The Grant Boom.

Washington Dispatch to New York Herald.
1t is reported here. on what is believed
to be trustworthy authority, that the per-
sonal friends of the ex-president in Phila-
delphia who are nearest to him state to
persons interested that before the meeting
of the Pennsylvania convention, ten days
hence, an authoritative declaration will be
made in behalf of the ex-president conclu-
sively taking him from the field as con-
tcstant for the presidential nomination. 1t
is given out by persons in the cx-presi-
dents confidence that he proposes to ell
gage in an important business, which he
prefers to any attempt to re-enter political
life.
Such an authoritative announcement,
if it shonld be made, would be great
reliefto the Republican political manager
in Pennsylvania, who have begun OF late
to fear that the third term policy would
cause serious disturbance in the conven-
tion and among the Republicans of the
state. The convention was called at an
usually early date, with the confident ex-
pectation that it would instruct the
Chicago delegation to demand the re-
nomination of the ex-president on the
third term policy. When the call was issued
there was a general impression that this
would be done without trouble, but in the

Yesterday afternoon, two young NEIL

from Pittsburgh, the other name un-

have been about Marietta for several days

mounting derrick on a CIR, used for
unloading coal and ore from boats on the

Emwcht and the Little Rock boy, crush

TIE editor of the IOJucc0 .Jonr1,Gl is
very wroth because the price of tobacco
stays up. He seems to have been in
Lancaster few days ago to find out for
himself the reason of it and to have gone
away no wiser nor more amiable than
when he came. The only idea he seems
to have in his rawlings is that the INTEL
LIGENCER is the cause of the high price
at which the present crop is selling. We
are thankful for the complimentary
opinion, but we fear it is not deserved.
Tobacco is high because the buyers are
willing to pay high prices for it, the
farmers are willing to take them, and the
INTELLIGENCER is willing to report
the sales when made. That is the only
influence we exercise over the market.
There may be speculation in the pur-
chase of the present crop at ruling figures,
but unless the 1880 crop is failure it is
as likely to he a losing as gaining one.

The Probable Winter in the Arctic.

Although no intelligence has been re-
Gently brought to us from the Arctic
ocean north of Behring strait directly in
dicating the character of the winter which
the American Arctic expedition is there
experiencing, there are not wholly want
ing the means of forming some idea
of the present season in that region.
The officers of the Swedish North
east passage expedition reported last
winter spent by them very near the
supposed present winter quarters of the
Jeanette, as abnormally cold - but
they could then see almost constantly n
blue water sky from true northwest to
east''-that is, in the direction of Wrang-
ell Land-and they further report, the
coolest winds came the Siberian plain " to
the southwark of the Vegas position and
not from the direction of Wrangell Land.
These facts agree in showing the imprOba-
bility of an extraordinarily severe winter
occurring there.
But the evidence now presented OF the
recent barometric and other atmospheric
conditions prevailing on the Pacific coast
of the United States points to similar
conclusion The latest Monthly Weather
Review of the signal service contains
some significant data which throw light on
the current nicteorology of the North Pa
cilic and the closely related southern basin
of the Arctic Sea. These data show that dur
ing December the barometer pressure rang
ed generally lower in the Rocky Noun
tain region, while on the extreme north
western part of our Pacific coast it was
about or slightly below the normal In
Washington territory they show a preva-
| lence of southerly winds, with an unusually
heavy rainfall in California. The winds in
Washington territory are those which an
nually prevail and in which, as Professor
| WoeikOf says, we must see continuation
of the great equatorial current of the Pa
cific, which sweeps to the North beyond
Sitka.
These carefully prepared observations
are tingerbOards pointing toward the me-
teorological conditions prevalent in the far
north. Had the excessively high baro-
metric pressures which causes the intensest
cold in the Arctic regions prevailed north
of Behring Strait it seems physically Ger.
tain that the undulationS from them would
have been felt and recorded on our Pacific
coast as exceptionally ''high pressures, in
stead of which the official observations show
that the pressurcs were about normal. 1t
is highly probable that. as Nordenskjold' S
observations indicate, the coolest winters
may be launched on our Pacific coast from
1.-The great Siberian plain" without affect
ing the temperature of Wrangell Land,
near which the Jeannetta is wintering
But, looking at all the indications i'm,
mediatly at hand bearing OH the point, We
are led to conclude that the outstanding
American Arctic expedition has so far ex-
perienced in all probability a milder win
ter than that endured by the late Sweedi b
! eXpeditiOn.
