TfIK N£l<;iinOKHOOI> OF POINT RtH. HOW AM DKNCKIHKO BY LY. HAY’S PARTY. A Primitive l.*t #1 ladtnn. tlablla—Uanest- > -Their Ways and Bablea. The Ooglaamiemenns are the tribe of native* in the immediate vicinity of where Lt. Kay’s Signal Service station was at Ooglaaraie. The tribe consists of 130 sonls. A few miles distant is another tribe, called the Noqwookmeans, num bering 140 people, bat the relations ex isting Ixitween the two are not so har monicas as one would be led to believe was doe to neighbom where aoijaaint- ances are so few. There have not been any open outbreaks befween the tribes, and they often mingled together near the station, but each eyed the other sns- piciously, and the members of the two triltes were oliserved to breathe more freely when they were surrounded only by their own people. Neither tribe holds allegiance to any chief or raler. No congresses or legislatures have as yet broken in upon the rude mode of living. They are anarchists in the full sense of the word. £ach man is bis own chief and, atraDgcoA it may seem, Lieutenant Ray pronounces them the best governed and happiest people in the world. There appears to be no clash ing of interests among them, and no bnlly has ever yet oome to the front and bnlldosed the tribe by asserting that might made right. Fighting and quar relling are unknown. Ray says he never saw a child punished in any form, and yet he reports the children as well be haved, modest and honest As high as twenty-five children have visited the station at one time, and their deport ment would be such that he could not help but notice the striking contrast be tween them and the children who had all the advantages of civilization. How ever small the child might lie it never intruded itself into nuivited places. No matter how many tools, articles of cloth ing or provisions were scattered around, the Lieutenant never saw them touch a thing, much less to try to appropriate or steal them. If anything was given a child it showed its appreciation thereat, sometimes in words bat more often in smiles, and by informing its playfellows that he or she bad been shown especial favors by the great white Captain. The only blow Ray ever spw struck in these trilics was by a husband, who boxed his wife’s ears for snpposed infidelity. HABITS AND CUSTOMS. Thieving is seldom known among the men or women of the tribes, and when it does occur there is no punishment for the crime. The thief makes ho secret of his act, and will deliberately expose the article taken to the whole tribe in a few minutes after appropriating it to his own use. The petty thief will take a hatchet from its owner, and in half an hoar loan it to him to do some work,and the owner ia in honor bound to return it to the scamp who atole it. A case in point is aa follows: One of the tribe stole a tent from another one. He “pitched” the tent a few min- ntea later, and in half an hoar had aa his guest. or dinner tbe original owner. The owner knew the tent, and yet came with in its folds and partook of the hospitality of the thief. Possession appears to be 'nine points of law with them. A police coart would soon become bankrupt there. Neither tribe appears to have any marriage ceremony. If the ana is willing and the woman also, then ia no legal impediment and the twain are aa one. There is bat little funeral cere mony. When a male dies his body ia aewed up ia canvas or a dear akin, placed on a sledge and moved oat oo the tundra, where it remaina. The deceased’s effects are all broken op over tba body. If a woman dim tbe only change in form of burial is in simply breaking a bowl over the body. Having no implements to penetrate the hard frozen ground and there being a scarcity of lumber where with to build oachea, the above manner of diepoeing of their dead seema to be the only practicable way. Many pereoua ham acomed these tribes of having no feeling for their dead, not stopping to , consider the difficulties attrtonnding tbam and tha ahaosft impoaaibtlity of giv fog them decent sepulture. Bay says the memory of the deceased is ever cherished with the kindliest feelings, and when they speak of the departed it is with a reverence and charity not surpassed by ~ thg white raoe. XATrm ter TRIOR. The Oogfoamiemenna and Noowook- have a god of fire, cam of water and of almost everything else, even a god ef the north wind, and so on for foe eight principal points of foe compass. These gods they often snpplicate for assistance, and should the prayer be beard it is all right, bat should the prayer be nnaiy.