these vessels, together with the Mount

however. Cold weather had been com

ice had : begun to form. The vessels
-were then, on the 19th, in longitude 7a
detrrees west, about eighty miles from
Herald island, and, as far as the sight
could stretch to the westward the ocean
. was one glittering mass of ice. Occa
sionally the ships would find small
stretches of clear water, and then again
they would encounter large blocks of old
ice. Their trials from the time the ice
began to form are graphically told by J.
Jarter, the chief mate of the Helen Alar,
Ha says: On the 18th of October we
found a lot of new ice just to the west
ward of Herald shoals, and went through
it, and finding clear water, thought we
were all right, but were disappointed, for
ihat same evening we ran into heavy ice
auu iiau k wear snip, we neaaea 10 toe
northeast, shortened sail and anxiously
waited till daylight. The next morning
we steered first to the cast and then to
the west, but found ice all, around us,
and had to give it up. We were, then in
company with the Mercury. After
consultation, the two captains concluded
to go back and try to fret round to the
eastward, as it seemed as if the ice made
toward the northwest. A strong breeze
carried us into clear water, after passing
s-ltuuku some new ice. we men
thought that we , had got past
all the ice, " but v met ' it
again, after passing through occasional
clear water. On the morning of the 21st
we found that jt was all around where
we wanted to go, so we put the ships
into it, with heavy hearts, and worked to
the south. The ice was very close, but
at night it became so thick we were
stopped. The thermometer waa . then
down to 8. The next day both' ships
were imbedded in "the ice. with all sail
set, but motionless, in eighteen fathoms
of water, and a current drifting us to the
northeast about two miles an hour. The
ships were then made fast to each other
with cutting falls and the anchors
dropped. The ships were held and the
ioe passed us until the afternoon, when
the current ceased to run. There were
no signs of clear weather; it was freez
ing hard: the ice was thickening: all
looked gloomy, and we all thought we
should have to winter there, and we
knew what that meant. It was simply
this: we must all die, as we had neither
provisions nor fuel enough to last us.
nor were our ships in a fit condition to
face the trials of an Arotic winter. . In
the evening a strong wind rose out of
the northwest; bringing with it snow
quails, and our hearts were happy, for
wetnougnt a gale was coming on. All
hands worked with a will, and we were
not long in getting up the anchors and
again setting full sail. But, alas, we
were again doomed to disappointment.
The Mercury mofred about two ships'
lengths and then was stopped. We
moved not an inch. The night closed in
and the .feeling of despair nearly ap
proached os. Few slept that night. The
kl came cans and cold, with ice so
thick that we crossed from the one vessel
to the other. fe then decided that we
were doomed to winter in this desolate
spot, and in order to make the provisions
last, we resolved to live in one ship and
use the other for fuel. The Helen Mar,
being tlie strongest and best ship, was
selected as the one to live in, and all
hands went to work to bring in the pro
visions from the Mercury on sledges,
carrying a ton at each load, and which
w drag-sd over the ioe.
The Alfircury had a lot of blubber,
and we commenced to remove that, as it
would be good to burn and eat. Hard
di.l we work from morning until night
fall, when it blew fresh from the north
with mow, "but still no signs of the ice
breaking up At night Captain Hick
usch, of the Mercury, his wife and chil
dren, came on board. On the next day,
the 24th, it blow a strong gale from the
north. It was freezing, and there were
no sums of a biak i-i the ice. At four

