A member'of the Peary relief expedition, says it is doubtful whether there exists a more exhilarating sport than fighting the walrus. In tiger-hunting you kill your preyâ€"if he does not kill you firstâ€"and that ends it. In walrus hunting you kill your prey and then your trouble be- begins” It is easy enough to shoot your first walrus. He will lie on an ice cake along with his companions and allow you to come within a hundred feet, if you approach gently in a. small-boat. ’Ihen, raising his superb head until it offers the best possi- ble target for your bullets, be will regard you in silence, and you can plant ashot in his vulnerable neck, olf-hand. Then there will be flops on many neighboring ice floes, and flashes in the water, and loud, hoarse barkinge will ring out, and in a moment you will see something that will make your heart jump, even though you be experiegc- ed_in (iangex'. In all hunting you will not see a more terrible nor a more magnificent bit of action than the charge of a herd of walrus. When one of them is wounded they collect in gropps of twenty or thirty.‘ ‘I.,AI:_- Their large circular eyes: bright red in the sunlight, glare with hatred; their long, white tusks gleam fiercely, and. lifting their great heads high out of the water, dashing the foam away from their breasts with their swift motion, they rush upon you in a mass. If one gets his tusks over the gunwale of your boat your life is worth exceedingly little. A walrus weighs nearly a ton, and he is as strong in proportion. He may either tip your boat over or punch a. hole through it with his tusks; in either case you would fall into water so cold that you would not be able to survive five minutes, even if the walrus did not attack you. Flight from the charge is impossible ; the walrus can rush through the water much faster than you can row. YOU? only safe course is to shoot the leaders of the herd. Then the rest are encumbered by the help- less bodies of their comrades lying upon the water; the charge is broken; the walrus begeme confused and frightened; c Q! There is a. thébs dfbéafaa wildly bobbing up for a. moment, and then they halt, turn with one accord and flee. That is their method of fighting when they are assembled in numbers. When only two or three are gathered together they lack the confidence for a charge, but they pursue tactics that are just as exciting to those against whom their fire is kindled. They lift up their heads afar 05', and gauge the distance between themselves and your boat. Then they dive with much ungrace- ful exhibition of a black back and‘ flopping of broad hind flippers; The interval during which they are under water is not pleasant for you. Fortunatel) they do not often calculate their distance perfectly. Usually a great black head apgears ten or fifteen feet away from you. And you must be quite ready to shoot it with great promptness or it will disappear again and in a moment‘you will feel a scrap- ing upon the bottom of your boat and it will begin to rise bodily out of the water. That incident happened to us in our first walrus fight. Fortunately the walrus changed his mind about tipping the boat over and con- tented himself With raising one end of it on high and sliding out from under it. For his pains lie was instantly shot and harpoone‘d. i think there 18 no. one who was- in the boat. will Soon forget his sensations us it be- gan slogv1y_ t9 rise out of the water. We had five walrus hunts, and every member of our party, I think, brought on board the Kite at least one walrus head to his own rifle. Of all the five the most in- teresting was perhaps, one which occurred an hour or so after the first fight was over and while the two walrus that we had cap- tured were being skinned and skeletonized for the Academy of Natural Scxences. Two of the merhbers of the party had been in the first fight without rifles, and they were eager for a. shot at a walrus. Therefore, when a. black body was sighted upon an ice floe, these men promptly took the small boat and, With one of the ship’s crew, start- ed off after the animal. Threading their way among; the count- less small floes that are thrown off from the edge of the main pack and upon which the walrus lie, they came to the spot where the black thing had been seen. 'But there was no black thing there; it had been, not a. walrus, but a. seal, and seals are wary. Three more disappointed men Greenland did not contain. They held a council ; should they go back to the ship or not ‘2 A fog was coming up. forming a gloomy back- ground to one huge berg of a. ghastly white hue that was aground near by. 1‘ Fogs are even more dangerous in Green- land waters than elsewhere, for the echoes from the ice make it impossible to follow a. distant signal. A sudden noise decided the hunters - there was an unmistakable walrus bark lover by the berg. Silently but swiftly the sailor skulled the boat to- ward a. dark spot that now was visible on a. floe. As the impartial person of the three, he was to give the word to fire. The walrus raised his head, the word was given and the three shots rang out together. Nothing could have been neater. The walrus dropped instantly and lay dead upon the iee pan. They were swimming about in twos and threes and stretching their long necks high out of the water to see where the foe was lying. The prospect looked ticklish. But gradually the men worked the boat within range of a. floe upon which two great bodies were lying. One, a. magnificent gray fel- low, raised his huge head. It was too much, the sailor soulled rapidly around into a. good position, gave the word, the reports rang out, the walrus fell, then rose. Two more shots and he lay helpless on the ice. His companions disapyeared, as they usually do at the first discharge of a. rifle. ' Usually the slain. animals slide from the ice and then you must harpoon them at once or they will sink. To tow it to the ship would be impossible, for young ice was forming aquarter of an inch thick, and it was hard work to send the boat through without half a. ton of extra weight dragging astern. The sailor solved a. problem by taking up an ax that lay in the boat to he used in rebuking such walrus as should im- pertinently put their tusks over the gun- wale, and cutting off the animal’s head. That was a trophy for one man. The hunters wanted one apiece. There were more walrus on cakes ahead, but there were also more gathering in the water to avenge the death and decapitation of their friend. The Hm-eg‘lgéhti to thé'oars.

