The Romance af the Aretle Disaster.
The disaster to the New Bedford
whaling fleet ia tae arctic sea remind
us that th haunts of the leviathan of
the ocean are mora inaccessible than
they were years sgo. When tbe BU
cayan began the fishery ia the twelfth
century the king of the arctic ranged
from Spitsbergen nearly o the equator.
When the Dutch and English em
barked in the basioem a century or two
later, tbe Bar of Biscay had ceased to
; be its babitat, and the affrighted mon
ster had beun it retreat through tbe
chilly water of tbe North Sea and the
North Atlantic to the forbidding locali
ties beyoad North Cape and Iceland -
where the ice floes grind and nap, the
icebergs reel and thunder, and the
white bear make its borne in the ever
Lasting snows. The whale, so vindic
tively pursued by the Eoglisb, Dutch,
Kuaaians, and Norwegians, made, in
time, a Sank movement, and appeared
in vast numbers along the eastern
shores of North America. It was
about this time that the Nantucketera
observed whale spouting and sporting
in the sea off shore, and one of them
said : " There is a green pasture
where your children' children will go
for bread." And this green field the
hardy cons of New England hve tilled
deligently from that day to this. It is
rclaieu mat tbe nret bowbeaa wnale
inBehriogSea was captured in 1843
In 1S17 they were discovered iu the
Uchotsk Sea. Tbe bowhead whale has
retired from ea to sea until he is now
at his " last ditch," it the north pole.
He appears disinclined to stop short of
tbe latitude of unmeltinr ice and snow.
In connection wilh the recent disaster
lo tbe New Bedford fleet, it is a lit'le
singular tbat just about a year ago
whalemen were on tbe lookout Lira
repetition cf the catastrophe of 1871,
when another fatal wind should bear
down with it icy coidon, and, with its
right wing resting on Icy Cape, sweep
the whole flotilla high and dry on the
low beach that fringes the northern
coaL The disaster, however, and un
fortunately, had happened a year later
than was predicted, although in a some
what dmcrent form, but with terrible
res" Its. Whalemen, it is said, note a
most remarkable change in ibe seasons
of the arctic zone. A few years sjro
they reached the whaling grounds some-
times in August, only to be obliged to
eave them early in September (as was
the case in the late disaster. Two
vcars ago they lingered into October.
and niiii.hl nave delayed longer so far
a peril from tbe ice-pack was cou
cerucd. They weut within eighty
miles of the mouih of the McKewzie
tiver, where sailing vessels, we be
lieve, never have been before; and it
was thought at tbe time that a steam
vessel, aided by tbe currents, might
have easilr gone through to Baffin's
from taa'ViVirAUawa; "ih'GS
solving tbe mystery of the northwest
pasaage. '
bualh's Bay is only tor ty-five miles
from where tbe crews of the recently-
abandoned ships were le.'i; and, as
there was an abundance of provisions
on board of tbe vessels, it is thought
by experienced New Bedford ship
mjstera, familiar with the coast, that
the men, having no fear of starvation,
wood and water being plenty, and the
shores lined wilh driftwood, and the
seal, deer, and sea fowl found in abun
dance, will worry through the ice to
8muh' Bay, where they may remain
in safely ujtil delivered from their un
fortunate condition by some vessel
sent there for the purpose ; but it is
pimsible that some of tbe officers among
ihe brave men may bring their ships to
port. In Isct there is no reason for
a'arm at all for those men who stuck
by their ships wilh their valuable car
fftv.Iiotton Globe.
Japanese Uarden.
Among tbe conifers will be noted
young plants of tbat Japanese species
wbieh may be seen under the wing of
the Japanese building, quaint pigmies
. f tue, not ihree feet high, yet over
s-eveuty year old. They are gr.arel
aid twisted as if tbey bad fought the
w .n.ls and caught their picturesquenes
ol firm as old oaks catch theirs by
battling wilh tempest and wintry
storms upou the hills. And yet these
d war led tree are thoroughly creatures
of art. By examining closely the speci
mens in the Japanese ground, you will
see trace of the dwarfing process. TLe
leading shoots have teeu clipped, or
bent downward ; the lateral branches
turned in and tied back ; lusty limb
twisted and wrenched into quaint pos
tures; mark of the tnrluriog-pins. and
band and cuts are still observable ; it
is a crippled dwsrf of a tree, made
quiot and picturesque by it rears ef
struggle against the toiis of the gar
dener. I there a compel sating beauty in
them? Not, surely, as we reckon the
beauty of planl gniwth. But consider
that th Japanese, in their horticul
tural sysees. hav office for such
dwarfed monarch a of wee to fill.
With them. to homestead is complete
wilbol i garden ; a few square rods
may be li at command : but this area
moat have it gardea -treatment ; and
l he garden are iod. Wd after nature,
.S- af (mountain and water) is the
term wbieh ia Jspapese describe the
gardenei's work. The aiat as within
however liaitd an are to present a