crew, the bread aal flour of the Mercury

were all on board. It then commenced
to blow so hard and ithe ship rolled so
heavily, that we had to cut adnft from
the Mercury. If the ships had come to
gether they would have torn each other
to pieces through the strain upon them.
All being on board the Helen Mar, We
set a cloae-reefed fore topsail, to try and
force the ship through the ice as it broke
up. The ship pounded very hard, but
we worked slowly to: the southeast and
tried the pumps every fifteen minutes,
expecting that the ioe would stave the
vessel in. but she stood it nobly. On the
25th we worked through the ice all night
and ait day. every moment fearing that
me frozen waters would cut our crave
ship through, as there was a heavy strain
upon her and a terrible gale blowing;
but it was a case of life or death, and we
thought we might as well go that way as
stop there and perishj At four p. m. we
got through into quite) clear water, but it
was freezing hard and; bitterly cold, ana
the ship was covered with ice and snow.
The next day a heavy gale blew from
tbe a. a. w., we steering to the o. su.
At 2 r. m., we reached more new ice,
packed closely with a! heavy swell run
ning, so far as we could see. to the N. E.
and S. VV., and as we oonld not get
around it, we set all sail and -worked
through it, and got into quite clear wa
ter three) hours afterward, ior a day ana
a half we worked through ice, and again
we experienced another long and anxious
night dark, a thick fog, the thermome
ter down to zero, the skip one mass of
ice, the rudder frozen,: the ship unman
ageable, and a heavy gale blowing. The
captain was in the foretop all night, and
had no sleep for three days or nights; in
fact, for a week few of usnad any sleep.
We remained in the ice till the 28th,
when it cleared, and we made East Cape
and the islands. The strait was blocked
with ice. ' We worked through and came
out of it off Cape Prince of Wales. On
the 28th, during a thick snowstorm, the
bark ran aground on the shoals off the
cape. . She lay on the bottom and pound
ed hard for about an hour. It was pret
ty bad, and we thought things had come
to a climax. We were compelled to
throw lots of stuff overboard to get her
off, From the time we left Cape Prince
of Wales till we had passed the Fox is
lands, the weather was very, bad and
dirty, from the Islands to San Francis
co the weather was pleasant with light
contrary winds. The probable fate of
the Vigilant and Mount Wollaston, can
only be conjectured. If they persisted
in making their way ' north, as the cap
tains intended, they were undoubtedly
caught in the ice an event which leads
to the conclusion that the will never be
seen again. None of the vessels had seen
the Jeannette, although it was reported
that the Sea Breeze bad sighted her,

African slavery, a trained Indian fighter,

that William F. Cody is as well ac

Of serious import just now to the people

nothing of the Indian character, and
either through fear, ignorance or dis
honesty are led into making promises
which the Government cannot, or will
not fulfill. Every Indian outbreak that
x nave ever known has resulted from
broken promises and broken treaties by
the Government." f ' :

that it is to his interest to do so, and
brought into it by degrees. . Too much
cannot be accomplished all at once. But
if a wise, firm policy is pursued, the In
dians will gradually drift into agricnl

Speaking of the recent outbreaks of

" Next to myself. I think Grant is tha
luckiest man in America. Nothing would

"How did you get the name of 'Buffalo
Bill,' Mr. Cody?"
"In 18G7, when the Kansas Pacific
road was being built, I was in the service
of the Government. One of the
managers of the road came to me and
said the men were out of meat, and asked
me what I would contract to furnish 25
buffalos a day for, I told him I was in
the service of the Government and could
not work for him at any price. The
company, however, made an arrange
ment with the Government so that I got
off, and he hired me at $500 a month to
shoot buffalos. I thought $500 a month
was the biggest salary any man ever re
ceived. I went to work,and in 18 months
I killed 4280 buffalos. The 'Paddys' em
ployed on the road, as a consequence,
became very tired of buffalo meat.
When they saw me coming they knew
my appearance heralded a fresh supply
of tough buffalo meat and they said, one
to another, 'Bedad, here comes Buffalo

we'll have more buffalo meat now." I

And then remember, my son, yoa have
to work. Whether you have to handle a
pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of
books, digging ditches or editing a pa
per, ringing an auction bell or writing
funny tilings, you must work. If you
will look around 'you will see that the
men who are the most able to work are
the men you work the hardest. Don't be
afraid of killing yourself with overwork,
son. It is beyond your power to do that.
Men cannot work so hard as that on the
sunny side of 80. They die sometimes
because they quit work, at o r. u. ana
don't get home until 2 a. m. It's the in
tervals that kill, my son. The work gives
you an appetite for your meals, it lends
solidity to your slumber, it gives you a
perfect and grateful appreciation of a
holiday. There are young men who do
not work, my son; young men who make
a living by sucking the end of a cane,
whose entire mental development is in
sufficient to tell them which side of a
postage stamp to lick; young men who
can tie a necktie in eleven different knots
and never lay a wrinkle in it, and then
would get into a West Hill street car to
go to Chicago; who can spend more mon
ey in a day. than you can earn in a month ;
who will go to the Sheriff's to buy a pos
tal card, and apply at the office of Street
Commissioner for a marriage license.
But the world is not proud of them, my

