Our New Arctic Expedition


Our New Arctic Expedition.
The new American expedition,
under Captain G. F. Hall, is now
ready to sail upon its difficult and
perilous voyage ofPolar discovery.
Should the present American
commander not be mistaken here
it is almost certain that he will,
in the early part Of his sledge
journey, stumble upon the open
Polar Sea, "along whose shores, !"
according to Kane. seals were
sporting and waterfowl feeding,
whose waves c2mc rolling in with
measured tread like the majestic
pillows of OLD ocean, and whose
solitude, the. cold and boundless
cxpanse and the mysterious hcav-
ings OF its great waters lent their
charm to the scene" Whether
subsequent investigation will con-
firm the substantial accuracy Of
Kane's narrative IT is, perhaps, re-
served for Captain Hall to decide.
But if 1t DO founded at all in fact,
the present expedition cannot
hope for the full execution of
It's purposes.
There is unquestionsbly IN i'm
mense drainage Of continental riv-
crs into the Arctic basin with the
return of every spring. By the
careful and moderate estimate Of
the eminent geographer Keith
Johnston, the water thus let loose
by the vernal sun upon the surface
Of this basin represents the melted
snow and drainage Of five millions
Of square miles, which exceeds by
two millions Of square miles the
total area contained within the
entire periphery Of the Arctic Sea.
This volume Of warm water, pour
ing into and diffusing itself over
the Arctic latitudes, is still fur
thcr augmented by the dissolution
Of ice masses under the mid-sum-
mcr sun, whose temperature, as
far as fakutsi, the coldcst habita-
ton of man, is frequently known
to reach sixty degrees Fahrenheit.
Add 10 these thermic resources of
the Arctic basin the fall Of sum-
mcr rains, the latent heat, evolved
in their formation and the com
bincd agencies Of the Gulf Stream
! (Which has been traced into the
Arctic Sea between Spitzbergcn
and Nova Zembla), and the con-
spring humid southwest winds,
which, it is we'll known, forever
invade tho Arctic basin. and we at
once discover ground for appre-
hension that Captain Hall may
find the route selected for his
sledgc journey either an open sea
or one filled with gigantic masses
of floating ice.
This, however, time and expert
ment only can remove or estab-
lish. Scientific men will expect
that every care will be taken to
make accurate astronomical and
magnetic observations, and also
what will be Of still greater i'm
portancc-that the meteorological
observations shall be specially
prosecuted and preserved for the
benefit Of our National Meteorolo-
sgical Bureau and Storm Signal
Service.
Tho expedition now about to
sail may not realize its hopes but,
like every great and original ac-
ton, it has prospective great
ness-not alone from the thought
of the man who achieves it, but
from the various aspects and high
thoughts it will continue to in
spire in the minds Of others TO
the end, it may be, Of all time.

\ Paris letter Of the 31st ult.
says: A most revolving sight oc-
Cured this morning on the plaza
in front Of the Hotel dc Willie
Thirty-three Communists, among
whom were seven women, were
shot in body Of q company Of
soldiers. Around three sides of the
square troops to the number of
1900 were drawn up, under the
command Of Col. Guizot. ct S
o'clock, the prisoners, who had
been confined in the coal cellars
back of the porter's lodge in the
Hotel de Vile, were brought ont,
their hands tied behind their
backs, and then ma, chcd out by
tho main gateway through a file
of soldiers, and, having reached
the centre of the wide area in
front Of the Hotel de Vile, were
ranged in a row: and made to
kneel down close together. There
was nothing on the whole plaza
but three empty scavcnger carts,
which stood in a line at the rear
Of the prisoners. When the COM
pany was in line and ready to fire,
Col. Guizot stepped forward and
told the prisoners in few words
that they were 10 suffer death for

setting FIRE to buildings and dwell,
ings in Paris. At this moment
thcwomen uttered piercingscreams
and began to sway themselves
back and forth. An officer stepped
forward and made them keep still
by the fat of his sword. A few
moments afterwards a volley was
fired, and when the smoke cleared
away most horrible sight was
presented. Three Of the womon
who were in the middle row, be-
twec I the men, were still living
and writhing in awful agony. A
second volley was fired, and q
third, and not until the sixth did
all the prisoners cease to live
The dead bodies were then flung
into the three scavengcr carts and
carried away to be buried.

A PERPETUAL MONUMENT OF Fol
LY.-Still more wanton and ridicu.
lous was the demolition of the
magnificent mansion of M. Theirs.
There are no persons living in the
world, except these Republicans
who would have conceived and
carried out spiteful revenge in
so paltry manner. Even the de-
sign fails of its accomplishment,
because any future government.
no matter what it's character. will
be found to make good the loss
and damage, and those who have
done the mischief will have to help
in doing so. The books, paint-
ings, and other works Of art and
vcrtu will assuredly be restored,
and there will be no difficulty in
finding another house for Theirs.
Although at his age he must
have felt seriously this disturbance
of his household goods, yet he
takes the matter very philosophi-
cally. He, in turn, is to take his
revenge, and he has already de-
clared what it shall be. His house
has been razed to the ground, and
only a heap Of rubbish remains.
The land on which it stood cannot
be carried away like the library
and furniture. He says he will
leave everything exactly as he
finds it on his return to Paris, and
by his will prevent his heirs from
ever disturbing it, so that the scene
may continue a perpetual memento
OF the disgraceful conduct of the
authors of the mischief This, and
the absence of the well-known
Vendome Column, will be enough
to cover the perpetrators of the
wanton misdeeds with everlasting
shame.

BY MRS. d. N. JORDAN.

Oh, beautiful Queen of the summer,
With roses royal red,
And sunsets-5right with the glory,
From heavens own portal shed.
We have said farewell for sea son,
To thy beautiful herald May,
And with hearts that are filled with sadness :,
Welcome thy beauty to-day.
For when the green fields of the harvest,
For the reapers were growing white,
And roses were dropping their Grim son
leaves
And fading away in night
We watched with hearts that were breaking
By our stricken darlng's bed,
And listened with feeling akin to awe,
To the childish words he said.
And we knew by the shining radiance
That circled around his brow,
That his feet were on the Journey
Toward where he is resting now.
Wei bv the patient sweetness,
That meekly bore the pain,
That never more with childish mrth,
He would gladden. our home again;
And we gathered the childish treasures
And sat by the little bed,
And tried to comfort the weary hours,
That all too swiftly fed.
For his feet were nearing the rivers brink
And the resilesss hands grew chill,
And tried to smother the Rachel civ,
But my soul would not be still
For the lips we're growing purple and chi II
But still with their latest breath,
He sighed my name TIL, forever more,
They were silent and still in death.
And when in the Sabbath stiffness
He lay in the darkened room,
With sweet, pale face and waxen bands,
There was nothing there of gloom.
For l thought, what our darling had SAT-
was true,
Though bowed beneath the rod,
He was sin a nice place Sunday
Whose maker and builder is God.
