idea of ttie general nature and prob
able value of the scientific observa
tions made by Lieutenant Greely at
Lady Franklin Buy, a corree pondent
visitei the Lieutenant at his cottage
oq Seave Island Saturday after
noon. He was very cordially receiv
ed by Lieutenant Greely, and when
be stated the object of his visit the
Lieutenant at once consented to
pive all information tltsired. Lieu
tenant Greely lirst stated the object
of the expedition, viz: To establish
at Lady Franklin Bay a polar sta
tion, oiie of the thirteen suggested
by Lieutenant Weyprecht, of Aus
tria, who discovered Franz Josef
Land. Simultaneous observations
of all physical phenomena were to
, bo taken. The utuipiete programme
which was to be followed was arran
ged by an International Polar Con
gress, in which representatives of
thirteen nations - took part The
observations in which the greatest
possible accuracy were to be had,
were those of declination and de
viation of the magnetic needle, tem
perature of the air and sea, height
of barometer, and mean and maxi
mum rise and fall of tides.
All explorations were identical to
the main objects of the expedition.
The expedition was fitted out under
authority of an act of Congress ap
proved May 1, 18S0. The party was
composed of three oilicers of the
army, one acting assistant surgeon,
and nineteen enlisted men, selected
by recommendation from the ranks
of the army. Stores for twenty
seven months were put on the Pro
teus for the party. The Proteus
steamed away from St. Johns, N. F.,
July 7, 18S1, with the party on
board. She touched at Disco Island
and Upernavik to procure sledges,
dogs, skins and dog food. Two Es
quimaux were added to the party at
Proven. Landing was made at Ca
rey Island, in the North Water,
and provisions cached by Nares in
1S75 in the Alert were found in
good condition. At Littleton Itland
Lieutenant Greely personally re
covered the English Arctic mail left
by Sir Allan Young in the Pandora
in 1S7G. At Carl Hitter Bay, in
Kennedy Channel, a cache of pro
vision for use on the retreat was
made.
KSTA.r.!.ISIll.VJ THE STATION.
It was the original intention to
establish the polar station at Water
Course Bay, but the heavy masses
of ice which were encountered ren
dered Water Course Bay an exceed
ingly dangerous anchorage, Moving
to Discovery Harbor, the station
was there established on the site oc
cupied by the English expedition
of 1573. The erection of a house
was at once commenced, and the
stores and equipments were landed.
On the '-"Sth of August came the
parting between the Greely party
and tiie men of the Proteus. The
little band gathered on the frozen
shore and watched the Ityteus as
she steamed slowly down Lady
Franklin Bay, leaving them to the
mercies ot the cruel North. On the
evening of the same day the temper
ature sank below the freezing point,
and the icy Arctic Winter was on
them in earnest. Their house was
finished about a week after the Pro
teus left. It was named, in honor of
Senator Conger, Fort Conger.
During the first month the cold
affected the men more than any
subsequent time at Fort Conner.
Later on. in December, the temper
ature sank to from 50 to Go degrees
below zero, and so r3mained for
days at a time, but even in that
weather the cook's favorite amuse
ment was dancing bare-headed, bare
armed and with slippered feet on
the top of a snow drift. During the
day the men dressed in ordinary
outside clothing, but their flannels
were very heavy. Five of the men
were generally for a part of the day
engaged in scientific work under
Lieutenant Greely 'a direction and in
the duties of the camp. The rest of
the men were employed generally
, about one hour a day, and devoted
the remainder of the time to amuse
ment. All 6lept in bunks. The
quarters were heated by a large coal
stove, the average heat maintained
being fifty degrees above zero. Play
ing checkers, cards and chess, and
reading, were the amusements of
the evening. The life was said by
Lieutenant Greely to be far from a
lonely one, rnd many of the men
said they had never passed two
happier years than those spent at
Fort Conger.
THE ARCTIC NIGHT.
On the 15th of October the sun
left them for 135 days, and a twi-
light varying from half an hour to
twenty-four hours succeeded. For
two months it was so dim the dial
of a watch could not be read by it
On April 11th the sun came above
the horizon and remained there 13-5
days, giving the party a great suf
ficiency of midnight sun. During
three months the stars were visible
constant!)', the constellations of Or
ion's Belt and the Great Bear being
the brightest The North Star look
ed down from almotst overhead.
Standing alone outside the fort on
one of these nights, the scene was
weirdly grand. To the North flam
ed the aurora borealis, and the bright
constellations were set like jewels
around the flowing moon. Over
everything was dead silence, so hor
ribly, oppressive that a man alone
was almost tempted to kill himself,
so lonely does he feel. The astrono
mer of the .arty said that with the
naked eye a star of one degree small
er magnitude than can be seen here
in the same way might be dis
cerned. " The moon would remain in
sight rorfiona eleven to twelve days
at a time.' Th thermometer regis
tered on June 30. 1882. the highest
temperature at Lady Franklin Bay
which we knew during our stay. It
was ' 52 ' degrees above zero. The
lowest was in February, 1S83, and
wag 60 degree below zero. In this
February our mercury froze and re
mained !id for fifteen days, so in
tense was the cold. The mercury
in the thermometer invariably rose
during storms or high winds. The
highest barometer was slightly
above 31 inches, and the lowest
slightly below 2U inches, showing a
great range. The greatest variation s
were in the Winter. The electrome
ter, an instrument used to ascertain
! the presence of electricity was set up
I but to the astonishment of Lieuten
ant Grtw.lv not the eliehtest results
were obtained. The displays of
aurora were very pood, but not to
be compared with those Eeen at Dis
co Island or Upernavik."
ELECTRICITY AND THE TIDES.
As far as Lieutenant Greely could
observe, no crackling sound accom
panied the displays, and the gener-.
at shape was that 01 a nooon. i
Southwesterly horizon was the quar
ter in which the brightest displays
were seen. Sir Georze Xares re-

