Miss Emma Jane Jordan, young woman
about 10 years of age, is in Jail in this city, hay
ing been committed from Judge Palmer's court
in Gardiner, for obtaining bracelets and other
iewelry, under false pretenccs, from one Maria
A. Cony, the value of the property being about
six dollars. 1t is alleged that the transaction
took place on the 10th of October last. The
joke Of the matter is, that Emma was COM
mitted to Jail for thirty days on the 25th of
September last, and was in Jail on the said
10th of October. 1t is therefore likely that
she may be able to prove an ali6i.

DEAR JOURNAL A seedy looking individ-
uai called at my office last week, claiming to
, cure Asthma, Catarrh, Rheumatism, &c. All
the pay he required was what he pretended
the medicine cost him, as some of the material
cost him sixty dollars per pound. He called
himself DR.. Deland, and hailed from Chelsea,
Mass. He also claimed to have been surgeon
inthe 47th Massachusetts Regiment.
/ have taken the pains to write parties who
were members of that regiment, and enclose
letter from Mr.. j. Lyman Randall of Bos-
ton, with whom l have long had business
intercourse. A copy of said letter herewith
enclose:

j. r. SAwTELLE, ESQ.
Dear Sir-Yours received. Have delayed
answering that might obtain some facts in
the case. The surgeon of the 47th Regiment
was DIR. Blackman; Assistant Surgeon. DR..
Mercer. / have examined the official records
man in any way connected with the regiment,
even down to boot black. Doubtless It is
"genuine SELL" Lock out for him.
Respectfully,
J.. l.. RANDALL,
A journalist is supposed to expose hum
bugs whenever found, and it seems due to the
public that the swindle should be exploded.
1t may be needless to say that was one of
the victims to the amount of two dollars and

Friday evening last, the members of Frank
lin Division, S. of T., accepted an invitation
from Soldiers Division, No 5, to attend the
installation Of the officers of that Division at
the Asylum at Tusus. About fifty visiting
brethren and sisters of the order, were pres
ent, including Governor Perham and Joshua
Nye, Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Grand
Lodge of Maine.
The installation was made public and held
in the new hall of the Asylum, which was well
filled with soldiers and members of the order.
The Asylum Band was present and enlivened
the occasion with several fine pieces of music.
After the installation of officers, Governor
Perham made some very able and interesting
remarks and gave some excellent advice to
the soldiers, which was received by them with
much applause. He was followed in warm
hearted and earnest speech by G. W. p. Nye,
after which Miss Eta Bartlett favored the au-
dience with some select temperance melodies,
which were loudly encored. The meeting
was then closed with music by the Band.
The visiting members are under obligations
to Capt. Woodfn for the courtesy shown them
during their short visit. S. OF I.

THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
Synopsis OF bis RsPoEs-Short and sweet
Changes and Befsrms BecOm-
mended.

NEW YORK, November s.-The annual re-
port OF the Secretary Of War this year is quite
brief. He compliments Congress for such
co1npleteness IN last years legislation, and
says that there is little room for legislative re-
recommendations.
The Secretary recommends the establish
ment OF military prisons IN place OF the pres
ent system Of sending army con nvicts 70 state
penttenuaries. He also recommends the en-
solment OF a code Of specific punlshmenia for
army ofieeFE.
Dssertlons are reported as greatly fallen OF
during the past year.
He reneNs the recommendation that the
extra 70 each regiment be dispensed with. a.
vacancies occur, thus that saving one hundred
and sixty thousand dollars per annum.
lie advises raising 70 an intel lectual standard
large number Of now useless arsenals ln the
south and elsewhere; the establishment Of a
general arsenal Of construction on the Atlantic
slope, and another on the Pacific. These ARSE
mails, with that already ct Rock Island, in the
Mississippi v alley, would efficiently meet the
wants the service that the times need. The
progress In experiments with improved navy
ordnance and with breechlOading small arms
IS slow.
He considers that channel distractions and
t0rpedOee have been successful in determin-
Ing one kind 70 be used. and recommends the
ss11age Of torpedoes FOR the defense OF New
York and other harbors.
The new system Of inspecting disburslua OF
ncers' ACCOUNTS is in full operation.
He concludes BY regrertlng that ons-slzth Of
the army r. stin detained in the southern
States east Of the Mississippi river and hopes
that the improving social condition wiil soon
relieve that force for frontier services, and
says that military operations are on the de-
soending scale.

THE POLAR OCEAN.
Important Discoveries i'm Artie GsOEra-
pay BY Norwegian Explores.

