Tlie Terrible Slory ol the StruLEle for L.ile Which II Tells. WASHINGTON, Jane 26 The Navy Depariment is in receipt of advices from Engineer Melville, j dated Lena Delta, March 2tf, in which he give 9 a detailed account of hi 9 op- j perations up to that date and full par- , ticulars of the finding of the remains of | De Long and his comrades. This ' story has already been told. But En gineer Melville also forwards a copy of a note-book found by De Long s body, which tells the story of the strug gle for life which the men had. The notes were begun on October 1, 18S1, aud were continued to October 30. Towards the last the notes were very brief. The first entry tells of the amputation of Erickson's toes. On the 3rd of October nothing was left to eat but their dog, which was killed and dressed and a stew made of such parts as could not be cured. All par took of the stew except De Long and the doctor. They sat around a fire all night, but had it not been for Alexy's sealskin, De Long thinks he would have died from the cold. The next morning Erickson was un conscious and had to be lashed to a sled. At eight o'clock the party reach ed a hut large enough to hold them all, and for the first time since Saturday they managed to get warm. Erickson was very low and prayers were read for him "before the others sought rest. At ten all except Alexy lay down to sleep. Alexy went off to hunt, and at noon returned wet, having fallen into the river. At six they roused up and had a pound of dog meat for each person and a cup of tea, the day's al lowance, but they were so grateful that they were not exposed to the terrible gale which was raging at the time that they did not mind short rations. The next day, Wednesday, tea and dog meat were eaten and on Thursday Alexy was sent out to hunt and Erick son died whi|e he was gone. Alexy returned empty-handed. The notes at this point say: "What in God's name, is going to become of us? Fourteen pounds of dog meat left and twenty five miles to a possible settlement." Under date of October 6 the notes say: "117 th day of meat and tea. The last grain of tea was put in the kettle, and we are now about to undertake a journey of twenty-five miles with some old tea leaves ant two quarts of alco hol. However, 1 trust in God, and I believe that He who has fed us so far will not suffer us to die of want now." They got under way about 8:30 A. M. and proceeded until 11:20, by which time they had made about three miles and were pretty well done up. They had half an ounce of alcohol in a pot of tea for dinner. Went ahead and soon struck what seemed to be the main river again. Here four of the party broke through the ice in trying to cross, and fearing frost-bite a fire was built. Alexy shot one ptarmigan and there was supper. On Sunday, the 9th, Noris and Ninderman were sent ahead The party crossed a creek, broke through the ice and got wet. Dinner consisted of half an ounce of alcohol, but three ptarmigans afforded soup for supper. They found a canoe and partial shelter for the night. The entry for Monday, October 10, is thus: "Last half-ounce of alcohol at 5:39. At 6:30 sent Alexy off to look for ptarmigan Eat dear skin scraps. Yesterday morning ate my bear skin foot tips. Under way at 8. In crossing creek three got wet. Built fire and dried out. Ahead again untill 11. Used up. Built a fire aud made a drink out of the tea leaves and from the alcohol bottle. On again at noon. Very hard going. Ptarmigan tracks plentiful. At 3 halted. Used up. Crawled into a hole in the bank. Alexy in quest of game. Nothing (or supper excepting a spoonful of glycer ine. All hands weak and feeble, but cheerful. God help us." "Tuesday, 11— N. W. gale with snow. Unable to move. No game. One spoonful of glycerine and hot water for food. No more wood in our vicinity." "Wednesday, 12th.—Breakfast, last spoonful of glycerine and hot water. For dinner a couple handsful of Arctic willow in a pot of water and drauk the infusion. Everybody getting weaker and weaker. Hardly able to get fire wood. S. W. gale, with snow. "Thursday, 13th.—Willow tea. No news from Ninderman. Wo are in the hands of God, and unless lie re lents we are lost. We cannot move against the wind, and staying here means starvation. Afternoon, went ahead for a mile. After crossing an other river, or the bend of the big river, missed Lee; went down into a hole in the bank and camped. Sent back for Lee. He had lain down and was waiting to die. All uuited in saying the Lord's Prayer and Creed. After supper strong gale of wind; horrible night." Breakfast on Friday consisted of willow tea and dinner of willow tea and one-half spoonful of sweet oil. On Saturday breakfast consisted of willow tea and two old boots. The next day Alexy broke down, and on Monday, the 17th, died. On the 19th the doc tor went ahead to find a new