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 floes wc hsd n et in Robeson channel, where they bad drifted comparatively intact, bat from oar outlook nothing similar could be aeen.’^H chambacne waiters. 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.

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 A Kentucky Temperance Lecturer. 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. ■ trangth, and tho blood is purified.
