An interntttioiwl polar cxpedt- -tion is to sail from England next June under Commander CJicyrtc, of the royal navy. He has offered Lieut. Sclnvutka a position in tlie expedition, and also expects the co-operation of Lieut. Hovgoord, of tlie Royal Danish navy, wlw will accompany it in the interest of Denmark. It is proposed, should the sum of i'30,000 be se cured, to send the vessel, to St. Patrick's bav, wlSere the Alert, of the Narcs' expedition, wintered and from there survey the prospect of polar sledging by means of bal loons, and if favorable circum stances are found to exist, it is intended to attempt the journey with the assistance of balloons. Otherwise the vessel will return down Smith sound and enter Wel lington channel, by way of Lan caster sound, passing up with the current that is believed to flow toward the north and cast to pos sible winter quarters in lattitude cif htv-four degrees north from here. The Polar explorations will be conducted by means of sledge and balloons, and upon being re leased from the ice, in the follow ing summer, the vessel will pursue her course towards the northeast, passingas near the pole as possible, and probably pass the scconi winter near latitude eighty-four de crees north upon a meridian further to the east, and -about due north of Greenland. The following sum mer, upon breaking out from her winter quarters, she will continue her homeward voyage to England, passing down with the southerly current between Greenland tind Spitzbergen. It is proposed, in case the sura of 30,000 cannot be secured, to be content with 15, 000, and confine operation's to a voyage to St Patrick's bay as a base of operations, by means of a vessel chartered for the purpose at a cost, including insurance and refitting for Arctic service, of 12,000. From her polar re searches arc to be made by baloons or sleds. It appears thai, near!' all the smaller sum has already been subscribed. Correspondence published show v that it is the determination to put the expedition afloat next .June, and regain, if possible, the ascen dency formerly won in the Arctic research under the British JUjr- In the office of the recorder of deeds at tlie Court-house is pcr lmps the only deed of land from an Indian to a white man in existence in this country. It is the only one that has been found there, at any rate, and is the docket which con tains a number of deeds and con firmations by Sir Francis Lovelace? governor-general of these prov ince, under the Duke of York. The deed is from Mechsecksitt, Chief Sachem of the Cohansink In dians, "sole owner and pioprietor of all that tract of laud commonly called by the christians Bompics Hook, and the Indians Ncwsink." For the consideration of one gun, four Iwndfuls of powder, three "inatscoats," one anchor of liquor and one kettle "in hand paid by Peter Bayard, of New York," the land is made over to Mr. Bayard, his heirs and assigns. The signa tures are an interesting part of the decument: The old chief made a mark that looks more like a turtle than anything else one can think of. After this mark comes the line: "This is the mark of Mois sappenackin, son of Meclwcksitt," and the mark is that of a man's hand. The seal is set at Newcastle, in Delaware, on May 4th, 1G79. Training C'rcuc Blepliants. "How do you train elephants to do their funny business standing on their heads and all that sort of thing?" A New Haven reporter queried. "Use tlie mechanic," explained Mr. Hutchinson. "We put a band about the hind legs of an elephant when we want to teach him to stand on Ins head. Then we put a pillow under his head. At the other end of the tackle is another elephant, and wlieii the word of command is giv en off goes the elephant on the outside of tins ring, and the fellow on the inside is obliged to stand on his head, whether he will or no. This is repeated until finally the beast knows what's wanted and tlien at the word of command up he goes on his head. And it's so with all other tricks. It's persis tency that does." He explained I further that when once they had received instructions and were chained back in their places they would work at their tricks appar ently trying to perfect themselves in them. It is, Mr. Hutchinson says, much more amusing to sec them then, than at any other time. MISCELLANEOUS. For Sale. AFIJCK HOAT. SUITARLE I'OR F1SII kuf.

Doubtless copies of this most interesting and historical picture will soon be seen in the various shop windows. A Man Under the Bed. There is a story being freshly circulated at the London clubs and in society that a mysterious man was traced into "Windsor castle, where he was last seen with a flat candlestick in his hand, and that it cannot be proved he ever came out. Many believe he is there still, concealed "like the burglar at Bournemouth who terrified Lady Favcrsham and her young daugh ter, and on coming out of his hiding place under the sofa coolly announced Jie had been there a whole day, and intended to let his companions in the following night to steal and plunder anything they could lay their hands on. The courage and sangfroid shown br the two ladies on the occasion were admirable' beyond all praise. They showed no signs of surprise or alarm, rang the bell, and quietly ordered the servant answering it to hand the burglar over to the police. The burglar, in his turn, was so taken aback by this pres ence of mind and coolness that he forgot to try to escape, and al lowed himself to be pinioned like a bird in a cure.

A Nevada paper states that a prominent Chinese merchant of San Francisco was in Carson, Nevada, recently, to solicit sub scriptions among his countrymen for the purpose of establishing; a laro-e Chinese bank. It is stated that the guarantees in Carson amounted to nearly 10,000. The bank will begin business upon a guaranteed capital of $1,000,000. Nearly one-fifth of the cotton raised in this country in 1SS0 was raised in Texas. That year Texas produced 1,000,000 bales, or eighty times as much as she produced in 1840.

Our books and newspapers are full of tuts kind of literature, and it varies in style from the roduction of the child at school, commencing with: The horse has four legs and a tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the scholar when he quotes from Jeb: That his neck is'clothed with thundqr and the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He stnelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains and the shouting. Between these two ex tremes of the child at his Srst school composition, and the professional literature, we have every jiradeof pre tention, and each professing to have mastered the whole subject. As we approach the close of this nineteenth century, we begin to look for some thing better in this department of knowledge from those who assume to instruct."