Tais rule is observed to a con- siderable extent on both our great Canadian roads, the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific, particularly with reference to em- ployees engaged in the operation of trains ; and the time is ra idly coming when sobri- ety will be generally insisted upon as a con- dition of securing any kind of a position in the railroad business. This is not because the railroad corporations are devoted to the conservation and promotion of moral inter- ests as such, but because they find it most advantageous to have their work done en- tirely by men who abstain from the use of liquors. Experience has shown them that employees who are given to “fanning the flame of friendship with the wing of convi- viality ” can not be depended upon for the correct and thorough performance of duty ; and thus a practical reason of conclusive force, apart from all considerations of prin- ciple and sentiment, is furnished for prefer- ring persons of difierent tastes and tenden- cies. The habitual drinker may be a man of intelligence and integrity, and yet not be trustworthy in relations and contingencies of serious moment. He is not the master of his faculties, but is at the mercy, more or less, of an insidious and demoralizing influence. on the ice. At that mqmqnt therefose over _,.‘I __j It is not the railroad corporations alone that are adopting the practice of discrimi- nation against men inclined to dissipation. There is a general drift in that direction in all forms of business. -It is not easy for a man to get employment anywhere without giving satisfactory assurances of temperate habits. That has come to be one of the best recommendations that he can bring; and in its absence, other qualifications do not count as he thinks they should. The records of defalcation, of costly negligence and of annoying mistakes are largely trace- able to the frequenting of saloons, and em- ployers understand the fact so well that they are constantly on their guard against the danger which it represents. They may not be temperance men in the strict mean- ing of the term; but they have learned that it is necessary to have sober men in their service if they expect their affairs to pros- per. There was a time when the drinking ,fault was tolerated in employee so long as they seemed to be industrious and faithful ; but nowadays it is looked upon with dis- favor, no matter how many attendant virtues may plead for its extenuation. A great change has been gradually taking place in the views of all business men upon the subject of tippling, not because of the appeals of the temperance apostles to their consciences, but by reason of what they have i observed in their daily transactions. They Hook at the matter in the light of self-in- ' terest, and their good sense tells them that sober employes are not only most desirable, but really indispensable. The lesson is one that young men can not afford to disregard. It is to the effect that sobriety, like honesty, is the best policy, considered merely in a material aspect and without reference to any higher motive or interest. If they wish to obtain steady and lucrative employment, with chances of promotion and pronounced success, they must keep away from the saloons and establish a reputation for temperate habits. They may not see any harm in what is call- ed moderate drinking, but other people do, and those other people include the em- ployers whose good opinion is a source of direct and positive benefit. It is a great mistake to suppose that the best situations can be secured or retained by men who are known to be addicted to the use of liquor even in a casual way. Total abstinence is the only wise and profitable practice in the case, and no man is able to do the best for himself by any other. It is one of the rec- ognized tests of fitness for places of trust and responsibility. The prizes in busines are not for the dissipated, however bright and energetic they may be, but for those who resolutely shun even the appearance of a fondness for strong drink. It pays to be sober, in short, and that is an argument of practical force which is unanswerable by any sort of reasoning. The moralists are not always listened to when they talk of the evils of intemperance, because they are too apt to dwell upon the emoticnal features of the matter and to overlook those of a more rational and effective nature. There can be no doubt about the fact that sobriety is a surpassing advantage from a pecuniary point of view; and thus the logic of business is in reality one of the, strongest influences in favor of the temperance cause.

Three Sailors Rescued From a Norwegian Shipâ€"They Killed and Devon-ed One of Their Companions. A despatch from Hamburg ssys:â€"-The three seamen from the Norwegian ship Thekla, who were rescued and were landed here by the Danish barque Herman, were rendered insane by their sufferings in the rigging of the foundering vessel. Two of them recovered sufliciently to tell the story of Theklu’s voyage. She was in heavy weather, they say, from December 2nd, when she left Philadelphia. Her decks were flooded almost constantly. The deck houses and rails were swept away, and the steering apparatus was broken. Then, when it was found that there was no hope of bringing the ship into port, the master mate, and eight members of the crew got away in a boat. The other boats had been smashed by the waves before they could be lowered. Nine men were obliged to remain in the rigging. They' were unable to get food from below, and five of them made in- sane by exposure and privation, jumped overboard. The other four remained aboard from December 22nd till January 7th, the day of the rescue. 0n the thirteenth day lots were drawn to determine who of the four should be killed and eaten. The lot fell twice in succession to a Dutch sailor and he was strangled and devoured raw by the other three. The only drinking water the seamen got was the dew they licked from the ropes.
