from Mississippi parties TO the Chickasaw

AN expedition to Greenland will be
begun next Saturday. The expedition has
been equipped at Christisns, Norway, aud
will set out from Copenhagen, under the
leadership OF Mr. Nansen, the curator of
the famous museum at Bergen. A land
ing will be made on the barren and for
bidding eastern coast. As the New York
Tribune says, 1t is a remarkable under.
taking. For hundreds of years the very
route from Europe 10 Greenland seemed TO
DO forgotten. In l72S, however, Danish
explorers attempted to penetrate to the
interior OF the unknown land, but were
not able to get out OF sight OF their ships
masts, and another attempt, made In 175l,
was equally futile. Thencoforwsrd no land
Ing was made on those ICY shores for more
than century, until an American, DR..
Hayes, in 1850, made his way inland some
sixty miles In latitude 7s:Is. DR.. Rae an
Englishman followed him, but failed to
equal bis achievement, and the subsequent
expeditions OF Mr.. Wbympsr and DR..
Brown, OF Professor Nordensk jold and DR..
Berggren, and Of Messrs. Jensen, Karne.
rup and Groih, were no more fortunate.
In 1888 Professor Nordensk jold made SEQ.
ond attempt, and managed to get inland
nearly seventy miles, while other memb bers
OF his party went fifty miles further still.
Finally, last year, an American engineer,
Mr. Peary, and Dane, Mr.. Maigaard, pen.
eusted TO distance Oft hundred miles.
These attempts, made from the west coast,
cover practically the whole range OF G reen.

What We Should Pres,rye

Letter IA tho Eastern Farmer.
We should preserve with great care overy
tree, large and small, beside our country
roads, which are found growing in the
right place for shade trees 10 stand,
let those trees be birch, beech, maple, ash,
elm, pine, spruce, hemlock or any other
kind. Any tree IL better than the naked
fence and road. Thousands OF good trees
by the sides Of our roads are sacrificed to
the axe every year, which, II saved and
neatly trimmed and cared for, would make
beautiful trees In few years and cast re-
freshing shadow. BY taking a little pains
one will be surprised to find how many
trees can DO found In almost any town by
looking along the distance Of single mile,
and how many may be saved In town In
single year without being ut tho labor of
transplsnting. just mako q careful selec-
tion OF those to be saved among the multi
tude of small trees which are constantly
springipg up by the roadside. While from
twenty to thirty feet apart are proper dis.
tances In this work, that rule cannot be
strictly observed, but an approach TO 1t as
near as possible IL desirable.

An Animal show.

The Senate was circus yesterday, MI.
Ingalls, advertised speech being an attrac-
ton that crowded the chamber. Mr.. In.
gals Is good circus donkey. He is lit
lie else. He had not magnanimity enough
10 admit that he had been unjust In his
asnult upon McC Clellan and Hancock, but
put additional venom into his attack
upon the former, and as to Hancock at.
tempted to distinguish between his mill.
tary and civil career and to say that 1t
was only the latter he had criticised. 1t
was miserable effort to escape from his
words, and was naturally based upon q
transparent falsehood.
Mr.. Ingalls, undertook to draw off at
tention from his unhappy position by
dragging Senator Voorhees, into the ring
with him, es the assailant OF Abraham
Lincoln and as disloyal during the war,
throughout which he sat in Congress
voting men and money for its support.
He fell foul of voorhees, because Voor-
hees several days ago in the Senate had
denounced him. There was gladiato-
rial fight between the two in the Senate
hall yesterday; or it would have teen
such, II the Kansas senator had shown
gladiatorial strength. He was instead
surprisingly weak for his reputation. lie
has been held to be the most valiant Re-
publican debater in the Senate. In this
encounter he showed himself shallow
fellow indeed. Senator Voorhees, met
his accusations firmly, denouncing his
statements as untrue and showing that
ingalls, was habitually inaccurate, If
not Intentionally false In his state
ments. He showed that for ten
years after the Kansas senator's entrance
into Congress, he had furnished no infor-
nation Of his military record to the
biographical dictionary; but then he de.
scribed himself as lieutenant colonel
and judge advocate during the war;
though the Kansas military records fail
U6sustain his claim.
Senator ingalls, complained in school.
boy style of the Indiana senator s castiga-
tion OF him, claiming that he had not de-
served 1t from the mildness with which
he had commented upon Senator Voor-
hees' war record T; about which he pro-
ceeded to relate all the stories that have
been current since. In spite Of them the
Indiana senator keeps his place in Con-
gress which Is a sufficient answer To
them and conclusive evidence of their
futility. There was SONS unparliamen.
tary language used by Senator Voorhees,
n denouncing their repetition by sena.
sor ingalls,, and he doubtless used
greater energy than was needed to
dsstS6y troublesome mosquito. Sena.
-tor ingalls, was little more. He showed
the mesnness of his metal in his original
remarks and demonstrated 1t in his sup.
Elementary speeches. There was no jus.
ti6cation for taking up the time of the
Senate with such stuff as he spoke. There
was nc occasion to warrant 1t. The Sen.
ate is not the place to debate to-day the
character of Mcclellan, Hancock or
Lincoln. 1t Is the council chamber of the
nati0n for the consideration of the prac-
tical questions of the day. Mr.. ingalls,,
desiring to speak upon other matters,
should have sought lyceum hall or
Kansas stump for his deliverance.
