[From tbe Now York World.]
From the Frozen Seas.
Captain C. F. Hall, tho returned Arc
tic Explorer, last night, at a late hour,
paid a visit, with a friend, to the edito
rial rooms of the WvrUL The following
particulars of the conversation which
took place at the time caunot but inte
rest our readers, aud will supplement the
report of his explorations which Captain
Hall has made to Mr. Henry Grinncll,
of this city, aud will soon bo ready for
publication.
Captain Hall is a good specimen of 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 none the worse for his rough
experience. It may seem strange, after
such a long abscuco, that he is eager to
return to the scene of his adventures ;
yet he expresses strong hopes to start
next year ou an expedition in search of
the North Polo.
HIS COMPANIONS.
He is accompanied by three Esqui
maux, a husband with his wifo and
adopted child, who bear the English
uames of Joo. Hannah and Silvia. They
understand our language, having visited
this country at the time Captain Hall
w is last here, and uro pleasant aud intel
ligent looking pers ms. They are low
browed, small eyed, thick-set, with
straight hair and chubby, ungraceful
forms, characteristic of their race, and
quite different from our idea of beauty.
They resemble somewhat the lower class
of German and Irish emigrants, and arc
a little like the Chinese iu appearance.
They enjoy civilized life very much, and
are. quite pleased to uiukc a second visit
to the United Stales. '1 be climate is
rather uusuited to their constitutum? aud
nsn ilvumde of life, but they soon get ac
customed to it.
IIIS JOURNAL.
Captain Hall has a number of curiosi
ties with him, one of tbe :?: /st interest
ing of which is his journal, a large blank
book, full of notes hastily written with
lead pencil at all times and places, 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 Geld, such as arc
tardy to be met with. In order to pre
vent the writing from being blurred, tho
pages have becu dipped in u preparation
of glue made from fishus, so that it re
tains a sticky feeling
LIKE UP NORTH.
The Captain gave a vivid description
of his experience wit hin 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 Repulse
Bay. and was a rather unusual circum
stance. Th' solitary nuture of the life
led by the explorers may therefore be
imagined. All alone in tho irozeu 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 huniaii'could
scarcely be distinguished from the brute;
shut out from all intercourse with the
outer world, excepting tbe scraps of news
brought by passing whale ships; such an
existence only varied by occasional expe
ditions into tbe interior on sledges drawu
by dogs, can hardly be called endurable,
let alone pleasant. Yet Captain Hall
did not complain of tho lifo.
1IOW I1E LIKED IT.
After his arrival there he found, as
did ulso his Esquimaux companions who
had visited this country with him, that
it was rather hard at first to return to
their old habits, but iu time he got ac
customed to it.
"Did you cat raw meat, Captain V
"Oh, yes, most of the time. We
Sometimes had it unoked, but usually
liked it better raw. You've no idea how
good it is that way. In fact, lor that
i lUlltry raw meat is almost indispensable,
'bough. 1 don't think it would do iu this
climate."
? Is it true that tbe Esquimaux like it
host when it is tainted?"
Y< s. and the more so the better.
\\ it'll went has ju>t been killed, and is I
ir ,-b, it isn't near as good but when it
as got to smelt quite bad, aud especial
ly niter ?< h .s bcc-i frozen, then it tastes
a grout d- al hotter."
"Are not the Esquimaux a very dirty
people V
"Well, yes, it must be admitted they
avc?but their mode of lifo has much to
dn with this. They have great trouble
to get water enough to drink except by
the sea shore, and the means of preserv
ing cleanliness ore limited."
''How do you find the change in this
country affects you ?"
"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, uud I tcel the chunge
in tho air greatly. It is very close and
hot here. Why, wheu I first got on
ship-hoard to come home, after being so
much iu the open air, I could hardly
sleep at night, nud 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 the uatives, and left without fresh
provisions or means of getting them. But
for this some of them might have been
saved."
"What is the r?-sult of your researches
in relation to Franklin ?"
"Briefly this : We have settled beyond
a doubt that Franklin actually discovered
the Northwestern passage. Ou his pre
vious voyages he had sailed eastward as
far as Cape H?rschel!, and now we have
shown that he rouched the same point
going westward and thus completed the
chain of communication. To him, there
fore, belongs the honor of haying made
the discovery, though Captain McClurc
has received the reward offered by the
British government to the persou who
should succeed in the effort."
"Are you satisfied with the result ?"
"Well, yes ; considering how much we
did, it is useless to think of how much
more might have been accomplished. if
the Esquimaux, who went with me, had
not ben so timid, or if I hud had a body
of resolute white men to back me, 1
think I might have gone ou. We were
lucky enough to meet with and capture
a herd of seventy-nine musk oxen and
seveutceu reindeer, which would have
been provision for a month, and would
have allowed us to explore much further,
but the Esquimaux were afraid of some
hostile tribes of uatives iu the vicinity,
and absolulel}' refused to go on."
"Did you have any great obstacle to
contend with V
'?Yes; during the first three years we
suffered a good deal, but afterwards had
not so much trouble."
"Were your compasses at all affected
by your proximity to the North Pule!'"'
"Yes, so much s-> that at one time
they were useless ; at one place the vari
ation was over ninety degrees."
(,Uow about the long seasons of dark
ness T*
"Those we were fortunate in avuit
by wiotering within the Hue where|
sun's rays are visible all the time."
"Why cannot steam be used for a|
exploration V1
"So it can. There are large surj
of coal on the west coast of (jlreenj
and I think that with steam the
Northwest passage might be made|
single season."
"Do you think leading such a sol
life has any tendency to bring men'
to the suvage state?"
"Well, I hardly know?though the
thought did strike me once or twice.
For a man who is fund of society, it is a
terrible existence, but ignorant men bear
it pretty well.
what's the news ?
Naturally, after a livo years' abscuce,
during which he had been almost en
tirely cut off from the world, Captain
Hull was euger to learn what had trans
pired during the interval. The comple
tion ot the Pacific Railroad, new Atlan
tic cable, and other events of like impor
tance, were utterly unknown to him, ; nd
were listeucd to with us greedy oars as
Llesdedetuoua fiuve to Othello's love tale.

