The story of I,Aeutenant Schwatka'S
A:rcfic exploration's, aagiven by the
New York herald's • correspondent,
is 'painfully fascinating. The party
reac-ied their permanent camp on
Simpson Strait,hear Caa.dinaW \ l'ciint,
September 19, 1879; at the foot of a
high hill, which Toolooah remarked
would make a good lookout tower
for deer hunting. AU along ,this part
of the coast; ware Simpson Strait is
narrowest, was expected soon to
swarm with reindeer waiting for the
salt water to. freeze so they can con
tinue their Migration southward. It
was. •for this reason that the party
chose it, and also la await the freez
ing of
. the strait, so that they , could
cross with their heavy sleds. On the
23d they ran iipon , ?a herd of. about
fifty, and Toolooah killed seyen be
fore they could' get away, following
them up, rtinnina.nnd drOpping • on
his knee to fire. So rapid and effee-i
tire was his 'delivery with his Win- .
chestcr repeating carbine that this
unequalled achievement was accom
plished in less than ten minutes; and
well knowing that it was to his splen
did weapon that the - credit largely
belonged, this undemohstrative sav
age -held up' - - his ride and kissed it..
On the 30th Toolooah killed twelve
reindeer, Joe eight and Equeesik and
the writer each three,making a grand.
total Uf twenty-six by the party alone
in one day. - Reindeer tallow is a
large part' of the food of the explor
ers, as of the natives, when they,pan
act it. • Breakfast is eaten raw and
'Frozen, but we generally have:a warm
meal in the evening. Fuel is .hard
to obtain, and conshitsenOrely,of a
vine-like moss called Ili-shoot-ill.
Reindeer' tallow ,is also used for a
A-small flat stone serves for
a _candlestick, on Which a lump of
talk - CY:is placed, close to a piece . .of
fibrous' moss called mun-ne, which is
used for a wick. : The tallow melting
runs down
,upon the stone, midis im-'
mediately absorbed by the moss.
This makes.a very cheerful ant-plena
ant, light, but is , most exasperating
to a' hungry. man, as it smells exactly
like frying meat..
'On the afternoon of the. 27th of
September a heavy snowstorm set in,
and the next morning the snow was
knee deep on the .level .ice. The
storm . continued , - until during the
night of the 29th. The snow was.
very deep,,btit the winter wihils soon
blew it around anti packed it down
so as to be 'almost solid. By the 14th
of October the sledging was. suttl
eiently•goodifOr Toolooah "to :go 'to
Cape Herschel . : and.; Terror Bay for
the sled and Other' articles thatwere :
left there during the sumpiet for the
want of transportation. As his little
,boy would suffet with the cord Too
loosh exchanged wives with. Joe for
the trip, a very usual and convenient
custom among the Esquimaux. Too-'
looahgotliabk on the 2,3 d. He killed
three bearsithe.day he reached Ter
ror Bay. TAB of them got into the
water, and : he had to : go to the edge
of the new ieq,.using -a - pole to stand
upon while them out. He
killed one reindeer at Cape Herschel,
which was all lie saw 'while away.
- The party started :November 1, but
ulid not suoceee in getting further
than the, shore of the straits, about
three miles from camp, owing to the
'heavy sleds and the dogs being so
,fat that they werelar.y.
.They had fondly hived' to be., at
the Pangetous Rapids 17 the 10th
or 15th of November, but only reach-1
ed the native - taint) near the mouth
of Kig-hiuk-too (Sherman Inlet). on
the 12th, owing to the heavily loaded,
sled and the much bad weather, togs
and wind that would blow the -snow
around so -that they could-not see
their course. There was quite a large
camp of Netchillik and Obkwolik
Esquimaux on' .a
big lake near the
mouth of Sherman inlet, the. largest
camp they had yet seen.
They `. found but - few interesting
relics among them. Only a piece of
the boat found in Wilmot Bay after
the big ship sunk, and, part of the
block branded eithef ."10" or "0 B."
with part of the It obliterated. If
the ship's blocks were branded • with
tare name of the vessel to which they
were attached, this Would be import
ant as establishing the identity of the
ship that drifted down as the Terror.

said the aprisearance".of the
bones led the Innuitslo the OAlnion
that: the white men had been eating
each other. What little flesh was
still ,on the bones was very freSh ;
one body bad all the - flesh on. The
hair. was light ; .it looked like a long
body. He saw a number
snow goggles, and alongsi
Viidy, with the flesh , on it was
of- gold spectacles.. (lie pick d lout

a 'few were gold, but most were silver.
They are all lost', now. They were
given to the children to play with

One body—the one with fleslkon—
had a gold chain on, fastened to gold
earrings, and - - a gold hunting-caie
watch with engine-turned engraving
attached •to the chain, and'hanging•
down,ithout 'the waist. ne said when
he pulled the chain it, pulled the head

a gold ring on the ring finger of the
right hand. • It was taken off and
has since been lost by the children
-in the - gate -way. that the other things
•
were lost. His treason (Or thinking
that they•bad been eating each other
was because the hones were cut with
a'knife or saw. • They found one big
,saw and one small one in Ale boat ;
also a large red tin case of smoking.
tdbacco and pipes. The bones : are
now covered nii with said and sea

others lay around among the . rocks

was also a large quantity of 'canvas
in and around the grave, with:coarse

if the body had been encased for

one'Of the stones at the foot of - the
grave Henry found a medal which
was thickly covered with grime, and .
was so much kliecolor of the clay
stone on which it rested as to nearly

