The third expedition from New York to the Arctic regions is now nearly in readiness to sail on its benevolent mis- sion. The two vessels purchased for the purpose have not yet named, but Fave been strengthened and otherwise repared for Northern service. The jargest is known as the bark “Eringo,” registering 328 tons, and was purchased for $17,000. _ Her consort is a propellor of 250 tons, which cost $30,000, and will arrive here ‘rom Philadelphia in a day or two. The former is now receiving her provisions and stores, and will be com- plete this week. Both are expected to sail by the Ist proximo, steering direct for the coast of Greenland, and continu- ing northward to Smith’s Sound. * * > * * * We yesterday visited the naval station at Brooklyn, ard were pleased to learn that the Secretary of the Navy and of- ficers of th: yard are disposed to fit out the expedition in the best possible man- ner, and take a deep interest in its pro- gress and success. The orders are that it shall be amply provided with two years’ rations, and which with the ex- tras will suffice for a cruise of fully three years. The provisions in preparation consist chiefly of “‘pemmican,” or con- centrated meat, besides soups, Borden's patent meat biscuit, lime-juice, (anti- scorbutic,) pickles, &¢. 1 he supplies will include something like 20,000 pounds of dried mcats and Soups, and 15,000 pounds of preserved vegetables. The provisions for officers and sailors will be of the same quality. The ‘“pem- mican” is the same erticle with which the Kane expedition was provided, and a sample for examination, after being kept for two years in this warm climate, was recently examined and found to be as sweet and nutritious as when put up. The quantity of beef required for this ex- pedition was 4,000 pounds, rump pieccs, which, upon being divested of fatty por- tions, were cut into thin steaks, taken to a melt-kiln and thoroughly dried. By th 5 process, its weight was reduced to 1,300 pounds. It was then chopped fine by the apparatus employed by sausage- makers, kneaded up with 1,000 pounds good lard, with a smaii addition of sugar and currants. Then being hermetically sealed in tin cans, it is in shipping or- der. Tho vessel wilkalso take-out a large supply of clothing adapted to a northera climate. Among other things, 500 pairs of stockings have been pro- vided. In traveling on foot, it is cus- tomary to wear three pairs at a time, and cover the whole with canvas boots. We were shown at the shops at the Navy Yard, 70 ice anchors, of different sizes, to be used in anchoring the vesse!s, or warpivg up through the lanes of ice They arc litile else than angular hooks, to be sunk in hols drilled in the ice, Some weigh as much as 70 or 80 pound. but the majority are of about 15 pounds weight. In addition there are 10 sludges, four of whith are about 11 feet in length, to be drawn by dogs or with ropes. They are sharp at each end after the pattern adopted by the British Admiralty, and ere shod with iron. Ia excursicns over the ice, they wili be manned by an officer and six men. The bark, ac fitted for sea, is worthy of examination. Without, the hu!l is covered with 24 inch planking, and armed with iron from the bows to the main chains. Forward she is completely sheathed, from the bulwarks to the keel. Within, timbers, knees and kelsons have been mtroduced, to effectually protect her from collisions with icebergs, or from lateral pang The bows especially, are filled with timbers, and divided off into a water-tight apartment. The rud- der is so arranged that it can be instantly unshipped, and triced up under the stern. The vessel is also furnished with four pumps ; so that every possible precau- tion secms to have been taken to insure her safety. The officers’ quarters are completely lined with cork, to absorb moisture, and the seamen are well pro- — for = a — on deck; or should they prefer, they have sn uarters below. The ook isa os aoe vessel, having made two trips to Rio, and is « fast sailer. The number of men going out on this expedition, will be forty- seven, including four officers to each ves- sel. Contrary to anticipations, not the least difficulty is experienced in procur- ing men, and of the best quality. Many good seamen are out of employment, from the return of recent government vessels and the inactive state of the ship- ing business, and the expedition will supplied with a personnel of rare ex- cellence. Only two have been accepted from those who went out on former ex- peditions, though several have cffired. As fast as accepted, they are put on board the receiving-ship North Carolina. Only one officer and the physicians re- mnain to be selected, though none have as yet been formally appointed. The list now stands as follows: Lieutenant H. J. Hartstene, formerly commander of the steamship [llinois, to command the expedition. Lieutenant Charles C. Simms, to com- mand the tender. Passed Midshipmen—Watson, Smith, Wm. S. Lovell, Joseph P. Fyffe, and First Assistant Engineer, Harman Newell. One of the surgeons is a younger son of Judge Kane, of Philadelphia, Dr. John K. Kane, who joins in the search for his brother. Mr. Lovell was one of the offi- cersin the expedition under Lieutenant De Haven.

