AMONGST THE ICEBERGS.
Commander Schley's Vessel
Runs Plump Into One.
Arotio Region Fascination Describ
ed by Lieutenant Greely's Finder.
The following is from an interview
with Commander Schley, who rescued
the remnants of Lieutenant Greely's
party : "Had you any unexpected ex
periences when you got in the higher
latitude aside from the general one
pertaining to the expedition ?"
i4 Oh, yes. One morning, for in
stance, when the atmosphere was hazy
from a light fall of snow, in going a
stiff nine-knot gait, we ran plump into
an iceberg that was in our way, and
whicn no one could see. For a mo
ment 1 thought eyery mast would go
by the board, and that my hair and
teeth had proceeded them. . I never got
quite such a shock. I was nearly
thrown out of the crow's nest. 1 ex
pected soon to hear the Alert was
leaking. But, strange as it may seem,
with a rebound of at least thirty feet,
there was not a seam started. It was
almost miraculous that we had no cat
astrophe, and shows how thoughtfully
that ship was built for just such en
counters in those seas. On another oc
casion, when over against the Green
land coast, I counted not Dss than 1,-
500 icebergs that had been pushed from
the glacial formation on the sloping
headlands of the coast into the sea. We
could occasionally hear the cracking
that indicated the fissure; but the sight
of these majestic monarchs of the sea
sailiug off in the morning sunlight,
with all the colors of the prism, was
something that cannot be/described.
Fascinating region ! do you ask ? Nev
er a one more so. I wanted to stay
there awhile. Eyen the men I took at
New Bedford and New London jumped
at the chance to go, though some of
them said they did not expect to come
back again. Why, after we got Greely
and our mission was accomplished. I
never felt such a pang of disappoint
ment that, with seventy-two days of
summer weather before me, and an o
pen sea, 1 was obliged to turn my prow
homeward and abandon the chance to
get a higher Jatitude/than any other
explorer."
"Do you think you' would have had
success had you been at liberty to
have entered on'such a trip ?"
"It seemed so; at least, just then.
And this leads me to say that the re
mark I haye quoted from Weyprecbt
was vindicated in my experience. The
theory of winter sojourneying in the
high latitudes, in order to be on the
ground for another season's continu
ance, is, in my judgement, all a mis
take. The men might as well come
home and have the advantages of civili
zation. Nothing is gained by remain
ing within the arctic circle that cannot
be realized the next season by starting
early if the conditions are fayorable.
And these conditions rest upon an open
sea. Now, some seasons all the waters
are filled with ice that it; is impossible
to penetrate. The yery next season ev
ery strait, bay and channel is likely to
bejfopen water. The winds, currents
and many unknown or undemonstrated
influences affect the ice. What should
be done is to get everything in readi
ness early in the 3 ear, and by May or
early June be at the upper settlements.
Then follow promptly the open water,
and the occasion will come, sooner or
later, when the pole will be reached. In
my case I could have got far to the
northward, and. if caught in the upper
seas, I had proyisions that would have
lasted possibly two years, before which
time I should have worked out of the
trap. ID this connection, let me tell
an anecdote. We were buttirg pretty
effectually one day some ice that imped
ed our progress, when one of the Dun
dee whaling captains said, in admira
tion of our powers : *Ye did that but
ting in foine style, and it is a tough
ship that you have ; but if you keep it
up, you will ruin your ship for a sec
ond season.' 4 Second season,' exclaim
ed I—'none for us, if yuu please ! We
shall find Greely and be back again
long before we begin to divide the sea
sous I" And so it turned."

The Carman's Smart Horse.
A gentleman travelling through
Ireland with a .very stout companion
had occasion to hire a jaunting-car,
and, having agreed with the driver
for half a crown, stepped back to the
inn wfcere he was staying and called
his fat friend. The driver, as soon as
he caught a glimpse of the enormous
dimensions of his 'fare,' walked up to
the head of his horse, and holding up
the tatteied lappets of a worn-out
jacket, said : 'Whist, sir, get up as
lightly as ye can, will ye V 'What,is
your beast skittish V asked the gentle
man. 'No, sir,'said Pat, with an in
imitably shrewd leer, 'but if he saw
the big gentleman he'd most likely say,
'Whist, Pat, but it ought to be five
shillings. 1

The Fly Screen Agent.
He had six fly screens under his arm,
and was talking to a man in front of a
house on Hastings street.
'I am offering these at fifty per cent,
below their cash value/ lie explained,
'becauso I want to get out of town/
'Vhell, it vhassoon coming winter,
und I like to know-how some flies come
aroundt den ?' the man answered.
'That's true enough, my friend, but
the fly question is not the only thing.
These screens savt twenty-flye per cent.
in fuel.'
4 Vhell ?'
'They give an air of re flu erne at to the
house.'
'VheP V'
'I don't say that they keep out chole

house in Detroit provided with them
which lias had a case of cholera.'
'Yhell, dot vitas so.'
'ln buying them von help a poor man
to reach the bedside of his dying wife
in Buffalo.*
'Yes.'
'You add at least $;i00 to the value of
your place.'
'Yes.'
'They are not a burglar alarm, but
when a burglar finds them in the win
dows he turns away discouraged.'
'Dot vhss good.'
'The air which enters your house is
strained, as it were, and must therefore
be free of chips, gravel, sand, dust and
other substances deleterious to health.'
'I see.'
'And you will take 'em ?'
'My frendt, vhas dose fly screens like
a watch dog ?' If some poys come in

'lf I vhas in a row roit my vliife does

'Of course not.'
'Why, no; of course not.'
'lf I come home in der night und der

'No, sir—no sir. flow can you ex

'I see by the latest dispatches that
there has been an outbreak, and the
English authorities are very much a
larmed about it,' remarked a reporter
who called on Mr. O'Donovan llossa
at his cozy little office in New York.
'l've not seen anything about it yit
in the papers,' said Mr. Rossa; 'but I
could hrve told ye of that long ago, if
I only had a moind. The outbreak
was planned right here, bedad, in this
office, bv meself and a lew more Oirish

'The outbreak is in India.'
'Av coorse. Among the down trod

'At Madras,' observed the reporter.
'Right yez are agin.'
'lt is believed that it will spread.'
'l'll see to that meself.'
'lt is an outbreak of cholera,' re
marked the reporter, as ho passed out.
Votes, Not Reports, Will Settle It.
Chris Magee's Interview in Pittsburg Post.
'How about Cameron ?' asked the
reporter.
'He is well.'
'What are his prospects V
'Excellent.'
'Will there be a fight V
'None that I know of.'
'Has he votes enough to elect?' ]
'He has and some to spare.'
'The reports, circulated are not re
liable, then ?'
'Reports have nothing to (lo with
this contest; it will be decided by
votes.'
'ls Calvin Wells satisfied V
'Calvin Wells!' thoughtfully ejacu
lated Magee, studying for a moment.
'He is not a member ofthe Legislature
