JOHN A. HAMILTON,
oct 0?Uta Court House Store.
[From tbe New York World.]
From the Frozen Seas.
Captain C. F. Hall, the returned Arc
tie Explorer, laat night, at a late hour,
paid a visit, with a friond, to the edito
rial moms of the World. The following
particulars of the conversation which
took place at the tinie caunot but inte
rest our readers, and will supplement the
report of his explorations which Captain
Hull has made to Mr. Henry Griuncll,
of this city, aud will soon be ready for
publication.
Captain Hall is a good specimen ot a
manly, hardy and unpretentious sailor,
who talks in a simple, straightforward
manner of his experience, and makes
light of having spent about fivo years
within the frozen circle of the arctic
zone.. He looks stout and hearty, and
apparently uoue tire worse for his rough
experience. It may seem strange, after ;
such a hing absence, that he is eager to j
return to the scene of his adventures :
yet he expresses strong hopes to start
next year on an expedition in search of 1
the North Pole.
HIS COMPANIONS.
He is accompanied by three Esqui
maux, a husbund with his wife aud
adopted child, who bear the English
Uiimea of Joo. Hannah aud Silvia. They
understand our language, having visited
this country at the time Captain Hall
was last here, and are pleasant uud intel
ligent looking persons. They are low
browed, small eyed, thick-set, with
straight hair aud chubby, ungraceful
forms, characteristic of their race, aud
quite different from our idea of beauty.
They resemble somewhat the lower class
of German und Irish emigrants, and are
a little like the Chinese in appearance.
They enjoy civilized life very much, and
are quite pleased to make a second visit
to the United Stute?. 1 he climate is
rather uttsuited to their constitutions und
usu ilvuiode of life, but they soon get ac
customed to it.
HIS JOURNAL.
Captain Hull bus a number of curiosi
ties with hi in, one of the most interest
ing of which is his journal, a large blank
book, full of uotcs hastily written with
lead pencil at all times and pluees, aud
often under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances. Its pages contain the re
cord of many weary days of hardship
and suffering, aud accounts of moving
incidents by flood and lield, such as are
larcly to be met with. In order to pre
vent the writing from being blurred, the
pages have been dipped in a preparation
of glue uiade from fishes, so that it re
tains a stinky fecliug
LIFE UP NORTH.
The Captain gave a vivid description
of his experience within the Arctic cir
cle, aud his lite among the Esquimaux.
The largest body of the latter he ever
saw collected together was only 125.
This was at a little village near Hcpulse
Ha}', aud was a ruther unusual circum
stance. The solitary nature of tho life
led by the explorers may therefore be
imagined. All alone in tho irosen waste,
with hardly a living thing to be met
with ; living like moles, in underground
houses, with dogs and Esquimaux, so
huddled together that the human'could
scarcely be distinguished from tho brute;
shut out from all intercourse with the
outer world, excepting the scraps of oews
brought by passing whale ships; such an
existence only varied by occasional expe
ditions into the interior on sledges drawn
by dogs, can hardly be eallud endurable
let al..nc pleasant. Yet Captain Hall
did not complain of the lifo.
now nc LIKED IT.
After his arrival there he found, as
did ulso his Esquimaux companions who
had visited this count rj' with him, thut
it was rather hard at In : to return to
their old habits, but in time he got uc
customcd to it.
'?Did you eat raw meat, Captain V
"Oh, yes, most of the time. We
sometimes had it cooked, but usually
liked it better raw. You've no idea how
good it is that way. In fact, tor that
c tUlitry raw meat is almost indispensable,
though 1 don't think it would do in this
climate."
Is it true that the Esquimaux like it
IkjsI when it is tainted V
??Yea,and the more so the better
\\ en meat has ju-t been killed, and is
ir vli, it isn't near us g i ?1 but when it
ius ,.nt to smelt quite bail, aud especial
ly alter ii h'?s bcci frozen, thcu it tastes
a groat d< al hotter."
"Are not the Esquimaux a very dirty
people ?"
?'Well, yes, it must be admitted they
are?but their mode of life has much to
dn with this. They have great trouble
to get water enough to drink except by
tho sea shore, and the means of preserv
ing cleanliness nre limited."
"How do you find tho chnugc in this
country affects you 1"
"Oh ! very much ! I'm all upset and
can scarcely do anything steadily. The
food is so different, and there is so much
noise everywhere, and I Icol the change
in the air greatly. It is very close and
hot here. Why, wheu I first got on
ship-hoard to come homo, nfter being so
much iu the open air, I could hardly
sleep at night, and I find it hard to do so
now."
"What do you think caused the loss of
Sir John Franklin's company ?"
"Treachery, sir. They were deserted
by tho natives, and left without fresh
provisions or hum us of getting them. Hut
for this some of them might have been
saved."
"What in the result of your researches
in relation to Franklin ?"
"Briefly this : Wo have settled beyond
a doubt that Frauklin actually discovered
tho Northwestern passage. Ou his pre
vious voyages he had sailed eastward as
far as Cupe Horschell, and now we have
shown that be reached the same point
going westward and thus completed the
chain of communication. To him, there
fore, belongs tho honor of having made
the discovery, though Captain McClurc
has received the- reward offered by the
British government to the person who
should succeed in the effort."
"Are you satisfied with the result?"
"Well, yes; considering bow much we
did, it is usi-less to think of how much
more might have been accomplished. If
the Esquimaux, who went with me, bad
not been so timid, or if I bad hud u body
j of resolute white men to back me, 1
j think 1 might have gone ou. We were
lucky enough to meet with ami capture
a herd of seventy-nine musk oxen and
seventeen reindeer, which would have
been provision for a mouth, and would
have allowed us to explore much further,
but the Esquimaux were afraid of some
hostile tribes of natives iu the vicinity,
and absolutely refused to go on."
"Did you have any groat obstacle to
contend with ?"
'?Yes; during the first three years we
suffered a good deal, but afterward* bad
not so much trouble."
"Were your compasses at all affected
by your proximity to the North Pole?"
"Yes, so much so thai at one time
they were useless ; at one place the vari
ation was over ninety degrees."
',How about the long seasons of dark
ness?"
"Those we were fortunate in avoit
fey wintering within the Hue where]
sun's rays are visible all the time."
"Why cannot steam bo used for u|
exploration '("
"So it oan. There are large suj
of coal on the went coast of (J reeu]
aud I think that with steam the
Northwest passage might be made|
single Bcusoti."
"Do you think leading such a sol
life has any tendency to bring men'
to tli-c savage state ?"
"Well, I hardly know?though tlnj
thought did strike mo once or twice.
For a man who is food of society, u is a
terrible existence, but ignorant men bear
it pretty well.
what's the NEWS ?
Naturally, after a five years' absence,
during which he bad been almost en
tirely cut off from the world, Captain
Hull was eager to learn what bud iru-um
pired during the interval. The comple
tion of the Pacific Huilroud. new Atlan