it simply speaks of them as old Boanso's

them; the great, busy world doesn't even

Ame icaa Wood Engravers
American wood engravers are the beat
m the world, and. even the London
Saturday EevUvi at length recognizes
the fact. "Tha impartial critic." it says.
"who asked where the best wood cuts
are : produced, has, we fear, but one
answer possible: Neither in .England

In fact, the engraver there is far ahead of
the artist, and if they had such men as
our own ohief book illustrators artists

special study to draw for their en
gravers, our trans-Atlantic cousins
might well boast that they had beaten
the country of Bewick and Jackson. The
only proof needed of the truth of our re
luctant admission may be found in a mo
ment. Take any recent number of such
an American periodical as Scribner't
juaaazine.BAd compare with the Corn
hill Yet look at the delicacy of the
American engraving, the number of dif
ferent tints and shades, the microscopic
graining of the ground, the absolute
fidelity of the print to the original draw
ing, the subordination of the engraver's
mind to that of the artist whose work he
perpetuates. In ordinary English wood
cuts, the artist's work is translated, not
perpetuated. It is obliterated, and we
must put up with a translation, just as
some ancient Greek authors are only
known .by the Latin . versions of their
works. A child can recognize the heavy
hand of the engraver. His individuality,
ma mannerism, nis mucn more strongly
marked than that of the artist, and in
the result we have a black and white
imitation of a pen-and-ink drawing,
absolutely devoid of gradation, and
showing everywhere that the cutter has
been wrestling with the artist, not help
ing nun; nas been shouting him down,
rather than allowing him to tell his own
tale. It is, of course, no business of
onrs to ask how the American engraver
obtains his effects, whether he largely
uses machinery; whether he cuts on
a softer wood than box, or on no wood at
all, but some composition. All this is
beside the question; certain it is that, if
we want to see modern 'xylography'
worthy to compare with Bewick's, we
must go to America for it "
How a Rich Mas Got His Will
Cheaply. A millionaire who lived and
died in the vicinity of this city, as he
felt his last days drawing nigh, sum
moned a distinguished neighbor : and
lawyer, who since has occupied one of
the highest positions in the gift of repre
sentatives of the people, to prepare a last
will and testament. When the will was
drawn the man said: "I propose to make
you my executor, and 1 shall require no
bond from you. ' Write that, also." The
ex-Judge complied, after thanking his
client, and promised to execute the will
to the best of his ability. "What is
your bill for drawing up my will?"
asked the millionaire. . "Oh. under the
circumstances, of course, I shall charge
you nothing, was the answer. "But,
said the other, "than is not the my way
of doing business. Make out and receipt
a bul for your services and i will pay
you now." "Well, since you insist, I
will make out a bill for a nominal sum-
say $25." And this member, who seldom
draws a breath without charging some
one for the respiration, made out and re
ceipted for $25 a bill which, under other
circumstances, would have been 8500.
The , good mad died and was buried.
When the will was read it was found
that the name of his son had been in'
serted in the place of that of the distin
guished lawyer. . The ruling passion ia
strong in death. The man who knew
how to accumulate wealth understood
the value of a tightly drawn will and the
difference between 25 and $500. He
had merely copied the words in the
order they were written by his legal
friend and thus obtained an irrefragible
will at small cost, and an executor of his
own choosing. Cincinnati Gazette,

