Ivan Pctroff, epcciaragcnt of the consnii bureau for Alaska, completed hit work in thc field last Soptonibcr and reached Waahing- toji. Mr. Pctroff is the Rcnttoman who last year made a journey of ROOD miles in Alaska and among tho Aleutian islands, 2500 of which was through a portion ol Alaska never before penetrated by civilized man. The journey made for the census bureau, stud was ont rely successful. The islands and the western portion of the peninsula of Alaska, as far east as Cook's inlot.

were oxamined.r and tho data required for tbo census publications wore secured. For lost summer's work Mr. Petroff planned to take thc work at Cook's inlet, whore ho loft it tbo previous season, anil make his way along tbe coast toward tho east to Hitka. In thii he was only partially aucccssful, and for very good reasons, an the following story of his will show: Having collected his supplies at tho island of Eodiak, he set sail in a schooner early in tbo season for the northern ahore of Cook's inlet. Tho vasMl had been out only about an hour when she struck upon a sunken roef, not marked in any chart of tbe locality, speedily filled and sank.

Her cargo, including his property, was a total lorn. The passengers and crew were rescued and returned to' Eodiak, where a now outfit was procured, and after a short delay a second and more successful attempt to reach the main land was made. Btr. Petroff and party made their way along tho northern coast to Cook let to and around its hoad, a distaice o( about 100 milei, and then struck out overland for Prinoe Williams' sound, carrying his canoes and sappliss. This portage has only once before baea made.

The region is one of the most inhospitable and repellant on tbo earth. Two large glaciers, eight and the otber fifteen miles wide wen crossed, tbe pasaage being one great difficulty and many dangers. One of tiese glaciers, the smaller, reached and ter- the other had formed trn-social roiiei-rn in our marino corps. Nobody sceuiH to think of tho niariuo ceptnenatnr MrPliorson, of New Jursry. i who is to think of The marine crops needs snme conapienmiB, intelligent thought -some dccifive, action, tnn.

Evidence that he baa novcr served in tha ranks or performed other labors of a degrading sort. This idea ia founded npon observations as to tha character and efficiency of tho marine officer of Washington socity. The marine officer wears corsets, and partu his hair in tbe mid- dlo. IIo also has a peligrao and sword. He carves out bis career with tho pedigree.

I was talking with a sergeant of marines the other day. Ho was a very intelligent fellow, and wore the stripes of long sorvice. I suggested that it was about time ho got bis opanlettes. "Wha-at!" he exclaimed, "lion don't seam to know much about us. Why, there bas not been a promotion from tho ranks in the marine corps for twenty-nvo years!" I was so much impressed with tho netisof hie case aahe stated It, that the subject provoked inquiry.

My conclusion is that not only is tbe sergeant's statement true, bnt that in our marine corps wo have an exclusive organization without a parallel in any monarchy iu Europe. The influence of social ll(o in Washington and other cities has successfully resisted every attempt to inject a little democracy into the corps. As applicants aro examined by a board of marino and these officers are tho representatives of tho corps, admission is wholly a (matter of taste with them. Continual life in barracks bas mado these officers simply members of an aris induced to make an Sunday morning in 1858 he wont to tbo Tlur teen street depot, whore the -ar lay, and Mr. Wagner explained it" construction to him.

The old man wan in attendance at tbe dopot when tbo train arrived, with tho old horse in the do- livery wagon to convey bis daughter and her trunk to thc house. When the train stopped, a botwilching array of dry goods and a wide brimmed hat dashed from thc car and flung it- sulf into the elderly party's arms.

No two aro allowed in the nginu block at tut' sarno time, and the telegraph is in perpetual requisition. We line torpedoes to stop a train coming after another." The fact about tho New York accident was that a mail-car which had boon running from Chicago worri out ono of the plugs on the auxiliary air-reservoir, which released tbo spring break and caused the stoppage of the car. Tho air-chamber tben had lo lx tapped, so as to take tbe pressure off tho brakes.

At that season of the year there was a continuous noise like thunder caused by avalanches of snow and ice front tho high mountains on each side of the glaciers. The comfort of the travelers was seriously interfered with by numerous accidental icewater baths.

