The Arctic Exploring Yacht.

san FRANcIsco, July s. The Arctic ex-
ploring yacht Jeanette sailed this afternoon.
Long before the hour fixed for her departure
the pier heads and ships along the city front,
and the hill tops, were crowded with specta-
tors, while the bay was lively with yachts
and steamers.
Some delay occurred, and 1t was not until
o'clock that the order was given to weigh
anchor. The jeanette was conveyed by the
steam tug Miller and five others, attended by
the entire yacht squadron, all bearing full
load of spectators.
The jeanette steamed slowly down the har-
Dor, amid the dipping of flags, the screaming
of steam whistles and the salute of ten guns
The jeanette was deeply loaded with coal
and stores, and her progress was so slow that
it was not till half past six that she got out
side the heads. Here she stopped few min
utes, while the wife of 1t. belong was trans
ferred to the yacht Frolic, and the steamers
and yachts in attendance then passed under
the stern of the Jeanette, the crowds cheer
ing for 1t belong and the expedition.
The Jeanette's engines again started, and
in company with the schooner Fannia A.
Hyde, which goes to Behring's Sea coal
and provision tender, she steamed seward.

Bowdoin College Class Day.

Yesterday openedvery unfortunately for the
exercises of Glass Day, heavy rain having
set in early in the morning. The afternoon
exercises, usually held under the "Old Oak"
and the dance on the green both had to be
carried out, the one in the First Parish
church, the other in Lemont hall. This oc-
casioned considerable disappointment, as no
pains had been spared to make these exercis-
es of the greatest interest. But in spite of
these disappointments the class endeavored
to entertain their friends, who had gathered
in town in large numbers, to their satisfac-
faction, and they fully succeeded in doing so.
In the morning at 10. 80 the Grafton and poem
were delivered in the First Parish church.
There was a large number OF the friends of
the class present, and all were well pleased
With the productions. Chandler furnished
music. The following was the programme

Lemont Hall was the scene of most bril-
liant affair in the evening. Although the
rain had compelled the abandonment of fes-
tivities on a brilliantly illuminated campus,
yet it rendered the hall cool and comfortable.
The many ladies who graced the occasion
never appeared to better advantage. Their
toilets were elegant and elaborate. The
grand march was ushered in by Chambers
excellent music, and the party enjoyed one
of the most delightful dances ever held at
commencement AT late hour the friends
of the graduating class repaired to their sew
eral rooms to partake of the beautiful
spreads which had been prepared, and all
agreed that in spite of the inclemency Of the
weather it was a most enjoyable OCCASION
and one to be cherished as a bright spot in
the college life of the class of ~.

ternity holds its annual meeting. In the at

ALL FOR SPITE.
Attempts to Fasten a Horrible Murder
on Innocent Parties.

BosroS, July 8. Mary Z. Cohen and An
ME NJ Brown, patients in the Boston city
hospital, were brought into the police court,
this morning. to give evidence concerning
certain statements made by them duplicating
certain parties in the Jennie Clarke murder
These girls had reported to detectives and
others that they were cognizant of certain
parties having taken part in that tragedy.
Their assertions caused no little excitement
at police headquarters and rigid examina-
ton was set on foot. Later Developments,
however, show that the women had made Sc
rious declarations to "spite" persons who had
offended them.
1t required rigid cross examination to OBJ
tain the fact that they were charging inno-
cent parties. The perjurers are now out on
bail

The property now held by the Trustees of
the Cony Female Academy, was given by the
ucation. For many years it has failed of its
purpose. The days of Female Academies
have gone by. Were Judge Cony now to give
his property to the cause of education, he
would doubtless give it for an academy or
high school for both sexes. How could the
trustees any better carry out the real inten-
ton of the donor, than by giving the proper
ty to the city of Augusta, to be forever held
in trust for the benefit Of the high school? In
recognition Of the gift, the school should be
named the "Cony Free High School" Would
not that be a much better monument to the
memory of Judge Cony, than the present
moribund Female Academy.

State several days, and may make short adj

vented him from keeping the engagement

Postmaster General Key, accompanied by
his wife and two daughters, leave Washing
ton Tomorrow for New York city, where they
will remain few days and then proceed to
various points in New England on pleasure
tour.
Postal Matters.
The Postmaster General has issued orders
dividing all free delivery cities of the United
States into two classes, with view to COM
pletely classifying the letter carriers in nc
cordance with the requirements of the law of
last February. The first class consists of
cities having a population of seyenty-fve
thousand or upwards. All other cities where
the free delivery system is now in operation,
Go in number, are placed in the second class,
which will be added to from time to time, UNI
der the provisions of the new law, authoriz-
ing the establishment of free delivery in eve
ry city or town where the population amounts
to twenty thousand people, or the gross pos
order fixes the pay of all letter carriers in
second class cities, for the present fiscal year
at $3.50 per annum, Excluding auxiliary and
subordinate carriers), until changed by spe-
cial orders. The back pay of letter carriers
in these cities is left for adjustment hereaf-
ter The new law provides that carriers in
first class cities shall be divided into two
grades, with salaries of $1,000 and $500 re-
spectively.
The department will accordingly within
few days, issue instructions to all postmasters
in first class cities, requiring them to desig-
nate which carriers are to be assigned to the
first grade, and which to the second; desig-
nations to be made in each case according to
merit.

The Seymour Mystery.
The police have theory that j. l.. Sey-
mour was accidentally killed by pistoi shot
from the window of the seminary fired by a
student Paul Steukner but Bishop Seymour
and others doubt its correctness, as the toy
pistol used could not carry the pistol the dis
lance, and it is believed the young man did
not use bullets. Frisbil, who is in Boston,
has been telegraphed to return.
A stormy Scene.
A stormy scene occurred in the board of
aldermen. during which Alderman Soule
openly and repeatedly charged Alderman
port Vanderblt's rapid transit schemes. He
denied the charge. A committee to investi-
gate was appointed.
Financial.
The Times says the firmness of the French
exchange is due TO the prospect of demand
for gold for the United States, in conse-
quence of the deficient harvest. Accounts
from the French wheat districts are unfavor-
able, but it seems premature to speculate up
on the probable effects of the drain of gold
there.

Thing, Hog, and Butter.

Thing, Hog, and Butter.
There have been many times within the
last twenty years when the hearts of our peo-
pie have been filled to overlooking with graf
itude to God. Such was the case when the
proclamation of emancipation struck the
chains from off the limbs and minds of four
million Of human souls. Again when the
lightning flashed along the wire the joyous
news the surrender of Lee, that there was an
end Of the shedding of blood, that we were
once more a nation, grander and nobler than
ever, because no slave crouched at the feet
of master in all our broad domain. But it
seems there were exceptions to this general
overflow of gratitude, from the hearts of our
people. One Thing is reported us having
said at Fayette that the ecstatic moment, the
one that ravished his fine senses, was when
he sold hog and box of butter for SlO3 !.
National unity is nothing. Liberty is us moth
ing. 1t is hog and butter with Thing.
The country has been saved, its credit
maintained, its honor virdicated, business
revived, all our great industries moving
grandly on, wages good, all the necessaries
Of life cheap, SO that laborer to-day can
buy more than twice rs much butter and pork
for his days labor than at the time referred
to by Thing; but still he is not happy. Like
Patrick Henry's man, Took, who at the close
of the revolution, when all was joy and hlar-
ity among the people, went prowling through
the camp bowling, beef! beef! beef! This
= Thing, rivaling Pillsbury in his abuse of re-
publicans, whose aid he has heretofore craved,
goes providing about the county screechng

. five cents pound :"