: The death of the late General Joseph
Hooker recalls to the mind of the write!
a memorable incident that occurred
during our "late unpleasantness" of 3000
Confederates warmly cheering a Major -General
of the United States Army.
Those of our readers who shared with
us the privations of a prison like in
Rock Island, III., during the severe
winter of 1863 will learn with sorrow of
the death of General Hooker; a sorrow
born of profound respect for a gallant
soldier and true gentleman, and jthe
mention of his name will doubtless re
call fresh to their memories the visit of
inspection he paid the prison in if we
mistake not the date the winter of
18G3. -v-v-. -j---
In full uniform and mounted on a
large, handsome gray stallion. General
Hooker presented a grand appearance
when he entered the prison gate. By
his side rode Lieutenant-Colonel Carrier,
second in command of the post, but who
really commanded it, and a more
cowardly, cruel and dirty villain never
disgraced God's image of man. Behind
the two rode a couple of officers we
have forgotten : their names; but they
were members of General Hooker a
staff. Slowly the little cavalcade rode
down, and then up the lines of the
wretched, half -starved captives who
were drawn up for inspection, but who
instinctively shrank back from the bru
tal and triumphant stare of Carrier, ex
pecting every moment to receive a curse
or a blow from him. The keen, quick
eyes of General Hooker seemed to scan
every man irom neaa - to iieei, as ne
slowly passed them in review, and at the
upper end of the lines, near where the
writer stood, the party baited; and the
old General, half wheeling his horse,
lifted his hat with as , much knightly
grace as if we had all been oourtiers.and
a soft expression passed over his face as
he said, "Young gentlemen, I am sorry
very sorry, for you, and hope that our
differences will be settled, so that you
all can - return safely home again.''
simple as the expression was. it was so
different from those we had been accus
tomed to hearing from the commander
of the prison that it touched the hearts
of the "ragged rebs" like a current
of electricity, and instantly three
thousand throats gave a lusty cheer for
"fighting Joe Hooker."
' We are pretty certain that there was
not a man in the line who would not. if

Sorth Atlantic Iceberg.
The recent disaster to the Arizona will
not bo an unmixed evil if it serve to open
up and settle some of the questions rela
tive to the icebergs which infest the
western basin of the North Atlantic.
There is probably no track of any ocean
largely frequented by ships that exposes
At a- :l i . i

