THE FROZEN OCEAN.
Extracts From Sergeant Rice's Diary—
The Solemn Silence of the Arctic.
The New York Herald publishes ex
tracts from the diary of Sergeant
George B. Rice, who was a member of
the Greely party and perished at Cape
Sabine. Sergeant Rice, describing his
visit with Dr. Favy to Cape Union to
obtain the outlook afforded there,
says: “From this point we’were treat
ed to a beautiful sight. The sun was
in the northeast part of the heavens,
pouring a flood of light down the straits
and, from its low altitude, throwing
deep Rembrandt shades from one side
of the hummocks and bergs, while the
• other glistened and sparkled in the
rosy light like diamonds. The moun
tains of the Greenland coast showed
up with marvelous distinctness, being
in some places distorted by refraction
into remarkable prominence. With
the exception of a narrow lane of
water that lay like a black ribbon at
our feet and extended to the north ward
along one shore until hidden by the in
tervening land, there was nothing to
be seen but ice; ‘The ice was here,
the tee was there, the ice was all
around.’ tVe were leaving the borders
of the 'frozen ocean.’ The ‘open polar
sea’ of enthusiastic navigators, we
were fain to admit, was a myth. Even
our narrow lane of water was closed
up again next morning. My compan
ion, with his intense arctic enthusiasm,
was in raptures, and could not suffi
ciently feast his eyes with the pano-
rama.’’’
SILENCE AND DESOLATION.
During October, 1882, considerable
snow fell, though this did not prevent
small parties from being on the hunt
almost gll the time to Cape Baird and
the Bellows for musk ox meat. Mount
Ovitus was also ascended, though this
was attended with much difficulty, as
it rises above the snow valleys and
diflk 2,600 feet. “There was,” writes
Sergeant Rice, “something in
the impressivo scene of
desolation spread around.
No sign of animal or vegetable life—
bare, desolate and chaotic: ‘a world
unfinished by the hand of its creator.’
and such silence 1 I am sure that ordi
nary quiet would have been an uproar
compaircd to*-that which surrounded
us. Eugene Aram should have l>een
transported by the poet to such a place
to give full play to his
mnHnlnnrn. M All l
. 1 study of a guilty
conscience.” All this while the sun
had been gradually curtailing its light,
and on October 1-) it disappeared for
136days, and in describing tliischange
the diary reads: “We all rushed out
at noon, and sure enough, ‘Old Sol’
only showed part of his disk for a few
moments, sprinkling the ice and snow
with silver and crystals, and then sank
lazily back in a beautiful glow of
warm, rosy colors. It was one of the
few glorious picture, voucltsafed the
arctic sojourner, but one which carried
with it too many shadows as we
thought of the night of months when
even the recreant sun leaves and is
away with our absent friends at home.
Then succeeded a soft, misty, pearly
twilight, merging a few hours later in
to darkness, and each day the twilight
decreased until, a week later, Jupiter,
Arcturus, Capelin and Alpha Gemino-
rum twinkled dimly at midday. In n
few days they wero joined by Mars,
Polaris, Vega, Castor and Pollux and
tfio Cyfhii."
CENTURY ICE.
A portion of the diary is devoted to
the trip made by Sergeant Rice, Dr.