In the meantime there aro of men in the ranks who stand no chance whatever of promotion beyond the grade ot sergeant-major. Many of the first sergeants and noncommissioned officers of the corps have served for twenty consecutive years, and some even longer, but In all these years oo commandant of the corps has dared to violate his social obligations to his brother snobs by ever recom-.

mending ono of them for a Hen tenancy. It is well enough to call the attention of congress to this, now that the preaent commandant, who holds tbo rank of colonel, is pushing for a brigadier-general ship. Tuis military martinet hedges himself about at his own in the most ridiculous style, and tho man wbo might slap General Sheridan on the back, couldn' got into tbo inner office of the boss marine. He (or a chief clerk his own son, $1100 a There aro now in tboaorrn 2 colonels, two lieutenant-colonels, i majors, captains, 90 first nontenants. 14 second lieutenants, and on the retired list a colonel, a lieutenant-colonel, majors, 3 first lieutenants and 3 second lieutenants.

There is also a quartermaster, ad. utant, Inspector and paymaster, with rank major, and two assistant with the rank of captain. There arc 1500 enlisted men to all these officers, or an officer to every IS men on the rolls. On active doty there are about seven men to each commissioned officer. Of these seven, fonr are privates.

We have then In actual service about this proportion: One commissioned officer, throe non-commtislonod officers and fonr privates. Tbe man who holds tbe commission drawn more monoy than all the rest together, and does less than any ono of them. But (ho commissioned marine his duty, which to hold up the tail end of some old family name and draw his salary.

I will not say tho' were degenerate sunn of distinguished sires, because some of them are doubtless worthy descendants of their ancestors; but there are a good many worthless follows in a lump under tbo uniform of the marine corps. Under tho present system tho latter are constantly increasing. Tho whore merit is black- hailed and where social anil political influences have undispnted sway, cannot be other than most pernicious.

"Hey?" returned the old man, with a puzzled air, "quite excessively beyond whatV" "Ob, no, pa, you don't understand me," thp daughter replied; "I mean this wagon and horse. Do yon think they aro you think they could be studied apart in the light of a symphony, or even a tingle poem, and appear as wtancely otter to one on rutorn- ing home one conld express?" Tha old man twisted uneasily in bis neat and muttered something about he believed it used to be an express bofora ba bought it to do- liter pork in, bnt thc conversation appeared to be traveling in sach a lonesome direction that he pitched tbe hone a resounding crack on tbe rotunda, and tho severe jolting over tbe frozen ground prevented farther remarks. "Oh, there is that lovely and consummate mat" screamed the returned collegiate, they drew up at the door, and presently she was IbsHn Ihe embrace of a motherly woman in "Well, Maria," said tho eld man at the supper-table, he nipped a piece of butter off the lamp with bis own knife, how'd you like your school?" "well, there, pa, you'reshou--I mean I consider it far too beyond," replied the daughter. "It is nnquenchably Ineffable.

The girls aro so sumptuously stunning--I mean grand-so intense. And then tho parties, the balls, tbo rides--oh, tbe past weeks havo been one sublime harmony." "I s'pose so--I s'pose so, nervously assented tho old man, as ho reached for his third cup. "half about your books-- readln'. wrltin', grammar, rule o'threo-- how about them?" "Pa! don't!" exclaimed tho daughter ro- proachtnlly, "the rule of three! grammar! It is French and music and painting and the divine in art that hava my school life the bos--I mean thai have rendered It one unbroken flow of rhythmic bliss--Incomparably and exquisitely all but." The grocery man and his wife looked helplessly at each other across the table. After a lonesome panee tho old lady said: "How do yon Hko the biscuits, Maria?" "They are too utter for anything," gushed thc accomplished young lady, "and this plum preserve is simply a poem iu itself." The old man rose abrubtly from tbe table and wen out of the room, rubbing bead in a dazed and benumbed manner, and the mass convention was dissolved.

