There are curious
vessels for culinary purposes made of
dark polished wood, wonderful carvings
in whale and walrus ivory, and one or
two large carvings wrought from tusks
of long extinct mammOthS. There are
ivory dolls quantity carved and curiously
clothed for the little ones, and tobacco
boxes, paper knives and watch chains
for the older people. There is curious
inches long and three inches across the
grinding surface and of dark brown
color. There are also a number of
pieces of foot wear woven from grass,
as soft as any wOOlen fabric
known to us. There is valuable belt,
orDamented with reindeer teeth, which
contains the upper sets (cOmplete) of
1,400 reindeer. The inrOads of civiIiza-
ton are shown in belts Ornamented
with cartridge shells, brass buttons,
glass beads, etc. In the short summer
season many OF tne natlVeS go barefoot,
but in the long winter seasons heavy
fur coverings are necessary, which are
shown in the collection. Mr.. johnson
has been Deset by offers from museum
managers all over the world for the
purchase or rental of his collection, but
to all applicants his invariable answer
is, ''They are not for saIe." He treas
ures them highly as valuable mementoes
of a four years. Sojourn in land where
the thermometer plays hide and seek
at 70 deg. below zero, and where the
face of only one white woman was seen
during his enforced residence.

of the skin of the Arctic wolf, trimmed
with variety of furs, such as ground
squirrel, reindeer tufts, Arctic fox, land
otter, sea otter, polar bear, etc. The
pants or trousers are of the mottled
Arctic fur seal, rare species of the
seal family. The cap is of sea otter fur,
the leggings of reindeer skin ands the
boots OF dressed polar bear skin. srhe
snOwshOes are trifie over three feet
long, the curved-up front ends being
especially adapted to climbing noun
irregular tracts of country. The whole
outfit is the work of Esquimau
Alaskans. In this connection it may
be of interest to mention that
the sea otter cap has since been
''civiilZed," and has been in active Serv-
ice for MIR. johnson during the present
winter. The time taken for the ttipito
Nushagac from San Francisco by: the
steamers of the, Alaska 8 @Commercial
company fthe distance travelled being
nearly 5000 niles is about fifteen days,
and the voyage is one of ever-changing,
rugged and awe-inspiring scenic
grandeur.
The signal station at Fort Alexander
is not very desirable home, the first
observer there having been murdered
by the natives. The station is built of
hewn logs, dovetailed at the corners
and ''chinked" and plastered in the
cracks. In winter time it is heavily
banked up to the line of the window
sills, the earth being held in position by
a tight lacing of logs. This precaution
is made necessary by the prevalence of
winds. which cut and wear away any
artificial embankment unless so pro-
tected. The building was 1Sx24 feet
and story and half high.
Among the itinerant people who fire.
quent the vicinity OF Nushagac may
be reconed the priests of the
Greek church. These men are
hard workers, untiring travellers, thor
oughly acclimated, and have great in
fiuence with both the Indians and Es-
quimauX inhabitants. The Greek church
at Nushagac is rather tough looking
structure from without, is built of hewn
logs, is about fifty feet long and twenty
four feet wide. At the rear of the
building is small addition which con-
tains chime of three small bells hung

O, SPEAK TO ME-!

When sunshine falls athwart the cottage
door,
Sweetheart, o, speak to me!
For l will answer from my heart of hearts
Wherever may be.
When just rim Of silver in the sky
Tells that day is dead,
And all the ARMED hosts Of gold on high
Are hung above thy head,
Then know that am waiting for thy call,
Just here beside the sea,
Where murmur of the bright waves rise and
fall.
Sweetheart, o, speak to me!
My soul holds thine with power that none
can move
Wherever may be;
For thee alone is ecstacy of love
Sweetheart, o, speak to me!