A Mangauese Mine that Beats Gold.
In Bartow county, near Cartersville.
W. P. Ward, the son-in-law of Judge
r. ratine, 01 this city, is running a ferro
manganese mine, which is the only one
ofthckindin the United States. On
one side of his furnace is the iron ore :
on the other a bed of manganese, the
richest and longest and purest, as Dr.
Little says, that can be found-on this
continent. Were he to mine the iron
ore atone, it would par him fill per
ton. lie adds sixty per cent, of the
manganese to ic, and sells all that he
can make at $160 a ton in gold. The
combination of manganese with iron,
gives the metal used in Bessemer steel,
and is exceedingly valuable. It has
been made heretofore almost exclu
sively in France, where it readily com
manded c400 per too. Manganese is
exceedingly rare, usually, but in Bar
tow county it is found in profuseness.
and in remarkable puiiiy. Mr. Miles
Dobbins, of this city, has an apparently
exbausties bed ot it. lhere is a net
profit of over $100 per ton on every ton
of it that is made. Dr. Little informs
us tbat there is enough manganese and
iron m Bartow county to manufacture
fifty tons per day of this precious ferro
rM)eftonorProu,Tfi!t7 tomftMrW
would gire $6,000 a day profit. This I
wouia wou'a oe one muuou ana a nan
dollars of profit in one year, or over
ninety millions in all that lies buried
as clear profit in the' one article
in the' one article 01
manganese in lartow county. Mr.
Ward is making only about one ton per
day at present, but he will enlarge his
facilities soon, and the manufacture of
this rare and precious metal may be
expected to grow rery rapidly as soon
as its existence baa become widely
known.
Photography.
It is, not very long since Mr. I. B.
1) am as, the eminent chemist, was elec
ed a member of the French Academy
to fill tbo place made vacant by the
death of the statesman and historian
Guizot. The following anecdote is re
'aled of him: One day a woman in
tears presents herself at hi house and
asks too see him. He orders her to be
admitted. "I am, sir," said this visitor
to him, "ihe wife of a painter who, a
victim to I know not what aberration,
has of a sudden broken his brushes,
and renounced his art, to gire himself
up to sterile researches in the domain
of chemistry. In s'oort, sir, you can
understand how unfortunate I am wben
I tell you that my husband is bent on
finding a process for fixing images on
plates of polished copper." Dumas
kindly listened to her and shook his
head.' "My poor husband ia losing his
senses; he is selling all that we-poaaees
to procure ingredients and hav appa
ratus constructeL" "But madame."
then seid tbe chemist, ""'in such circum
stances what do you expect of aae ? "I
have taken the liberty to apply tore u
a to the most authorized, moat learned
chemist of our time, to beg yon to un
deceive my uofort irate husband, whose
obstanacT, io rain researches, is reduc
ing us to tbe moat extreme poverty."
Mr. Dumas took the address of the
paint'-, and the woman departed.
Lt was be to do 7 Discourage 'this
set kef, as tbe petitioner requested of
him, it would, perhaps, render abortive
some great discovery. Let him pursue
hi labors without intervening a he
was ked to do; would not this be
coldly participating in tbe ruia of a
family? He went to tke paioursoo
the morrow aad said to him, Turue
your research c, and draw upon any
puree." The painter rrsnmed hi in
vestigations with fresh vigor, aad,
thanks to the geseroos aid of Da mas,
be found a bat be was necking; the
painter wa Dagner.e. Tbas it w eea
that Mr. Dumas, by hi lneadly and
timely aid, contributed ia a rery im
portant manner to the discovery af
photography.

High necked costumes for the street

collar is also added.
Newdolmasand sicaues.in drand'eta
and eicilienne silks, are much worn
for the demi-season wrap and are much

The princesses dress is an established

the query, "will the pnnccsse, or ga

put. It is an established fact.
Now tnat ; everything in the war of
dress must be so. rerr close, an abun
dance of underclothing is impossible;
consequently the "union suits." in me
rino bid fair to be in large demand.
Breakfast saques of bright colors are
worn again, alter ha wug been aban
doned so long for shawls. They are
made of cream white, cardinal red or
blue cloth prettily embroidered.
Basques that were made with hisru.
short shoulder seams look a little odd
now that the seams aro longer, mora
sloping, and further back that in seve
ral seasons past.
Cardinal red is the favorite color for
balmoral skirts this season. They aro
made of felt, and are trimmed with two
knife pleated frills, or else with threo
or four narrower ones pinked on each
edge.
The imported .evening dresses aro

materials, all of one tint, and are then,
trimmed with flowers and lace, Tho
trained skirts are usually of gros grain.
Figured goods arc finally pleasing th
popular fancy. Instead of plain black
cashmere polonaises that are most worn
are of basket worn or ether Fouare
figured black wool goods, while tho
small brocaded patterns are chosen for
rich silk and velvet overdresses.

How to Keep ltoequels Ir'reh.
There are rariou receipt fur keep
ing bouquets fresh. Some persons slick
them in moist sand ; some sail the water
in the vates, and others warm it; other. ;
again, nse a few drop or ammonia.
My rule is, to cool the flowers thorough
ly at night. When the long day of fur
nace-real ha made tbe rose droop
and their stems limp and Sifelcrs, I clip
