The Ice-Bound Whalen. Twelve whale-ships, eight of them huiling from New England, two from Ban Francisoo, and two from Hawaii, are floating in the drifting Ice of the Northern Ocean, borne no one knows whither, but to a fate which may be easily imagined. If the good vessels wore utterly abau doned to the winds, waves und ice to be buffeted to pieces, one couk i almost feel a touch of sympathy for the sailorlesss craft ; but when we re alize that fifty or sixty men are wait ing on board the destruction which they are powerless to avert, mere sentimentality Is forgotten in natu ral grief. Out of a fleet of fourteen ships that rendezvoused off Point Barrow, the northernmost cape of Alaska, about the first of August, only two escaped disaster. In the statement published by the masters of the lost vessels the story of their misfortune has been briefly but graphically told, and there is no need of repeating it. The picture of theships caught in the drifting ice on the 24th and carried aimlessly away to the northeast is one that only such a pen as Poe's could describe in all Its dreary hor ror. The council of the masters, the examination of their stores, the dis covery that there were not provi sions sufficient for a long winter, the resolution to abandon the ships on the sth of September, ihe fearful jour ney over the treacherous ice through a blinding storm for four days, to tne vessels that bad remained in safety at Point Barrow, the subsequent vi cissitudes and disasters of the party, and their final rescue—all these things have the weird interest which attaches to Arctic adventure hanging over them. But the imagination leaves those who escaped at the threshold of safety and returns to those who refused to abandon the vessels and those who turned back disheartened to them, after attempt ing the journey through the ice fifty or sixty men caught by nature in ner fiercest mood and among her wildest solitudes, and borne away to Inevitable destruction. How slowly but steadily the great forces closed in about them! How grimly the sea, the ice and the wind dragged their victims beyond the reach of succor, and how they have heaped barrier after barrier in the path to safety. In some way or other man has had so many bold encounters with the powers of nature in the Northern Ocean that we in- stinctlvely personify her as an oppo nent to be met ana overcome, and the impulse to grapple with her and dispute her prey springs up as we think of the poor whalers drifting off into the unknown sea about the Pole; The idea is doubtless a vain one, and yet we cannot help hoping that the abandoned vessels, or at least one or two of them, may get wedged into solid ice and remain for a while unbroken. The ships were provisioned for .three months, and those who escaped did not take more than one month’s provis ions with them, so that an abundance of food was left behind for the men who were deserted. Most of them are said to be Kanakas, but if they have a few Americans as leaders it is possible that they may make even yet a gallant struggle with nature for the mastery. Since there is such possibility of a protracted effort for safety on their part and a probabil ity of prolonged suffering, would it not be well to make some attempt, however hopeless the task may seem, for a rescue. The lives of the sail ors left drifting in the Northean sea may be of little intrinsic worth, but the humanity which should prompt the effort to succor them and the heroism which should carry it out would be priceless.— N. Y. World. The Higher Civilization. Mrs. House shot her husband, the divorce lawyer. One of the brothers, Brad House, came on to New Jersey to get evidence to hang the murder ess. He fell in love with her and wanted to marry her; but she seemed to think it not altogether decorous, so soon after killing his brother Or son. Another brother fell also in love with the charming widow, but there was a little obstacle in the way, as he had a wife already. She there fore advised him to study theology and Come out as a preacher of right eousness. The sisters of the mur dered man also fell in love with the fascinating murderess, and although they did not propose marriage like the two brothers, Brad and Gerrit, they wrote her sweet letters, and one of them staid in jail to comfort her. Here is what she wrote about the loving sisters to Gerrit House: “I got a kind letter from Cettie and Tirzah, (Orson’s sisters,) and I see they wish, as you, that I should ce ment our relationship by an addi tional union with your family. I thank all for their proof of love and . confidence, if it really is, as you say, your heartfelt wish that you also would marry me, and have no fear; it is a flattery I fear Kate f Gerrit’a wife) won’t appreciate in you.” ‘Cettie has no rest or comfort—all she did get was when she was in jail with me sleeping on my cot beside me with bands holding mine. She kissed my hands over and over again, Gerrit; so you know she did not blame; but I want you, whatever comes, not to give way to grieve. Re member lam able to bear anything myself—that is from Orson’s life to death apart; It is sweet to know it is from him.” Our late enemies boast of their ‘‘higher civilization,” and while we will notacknowledge that it is higher, we will admit that it is different. We don’t believe that anywhere in the South two men could be found will ing to propose marriage to the mur deress of their brother, especially if one of them was already married. Nor could two sisters be found who would caress the hand red with the blood of a brother.—Gen. D. H. HilCs So uthem Home. Eight Miles Square of Fire. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) In Saline county Nebraska, on the 17th inst., a prairie lire burned a sec tion of eight miles square nearly clean, destroying outhouses, stables, a number of dwelling houses, agricul tural implements, hay, and grain in stack and corn in field. On Swan creek the wife or Peter Oleson, a Swede, was burned to death. She saw the prairie fire approaching and ran for broken ground, but stopped to let the hogs out of the'pen. She fell exhausted just before reaching the plowed ground. When found the body was burned to a crisp. A wo man and her children, names not given, were burned to death on pring oreek. The fire was stopped by Turkey creek, or it might nave been much more extensive. TAILOKIX6. The FALL FASHION PLATES dis play many handsome STYLES, which I am now making up to order.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the “well to do’' sort, aud some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost le*el position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive a**whon first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cnltivate. $200,000 Worth of Dry Goods, Notions, Clothing Hats, Boots, Shoes, Ac.

THE MORNING NEWS, SAVANNAH, GA. / - - I' m Ia ( gt i WEIS' “Vi viv iSI THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1876, WHICH includes National, Bt*te and county elections, and which will undoubtedly be the most active and hotly contested of any since the memorable canvass of 1860, is now fairly opened. The Na tional Democratic Party will this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those principles which are vital to the prosperity of the Republic and essential to the well-being of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, the people in Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments. In Florida the campaign promises to be unusually vigorous, aud there is a probability that for the first time since the war the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Democratic Btate Government. In these cam paigns the people of the Bouth are deeply inter ested; and ever* intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his country aud his section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail of the great work of redemption and reform that is now going on. To this end ho should subscribe to and assist in circulating the ftavannali Wopn*nrNew, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro nounced opinions and fearless in their expres sion; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best daily in the South. * editorial de partment is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent, while its news and local departments are marvels of industry and completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a mere barren summary of events transpiric in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely, and racy. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to furnishing the readers of the MORNING NEWS with the latest intelligence ;rom all parts of the world, through the press dispatches, special tel egrams, and by means of special correspondence; and through these agencies the paper will be the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident of the political campaign of 1870.