Pavy and the Ksquimax when they
reachcdsFloclierg lleacu, the headquar
ters of the Alert in 1873-76. On this
. expedition Sergeant Rice met with
ice formations which under the appel
lation of "century ice,” was described
by Captain Nares and his officers. "It
is impossible,” says Sergeant Rice,
“to convey a true impression of the
character of the ice to the north of
Grinnell Land, for we have nothing to
which it can be compared. The gen
eral thickness of the floes was from fif
ty to seventy-five feet, as we could see
where an occasional abutment of the
uniform thickness was joined by new
or season ice on which we stood, and
found the level of the paleo-crystic
floe two feet above our heads. This,
without taking into consideration the
elevation of the new ice, and consid
ering only seven-eighths to lie sub
merged, would indicate a frozen sea of
Ice of over fifty foet in thickness. Yet
the abovo conveys no idea of the na
ture of tho surface of the ‘great irozen
-sen/ At!K>iU9seasons tlilg immense
„ ice field, tmdef the hiuUencd oi the
‘bun of endless summer days and tin-
action of the tides and currents, lias
become disrupted, and the immense
masses of the disintegrated pack were
hurled and jostled against one another
by the mighty force of storfhs and cur
rents. The collision of these gigantic
bodies has resulted in breaking the
edges of each, and in forcing the im
mense fragments upon the surface un
til tiro edge of each and every floe,
great and small, is fringed with an ir
regular chaotic rampart of ice brist
ling with pyramids, heaped in rounded
masses and piled in contusion. Around
tills nucleus of ice the eddying snow
has lodged, and alternately pressed
and melted by winter's storm and
summer's heat, adds its layer alter lay
er of icy coating until the original crys
tal block becomes almost a mountain.
The winter after the breaking up of
Dio pack again fetters it together with
icy bands. A paleocrystic floe of any
extent furnishes good traveling, rolling
and undulating like prairie land. Sack

HOW They Make Fortune, Out ot n Too-
Confiding Public.
Boston Globe.
“Do you sco that fellow over there?”
said a well known restaurant-keeper,
pointing across Washington street the
other afternoon. The speaker pointed
to a young man attired in a checked
suit, kersey hat, and light kid gloves.
“How should you imagine he makes a
living?”
“Well, possibly that he had a com
petency in his own right, or that his
parents were wealthy.”
“H’m! That man is a waiter, and a
lightv sharp one, too. I hired him
once.Wut hu was too sharp to suit me,
and I let him go. I do not believe he
works more than half the time, and the
rest of the time lie lives high and cuts
a swell.” * .
“How docs he manage it? anxious
ly inquired tho reporter.
' “Well, he’s what you may call a
professional champagne-waiter. He
makes a specialty of fancy halls, wine-
houses, and higli-toncd summer re
sorts—in fact, places where large
quantities of wine are sold. Why, I’ve
known of his getting as high as $1-25
for corks.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why, don’t you know ? Some wine
firms pay waiters in that way for push
ing their wines. The foreign manu
facturers and bottlers of champagne
have adopted a system cf branding
the corks with their names and the
quality of the wine in the bottle, and
if they are not bought for push
ing the wine they bring a good price
from manufacturers of domestic cnain-
S es, who use them to palm off mis-
e stuff on the unsuspecting public.
I’m told that Mumm’s agent has re
cently indicted no less than fourteen
manufacturers of domestic champagnes
for this offense. But that isn’t tho
only way that follow makes money.
He'lias other dodges.”
“For example?”
“Well, when he is waiting he inva
riably carries a Jules Munn cork in his
pocket. A guest calls for a bottle of
‘Mumm’s dry.’ He runs to the wine-
cgllar, gets a bottle of foreign or do
mestic wind which should not cost
more than one dollar, opens it in the
presence of the guest, and
places it, together with the extra
Mumm cork, on the table, easily
concealing the cork he has just drawn.
A glance at the cork satisfies the guest
•that it is all right—there is a good deal
of imagination aliout these things, you
know—and he pays $3.60 or $4 for it.
The waiter turns over $1 to the house
and pockets the difference. But he
reaps the richest harvest at fancy balls,
:h as the Arion in New York.
MAUD 8.'S FAST TIME.
Trotting Two Miles for Eierclae 4:24 1-2
—Inoh Mile Made In 2:12 1-4.
Cleveland, July 28.—Representa
tive horsemen and picked trotters and
pacers from seventeen estates and
Canada are here eagerly waiting the
opening of the Grand Central trotting
meeting to-morrow. The full list of
entries number eighty-six, including
many already famous in the history of
the turf, ami others that horsemen say
will soon bccomo known. A delega
tion of New York turfmen arrived to
day, with Mr. David Bonner, Mr.