peninsula shaped sea of cold water south
of Newfoundland. As the Gulf Stream
nears the Grand Banks it makes what
Lieutenant Maury called the "Great
Bend, into which, as a grand "iceberg
naroor, ; tne giaeiai arm of the whole
Arctic Ocean pours its chilling volumes.
j. he Antarctic Ucean has at every mendi
an a free outlet for its surplus ices,
which, after they emerge from the South
Polar circle, form an almost uninter
rupted belt about the sixtieth parallel of
south latitude. But the North Polar
ocean, having no outlet at Bchring Strait
(inrongn the narrows of which no ice
berg can make its way against the inflow'
ina warm current! . and the sea between
Greenland and Norway, being mostly oc
cupied by southerly currents, the only
great gateway through which it can dis
charge its frozen masses is Davis Strait.
No body of water on the globe of like
size yet discovered can compare with this
for the volumes of ice which it transports
to low latitudes. The single ice drift
which bore the old exploring ship Reso
lute, abandoned by Kellett and floated
through llalhn s Bay to the southward,
was computed by Herschel and others to
cover 300, (XX) square miles, and Scoresby
measured icebergs in the Greenland seas
weighing as many tons.
It is remarkable that the icebergs of
the entire arctio basin which find their
way to Newfoundland should all make for
the "Great Bend" off the Great Banks,
where the Gulf Stream turns sharply to
the northeast. The prevailing winds are
westerly, and would, were there no coun
teracting force, drive the ice to the east.
So would the Gulf Stream there tend to
distribute them over the eastern Atlantic.
But the force of the earth's diurnal rota
tion and the underflow of the arctic cur
rent, acting on the largest or submerged
part of the berg, press it to the westward
and carry it into the "Great Bend,"
through which the navigation of the
I world continues to this day to select its
transatlantic routes.
It is claimed by some apologists for the
Arizona's collision that the Newfound
land icebergs are rarely met with except
m spring. tsui Maury states that tbe
cold current from Davis Strait "in late
summer and autumn brings down a large
number." Certain it is that, with prob
ably the exception of the three winter
months, a ship is at no time secure from
the rude encounter with such an obstacle
as met the Guion steamer. The ill-fated
City of Boston, which some years ago
left Halifax in the last week in February
and was never heard from, it is thought
by many perished in the ice. But what
is of greater import, it appears from well
authenticated data that in some years the
ice-drift from the polar seas is so abnor
mally great as to falsify the calculations
of the oldest and most experienced sea
men. Thus, in 1860, Sir Leopold Mc
Clintock found .that unusually . great
quantities oi lceoergs had accumulated
on the Greenland coast "to an extent not
previously known for about thirty-six
years," a fact which Admiral Fitzroy ex
plained by the abnormal heats which pre-
tsubu iu me mu preceding years; and,
of course, in the first warm season that
sueceeded, these towering formations
were launched upon the Arctic current
that descends to Newfoundland. Simi
larly, in 1869, from the Antarctic basin,
there was an abnormal discharge of ice-
ucriia iuiu me amp tracks ox tne Month.
ern Ocean in quantities and of dimen
sions greater than had ever before been
recorded by the British Admiraltv. Tt is
possible that the present month and the
early spring of 1880 will prove as mem
orable for icebergs in the Atlantic as the
summer of 1869 was in the South Indian
Ocean. :. ...
In the long dark nights of an antarctic
winter, when the moon is not near the
full, the great anxiety of the skillful nav
igator is, as Fitzroy says, to keep "a vig
ilant lookout for ice. This is no less
true in the foggy nights of our northern
winter off the Grand Banks. . It is said
that icebergs at the distance of several
miles can be detected by their depressing
effect on the sea temperature, sometimes
amounting to ten degrees of tha ther
mometer. Bnt, valuable as instrumental
indications surely are, the chief depend
ence must ever be upon the "vigilant
lookout." If the steamship companies
will risk the dangers of the Great Banks
rather than lose a little time, their cap
tains should, at least, be required to be
on deck the little while their vessels are
running the great ice gauntlet at night

The following bit of war history is
related by the Toledo Journal:
General James 15. e teed man,
familiarly known as "Old Chicks,
manga," was never in happier frame
than at the Ford Post reunion the
other evening, when, with other val
uable anecdotes and incidents of the
war, he related the following: Some
weeks after the disastrous battle of
Chickamauga, while yet Chattanooga
was in a state ' of siege. General
Steedman was surprised one day to
receive a telegram from Abraham
Lincoln : to come to Washington.
Seeking out Thomas he laid the tele
gram before him, and was instructed
to set oat at once. Repairing to tbe
White liouso he was warmly wel
comed by Mr. Lincoln.
Mr. Lincoln s first question was
abrupt and to tbe point: "General
Steedman, what is your opinion of
General Bosecraos?"
General Steedman, hesitating a
moment, said: "Mr. President, ; I
would rather not express my opinion
of my superior officer."
Mr. Lincoln said: "It is tbe man
who does not want to express an
opinion whose opinion I want. I am
besoiged on all sides with advice.
Every day I get letters from army
officers asking to allow them to come
to Washington to impart some val
uable knowledge in their possession."
"Weil, Mr. President," said Gen
eral Steedman, "yon are the Com-
mander-in Ulnet ot tbe army, and it
yoa order me to speak 1 will do so."
Mr. Lincoln! said, "Then 1 will
order an opinion."
General bteedman then said, "Since
yoa command me, Mr. President, I
will say General Kosecrans is a
splendid man to command a victoti.
ous army. ...
"Hut what kind ot a man is he to
command a defeated army?" asked
Mr. Lincoln.
General Steedman, in reply, said
cautiously, "I think there are two or
three men in that' army that would
be better."
' Then, with his quaint humor, Mr.
Lincoln propounded this question,
"Who ; besides "yourself, General
Steedman, is there in that army who
would make s better commander?"
General Steedman said promptly,
"General George II. Thomas." .
. "I am glad to hear you say so,"
said Mr. Lincoln, "that is my own
opinion exactly. Bat Mr. Stanton is
against bim, and it was only yester
day that a powerful New York dele
gation was here to protest against
his appointment, because be is from
a rebel State, and cannot bo trusted.
Said General Steedman, "A man
who will leave his State (Thomas
was a Virginian V his friends, all bis
associate, to follow the flag of his
country, can be trusted in any posi
tion to which he may be called."
That night the order went forth
from Washington relieving General
Bosecrans of the command of the
army of the Cumberland and ap
pointing Thomas io his place.
Hixdoo Women. The Hindoo women,
when young, are delicate and beautiful.
as far as we can reconcile beauty , with
olive complexion, .says the London
Timet. They are finely proportioned
their features soft and regular, and their
eyes black and languishing; but the
bloom of beauty soon decays, and age
makes rapid progress before they have
seen 80 years. This may be accounted
for from the heat of the climate and the
customs of the country, as they are
often mothers at 12 years of age. No
women can be more attentive to cleanli
ness than the Hindoos; they take every
method- to render their persons
delicate, soft and attractive; their dress
is peculiarly becoming, consisting of a
piece of silk or cotton, tied around the
waist, and hanging in a graceful manner
to the feet; it is afterward brought over
the body in negligent folds; under this
they cover the bosom with a short waist
coat of satin, but wear no linen. Their
long black hair is adorned with jewels
and wreaths of flowers. ' Their ears are
bored in many places, and loaded with
pearls, a variety of gold chains, strings
of pearls and precious stones fall from
the neck over the bosom, and the arms
are covered with bracelets from the wrist
to the elbow. They have also gold and
silver chains round their ankles and an
abundance of rings on their fingers and
toes; among those on the fingers is fre
quently a small mirror. I think the
richer the dress the less becoming it ap

