Lost in the Arctic Regions
LIEUT.. ADOLPUUS w. GREELEY.


At last, the first vessel of the Greeley
Relief Expedition, the Bear" has
sailed for the Arctic regions on its hu-
name mission of rescue. Two other
vessels, the Thetis and Alert, will soon
follow, and if Lieut.. Greeley snd his
party are still survivors, they may yet
be rescued and returned to their
country and friends.
It will be remembered that the Gree.
ley expedition set out in midsummer
nearly three years ago, to man one Of
the Polar stations in the North, estab-
lished for scientific purposes, by the
leading governments of the world
The party left the ship "Proteus" at
Lady Franklin Bay and proceeded
northward. Nothing was heard of
Greedy and his followers for some time
and then reports were received at the
War and Navy Departments, that the
party were in distress. An expedition
was Immediately sent for their relief,
which was compelled to return with.
out accomplishing its purpose, or even
being able to obtain any reliable in.
formation in regard to the fate or
whereabouts of the missing party.
The details of the organization and
equipment of the present expedition
by Congressional action are fully
known to our readers.
We publish an excellent likeness OF
Lieutenant Greedy, who was born in
Massachusetts, and is about forty years
of age. He is not a graduate of any OF
the military academies, and he entered
the war as private. His military
record is highly honorable. From
private he was promoted to corporal
and first sargeant in Company b, of
the Nineteenth Massachusetts Infant
ry. On the 18th of March, 1868, he
was made second Lieutenant in the
Eighty-first U. s. Colored Infantry
and in April. 1864 he was promoted to
First Lieutenant. He was breveted
Major on the 18th of March, 1865. for
" faithful and meritorious service"
He was made captain of the Eighty
first ColOred Infantry on the 4th of
A April, 1865, and on the 22nd of March,
1867, lie was honOrably mustered out |
Upon the reorganization in 1869, he |
was assigned to the Fifth Cavalry, and |
became First Lieutenant i'll 1873, which
8 his present rank.

PILESl PILELI!PlLES!II

A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding,
Itching, and liberated Piles, has been
discovered by DIR. William, ian Indian
remedy )called DIR. WILLIAM s INDIAN
OINTMENT. A single box has cured
the worst chronic cases of twenty-five
years standing. No one need suffer
five minutes after applying this Won
derful soothing medicine. Lotions and
instruments do more harm than good
Williams Ointment absorbs the tu-
mOrs, allays the intense itching, (par-
ticularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as poultice, gives in
slant and painless relief, and is pre-
pared only for Piles, itching of the
private parts, and for nothing else.

A Lawyers Duty.

There is sort of legend in the legal
profession, says the N. Y. Graphic,
that lawyer is bound by his oath and
by his sense of honor and of justice to
defend TO the last extremity the client
who retains him, and many persons
outside of the profession think that
there is actually law which cempels
a lawyer to this course. OF course,
there is no such law as requires law
yer to defend the guilty because the
criminal happens to have money to
pay him. He can decline if he likes,
and if he accepts it is matter of bu
siness, and business only. The lawyer
obligates himself to defend the guilty
only by the proper process of law from
the law, and he does not agree to en-
ploy or consent to the employment of
illegal means to accomplish the en-
ployment of an lawful end. 1t is when
corrupt scoundrels, who have managed
to get themselves enrolled in the legal
profession violate their oaths and frus-
trate justice, that the profession is de-
graded and the laws which govern le-
gal practice are violated. 1t is the joint
offences of criminals and their corrupt
counsel which have precipitated the
trouble at Cincinnati and brought car.
mage and dishonor upon that city. II
will clear the atmosphere there; it
will bring about reform but it is re.
form dearly bought with bloodshed.

THE Republican platform declares
that that party is in favor of collecting
an adequate revenue to defray the
proper and economical expenses of the
government from duties on imports
and proper internal taxation. Now
the Democracy were never in favor OF
1evying tariff duties for any other pur.
pose, and have always held that til,
levying of "a tariff for any other pur.
pose is unconstitutional. But the Re.
publicans demand more than that
they insist that system of taxation
that bleeds the people 500 600, 900 an
nually more than is needed for the
proper and economical expenses of the
government, shall be continued in
force.

Influence of the Soil on Health.

Influence Of the Soil on Health
The influence of the soil upon the
health OF those living upon it, is bro't
out very plainly during the prevalence
of epidemic diseases. That malarial
diseases Qike Intermittent fevers) orig
mate from the soil, is already accepted;
and recent Investigations show pretty
conclusively that the germs of Cholera.
Abdominal Typhus, Yellow Fever and
the Plague, are in some way connected
with the soil, which is daily corrobo-
rated by letters from all parts of the
country, stating the marvellous effect
PERUNA has on those diseases, and in
their convalescent state. John f.

LANDAULET WILLIAMS AND HIS IsTI-
TATORS.
Landaulet Williams is still remem-
bered. The scandal of his appropria-
ton of Government carriage to his
private use was too great to be lived
down, and he retired to his own dis
taht Northwest. But now not only
does every head of department have
carriage at public cost, but nearly
every deputy, chief clerk and head of
bureau has one. The aggregate an
nual cost is many thousands. That
for which Williams paid the penalty
is universally and ostentatiously prac-
tlced on a large scale. Government
carriages may be seen every day i'm use
oy cabinet officers and their families,
Not one ricketty landauIet, such as
Williams used, but a dozen of the
ilhest description are continually 60
ing. There are heads of departments
who seldom use them, but they are
running all the same. If there is no
one else to ride, there are plenty of
clerks who are ready. Among the pur-
chases of the Interior Department the
last year is six seated rockaway cost
ing about 800. Already every depart.
ment spends annually several hundred
dollars for car tickets. A calculation
based Oh the figures shows that to use
the tickets more than a score of per-
sons from single department must
be constantly riding.
THE WIFE OF MAJ-GEN. CARROLL SUES
FOR AN ABSOLUTE DIVORCE.
Army circles at the capital are much
exercised at present over a scandal in
the family of Major-Gen. Carroll, a
retired army officer, who made an ex-
cellent record during the war. Mrs.
Carroll is about fifty years old, above
the medium height, and quite hand
some. She has two daughters, one OF
whom is Mrs. J. w. Beale, and the
other is debutante in society. She
has filed a petition for divorce, her
counsel being Mr.. G. B. Corkhill. She
AYERS that by the discovery of his ac.
tions her peace and happiness have
been destroyed and her health affected
and injured Since the discovery OF
his unfaithfulness, for the sake of her
children and in the hope that he would
reform, she remained with him, but
his conduct has been daily growing
worse. She states that his pay is S46S.-
% per month, and that as she is de-
pendent upon him, she asks that he
be lefrained from interfering with or
annoying her, that he be decreed to
pay alimory and sum for counsel
fees. Mrs. Carroll is closely related to
come OF the most distinguished officers
in the service.
