AUCTIC EXPERIENCES.
SOME OF THE HORRORS ENDURED
W.: ^BY G RE ELY'S g^PEDITION.

lAent. Greeiy rarely speaks ot his Arctic
experiences. But vvlieii does a plain
wfotement of facta is ti^romy ehaiuence re-
tjnired to ctwiroy an Impre.-^ion of the/ull-
jiesa of the horrors endured by Ms party.
- Tliey lay henletl together beneath a
canvas stretched bnt three feet al>ore the
skin bags containing them. Night, starva
tion, and cold kept them company all that
‘long winter. Three men occupied each
bag. One could not turn over without the
other two shifting places also. The bags
were all frozen to the ground. Fifteen de
grees below freezing point was the maxi
mum temperature for many months.
Lieut. Lockwood should share with Greely
♦lie glory of the expedition. Obedient to
'pommand, the former was scut forward
ifcgaihst his own advice. He returned a
hero, having reached the point farthest to
the north ever attained. A frozen sea
Stretched beyond to the ice-bound horizon.
* Lieut. Harbor, of another expedition,
gives an idea of the despair that attends
men in those regions of everlasting ice. On
one oocnsiou his party had mooted their
boat to the shore. They remained in this
position for several days, hoping thus to
(escape unusual severities Qn muki;ig ob .
serrations at the end of this waiting they
found that they had been carried five
miles to the north. Their moorage was
boating ice instead of terra flrma.
f ‘ ‘ THE PBECCHSOU OF DEATH.
' "In a situation like ours lossc/ hope
means loss of Hfe,” says Lieut. Greedy.
“XYhe-n poor Ixnrkwood crawled to my bag
and whispered his despair I knew it to be
the precursor of death. It was invariably
so.” One by one they dropped off. The
«n<! seemed to be at hand for all of them,
provisions were exhausted. They ate
their boots and devoured the filthy skins
that had covered them during the winter.
The Arctic spring had brought them sea
.weed and diminutive shrimps, but no
ktrength. The survivors lay beneath their
covering, with a frightful hurricane shak
ing the canvas like a death-rattle.
.All hope was gone. Nol “That is a sig
tin} frpw the sea.” whispered Greely. Each
bne heard ft, but all save lie doubted. The
’others declared faintly that it was only the
call of a sea-lion. The least exhausted
crawled to reconnoiter. He uever re
turned. The wind howled savagely,
Joudev and louder, and finally tore down
the canvas, covering the unconscious bod
ies as if with a shroud. Their comrade,
overcome with joy at finding the rescuers
hail refused to stir from their boat. Leav
ing him there, they made the search alone,
ihus causing hours of suspense for the dy
ing men.
Though weary waiting, Mrs. Greely
ueV'er despaired of her husband’s return.
Like poor Lady Franklin, her great devo
tion sustained her. The love for and of a
woman like her might well support a man
through desperate trials. Beautiful chil
dren, too, one a straugev to the father,
kept watch by their mother’s side. Mrs.
jGreely has both grace and nobility of
character. These constitute her great
charm. 'J'h.e sight of this young couple in
their happy home is most eloquent in
bringing to one’s imagination the full
pathos and joy of their reunion after the
agonizing separation of years. “I would
not endure the misery of that period
Again,” says Mrs. Greely, “for all the fame
and glory that man ever enjoyed.”—Wash
ington Cor. Chicago Tribune.
Wliy Hancock Kmlc Down the Tine.
“It is well known,” said Judge George
M. Curtis, the other day, “that Gen. Han
cock did a.deed of supererogation at Get
tysburg, in rilling up and down 1 fn front of
his line. He told me about it awhile ago.
He said he had a splendid body of men
and they had been fighting for two days
and were much exhausted. At the time
Bpc&cp of they had been under the fire of
130 guiis for two hours—an experience cal

“‘Just as we were awaiting the onset,’
said the general, ‘and a few minutes be-
fope it took place, the historical incident

on the left of the French army at Wagram
occurred to me He rode up and down
pinny times . to keep the men sternly un

