THE ESQUIMAUX.
Preparedfor the .="v'eic- Yorl: Obseirt-rfroin_a-n
account of Capt. I’arry’s late -.~.-peciihoii,
published in the London Literary Guzefle.
./‘r’r'arr"t°ages and Fruit-ruls.—--.i.ii Esqttitiiatix
bespeaks his wife while she is yet a child, and
when she is of niarriageable age she is bro’t
hotrie to him, anti there is a feast on the occa-
sion. Their funerals are equally simple: if
in winter, the corpse is merely covered over
with snow ; ifin sttnimer, a shallow treticli is
dug, wlrere it is tleposited, and two or three
flat stones at top complete the rude sepulclire.
Tliev are careful not to allow any stones or
weighty matter to rest on the body; and seem
totlrinlt that even after-death it may be sensi-
ble to the oppression. Two wives were pos-
sessed by several of the natives.
Their1Iouses.—Tlieir houses are built of
snow, and are usually grouped togetlieer; three
in a grottpe. They are curiously shaped and
oonstitictctl, resembling three iintiionse bee-
hives, and are entvred by one long passage
by all the three families to whom those yield
an abode. They are about 9 feet in diame-
ter, and 7 or 8 feet in height. The passage is
about 20 feet in length, and so low that you
must creep along nearly on all-fours, in order
to reach the litit. This is ingeniously intentl-
ed to exclude the cold air, which it does ef-
fectually. The huts are entirely made of
square blocks of solid snow, with 11 larger key-
block at the top of the rottnrtla. The window
is a piece of flat transparent ice. Round the
interior runs a seat of the satire material as
the walls, upon which the skins of animals are
thrown for S82'|lS_2'tDtl beds. The houses are
without any artificial warmth, except what is
produced by a sort of oil lamp, in which they
used pieces of dry mms for wicks.
Tficir Food and Cookery.-—Tlie Esqtiimattx
often "eat flesll in a raw state; but it is some-
times cooked, and the ‘women almost invaria-
bly snlrtnit their food to that process. The
utensils are uncommon, though siitiple. They
consist of two vessels of stone; the lower ves-
sel a gocul ’.l‘."dl zvsetriblcs an English kitclieti
ash jift:\'E)l -, the upper one a trough, ofa wide.
coflin i"«..-viii. 1?. fire first, which is filled wit/l
oil, a iitiiizlicr of mt--;< wicks float, and are
.ll_8_liiCtl for the fuel. Tire oil is gradually mp-
plied from s'.r'iii;-_;s of fat hung up above the
flames, the heat of Will-.‘l‘. ti‘-elts them int.o so
many l'eS€‘t'V.’)l't‘;l of grease. In the second it-
tensil, placed over the fire thus made, the
meat is stewed. The natives are filthy in their
eating, and hartlly rciect any thing, from the
blubbler of wlialc to the flesh of wolf. When
hungry, they dcvortred the carcases often or
a dozen of the latter, wliicli were killed by
our scamcii. Their food. indeed, consisted
cliiefly ofscal and wolves’ flesh ; but notwith-
standing this, tliey appeared to be perfectly
contented, nay, even happy. Their dresses
were tirade entirely of skins, chiefly those of
the rein-deer.
Their acccsimt of their or2'gz'n.—Tliey say
that their race originally sprung from a bene-
ficcnt female Spirit; and that from another
wicked female Spirit are descended the other
three creatures who inhabit the earth, name-
ly, the. Itkalr, or iriciiitrs; the Cabluna:-, or
Europeans ', and the Dogs, which they drive!
The Izkali they abhor and speak of as mur-
derers, who never spare tl.t-.rr lI'!l)l'_"S. Oftlie
Cablunze tliey had only heard by report, ric-
ver liaving seen a Einopearr till they cncottn-
tered those in the Fury and 'rlecla ; but itis
clear from their classing them with tlieludians
and Dogs, that they have no very exalted i-
dea of th: ir virtues.
T.’tu'i' -’.'a7rrms.——lii the management oftlrc
canoe, the Esquiinanx are very expert. Ting,
are amazingly light, and formed ofskin ()\'t~_ir
wli;ilt=lmrw.._ Tire largest wlricli Capt. I’. ob-
tained is Q8 feet in length. In these the na
tive pursues his marine chase, and spears the
fish and fowl. Tire spear is dotrble-pointed
with bone, about six or seven inclrcs in length,
and barbed. They kill at 20 yards distance.