- swered in their atnpliaity they merely ionsidev the god angry or too bosy to attend to their present wants. At one time one of these pow-wows (or prayer meetings) was in program, the object be ing to have foa god of the east wind drive away the ice pack that they might hunt for seal, when Idea tenant Bay called one of the old men of the tribe to him and, marking the outlines of the Asiatic coast npon the sand, told foe Inna (for saoh they call themselves) that across the great water was a larger body of land and many,'many mote people than the Ooglaamiemenns had; that these people also wanted seal, and foe god of the west wind was providing for them, as they had undoubtedly prayed harder to have their wants supplied. The Inna was satisfied when informed by Ray that he had been there and seen this large body of people. Tbe Inna departed to where his people were in such S sober manner that it showed be was deeply impressed with the Lieuten ant’s words. Soon the tribe were seen to go to a higher elevation and there the pow-wow commenced with redoubled fury. The ceremony was kept up until late in the day and that evening an east wind prevailed and broke op the pack. The next day the old Inna called upon Ray, and with the solemnity of a Quaker, said:—“I told you we could outpray those fellows on the other aide I” When they go for a whale or during the time the flesh of that animal is on hand, seal, walrus, reindeer hunting and so on must l>e entirely abandoned by all the rela tives of the participants in the first hunt This same superstition la also found among the Esquimaux on the other side of the continent. Boys are thought more of than girls, yet both sexes are ao scarce that when a couple is blessed with more than one child the children are distributed around to the other families who are childless. A child is considered a great blessing among them, and is thought more of than anything else which they possess. PECULIARITIES OP LIVING. As a rale these natives do not eat blubber. When provisions become scarce thev will eat it, but never by it self. The same can be said of oil. A food is prepared in a large wooden liowl, consisting of a little seal oil and tallow beaten together to the consist ency of thick cream. Boiled deer meat is then stirred in by a woman with her naked hand until it lie comes like pem- mioan. This ia thier chief traveling food, and is always used when a journey is to be performed. No part of the ani mal is allowed to go to waste. Even the bones, after being picked bare, are pounded up and boiled and the marrow extracted for pemmican food. Ray says it is a common occurrence for them to take a little seal oil and thoronghly mix it with reindeer droppings, and eat it with an apparent relish. They crave vegetables, and would always carefully gather up the potato peelings around the station, boil them and consider they had dined like a king. When traveling they eat bat one meal a day. When they arise in the morning they start on their journey without breakfast, will travel all day, and when they strike camp at night will gorge themselves and go to bed. They have no sleeping sacks or deerskins. When the igloo Ts built and the slab of snow oat oat upon which they are to rest, a tanned walrus hide is thrown over the cold slab and they lie down in the clothes in which they have traveled all day. FONDNESS FOB TOBACCO AMD WHISIT. They are crazy after tobacco and will do almost anything to obtain it The blacker the tobacco and the more adul terated it is the better the Innas like it The common natural leaf brands and the fine-cuts are not as eagerly sought after ss the “black Jack," with its copperas taste. They get tbe full value of the tobacco in chewing, end, after foe “cud” has yielded its richness it in cere- folly tucked behind the ear for some future oooeeion, the native, no doubt fearing that a “corner” ia the article might take place. So insatiable are their appetites in this respect that they would often oome to the station and crave the privilege of cleaning out the men’s pipes of their refuse scrape the inside of the bowl and stem of nicotine and, mixing the ashes and other debris together, take it into the month and ab solutely ent it Tobeeeo spysese to have no effect upon their systems, unless it is to strengthen them, for after one of their feasts upon tbs weed the to have mors vitality and seem far hap pier. Even children and infants to take to it psturally. Bay says he km seen a babe three months old taken from its mother’s breast, its month filled with tobacco, and the infant would suckle away at the weed, with mate en joyment than if it had its imtnrnl food, until it fell asleep. They am literally tobacco eaters. The seme may be said about whisky. Tbe more fiery it is in iW' UsU the harder they will strive to obtain it The finer brands are not •outfit after, but one good drink of old’“tangle foot,” which contains equal parts of h their high-toned drink, sod foe native’s idea of pure Utas is a bottle of alcohol sod a plug of “Uadi Jack.” It is impossible to get these people to travel with yen in foe long Arctic night They will not have their huts as long as the sun hr below the horinon. They are sumption is unknown among them. There are no