Lime to my mind, I acted on it, dashing
out in front of the men and riding up and
down between them and the advancing
enemy. That’s all there was about it. It
Bros done for a purpose, and when the
men cheered and stood firm as a rock. I
knew it had’served the purpose well.”’—

The Beauties of a Bath-ltoom.
The chateau of Chenonceaux. France, is
cow The home of M. Daniel Wilson, the
son-lu law of President Gicvy, and the
bath-roam still remains one of the fea
tures of tin.* interior. The walls are cov
ered with small beveled mirrors, scarcely
larger than a span. Between these panels
runs a slender line of gold, and at the in-,
tersections hang metal drops like tears,
knd just long enough to be reflected in the
glass. ’ The effect is most limpid and bril
liant. and the panels are so small that the
purposes of a mirror are skillfully frus
trated. The bath is of solid silver, with
the water issuing from swans’ heads,
which, with a mirror behind, produces the
illusion of swans on the surface of the wa
ter. All the other appointments are in
keeping with this magnificence, even to an
ante-room, where repose can be found
with cigars after the bath.—Foreign Let
ter.
Tiring Muscles in Desol Bullies.
Dr. Hr own Sequard, the French physiol
ogist, has demonstrated that for several
weeks after death, or during the rigid con-
Sitions which immediately follow the ces
sations of life, the muscles of an animal
undergo slow alternate contractions and
elongations; and lie reaches the.startling
cofieftiiioi* that the muscles in rigor mor-
fis are not dead, but are still endowed
with vital powers, being, however, in a
certain chemical condition which is ante
cedent and preparatory to final death.—

A Confederate Cavalry Deneral’s Way.
<'Jeb Stuart was a very daring fellow
and the best cavalryman America ever
produced. At the second Manassas. so<>n
after we heard of the advance of McDow
ell and Porter, Stuart came in ami made
a report to Gen. Lee. When he had done
so Gen. Lee said he had no orders at that
moment, bnt he requested Stuart to wait
awhile. Thereupon Stuart turned round
in his tracks, lay down on the ground, put
a stone under his head and instantly fell
asleep. 11011. Lee rode away and in an

asked for him, and Stuart sprang to
his feet and said: “Here I am, genertil.”
; Gen. Lee replied: “I want you to send
a message to your troops over ou the left
to send a few more cavalry over to the
right.”
“I would better go myself,” said Stuart,
and with that he swung himself iqto the
saddle and rode off at a rapid gallop,
Ringing as loudly, as he could, “Jine the
cavalry."—Gen. Longstreet in The Cen

life had numerous reverses of fortune. He
was born in northern New York sixty-two