Mode of catching Seals.-—'I‘lre method of
catching seals tlnotigli a hole in the ice, is out-
ofthe most dcxterous of Esquimaux contriv-
anccs: a line islet down, at the end of which
isfastened a small piece of white bone or
tooth, above an inch long, ctit into a rude
fish-form, and having two morsels of pyrites
stttck into it to resemble eyes. This bait is
drawn tlirougli the water, and when seals or
other prey approach to examine it, the watch-
ful native spears them from above.
Curious Spcclacles.——Spectacles are anoth-
er oftlreir articles, which struck us as Cll|‘lmlF
and well contrived. They consist ofa pit-cc
ofwood scraped thin, like a bandage, and per-
forated with two narrow horizontal slits,sonie-
glasses ; a rim about ‘an inch broad proj‘ec'ts'
0 in the same direction as that ofa hat would ;
and this simple mechanical pro‘c‘ess,tied about
tlieltead, protects the eyes from the drifting
snow and spiculte, and itnproves the sharp-
ness of the sight. '
Their Dogs-—Tliese strong and hardy an-
imals draw the country sledges at the rate of
five miles and more an hour. Nor is this
performed with a light weight attached to
them. Eight iti harness will draw thr'ele or
four persons with ease and speed in this man-
ner. On ‘one occasion an anchor and stock,
weighing about a ton, was dragged to its des-
tination by fifteen or sixteenof them. VVitlt
them the Esquimaux htirits the great white
Polar bear ; and some of those brought to
Etiglaiad carry the scars of their prowess in
this way. These in the ships, twelve or four-
teen in ntimber, are large creatures of various
colors. They are exceeding fi‘crce, and more
like wolves than dogs. A good many died in
consequence oftlre heat, on their way to Eng-
land. In the Iiccla was one dog bred between
the Esquiiiiaux dog am] a lurclrer taken out
frotii this country. She had six female pups,
and the specimen we saw is now a fitre pow-
erful aiiitiial, and quite tame. It gave a siti-
gular proofofits sagacity in the river: a light-
er came alongside with sotiie casks of fresh
Water, into which it immediately leapt over
the side, and ran front cask to cask, trying to
get. its head into a bung-hole. This being
impossible, one of the men good-liunioredly
tlrew a bowl full for it, which it despittclred
with evident delight, and then begged for ari-
other dranglit. This it also obtained, drank it
nearly all, and with signs of g'r-atificatiori and
tliankfulness made its way back into the ship.
On their native soil, however, these fero-
cious animals are often destroyed by the still
more ferocious wolves. "lie latter huntin
packs, and even drag the dogs from the huts
to devour them. Attracted by the scent, they
were always prowling about our vessels, and
daringly carried off wliatcver came in their
way. Thirteen of them were seen in one
pack; all of which were trapped and slain.
It was of these the hungry Esquitnaux tirade
their dinners. At one titiie they bore away
a dog from the Fury, in spite of the pursuit
of the tneii.
S/irintps or Sea LfCC-—Tllel'C is also anoth-
Or niiuute creature in extraordinary abttti-
tlance; we mean the small slrriiiip, which is
ltnowii by the name ofthe Sea-louse. These
perfornicd a very curious office to the natu-
ralists in the Expedition, and their usefttlness
was very drolly discovered. An officer one
day was desirous of preparing a Sulatr goose
for cool-ziiig, and in order to reduce its saltness
he plunged it through an ice-hole into the wa-
ter ; but alas! irext morning, when the goose
was to be drawn up for spitting, nothing but
the skeleton appeared. The sea lice had
picked its bones as clean as any anatomist
could have scraped tlrciri, and thus finely pre-
pared it for any collection of natural history
which might watit such a specimen ! The hint
was not lost, for, after this time, whatever
skeletons or bones required polishing, were
submitted to the lice operators, and so dili-
gent were they in executing the task confided
to them, they would eat at sea-lrorse’s head
clean in a couple of nights l
GEOLOGY—— C'onli7ruetl.—-Tlie ancient
history of the globe, which may be regarded
as the ultimate object of geological research-
es,isundoubtcdly one oftlre most curious sub-
jects that can engage the attention ofenliglrt-
erred men. The lowest and most level parts
of the earth, when penetrated to a very great
depth, exhibit nothing but horizontal strata,
composed ofvarions substances, and contain-
ing alniost all of them innumerable riiarine
productions. Similar strata ofthe saute kind
of productions compose the hills even to a
great height. Souretinres the shells are so nu-
merous as to constitute the entire body of the
stratum. They are almost every where. in
sircli a state of perfect preservation, that even
the smallest of them retain their riiost deli-
cate parts, their sharpest ridges, and tender-
est processes. Tliey. are fotirid in elevations
far above the level ofevery part oftlre ocean,
and in places to whicli the sea could not be
conveyed by any prcsentlyexistiug c:rnse.——
They are not merely enclosed in loose sa.nd,
but are often incrusted and penetrated on all
sides by the liardcst stones. Every part of
the earth, every hcirrispliere, every continent,
every island of any size, exhibits the same
plienonienoti. \Ve are tlierefore, forcibly led
to believe not‘ only that the sea has at one pe-
riod or another covered all our plains, but
that it must have remained there a long time,
and in a state of tranquility. which up-cum-
stance was necessary for the formations of
deposites so extensive, so thick, in part so sol-
id, and containing exuvitc so perfectly pre_
served. A nice and scrupulous comparison
of the forms, coutexture, and coiiipositioti of
these shells, and of those which still inhabit
the sea, cannot detect the slightest difference
betweeii tlietii. They have, therefore, once
lived in the sea, and been deposited by it; con.
