[From the New York World.] From the Frozen Seas. Captain C. F. Hall, tho returned Arc tic Explorer, last night, at a late hour, j paid a visit, with a friend, to the edito rial rooms of the WvrUl. The following j particulars of the conversation which took place at the time caunot but inte rest our readers, aud will supplement the report of his explorations w hich Captain Hull has made to Mr. Henry Grinnoll, of this city, and will soon be ready for publication. Captain Hall is a good specimon of a manly, hardy and unpretentious sailor, who talks in a simplo, straightforward manner of his experience, and makos light of having spent about five years within the frozen circle of the arctic /.one. He looks stout and hearty, and apparently none tire worse for his rough experience. It may seem strange, after j such a long absence, that he is eager to return to the scene of his adventures ; yet he expresses strong hopes to start next year on an expedition in search ot the North Pole. HIS COMPANIONS. He is accompanied by three Esqui maux, a husband with his wife and adopted child, who bear the English names of Joe, Hannah and Silvia. They understand our language, having visited this country at the time Captain Hull w is last here, and are pleasant und intel ligent looking persons. They are low browed, small eyed, thick-set, with straight hair aud chubby, ungraceful forms, characteristic of their race, und quite different from our idea of beauty. They resemble somewhat the lower class ' of German and Irish emigrants, aud urc a littb: like the Chinese iu appearance. They enjoy civilized life very much, and arc quite pleased to make a second visit to tbe United Stales. The climate is rather uusuitcd to their Constitution? and nauuKtnode of life, but they soon get ac customed to it. IIIS JOURNAL. Captain Hall has a number of curiosi ties with him, one of the most interest ing of which is his journal, u large blank book, full of notes hastily written with lead pencil at all times and pluces, aud often under the most unfavorable cir cumstances. Its pages contain the re cord of many weary days of hardship and suffering, and accounts of moving incidents by flood und field, such as ure inrely to be met with. In order to pre vent the writing from being blurred, tho pages have beeu dipped in u preparation of glue mado from fish us, so that it re tains a sticky feeling LIFE UP NORTH. The Captain gave a vivid description of his experience witbiu the Arctic cir cle, and his lite among the Esquimaux. The largest body of the latter he ever saw collected together waa only 125. This was at a little village neur Repulse Buy, und was a rather uuusuul circum stance. The solitary nature of the life led by the explorers may therefore be imagined. All alone in the frozen waste, with hardly a living thing to be met with ; living like moles, in underground houses, with dogs und Esquimaux, so huddled together that the human con 1,1 scarcely be distinguished from the brute; shut out from all iotercouoe with tbe outer world, excepting tbe scraps of news brought by passing whulc ships; such an existence only varied by occasional expe ditions into the interior on sledges drawo by dogs, can hardly be called endurable, let alone pleasant. Yet Cuptaiu Hall did not complain of the lifo. 1IOW nE LIKED IT. After his arrival there ho found, ss did also his Esquimaux companions who j had visited this country with him, that it was rather hurd at first to return to their old hubits, but iu time he got uc customcd to it, '?Bid you cat raw meat, Captain ?" "Oh, yes, most of the time. We j sometimes had it cooked, but usually liked it better raw. You've no idea bow good it is that way. In fact, for that c lUlltry caw meat is almost indispensable, though. I don't think it would do in this climate." ?Ts it true, that the Esquimaux like it best wh. n it is tainted V ??Yea, and the more so the better. \\ tu meat has ju^t been killed, and is lr<*sh, it isn't near as g,i,>d. but when it as got to smeli quite bad, and especial ly slier it bus been frozen, then it tastes a great d> at batter." "Are not the Esquimaux a very dirty people V "Well, yes, it must be admitted they arc?but their mode of life has much to do with this. They have great trouble to get water enough to drink except by the sea shore, and the mcaus of preserv- j ing cleanliness are limited." | "How do you find the change in this j country affects you V "Oh ! very much ! I'm all upset and can scarcely do unything steadily. The food is so different, and there is so much noiso everywhere, and I tcel the change in the air greatly. It is very close and hot hero. Why, when I first got on ship-board to come homo, after being so much iu the open air, I could hardly 1 sleep at night, aud I find it hard to do so now." I "What do you think caused the loss of Sir .John Franklin's company ?" "Treachery, sir. They were deserted by the natives, and left without fresh provisious or means of getting them. Hut for this some of them might have becu saved." "What is the result of your researches in relation to Franklin ?" "Briefly this : We have settled beywud a doubt that Frauklin actually discovered tho Northwestern passage. On his pre vious voyages he had sailed eastward as far as Capo Herechell, and now wc have shown that he