• silver!medal, two-and-alaalf_inclies in
diameter, which identified the grave
as. that of . Liettenant John Irving,

men and the _means. resorted-to
for sustaining life are of intense in-.
terest.. A few are here reproduced :
" Itls.a difficult matter to keep guns
in working order in the intensely cold'
weather we were experiencing. At
sixty and seventy below zero every
thing freezes. Even the iron and
wood are affected, Strong oak and
hickory !vill breall\almost like icicles,
and when. guns were broUght into
the. warmer temperature of an igloo
to clean:they would gather moisture,
whieh had to be removed from every
portion of the lock and working parts
before again meeting the cold, i' or'
they would be worthless as weapons.
They must also be kept tree from, oil
or any kind of grease, as all lubri
cants of that sort will harden and
prevent the working of the lock. " It
-is a matter of great difficulty to get
near: enough to such wary game . as
the :reindeer in winter, when the
sound of the hunter's. footstebs,
the soles of his shoes dre covered
with fur, is carried on the, wind ;andr
on be distinctly heard mere than a
mile away. I have frequefitly beard
the crunching, of the sled r)inners on
the brittle - snow, a. ringing sound, like
striking bars of steel,. . a distance of
over two miles. * * *
.The
country is filled with reindeer, and'
on every, hillside their biet.th can be
seen rising like clouds of iteam.` A
herd that was frightened by.the dogs
which were. following tho' musk ox
tracks scampered off in eery direc
tion, and it looked as if .a lot of loco

" The country began to swarm
with wolves now as well as with rein•
deer,.and we would meet them daily.
Often they would] come close to the
igloos.; and one _night Toolooah shot
one of three that were eating with
our dogs the meat he had throWn ont,
for food. They killed lin& ate four
of%Equeesik's!dogs and attacked him
when he went out of the igloo 'Le
drive them off. He killed:two of Lie
assailants w ith: ills rifle and two oth
ers by_the most infernal traps ever
devised. He set two keenly-sharpened
knife - blades in the ice and covered
them with blood, Which the wolves
licked, at the same
_time slicing their
tongues, the cold keeping them from
feeling the wounds 'at the time and
their own warm blood tempting theta
to continue until their tongues were
so scarified that death *as inevitable.

for wolves these.devices of Equeesik's

when a pa...-k of abouttwenty wolves

What I Think About 'Tattlers.
To define the word Tattler would
fender it' netessary to .find a word
that means the same or nearly the
same that one ' , Word or compilation
of words could comprehend the
inertness of the word Tattler would
be,a Startling . revelation to any one
who• is acquainted with one. Rob all
the languages 'in existence of every
wOrd.Of vituperation they .contain,
Submit them to a process' of conden-'
sation until you have crowded the
meaning of- them all into one word
and that word is Tattler. Raifsack

make careful note of all the deprav-
ed,, debased, malim e' nant attributes
that man or wpmanhas,is, or can be
possessed of,collect them - all together;
givel,hon personal existence and you
have only a Tattler. Judas Iscariot
was simply a Tattler and - it was his
first offense that has made his name
a synonym of treachery for 1800
years.
,Benedict Arnold was a Tattler, but
of so exceptional good character fork

elevate his profession than any mem
ber of it before or Since. Go into the
dismal swamp of Florida, empty

Thoughtful Thoughts.
NEVER go where yOti cannot ask God.
to go with you ; never be found where
you would not_ like death to find you
nover indulge - in any pleasure whichwill
not bear the Morning's reflection.? Keep
yourself unspotted from the world—not
frAm its spots only,: but even from its sus
picion.
kr is better tb let trouble come all the
way to you than to meet it half way. Let
the bright side of life be your study ;
when clouds_ gather over you, peer
through them for the sun rays ; itthorns
obstruct your pathway, brush them aside
and beneath them look for the hidden
flowers that in their modest seclusion
await your-seeking..
Do young persoes ever think how little
it takes to stain their characters ? A
drop' of ink is a very _small thin, yet,_
dropped into a tumbler of clear water, it
blackens the whole, And so the first oath,
the first lie, the first wrong act or thought
of.evil may seem trhiel, but it leaves a
stain upon the character. Look out for
the first stain. •
Hors ! Sweet hope ! Man's greatest so
lace and his' greatest trust ! The darkness
of the, night, which bows the soul in deep,
est misery 'neath cankering_carg and woe,
and, unfolds fears of, coming evil, may
bring a bright day of promise, of love as
suaged, if hope's echoing prisoners wake
the heart and faith usurp the place of
gnawing pain,' when fell despair has rob
bed us of joy and peace.
To ei . ery'rnan there are many,
__znany
dark hours when he feels inclined to
abandon, his e \ a best interest—hours when
his heart's d reit'hopes appear delusive;
-hours when ho feels unequal to the bur
den, when all of ;his aspirations seem
worthless. Let no one think that he alone
has dark liours. They are the common
lot of humanity., They 'are the tench
stone to,tty whether we are current coin
or not.
