Aaron Burr's First Duel.

lost patience under the attacks of Ham.

scented a rumor that had been started,
to the effect that for Legislative services
rendered by him the Holland company
had cancelled a bond against him for
$4,000. Burr cast about for the au.

satisfaction. John b. Church, a
distinguished New Yorker, the uncle
of Hamilton, was heard openly
repeating the story as a fact
and him Burr held respon ,ible, send
ing him challenge to mortal combat
which was promptly accepted. They
met at Hoboken. Church had for his
second one Abijah Hammond, while
Burr was attended by Judge Burke OF
South Carolina. The serious affair
ended in a joke that amused all New
York and furnished popular by-word
in the city for some time.
On the morning OF the duel, when
Burr, before leaving home, handed his

he explained that the balls were cast

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE GREELY
EXPEDITION.


Lieut.. Greely has communicated to the press
an interesting summary of the contributions TO
science of the expedition which bears his name
For more than two years the party was in
excellent health and spirits, and worked hard
and effectively at observing. It demonstrated
that the idea of establishing "Circum-polar
stations" was entirely feasible, if the results
to be obtained were worth while. If his party
had been properly supplied with food the mem
bers could have lived there 10 years The
observations, which were to be made with the
greatest accuracy. were those of the declination
and deviation of the magnetic needle temper
ature of the air and sea, hight of barometer,
and mean and maximum rise and fall of tides,
but all explorations were merely incidental to
the main object of the expedition.
In the course of the tidal observations the fact
was discovered that the tide at Lady Franklin
Bay came from the North, while that at Lake
Sabine came from the South, and that the tenn
perature of the North tide is two degrees
warmer than that of the South tide at Cape
Sabine The average rise of Spring tide at
Lady Franklin Bay was found to be eight feet,
and at Cape Sabine the highest tides rise 12
feet. At both these points the vegetation is
about the same, and comprises MOSES, ichens,
willows, and saxifrage. Wolves, weighing 90
pounds, and foxes were found there.
At Halls Basin and Robeson's Channel.
where DR.. Hayes claims to have seen an open
sea, Lieut. Lockwood, from an elevation of
1000 feet and with the strongest glasses, could
discover nothing but ice packs. In his trip of
1882, Lockwood reached the highest latitude
ever attained-300 miles directly north of LADY
Franklin Bay,-at which point the detection
of the magnetic needle was 104 degrees west.
1t was observed that during the two years at
Lady Franklin Bay the magnetic needle was
never quiet except during storms.
The highest temperature experienced was
$50 above, and the lowest so below. The sun
was above the horizon continuously for 1876
days, and below it for the same length of time
when it was so dark that at no time could the
dial of watch be read without artificial light
Lieut.. Greely does not think the North Pole
can ever be reached unless every circumstance
hitherto found unfavorable should happen to
be propitious to the party making the attempt.
It must be confessed that the results are dis
couraginsly meager.

THE GOLDEN GATE IN 1888.

Next year the National Encampment of the
GAR. will be held in sight of the rolling waves
of the Sunrise Sea- as the Zunis POLITICALLY
term it, in the beautiful city of Portland, Ne.
There in one of the remotest corners of our
broad land-as near as practicable to the ex-
treme northern and eastern boundaries, at the
very edge in two directions of our vast domain
the comrades viii meot and counsel together.
When they lift their eyes to look out over the
restless heaving ocean, they will realize as
over $500 miles of watery waste rolls between
them and where any other banner is raised
above strong nation, and that their own proud
flag waves over every one of the $500 miles to
the westward, until the shores of the worlds
other great ocean are reached, and over every
one of the 1000 miles to the southwark. to the
orange orchards that shade the warm waters of
the great gulf of the tropics, they cannot help
feeling, as they never did before, how great
their country is, and being profoundly grate-
full that they were the chosen instruments for
her preservation and up-building.
Therefore, it was undoubtedly wise thing
to choose Portland as meeting place. 1t viii
give new life to the Order throughout New
England, and make the pulses of its blood beat
more strongly with health-giying strength in
those six little but glorious old States, which
furnished nearly 100000 of their sons to
fight the battles of the Union.
Now, why would it not be grand thing to
make bold leap across the continent and hold
the Encampment for 1886 on the shores of the
Shutdown Sea, at the extreme western bound
ary of our country? San Francisco wants the
Encampment to assemble within her hospitable
gates. She is eager to entertain-as no other
city on the continent can erhertain-the rep
resentatives of the men whose valor and en-
durance to tho end saved the Nation She
wants to show the men who will gather from
every part of the Republic what she and what
California really are. She wants to display to
them the marvellous wealth of her fields, her
orchards and her mines, and the unsurpassed
glories of her scenery and climate She wants
to contrast the Far West with the Far East
to set the tropical richness and luxuriance of
California in opposition to therugged strength
of the pine-clad hills of Maine.
Very many of the active business men of
San Francisco were soldiers; all her contrel-
ing spirits are laEge Drained, large-souled men,
who have the keenest sympathy with soldierly
service and achievement
San Francisco is famed for her hospitality.
She does everything on a grand scale, and her
entertainment is more than princely, more
than royal-it is Californian She would give
the comrades such treatment as would astonish
and delight them.
The Pacific Railroads s-equally eager to have
the Encampment held in San Francisco-would
make rates that would bring the journey within
the means of every one. By all means let Us
go to San Francisco in 1856.

