Detail From the Second Cavalry to Dis
cover the Article.
Orders were received yesterday at depart
ment headquarters from Washington detail
ing First Lieut.. G. G. Doane, of the Second
cavalry, and fifteen men to accompany the
Howgate polar expedition. Lieut.. Duane is
situated at Fort Assinniboine, NJ. T., and
signifed his willingness to accept such de-
tail, and the men hereafter to be named for
the serviceS volunteer for the duty.
As frequently stated, First Lieutenant How
gate, Twentieth infantry, on duty in the sig
nal corps, has projected the Arctic expe-
dition to penetrate the mystery of the frozen
zone. As he proposes, the expedition will
be absent over three years, penetrating by
degrees the frozen realm. For this purpose
posts will be established along the Green
land or other favorable coasts as supply
camps, and from these stations the advance
will be made during the favorable seasons.
Lieut.. Doane will have charge of one of
these stations, and being of wonderfully
adventurous spirit, he will doubt
less seek command of the northern
most station to be established.
Lieut.. Gustavus G. Sloan, the gallant officer
who has volunteered for the perilous duty,
served during the late war with distinction,
having been breveted for gallant service. He
was appointed second lieutenant of the Sec
ond cavalry July 5th, 1868, and was pro-
NOTED to his present rank in December of
1871. The enlisted men who are to en-
counter the dangers and rigor of the Arctic
winters with him are men whom he knows,
with whom he has conversed about the ex-
pedition and they signify their willingness
to meet the service.

How tho Boys Got a Vacation.

A few days before the schools were
closed by order of the School Board, at
Lansing, Mich, one of the teachers at
noontime espied small boy with red
flannel scarf around his neck. Visions
of diphtheria Immediately foated
through her brain, and she ordered
the young John Henry to pack up his
books and return no more ''until your
throat is perfectly WELL" He obeyed
the summons, and on his way home
met three of his companions, who
noticed his books and saluted him
with "What's up" John proceeded
to explain that the piece of red flannel
had gained him a furlough. r. The
three youths held a short council of
war, chipped in what little spare
change they could muster, went into a
dry goods store, bought half yard of
red flannel tore it in strips and placed
it around their necks. In just twenty
minutes from that time three more
boys were ordered out of the school
room, on the ground that they were
threatened with diphtheria.

THERE is something inexpressibly
sad in the veil Of deepened melancholy
which enshrouds the closing years Of
the life of the ex-Empress Of France.
For nearly nine years this once lofty
stationed woman, the pride of ma
tion and the envy of sovereigns, has
been in the valley of humiliation and
suffering with constantly darkenin
shadows. And now she has underta-
ken pilgrimage of sorrow into the
very depths of desolation. The world
cannot understand why such strange
journey should have been determined
upon ; neither, with all its years and
wisdom, can it fathom the recesses of
the human heart. Eugenie's great
grief is her own, and if it will comfort
her to kneel upon the cruel spot where
her real life went out, where the sun
Of her last lingering hopes suddenly
set forever behind cloud of impene-
trable darkness, why should she be
denied the privilegef And with her
will go the silent and unseen heart
throbs of many unknown English
mothers who mourn for loved ones
gone never to return noble sons who
have fought England's battles on
many bloody fields in foreign lands
and who freely gave their lives q sac
rifice to duty. Her Majesty's long
and sad journey may justly be regard
ed as truly representative in its me-
mortal charaoter.-T6Icoraph.

To Keen Wells Pure.

A correspondent of the Inter Ocsan,
writing from Battle Greek, Michigan
says that he purified his well of water
which was subject to so many worms,
bugs and other insects as to render It
almost unfit for drinking, by placing
in the well a couple of good-sized
trout. They have kept perfectly
healthy and have eaten up every live
thing in the water. In the winter
season crumbs of bread and crackers
are thrown in. The water is perfectly
pure and sweet.

An original authentic anecdote of
General Washington is rare thing,
but here is one on the authority Of
Major John Saunders, who command
ed the Salem Cadets in 1870 when
Washington visited Salem. In his
compliment to the cadets "You have
the honor to command the best dis
ciplined corps have ever seen," he
pronounced the word corps" accord
ing to the English spelling, articu-
lating the p and and accenting the
short not core or kore, but Corps.
This can be no imputation on the
scholarship of Washington, for his
intercourse with Lafayette, Count d.
Estaing and other French officers
must have familiarized him with the
French pronunciation. 1t rather in
dicates his intense Americanism.

DIVERSITY OF DROPS.

The following. from = correspondent, may
be found interesting 10 our planting friends
The slow but sure success OF the Northern
farmer has been marked. and considering the
great number Of parties engaged IN this CALL
ing. the proportion Of failures is ininitesimal.
and shows decided contrast with the same
class OF holders In our Southern States. One
rarely hears OF a Northern farmer being sold
out to pay his debts on account Of failure Of
his crops.
In casting about for reason for this
difference this fact rises: the Northern
farmer plants diversity OF crops
some wheat, some corn, potatoes. tobac-
co-and thus, II the season or prices
should prove unfavorable for any one OF these
articles he does not lose his whole years
work, for he has reasonable ana almost sure
prospect OF success with the other crops. On
the other hand our planters are given to the
cultivation Of one siaple-sugar alone, rice
alone, cotton alone and IL disasterous sea-
son for any one OF them comes, and failure re-
suits. he has nothing to fall back upon except
the reflection that he could not influence the
rain or storms or river or army worm, and In
4 resigned manner calls 1t one OF the inscru-
table ways of Providence. when In fact 1t Is
one Or the ways Of his own improvidence In
ssputtin1 all his eggs into one basket"
We are glad to note that our Southern plant