first arrivals and
one of the founders
of the first town
government. He
invested his money
in land, mining
claims and mining
veutures. As early as 1WI he began the busi
ness of crushing and reducing ore in a little
stamp mill Tills and other ventures brought
him rich returns. In the succeeding twCnty-
tive years his fortune at times reached *3,000,-
0(X), but shrinkage of values and losses in
speculation swept away a largo part of his
wealth. \\ bon Colorado was made a terri
tory he becamo a delegate to congress, anil
fought President Johnson iW its admission
as a state. In 1875 he opposed vigorously
Gen. Grant’s nomination of Gen. McCook to
bo governor of Colorado. This antagonism
he kept until INTO, when the two hful. a
meeting at the 'White House, biuded their
differences and started a friendship that was
to ho slightly broken at a later period. This
was in 1SS0 by Senator Chaffee’s opposi
tion to the third term movement. In 1NS1,
while the senator was lying ill at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, attended by his daughter, U.
S. Grant, Jr., called to renew his acquaint
ance with Miss Chaffee, which had been
formed in Washington, and kept up his visits
until tliey were married in 1882. This mar
riage brought about betw een Gen. Grant and
Senator Chaffee an intimacy that grew
closer with each succeeding j ear. The sena
tor invested a large amount of money with
Grant & Ward, and lost *500,000 in one lump
in the eliding days of that affair.
Sham Military Deputations.
As we, year by year, grow away from the
war, and the number of men who carried a
rifle or swung a sponge staff among the guns
grows smaller, the country is flooded with
mythical accounts of this or that oflicer’s
wonderful display of -courage on such and
sue h fiells, and the rising generation is called
upon to admire the gallantry of the warlike
commanders of their ancestors. I protest
•against the further manufacture of sham
military reputation. I have seen some of it
manufactured. I know, and all soldiei’s
know, that tlic greater portion of the stories
now current must be false. The privates in
both the Union and Confederate armies did
the fighting in our war. Theirs the j>oor pay
and wretched food. Not a regiment of vol
unteers but hail as intelligent men in the
ranks ns the one who commanded the division
tliey belonged to. No general saved this re
public. It was preserved by the stanch
courage and intelligence and patriotism of
the privates, who were victorious on many
bloddy battlefields in spite of the blundering
incapacity of their commatuleis.—Frank
Willesou in New York Sun.
fho Art of C loisonne Beating Explained.
Cloisonne vases have always been ob
ject.’ o* admiration in intelligent art cir
Ties of this and other countries, but it is
extremely doubtful if one proud posses
sor of cloisonne work in a hundred had the
faintest conception of how their highly-
valued treaures were made. It is now no
longer a secret, but if the romance of mys
tery has disappeared, there has taken its
place a deep sense of admiration for the
patience and laborious perseverance of the
skillful workmen, which fully makes up
for it. The first stage is the hammering of
sheets of copper into gracefully-shaped
vases, plaques or other articles. A vase
or plaque thus laboriously shaped is then
passed into the hander of the designer,
who draws with a peculiar ink upon the
copper such fanciful design as his imagi
nation and artistic instincts may dictate,
after which the copper article is given into
the hands of a most patient young work
man of Japan, who, at the expense of a
world of care, moulds tiny oits of wire
by aid of a strong cement, upon the pen
ciled lines of the designer.
The process is so slow that you wonder,
as you look on, why the imported Gloi-
ionne rase, for which you paid *75 anil
which has always seemed to you high at
that figure, did hot cost twice the amount.
Little by little, in diminutive bits, picked
up gingerly with delicate pincers, the
copper wire is made to decorate the shin
ing surface of the vase. And then the vase
is handed to the workman who has charge
of the fourth stage of its construction,
and you watch, with admiration for his
patience and the dellcasy of his touch,
how he lays on different-colored coats of
enamel with a fairy-like brush, dropping
it cleanly amid t’ne .small interstices of the
copper plaque with never a blotch or mis
directed stroke. After this the copper-
woven and enameled ware is subject to a
tempering heat, and then is given into the
hands of the finisher, who turns each vase
out as beautiful and shiny as the check of
a freshly-washed fall pippin.- ;3t. Paul

Mexican Hospitality ami Etiquette.
The next halting place was El Pilas, a
small hacienna in the midst of dense
woods. A servant had been sent forward
to crave shelter for the party over night,
and we found the family assembled at the
gate to receive ns, and dinner smoking on
the table. The hospitality of these good
people knows no bounds, and their
generosity is equaled only by their con
fidence in stranger guests and the exceed
ing beauty of their manners. The innate
politeness of the race shows itself in every
movement, and the most poor and ignor
ant Indian has an obeisance of command
and a well-turned compliment at the end
of his tongue, whose grace an American
could not imitate though he tried a life
time.
I may mention en passant a eircum-
stance connected with the table etiquette
of this place which led us into a number
of embarrassing mistakes—for nothing can
be more annoying than to find oneself
guilty of irreverence during prayer time.
The table waiter at El Pilas has a way of
his own for saying grace, with which
we were not familiar, and therefore
found ourselves perpetually transgressing,,
though xvith the best intentions. In Mex
ico every meal is served in courses, each
article by itself if it be but a teaspoonful
of peas, and consequently the plates are
many times removed. At this ceremoni
ous dinner there w ere at least a dozen
courses, and at each change of dish the
pk>ns waiter fell upon his knees and re
peated a Spanish prayer—a proceeding
which prolonged the meal most tediously.
