No POLAR expedition ever left this coun-
try with which greater expectations were
hinged than with that which lately went
out under the patronage Of the New York
Herald, and management of Capt. DeLong.
But an old polar salt, named Capt, Laven-
der seems to have greatly weakened those
expectations by little plain, common sense
reasoning. His principal reason is enough
for the purpose, even though passage could
be made or found. One hundred and thirty
five tons of coal--all she can possible carry
are not sufficient to venture SO far outside
of the coal regions with, when the vessel
consumes eight tons day. Another mis-
take, he thinks, is in not providing the YES
sci with several good balloons capable of
making 1900 feet cable ascensions, Ships
have already reached points where at an
elevation of 1000 feet man with tele-
scope could look beyond the place of the
pole, and such an inspection would certainly
solve the question of an open polar sea.

The religious brethren, very properly we
think, are giving Bishop Haven verbal

saving souls, and leave the nomination and
election of Grant to the Belknaps, the Bah
cocks, the Robesons, and other public plum.
derers and place-hunters who have such an
enthusiasm for the third-term candidate.
In short, the Bishops brethren think that
If he wants to make Grant President it will
require his whole time, and if he is deter
mined to carry out his intentions as to
Grant, he had better resign the eccleslast.

THE "MICHIGAN PET" AND THE
NEW YORK UNKNOWN"

Not long ago Senator Chandler took &C.
casion to boast of his proves as pugilist;
said he had had six months severe training
under a widely known master; could hit a
blow Of IRON, and even went so far as to
have Boston reporter "feel of his muscle"
These facts becoming known, New York
pugilist, who signs himself unknown"
challenges Mr.. Chandler to a fstic bout for
$1,000 q side-the unknown even going
so far as to give Mr. c, the advantage of
thirty pounds, and to make his prelimi-
nary deposit with the editor Of the New
York World "since then,"the World says,
"we have not received word from Chand-
Ter, MOI. has he made any deposit. We in
woke the judgment of conscientious sport
ing men on his action The preteXt that is
put forward by some of his friends, that he
is waiting to see his hackers will not avail
him. Chandler IS believed to be able to
back himself, and if he really had the con-
fdence he processes in his own powers we
should have heard from him before this.
Moreover, he and Mr. Hayes are on excel
lent terms since the yetoes were sent in.
Even if Mr.. Hayes is unwilling, on grounds
Of moral scruple or commercial
prudence, to back Zach, small assess
ment (of course not compulsory, but only
suggested as an expression Of zeaD to be
levied on the clerks of the departments
alone would furnish Zach all that he needs
not only for his stake, but for his training
expenses also. 1t is not necessary that the
contest should be an actual prize fight with
in the meaning of the statute. A match
with hard gloves or with blackened gloves,
face hits only to count, would be legal
performance. Such contest between Zach
Chandler and the Unknown would yield
enough in gate money to reimburse the ex-
penses of both men and leave handsome
surplus. We are bound to say to the Mich
igan Pet in all frankness that his course
has given rise to the most unpleasant sus.
picions, and that unless he means to retire
from the ring altogether it behooyes him to
do something to allay these suspicious. We
have letter from our Unknown, which ex-
element and the lack Of early educational
advantages combine to render almost nnde.

is no legal means of SURPRISING such

kind of man to be disturbed by writs of

him. 1t is rumored, however, that he will
be tried by another council of his church as