France and other lovers of trotters.
Maud 8. has made some remarkable
performances here, not in efforts to
beat her record, as erroneously stated,
but simply while exercising and from
pure love of going. Captain George
M. Stone, who lias the mare in charge,
received an order from Mr. Vanderbilt
to-day to send Maud 8. to Saratoga
without delay. She is to be shipped
by rail to-morrow morning. This is a
great disappointment to horsemen here
who have watched her, and who ex
press tlie opinion that she is really
faster to-day than she ever was before,
and that if she should be really sent to
lower the record, she could do it wiDi-
out straining herself.
“I will show you what she did the
other day,” said Capt. Stone, taking
out his note book. “We gave her two
miles for exercise, wiiich she took witii
the utmost ease, going to the quarter
in the first mile m 32).j seconds, the
half mile in 1:03>,<, the three-quartere
in 1:36J,<, and the mile in 2:12J-4. She
reaclied the quarter on the second mile
in 32'i seconds, the half in 1:04, the
three-quarters in 1:3UJ 4 ', and the mile
in 2:121^, making the second mile in
exactly the same time as the first with
out turning a hair.”
Wm. Bair, who has driven the mare
in all her great performances, has re
covered his health, but ho is sick at
heart to think that the opportunity for
making another break in the record is
lost for tho present.
TIIE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8,1884.
Champagne flows there like water—
literally by thousands of bottles. Bar'
ties get into a box and order wine-
none but the best, of course. The?
get it at first, but how much
attention do you suppose they pay
to the brand they ate drinking after
they have hikl,a few glasses? None
whatever. The waiter supplies them
with bottle after bottle at $5 each—
miserable domestic stuff, which had
cost him at the bar perhaps a quarter
of that snm. He makes in another
way, too. Few people realize how the
curly-haired, wine-drinking ‘darlings
of 1 society’ are bamfoozled. ‘Two-
thirds over.’ they pay as little attention
to the number of bottles they have or
dered as they do to the brands, and it
is the easiest thing in the world for a
waiter to collect pay for a dozen or fif
teen bottles when only ten have been
ordered. That fellow I pointed out is
a worker when he's at it, and a bold
one. I lmvo not a daabt that he could
clear at a Licderkranz or an Arion bail
over $100. Do you wonder that he
dresses well?”
PROCRESS OF CREMATION.
A ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT.
Milton Smith Off With His Btlds
ThrouEh a Storm of Bullets,
Baku. Ky., Jnly 29.—A Tery sensa
tional elopement by members of two
families of the Blue Grass aristocracy
occurred Sunday night, bnt has just
come to light, haring been kept quiet
by those interested. Mrs. James
Thomas has been entertaining
Miss Su-io Weils, daughter of a George
town banker. • Among other guests was
Milton Smith, an employe of her
father’* bank. Snnday evening Mr.
Smith, Miss Wells, Miss Thomas and
a gentleman friend took a carriage ride
to'kfDlerabnrg. Reaching that place,
Mias Thomas was asked to go with
the party to Aberdeen. O., where Mr.
,-ntith and Misa Wells proposed to
marry. She refused, leaped from tho
1 arriago, procured a conveyance and
returned home.
Friends of Mia* Wells, with Mrs.
Thomas, procured a carriage and set
. it i. tmr-lit. Overtaking the elopers
,ifu*r .(.irk, about a dozen shots were
. V. hanged on each side, no one being
vomided, tie*ugli the hones were hit
several timer*.
Mrc. Thomas became frightened for
the result, and on her entreaties Die
pursuers abandoned the ehaad. The
eloping parties went on, and it is pre-
aomed were married at Aberdeen, Die
(. ream Breen of Kentucky.
Bom* Interesting Fnete from the Organ
of the Berlin Society.
Die Flammt is a monthly paper pub
lished in Berlin and devoted to the ad
vocacy of cremation at home and
abroad. Its July number gives a brief
summary of Die progress made by the
cremationists in America and Europe.