THE "CoPPER-CURE.p

The new copper-cure" for cholera is based
upon the old medical idea that q man can be
poisoned just enough to kill his disease, and
yet not enough to kill him. Any form of cop
per is supposed to be very destructive of the
cholera -microbe, and it is claimed that weak
solution of copper-salt-say the sulphate of
copper, or "blue vitriol," as it is commonly
called, or the acetate can be administered to
the patient, without doing him any damage,
while it will inevitably destroy the disease
germ. Quite a number of tests have been
made, which seem to confirm this theory. 1t
is always best, however, to receive these claims
for special efficacy of any drug in the treat
ment of disease with great caution. The medi
cal profession has its "spasms," "rages," and
runs" just the same as the society and the
theatrical worlds. We all remember. few
years ago, how the doctors were wildly entbn-
siastic over carbolic acid They bathed their
patients with it, made them inhale it, com
bined it with quinia, mprphia, zinc, lead. and
iron, made salves, lotions, soaps, gargles pills.
and potions of it, injected it into all the orr
fees of the body, and then administered it SUBJ
cutaneously. An atmosphere of carbolic acid
surrounded doctor wherever he moved. Then
the salicylic acid fad followed. 1t was hardly
run to the extent of the carbolic acid craze,
but it approached very near TO it.
In spite of.all DR.. Burg's enthusiasm for con-
per we have not the slightest tinge of belief
that it is of any value in the treatment of
cholera. 1t is not rational, nor is it supported
by any reasonable analogy in the practice of
medicine. If it has any effect upon the sys-
tenn it is to depress the vital force, and that of
all things is the most to be dreaded in the
treatment of such diseases as the cholera.
The National tribune., 1884-08-21

similar terrible strain on his mind and body
Things were done which seemed right in their
eyes, and which were indeed justified by the
circumstances at the time, but which it is
impossible for the mass of people to under
stand or appreciate. 1t would be a cruel
wrong to the memory of Sergt. Linn,
whose remains now lie in an honored grave, to
have it revealed to the world that he perished
by the hand of the executioner, because the cir
cumstances attending the execution, and which
mitigated or entirely removed its shame, can
not be made as clear to the public understand
Ing as the fact of the execution itself
We are saying this on the assumption that
sergt. Linn might have been exocuted-so
thing of which there has so far not been the
slightest evidence.

LET THE DEAD REST.

The mother of sergt Linn, one of the Arctic
explorers, has become so excited over the sem
sational stuff going the rounds of the papers
that she declares she must have her sons body
exhumed for / shall not feel satisfied until I
see the body. / would like to see if he was
shot" This is preposterous. She may be in
viting lifelong misery upon herself IF she
finds out that her son was really shot the
shame of the thing will haunt her until her
dying days. 1t viii destroy all satisfaction she
may have had in the courage her son showed
in volunteering for the expedition, and in sup
porting its earlier trials. If the man were shot
there may be really nothing that should dis
grace him. The men at Camp Sabine were in
such condition as can only be appreciated by
those who have passed through like terrible
experiences. No man can understand the feel
ing that pervaded those unfortunate men in
their long struggle with starvation and the
cruel cold, unless he has been subjected to
The National tribune., 1884-08-21

THE miserable inefdciency of our foreign
policy is sufficiently shown by the decision of
Congress at its last session to abolish the Con-
sulate at Cairo, in order to make show of hav-
ing saved the Consuls salary-$5, 900 year.
This leaves our merchants and people without
an authorized representative in the oldest
country in the world, which has a population
of over It, 100000. We had quite trade with
Egypt, and it was growing up rapidly till the
recent troubles there. England thinks the
trade of the Nile Valley so important that she
is ready to go to war to secure it, and France
and Germany would each fight her for it if
they could be sure that the other would not
interfere. And yet people wonder that our
trade with the rest of the world does not de-
velop faster than it does. If we want outlets
abroad for our productions, we must do as other
people do-work for them.