It was called Campagnette, and as he had lived there for ten dispensing great hospitality, the place was well known, and many went to see it. The visiters were surprised to find, in the midst of 2 beautifal collection of rare and exotic plants, a very nt sum- mer-house, which served as the home of al number of monkeys, of all varie- ties. Each monkey had his especial niche in this little house, and above it was written bis name, and the date when he became the inmate of C, le. The names were all familiar, such as Edouard, Hortense, Clotilde—two or three dozen of them at the least. The monkeys where included in the sale. One day a visitor asked the proprictor, who chanced to be there, what haa been his fancy to have this menagerie, and why he had mace it the ornament of his garden. «« Ah,” said he, “ these are my family. [ lodge them out of gratitude. There are also some friends; relations would not have been sufficient. This great villain who is grinning so, is my Uncle Fran- cois. This little black-looking one, who is cracking the prune, is my Cousin Emily. This very droll one, who twists his tail so actively and upon that branch, is my last passicn. She is called Helpis. Ah! it makes me sad when I look at these poor creatures. The experience of my life is there. The key to this mystery was at last given. Each time that a relative or friend of Monsicur de C—— failed to keep his word, or, in his estimation, committed any one of the pecadilloes to which friends and relatives so. often plead guilty—such as a lie, an equivocation, a betrayal of confidence, or the like—he bought a monkey, placed it in his mena- gerie, and made it the namesake of the offender. “In ten years,” ssid Monsieur C—, “T have had twenty-nine monkeys. All of my relations are there, except aunt Aid my grandmother. As to ny friends, two only are absent. Neveriheless, I ave prepared their niche for them; in @ year or two, at the most, I shall have ali my friends and relations caged.” Genexovs Frvguiry.—It is generally known that not long since was consumed the railroad bridge at Painesville, Obio, which es a viaduci across the deep valley at that point, passes the immense travel and treflic of the South Shore line of reads. The fire took place in the night. The bridge was at points 80 feet high— at its eastern abutment it was 40 feet high. While the vast crowd collected at the depot was discussing and bewailing the celamity, a man, engaged in trarel- ing the road, named John Casement, hurriedly dewanded a lantern. One was found snd lighted, and snatched by Case- ment, who ran down the bank into thc valicy, and disappeared. He ran nearly a mile to the short curve bey. id the eastera end of the ruined bridge. There he took his stand, and. emptying his pockets of letters, newspaper scraps, and other paper, he lighted them and waved them in the air. Casement knew that two freight trains were coming from the east. Svon their lanterus blazed on the track. He signalled them again with burning paper. The engineers did not The man’s paper was exhaused. With ready wit he drew a linen bandkerchief from his cket, and set ita blaze and waved it. The engineers saw the warning and heeded it just in time te save their heavy train from plunging off the 40 fect abut- ment into ruin.

Snavine at Sgs.—Horace Grecley, the editor of the New York Tribune, in a characteristic letter giving an account of “« Life at Sea,” thus speaks of a tonsorial operation performed upon him : “JT got one extra glimpse of sca life, by reason of the lack of @ barber, on the Asia in common with all the Cunarders. Unschovled in the art tonsorial, [ had gone unshaved more than s week, and met the remonstrances of friends with a simple averment that what they urged was impossible. In this I was at length overheard by a seaman on deck, who in- terpleaded that if I would follow him I should be speedily and satisfactorily ren- dered beardless. I could hardly back out, so I followed him into the ship's forecastle, took my seat on a rough bench without a back, whereupon a rougher tar, with an instrument which he seems to have mistaken a ago rformed the operation required, an aimee @ quarter therefor without grumbling. 1 did not offer him more, for my face was smarting at the time; but the sights and smells of that forecastle were richly worth a dollar.” To Destroy Rosa Bues.—The Buffalo Republic says: When the rose bug first makes its appearance, sprinkle your bushes profusely with the pollo of the flower of the Alanthus tree, or pour upon the bushes, through a wateri astrong decoction of the same.
