Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indOmit-
able will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far, nearly 100000 of
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 2O0,-
900 more of his make; that means a
business of $50, ,OOO, 900, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel f.
Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for
catalogue.

Anxiety Ahont the Oceanic.

New York, Feb. 1S.-This evenings New York Sun eays:
 No word has as yet been received in this city regarding the tramp steamship Oceanic, which the New York passed in a gale last Friday Considerable anx- iety is felt in shipping circles for the vessel Punch. Edye & Co, to whom she is consigned, said to-day, however, that they had no fears for her safety, as they hardly expected her to reacn port before to-day.
 The Oceanic is a steamship of 1863 tons. She carried a crew of about twenty seven men when she left Sun derIand on January 20. The American liner New York passed her at Il o'clock on Friday morning about $50 miles east of Sandy Hook.
 The Oceanic sgnalled that her shaft was broken and asked the New York to tow her. 4 heavy sea, was running q the time ttiiffff Oceanic was n in danger, So the New York refused to tow her and steamed on after lying alongside for a short time. Nothing has been seen or heard of the tramp since. It is believed that the strong westerly winds that have prevailed of late have blown her far out of her course.

mon Include stan of scientific ex- perts,
 No an Arctic authority In England or America endorsed Nansen's plan for eX- plorlns the polar hasin. Notwithstand- ng this fact the Royal Geographical society of England gave him consider able sum of money to help him carry out his project. Over $50,0O0 was raised For him in Norway. His enthusiasm and sublime faith in himself were ire- sistibla.
 After the lecture delivered by him shortly before he started he made many converts. His theories appealed to his hearers, Many doubling Thomases changed their minds after hearing him. If the others had little confidence in the ultimate result of the voyage. he still had their best wishes pr. Nansen thought that the Jeannette expedition was the only one that hit upon the cor rect theory to gain the object in view. The explorer said shortly before he started:
 '"rhe Jeannette drifted for two years in the ice from Wrangel Land to the New Siberian islands, Three years af- ter the ship had gone down to the north Of these there were found a number of objects on the drift ice near Julian schaab, on the southwest coast of Green land. which, from unquestionable marks, must have belonged to the sunk ed vessel and been frozen in the ice'
 Among these was a list of the stores with Commander DeLongs own sig nature: a list of the Jeannette's boats and various articles of wearing apparel belonging to men who were saved, which they left behind them when they took to their boats, It was argued from this that an unknown current had borne them across the Arctic ocean from Beh- ring straits to Greenland; that there was a comparatively short and direct | course across the Arctic ocean by way of the North pole; that nature had sup l piled the means of communication how ever uncertain it might be.
 Dr. Nansen laid out his route as fol- lows: To Nova Zembla, to the Kara | sea- skirt the Siberian coast, pass Cape | Tscheljusllin, the most northerly point of the old world press on to the River Lena, here leave the coast and head north past the Island of Kotelno; con- tinue until pack ice renders further navigation impossible then run the ship into the ice.
 Dr. Nansen did not expect to move on again until he had reached open water on the other side of the pole. He ex- pected 10 be taken by the drifting ice foes right across the polar region down into the East Greenland sea, between Sptizbergen and Greenland-having in this way reached and passed the pole. May be away only two years" Man. sen said when he started, ''but of this | feel certain, that I shall be back at the | end Of five years

Weyler Disco uraged.

Madrid, Feb. 13-A dispatch to the Imparcial from Havana gives a report of an interview with Captain General Weyler in which he expresses with great emphasis his disgust at the con- dition of affairs which he found upon his arrival in Cuba. With the enemy only nine miles from the capital, the courage of the Spanish troops droop- ing. the army uselessly split up into small sections, and a powerful force of cavalry scattered into minute detach- ments, things, he said, could not have been much worse
 General Weyler declared that, while he might meet with momentary diff culties, he would nevertheless conquer by constant work and ceaseless activ- ty. It was his intention, he said. to close up the infantry corps with rein forcements from Spain and to suppress all the existing small detachments.
