SIR 30IIN FRANKLIS`.
The Strange Story front California.
The Trentne has the. following:
The report from San Francisco of the dis
covery on the California roast of. a:recoritot
the Franklin expedition supposed to have
.been thrown overboard among the 'frozen
waters of the Arctic circle, and after twenty
otie.yeara to have been cast ashote_:spinething
likes ,000 miles from theplace where it was
launcheeL• is : full of • a -melancholy interestt,
though there is little probability that the doeu-•
mem, even if authentic, will add. much to
what we already know of the last: days of
Franklires gallant band. In all 'likelihood the
record is merely a duplicate of the one' which
McClintock • - discovered on Ring -
Island in 18W. Sir Leopold, it will be remem
bered, found there the only authentic account
ofFrankliiisfate which, up to- the present
time; has ever reached us. In a cairn,
erected twenty-eight years before by Sir John
Ross. he found, inclosed in a tin case, a re
cord"of Sir John's last cruise up to the :45th of
April,ll34B. Franklin had died on the 11th
of June, 1847; The ships , Erebus and Terror
had been frozen in for nineteen months; and
the survivors of the crew, 105 in number, un
-der-command_of_Captain_Crozier, bad aliand-__
oned them'and set out over land for the Great
Fish river of British liortlf America. • Mc-
Clintock heard from the Esquimanx how the
White men had one by one dropped down and
died on the way. He found the. skeletons of
two or three, with their abandoned sledges.
'boats, and guns; he satisfied- himself
that the remainder had perished misir
ably among the frozen 'straits, and
their bones had been lost in the waters when
the short summer thaw sat in; and though
there has since been a rumor that Crozier and
some of his men were alive several years later
among the Esquimaux, and may even yet be
wandering in those inaccessible regions where
the foot of no other civilized man has ever
trod, there can be little • doubt that Mc-
Clintock's conclusions were justified, and that
no later record of the most memorable of all
Arctic voyages will ever reach cis.
The document said to have been found on
the California coast appears to • have been
written, as that found on King William's Is
land was, on., one of the printed forms fur
-nisheel 41y-the-British- _Admiralty_to_al
cerVerk,.Ships for the purpose of being inclosed
in bottles andi thrown overboard in order to
ascertain the direction of ocean currents. So
exact indeed, judging from ' the telegraphic
report, is its resemblance to /the McClintock
relic, that we should have little hesitation in
pronouncing it 'a forgery inspired by that
- document - were-it-not probable that-a- forger
woul' have invented some variation; and
given the record a later date. The latitude is
the same as that in which Crozier deposited
the writing in the tin • case; the longitude
differs by ten seconds, Crozier giving 98 deg.
4 min. 15 sec., and the California report 98
deg. 4 Min. 5 see.=--but this. discrepancy may
be owing to a telegraphic blunder.
If, this wait wits really committed to the
waves, by'the crews of the Erebus and Terror
when they set: 'out . upon their awful land
journey in the Sprinq of 1848, it must have
floated through that Is orthwest Passage which
so many lives and so many years of heroism
were expended , in ••seekin_g, • and which it is
now known that Franklin was the first to
disbover, though the knowledge of .it
was' not brought, back . to the - civ
ilized world until. Sir Leopold . McClintock
returned . from his search It must
have floated through Behring's Strait, . been
tossed about the shores •of British America,
perhaps crossed and recrossed the Pacific, be-.
fore chance threw it upon the beach of San
Buenaventura. Such a course would be an
interesting confirmation :of the theory that
while there is a, Warmodeanic current setting
Northward front the equator:- through - Bell= .
ring'srStraiti - there-is a cold counter-current -
under4unning it, Which carries off the Waters
of the Pole to be heated Under the tropical
sun and again sent Northwards.
—The Parisian frenzy to mingle blood with

