THE PoLARIs ExpED1TloN-The United
States steamer Juniata, now at the Boston
Navy Yard, has been ordered to Disco and
Uppernavick to search for the Polaris and rcu-
der any assistance to that vessel she may need if
she can be reached. The Junata is a wooden
screw steamer Of the third class, and is register
ed at S2S tons. She is commanded by Com
mauder Braine, an officer of some experience
The vessel has recently been put 10 thorough
repair, and can sail in few days. She will
probably carry the Esquimaux who came with
Captain Tyson's party back to their native
land. At Disco and the Uppernavick, it is be-
lieved some of the crew of the Polars will be
found, as it was believed Buddington would
winter the vessel in Northumberland Sound,
from whence some of the crew would make
their way to those places.
The dispatch states that enough has been
limited around the hayward to show that the
report of the Secretary of the Navy will indi-
that jealousy and intrigue prevailed on the Po-
laris from the day she sailed. Captain Hall
found that Buddiogton opposed him, and when
the Polaris reached the farthest point north,
with everything favorable in prospect, Budding
ton refused to 60 further, when Hall became
discouraged, and Buddington, after Halls
DEATH was constantly drunk.
Captain Halls widow arrived at Washington
Yesterday, from Cincinnati, and was surprised
to find the crew gone, as she desired to talk
with them about her husbands death.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
"70 shos0 the very age and body Of the Tunes. y

Father Anthony Grim, French Catholic
priest, who had until recently been laboring IS
a missionary among the Indians, committed
suicide at Washington yesterday morning.
Since his arrival at Washington he had been
stopping at Providence Hospital, an institution
managed by the Sisters of Charity. He went
out shortly after daybreak, apparently to take
walk, and was not seen again alive. At 10
a. IN. his body was found floating in the eastern
branch Of the Potomac.
A very turbulent convention of q portion of
the colored population of Baltimore was heldlast
night. The convention" was called for the
purpose Of giving expression to the views OF
certain colored politicians concerning the distr-
button of Offices at the Custom House. 1t
happened, however that those who are salts,
fed with the Custom House management got
control ofthe convention, and effected an ad-
iournment before any action was taken.
The baud of the Prince George Regiment of
the Saxon army embarked at Hamburg yes

DIDN'T LIKE IA lady with poodle dog
entered the smoking-car on a Western train
the other day. and when the conductor cndeav-
ored to persuade her to 60 into another car,
she refused, saying her presence would deter
the occupants from smoking. A gentleman,
however, took out cigar, and began to smoke
when she wrenched it from his mouth, eycIaim-
ing: IF there is anything l dc hate, it is to-
bacco smoke" The passengers who had wit
messed the affair were convuIsed with laughter
but the offending smoker suppressed whatever
emotions may have been struggling for express
sion 10 wordsor action, and maintained through
out the same imperturbable gravity which had
characterized him from the first. Calmly rising
from bis seat, he opened the window nearest
him, fastening it up, and reaching over the
seat back took that woman's poodle dog and
threw him out of the window as far beyond as
possible, at the same time saying eff there is
anything | do hate, it, poodle dogI'

A MAMMOTH ORGAN. Mr. Thomas Winaus
is building an immense organ in connection
with his private music hall, conspicuous for the
tall chimney, which towers above the build
Jugs and trees Of his splendid city residence
in the western section OF the city. The organ,
it is understood, will be, when completed,
the largest ever constructed anywhere, and
is being built without regard to cost. AS
there is more or less of experiment in the
structure, Mr.. Winans has been rcticeut about
his plans and purposes, but tits known that Pom
plitz is the builder, and one of the mammoth
wooden ''pipes' for the instrument being noticed
on the street yesterday, attracted general atten-
ton. The pipe" was thirty two feet in length
and about two feet quare. 1t was painted ye
low and looked like huge smoke stack.
1t is understood that the organ will have over
twenty-five base pipes of this size and descrip-
ton, besides forrest of smaller pipes, requi-
ring altogether, it would seem, the wind of a
hurricane almost to make EN- blow. 1t is also
stated that it will be yet before the organ
is finished, and that it will be run with steam,
and is intended to eclipse the organs of the
world, including even the pride of Boston. 1t
will be in fact sort of concentrated jubilee 10
itself, when it is once set agoing.-Bah. Sun.