New York Fashions.
November, 18C9.
The city at this season is exceedingly
gay. The streets are kalaidcscopic with
hurryiug crowds in newest habiliments
of brightest colors. Never before did
color seem to be used to such advantage.
Wo no longer see the patch-work looking
toilettes ol" many tints, but good service
able looking self-colored suits, trimmed
with material of different texture but tlie
same color. Besides the suit proper?
which may be of silk or velvet or cloth
or satiu?plaid shawls or burnous are
worn, or striped burnous, or showier still,
burnous of self-colored cloth, heavily
embroidered. One of the latter recently
ordered by Mile.-* the distinguished
Prima Donna, was of bright scarlet cloth
of the finest texture: it was so shaped
that it answered for a mantle with a hat.
in which state it was suitable for pro
menade, or without a hat it formed a
mantle and hood suitable tor carriage
wear, for the rpera or as a Mtrtic. du bid.
The mantilla ends of the fronts were
made long enough to cross on the breast
and tie in a loose knot behind; all around
the edges, on the ?Shoulders, tho cuds,
und the hood piece wure heavily em
broidered in floral -pattern, in varied
colored silk, on the Grover & Baker
Machine, and the cuds were finished
with tassels to match. We knvu fre
quently mentioned this machine in des
cribing fashionable attire, for in the
matter of embroidery, and stitching bias
seams?aud this is an age ol slopes and
sea'us and gores?it is the only machine
that can accomplish thnn perfectly.
Another style of wrap?tlie Red Jacket,
very popular now?owes all its beauty to
the work of this machine; the material
is simply red opera-flannel, but by being
worked in floral or (Ireek patterns in
black or white silk the most admirable
elects are obtained. The jackets are
worn by school girls principally. Oina
or two of them, aud a waterproof cape for
rainy days, are deemed indispensable by
fond and fashionable mammas. For full
dress promenade costume-, satin will be
much worn; as trimming, this material
is going out, velvet taking the place it
had last season in popular favor. A
beautiful walking suit of blue satin of a
bright shade has been completed for a
young bride; it was trimmed with bauds
of English squirrel skin. these were
arranged around the tunic aud around
the pointed busqu??a collarette aud
cuffs of the same accompanied it?the
gloves were of bright blue kid, the exact
shade of the satin. The bridal traveling
dress w;ts of grey s.din faced cloth band
ed with heavy grey plush ut the same
shade. A dinner dress was of a grey