reached the same point g'/mg westward aud thus completed tho chain of communication. To him, there fore, belongs tho honor of having made tho discovery, though Captain McClure bus received tho reward offered by tho Hritish government to tho porsou who should succeed in the effort." ilAre you satisfied with the result?" "Well, yes ; considering how much wa did, it is useless to think of how much more might have boon accomplished. If the Esquimaux, who wont with mo, had not be?Mi so timid, or if I had had a body of resolute white men to back mc, 1 think 1 might have gone ou. Wo were lucky enough to meet with aud capture a herd of seventy-nine musk oxen and seveutccu reindeer, which w<?uld have boon provision for a mouth, aud would have allowed us to explore much further, but the Esquimaux were afraid of some hostile tribes of natives in tho vicinity, and absolutely refused to go on." "Did you have any groat obstacle to couteud with ?" "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 Pole?" "Yes, so much so thai at ono time they were useless ; at one place the vari ation was over ninety degrees." ',ilow about the loug seasons of dark ness V "Those wc wore fortunate in avoit by wiutering withiu the Hue where| sun's rays are visible all tho time." "Why cannot steam bo used fur aj exploration 7" "So it oati. There are large su] of coal on the west coast of Green] aud I think that with steam the Northwest passage might be tnadcj single scusou." "Do you think leading such a snl life has any tendency to bring men' to the savage state '!" "Well, I hardly kuow?though the thought did strike mo once or twice. For a man who is fuud of society, it is a terriblo existence, but ignorant men bear it pretty well. what's the news ? Naturally, after a five years' abseuoe, during which he hud been almost en tirely cut off from the world, Oaptain Hull was euger to learn what hud trans pired during the interval.

November, 1869. Tho city at thia season is exceedingly gay. The streets arc kalaidcscopic with hurryiug crowds in newest habiliment* of brightest colors. Never before did color seem to be used to puch advantage. We no longer see the patch-work looking toilettes of many tints, but good service able-looking self-colored suits, trimmed with material of different texture but the same color. Besides the suit proper? which may be of silk or velvet or cloth j or satiu?plaid shawls or burnous arc worn, or st riped burnous, or showier still, burnous of self-colored cloth, heavily embroidered. Owe of the latter recently ordered by Mile.-1 the distinguished Priina Donna, was of bright scarlet cloth of the finest texture; it was so shaped that it answered 'or a mantle with a hat, iu which state it was suitable for pro menade, or without u hut it formed a mantle und hood suitable tor carriage wear, for the rpera or as a ?artic. Hu hui. The mantilla ends of the fronts were made long enough to cross on the breast and tic in a loose knot behind ; all around the edges, on the ?Shoulders, the ends, und tbe hood piece wwre heavily em broidered in floral pattern, in varied colored silk, on the (Jrover & Baker Machine, and the ends were finished with tassels to match. We kave fre quently mentioned this machine iu des cribing fashionable uttire, for in the matter of embroidery, and stitching Idas seams?aud this is an.age td slopes ami sca ns and gores?it is the only machine that can accomplish .(hem perfectly. Another style of wrap?the Red .Jacket, very popular now?owes ull its beauty to the work of this machine; the material is simply red opera-flannel, but by being worked iu floral or Greek patterns in bluck or white silk the most admirable elects arc obtained. The jucket? are worn by school girls principally. One. or two of them, and a watciproof cape for rainy d iy<. are deemed indispensable by loud and fashionable mammas. For full dress promenade costume-, satin will be much worn; as trimming, 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 ? bright shade bus been completed lor a young bride; it was trimmed with bauds of English squirrel skin, these acre arranged around the tunic and around the pojntod basque?a collarette and cuffs of the same accompanied it?the gloves were of bright blue kid, the exact shade of the satin. Tho bridal traveling dress was of grey satin-faced cloth bund ed with heavy grey plush ut the same shade. A dinner dress was of a grey the Halt. |silk, A lored due; le ot lack anil ser suii ques style is that of trimming dresses; of ouu mater ial w ith flounces or rouehes of uuother? thus a purple silk is trimmed to the waist with narrow ruflles of black pinked silk, the dress shows only on the waist and sleeves aud between the ruffles. Another is black silk flouuctd with grenadine, four floUnCCS with their depth between each. The flounces wen: finished with two rows of sewing-machine stitching. Bias piuid flounces cut in the points indicated by the plaid are very new. and when the plaids are bright like the Rob Roy, the Stuart, the Victoria, are also very effective on the browns and greys and blacks, which are always in fashion. A scarf of the same, folded across tho breast is u great improvement, as it iu - parts the suit air so much desired to the costume. The proper head gear for this lather. CA. surety ou U bail bond.

