Polar Pigmies. UHNWI PETERS’ PATENT TANNINS PROCESS IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS! First. WHAT DB. FATES FOUND AMONG THE ICEBERGS — CURIOUS CREATURES—THE ESQUI MAUX GOD AND DEVIL. Dr. Hayes, the great Arctic explorer, has been lecturing on what he knows about those cold regions, and gives some of the facts, as follows : In 1863 he lint sailed into the frozen regions of the north, returning, after an ab sence of two and a half years, without any great meed of success. Dr. Kane subsequently made an effort to penetrate to the open polar sea. He failed, but some of his party trav eled over the ice on aleighs, and say they saw it. Following in the footsteps of Dr. Kane, Dr. Hayes, in 1860, led another expedition toward the north pole, passed a winter where Kane had stopped before, and in 1861 looked out upon the open Polar Sea from the most noteworthy point yet reached by any explorer, “unless," added the lecturer, “Captain Hall has picked up the little flag I planted there, and borne it onward to the North Pole, as I sincerely hope be has.” (Applause.) Dr. Hayes next sketched the progress of civilization in Green land, Iceland, Denmark, and other portions of Northern Europe, where the godly King Otaf had worked braveh in the cause of religion, Christianizing all beneath his sway by the simple operation of decapiting the heathen. A race of pigmies. “The men of the Arctic regions,” said Dr. Hayes, “stand for the most part about four and a half feet in height, end in color closely re semble an unwashed North American Indian. Their dress is composed of bear and seal skins. There is little dif ference between the costume of the sexes, but the head-dre3s of the women is sufficiently striking to distinguish them from the men. The hair is twisted op on the top of the head in the form of a horn, several inches in length, its size being enhanced by the judicious interlacing with it of several strips of seal skin, which also serve to keep it in its place. Though the ladies of nations less far north resort to artifices somewhat sim ilar, they can not be said to be equally suc cessful, for their sisters of the Arctic regions, having once done up their hair do not find it necessary to touch it again for several months, until, in fact, the interlaced seal skin falls to pieces from the decay, and the carefully built cone tumbles at last. A plurality of wives is almost invariably indulged in, and little jealously is manifested by the fair sex. The lecturer related an instance of a man who came under his observation who had three wives. These women were perfectly content except in one particular—they considered it no small grievance that their husband obsti nately refused to take a fourth wife and thus lighten the household labors of the other three. In this interesting family there bad originally been seven ohildren. Two had died from causes incidental|to 4 childhood, and a third having been born with a clubbed foot, the father mournfully informed Dr. Hayes that he thought it best to place it in a hole in the snow and cover it up. THE ESQUIMAUX* DEVIL AND GOD. The ideas of a supreme being and thoughts regarding a future existence entertained by these people are very peculiar. Their God is enthroned on a rock, with his head pierc ing the heavens, on a green island, and over looks all the world—that is, all that is worth overlooking—the land of the Esquimaux. On this island are the steps leading to Paradise, and on each of these are dishes containing food varying in quality in proportion to the height of the step on which they are placed. To this island the spirits of the good Esqui maux are transplanted, aud deposited accord ing to their degree of merit on the steps of the rock, where they regale themselves j through all eternity on the food contained in ! the dishes. I As for the spirits of the unfortunate Esqui- j manx who have not merited salvation, they j are cast into a region of intense, unimagina- j 1 have County and Family Rights for ble cold, where no such thing as food is ever : sale in the following counties.

