THE GREELEY EXPEDITION.

In reference to the Greeley relief expe-
dition the secretary says that the exact
condition and situation of Lieutenant
Greeley and party is entirely matter of
conjecture; they have had with them at
Lady Franklin buy supply of God,
clothing aud other necessaries, sufficient
there would be no reasonable apprehen-
sion for their safety if it were known
that they had remained and were now at
Lady Franklin bay. 1t is possible. how
ever, that, failing to connect with the re-
lief expedition of 1882, Lieutenant Gree
ley, in pursuance with prealr anged
plan. left the bay to come southwark to
the entrance of Smith Sound and that,
relying upon finding an abundance of
supplies there, he took with him only
sufficient provision and clothing for the
journey. Even in this Case his condition
would be by no means desperate, for at
this point and further north there are sup
plies and if they are not sufficient To sus
tain his party until IA relief vessel can
reach him in 1888; it is thought that it
would not be impossible for him to re-
turn tor the supplies left at Lady Frank
lin bav, although snch journey would
be disheartening ami very difficult.

A FORLORN OUTLOOK FOR DEMOCRACY.
This is the entertainment to which South
ern sectionalism invites the Democracy 1t
would give Virginia back to Malone. 1t
would make North Carolina, Alabama, Lou
isiana, Tennessee and West Virginia doubt
full and it would leave the Democrats with
out the hope of single electoral vote in the
Northern States. Such Is the outlook to-
day, and only the resolute reversal of the
sectional policy declared by the House can
give the Democrats the remotest chance to
contest the election of President next year.
The mere self-destruction of the Democratic
party would be matter of little conse-
quence. The country has gotten along pretty
well without it for quarter of a century
and it can get along without it for another
quarter of a century. If its own follies con-
tinue to make its defeat necessity, perhaps
il would be as we'll for it to kill itself out
right by losing all the North and half the
South next year, for something better would
likely take its place; and if so it now prom

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.



rev A. e. P. Small, D. B., entered upon
MS work as pastor of the First Baptist church
yesterday; and preached in the afternoon to a
Iull congregation. His text was taken from
tx 4: l2--''Now therefore go-and I will be
with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou
Shalt say" God shows his power in accom-
piishing many Of his great designs by feeble
human instruments. We might suppose that
God would employ great instruments to work
out his purposes, but he selects humble men.
Again, mans highest honor is found in humble
service for, and implicit obedience to God.
How glorious was the humble, yet faithful
service of our Saviour, and wherever human
character has attained its highest development
it has been when any one has been most thor
oughly consecrated to doing Gods work.
Again, it is often one of the severest trials
OF Gods messenger-the thought what he
must say, and to whom he must say it. But If
God employs any human mouth to convey his
message, it is an indication that the message is
most important, and that faithful obedience is
called for. Again, it is most important for us
to remember tnat when God sends message
by his servant obedience is the duty of the
seravnt but results are to be left to God. We
are not required, and are not able 10 see the
and, but God sees it. Moses was to carry the
message to Pharaoh, but God was to deliver
the people of Israel from bondage. But in
these later times the world is to be delivered
from the bondage of sin, and God sends mes
sage by his servants, and they are to be faith
fnl in giving it,and God will make it effective.
The preacher then referred to his own en-
trance upon the work of ministering to the
church whose pastor he had become, and with
earnest, hopeful and fitting words urged upon
all that faithfulness which was sure to be
crowned with Gods blessing.
The services were exceedingly pleasant, and
1t was an occasion of joy to the church and
congregation to welcome to the pulpit pastor
whose work among them opens so auspiciously.
The formal recognition lof Rev. DIR. Small as
pastor will occur next Wednesday evening on
Rev. DIR. Gordon of Boston.

Maine Steamship Company.

The adjourned annual meeting of the Maine
Steamship Company was held Saturday fore
noon at their Office ON Franklin wharf, with
good number of stockholders present. The
matters of securing an additional steamer, also
to dispose OF the property at private sale were
fully discussed. The latter proposition APP
peared to be the most favored one, and upon
being put to vote it was decided to sell their
whole property and privileges, but the date
and manner of sale was not settled upon. 1t
was then voted to again adjourn the meeting
for four weeks without electing officers.
There were several rumors regarding the
company current on the street Saturday-one
that j. B. Coyle, Esq. was to purchase the
property and run the line himself; another,
that the Portland Steam Packet Company, of
which Mr.. Coyle is president were to buy the
property and Mr.. Coyle be manager of the two
lines. Neither of these rumors could be traced
to a reliable source. 1t is known, however,
that the property will be bought by parties who
will maintain the line and probably put ON an
additional steamer to accommodate the increas-
ing business.

Gen. w. g. hilton.

Gen. Tilton, whose resignation of the super
intendency of the Soldiers Home at Togus
has been rumored, is one of the sons of the
late Stephen Tilton, one of Boston's most
prosperous and horored merchants, whose
place Of business was on Central wharf. Gen.
Tilton, who was engaged in business with his
father at the outbreak of the war, was origi-
nally appointed to the adjutancy of the Twen-
ty-seeond Regiment, Senator Wison's,5 but
left for the seat of war as its major. BY sue
cessive steps he gained the colonelcy, was
made brigadier general, and assigned to the
command of the First Division of the Fifth
Corps, of the Army of the Potomac. He took
part in almost every action in which that gal
liant army participated, and was equally noted
for his galantry and soldierIy qualities. His
administration at Togus has been highly sue.
cessful and as efficient a superintendent as he
will be difficult to find.
