ROBBIE,

The Navy Department has received
dispatches from Captain Hall, COM
manding the Polaris, announcing his
arrival at Holstenburg, Greenland, on
the 31st of July, where he was agreeably
surprised at finding Swedish expe-
dition on the return homeward from
Disco and Uppernavic. He learned
that the season for artic navigation is
better than ithas been for several years.
At the date of Captain Halls dispatches
the Polaris was awaiting the arrival OF
the transport Congress with supplies,
and would remain at Holsteinbmg
until August 5th, when the expedition
would weigh anchor for Good Haven.
Captain Hall expected to get supply
of reindeer furs at Holsteinburg, but
none could be found, the reindeer Of
late years having been nearly all killed
off in that neighborhood, and therefore
they must depend on Disco, Uppernav.
ick and Smith Sonnd for their winter
furs and sledge dogs. The ships com.
pany of the Polaris have been in good
health and spirits since leaving New
York, and all remain sanguine thai
the next year their discoveries will
reach to the North Pole.

In an idle hour, twenty-one years
ago, Alfred Townsend, Cape Ann
jeweler. engraved his name on an old.
fashioned copper cent, and paid it out
in the course of trade. The cent took
up line of march and wentoutupor
the world, strange countries for to see
but like the prodigal son it tired o.
wandering, and came back to Mr.
Townsend one day last week, as it went
out, in the course of trade. It would
be curious to know where that penny
went, and how many dollars worth Of
debts it paid while on its travels.

Betting on Raindrops.

The Calcutta merchants have adopted
a novel plan for Willing away idle
hours. According to the Pioneer bet
ting on drops of rain is just now the
fashion in Calcutta, where even respec.
table native merchants bet very large
sums about the rain fall. When the
weather becomes cloudy wagers are
laid as to the time within which the
downpour may be expected. The
wager being laid, the crowd wait pa
tiently to see the water run out of the
spouts for a drizzle is not recognized
and unless the water drips from the
spouts the party who bets that it will
not rain has not lost. Sometimes the
utmost confusion prevails; it rains fol
a few minutes and the crowd looks
anxiously at the spouts; if the water
does not drop the yell is terrific, losers
attribute it to foul play, and boys are
Immediately sent up to the top of the
house to see whether the spout has
been tampered with.

AGGRAVATION OF THE SOUTH.

on the very face of things, much of the
continued sggrsvsiion of the South com. 8

who, by making it the means 20 an end,
elevate themselves to place and position,
and maintain themselves there by con

then call upon Congress to put this strife
down with the strong arm of the military.
The Tribune singularly fails to see that
this is done in the interest of the Radical
party as well as of themselves. But for
their work, Congress could never have
passed the Ku-Klux bill by which the
President is authorized to quarter soldiers
upon the people of the South, and to sus-
pend the hsbeas corpus. Their infamy
has been seized upon to justify Congress
TO do what no Congress would have dared

PRESIDENTIAL PROsPEoTrNGs

PHESIDENTIAA FHOSPECI1NesS
We may consider it pretty well settled
that Gen. Grant must be the Radical can
didate next year for the Presidency. The
scarcity of prominent men in the Radical
party, who are at once talented and popu-
lar, leaves little other choice. The i'm
mense Federal patronage at his command,
the unquestioning and almost unanimous
subserviency of the representative men
of the party in Congress, and all the CO.
horts of corruption will make it sure.
The struggle therefore will be for the
Vice Presidency. Senator Morton per-
haps expects this as the reward for his
jealous services, and we would like to zee
him secure the nomination, for it would
not bring to the ticket one iots of addi-
tionsl strength. Boutwell,, il plant
enough to accept, would be stronger in so
far as he represents the moDopolists and
capitalists of the Bsst.
While indulging speculations, we must
not forget ex- Senator Revels, the mention of
whose name in certain quarters suggests,
not himself, but Fred. Douglass, the in
innate friend of Grant, who is now rising
rapidly in the political horizon, being
already talked of for Secretary of State
of the District of Columbia. Would not
Grant and Douglass be an eminently ap-
propiate ticket for the Radical party !
How it would dovetail into the 'eternsl
fitness of thingsv How it would en-
rapture the Massachusetts, moralists, Sum-
ner, Wilson, Butler, etc. How it would
sweep the South, on whose colored vote
The fate of Radicslism hsngsl And,
withal, it woald be eminently logical.
By all means, let our dusky brethren in

of the South be honestly represented in
the National Convention, and make their
power felt in the party.

THR rumored' intervention of the
Prussians in the Partisan troubles, does
not seem to be positive. They will in.
terfere only in case of the ultimate sue
cess of the Commune; and even this
seems doubtful, since the Commune has
freely pledged itself to pay the war in
demnity, and proposes to sell out the i'm
perial palaces for this purpose. In the
meantime they will not permit Paris TO be
victualed for siege by way of st. Denis,
that is, up the river Seine; and they will
not trammel McMshon in marshaling his
forces against the insurgents.
