During the coming Presidential year The Tribune

the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the war closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But it two years ago. and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
diskes, and set the example. 1t called for end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won and the omens for National victory were never

HOW NeRDENsKJOLD PASSED THROUGH BEHRING



The schooner Pauline Collins arrived Monday
at San Francisco from the Arctic ocean. Capt.
Tucker Sands says Of the swedish explorer,
NordenSkjold making the northeast passage In
the Vega, that on the 18th of July last the Pau
lire Collins was lying at anchor off East Cape,
when the lookout deserted a steamer. 1t was
nine o'clock in the morning, and all hands
came up to get good look at her. 1t was the
first day after NordenSkj0ld left his winter
quarters and the Vega was in gala trim. 1t
cannot be better described than In the language
of the hardy seaman himself: HE came steam
ing along like lord. The Vega was atlylng all
her colors, covering the ship from the trucks to
the decks, and firing guns every five minutes.
1t was very lively for that latitude" AS she
passed the Bollins dipped her flag and the Vega
promptly returned the salutation. By the aid
OF a glass the officers and crew, it was dis
tinctly seen, were evidently intensely pleased
at seeing another vessel. There We're some
miles Of Ice intervening.
GOOD WEATHER FOR THE JEANETTE.
The Collins had been as far north as IS deg.
80 min. north latitude, and confirms previous
nette having fine weather, favoring winds and
abundance Of time to reach Wrangel Land be-
fore going into winter quarters
STARVATION AND DEBAUCHERY.
Capt. Sands reports frightful story from st.
Lawrence Island, in the Behring sea. Almost
the entire population of the southeastern end
OF the Island has persisted OF starvation. A
party landed from the Collins and were horri-
had carried the dead away from the huts uuttl
at length, overcome themselves, they in turn
died In the huts, and so remained: Every where
the scene was frightful. One little girl the cap
tain speaks of seeing stiff in death, with her
head resting on her hand, while the body
leaned over the remains OF whale. Mr.. Sands
Attributes the starvation to rum Nearly every