The Paris Cremation Society was
founded in 1880 and approved by tho
prefect of police on December 23 of
the same year. The third annual
meeting took place on January 9,1884,
and presided over ky tho mayor
of tlie seventh arondissement, M.
Knechlin Schwartz, who called tlie at
tention of those present to the dangers
that would attend the present form of
burial in case of epidemic disease
making its appearance. Tlie chairman
was coDimitsioned to apply to the po
lice authorities for permission to build
several crematories in each cemetery
of the capital, since both shove and
below the ground a corpse is tlie source
of emanation, poisoning the atmos
phere, for which evil cremations is tlie
only remedy. The dead after a battle
should be disposed of in the same
manner, os a vast number of rotting
corpses in a narrow space are almost
sure to breed disease. A bill provid
ing for tlie erection of crematories,
brought before the French Chamber of
Deputies, was supported by the illus
trious Bambctts, Ctsimir Perier and
Paul Bert, bnt a measure of this kind
takes time before it becomes a law and,
in a view of the possible appearun.
of tlie cholera, Die society desire
have a crematory erected as soon os
possible. The principal opponent ot
the plan is the famous Dr. Brouardel.
The Paris society numbers five hun
dred and seventy members.
In Denmark few of the cemeteries
comply witit sanitary demands. Dr.
Levtson, of Copenhagen, bos collected
statistics in one thousand six hundred
and fifty-two villages and one hundred*
towns. Nearly all tlie burial places
are in some cases only fifteen yards
away. Now and again tlie drinking
water in tlie neighborhood has been
poisoned by this contact. •
The Ixmdon Cremation Hociety was
founded in IH75. Its president is Sir
Henry Thomson. The society pur
chased in 1878 an estate at St. John,
in the county of Surrey, where a cre
matory baa recently been erected.
Tlie l’hiladelphia enrreapondent as
sures Die Flammt that cremation in
this city struggles against an ignorance
ami narrow-minded prejudice Diat
must be seen to be appreciated. “Not
only are the ministers of the gospel 0|>-
posed tons almost to a man,” writes
this gentleman, “but also those who
in any way derive a livelihood from
conract with the dead—managers of
cemeteries, undertakers and body-
snatchers, who derive a princely in
come from the sale of corpses, our
medical colleges often purchasing as
many as thirty-six in a week. The
San Francisco cremationint* are trying
to raise $25,000 to build sn oven, and
the New Orleans society hopes to be
able to have one in working order next
yiar.
Canned Food.
Times Democrat.
The civilized world is fast discerning
that the breakfast table is very dan
gerous. Since it has become fashion
able to adulterate food, we are now be
ing put to death with slow hut cumula
tive and fatal poisons. There are a
score of new x disoases that have sprung
suddenly into prominence, thanks to
the system rapidly becoming universal
of feeding poisons to us.
Another discovery is the danger often
lurking in canned goods. Canning is
an admirable institution, which ena
bles the country to enjoy the advan
tages of its different sections. It gives ns
the baked beans, cooked only aA Bos
ton can, alongside of the salmon
from Oregon and the slirimp from Lou
isiana. England lives almost wholly
to-day on canned, or, as it styles them,
tinned goods, and this mode of preserv
ing food is a special blessing the world
owes to the poor man, who can thus
buy his gumbo and his plum pudding,
almost ready for eating, at half of what
it would otherwise cost him. But, os
I)r. John G. Johnson, of Brooklyn, N.
Y., shows, in a recent publication,
there is danger in canned goods as well
as in staple groceries, if they have not
been canned properly, and he cites a
number of cases of corrosive poisoning
from canned tomatoes due to their de
fective preparation.
