IX TUP DELTA OP THE LEX A. Among the Takat. The ttory pet forth bv Chief Engi neer George V. Melville, in hi book In The Lena Delta, jut published bj Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., is the same old story so familiar to all readers of the record which the unconquerable and adventurom An-glo-Saxoo race bit- carwi wherever duty was to be done or danger en counteredha otten written in its own blood. Toil endured, peril con frouted, privation subuiitted to, dif ficulties overcome .all with the sicgle beartedness and rmatte-of-fact mod ety of the race, this is the story of Melville. The cruise of the-fated Jeannette is adverted to but brief! v, the story proper beginning with the separa tion of the boats of De Long, Mel ville and Chipp in the gale of Sep tember 13, 1W1, and including the history ot the search for De Long. There is a brief account of the ac count of the rescue of Greely, Mr. Melville having accompanied the re lief expedition under Commander Scbeley, and a plan for reaching the Pole that is not unworthy of discus sion. The book is handsomely turn ed out, and copiously illustrated, and the story is told with a refreshing plainness and abstention from rhet orical excess which enhance its ef fect Toe incidental allusions to the power of the ice and the perils of the Polar seas are graphic. We read of crowding and tumbling floes, across which seams run and rattle with the noise of thunder, while blocks of ice fifty feet high are puf fed up or tossed across the surface, and of the chaos of milious of tons heaped against the rocky islands, defying the progress of even the unhampered pedestrian. Mr. Mel ville blurs the romantic picture of the Et-quimaux calmly fitting in shoe-shaped tlcds. with the lif-hes of their lung whips sailing graceful ly behind, while the dugs dash in full cry atid perfect unison across smooth expanses of snow and ice, and substitutes in its place a scene as full ol action, if not of progress : Dogs yelling, barking, bnapping and fighting, the leaders in the rear and the wheelers in the middle, all as hopelessly' tangled up as a basket ful of eels. Such tangles the Yakut dissolve by merciless pounding with heavy iron -lipped staves, until the poor brutes become more tractable and scud along the hard snow at a six mile gait After an hour's run, the team is released and allowed to roll in the snow and lick their paws that to soon liecome sore with travel. Curiously enough, the Siberian dog returns promptly to harness when called. Mr. Melville gives a pathet ic description of the poor creatures, starved and broken down,with bleed ing feet, when cut loose and aban doned: "They would follow aftr for a little distance and then, unable to go further, sit on end and howl dismally, seeming to realize their fate to die of starvation or be de voured by wolves." Of the retreat from the Jeanette. it is enough to say that having to haul the sleighs singly, and to avoid hummucks, etc they often had to travel from tw.ty-five to thirty-two miles to advance two or three ; mean while the flow was drifting in the; contrary direction, so that alter a fortnights toil in shoes full of holes and even in their bare feet, the men found they bad lost twenty-four miles. When Melville's lucky crew reached the land it was with fingers that could not appreciate the differ ence between a roje and a needle ; their legs were frozen from the knee down, and had burst their coverings so frightful were the swellings ; the flesh was spongy to the touch. "When one of the men, entering the smoky hut, stepped on my left foot, the skin gave way from the ankle down, and shot him off to one side like a 6hip slipped from a greased launching way." Life among the Yakuts must be like a nightmare. Forty per cent, are blind and GO per cent, partially eo.or one-eyed,and syphilitic disease prevail to an awful extent "Man ners none, customs beastly," might be the verdict of the travler. "I have Been," says Mr. Melville, "forty per sons sleep in a hut 1G by 24 ana 7 feet high. For food they have salt less fish, geese nunc till they become putrid, flour mixed with spruce chips whatever will distend the stomach. Melville made his first journeys with little other sustenance than the heads and offal of fish that could be found in abandoned huts, rotten deer bones, tendous and rawhide. One of his guides set out on a journey ot 200 miies with a team of tired dogs and no provisions but a tiny piece chipped from a block of lea. Of the capacity of the Ya kut stomach we have a graphic if not reproducable account at page 316, the Siberian Gargantua swallow ing nearly nineteen pounds of mel ted butler at two long drinks. Little as the natives have they are cheated. The Russian tax-gatherer keeps them inignorance of the advance in the value of furs during the last genera tion and collecting in kind pays a small portion of the proceeds in cash into the treasury ,and steals the re?!, while gamblers infest