sequently the sea must have rested in the pk.-
(‘as where the depositions have taken place.
Hence, it is eviderit,tliat the basin or reservoir
containingthe sea has nndergonesomechange
either in extent, situation, or in both.
The traces of revolutions become still more
apparent and decisive when we ascend a little
higher, and approach nearer to the foot oftlie
great chain of mountains. There are still
fort-rid many beds of shells; sotne ofthese are
P-\'i_’l] larger and more solid; the shells are
quite as ntiinerotts, and as entirely preserved,
liill not of the same species with those fottnd
in less elevated regions. The strata which
contain tlieni are not so generally horizontal;
they have various degrees of iiicliiiatioti, and
are sometimes situated vertically. W'liile in
the plains and low hills it was necessary to
dig deep in order to detect the succession of
the strata, here we perceive them by means of
the valleys, which time or violence has produ-
ced, and which disclose their edges to the eye
of an observer.
Tlins the sea, previous to the formation of
the liorizontal strata had formed otlters,which
by some means have been broken, lifted up,
and overturned in a thousand wavs. Brit the
sea ltas not always deposited stony substances
oftlie same kind. It ltas observed a regular
succession as to_the’nature of its tleposites;
the niore ancient the strata are so much the
more unifornr and extensive are they; and the
more recent they are, the more limited are
ll:ey,and the more variation is observed in
limit at Small distances. Tlrese irrnptions
and rt-tr»:-tits oftiie sea have been neitlrt-r slow
' gliing like pig's eyes, where we would have
not gradual; most of the catastrophies which
liave occasioned tlietii have been sudden, and
this is easily proved, especially with regard to
the last oftliem, or the Mosaic deluge,tbe tra-
ces of which are very corispictietts. In the,
northern regions-it has left the carcases of
_some large qtiatlr-upetls, which the ice had ar-
rested, and which are preserved even to the
present day,witli their skin, their hair, and
their flesh. It‘ tltey had not been frozen as
soon as killed, they must have been quickly
decomposed by putrefactiomk But this perpct-iv
ual frost could not have ta ‘en possesstori o
the regions which these animals iriliabited,ex-
cept by the same causes which dlt)2stroyed tl(r}t:lrri;
this cause ttittst therefore have een as su en
as its effect. The two most remarkable plie-
nometia oftliis kind, and which inust forever
banisli the idea ofa slow and gradual revolu-
tion, are the rhinoceros, discoveredliiii 177i,
on the banks oftlie Villioni,:tnd the 4‘ eplianl
recently found by Mr. Atlantis near the riioutli
of the Sena. This last retained its flesh and
skin, oti which was hair of two kinds; one,
short, line and crisped,resetnliling wool ; and
the other like bristle. The flesh was still in
snclt high preservation, that it was eaten by
(logs. Every part of the globe bears the im-
press oftliese great and terrible events so dis-
tinctly, that they must be visible to all who
are qualified to read their history in the re-
mains which they have left belrintl.
GREEK CAUSE-—The following Circu-
lar has been addressetl by the Students in the
Theological rS‘eminar_i/ at .9.~idover, to their fel-
low Students in all the Colleges and higher
Seurinaries in our country :—
To the Members of
Geritleiiieri—Iir lrclialfofthe Members of
the TlieologicalSerninary in this place,we beg
leave to address year on a strl,r_i~:»"t,tt-liicli we are
contideut has already cxcited _t'o=._rr attention.