In the course of the tidal obser
vations made a very interesting
fact was discovered, viz: That the j

Cape Sabine came
from the south.
The temperature of j
the north tide is two degrees warmer
than that of the south ude at Cape
Sabine. Whv this was Lieutenant
Greely would not venture to state.
He used in measuring trie euo anu

iron rod planted in the niud. The
average rise !' Spring tides at Lady

during the two years.
At Lady Franklin my Uie average
temperature of the water was SJ
degrees above zero, or three degrees
below the freezing point on es
weighing ninety pounds were killed
around Fort Conger, and there are
foxes and other animals there. Of
fish there is a wonderful scarcity.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of the
expedition was the the taking from
Lake Alexander, a lresli-water lase
fifteen feet above the sea level, a
four-pound salmon. From the bay
or tea only two very small fish were
taken during the entire two years,
and very few are to be found North
of Cape Sabine. Tfee vegetation at
Lady Franklin Bay is about the
same as at Cape Sabine, and com
prises mosses, lichens, willows and
saxifrage. Snowstorms are, of course,
most frequent, and rainfalls very
rare. The highest velocity of the
wind was registered during a ter
rific snowstorm seventy miles per
hour.
lockwood'h great achievement.
Lockwood"s trips to the North, in
1882 and 18S;J, were productive of
the most valuable results. Stand
ing, on the l'Jih of May in each year
where Dr. Hayes had formerly stood
at about the same day, Lockwood,
from an elevation of 2,000 feet, using
his strongest glass on Hall's Basin
and Iiobeson's Channel, could dis
cern nothing but ice packs. There
it was Dr. Hayes claimed to have
seen nis open polar sea. ua uie
trip of 1882 Lockwood reached the
highest latitude ever attaired 8-3
2-V North. This wa3 about 300
miles directly North of Lady Frank
lin Bay, but to get there he traveled
over 1,000 miles, the open water and
broken packs frequently causing
him to retrace his steps fifty miles.
Lockwood sounded the sea both
years between Cape Bryant and
Cape Britannia, but could not touch
bottom with 135 fathoms of line.
Markham, a few years before, about
l.fJOO miles to the west, got bottom
at 72 fathoms. '
Lockwood found at his farthest
North about the same vegetation as
at Lady Franklin Bay, but no signs
of a polar current or open polar sea.
In 1883 he was stopped near Cape
Bryant, 125 miles from Lady Frank
lin Bay, by an open channel extend
ing West to the east of Grinnel
Land. The width of the channel
varied from 200 yards to live miles
but on the North the ice packs ex
tended as far as could be seen with a
glass. With his supply of provis
ions, the failure of which had caus
ed his return the year before, Lock
wood was confident that he could
have reached 85 degrees North if
this open channel had not barred
his way. No fossil remains were
discovered on this trip, and the only
ones found were the trunks of trees
on the Southwest coast of Grinnell
Land. The only sea animals seen
by Lockwood at S3 2-5' were the
walrus and seal, and, strange to say,
the walrus is not to be lound at
Lady Franklin Bay. At S3 25' the
deflection of the magnetic needle
was 104 West, more than one-fourth
of a circle. As far as Lockwood
went the Northeastern trend of the
Greenland coast still continued.
The maps of the new regions he dis
covered are in the possession of
Lieutenant Greely and are very
carefully made. All through, the
magnetic needle was never quiet
except during storms. In Februa
ry, 1883, preparations for the retreat
were made by establishing a depot
at Cape Baird, twelve miles to the
South.
MAKING THE RETRE VT.
Day after day the anxious men
I looked off over Lady Franklin Bay,
expecting tne ice to open, so they
might commence their ioarnev to-
J wards home. At last, on August 19,
j 1883, the welcome news that ice was
open, was brought All Lad been
made ready, and that very dav the
party embarked in
the l'ttle steam
launch. Behind them they left
their dogs, as they could not be
taken. Four barrels of pork and
some seal on were leu lor ttie am-
mais. iauy rrauKiiu liay was
crossed to cape Baird, a distance of
thirteen miles, and then the Grin
nell Land was followed South as far
as Cape Hawkes. Large quantities
of heavy ice were met. aud extreme
was the danger that every moment
the little launch would be crushed.
The suffering ot the nieu was great.
They were now within 50 miles of
Cape Sabine.
Striking from CapeHawkes direct
for Bates Island, the party was
caught in the ice pack and frozen in
ten miles South of Cape Hawkes.
In thirteen days they drifted South
twenty-five miles on the floes, suf
fering horribly from the cold. So
they drifted to within eleven miles
of Cape Sabine, and were obliged to
abandon the steam launch on Sep
tember 10th. The pack now re
mained motionless for three days,
and several times the party got
within two or three miles of Cape
Sabine, only to be drifted back by
Southwest gales. Five seals were
killed and eaten, while the party
were drifting about Eventually a
heavy Northwest gale drove them
by Cape Sabine, within a mile of
isrevoon isiand, but they could not
land. On September 22d there arose j
the most terrific gale they had yet!
seen on the Arctic Ocean. Their ice ,
floe was driven hither and thither
by the tempest and the waves wash -
ed over them again and again, (he
spray freezing to them and causing
tbem intense suffering.
Night came on, one of inky black-
ness. The wind threw the heavy
floes toether, and crash after crash
of ice breaking from their own floe,
warned the men that death was near
to tbem. No man knew at what
minute the floe might break up and
the waters engulf tbem. The first
faint light of dawn showed them
that little remained of the floe upon
which they were. . The sea washed
another close to them. Closer it

