1t appears hat the effect Of the Octo-

den's cause. The Commercial, repub-
lioan, says the result is one upon
which the people at large without re.
speet to party are TO be- congratulated.
II will be interpreted in Europe as a
declaration of a purpose on the part
Of the people Of the United States to
stand by a financial policy that has
raised public credit to the highest point
attained by any civilized nation. The
Gazette, republican, says We send

Some Of the bedrooms of the period
are really marvels of exquisite taste
too sweet and dainty by far to deserve
the rude occupancy Of husbands,
However, the best of these apartments
belong to maidens, who show them
with coyness and pride to their male
friends. The dazed fellows stand pal

the vision of innocent somnolency and
swearing on the spot to marry the
tenant ofthat beautiful bed or die.
The natural result of all this will be
an unusual number of weddings this

appreciation of such men as Lee, j Jack

ceived either silently or with strong

Of the mighty struggle are healing up
rapidly and thoroughly, and that the
old sectional hatred and scorn lie six
feet under the ground in the national

"No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the inland rivers run red;
We have buried our anger forever,
In the sacred graves Of the dead.

Waiting the judgment-day,
Love and tears for the bluel
Tears and love for the gray"

The combined attraction Of Henry
Ward Beecher and Robert I~ngersOll
was enough to fill the Academy Of
Music in Brooklyn last night, Some
politicians became 50 excited over the
double headed show that after the
tickets had been all distributed they
went to the republican headquarters
and offered five dollars ~apiecefor them.
Many ladies were in attendance.
When Robert Ingersoll walked down
the stage be was followed by the Rev.
Justin D. Fulton, and in time TO start
a second round Of applause came
Henry Ward Beecher.
Albert Daggett was called upon to
preside, but he gave way to Henry
Ward Beecher, who said. THE man
who is to speak to you tonight is not
to speak in a c~Onventicle or church,
but he is one who has done valuable
things for the right without variable
ness or shadow Of turning. In the
name Of common humanity and true
faith and true liberty | give him the
right hand of fellowship
Mr.. Beecher turned to Mr.. Inger-
soil, took his hand, and both bowed,
while the audience %applauded the
tableau. Then Mr.. Beecher said that
Mr.. Ingersoll was the most brilliant
speaker of the English tongue in any
land on the globe. As underneath the
brilliancy Of the fame were solid coal;
Of fire, so underneath the lambent fire
OF his wit were imperishable living
Goals of soundest truth.
Mr.. Robert Ingersoll felt awkward,
apparently, at such a gushing stream
o fpraise from the Plymouth pastor,
and as he arose he seemed to mediate
revenge. He worked his lips. wiped
the beads Of perspiratiOn off his brow
and. seeming to wink at the reporter
said: 1.-The world waited thousands O.
years for Henry Ward Beecher, ant
the world will wait a long time for an
other. Then Mr.. Ingesoll DASHED
off into a speech.
Later on Mr.. Ingersoll, turning Il
Mr.. Beecher, said: Il want TO thanh
you that your intellectual horizon il
LARGE enough, your sky broad enough
ana studded with stars enough to en-
able you to grasp the hand OF a man
in the cause Of humanity, however
much he disagrees with you.p Upor
this there was another tableau ant
great cheering. At the close Of til,
love feast Mr.. Beecher obtained
vote of thaks for ~Ingerzoll, and Inger
soil got three cheers for Bsecher.

sehNalka,s Polar ExpIoll.

Lieutenant Schwata, the Arctic ad-

many brave men have failed, in deter
mining with precision and minuteness
the fate Of Sir John franklin and his
command, was given a very brilliant
reception in New York by the Ameri-
can Geographical society. lie crowned
the occasion by a we'll -oonsidered ad-
dress, presenting the history aud re-
suits Of his explorations in a continu-
GUS narrative. Schwatka's expedition,
the latest and in many respects the
most adventurous of the many which
have started on Franklin's traces,
left Camp DAILY for the untried
wilderness of ice and snow
on April LIST, 1879. It comprised
eighteen persons, four of whom were
white men, and forty-four dogs, with
three sleds, a months provision for
the party and two weeks feed for the
dogs. 1t moved bya compass as much
in an airline as the surface of the
country would admit, its immediate
objective being King William Land.
Step by step the expedition traced up
the fate Of Franklin's men and their
equipment, found where the ships had
sunk and where the men persisted,
looked for their graves and found
and buried their CHASTITY remains.
The party gathered many relics Of
the ill.fated explorer and his COM
rades, and secured proof that the
written records Of Franklin's dreary
cruise and OrOzier's p~rotracted strug-
gle with death BY starvation have
been destroyed. 1t was a we'll plan
ned, well-executed search, furnishing
the fitting sequel to the work done by
DR.. Rae and Capt. Hall. Other Arc
tic expeditions will doubtless be plan
ned aud will sail until the secret of
the North Pole iseffectiyely unveiled,