Dr. Johnson gives some very timely
advice to people using food prepared in
this manner, allowing how they can al
ways avoid any danger from it. His
first warning is to reject all cans not
bearing the namo of the manufacturer
or firm iqxin them, as well as that of
the town whero they were manufac
tured, for it is only the wholesale man
ufacturers who are oahamed of their
loods that refuse to pnt their names on
hem<
Kvery cap having two holes soldered
in it is dangerous and ahould be reject
ed. lteject all cans which do not show
the line of rosin around the edge of
the solder of tlie cap, as well as those
showing any rust on the inside of tlie
head.
Finally press np the bottom of the
can. If decomposition has begun Die
Dn will rattle; if Die goods are sound it
will be solid.
By simply hearkening to these warn
ings there will be no danger of any
poisoning from canned goods. A great
deal of this poisoning has lately oc
curred in New. York and has aroused
considerable prejudice against this
mode of preparing food. A bill to regn-
lat) the manufacture was bronglit be
fore the last Legislature of New York
and passe*! the Assembly, requiring all
canned goods to be stamped with Die
year Diey were packed, so as to pre
vent the pulilic irom being deceived
into buying old stuff that had become
worthless through age.
Instead of supporting
this kind, which would have complete
ly restored public confidence, the

Life.
Judge William Carter, of Sheboygan,
Michigan, and Judge Caswell Marks,
of Selma, Ala., were both natives of
Lexington, Kentucky. In boyhood
they had jammed the same cat’B head
into the same milk pitcher, stolen
peaches from the same tree, got
trounced by the same farmers, ami
wero otherwise enviously intimato
friends, afterwards chums at college
and then errand boys in the same office.
Later in life they parted, and rose to
sublime honors in their separate places
of business. During last .1 anuary they
mot for the first timo since their parting,
in Lexington, and brewed a convivial
bowl in honor of the event. About
midnight, fall of affection and enthu
siasm, they retired in the same bed.
It was a huge affair, standing in the
middle of the room, and capable of be
ing drawn up by ropes to the ceiling
while the room is being cleaned. It
was a very cold night, and they placed
their clothing open the foot of the bed.
Just after they fell asleep four friends
entered sofUy, drew the bed by tho
ropes nearly to tho ceiling, and left
them thus enpended about ten feet
from the floor. They then locked the
door outside and retired.
At 3 a. m., Judge Carter woke with
that Bpecies of thirst which usually
comes after Kentucky punch and tech
nically known as “hot coppers.” Leap
ing lightly out of bed to get tho pitcher,
he went whirling down ten feet,
alighting with a soul stirring thump on
all fours.
There was a long and painful pause.
Then he peered upward through the
darkness and called.
“Caswell 1”
[No reply.]
“O, Caswell!”
[Feeble cries.]
“Cuz!”
“Eh?—What?” The judge
awakening.
“I’ve fallen through a trap,” yelled
the now affrighted Judge: “Get up
and light a candle.”
“Where are you?” queried Judge
Carter, sleepily, framing his opinion
that his honorable brother was drank.
“Down here. Fell through a trap.
Don’t get out on my side of the bed.”
“AH right.” And Judge Marks,
Springing ont on his own side, turned
three somersaults and landed on the
small of his hack. B0U1 were now con
vinced they had fallen into a den of
thieves and were possibly to be mur
dered. The jokers had closed the
wooden shutters so no lightcould enter
and removed all the furniture. The
judges groped around on hands and
knees, nearly frozen to death, and only
at daylight discovered the bed, climbed
into it and got warm enough to talk the
thing over.
There were recently two temperance
societies started under glorious au
spices. The headquarters of one is at
Selma; the other at Sheboygan.

ternal Revenue issued on order providing
that on and after the 1st of September,

day U becomes due, and if not paid the
property will be distrained.

graphed that be would go to the city in
question to take Sulflvan'e place and ac

not trouble him ta come to Boston, but
would com* herself to New York. She
added that she would cover any deposit
that might be made. Thee* arrangements
were nndentood to have been in progress
yesterday. Should the matter come to a
satisfactory conclusion, it Is probable that
the exhibition will be given either in the
M adison Square Garden or the Academy of
