Another Proposed n forth Pole Hunt.

The New York Yacht club, of which James
Gordon Bennett, Jay Gould and Cyrus W.
Field Jr., are members, entertained sthe Of
fcials. of the Greedy relief expedition$at dinner
a few days ago. Chief Engineer Melville Of
this city made a long-speech, IN. which he-set
ferth the feasibility settling once foEalk the
question q IL ope1 aEeticsseas and That too,
without loss of life. He stated his will
insness to take command Of such an
and that a moderate sum
would be sufficient to cover all the ex--
penses. Young MI, Field in answer, said that
lie was convinced.of the truth of the theory ad.
vancod by Chief Engineer Melville, and that he
was perfectly willing to advance half the sum
required to meet the expenses Of the expedition,
provided the other members of the yacht club
present would put their names down for the
remainder. This they at once agreed to: The
money was subscribed on the spot, and there
is no doubt that an arctic expedition. under
Melvile's command will sail from an American
port in the fall of 1855. Lieut. Melville will
obtain; leave of absence from the navy without
pay for two years for this purpose. -.

he leaned over the front gate.
Certainly, sir; there is no possible
objection.
"They are lovely darlings," said he,

Are they all yours, marm?"
The Lady blushed deeply.
"Of course they are," he continued
e'the sweet little treasuses! From
whom else, marin, could they have in
herited these limpid eyes, these rosy
cheeks, these profuse curls, thesecome-
ly fgures<and these musical voices ?"
/ The lady continued blushing.
"By the way, marm," said he, ''may

Private Henry . Bad Fellow.

A letter from an officer at Fort Buford, Oak.
says: Private Charles B. Henry, who was shot at
Cape Sabine for theft, would never have been &C.

known to the authorities who organized it as it
was to some Of the members Of the Seventh

Charles Buck. In the fall of 1877 tie reg
iment camped at Fort ,Buford for .
while, after it's return from the Nez
Perce campaign, during which time Buck en-
ployed his spare time in forging checks for a
considerable amount on the post traders Leigh
ton, and Jordon. For some, sunaeeountable
reason he was not punished for this offense.
Being embroidered for having escaped punish
ment for his offense at Bnford, he again en-
gagged in the same business while the Seventh
cavalry was camped at Camp Sturgis, where
E isg Meade now stands, during the summer Of

sentenced to be dishonorably discharged from

The Black Hawk War Of 1882.

There are frequent references in the
papers to the "Black Hawk War;" and
many will be glad to know what it was.
During President Jackson's first ad-
ministration, the Sac and Fox Indians
of Illinois, under their leader, Black
Hawk, gave the government SO much
trouble US to cause a war;, Their lands
had been bought by the United States
a. quarter of a century before, but the,
Indians still continued to live on them,
and when the mark Of civilization
brought settlers to their borders they
refused ito withdraw and held out so
successfully against the troops of the
government of Illinois that at last Gen.
eral Scott was sent against them with
nine companies of artillery. His troops
being overtaken by cholera In Chicago,
he could not reach the scene of action,
but General Atkinson, in. several de:
cisiye battles, the last Of which occurred
August p, 1892, defeated the Indians
and took Black Hawk captive. After
spending some years in the East, the
Indian chief saw the fntility Of resist
ance to SO powerful q nation, and was.
allowed to retire to Iowa, where he died