Educate Vut it S i t..?!i you would educate your .vy/./, you must ho active. No man grow.- tu be a perfect Christian by lying on the bed of sloth. Our man hood is developed by exercise. The soldier grows into the veteran amidst tho .-moke 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 be developed by mere!) listening to sermons, or witnessing the holy exu tuple of others. That strength which is to bo multiplied must be communicated. Tu be content with what you have done is to go hack ward; to use what you have is to make progress and tu be enriched. Onward, , then, for perfection lies ahead of you. ?a??? ? - ? nw m ii ? . lions Want Sulphur.?Whether hogs 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 sure, they devour it with greed whenever it is to be found. It i.? for this purpose, probably, that they eat large quantities of soft coal, which contain a large amount of sulphur. Perhaps this is tho most economical mot hod of supplying hogs with sulphur during the winter, when they rctjuiro n good deal of carbon, Hut in the summer, it is better to feed it to them in substances which contain less carbon, on account of their producing loss heart. Mustard ist ono ol i ho best things for this purpose, and on that account some oi it should he sown in every pasture into which hogs aic turned. If hogs are kept in pens, or arc in small yards, it is well to supply them with the wild uiustaid that grows iu the fields or highways, or to oultivute some of the bet ter varieties for them. They will eats its leaves, flowers, seeds and stalks. i'J'he South Carolina Railroad has it large gang of hands employed in cutting . down the trees in Co . ?reo swamp with I in one hundred feet of the trestle.

Leave him lying in idlcuess against tho sunny fence of prosperity, and all the good that is in him melts like butter; but kick him round and he gathers strength with every successive revolution, until he grows into an avalanche. To succeed, you must keep moving. 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- j lucky man or plan. Be cautious aud bold. David Ricardo, the celebrated politi cal economist, hud what he culled his own three golden rules, the observance (tf which he used to press on bi^s friends. They were: Never refuse an opinion whet: you can get it. Cut short your losses. Let >"ur profits run ou. John Jacob Astor, when requested to furnish incidents of his life, replied^ '?my actions must make my life." Stephen Girard's fundamental maxim was, "take care of the cents, the dollars will take care of themselves." Robert Botiner, who made a fortune in : four years out of the New York Ledger, attributes his success entirely to his "persistent, repeated and goner us adver tising." Amos Luwreuco said, when asked for advice: "Young man, base all your ac tions upon a principle of right ; preserve your integrity of character, und iu doing this never reckon tho cost." "Many a man has lost being a great man by splitting into two middling ooos.''?Phillips. John Freedley's never-varying .motto was : "Self-dependence and self-reli ance." He says: "My observations through life satisfy mo that at least niuc tenths of those most successful iu busi ness, start iu life without any reliance except upon their own beads and hands ?hoc their own row from the jump." Nicholas Lougworth, the Cincinnati millionaire, says : "I have always had two things before me; do what you un dertake thoroughly. Be faithful iu all accepted trusts." I*. T. Bnrnum, the noted exhibitor, ascribed h'u success in accumulating u million dollars in ten years, to the un limited use of?printer's ink. John Randolph slid : "Mr. Speaker. I have found the philosopher's stouc; it is, "Buy as you go.' " A. T. Stewart, merchant princo of New York, says : uNa abilities, however splendid, can command success without intense labor and persevering applica tion." "Half tbe failures in life arise from the pulling iu of one's horse us he is leaping."