Mine. Olympe Audouard, fancying herself ag
grieved by an article in the Figaro, has chal
lenged M. de Villemessant, to. fight a duel.
'When an angry shoemaker called out
Grainer de Cassagnac the other day, the ac
complished littdrateur made Paris laugh by
__replying, with pinch politeness, that he (had
-- not learned to fight with awls." M. de Ville
mestant might , have sent answer to this lady
- that - his tongue-was-not so - quick as - his - pen;
but she gives him no opportimity for this re
tort. "Pistola" is her bloodthirsty- word; and,
lest any lingering delicacy for, her family
should deter the critic, she lots .him know
that he may shoot her if he eau ' seeing
that, she is a widow and has neither father nor

for his absence,•sent• a complimentary letter,,
in which he says :. . •

of their defeat that I could not rally . my spirits

and. I . am proud-of men whose defeat' is
so .. glorious in both hemispheres. I am
not of' those who countsuch efforts a Weide

butions to , a true manhood. In this case I be=
lieve that the Harvard crew have been peace-.
makers between two great nations that ought.
to be eternally friends. They 'have (tailed

which will not soon subside. - There am. be a
good work done with the oars as well as pens
and statesmanship. If I . were with you
should lika to give each of them a cordial
grip of the hand, and to tell them that,l -for
one am heartily obliged to them."
Lontsto's SPEECH.
In response to a complimentary toast, Mr.
Loring said he should only be too glad to say
a few words to them in retarnfor the kindness'
tendered them on their. arrival. He thanked
them for the magnificent entertainment, and
said that he Was not prepared for such an ova
tion as the present one. As one of the crew
be felt that they had really done all they could
to earn victory. They had done their best. Of
course they felt very sorry in not being able to .
bring over witli..them the laurels of victory:
They had used their best efforts toward that
object. [Great applause.) ' •
SPEECH •OF SIR. IsLAIKIE. •
Mr. Blailde said: "This is a 'fine oppon
tunity to acknowledge your kindness. When
we Came to yotir city, some months ago, five
in number, we were treated in the most regal
style. A few' days ago I was talking to our.'
stroke, and he said it there.was any chance of
a reception that we had better go . • right
through, and told him we had done our best,
and that.' did not see how any' one could find
fault with us. .T. said 1. believed 'in staying
the city, as we had done everything to the best
of our ability. [Applause.]
"Now we want the Oxfords to come over
here.' The ice has been broken; and we don't
see why they cannot come over. We will
give them a fair race and a fair course. [Hear,
hear.] We rowed them on. their own course,,
and we want them to return the compliment.
We know the difficulties of the in
many points of detail and all of the character of
the course, but we trusted to their honor to
keep the course clear, and nobly did they do ;
it. The Oxfords said they did not know what
a clear course was until that day." They had
no cause to complain. Haying briefly re
viewed the details of the race, he said:—The
English pa pm prophesied that the Harvards
would lead in the race, and they did, but some
claimed that it was 'done"' by the Ox'brcls.
on.purpose. It is the custom of professional
men when racing to get in front of their op
ponents' boat and "wash" them. I had an
interview with Mr. Tinne in regard to,
this, with a view to its discontinuance. Mr.
Tinne admitted that it was an ungentlemanly
act, and no definite agreement was made. At
one critical point the Harvards bad afine Op
portunity to resort to this advantage, but they
did hot avail theinselvds - of it, but afterward
the OxfOrd crew, obtaining a sufficient lead,
washed their boat. and then practically the
race was decided." Mr. Simmons was also
indisposed, suffering from a slight diarrhoea,
but, possessing a strong heart, attached no •
the utmost kindness and attention from all
classes, particularly from the Oxford crew. I
was . reqaested 'to act as refere e, _but supported
the nomination of Mr. Tom Hughes. No at
tempt was made to interfere with the crew in
any manner or fashion. I have been asked
whether they willeome here to row. I cannot
say anything about it, but I trust they will not
long hence come over and row us in our own
waters. [Great applause.]
Mr. Blaikie said he fully intended to pro
pose to Mr. Willan to meet/ our Harvard
crew on their own water. -He was not called
upon and therefore no arrangement was made.
The fact that but one member of the Oxford
crew was present must not be 'interpreted to
their prejudice, for most of them, without a i
knowledge of the dinner, had made' arrange.
menhi to leave the city. Mr. Blaikie then pro.
posed three cheers for the Oxford four ,of '69,
which were given with a will.
GE 9. TRUMAN, Jr.,
Chief Marshal
, although not entirely unexpected, most of the
larger sails having been double-reefed in ex
pectation of a squall, that four of the crew
were washed away, the rest barely gaining a
place on the mizzen chains. Working for
dear life, the sailors at once cut away the
weather lanyards, fore, main and mizzen, and
the ship partially righted, the sea breaking;
over her with terrific force. While the wea
. ther lanyards were being cut away seven
men were washed oft from the mizzen chains,
of whom only four were saved,the others strug
gling wildly for a moment, . then, going down
exhausted, and in full sight of their comrades.
.As soon as the .vessel righted, Captain Rus
sell, seeing that the only chance for life and
home lay in the advent of a. vessel, set the
survivors of his crew to keep a sharp lookout
for a sail. • From 8 A. 31. until 1 P. 31. the
wearied sailors clung desperately to the
wreck, tired andworn' out, and almost de-
Spairing, but at the latter hour the gale began
to abate,- and their position became some
what ' more endurable. At 3 P. M. ' a
large brig-rigged steamer, passed two miles

