The Payy Arctic Expedition.

"Some weeks ago the Ohrogatcle pub
lished an Interesting account of the ex-
plorations made in the icy regions of the
north by NJ. Octave Pavy, an adventur-
Gus young French gentleman of wealth
and education, and also gave some par
ticulars of his proposed new attempt to
reach the open Polar sea, as furnished by
NJ Pavy. His preparations for the peril
Gus undertaking are now nearly complet-
ed, and the expedition will start about
the 25th instant. The Alaska Herald
states that N. Pavy will be accompanied
by DR.. Chessmore, of the army, who has
passed some six years in the high north
ern latitudes of Alaska; Capt. Micks, the
daring seaman who crossed the Atlantic
on the raft Nonpareil, and Watkins, a
celebrated Rocky Mountain hunter, re-
puted to be the best shot in all the wide
region around Laramie. He will be pro-
vided with a rubber raft built like the
Nonpareil, which can be transported with
ease on the land, and is yet capable of
carrying a large weight on the water.
From San Francisco a small schooner
will take the expedition to Petropaulow-
ski, where dogs and fur clothing will be
procured, and afterwards to some point
on Wrangel's Island whence in sledges
the bold discoverers will pass on the open
Polar sea, of whose existence M. Pavy is
firmly convinced. Launching the raft here,
and casting the dogs adrift to shift for
themselves, their intention is to make the
best of their way to the coast OF Greenland,
We have a strong impression that this ex-
pedition will be successful, and that TO Nj.
Pavy and his associates will belong the
honor of solving this problem of centu
ries, and of accomplishing what so many
gallant men have attempted, only tc
fail. San francisco Chronicle.

Mr.. Greeley in Emergencies.

If Mr.. Greeley had been the President
when the Shareholders first threatened re-
volt, he would have shown greater weak
ness than that which has rendered Mr..
Buchanan almost Infamous; for Buchanan
simply denied the right of the National
Government to coerce State, while Mr.
Greeley maintained that the secessionists
ought to be allowed to 60 in peace. This
wasno hasty and impatient outbreak of
sentiment, but fixed conviction, which
likened their revolt to that of our fathers
in the revolution. If Mr. Greeley had
been the President after the disaster of
Bull Run, that temporary success of the
insurgents would have brought about a
total surrender of the North. He was so
limp, flaccid, detected, broken down by
the event. that he lay supine and sprawl
ing upon the floor, with no more stiffness
in him than there is in an empty sack;
and in that spirit he wrote his pusillani
nous card of the next day, signed Ii. G.
AT moment when thenation was shroud
cd in gloom and every manly voice was
lifted to encourage it and quicken is
recovery, this one voice sounded base

Again, in 1864, when perhaps the most
delicate and trying crisis of our history
had arrived; when the BourboN Demo
Gratis were near producing a reaction in
the sentiments of the North; when every.

consistency with which public opinion at
home supported The efforts of oE brave
boys in the field; when lincoln, Stanton,
Sumner, Grant, Sherman and the whole
loyal community were making almost
superhuman endeavors to give a final
stroke to the rebellion-a stroke which
would bring about not only cessation of
hostiities, but the other glorious results

had been the President, instead of Abrai

in certain town in WinOna County, who
had been wooing two young striplings,
the one ten and the other eleven years
her Junior. Both the lads happened to
meet the lady at the same time and both
were on the errand of deciding upon the
day for celebrating the nuptials, as each
had the encouragement to believe himself
the favored suitor. The widow herself
was undecided, and a scene of tears gave
a momentary relief TO the heart; throb-
bings of the two young lovers. Finally
she chose the younger Of the two, and
they parted for the night. In the morning
the discarded lover bethought himself of
his photograph and ring, still in the pos
session of the lady He went to the lady
to obtain them, and again sought favor
in her eyes. She yielded, and promised
if he should get his license FIRST she would
marry him. He left on the afternoon
train for Winona to procure the license,
and noticed his rival on board, who was
on the same errand, but evidently knew
nothing of the new bargain, AS soon as
the train arrived, the lover who held the
latest promise pushed for the clerks Office
and obtained his license, and just as he
was retiring, the rival entered and applied
for license to marry the same woman.
Our hero who had obtained the license
was bound TO press his advantage, and
instead of waiting for the morning train,
which would bear his rival hottle, he
footed it home through the mud the same
night, and secured his prize the next
morning by marrying the grass widder. "