? Chapin. "The world estimates men by their success in life ; and, by^general consent, success is evidence of superiority*"? Utter* it. There is nothing like a fixed, steady aim, with an honorable purpose. It dignifies your nature, and insures your success ?Beechcr. A Western Temperance Lbctu liKit. ? Hilly Ross, a temperance lecturer at Rushville, 111., was preaching to the young on his favorite theme. He said : "Now. boys, when I ask you a ques tion you musu't be afraid to speak right out and answer mo. When you look around aud sen all these fine houses, farms aud cattle, do you ever think who owns them all now? Y'our fathers own them, do they not?" "Yes, sir I" shouted a hundred voices. ??Well, where will your fathers be twouty years from now ?" "Dead !" shouted the boys. "That's right. And who will own this property thon ?" "Us boys !':' shouted the urchins ' Right. Now, tell mo?did you ever, in going about tbe streets, notice the drunkards lounging around the saloon door, waiting for somebody to treat them ?" "Yen, sir, lots of thorn ?" "Well, where will they be in twouty yours from now V ? Dead !" exclaimed tho boys. "And who will bo the drunkards then ?" "Us boys S" Hilly was thuudorstruck for a raomcut, but recovering himself, tried to tell the boys how to escape such a fute. There is a "wild man" in Johuson County, Ind., who was lately seen mak ing trucks through the woods, carrying a rifle twenty two feet long. Item? op Agricultural Expk&i? knck.?1. All soils arebenefttted by be? ing under-drained, but the benefit ??? more appareut aud lasting in those of u clayey nature, or having a subsoil reten? tivc of moisture. 2. After drainage, subsoiling and good cultivation aro necessary to ensure good, crops on heavy soils. 3. Lime is tho best manure to supply strong clay soils. It renders them more pervious to light and heat, and also ?or* rccts their acidity, by combining with some of tbe chemical salts in the soil, making plant food of poison, 4. Summer fallowing is the most effi cient uud profitable means of preparing strong soils tor wheat, and for beginnt i g, a rotation, after grass has been grown for a length of time. [J Green crops plowed under, wheri in the most succulent state, are powcrfu auxiliaries in rendering a light soil fer tile, but ii this is done too often buccc-w sively, the soil becomes overcharged with carbonaceous matter. 6. Leached ashes applied in largo quantities to sandy soils, or those, con t lining too much vegetable hutuuS, Wl ? greatly ameliorate their condition, an?*, render them more compact. 7. There is no soil so poor or sterile but soino mode may bo fouud of amelior. atiug and euriching it. 8. Blowing sands may be gradual!, made productive by spreading six inch. - thick of straw over them, to remain ti l rotted.

Canada Farmer. A Royal Scapkgraoc.?Age doesn't seem to improve tho morals of the Prim. c of Wales, for almost every steamer brings over a fresh bit of scandal concerning him. Curiously enough, his immoraliti t were never displayed openly' until aft ? his marriage. Then a very handaoii. * lady in his wife's household became tl - rceipieut of the Prince's attention, which soon became so flagrant as to e.. cite the talk of all London. The scan* dal fiually came to the ears of the Queen, who caused the offender to be baaishet'. Hut this did not break up the iutiruac which continued until a fresh lover ha made the royal companionship uodesii - ble. The Prince then took to visit'n actresses and to spending money upon the . and where he had formerly one he h .< now three or four lady acquaintances. The favorite was a noted French at - ress who numbered othors besides 1 Royal Highness in her suite, and b! * the purses of thxnt all. Among hi. trophies, 6hc secured a note. ? of , h: for 850,000, signed by tbo Prince, a;. f sent it to Fugland to bo paid., l?j document not being signed by tho Con ;, trollor of the Prince's household, h?1 an aspect of ircgularity about it t)i..fc the bankers did not like, and they hesh ted before paying it. The Prince w. v abroad and could nut be referred to an 1 the story somehow got to the earc, of 1. t royal mother. There was a row, whie.i ended in the payment of the money an I a lecture from the Queen. So rhatt< ? . go on.