That night ha and his wife sat by tho stove, alone nntit a late hour and at the breafast table next morning he rapped smartly on his plate with the handle of his knife and remarked: me an' your ma have been talkin' the thing over, an'we've come to tho conclusion that this boardin' school business too utterly ail bnt too much nonsense. He and bcr consider that we havn't lived sixty odd consummate years for tho purpose of rasin' a curiosity, an', there's goin to be a stop pnt to this unquenchable foolishness. Now, after you've finished eatin' that poem if fried sannsge an" that symphony of twisted doughnut, you take an' dust up stairs in loos'n two seconds an' peel off that fancy gown and put on a cnlikcr, an' then come down here an' help your mother wash dishoe. I want dlstinctlv understood fare, for instance, front Now York to Albany was By charging extra toll on the bridge at Albany, which waa made a separate corporation, and by making np nearly the whole train of Wagner cars so as to forcp wople into them, the fan was run up 40 or CO -wr cent.

Pullman about- ttio invention of (I think he told mo that Wagner and Woodruff were the two of American etraping-csrii, and that one of Mr. Pullman's follow towmmien in western New York, whora they were born, by the name of Ben Field, was Albany to lobby through the amendment to the Jfow York allowing them to make an extra 'charge parlor and sleeping-cars. For tlm work MJ. Field had received thc right to put some Ing-cars un the Lake Shore railroad, where they woiu a failure. He then made a contract io put them on two of tbe.

railroads west Of Chicago, and he asked his old friend Pullman, who wss-tbon in business in Colorado, to lend him some money and take for it tbe car inter- eft on one of the railroads, giving Field tbo whole Interest in the other, Iu this way Field accumulated enough money to be comfortab upon till his death, and do (something for IT.B family. It was a considerable time after thU before Mr. Pullman turned his attention to tha reconstruction of tha sleeping-car sytitem. He built a car called thc "Pioneer," which is still running, and her cabinetmaker Hill Mr. Pullman's superintendent, bin name being tiongstreet.

He made his oar framo wide and high, putting in tbo upper berth, which in still used In all sleeping-cars; but it wax necnsaary to change some of tho bridges and platformo on the railroads. The Company nses several of Pullman's patents. In tbe original sleeping-cars a whole berth at either end of the car had to bo occupied with, thc redding. Finally, the Woodruff people sued Pulhnan for Infringement of patent, and that led to the consolidation of all the sleeping-car interests except W-agner'n her sitting on fourteen eggs.

In tha Bella Union at that time might been seen a man about fifty years of age, rather above the medium bight, with a refined, intellectual and rather sad forehead high, broad and white; gray, neatly combed and rather lone hair; white cravat and black suit This individual presided-with quiet and un-r ruffled dignity at the verjr.istere«ting but baffling enigma known as fttis tigrif. The courteous gravity with which he witnessed the fluctuations of tho game, and tho uniHsJI teped serenity of his benign features, loss or high success, was always a study for tho physiognomist and observer of human nature.

One afternoon, a. grave looking man, and clerical in appearance, stopped in MB stroll through the crowded saloon--all the games were very busy that afternoon--in front of the closely snrrnnndod table, where sat dealing the curd, ho, so long onr study, So much absorbed was be in the complication of tho stakes, piled up BO heavily on, and between, and at the corners of every card on the green cloth, that be never once raised his eyes higher than tba hands that placed the stacks of coin, or "chips," in their respective places. Now, the deal being out, and a fresh shuffle and oat finished, and the pack slid within the little silver' box (bigger with fate than ever was Pandora's), our urbane friend leaned back for a moment in his chair, awaiting tbe movements of the players. Happening to raise hie eyes, he looked upon the clerical-looking gentleman, whoxe earnest gaze, had, from the moment of his halt at the table, fixed upon the lace of the all-unconscious deUr. A keen observer might have detected a (light start, and sudden but faint flush upoc the face of the grave arbiter ot chance; but it waa scarcely discernible, and tbe next moment the if ace was placid and self- possessed as nsnal.

the deal was finished, the dealer rani? bell which stood always at his band, and spoke qnietly to thc attendant servant, who quickly disappeared, and and soon returned with a pale impassible-faced man, of slight, delicate figure and hands thin, small, blue-veined as those, of a lady. Without any communication save a direct glance into tiie eyes of the retiring he sat down, took a drawer in the table a new pack of cards. from the first stole all they conld lay their bauds.on. After a time they began a series of annoyances calculated to provoke their visitors, with a view to putting them to death and thus securing everything. Tbe interpreter wu a cowardly follow and one day gave up to the chief, upon his demand, Kr.