time afterward their signal. attracted the at
tention of Capt. Cowell, -of the brig
T. H. A.- kitt, who ; ;:, put on a little more

the aCeria. There is also a'fitie specimea of the
Guava tree in full bearing, with the curious
Cisans, a species of Japanese . grape. The
whole region presents a maze of bewildering,
strange and beautiful things, and if the exhi
.bition ended here, it .would amply , repay. a
visit, At the extreme back of the stage a
sheet of water runs over rocks and banks of
moss, the effect multiplied and heightenedby
mirrors ingeniouSly placed for , the pur
pose. These decorations were de
vised by Mr. William Southwood,
Another feature which attracted great at
tention is the magnificent floral design by
Graham, which was also mentioned in yester
, day's BULLETIN. It is located in the south
west corner of the room, and stands 16 feet
from the floor. The base is made of ever
greens, and the remainder of eat flowers. On
the top is a representation of a belfry or
church-tower, in which hangs an immense
bell. The design IS similar to those erected by
Mr. Graham at the Academy of Music on'the
occasion of the ball given by the Masonic
Knights Templar.
A general idea of the exhibition was given
in the BULLET IN of yesterday, but it, is utterly'

fertile fields and valleys of the ever-expanding
West, and the golden shores of the Pacific, I
greet you with aright hearty welcome to the
privileges and pleasures of this occasion. But
as my Official duty requires me to address you
more formally, I shall refrain from further re
marks at this time, and proceed to the busi=
ness of the Convention.".

inE.--Last night t about 12 o'clock, a fire
broke out in an old three-story.brickstructure,
, on Garden st.;aboire Willow, lii the Thirteenth
Ward. The building is owned by Dr. Samael
Freedlen - and - is occupied - by - Wm.A.'Arnold, -
,manufacturer of marbleized slate mantles. The.
' fire appears tohave originated on the first floor,.
land ran rapidly up the hoistway to the upper
'part. The building was badly wrecked, and
the stock, fixtures, &c., of Mr. Arnold were
greatly Onmaged. ' The stock on hand was a
fine one, and included a lot, of mantles boxed
',up ready for removal. The stock &c., is in
sured for .$5,000 in the Pennsylvania Ffrof
surance Company. This, it is thought, will
scarcely cover the loss. The 'blinding is
damaged to the
_extent of 51,000. •