AS OPEN POLAR SEA.
Lieutenant Greely, when a.-ked -s
to hi3 ideas upon the probable re
sults of Arctic explorations, said :
" I do not think the North Pole can
be reached unless every circum
stance hitherto found to be unfavor
able should prove favorable to the
party attempting to reach the pole.
If it is to be done at all, it will be
done by way of Franz Josef Land.
It could never have been reached
by the Jean nctte's route. That there
is an open Polar Sea, I am well
nigh certain. This is proved by the
ice drifting out of Mussel Bav and

and necessary of food we could nave

A Stirring Triumph.
From the New Yerk World.
Lo.vnox, England (Siicaal by Ca
ble). In the suit of The Charles A.
Vogeler Co., of Baltimore, Md., U. S.
A., against Parrott & Co., of this city
the Court of Appeal has granted the
plaintiffs a perpetual injunction
with costs. The action, which grew
out of an alleged infringement of
plaintiffs' well-known trade-mark,
St. Jacobs Oil, was originally heard
iu the High Court of Justice, where
Vice-Chancellor Bacon, without go
ing into the merits of the case, con
sidered it was one that should go
before the Comptroller of Trade
Marks. From this opinion the
Charles A. Vogeler Company ap
pealed, claiming that they were be
ing injured by the goods of the de
fendants, entitled St. Davids Oil,
being mistaken for theirs, and that
while they had taken steps to bring
a case before the Comptroller of
Trade-Marks, months would clipse
before a decision could be obtained,
and as their business would be seri
ously injured by such delay, a re
straining order should be granted at
once. The result of the appeal was
that a perpetual injunction was
made, with costs. The proceedings
before the Comptroller have been
abandoned by the defendants, and
the Baltimore house has thus achiev
ed a double victory. By the order
of the Court of Appeal Parrott &
Co.. and their agents, are perpetu
ally restrained from using the term
"St Davids Oil," or any similar
term, as well a the words, "The
Great German Remedy and any
words or marks similar to those
used by the Charles A. Vogeler
Company in connection with their
St Jacobs Oil. The progress of this
suit has been watched with interest
by the mercantile and manufactur
ing community of Great Britian,
where thousands of trade-marks of
almost incalculable value are own
ed. It was shown by the evidence
that plaintiffs had sold during the
past few years over seven million
bottles of St Jacobs Oil, and ex
pended as high as five hundred
thousand dollars iu a single year
for advertising throughout the
world. Their success in this suit is
regarded with great satisfaction in
business circles. Eminent English
and American legal talent figured in
the case. The counsel for The
Charles A. Vogeler Company, of
which latter Mr. II. D. Umstaeter
was personally present, were Queen's
counsel Theodore Aston, assisted by
John Cutler and Theodore Mac
Kefna, of London, Rowland Cox,
of New York, and Gen. William
Henry Browne, of Washington, D.C.

