"Tell it not in Gath; whisper it not
in the streets of Askelon." Yes, it's
true. The highest court in this free
government of the United States has
decided that ships crew may, for
striking work on shore, be arrested,
put in irons and carried back to the
ship, and be placed under the tender
mercies of the officers. If left to the
courts when would human slavery
have ceased? Is it not time for con-
gress to overhaul its laws or the
laws made by its judges? What
does the " brainiest man in Florida, !"
now in the United States senate, say
about it? Or what has he said about
anything along these lines? The fact
that good old Judge Harlan dissents
from this decision of the court indi-
Gates that once more that criminally
eifete body of men have attempted to
drive nail in the coffin of individual
liberty?

The Hammock voyage.

Two little playmates-one in kills and one in
gown
And a wonderful ship Of state;
One is the captain of great renown
And the other his jolly good mate.
And they sail on the when the waves beat
high,
And they sail when the winds are low,
But you cannot tell how the sea, how the sky,
Except as they rocl-fast or slow.
Now the captain cries. ship ahoy! Ship ahoy?'
And such bufreting winds never blew;
But the mate grasps the ropes like a good sailor
boy,
And the staunch vessel rides bravely through.
SO they sail on the sea all the day, all the day,
And jolly brown tars that they are;
Itey laugh at the night. honest men may,
And carelessly drift out afar.
All, but list! IT'S the Siren, SO near and so
clear;
And the spell-it has seized the crew!

The Ross party first sighted large, COM
pact fcebergs in latitude 69 degrees south
and degrees or 240 miles, south of that

vast field of hummock ice extending over
an unknown number of miles. This was in
the midsummer of the southern hemisphere
and vet the members of the expedition We're
supplied with extra heavy clothing 20 keep
their bodies warm. Preparations were
made for dashing through the foe ice and
hummocks at points where the more solid
pack could be avoided, and the following
is an extract from the log made by Ross
himself of his observations at that time:
I'm the evening remarkable appearance
OF land was reported. During several hours
a number of pointed hills. apparently COW
cred with snow, were seen. assuming an
appearance Sc calculated to deceive the ex-
rerienced eye that had we been prevented
from proceeding further, ii would doubtless
have been asserted on our return to Eng
land that we had discovered land at this
point The appearance, of land was, how
ever nothing more than the upper part of
a cloud, marking by a wel-dedned, but
irregular line the limit to which vapor can
ascend in these ATTITUDES. Below is vapor
I'm every degree of condensation. above the
clear cold space which vapor can never
attain. 1t is always near the margin of the
ice that these appearances of land are most
remarkable and most deceptive. 1t proved
a useful lesson to some of our new hands
who would not be persuaded IL was not
land until we had actually passed over the
place OF their baseless mountains"
This entry quoted will recall wildly to
the mind OF every polar traveller how often
he W2s deceived in his earlier exploring
days by these remarkable appearances of
Clouds, as Well as the peculiar haze around
iceifergs and the mirage. But Ross's ex-
pee4tton steered boldly and yet cautiously

side OF the canyon, shouted some one, and
l hastily started for the shade"
I'VE had been walking in the sun because
it was possibly warmer | made haste to
get over to the edge of the canyon too en-
ergetically and sank to my armpits in the
snow and barely able TO bear up my
weight by extending my arms out over the
crust about me. The snow was not as deep
as the length of my body, and my feet
dangled without any support Gradually the
opening made by my body enlarged. and
could see the water rushing in mad rage
three or four feet beneath my boot SoleS,
carrying with it powders as large as a bar
rel. 1t was an appalling moment. The men
threw me rope which carefully fastened
under my arms, and cautiously lifted up
my weight with my hands on the crust OF
the snow. and after a few minutes, which
seemed 70 me 10 De hours, succeeded IN
getting out crept on my hands and knees

meantime the man who had fallen through
the snow Just before me had also gotten
out and we proceeded without further in
cident through the canyon, which gradu-
ally widened as we proceeded and finally
disappeared in plain,
From here we could see a large lake in
the distance, which We were told was the
headwaters of the Yukon. When we
reached it the Indians left us. We thought
we were about to have trouble with them.
They were worn out by the hard trip and in
an ugly mood. One Indian had contracted
to carry a sled over the divide for $3.50, but
refused to turn it over unless paid SIS. We
would not pay it and the Indians took hold
of the sled and threatened TO make trouble.
Our party lined up, each man with his gun
ready and his cartridges at hand. Then our
leader stepped to one side and told the In