traees of lingering sickness or hereditary disease, and the people are mostly affected by bronchial ailments, caused by sadden exposure. Their snow huts are of the Hudson Bay region, being shaped more like a tent Bay says he hss slept in one of these '‘igloos” when it was so crowded end poorly ventilated that his cooking lamp refused to burn, yet in the morning he felt well and was prepared for a long journey. FLOWERS BLOOMING AMID THE SNOWS. As far north as this station was it wss not without its signs of civilisation in ths spring and summer. The old-fashioned dandelion was found here in abandonee, about the same in aise and ss strong in growth as in the Eastern States. Several species of the saxafrage grow in that re gion, and the little buttercup is a com mon thing. The latter has been found in bloom in early spring, the plant being in some favored place where the sun reached it and where projection of snow protected it from the cold wind. A bine- bell similar to our own grows on tbs low lauds, while several species of poppies are found, ths most prominent of which is a small yellow variety. This puppy blossoms and fades quickly, sod while the flower is passing away a small yellow butterfly frequents the bloom and feeds therein. Tbs Indians believe the poppy changes into the butterfly, and hence both are called “Incky-tuoky-Jackson.” A small Arctic willow grows under the surface of the moss, and one shrub will sometimes cover an area of several rods. No grass can be found, except along the seashore, where a small, coarse, wiry species is found. Meade River is sixty miles from the station, and there we find a small,scraggy willow about four feet high. This river is tortuous, about two hundred yards wide at its mouth and flows northeasterly into the Arctic Ooaan. Ten miles further on is the Ick-piok-pong River (the river of big cliffs) and the same willow is found there. In both of these rivers whitefiah, trout and a few salmon trout are found. Large game is seldom seen in that local ity. Occasionally s stray deer wanders there. Ray says he does not believe the ground cariboo deer is ever found north of latitude 70 degrees. The large gray (or white) wolf is seen at intervals, and the white fox ia ionnd early in winter, bat ss the weather becomes more severs entirely disappears. Only five polar bears have been killed in that neighbor hood in two years. Ray saw but one daring his stay there. The black end red fox do not inhabit that region, bat foe natives have their skins, which are brought from ths south. •bps or tub mom zone. Of the eider duck there are five species—ths Pacific, king, spectacle, old squaw and stellar 1 s elder. The brant, white-fronted and Arctic gouse frequent this locality. The Canada goose hss been seen about one hundred miles farther south sod west. These and other birds migrate northward at a defi nite time each year. In 1882 they appeared on foe 12th of May, and in 1888 they came one day later. In their flight they draw across tho American continent, and it is Bay’s opinion that they go to Prince Patrick’s Land. Bay also believes there is no habitable land due north for man, beast or fowl, as than is no migration in that direction in ths spring, nor do the birds retain from due north in the fall Birds re turn in July in small flocks passing south, although foe king and Pacific re mained near the Point as long as there was open water. A few straggling geese and ducks built their hatcheries near ths Point, along the seashore, and in less than six weeks from ths time the bird is hatched out it is strong enough to fly southward with foe eider oms. Of the small waders ths fallaroms and sand pipers hatch in immense numbers on foe mainland, coming in May and leaving about tin 1st of September, and all de parting at oooa. The aeon—the small Aretis diver—remains longer then any other bird. They have been frequently eaught in the breathing holm oi the seal in November. Then an three species of the loon—ths great North diver, the red throat and ths black throat The little snow banting comes early in April, a forerunner of spring. Bay describes this bird with a note like s skylark single bar—and foe bird towers when it sings. It is the only place he ever heard them ring so sweetly. A few crane of the Rfchsrdaou spseies are found here, and several species of the seagull—foe burgomaster, ivory, and bios wing, several specks of tbe tern and skewers, sabines, and rose gull. The large, white Arctic .owl was found, but few in number. The owl is a wary bird, and seen in that region aa well by day as by night, and oonsequently was the most difficult to capture. Lemmings were also found in goodly numbers, but the marmot .was very scarce.

The misty mass is described as of a light- bluish tint, forming a zone extending from the horizon toward the senith about 15 degrees. Within the radius of s mile the water was inky black.