the villages systematically ,buy w hatever the na tives have to sell and cheat them out of the money. Nevertheless these poor wretches supported the ship wrecked crew, and showed no little capacity lor fidelity and obe dience ; there is a picture of a frol icsome young bride's love-making to her bashful husband, which has a touch of the idyl about it, and Mel ville found near the Pole, as Mungo Park at the Kauator, that the wo man's her rt always has a fount of sympathy for the suffering and the fitrauger. He 6ay (p. 11)0). "The women at once busied them selves in the removal of my outer garments, and gazing at my frozen and puffed up hands, broke into a clamor of exclamations and ques tions. Presently I began to feel the effect of the heat; my slusgish blood began to circulate more freely and went pulsing painfully through toy frozen limbs; and when the women, ignorant of my condition, took hold of the top of the mocca sins to pull them off. they also par tially peeled the ekin from my legs until they bled and I cried out in agony. The poor creature started back aa though struck, while the rest crowded around and craned their necks to have a look at the bleeding, bair matted sores, weeping and saying: "Poor white man, he suffered from the cold !" The wom an next used their knives, and rip ping the outer earns of the mocca tins, removed them as gently as pos sible, leaving the hair of the fur stocking stickinin the wounds ; then the frozen limbs were given a bath by pouring water over them, and when dried, they were fanallv smeared with goose greaae. by this time I was seized with n uocon trollable drowsiness, and notwith standing the babbling of tongues about me, lell mw a sound IrOUJ V UJCU A U'U"M"' " - length, to find myself carefully cov ered up with the furs of the natives. Traveling by deer-sled, though rapid work f-ome of Mr. Melville's posting was done at almost railroad Seed, as 140 versts in 13 hours, 80 iu 6r hour, and 900 versU (the vert i two third of a mile) in 5 days and 18 hourais not always pleas ant, either to traveler or to animal. The wilds are pathles; occasionally the driver has the excitement of pur suit by a iog-teaia ravenous for veu i6on; the sleds overturn on the slightest provocation. The deer are kept to their work by being punch ed in the haunches with a pole. "When driven at the top of their speed tbey labor painfully along, with heads thrust forward, nostrils distended, sides working at every leap, like a great pair of nlacksmith's t bellows, and the noise oi ineir breathing like the exhaust ofa loco motive. Maintaining their fearful exertions fur about half an hour they suddenly swerve among the trees, or up a "steep bank, to avoid their tormentor, or dropping down in their tracks, bury their heads with open mouths in the snow, and eat voraciously of the cooling dust" Tne cattle are housed, during the winter months, under the sane roof, and frequently in the same apart ments, with their owners : the hors es are not stabled, even in the se verest weather, but dig through the snow for grass, or crop twigs and branches of trees. Concerning the Siberian exiles Mr. Melville tells u a good deal. One, whom he met repeatedly, was a law student who had been arrest ed for participation in a student's street row. After three examina tions the Courts could find nothing against him, nevertheless he was packed off to the frozen North for life on an "administrative order," which said: "We can find nothing against this man; but he is a law student, and no doubt very danger ous." This exile's companions whose ages ranged from IS to 27, wre all profes-ional men and con firmed Nihilists, though several said they h;td not been eo until after their banishment Each was allowed S1250 with which to feed, clothe and house himself and pro cure fuel and service; this where rye meal costs nearly 8 cents a pound and sugar 50. Some of the exiles with wealthy friends receive alli ances from "them, but thesa must not exceed 8150 at one payment, and mails ore very irregular say twice a year, with packages at odd intervals through traveling mer chants. No exile may send or re ceive a sealed packet. The natives are held accountable, under penalty of imprisonment and the knout, lor anv escapes. One of the exiles met by Melville had been a practicing physician in the Crimea; he had neither commit ted a crime nor belonged to a so ciety; he might, however have of fended a rival by his marriage, lie had been treating the child of the local police-master, but she was convalescent when, one morning, he was sent for 4y that official sent for with such urgency that he was not allowed to finish his breakfast or take an overcoat. On reaching the official's residence he was told that he was a pusoner, on an "administrative order," and, without being permitted to bid fare well to his young wife, or to obtain money or clothing, he was packed off to Siberia within twelve hours. His wife followed him