GOODBYE. PROUD WORLD.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

Goodbye, proud world I'm going home:
Thou are not my friend; am not thine;
Too long through weary crowds / roami
A river ark on the ocean brine:
Too long am tossed ike the driven foam,
But, now, proud world, / m going homel
Goodbye to Flattery's fswning face,
To Grandeur with his wise grimace;
To upstart Wealth's Ryerted eye,
To supple Office low and high:
To crowded halls, to court and street,
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who go. aud those who come,
Goodbye, proud world, I'm going home.
/ go to seek my own hearth-stone,
BosOmed in yon green hills alone;
A secret lodge in a pleasant land.
Whose groves the fTolic fairies planned,
Where arches green the livelong day
Echo the blackbir 5 roundelay,
And evil men have never trod-
A spot that Is sacred to thought and God.
Oh, when I am safe in my sylvan home,
l mock ut the pride of Greece and Rome;
And when am stretched beneath the pines,
Where the evening star so holy shines,
| laugh at the lore and pride of man.
At the sOphist school and the learned clan;
For, what are they all in their high conceit,
When man in the bush with God may meet?

FLUNkYISM.
The Lives of 800 Passengers ImperiiIed
for the Comfort of PrinceIiDgs.
New York World.


The Duke OF Edinburgh is far from being
the most popular of the English princes,
and his popularity has not been materially
increased by the recent "Albert Edward cpl
sode" Among the 500 passengers by the
train from Paris to Boulogne, attracted by
advertisements of "new and magnificent
steamers-the finest in the channel service"
were the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh
and their suits-ten persons in all. To this
party the new steamer Albert Victor was as
signed, while all the other passengers were
crowded upon "a crazy Tub, the Albert Ed
ward, very small, long since discarded and
utterly unseaworthy." One of the cylinders
burst just after starting, but the Albert
Victor steamed away, leaving her consort
helpless; the people Of Boulogne paid no
attention to the signals OF distress, and the
company's agents at Folkestone did not take
the trouble to send out and find why vessel
with 800 passengers on board, which should
have crossed in two or three hours, had not
been heard OF after fifteen hours had
ELAPSED. The Albert Eiward's anchors
finally held Just as it seemed likely she would
drift ashore ON a dangerous coast, and after
sixteen hours OF peril the tired and famished
passengers were landed at Folkestone. Mr..
St. George Mivart, the scientist, who hap
pened to be on board, and several other suf-
ferer3, have aroused the press and the subject
has been taken up IN Parliament. The case
is go bad indeed that even the Tory s.. james
Gdzete has been compelled to take up lis
parable to the following effect: Few
things more scandalous have occurred for
long time than the affair OF the Albert
Edward. Thatfor the sake of paying s. need
less compliment to the Duke and Duchess of
Edinburgh 300 persons should have been sent
afoat in WORKOUT and dangerous old tub is
altogether too baj. If the Duke and Duchess
of E iinburgh can travel with other people
in train there is no reson why they should
not travel with other people in a steamboat;
and the Albert Victor was quite large
enough to have accommodated the public As
well as the little party of royal personsges
and their attendants by whom it was ollowed
TO be monopolizsd. All the journeys OF the
members Of the Qdeen's family across the
channel are paid for by the country; and
there is no good ground, even on the score Of
expense, why they should not be made IN
one of her msjesty's yachts. Bat that the
ordinary trsffic should be impeded and
hundreds of lives placed in jeopardy in this
manner is certainly more than the public
will stand, whatever may be the alternative
oour,a tn ~. adonted