The most curious ceremony known to the Esquimaux is, perhaps, that of marriage. It is done thus: when a boy kills a polar bear it is considered sufficient proof of his ability to maintain a family; he is therefore told “to go and catch a wife.” Watching his opportunity at night time, he pounces upon a victim and at; - mpts to carry her off; she, however, struggle* and shrieks until she has collected around her a group of sympathizers. She then turns upon her captor, and bites and scratches him until he is compelled to release her ; then she darts into the crowd and attempts to escape; he follows, but not unmo lested. Ail the old women take scourges of dried seal-6kin and flagellate him immerci- fully as he passes, making at the name time every effort to arrest his coarse. If, despite these little impediments to matrimonial bliss, he should catch his victim, the biting and scratching is renewed, and in all probability he is again compelled to release her, and the chase, with its attendant discomforts, is re sumed. Should he overcome all obstacles, the third capture usually proves effectual, and the victim, ceasing her struggles, is led away amid the acclamations and rejoicings of the f pjcKENS The London Assurance Corporation of London wa* incorporated by Royal charter n the year 1720, with a subscribed capital of $4,482,750 (gold), of which $2,241,875 (gold) has been paid in cash.

Tbe undersigned have seen the “ Brinley Shaft Plow ” at work for two days, bedding for cotton, working in j corn and cotton, aud have worked it ourselves, and we express our entire satisfaction with it iu every way. It j makes an elegant bed at every trip, and thoroughly pulverizes the land at the aame time. After bed ding, we plowed down the bed on the water furrow—the place for guano, reversing the bed and covering the ! guano at the same time. In corn planted in six feet rows, one round cleared the row, and left the land in splen did order, which would have required live furrows with a single plow, thus saving over one-half the labor, and I doing the work equally as well, if not better. Cotton rows from three to three and a half feet, were cleared a: one furrow, which would have required two furrows with auy other plow. As a cultivator it surpasses any thing we ever saw, and for bedding lands after being broken, it cannot be surpassed, as it does the work of three men aud mule*. We cheerfully give it our fullest endorsement and recommendation, as tbe greatest la bor-saving agricultural implement that has ever been ou our farms, or in this country. The draft of the plough is as light as a Dixon Sweep on a single stock—a medium mule carrying it with ease. H. M. GRAY, 8. F. GRAY. H. A. BROOKS. J. T. GRAY. J. M. BROWN. The “ Brinley Plough” is adapted splendidly for bedding cotton or corn land, and for the cultivation of field crops. I have made mauv ploughs, and understand what ploughs should do. aud unhesitatingly say that the •• Shaft Plow ” will do all that is claimed for it as a cultivator, saving the labor of two men and mules.

Burr, this day, and do not hesitate to say that it is good for all claimed for it. It broke and bed ded cotton land aa well, if not better, than one horse and hand could do, making a complete bed at one haul. It ia equal to three hands and three mule*, and is easily worked by one mule or one horse. We consider it a great labor-saver, and unhesitatingly recommend it, and will use it ourselves as soon as they can be procured. 8. B. BURR. RUF. JOHNSON, DR. J. H. CONN ALLY.

I apriO dtf Prices at the Vienna Exhibi tion. iu on the Vienna Exposition during a sum mer jaunt, on the other side, had better see that their pocket-books are in a plethoric condition. A special correspondent of the New York Tribune writes as follows, as to prices; A single, diminutive bedroom in the fourth story is now $1 25 per day, and will be $2 or more next week. Lodgings are not to be bad except for the whole Bix months, at prices still ranging trom $40 for a single room to $500 for three, or $1,000 for a large suite, and rooms are with difficulty to be got at any of the better hotels. The Exhibition managers seem to have the same fever, for not only have they compelled all exhibitors to pay a large price per sqnare foot for their space, but the restrictions on admission are to the last degree illiberal. Twenty-five florins (about $121 must be Paid for entry at tbe opening cere* mony, $25 for a lady’s season ticket, and $50 for a gentleman's, while every person em ployed by tbe restaurant keepers and exhibit ors must pay a monthly tax of six florins. All this may make Vienna rich, but I am in clined to think the Viennese are going to kill the goose that lays their golden eggs. The common people catch up tbe spirit of the day and charge the most absurd prices for every thing—washing at the rate of 20 cents for a shirt. r*J~ The following TESTIMONIALS arc ■ from gentlemen of high stauding in tha city Those of our people who design dropping | where the Patentee lives Saint James.