New York Knsltions.
November. 18(39.
The city at thin Bcason is exceedingly
gay. The streets are kalaidcscopic with
hurrying crowds in ncweHt habiliments
of brightest colors. Never before did
color seem to be used to ?uch advantage.
Wo no longer see the patch-work looking
toilettes of many tint;*, but good service
able-looking self-colored suits, trimmed j
with material ot different texture but the
same color. Besides the suit proper?
which muy be of silk or velvet or cloth
or sutiu?plaid shawls or burnous arc
worn, or st riped baruous, or showier Still,
burnous of self-colered cloth, heavily
embroidered. One of the latter recently
ordered by Mile.-1 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 hut.
in which state it was suitable for pro
menade, or without a hat it formed a
mantle and hood suitable for carriage
wear, for the opera or aa a tutrtie du lud.
The mantilla ends of the fronts were
made long enough to cross on the breast
and tie in a loose k not behind ; all around
the edges, on the "shoulders, the cuds,
and the hood piece ware heavily em
broidered in floral pattern, iu varied
colored silk, on the (Jrover A Baker
Machine, and the euds were finished
with tassels to match. We kave fre
quently mentioned this machine in dos
! cribing fashionable attire, for in the
1 matter of embroidery, and stitching bias
I seams?and this is an age ol slopes and
hcauis and gores?it is the only machine
that cau accomplish .{.hem perfectly.
Another style of wrap?the Red .lacket,
very popular now?owes all its beauty to
the work of this machine; the material
is simply red opera-flannel, but by being
worked iu floral or (Ircek patterns in
black or white silk the most admirable
elects are obtained. The jackets ate
worn by school girls principally. Oim
or two of them, and a watei proof cape for
rainy day--, are deemed indispensable by
loud and fashionable mammas. For full
dress promenade costume-, satin will be
much worn; as tri in mi ug, this mat. rial
is going out, velvet taking the place it
had last season iu popular favor. A
beautiful walking suit of blue satin of a
bright shade bus been completed for a
young bride; it was trimmed with bauds
of English squirrel skin, these were
arranged around the tunic and around
the pointed basqm-a collarette and
cuffs of the same accompanied it?the
gloves were cd'bright bluu kid, the exact
shade of the satin. Tho bridal traveling
dress was uf grey satin-faced cloth bund
ed with heavy grey plush ut the same
shade. A dinner dress was of u grey

suit
jqucs
style
is that of trimming dresses of one mater

thus a purple silk is trimmed to the waist
with narrow ruffles of black pinked silk,
the dress shows only on tbe waist and
sleeves aud between the ruffles. Auditor
is black silk flounced with grenadine,
four flounces with their depth between
each. The flounces were finished with
two rows of sewing-machine stitching.
Bias plaid flounces cut in the points
indicated by the plaid are very new, and
when the plaids are blight like tbe Rob
Roy, the Stuart, the Victoria, are also
very effective on the browns und greys
and blacks, which are always iu fashion.
A scarf of the same folded across the
breast is a great improvement, as it iu -
parts the suit air so much desired to the
costume. The proper head gear for this

Hogs Want Sulphur.?Whether
hogs require sulphur as essential to their
health, or whether it is sought by them
as a condiment may not he known for
certainty. But one thing is sure, they
devour it with greed w heuever it is to be
found. It is for this purpose, probably,
that they eat large quantities of soft
coal, which contain a large amount of
sulphur. Perhaps this is the most
economical nut hod of supplying hogs
with sulphur during the winter, when
they rcquiroa good deal of carbon. But
in the summer, it is better to feed it to
them in substances which contain less
carbon, on account of their producing
less heart. Mustard is odo of the best
things lor this purpose, and on that
account some ul it should be sown in
every pasture into which hogs me turned.
If hogs are kept iu j ens, or are in small
yards, it is well to supply them with the
wild uiustatd that grows in the fields or
highways, or to cultivate some of the bet
ter varieties for them. They will eats its
