FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1888.

JHE second of the Greeley relief eXpe-
ditions has failed. The steamer Protcus,
which sailed from st. Johns, N. F., in
June, for the Arctic regions, was crushed
in the ice July %, at the entrance of
Smiths sound. The crew were picked
up by the Iantic, a war vessel sent with
the Proteus to give help, if needed. The
Greeley party were taken to Lady Frank
lin bay in the summer of 1881 by the
wrecked Proteus. 1t included % per-
sons; and the object was, primarily, to
take observations of the aurora borealis'
in accordance with IA plan adopted by the
international geographical congress held
at Hamburg in 1879. Europeans ma
tions established similar understanding
twelve altogether-at various points In the
extreme north. The station of the
Greeley party is in a desolate region,
$50 miles from any settlement. The
Neptune, sent last summer to carry pro-
visions to Greeley, did not reach him,
but left the supplies at Littleton island
a distance of 300 miles from Lady Frank
lin bay. The position of Lieutenant
Greeley and his companions is believed
to be critical. Grave doubts are felt as
to whether he has provisions enough at
Lady Franklin bay to last through the
winter; and it is feared he could not
reach Littleton island, even if he had
started September l, the date given in

The State Fair.

Editor Register and Journal:
The mistake of the Vermont Agricul-
ture society connecting itself with a To-
cal affair of very different spirit and in
terests was very apparent at the last fair
at Burlington.
The management to a great extent
was in outside hands. Many gentlemen
from New York city came to the front,
while Vermont farmers and Vermonters
generally went to the rear. OF course
this cannot exist long in a Vermont State
fair. If our farmers am conduct
their fair, there certainly ought not to be,
as there certainly Dol will not be, any
fair to conduct.
Then, again, it is a mistake to under
take to have a State fair always at one
place. If a State fair, it should be hello
at different places, thus diversifying tho
occasion and benefitting equally the diff
ferent portions of the State.
The charging exhibitors 81 for stalls
for horses. can have but one result, the
driving away of exhibitors. So tn,
charging of 10 per ent entrance fee OF
single and matched horses will preven
to the most extent their exhibit, thu
cutting off one of the most desirable fea
lures of the fair.
We forebear to criticize the action o
the president of the society in appearing
with a liveried servant, or the good sens,
of the society in choosing a presiden
who could so appear, but W. believe 1t i
evident that a new deal must be made, o
a new society will be created. y.

A DEGREE OF INTIMACY.

Mrs. Richesse, whose money enables
her to live in swell suburban neighbor-
hood, but does not give her the entree
to the best society, was away for the
summer and met several persons who
knew all the best people. One day a
lady asked Mrs. R.:
''Mrs. Richesse, do you know the
Elans ?''
''Not personally, though quite well by
reputation"
''They are lovely people and you
should meet them, And the Browns, do
you know them ?"
"They are our next door neighbors. "
"Indeed. Then you know them in
timately?"
"Well, no, not exactly. Our families
can hardly be said to be very intimate,
and Mrs. B. has never called, but their
coachman is engaged to our hired girl,
and the degree of intimacy existing is
sufficient to permit his coming over to
our house seven nights in the week and
wearing all the paint off the back steps"

GLITTERING PRIsMATIo LIGHTS.

Much can be found to interest a stran.
ger in Albany, N. Y. There's the
Greenbush bridge, for instance. One
evening last week 1 sat near Young
couple. The sixteen year old miss was
a Greenbush lily and the male escort an
Albany tight-pants, silver-headed cane
and an abbreviated-coat young man.
From their conversation I judged the
Greenbush lily had no soul for ro-
nance. Tight-pants was full of it-he
longed to unload ton in the lily's ear.
"Do you see those glittering prismatic
lights on the sparkling waters" he
asked so loud that the bridge man
snickered.
"Well, guess" she replied in an ice
cream voice.
'How romantic they sparkle as each
billow tosses them idly about on the
moonlit river, =" he gusllingly speaketh.

MISS AIInLER's MILK PITCHER.

Miss Sarah Miller, a young lady with
bangs and a sOrrowful expression, was
recently brought into Justice Meech's
Office charged with assault and battery.
There was a case on trial and she told
her story to a reporter. She was the
proprietor of a boarding house at
the corner of Wabash avenue and
Twenty-second street. A certain Mrs.
Mary Klepper was a lodger there. A
war of words drifted into a war of acts.
and Mrs Klepper made charge on Miss
Miller.
"But what are you arrested for?" in
quired the reporter.
"Why, I don't hardly know, it was
Mrs. Klepper's own fault. She run
into the pitcher with her head and cut
herself"
"But where was the pitcher?"
"Oh, that was in my hand"
The case was continued and Miss
Miller will be called upon to explain
how she allowed Mrs. Klepper to run
her head against the pitcher. Chicago
