Pavy OIL for the Pole.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
Some weeks ago the Chronicle publish
cd an interesting account of the ex-
plorations made in the icy regions of
the North by M. Octave Pavy, an ad-
venturous young French gentleman of
wealth and education; and also gave
some particulars of his new attempt
to reach the open Polar Sea, as fur
nished by M.pavy. His preparations
for the perilous undertaking are now
nearly completed, and the expedition
will start about the 25th inst. The
Alaska Herald states that M. Paw
will be accompanied by DIR. Chess
more, of the army, who has passed
some six years in the high northern
ATTITUDES of Alaska; Capt. Micks, the
daring seaman who crossed the Allan
tic on the raft Nonpariel, and Watkins,
a celebrated Rocky Mountain hunter,
reputed the best shot in all the wild
region around Laramie. He will be
provided with rubber raft built like
the Nonpareil, which can be transpor-
ted with ease on the land, and is vet
capable of carrying large weight on
the water. From San Francisco a
small schooner will take the expedi-
ton to Petropaulowski, where dogs
and fur clothing will be procured, and
afterwards to some point on Wrangels
Island; whence in sledges the bold
discoveries will pass on TO the open
Polar Sea, of whose existence M. Pa
Wy is fully 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 expedition
will be successful, and that to M. Pa
Wy and his associates will belong the
honor of solving the problem Of cen
turtles, and Of accomplishing what SO
many gallants have attempted only to
fail. w. -.

What the Weak Need.

Why do the debiltated and feeble dread the sum
mer? It's because heat is an exhausting element,
and they are not in q condition to bear the new
drain upon their languid systems, which they think
must necessarily commence with the warm wealth
err But cannot this evil be obyated? Most in
dubitably it can. What these weaklings need-in
fact, what nne.tenths of US need at this seasons
an accession of physical vigor, and this desidera
tum can be secured, with absolute certainty, by a
course ofthe mghtest, yet mldest OF all vegetable
tonics Hostetter's Stomach Bitte-s.
Thousands of men OF business, mechanics and
professional men, break down, partially or wholly,
under their summer labors simply because they
have neglected to reinforce the powers of nature
in this way. To persons who use the celebrated
invigorant and corrective regularly in hot weather
the exhaustion which excessive heat is apt to pro-
duce under other circumstances is unknown They
are not troubled with nausea. their appetites are
good, their digestion excellent and their habit Of
body all that can be desired. This for twenty years
has been the uniform testimony of all who have
taken the Bitters as a summer tonic and Alternative.
Its efficacy is due to the care and scrupulous H.
deity to the teachings of experimental science,
with which its medicinal ingredients have been
cued from the vegetable kingdom, the admirable
proportions in which they are combined and the
unequalied purity of its stimuatve basis.

SIXTEEN YEARS OF SUCCEss.-In 1856 the
now famous MUSTANG L1NIMENT was first
made known to the public by an extensive sys-
tenn of advertising. From that time to the
present, the demand for it has been steadily
increasing until it has taken the lead of all
embrocations, lotions, Ointments, and other
external remedies, imported or domestic, ever
introduced into the American market. In the
most celebrated racing and trotting stables, in
the establishments of stage and city car COM
panies and in the stables of private gentle
men, it is the only recognized cure for such
diseases of the horse as require outward treat
ment. Nor is it less valuable as a local ap-
plcation for some of the most distressing
complaints to which man is subject Rheuma-
tism, stiffness of the joints, neuralgia, sore
throat, tumors, wens, earache, toothache,
yield to its pain subduing, counter-irritant
properties; and burns, scalds and cuts are
healed with incredible rapidity under its opera
ton. june4 +&wlweod

tails was made and accepted, only one point,
that OF Utah, creating a ripple. Speeches
were made by several gentlemen, a colored
State Official from Mississippi being one OF
the orators of the occasion. Gen. Noyes of

IL great favorite. The conve ntion grew i'm
patient for the nominations, and rescinded
the rule requiring the platform to be first re-
ported. 1t was Mr.. Cullom of Illinois, a
swarthy son of the prairies, with strong voice
and fluent speech, who had the honor Of plac-
ing Gen. Grant in denomination. 1t is inn
possible to describe the scene that follow ed
1t seemed as if the vast audience, magnetic ed
by one powerful and pervadipg WILL rose to.
gether. Cheers surged through the building,
peal upon peal, great waves of sound tina,
overhowed the walls and were canght up by
the vast multitude without, and came roaring
back increasing in volume through every open
door. Hats, canes, and handkerchiefs were
waved, the band struck in with martial strains
and the cheers, dying away from exhaustion,
were renewed again and a gain, as there was un-
rolled at the back of the stage a cleverly exc
cuted picture of the man on horseback. Gen.
Woodtord seconded the nomination for New
York in fit words and penetrating accents. 1,
is no use attempting to follow the call ut
States, and the pithy, witty, vigorous and &C.
each chairman announced his delegation S
choice. At the close there was not dissent
ing vote. Then came another exciting scene,
as this result was announced; from the tier,
where the band stood, stirring campaign
song was sung, which deepened and aroused
the excited audience. ''John Brown was
called for and sung with tremendous effect,
every voice of the thousands joining with and
swelling the martial and inspiring hallelujah
chorus. Col Church of Montana, who sung
the "Red, White and Blue" at Chicago when
Lincoln was first nominated, came to the
stage and sung that and marching to the
Sea" with thrilling effect. When he came to
the line,
Glow the da,kies shouted when they heard the
joyful sound"
A Georgia colored delegate emphasized the
words by series of excited yells. Col
Church called for three cheers for the coloret
| delegates who stood by them when ''march'
| ing through Georgia" and the whole audience
| joined and it was striking thing to see ex'
| Confederate Colonies, Governors and Judges
| join with the leaders of the 'boys in blue
responsive 10 such call. Then came the
reading of the platform which was heartily
received. Those portions which gave cordia
| welcome to the new issues relative to womer
and labor were applauded. Those repudiat
ing all further land grants endorsing foreign
| policy and accepted the moderate declaration
| on tariff were received with evident gool
feeling.