ARCTIC EXPLORATION.
Secretary Chandler Opposed TO the Pro-
posed New Expedition.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Secretary Chand-
Ter SAYS he does not favor the proposed new
Arctic expedition, as he thinks it would be
better to await the result OF the English
leigh Hunt's) expedition, which is now
missing in the northern seas, the expedition
being fitted out to 60 in search of that expe-
dition and the proposed German expedition.
The signal service is about 10 send out two
expeditions to the Arctic regions for the re-
lief and supply of the parties already there.
A year ago Lieutenant Greeley, of the Fifth
cavalry, headed an expedition to Lady
Franklin bay, and Lieutenant Ray, of the
Eighth infantry, headed another expedition
to Point Barrow. They reached their desti-
nations safely, having with them provisions
and other stores for a year and building
m materials for houses. The two stations thus
established are part of a chain OF interna-
tional stations, among which are stations at
the mouth of the Lena, and at Barnaul, in
Siberia, and at North Cape, in Sweden.
These stations with others, have been estab-
lished for the purpose of taking meteorolog-
ical, astronomical, magnetic and time obser-
vations rs near as possible to the North
Pole. The observations are to be taken
daily at the same actu al time. The stimuli
taneous observations will begin on the LIST OF
the coming August. The two expeditions
that are TO start as soon as posslDe viii carry
-to-tf1e parties at Point BARROW aud Lazy
Franklin Bay another years supply OF pro-
visions, clothing, fuel, medical stores and all
other needed articles. Three or four observ-
ers will accompany each party for the pur-
pose OF replacing any of the men who may
have died during the year, or relieving those
who may have become incapacitated for re-
mainirg in the climate of the far North.
No communication has been had with either
Lieutenant Greeley or Lieutenant Ray since
the return of the vessel that carried them to
their stations a year ago. Major w. M.
Beebe, ir., will proceed at once to st. John,
N B for the purpose of chartering vessel
and arranging for supplies for Lieutenant
Greeley's party; He will then probably be be
making his way through the ice and landing
the supplies. Lieutenant J. S. Powell will
have charge of the party going to Point
Birrow. He expects to sail from San Fran
cisco about July LIST. All supplies and let
tiers must be sent to him at that city in time
to reach him before June 10th. All cup
plies and letters destined for Lady Franklin
Bay should be sent TO the signal office in
Washington before that date.

ton. During the last five years the net In-
crease Of population has been only 10000.
or 282, 900 less than in the years 1S1l-lS76.
At this rate another ten years would witness
an actual decrease, and the Importance OF
the fact may be seen by remembering that
Germany, in spite Of emigration, has in
creased her population by 100000 since
1876. The French returns are not less inter-
esting, when the aggregate figures are ana
Iyzed. OF the total increase as much as
sixty-6ve per cent. was in Paris alone, and
the other large towns account for tine remain
der. 1t is clear, therefore, that system OF
peasant proprietors is not Of itself adequate
to stem the tide of migration into the cities.
Another fact which may be recommended to
the study of the political economist is that
the greatest decrease OF population has oc-
Cured in the most prosperous districts, such
as Normandy and the valleys of the Garonne;
while on the poor soil of Bretagne and Hsute
Vienne there has been a slight increase.
Agricultural districts have not generally
been taken az instances of places "where
wealth accumulates and men decay"

SIR ROGER TICHBORNE.
The California Claimant Collecting
Evidence at San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, May 13.-Ferris, alias Sir
Roger Tichborne, the California claimant
mentioned some months ago in these dis
patches, is again in the city. His attorney
says that recently he has been put in connec
ton with three persons, residents of this
State, who were formerly in the employ of
the Tichborne family. One, Charles Binden,
was a page to Sir Edward Doughty, Itch
borne's uncle, and was recently public adj
ministrator of Tuolumne county; another is
a woman living in Alameda county, who was
in the employ of the family for twelve years,
and was married, in 1859, in the Tichborne
private chapel; the third is a man formerly
employed as gardener for Henry Tichborne.
These three met Ferris at his attorney 3 office
last Saturday. and, after a conversation,
recognized and acknowledged him as Roger
Tichborne. Arrangements are now being
made for Tichborne TO visit his father.
Lefeburn, his former spiritual adviser, now
resides in Paris.