To Atiiericans, :r;ij.' brave and generoxzs tia-
tion, struggling for civil and reiiigious free-
dom, is a spectacle never to be rt«gar'dt-d with
_irrdifl'<*rence: but \\'l‘l:’ll’t a gtezririti, ir~.hct'iting a
spirit which ages trl's:if:3::'ing lizrac not sttl‘rdu-
ed, anti professing the same Christi:ui fai'li
with otir“selves——brc.il—:Eng the chains of their
oppressors, not only look to us as the chosen
people of freedom, gatlieriiig strength from
our example, and hope from our history ; but
call on us as Freemen and as Cliristiai_rs to
aid them in their hour of peril ;—-if we should
ttirn away from that appeal, and refuse to hear
their cry, we should prove ourselves tinwortlry
ofthe namein which we glory. '
The case is not imaginary. It is this day
before llS.—--The Gl'BP.l(S, to whom learning is
a birtlirigltt, and freedom peculiarly an inlier-.
itance, have broken the fetters of their bond-
age, and in their struggle. they have looked to
America as the sanctuary of liberty and reli-
gion, and they have besouglit us by all the
sympatliies of frceureu and fellow cliristians,
not to let them perisli in so noble a conflict.
Nor liastheir voice been disregarded. Tbro’-
out otir cottntry but one sensation has been
felt. The public expression of the senti-
ments of our beloved Chief Zldagistrute has
given a new impulse to that sensation, and
the measures recently adopted in the city of
New-York are directing it into a channel of
powerful efficiency. ,
But we have been led to address you on this
occasion, because we feel that Greece has
some peculiar claims on us and you. As men
of letters, we have tortned an acquaintance
with her historians and plrilosophers, her ora-
tors and poets. For otirselvcs, we have look-
ed at this contest from the beginning with no
ordinary etiiotiori. We have regarded it as a
means wliicli the wise Governor of Nations is
rising, to bring to nouglit the douiinion of the
false prophet. As we pursued ottr course in
the various departtiieirts of study, we were
perpetually reminded oftlre Gree/rs—and we
have felt ourselves under some personal obli-
gations to the countrymen ofHomer and Xen-
ophon, and the descendants of Socrates and
Plato ;—aiid when we saw otir fellow citizens
coming forwartl with their contributions, we
thought it a privilege to offer our mite, and
we felt that it would enhance otir satisfaction
if we might contribute in sticli a way that it
sliottld be made a sitriple and cndttririg nion-
ument ofour gratitude. Under the influence
ofsuch impressions, the members oftlris Seni-
inary, on the evening of the 9th inst. adopted
the follotving Resolutions :
1. Resolved, That the members ofthis Sein-
inary deeply sympathize with the Greeks in
their present struggle.
9.. That a Committee, consisting of one
from every college and state,represcnted here,
be appointed to cotifer with our Professors on
the subject; to take tip a contribution, and re-
ceive subscriptions here ; aird to propose 21
Circular for the various colleges and profes-
sional seniinari_es in this country.
3. That iftlie members of the other litera-
ry instittitions concur in the plan, it be repre-
sented to the government of Greece, as our
wish, that the money contributed in these in-
slittrtiotis, be devoted, after the establishment.
of Grecian freedom, to the promotion oflit.er-
ature in that country, in some such way, as
that it may becouie a perniauent token oftlie
respect and esteem with which the Greeks are
regarded by the American youtlrdevoted to
study.
VVe have been led to present these Resolu-
tions for your COl]Sltlet‘tlll()l],ll'0m a persuasion
that the emotions which we feel, tiittst be corn-
mon to all engaged in literary pursuits. The
consideration too, that representatives frotii 12
colleges, and as many tlitferent states, are
found in otir iitrtriber, relieved us frotri some
partoftlie diffitleuce,vrliiclr we miglitotlrerwise
have felt. In concluding, we would remark,
that the object to he gained by the plan pro-
posed, is not so riiuch the pectiniary aid we
may afford the Greeks, as the public testimo-
ny, which in this way will be given to otir fel-
low citizens and to the Greeks, that the young
men in all our seminaries of Education, have
lieard.and regarded the cry ofa christian peo-
ple, struggling with their persecutors—a civil-
ized people, contending with their savage op-
pressors, and a people whose ancestors were
the highest in the course of human improve-
nieirt, driving forth a iiatioti of uritntored bar-
barians, frotii the land wliere learning and re-
finerireritoiice had their abode, and where the
ninscs still love to linger.
Most respectfully, yours, 8~Lc.

