SMALL-POX.
The Texas Siftings a phunny paper

out of it. Particularly the confederate

sued after all the rest of the public do-

THE SURVIVORS OF THE JEANNETTE
r Their Probable Homeward Route — A
Pleasure Trip Through a Flue
Country.
. From the Ne* York Evening Post.
. Mr. Perry M. C. Collins who is now
t in this city had a contract with the
j Russian government in the year 1865
. for building a telegraph line into and
t through Siberia down the Amoor
river to the eastern coast which was
afterward transferred to the Western
Union Company but the line was
• constructed under his direction and
that of Mr.' Kennan whose letter to
the secretary of the navy had lately
been published. In the course of his
explorations he became familiar with
the country so that his observations
regarding the probable condition of
the Jeannette’s crew are of interest.
Mr. Collins said yesterday that he had
but little to add to what Mr. Kennan
had already said but that he is quite
confident that the missing boat will be
found and that the hardships of all
the survivors are ended.
“I am sure” he said “that they are
now enjoying every comfort and even
luxury of civilized life. The mere fact
that they are shipw r * j deed seamen
would guarantee it. Besides they are
Americans. Moreover they are naval
men. Rest assured that the Russian
government and people will do their
utmost in their behalf. As to their
journey homeward the best route is by
way of Moscow. They will undoubt-
edly take that. So far from its being
one of difficulty or discomfort it is one
of absolute pleasure. I never enjoyed
anything more in my life than my
sledge-ride from Irkutsk to Moscow.
The distance is about 3500 miles and
I was twenty-seven days on the jour-
ney. That was about 130 miles per
day. Talk of a sleigh-ride in Central
park alongside of a sleigh-nde like that
Thermometer ? Why sometimes the
mercury was 40 degrees below zero
but the air was still and dry. I was
wrapped up in furs. I had three
four five and sometime six horses
to my sledge scampering to the
music of bells over the seemingly
boundless plains and through the
dense forests. Almost every night I
was quartered at some nobleman’s or
gentleman’s house in the towns or in
the country where the most profuse
hospitality was extended to me for I
was under government conduct as
these men will be.”
Being asked about the likelihood of
Capt. Berry of the Rodgers getting I
information of the loss of the Jean-
nette- and the safety of her crew Mr. I
Collins said:
“He has heard all about it long ago.
There is an extensive trade all along
the coast in the summer carried on in
boats and in winter on sledges all the
way to Berring’s Strait. I am sure
that Capt. De Long and Capt. Berry
have been in communication with each
other and unless the latter has some
further orders to hunt up that valuable
north pole so that another expedition
will be sent to find him he will get
back to San Francisco as soon as the
breaking up of the ice will allow him
to get through the straits. I don’t see
any good that will come out of this (
whole thing excepting that our people
may learn something about Siberia. I
do not believe there are ten men in
the United States that know anything
about it. Why sir it is one of the I
finest countries in the world. The >
summers are short it is true but you
can almost see things grow—and they
do grow away up to 70 degrees—-
wheat barley rye buckwheat oats
and everything else in the greatest
abundance. There is a territory far
larger than ours with 6000000 in-
habitants a territory abounding in 1
cereals minerals cattle and sheep and
yet people think it a prison or a skat-
ing park.” •
New York January s.—At a meet-
ing of the military order of the “Loyal
United States” held last night at Del-
monico a letter from Mrs. Garfield
was read acknowledging the receipt of
the obituary resolutions passed by the
commandery on the decease of the
late president. After the routine busi-
ness was transacted a formal reception
was tendered to General Winfield
Scott Hancock acting commander-in-
chief of the order. The ditner was
partaken of by 150 guests General
Henry W. Slocum presiding. General
Hancock thanked his comrades for the
honor paid him. The festivities were
prolonged until a late hour.