Petroffs breeoh-loading rifle. Tho chief flrad off the chambers of tbe ptoce-and brought it to the owner to be loaded again. He took it, and, pretending to load it, managed to put the main spring of the lock out of place, rendering the piece unserviceable. The chief was greatly enraged and hostilities became more imminent. Asborttimo afterwards the chief demanded Mr.

Pat-raffs tent tor his own use, which request was firmly refused. Thereupon the Indians sent off all their women and call drou--a most ominous proceeding and one which was interpreted as a sure foreboding of bloody work--at least in Intention. The traveler determined to postpone no longer his attempt to escape. All tho largo canoes fit for seagoing had been sent away; but the case was a desperate one, and the captive secretly selected the best of those remaining and noted tbo place of its concealment. After cooking and eating their supper the two men retired to their tout as usual and tied down tho flaps in front.

Mr. Petroff drew his knife and cut long slit in the back and directed tbe interpreter to load himself with such supplies as he could carry and go ont. The fellow's heart failed him, and it was only by drawing his pistol and threatening to blow his brains out that Petroff secured obedienco. Tho escape was mado in safety, and thu two men made their way by night along tho coast towards Nuchok again. Mr.

Petroff was a prisoner with the, Koloauos from the 8th of August till the 28th of September. When he offcotod his escape it waa too late )R the season for further explorations, and he made his way by trading vessels to San Francisco. The government vessels had returned without tidthgs of him, and report hajl gone forth that ho had perished. Upon his arrival at Sau Francisco, ho went one evening to tho meeting of scientific society of which ho was member, and found that ono of his fellow members just on tho point of delivering a memorial address upon bis life 'and services. succeed him, bnt can hardly be claimed a matter of right or good governmental policy, that a life-time on the public pay-rolls gives a lien on the public purse to tho descendants of tho office-holder.

Vet there aro some who Infer this. For Instance, tako the oaso of Major Nicholson, adjutant and inspector of marines, He holds a position one" held by his father. I don't know what rank his grandfather held. His son, however, is a lieutenant in the corps, and may aspire to tho place of bis father if he lives. A marine may die but lid nevor dies with his boots on--not in our navy.

Here is tho third and fourth generation of Nicholsons in a marine's -uniform. Nicholson has two brothers, clorks in oflloo ou tbo marino rolls. Ho has brother, Commodore Nicholson, in the navy, a nephew Nicholson in the army and another nejphvw Ntcholnon iu tbe civil sorvico--a clerk, li believe, in the patent office. I fcul Jnxtifiod in Haying that thin comprises tbo entire male portion of the Nicholson family old enough to draw salaries; but I understand there arc other little Nicks coming up, to accommodate whom, as tlmy arrivo at maturity, tho army must be increased, thc navy rebuilt and the marino corps "reorganized," a la MePhUrBon. Our marine is a conspicuous nguro in Washington society, for Wanhington society can toll tbe marine is of good extraction by tbe uniform button ho wears.

The marluo is a pillar --a nort-of a barber-polo, as it were--which sustains Washington society. Tbe noii-rom- missioued officer performs tbe work of tho corps--tbo ncion of a noble prances around. He loadn tho german like a darling; ho escorts tho ladies; ho acts an unhtr at tho weddings; he coddles the rich girls--occasionally ho marries ono and resigns. His duties in tbe marino corps havo then coaxed. I shall never forget tbo expression of a lady fiiond of mine, the wifa of a gallont officer, in speaking of a wayward son: "Oeorfjo is at son, you know," said she in a plaintive way, "and Willie ii at tho Point.

Jiimca in no shiftless--hia father says he'll havo to put him in tho marino corpx. After all it is very nice you know--very Delect; but (loorgsj bates marine." And Jamos would bavei gone into tho marines, snreonouKh. if he. hadn't been sont to an inebriate asylum first. T.

At length, after many difficulties and delays, tho match took place, onu condition insisted on by the Neck- crs being that bo should never tako his wife to ttwedun for any length of time and nover without her convent.