‘ You ask are if the Mahotiiedan religion is
on the decline. I answer: in Persia they can
scarcely be czrllcdblalroiiictlaiis : they are De-
ists, ifany tliitig, and are ready to receive the
Christian faith. A few such men as 1‘1It'.Mzir—
tyii would soon effect a change. Your c'tiinot
conceive the eagerness with which tlroly ask
for his translation of the New Testatiieiit. I
have distributed several hundreds, and could
have done‘ so with _ twice the number, if
they had been sent me. At Mecca,,the resort
is so tiiucli fallen olithat notone in a hundred
now goes, for those that did. Indeed the rev-
‘ennes, in consequence of this, have so mucli
decreased, that in lieu of OVetfl0\vltlg treasu-
ries, the Ottoman Government is obliged to
make large retnittances for the paynientof its
officers and troops. Those pilgrims who now
resort make no offerings or presents ; they are
satisfied it ith going. Indeed, from my own
observation, after a residence of near 24 yrs.
arnongst the Arabs and Persians, I can safely
say that Islatnism is fast falling to decay.’
To give some idea of the diversity oflan-
guages and idioms employed by the various
nations who inhabit the vastempire of Rus-

to be translated into twenty nine languages or
dialects for the use ofthat empire.

A few days ago a Chippewa Indian, living at _
Saginaw, was killed by a neiglrbonring Indiair
ofthe satire tribe. Agreealily to the old cus-
tom, the relatives of the deceased met those of
the slayer, for the purpose of corirpronrisitig
the matter by“receiving preseiits, or putting
the slayer to death.
tially determined, that the brethren oftlte de-

parties were on the point of shaking hands
and lighting the pipe of conciliation, when

of his tonialiawlt, laid lritii dead at his feet.—-
Tlie Indians present were very-much astouisli-

In the lzrsft annual Report of the Secretary
of the Navy it is stated that ‘Eleven Africaris,
none of whom could speak the English lan-
guage‘, were some months ago, brought by a
Capt. Cliase,as mariners, into the port ofBal-
tit," e, and were taken into the possession of
the officers of government, and an investiga-
tion itistitttted into the supposed violation of
otir laws in lilil'0(lllCllif_{:'ll18m. By means of
an interpreter, who understood the languages
oral!’ except one or two oftheni, it was, sub-
seqncntly, discovered, that they belonged to
tribes in the l1(’l}:lil)()l‘l)U0(l of Mensurado, and
that some uftheni were of the head men of
their tribes. It was therefore believed, that
their restoration by this Governtiteut would
have a salutary effect; antfan inquiry was di-
rectcd to be tirade through the interpreter,
whether they were willing to retufn to Africa.
Such being found to be their wish, tli.ey were,

‘A difficulty has long been felt, in the want
of some generic term, by which man could be
classed separately from his fellow animals.
He. has been called a'ttvo-leggtetl animal, H.
talkiiig animal, a.dancing aninial, and in fact
has been designated by alnrost every-peculiar
qualification which he can be supposed to
possess distinctly and alone from the rest of
creatrori, as a mark ofiiatttre’s favor; yet, uti-
til now, the invention of philosopliy has been
taxed in vain. Monkeys and geese walk on
two legs; parrots and rriagpies talk ; dogs and
bears dance ; and in fact no exclusive pirysical
property had been discovered for the lords of
the creation, until the National Iutelligenccr
supplied the vacttttm in natural history, and
divulged the secret that “ man is a cttitcztsing‘
an-final.” C:ivillers_ might possibly object that
the application is given only to social man,
and that ‘savages are not ;inclutlcd in it ; but-
savages meet in council to smoke tobacco,
and sometimes net drurik, and therefore may
be said to be cattcitszng animals. The excep-
tion, also, while “ free from the palsgfl’ &t.c. -
may be supposed to place man sometimes on a
level with his brother brutes; but we doubt
whether even the Turks may not caucus, par-
tictrlarly when they are well drenched. with
opium, which exalis them above the paralysis
ofabsoluic dc. potism, and puts them on plan-
ning riieans to iiiassacre the Greeks. It may
perliaps be said that some anit‘nals' besides
man are addicted to “ caucus”-'—~inzrsurncli as
wild geese gabblc in'concert, and follow it
file leader ; and slrecp are well known to herd
together, and run after a bell wetlter. But
these are invidious cavils, since geese and
sheep enact but one of the oflices ofcauctisin,-;
as it is performed by ruli'o‘n.ril beings. True
ed, are btit the blind followers ofa lead-irig
between us, that the geese and slicep keep in
the wake ofhead rain or gander for llteir own
good, while niati, “ social man,” says “ ditto”
to his caucus chief, for the special behoof of
the said chief alone. \Ve could thus, we
think, refute all the “ quirks and quibhles” of
sopliistry, against our -n.a.tio,nal definition of
the liunian race; but in so doing, wesliould
betray presuniption, in assuming a task which ‘
properly belongs to the gifted Iutelligenccr,
that first drew the line between the lord Qfcrc-;
ation and his subject fellorvs.——.IV'. Y. Jlmer.
