by the government and the captain has
begun the erection of an arctic house on

be used in carrying out that plan Atte
its completion it will be taken to piece
and shipped with the first lnstalment of

A permanent depot Of supplies will be
established there and thence expeditions
toward the pole will be sent out by boat

ready to sail about the middle of Nav,
and after landing the men and supplies
will return and make another trip next

Fifty Years Hence.

The amazing changes :shich have oc-
cured on Manhattan Island within the
last half century. and which the late lee
ture of Mr.. William E. Dodge has
brought before the public, suggests an
inquiry as co whether the reXt half cen
fury has IN store changes equally great.
1t is to be noted that Mr.. Dodge him

an age which seldom takes too rosy u

that the growth of this metropolis and
of the nation will be as great during
fifty years to come as it has been during
the time whose changes he has wit

PRODUCTION to general use OF coal, steam,
gas, and thousand mechanical con-
trivances may have 10 parallel, and the
story he tells of having crossed an old
stone bridge at Canal street, that he
might take path through the meadows
to carry packages to Greenwich village,
point near what is now Eighth avenue
and Fourth street, may be more strange
than any that will be told at the end of
the next fifty years, but that the sub
stantial growth of New York will be as
rapid during the next half century as it
has been in the last, Mr.. Dodge be-
lieves, and probably with wholly salts

such prospective development suggests

will be unquestionable, unless changes
are effected in the old world, which

their incompetent and defenceless condition is
discreditable to the country. Judging from the
history of all other nations and tue experience
of our own, the United States will, notwlth-
standing our traditional policy, find itself
sooner or later at war with a mari
time power. When that war comes
1t will come suddenly. There will be no time
after its d, claration to construct defenses,

incidents in the Courtship of Hayes and
Garfield.
from the Cleveland Herald.

The unusual scenes which occurred at
the Union depot on Friday afternoon, in
the greeting of President Hayes aud
President Garfield, has called up many
pleasant and interesting "reminiscences
is the following told and vouched for by
q gentleman whose personal acqualnt-
ance and intimacy with both Hayes and
Garfield is sufficient proof Of the truth OF
the story. Ia the little village OF Bed
ford, only twelve miles distant from
Cleveland, there lived, some thirty years
ago, two charming and attractive girls.
To one of these President Hayes had
become an ardent sutton, but the parents
OF the young lady had vigorously OPP
posed their courtship on the ground that
young Hayes was poor, and gave evil
dence of hardly sufficient ability to war
rant r1sking their daughters future.
The match was broken off and the lady
is to-day married and well known to
Cleveland people.
The other young lady had received
some attention from young Garfield, and
was well disposed to reciprocate them.
Her parents, however, objected to their
intimacy, giving as their reason of their
opposition the poverty of Garfield and
the anything but bright prospects of his
future.
The most remarkable coincidence OF
the courtship was that both young ladies'
lived In village of not over five hundred
inhabitants, and both refused two future
presidents of the United States because
OF their poverty.

poor, demented creatures were rushed out in

indefinite and conflicting. though tie latest ad-
vices place the loss of life at from ten to twelve