A great sensation was caused in Tor onto by foe dioovery of a number of cartridges of dynamite secreted under foe Parliament buildings wherwisssiora the seed, of the Ontario Legislature are held. A son of one of the caretakers, Willie Mac donald, was playing around tbe weetern end of the building in whieh is situated the Crown Lands Office, containing all Ancimaglf ^hgHiiSbfai Of tfe meat from the earlteel settlement of the province). In a ventilator under the window lighting the office of the Ooea- misskmer of Crown Lands, he saw a roll of paper containing two dynamite eer- ef foe mo# powerful kind. A sere attached, and there is not the slightest doubt that they were ready for explosion at very short notice, should the desired opportunity occur. The mingled consternation and excite ment, as may be judged, was great in the extreme, and word was immediately passed aronnd the buildings to make a oareful examination. Under the cham ber of the Speaker of the Legislature were discovered similar cartridges con taining dynamite. Preparations had here been made for attachment, which lay a short distance from the cartridges, thus demonstrating that the miscreants had been disturbed in their foqj purpose and compelled suddenly to abandon it Had the conspiracy trial been in progress foe Speaker would doubtless have occu pied bis chambers, and the attempt has therefore s dreadful as well as peculiar significance. The safe containing the records of the Registrar General’s de partment is in close proximity to the place where the destructive agent was discovered, and this famishes additional incentives to perpetrate the outrage. The officials at Parliament Buildings say that they have not seen any sus picious characters about the buddings. The cartridges, however, must have been placed in foe ventilators lately, else they would hsve been discovered before. The cartridges found are about six inches long by an inch and a half in di ameter, and weigh between a quarter and hall s pound. They are called JStna Na 2, and are manufactured by the AStna Powder Company, of Chicago. Across foe end of the shell of eneh car tridge is printed hi large type, “forty per cent;” this doubtless, being foe pro portion of nitro-glyoerine. The shells appeared to have been newly oiled, es if to keep out foe moisture. There te enough in any one of these cartridges to blow up either foe east or the west wiag of Parliament Buildings. A piece of fuse, about two yards hi length, was found by the gardener lying on the lawn in the neighborhood where foe cartridges were afterward discovered. The gardener was at work with hie lawn mower when be picked up tbe fuse, and, not knowing its use, he thought it had fallen from a window above, end it therefore excited no cariosity in his mind. Another piece of fuse was found under the steps near far- I A good deal te plowing, but Httle hi regard to big. Bnt harrowing te portant than plowing.

A novel sight was witnessed at foe Union Depot, Milwaukee, a few days ago. There arrived on an early morning Chicago train an immigrant family from Denmark, consisting of husband, wife and fifteen children. When they alighted from the can the man and wo man each carried in their arms aa in fant, and were followed into the depot by the remainder of foe numerous fam ily. The thirteen children were all joined together by a small-sized rope, which was fastened around the arm of each child. They were tied together in Denmark, and in this manner foe long journey was made. The strangers re mained at the depot until afternoon, when they departed for Minnesota, where they will settle hpon e farm. All were comfortably clothed, and the happy father appeared to tie well ruppMiil with money. The father and- mother ware apparently about forty-five yean of ego. The visitors attracted oonaiderable curi osity during their brief stay at the de pot only can perform, and that te, the eon- solidation of the ground to preserve it from drying out too much after it te sown. But on heavy land the soil te utterly un fit for foe seed until it has been pulver ised and made fine aa deeply ae it has been plowed. The plow turns over, the furrow alloea, at times hard and oom- paet and almost aa solid, when dry, aa stooa. It te tha purposs at foe harrow to reduce this cloddy soil to a fine con dition and to fit it for the seed. Thao are two ways of harrowing, good and had, and the bad aomoUmW appears to be better than the good work. Let mb first consider foe good work. Tbe harrow should have sharp, long teeth, and be hitched by a chain auf- floiently long to permit the harrow to bo dragged level and to avoid lifting up foa corner by whieh it te drawn. It than works its way through tha tail, diverg ing from a straight line at every obstacle met by each tooth, and te thus forced through the furrow slices in all direc tions, and quickly reduces the com pact earth into a line mellow condition. The lumps which it cannot break it brings to tbe surface and there leaves them, and te so doing it works the fine soil down to the bottom. This te very quickly done in light, sandy soil, but requires more working to effect it in herd, attfl land. When the work te done, if the soil te stiff end clayey, the surface will be covered with lumps all the harder end larger if the harrowing has been delayed until foe soil has bseoma dry, and all the smaller if it has been done on the newly plowed land. But down below the soil te fine and mellow and la good condition to receive the seed end oauee it to sprout and taka hold with its noli and maka a vigorous growth. This, however, cannot bo done with ope or two strokes of foe harrow, bnt it requirm repeated harrowing and even rowing to do it well. Bad harrowing can be quickly, as other poor work may be done. The harrow te hitched shark rod rides on a few rows of the hinder teeth. The teeth are short end blunt, and pene trates but a very little wuy Into the ground It eoratohee the soriaae and does not work its way tortuously through foenoil down to foe pottom.