is that of trimming dresses of one mater

thus a purple silk is trimmed to the waist
with narrow ruflics of black pinked sill,

is bluck silk flounced with greuadiue,
four flounces with their depth between
each. The flounces were finished with
two rows of sewing-machine stitching.

No titan grows to be a perfect Christian
by lying on the lied of sloth. Our man*

soldier grows into the veteran amidst tho
smoke of battle. Sailors learn not their
craft on dry land, aud Christian men
can never be educated so that the whole
of their spiritual manhood can bo
developed by merely listening to sermons,
or witnessing the holy example of others.

Hoos Want Sulphur.?Whether
bogs require sulphur as essential to their
health, or whether it is sought by them
as a condiment may not be known for
certainty. But one thing is sum. they
?l. vour it with greed whenever it is to be
found. It is for this purpose, probably,
that they oat large quantities of soft
con), which contain a 'arge amount of
sulphur. Perhaps this is tho most
economical method id' supplying bogs
with sulphur during the winter, when
they require a good deal of carbon. But
iu the summer, it is better to feed it to
thetn in substances which contain less
carbon, ou account of their producing
less heart. Mustard is ono of tho best
things tor this purpose, and on that
account souto. of it should be sown in
every pasture into which hogs aio turned.
If hogs are kept in pens, or arc in small
yards, it is well to supply them with the
wild mustatd that grown in the fields or
highways, or to cultivate some of the bet
ter varieties for the iii. They will eats its

The world-renowned Rothschilds as
cribe their success to the following rules :
He on hand ; make a bargain at once.
Never have anything to do with an un
lucky man or plan. Be cautious aud
bold.
David Ricardo, the celebrated politi
cal economist, had what he called his
own three golden rules, the observance
of which he used to press on 1^ friends.
They were: Never refuse an opinion
when you can get it. Cut short your
losses. Let your profits run on.
John Jacob Astor, when requested tu
furnish incidents of his life, replied^
"my actions must make my life."
Stephen Girard's fundamental maxim
was. "fake care of the cents, tho dollars
will take care of themselves."
Robert Bonner, who made a.fortune in
four years out of the New York Ledger,
attributes his success entirely to his
'?persistent, repeated and gencr us adver
tising."
Amos Luwrouco said, wheu asked for
advice : ''Young man, base all your ac

your integrity of character, and in doing
this never reckon the cost."
"Many a man has lust being a great

John Frocdley's never-varying .motto
was : "Self-dependence aud self-reli

except upon their own heads and hands

Nicholas Longworth, tho Cincinnati