It is not a very pleasant thing to go
through the world without sympathy,
and to meet only those who have no
interest in us, except to make ns con
tributors to their welfare and their sel
fish ends. In marriage, as it should be.
there is no selfishness. Each member
works for the other's good; each con
tributes to the other's welfare. " In the
outside world it is different; each seeks
to use the other for selfish purposes, and
this makes life a contest, a battle. If
such a state were to prevail in the home
and married relation, then marriage
would so far be an evil, and not a
good. ;

may be noted that Count de I'Aigle
will draw the forest of Compicgno

in that imperial chase for seven

provided by the Duke with a gold

This Is to let all know tbat I was born witn a
dark red, angry looking lump in the corner of my
mouth. It continued to grow until I employed
Mr. W, Greene, of Salem, Oregon, la Nov.. 178, to
remove It. He baa soocestfully token it out with
out the use of the knife or ioss of blood. 1 was 69
years old, and the lump had grows to the of a
large hen's egg. When eating, I would sometimes
accidentally bite It and It would bleed profusely :
and gave me mncb trouble, and disfigured me very
much. 1 am thankful that I am relieved of It.

CURE CAfJCER.
If afflicted with this terrible disease
heretofore nsually fatal, do not, as yoa
value your life, submit to the murderous
butchery of a surgical operation, which in
variable leaves portions of tbe roots in the
flesh as germs.and all the cancerous humor
in the system as food for the growth and
development of one or more cancers
more painful, larger land deeper seated
than the first. - .
By Dr. Keek's method, the cancer, if
not too far advanced, is dctolved by medi
cine, administered internally, and thus
carried from the system, never to return;
and in the more advanced stages, it is re
moved by a medicinal application to tbe
part, and the medicine is used internally
to cieanse the system of tbe cancerous
Do not be humbugged by physicians
who will show you a number of caucer
tumors, cut from patients and preserved
in glass jars. True, the cancers are there,
but too often the itients from whom
they were cnt, can bu found only in the
grave..
Cn and see tbe Doctor, and, instead o
Bhowing yoa printed or written certifi
cates, he will refer yon to reputable, liv
ing citizens of Portland ami elsewhere,
who will gratefully testify that they have
been permanently cured by him, even
after having been pronounced incurable
and left to d:.e by other physirfans.
