Emros CJliffxk— Haying recently noticed the interest jm bare tokep In tbe 'morements of the Fire Department, f'^onld oall atMntlon tfarongh you iridely clronlated 'jtarn4 to the ineonvenlenee which the deportment In the lower districts labors nnder, and which shonld be attended to. We have, In the lower part of the city, twelTa engine companlea, as follows: two OistKilass and ten second-class engines, and when on duty they require at Uad two hydrant itreuns eaA; the flntolass reqnlrlng (Arai Now, It will be seen that it will require (uaifyiiz bydiant llnea to give tfood sopply of water to the engines to be of any service whatever. We have only nineteen hose companies doing dnty, and, as It will be seen, we have not enongh hose companies to sopply the engines properly, cMn if every <^e. of them shonld have a hydrant, and reach to on engine, which cannot be done on account of the .hydrants being nearly. If not qnite, 300 feet apart, and the hose carriage ndt being able to carry over EOO feet, In the first place we are Mwn hose oompanles short; in the second place every hose , company cannot take a hydrant and reach the fire, because some companies have to t^e a hydrant from 1600 to 2000 feet away fnm the Are; those nearest bekg taken by companies arriving first at the fire. This has not been fbr a month or a day, but it baa been for years, and I hope tliat"the preseat Chief will remedy It What is the good of an engine wlthont a good supply of water T The cry among the engine men is," Give ui plenty of water and T|;e will pat oat the fire before It spreads further;" and tb(9y hava good cause to speak thus. I have often seen some of our best engines, well manned, throwing water Ooniparatlvely no higher nor stronger thou a hydrant stream; and the first thing yoa would, hear woold be, when spoken to by a rival company," Ob, onr engine Is out of order 1" The conaeqnence would be, that, next day, tiie engine wonld be sent to the hnllder to be overhauled to see what was the matter, and the engine would be taken to Spikes to ascertain the cause, and notiimg would be found wontlag. Where was the fault T Water was wanting ud nothing else I One half of the engines are put out of order by this long-continuous want. I was veiy much gratified to see some of the hose com- panies of the app9r districts coming to onr assistance, but imagine my surprise to see engines coming too; It was making matters worse. This waa no remedy. The only way to do It Is to send - the hose companies down town, and keep the engines in the districts where they lay, and I will vouch for the engine men of the Seventh and Eighth Districts. It will be seen that in the Seventh District there are three engines and four hose companies laying in the Sixth District, and those.companles laying In the Fourth District, now doing duty, which makes flfleen engines and twenty-four hose , companies in the Seventh; and by giving each engine toe hydrant streams, which cannot be done, there will be five engines without water, and by giving them all water tiiere will be ribu engines with a fall supply and nz with a half supply; thus wast- ing time and labor. Now, in the Eighth District, we have fifteen engines, two coming bom the npperdlstriots, eigh- teen, hose companies in the lower, and three flrom the upper districts, making twenty-one, and leaving us in the same predicament If our worthy Chief wants the engines let him order enongh hose companies to give a good sup- ply of water, and thus not cripple'*but give the " down- townen" a chance to show what their machines are made for.

If correctly Infbrmod, you are not the man whom you would have the people believe you aro.

They know that It la something remarkably alogular that a While Hackle will aland to the deaUi In the honda of their present owoen, but that when othen get posssaalon of them, they will run away.

I would be very sorry If It did; for the One game fowla I loft there might be contaminated by tho White Hackle. You say further, " I therelbre can have oo allusions to a Dr. J, W.

DoBiira ' the famine at EUb. last winter, i^heii 'i^e.'t^oc-,- solves were as much distresied for fteahi food, two of mjr friends, Awohtok and Myonkj determined to seek the wal> ms on the open ice. It was a perlormance of tho greatest donger; but it was better, in ,tocir ayes, than the saorlfloo of their dogs, and tbey both possessed, to tho itallest'ex- tent, ftat apathetic fatalism' Which ' belongs to the lowly-' cnltivated races. Tbty sn'ccieded Ih klUlog a large male, and were in tbe act of reluming joyfully to their villager when a north wind broke up tbe Ice, and they fontad jtheUr solves afloat. The impulaeof an European woiild'haivo been to seek the land; nut thoy knew that the drift wa* alwayamoit dangcroua on tbo coast, and urged their dog» towaraa the nearest loeberg. They reached it, after ^' struggle, and, by tbo greatest eflortsi maido good their landing, With their dogs and tho half-batohertd oarttase Of the walrus. Poor My onk, as he told th4 story to Pil.t«i;- Bfo, made a flrlghtful picture of their snfferlngs, the more BO from tbe qmet, stoical manner with Which be detailed facts. It wos at tho close, be said, of the moonlight of Dt> eember, and in tho midst of the heavy stiirm wnlcb held Petersen and myself prisoners at Anoatok. A complete darkness settled arodnd them. Tbey tied tho dogs flowta to knobs of Ice to prevent their losing their foothold, and prostrated thcmeelTcs to escape being' blown off by the violence of'the wind. At Bitt the K» tMke over uiem^ but they joined a higher leve),,and built, a sort of Mreeni of ice.

Bul thoy kept heart of grace, and ate their walma-meat aa they floated slowly to tbe eonth. The berg came twice into colilaion with floes, and they thought at one ttnie they had passed the Utlaksoak, the' Great Oaldrbo, oi^ had entered the North Water of Baf- fin's Bay. It .tm towards the oloae of tbo Koond moon- light,' after a month's imprisonment,: living as only these Iron men could llv.e, that they found the berg bad ground- ed. They liberated their dogs aa sogn as the. young ice would bear their weight, and, attaching long lines to them, wbtoh they out flrom tho hide of the dead walroi, thejr stio- c^eded' in hauling tiieniselves through-the woter-ipaoe which always surrounds an Iceberg, and reaching safe ice. They returned to their village like men raised {torn tho dead, to meet a welcome, bat to meet.ftimine along with ito TDB AtaOTIO HAha. ' Hero is lomo interesting bformation about the Atotlo hare.

Their average weight Is about nine pounos. iThey wonld havo entered largely into onr diet list but for our Eiqulnanx dog8,.who regarded .them with relishing appetite. Parry found .the laro at Melville Island'in' latitude 7S deg.; but we have traced'It flrom Liitletbn -Island, as far north as 70 deg. 8 min., and Its range pro- bably extends still farther north towards tht Fofai Its structure ond habits enable It to penetrate tbo snow-otuits, 'and obtain foodwhero the -reindeer and the musk-ox perish in ..consequence of the glased covering of their feeding-grounds.
