THE EXPEDITION FOR THE RELIEF OF
LIEUTENANT GREELEY'S PARTY.-A tele-
graphic dispatch has been forwarded by Gen
era1 Terry to the Secretary of War, giving
the names of the persons selected from the
Department of Dakota, to take part in the
expedition, which is to be sent out for the
relief of Lieutenant Greeley and his party,
at Lady Franklin Bay, in the Arctic regions.
The detail consists of commissioned officer
and four enlisted men, who have been cho-
sen as especially well qualified for the du-
ties which will be required of them. The
selection was narrowed down to the regi-
ments which had served longest in the de-
partment, as it was thought that men who
had seen service in the Northwest would be
better able to stand the hardships Of an Arc
tic winter; but even with this restriction,
there has been no lack of applications, and
ever since the call for volunteers was issued
month ago, the list has been heightened
until it included the names of more than
nest a. Darlington, Seventh Cavalry, who
has been selected to command the eXpedi-
ton, was born in South Carolina and gradu-
ated from the Military Academy in 1876.
The others of the detail are Sergeant John
Kenny, Tronp !, Seventh Cavalry; COrpo-
raj Frank Elwell, Company f, Third In
fantry o. +. MOritZ, Company a, Seven
teenth Infantry, and Private J. j. Murphy,
Company f, Eleventh Infantry. Three OF
these have had experience as sailors, and all
have been chosen with special reference to
their physical qualifications. Lieutenant
Darlington is less than thirty years old,
above the average height, with strong,
well built, soldierly physique, and strictly
temperate in his habits. He is very intelli.
gent, and possesses more than ordinary
quickness and energy. Heis considered by
all who know him especially adapted fO1
such command. In addition to Lieuten.
ant Darlington and the above-designated
four, others have been selected, and with
two men from the signal corps and a medi.
cal officer will comprise the party. 1t is
proposed that the expedition shall leave st
Johns, n. F., about June Is next, 50 as tC
take advantage of all favorable conditions
of the ice, and if possible reach Discovery
Harbor. Should this not be possible the
vessel would land the party and stores al
Life-Boat Cove and return southwark. The
party would then establish itself for the
winter and endeavor to open communica
ton with Lieutenant Greeley by sledges anC
assist him in his retreat from Lady Frank
lin Bay. It would not be expected that the
station at Life-Boat Cove would be kept VI
longer than August, 1854, when vesse
would bring the entire party away. Should
the vessel sent in 1883 reach Lieutenan
Greeley, and his party be furnished will
the necessary supplies, it will be desirable
that the station at Lady Franklin Bay bt
} maintained at least one year longer, in orde
to realize the full purposes for which it wa
originally established.-CH Chicago Tribune.

NOW.
Rise for the day is passing,
And you lie dreaming on;
The others have buckled their armor,
And forth to the fight have gone;
A place in the ranks awaits you,
Each man has some part to play;
The Past and the Future are nothing,
In the face of the stern To-day.
Rise from your dreams of the Future
Of gaining some hard fought field;
Of storming some airy fortress,
Or bidding some giant yield;
Your future has deeds Of glory,
Of honor (God grant it may y
But your arm will never be stronger
Or the need so great as to-day.
Rise if the past detains you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to hold you
AS those Of a vain regret;
Sad or bright, she is lifeless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
Of nobler strife to-day.
Rise for the day is passing;
The sound that you scarcely hear
Is the enemy marching to battle:
Arise! for the foe is here!
Stay not to sharpen your weapons,
or the hour will strike at last,
When from dreams of coming battle,
You may wake to find it past.

AMERICAN REsTLEssNEss.-Dr. Edward
Eggleston's illustrated paper in the March
Century, in his series on colonial history,
describes ''The Migrations of American
Colonists," and alludes as follows to an
American trait:
From the beginning, the Americans have
been migratory people. New England
ers, as we have seen, planted, themselves
in Westchester and on Long Island, and
migrated to the more southern colonies.
So Virginians helped to people Maryland,
and North Carolina migrated nOrthWard
to New York, and, even before the Revolu-
ton, began to look wistfully over the noun
tain barrier into the great interior valley.
New York Dutch migrated to South Caro-
lima some Of them settled also in Maine,
Pennsylvanians, excited by fear of Indian
massacre during the French wars, occupied
much of the mountain and piedmont" re-
giOns of the colonies to the sOuthWard. 1t
is said that of three thousand five hundred
militiamen of Orange county in North
Carolina, during the Revolution, every
man was native of Pennsylvania. There
was an inceSsant movement to and fro OF
people seeking to better their condition.
Once the European had broken away from
his mooring of centuries, the vastness of
the new continent piqued him, and he be-
came rover. This instability as to place
remains yet in the American character.
The mental alertness, which comes OF
changing circumstances, new scenes, and
unexpected difficulties, was early remarked
by travellers as characteristic to the native
Of the colonies.
WOMAN's POwER.-The mothers solici-
tude, the wife's patience and anxiety, the
sisters love, have proved in nine cases out
of ten, the strong cord that pulled at the
heart of the wanderer, till son, or husband,
or brother could no longer bear the strain,
and loosened by it coming nearer and near
er home. Some woman's hand holds the
key, unconsciously and carelessly perhaps,
but holds it to almost every mans heart,
and the closed doors will be unbarred to her,
and yield to her touch, when no other pow
er will stir them on their rusty hinges. Let
any woman who finds herself thus inside
beware how she works! In clearing out the
darkened chambers so that Gods light can
enter let her work with such skillful touch
es of prayer and tenderness as shall do some
thing better than stir, like an unskillful ser
want, all the dust, only to see it settle thick
er in another place. 1t is no light work,
this leading of human souls, and any woman
who undertakes it needs to bring to it all
there is of her. She will need her knowl-
edge of God, and perhaps never discover
how little she possesses till she tries to open
it for another soul to measure her treasure.
She will need her knowledge of people, her
discrimination of character, her intuitive
discernment of mental conditions, and her
sympathetic perception of feeling. All the
brightest and best that she can command is
not too good nor too fair to be used in the
saying of what is best and tairest in others.
