Ke-Discoyery of The Open Polar Sen.
Captain Nils johnson, who sailed in d yacht OF
26 tons burden from Fromsoe, Norway, May 8,
with crew Of nine men, has just been heard
from through DR.. Peterman, OF Gotha, Germany,
who makes public these interesting facts: Cap
tain johnson directed his course in June toward
the western half Of the open sea, reaching, in
the latter part Of the month, the middle OF the
usual position OF the polar stream which bears
vast masses Of ice toward the Spitzenbersen and
the Bear Islands. but which this year DETECTED
toward Nova zemb1a, further east, LEAVING the
western half of the sea free from ice. Spending
portion of the time in whale-fshing, he had
by Aug. Is reached IS degrees north latitude, and
80 degrees east longitude, where he came In sight
Of land, which first appeared upon maps In lSli
as Wicheland, and which Was then given as e1-
tending from 7355d degrees to 75M degrees north
latitude. The land in these seas, however. has
never been very definitely located. The whole sea
to the south and east Of this lnnd Captain john
son found entirely free from ice on Aug: Is. On
the 18th Of August, he anchored near the point
Of this land in north latitude ~ degrees min
utes and east longitude 80 degrees IS minutes,
for the purpose Of fishing and supplying himself
with fuel from the immense piles Of driftwooa
which were accumulated along the shore. Land
ing to explore the land which he was first to set
foot upon, he ascended q mountain near the
coast, from which he obtained q view over 9

The amountof scalping continu-

abate the least, Notwithstanding the or
ganization Of the hackmen's associa-
tion. Every day there is complaint Of
extortion on the part of hack drivers
and of sharp practice upon the unso-
phisticated Yesterday a Jehu known
as Robt. Kopki, driver Of hack No. IL,
invited man named VIM. Kennedy to
ride with him to his stable. When they
had gotten in the stable Kennedy pulled
out a roll of money, which he had no
sooner done than Kopki grabbed and
ran away with it. Kennedy remained
in the stable till about three o'clock this
morning. Kopki returned and inquired
what he was doing there, threatening his
arrest for trespass if he did not leave
peremptorily. Kennedy loitered about
the place until daylight, when he started
to the station-house. On his way he met
Captain Smith, who went with him and
arrested Kopki, taking him before Re
cOrder Winters this morning. Kopki
was committed in default of $4,000 bail.

NEW YORK.

New TohK, February 9.-The. Tri
bune's special from Washington, on the
subject of the Geneva difficulty, says
General Grant has declared that our po
sition must be maintained, and the sen
timent Of Congress strongly supports
him, but even among the best friends o.
the administration the conviction is
gaining ground that the affair has been
badly managed. We have presented q
doubtful bin of such enormous magni
tude that Europe stands amazed. The
writer also states that Washington poll
ticians consider it extremely doubtful
whether the arbitrators would award q
dollar of consequential damages Sum
ner and other prominent individuals
pronounce this opinion.
The Times special from Washington
says dispatches we're received in that
city from banking houses in New York
asking if it was true that the govern
ment had resolved to back down, as ru.
mored, from the position presented in
its case. These we're all answered in
the negative. sns,.i
No official communication from the
British government he's yet been re-
ceived. The correspondent, adds that
the printed dispatches represented as
having passed between Secretary Fish
and Minister Schenek are bold forgeries.

just at the period when all stdble-men
were complaining that the horse-oint-
ments were unstable remedies, the Mus
tang Eminent made its entree in Mis-
souri,, without any flourish of trumpets,
and within one year became the favorite
embrocation for the external distempers
and injuries Of horses and cattle in all
the Western and Southern States. From
that time to this it has never had a rival
in the estimation ofaccomplished horse
men; nor is its household reputation as
a cure for Rheumatism, neuralgia, sore
throat, earache, toothache, bruises,
burns, wounds and sprains, a whit be-
hind its celebrity as horse liniment
The mothers of America know its value
and apply it promptly to the external
injuries of the rising generation" and
in fact there is not city or township in

WASHINGTON, February 9.-The secre

which will examine all candidates for

The report that was current in certain
quarters yesterday, to the effect thatim-
portant dispatches had been received
by the Secretary from John Rose and
other English statesmen, earnestly urg-
ing our government either to recede
from its case or name a gross sum IN
lieu of general damages, is without
foundation, nor has any dispatches been
forwarded, to the secretary from John
Rose or any other English statesman.
If Mr.. Thornton has received anything
officially bearing on the subject, he has
so far communicated nothing to our
government. The only dispatch sent
from here to London which, it is sup
posed, had any bearing on the treaty
excitement was sent by Secretary Fish
to Minister Shsnck on Monday last.
There appears TO be but one view
among senators and representatives re-
spectipg the attitude which the English
government hes taken in reference to
the eIaims Of the United States sub
mitted to the Geneva congress, and that
is that the proposed action of that ma
ton cannot be sustained, and the board

of the claims in adeshon. 2 N Wsn
The committee 1on ways and means
had an important meeting yesterday,

There is no truth in the statement
published that there has been an es-
triahgement between Secretary Fish and
General Sickles; on the contrary, the
best feelings exist between them.

Mark Heber's Luck.
AN INDIAN STORY.

Mark IIeber returned home from his fathers
funeral with the problem Of his own future
pr essing upon his thoughts, and demanding a
prompt solution.
His home had been, from his earliest re-
membrance, upon a stony, worn out farm of
hfly acres, situated upon tle Seneca Lake, in
Western New York. His father had become
so heavily involved in debt, that two weeks
before his death tho farm had been sold by
foreclosure Of mortgage
And now what was Mark TO dOY
He was lad Of nineteen, slight and boysh
in frame, but with the strength Of a man in
his snewy arms. He had had the usual adj
vanlages Of education afforded to farmers
sons
He returned home from his fathers grave
10 the small, uupainled story and a halfhouse,
and after him came his fathers only brother,
well-to-do farmer, who resided in the
neighborhood
This uncle, Mr.. William Ileber, was man
OF sixty years, pompous and selfimportant
His soul was of the smallest pattern, and he
had never been known to do a generous deed
while he had done many mean ones
"Well, Mark" said his uncle, ave sent
my folks on home, SO that can have good
talk with you Morgan tells me he wants the
farm. He has held of two weeks while
George was dying, but he wants to move in

LOVE UNExPREssED.



The sweetest notes among the human heait.a'fihgs
Are dull with rust
,rbe sweetest chords. adjusted by TIE angels,
Are cogged with dust
We uipo and pipe again our dreaty music
tpon the self same strains,
while sounds Of crime, and fear, and desolaton,
Come back In sad retrains
I'm through tho world we 60, an army marching
with listening ears,
Each longing, sighting for the heavenly music
He never hears
zach longing, signing for a word OF comfort,
word Of tender praise,
A word love, TO cheer the endless Journey
Ofenrth's hard, burytlays
They love US, and we know II this suhices
For reasons share,
WHY should they pause to give that love expression
with gentle csrei
why should they ppusef But s our hearts are hchli
With ali the gnawlng pain
Ofhungry love that longs TO hear the music,
Aud longs and long In vain.
We love them, md they know Il II we hller.
With fingers numb,
Amorg the unused strings Of loves expression,
The notes are dumb.
We shrink within ourselves In yolcelcss sorrow,
Leaving the words unsaid,
Aud, side by side With those We love the deares',
In silence on we tread.
Thus On we tread and thus each heart in silence
Its fnte filhls,
wnltng and hoping for the heavenly muse
Beyond the distant hills.

From love on earth below

And there we all shall know
