The Expedition for the Relief OF
Lieutenant Greeley's Party.

A telegraphic dispatch has been for.
warded by General Terry to the Secre-
tary OF War giving the names OF the
PERSONS sc ected from the Department
OF | akota to take part in the expedi-
ten which is TO be sent out for the re-
lief of Lieutenant Greeley and his
party at LAZY Franklin Bay in the
Arctic regions The detail consists OF
q commiss oned officer and our enlisted
men, who have been chosen a, esre-
cialiy we'll qualified for the duties which
will be required of them. The selec-
ton was narrowed down to the regi-
ments which had served longest in the
department. as it was thought that men
who had seen service in the Northwest
would be better able TO withstand the
hardships o an Arctic winter; hut
even with this restrict on there has been
no lack of applications, and ever since
the call for volunteers was issued a
month ago. the list has been length
ened until it included the names of
more than one hundred per.ons FIRST

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion Of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary sOlidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME soLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-halt Vt the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is Of
the most simple nature, as follows: plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs, centres, beZels, &c., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to ad-
NIT of all kinds OF chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.
For sale by all Jewellers. Ask for Illus

DON'T SPECULATE.

In spite Of repeated warnings il
spite of wrecked lifes and ruined
regulations; in spite of honor anc
love and fair name generally il
spite of all those eloquent, though
voiceless emotions, hopes, aspirations
aud endesrments that go to make
life really worth the living, thou
sands are to day riding the car of
speculation to the devil They
never stop to think until disgrace
and prison, exile or poverty stare
them in the face, and they pass be-
yond the pale of the public mercy
outeast alike from God and honora
BILE mankind.
On this subject the Philadelphia
Times throws out a few homely
words which contaius a world of
truth and suggests the road to safety
to all who ride the mad-car of specs
ulation. Says the Times
We have lately had food of en-
bezzlements and other forms of
theft, and it has been the same story
10 every case, Trusted cashiers and
others charged with the money of
their neighbors, specuIated and lost
it.
In nineteen cases out of twenty
60 crime was intended. Had the
thought of theft occurred to the par
ties who proved to be criminals,
they would have shuddered and re
coiled from themselves but they
lost their own money; they borrow
ed without leave to make new VEN
lures, and ended as embezzlers and
thieves.
Most of the scores of men who
have lately startled the country by
their embezzling, were citizens of
unblemished regulations, command
ing the unbounded confidence of
their respective communities but
the inordinate ambition to get rich ;
to live in style to give their chill
dren the hollow responsibility Of for+
tune, and to gain the hooking hon.
age of fools and hypocrites, made
them venture step by step until de-
tected crime and ineffaceable shame
logically followed.
Don't speculate. Not one 10
thousand of those who attempted to
win fortune by speculative gambling
has pro6tted by it and many who
have not been broken 10 fortune
have wasted what is of greater value
than gold honest industry. The
only wealth that lasts and that is
full Of comfort, is that gained by in
dustry, and every departure from le-
gitimste pursuits to gain riches is
crowded with peril at every step.
Don't speculate.
