The New Arctic Expeditions.

The problem of an open Polar Sea, is still UNI
solved, and until it is SO, the adventurous spirits
will be found who will venture their lives in the
sailed on his exploring expedition to the Arctic,
June 80. The route of the expedition is to be by
way of st. Johns, Davis Strait, and the Danish
settlement of Disco, on the west coast of Green
land thence across Bafin's Bay to winter quar-
tiers in Jones' Sound thence in the early spring
across the ice fields toward the Pole, and, if the
route leads to an open sea, to launch his boats for
the exploration of its unknown waters. The ex-
petition will be accompanied by two native Esqui-
maux, a man and a woman, who have been with
Capt. Hall since his first Arctic adventures.
Almost simultaneously with this American ex-
petition a Frencman, NJ. Octave Pavy, purposes
to test, at his own expense and risk, an untried
theory of Arctic exploration, by way of Behring
Strait. This is the theory of Capt. Silas Bent,
Endorsed by Prof. L. Is. Maury, and adopted by
others. 1t supposes that one of the great ocean
currents originating about the equator and sweep
ing past the coasts of China and Japan, and
known to enter Behrlng Strait, passes on to the
open Polar sea, bearing with it to the last some
of the heat of its original waters. To reach the
Polar sea, therefore, it is only necessary to steam
or sail or drift with this current by the aid of
T~hermometrical soundings, and the voyager is in
evitably borne thither.
M. Pavy.' says the New York Journal Of Com
merce. will leave san Francisco in July, and
proceed to Petropaulski. Kamschatka thence to
the gulf of Anadir by ship thence overland to
Cape Jalan. on the north coast of Siberia. From
this point he will sail in IA boat of peculiar con-
struction to the North Pole OF to its neighborho"d.
Tie boat is made of gutta percha covered with
canvas. like the NonpdreI. which safely crossed
tie Atlantic. and on the same principle as the
spOrtman.s raft. lately exhibited at the office of
til paper. 1t will float 10000 lbs. weight, and
can be rolled up small and packed on Il sledge. so
that NJ. Pavy can sail in safety or journey with his
compressed boat over the ice ut pleasure. His
party will consist of three natives and four Euro
peans, making. with himself. eight in all. They
will he well provided with necessaries for the eX-
pedilion. and expect to receive the assistance of
Russian officials in Siberia"
From Europe we hear of still another Arctic
Expedition. a Professor Nordenskiold started
from Stockholm in May, to try and reach the
Polar sea.

HE UNIVERSAL REMEDY FOR INTERNAL
AND EXTERNAL COMPLAINTS.

At this period there are but few Of the human
race unacquainted with the merits Of the Pain
Killer; but while some exto it as a liniment, they
know but little of its power in easing pain when
taken internally, while others it internally
with great success, but are equally ignorant of
its healing virtues when applied externally. We,
therefore, wish to say to all that it is equally
cessful whether used internally externally, and
it stands alone, unrivalled by all the great cata-
logue of Family Medicines, and its sale is univer
sal and immense. The demand for it from India
and other foreign countries is equal to the de-
mand at home, and it has BECOME known in these
far off countries by It's merits. Davis Pain Kill
Ter is purely vegetable con pound, and while 1t
is a most efficient remedy for pain, it is per-
fectly safe medicine even in the most unskillful
hands. For summer complaint, or any other form
of bowel disease in children adults, it is al
most certain cure, as it has, without doubt been
more successful in curing the various kinds of
CHOLERA than any other known remedy, or the
most skillful. physician. In India, Africa and
China, where this dreadful disease is ever more
or less prevalent, the PAIN KILLER is considered
by the natives, as well as EUROPEAN residents in
those climates, SURE REMEDY.