Recent publications made by sfa.
Bent have invested expeditions 10 the
North Pole with deal Of popular inter
est The Herald tells that Captain Nil
Johnson has attained the high latitude
Of nearly eighty degrees north, and
from the SUBMITS Of the hills found
that the sea 70 the northeastward, IN the
tract or Payers and WeypTeeht's expe-
diuOn Of last year, was entirely free
from ice. This cOTroborates the Aus
trlan reports Of the iceless sea stretching
toward the pole, along the supposed
pathway OF the prolonged equatorial
surface current and the gulf stream, be-
tween Nova Zembia and Spitzbergen.
The islands visited by the Norwegian
explorer lie In the very throat, or, at
least, on the edge OF the great Polar ice
current which IN July, 1877, when only
four hundred and thirty geographical
miles from the pole, compelled Sir Ed
ward Parry to give up his advance north
ward, because in that hight Of Artic
summer al the ice-fields wereih motion,
and swept faster 70 the south than his
men could drag their boats to
the north. If the observations now
announced show an iceless sea north
west Of the newly discovered islands
the strong inference l. that In
the deep channel eastward and nearer
70 Nova Zembls this years expeditions
viii fnd warmer weather, sOutherly
winds and the extension Of the gulf
stream, producing and maintaining an
open gateway 70 the extreme latitudes
of our globe. The fact observed by
Captain johnson Of enormous piles Of
driitwood stTewn longitudinally along
the coast Of the neW-f0und land, proves
that the currents Of the Arctic ocean are
neither idle nor feeble forces, but play .
stupendous part IN breaking up the ices
aud mitigating the climate Of the pole.
Viewing the Norwegian exploration in
this light, it viii be Of great interest and
OF permanent value in Arctic geography

I GILLFLAHD-At Afhville, North Carolina
October %, 1872, JESSE r. s. GILLILAND.
/ JESSE r. 8. GLLILAND, was born at Ash
/ vile, n. c, AS young mamie came TO Mem
| phis In 1855, and became book-keeper in the
Bank OF Memphis. To the great satisfaction
Of his employers and credit to himself, hs
/ held this position until the spring or 1851
when he entered the Confederate army. He
was wounded at Renesaw Mountain. Id
soon recovered from his wound, and again
Joined hts regiment, and did true soldiers
duty until he was surrendered on the soil-o OF
his native State in April, 1855 Whether in
camp, on the march, or on the field Of battle
JESSE GrLLII.AND was always the same true
noble-hearted man. The hardships Of the
lie OF soldier, who never shirlzed duty, were
greater than his strength could besr. With a
broken constitution he returned 10 Memphis
at the close Of the war. Some six months ago
his health became so bad that he went home
20 North Carolina, in the hope that, with rest
and the bracing mountain air, he would
recover. But twas too late. His health grad
ually grew worse, until on the 2Sd Of October,
1872, the generous soul OF JESSE GuLILAND
took its flight 20 the home Of inst men made
perfect.
The writer OF this knew the deceased init
mately. A more kind-hearted, generous, un-
selfish man; man more carefully conside-
rate Of the rights snd pleasures OF Others; q
more reliable, true and Just man in all things,
I never knew. I doubt if there is single
man IN all this world who can truthfully say
that JESSE GILLILASD ever wronged him.
There are hundreds who are indebted to his
generosity. He was a true laborer; earned
what he used Of this worlds goods; owed no
man hate; was at peace with al men; envied
no mans happiness; was glad at other mems
good. Without being a member OF any
church he, upon principle, practiced nearly
all the Christian virtues. I know no man,
whether he be simply a prOfessed believer in,
or a minister Of the gospel Of Christ, who
lived more nearly Christian life than did
JESSE GILLILAND.

GRAND JURIEs AND THE NEW

been The medium Of cOwardly stabs Ia
the back, for men who had not the
manliness 10 come forward without the
foolish shelter Of being forced to testi-
~ uY the c0urt.F The Solicitor becomes
the tool Of designing parties involun-
tsnly. II IS impossible Tor him to know
mems minds OF motives, and upon re-
ceipt Of the Information, bis duty As a
sworn official compels him to draw a
bill OF Indictment and send 1t TO the
secret conclaye for action. This Is often
y very disagreeatie duty to perform. Int
the solicitor cannot shirk the respousi-
bility. Friend OF foe, rich or poor higb
or low, indictments must be drawn up0n

aud involuntary witnesses are dragaed

IN this county costs thousands Of doIlAus
per year, and throe-f0urths Of the cases
Tor trial are originated in hatred and
malice, and unworthy Of a place on the

one is indicted and tried. He instantly
gets ont q secret indictment against the