to Irkutsk, intending to join him in exile, hut he was moved on ta Vtrkerausk, 2000 miles distant, just before her arrival; she went mad and died in despair at this ending of her 4000 mile journey, and he, after an at tempt at suicide, settled down in his hojelessness to practice his pro fession without fee, since no exile is allowed to gain money for him self. He was not a Nihilist; indeed, he was in indifferent rtpute with companions because of bis modera tion "in politics. There is some sat isfaction in reflecting that the Nihil ists utilize their reputation for bloodtnirstiness and desperation in order to worry the officials and to make the traders sell them goods at a discount One exile, a poet and scholar, whose translation of the Bible was appropriated by the Bish op of the diocese, attempted an es cape by securing a "double" a Cos sack closely resembling him, and trained and educated till the de ception could hardly be discovered, being substituted for him, but his clever plan miscarried, and he was sent into a severer captivity. The only contented exiles are the "Scaups' (hkoptzoi?), who mutilate themselves so that they cin neither beget nor nurse children. They are teetotalers aud vegetarians, live in communities under police surveil lance, and farm exten-ively. An Kou to Dune Scraping. Elward Shepherd, of tlarrisburg, III., says: "Having received so much benefit from Klectric Bitters, 1 feel it my duty to lei suffering hu manity know it Have had a run ning sore on my leg for eight years ; my doctors told me I would have to bav the bone scraped or leg ampu tated.

Cuzeo. the ancient capital of the , d . Empire of Peru is situated bigb up among the Anden.at a poiut bo elevated that, although under the tropics, is has the climate and products of the temperate zone. It still has many remains of Incaarchi- tecture.dislineuished fonts massive- iiess, which are likely to endure for centuries to come. On a bill, or eminence, nearly a thousand feet hiirh. overlooking the city, are the remains of the great Inca fortress of the dm sa-Dua man, in uiewirmiug of which Juan Pizarro, the brother of the conqueror of Peru, was slain. This fortress was built of gigantic stones, or rather rocks, and their great size and the accuracy with which they are fitted together aston ish all who see them. In front of this lortress is a curi ous, dume-shaped mass of rock, call e 1 the Ro da-riero. aud sometimes also La Ptedra Lisa, or "smooth rock," because iu convex surface is grooved, as if the rock had been squeezed up, while in a plastic state, between irreguUr and unyielding walls,and then hardened into shape. A ntass ol dough, forced up under the outspread hands, would give something of the same appearance in miniature. But the hollows of Ihe grooves on the Peruvian hill are smooth and glassy. It is said in the old chronicles and traditions, tbot the Inca youth, long years ago amused themselves by coursing, or sliding through these .polished grooves on festival days and holy days ; and this custom is still prac ticed by the modern youth of Cuzco. There is one advantage, and it is a great one, too, which these boys possess over the northern boys, who live in the land of iceand snow, and that is, it is not necessary for them to toil up a long and slippery hill, dragging after them their heavy sleds, which grow heavier with ev ery step they take, so that the lon ger they ride the harder work it is to get back to the starting place. The Cuzco bov sits down at the top of the rock in one of the grooves, and with a slight start away he goes with ail the speed imaginable, until he readies the bottom, sanding in a soft bed of earth : then he picks himself up, runs around to an easy place of ascent, and is up again "n a minute to repeat his ride. St. Nich olas. A Bad Subject. Colonel Mateland was recently appointed agent of a well-known life insurance company. The high standing of the Colonel and his ex cellent qualifications as a business man immediately secured tor him a remunerative run of business. The other day, while sitting in his office, a healthy-looking man enter ed and said that he would like to have his life insured. "I am in a hurry," said he "for my friends are waiting for me at the door. I want a $10,000 policy." The company's physician, who was present, pronounced him sound, and the policy was soon made out Several days liter a friend met the Colonel in the street and said: 'What businefs did young Blu mus have with you the other day ?" "Had his life insured." "And you insured it?" "Of course. Why shouldn't I? He is in good health." But I believe he will die sudden ly." "We have an eminent physician to decide upon such possibilities. What makes you think he will die suddenly ?" "Oh, it's nothing to me, Colonel. If your phvsician knows, all right The young fellow requested that he he ollowed to go out and settle up his private affairs, and the Judge granted it" "The Judge!'' gasped the (Vilonel.