camp, and the final entries read : Friday—Kaack was found dead about midnight between the doctor and myself. Lee died about noon. Read prayers for sick when we found he was going. Saturday—Too weak to carry the bodies of Lee and Kaack out on the ice. The doctor, Collins and myself carried them around the corner out of sight. Then my eyes closed up. Sunday—Everybody very weak. Slept or rested to-day and then manag ed to get enough wood in before dark. Read part of Divine service. Suffering in our feet- No foot-gear. Friday—Tyerson died during early morning. Saturday, 20th—Dressier died during night. Sunday, October 30, 140 th day-- Boyd and Gartz died during tue night. Mr. Collins dying. This is the end of Lieutenant De- Long's diary. DeLong, Surgeon Ambler and Ah Sam, the cook, died soon after the last note was written. A Pleasant Letter. Special Telegram. Zeeland, Mich.—Please find enclosed draft for amount of Invoice, May 7, 1879. The Baxter's Mandrake Bitters give the best satisfaction of any patent medicine I handle. They have adver tised themselves after selling a few bottles, and I warrant every bottle. N. De Jvrief, Druggist. Wlieu t» Flak l«.»r HUHN. In regard to buss fishing* oil persons who have paid any nticut ou whatever to the subject agree ia savins? that bass should not, be caught 1 efore the first of July. During the month of June th % young bass are too siuall to take care of themselves and catching ihe old bass exposes these young to the depredations of other fish. At one time the law did uot allow the catch ing of bass until Aug. Ist and it ought never to have been changed. Some of the bass are even now making their beds for spawning, and others have just finished spawning. The fish j commissioners ought to know enough about bass to know these things, and should have a law passed next winter changing the date for bass fishing to begin no earlier than July Ist. Rose Cold and Hay Fever. Being seriously troubled with Hay Fever and Rose Cold I tried Ely's Cream Balm, aDd was surprised in ob tianing almost immediate relief. I earnestly recommend it to all similarly nffiicted. W. P. ANDUUS, Druggist, Metuchen, N. J. Having been afflicted with Hay Fever for years I gave Ely's Cream Balm a trial; was much benefited. I I have had no attacks since using it. E. K. RAUCH, Editor Carbon Co. Democrat, Mauch Chunk, Pa. For years I have been afflicted with Hay fever from early in August un til frost. I was induced to give Ely's Cream Balm a trial. The relief was immediate. I regard my self cured. G. SCHEF.IBF.R, Supt. of Cordage Co., Elizabeth N. J. The State University of Minnesota has inaugurated a practice in its meth ods of discipline which certainly has novelty to commend it, whatever may be the objections to it. Some of the students, having escaped from bounds, were pursued by two professors, and one of the young men finding himself hard pressed by the fleet representative of collegiate authority, drew a revol ver. At once he who so long had taught the young idea how to shoot gave a practical illustration of his teaching by drawing his own pistol and shooting the young man in the thigh. If this practice should become general, recommendations for professor ships will hereafter contain a clause certifying to the dexterity of the ap plicant in 'drawing' quickly and shoot ing accurately. Bright'* Disease, Diabetes. Beware of the stuff that pretends to these diseases or other serious Kidney, Urinary or Liver Diseases, as they only relieve for a time and makes you ten times worse afterwards, but rely solely on Hop Bitters, the only reme dy that will surely and permanently cure you. It destroys and removes the cause of disease so effectually that it never returns. The gradual increase in the size of American hailstones has been one of the phenomena for this year. A few weeks ago, down in Texas, they were produced the bierness of a Inn's egg; a littla later Petersburg ha<* them of of size of a man's fist; now Dubuque claims the championship with hail stones, 'some as large as saucers, the greater part being about the size of an orange.' Before conceding the pre tensions. of lowa city, other towns which have bad their windows broken and their inhabitants knocked down by hail will probably point out that oranges are of different sizes, and for that matter, so are saucers.

But no one despises Kidney-Wort after giving it a trial. Those that have used it agree that it is by far the best remedy known. Its action is prompt, thorough and lasting. Don't take pills, and other mercurials that poison the system, but by using Kidney- Wort restore the natural action of all the organs. The claim that the moon has no at mosphere will attract lowa emigration in that direction. An atmosphero that develops into cyclones at a moment's notice can be dispensed with after a trial or so.