Cariosities of tho Deep.
When the Swedish bark Monarch,
which is now in the Erie basin, New
York, discharging nitre, left Antwerp
for Valparaiso some months ago, her
mate, Mr. George Von Scheele, was
commissioned by the University of
Upsala to collect specimens of Ma
rine animal life during hi3 voyage.
His efforts were to be especially di
rected to the collection of such spec
imens as are found on the surface of
the ocean in various latitudes thro'
which he would be obliged to pass.
Mr. Von Scheele provided himself
with a large number of bottles and
tanks, a quantity of alcohol, and a
simple drag net made of thin cotton
cloth fastened to a galvanized iron
hoop. Every day, when tho speed
of the vessel was not too great, Mr.
Von Scheele lowered the drag from
the lee quarter of the poop deck. "I
put it there," he said, "because the
ship in drifting to leeward would
naturally accumulate . the floating
animals and weeds, and would leave i
them in a line along the lee side of J
the wake."
The voyage out to alparaiso
lasted 101 days, and from that port
to New York 7U days. As a result
of his labor Mr. Von Scheele has
nearly 000 bottles of various sizes,
besides a dozen small iron tanks,
filled with specimens preserved in
alcohol. How many distinct varie
ties there are Mr. Von Scheele does
not know, having no glass for min
ute examinations, but probably
there are several thousand. One of
the specimens likely to attract the
attention of a non-expert in such
matters is a lobster from the Island
of Juan Fernandez. It is very near
ly four feet in length, and in its al
cohol bath has the reddish-yellow
appearance of its northern relatives
when ready for the table. Another
of the specimens will be of special
interest to scientists, because it is en
closed in a delicate film or nest,
about which there has been consid
erable dispute. A ribbon fish, four
or live inches long, was visible when
iu the water only because of its eyes,
which were little black dots, the
body being as transparent as the wa
ter that surrounded it. In the alco
hol it has become a Bhriveled white
tape of a milky color. Another
specimen is a white spider, with a
body two inches long and tentacles
five inches long, that give it much
the appearance of a miniature cuttle
fish.
A large part of the collection is
believed to be new to investigators.
A peculiar looking grub, having legs
shaped like birds' claws, which was
lound in the mouth of a flying fish,
is supposed to be one of the new
Epecies. There are probably also
new varieties of well known species
in the lot.
One interesting feature of the col
lection is the difference in the nature
of the specimen1? collected in the
same locality under different cir
cumstances, the ship having passed
twice over the fame ground, once
during pleasant weather aud once in
a gale. In pleasant weather delicate
little animals, hardly visible to the
naked eye, were found, besides a
number of common shrimps, but
out of the crestn of the waves in the
gale the drag brought nothing but a
chunky little yellow crab, never
more than half an inch long and
usually much shorter. The crabs
clung to the meshes of the drag with
such tenacity that some of them lost
their claws when they were remov
ed. Mr. Von Scheele is a very intelli
gent seaman, aud takes much inter
est in the subject he is studying.
The bark will be loaded with kero
sene for the East Indies after it has
discharged its cargo here, and Mr.
Von Scheele believes he will obtain
many more new specimens out there
than he found in the voyage from
Valparaiso.
Siberian Hospitality.
Even hospitality, that true Sla
vonic virtue, has not become accli
mated in this inhospitable region.
The peasants like t visit and treat
eacii other, especially on high days
and holidays, but this hospitality
is the result of calculation. When
a man is going to visit his neighbor,
he never g3es straight to his house,
but walks along the road, and stops
as if by chance at the window and
begina a conversation ; then, it the
master or mistress wishes to see him.
they invite him in. When the sam
ovar is ready, they drink tea out of
saucers, now and then taking a bite
of a piece of Eugar. In this way
they consume about three cups, and
then turn the cups upside down,
placing on the bottom the remains
of the sugar they have been nibbling
at.
As soon as tea is over, the guet
rises to go, and then the following
dialogue invariably takes place :
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
says the hostess.
"Time to go home," answers the
guest.
"Stay a little longer."
"Thank you ; you have given us
plenty to eat and drink."
"There was but little."
"No; there was quite enough; we
had plenty."
This coversation. which always
takes place, and is almost mechanic
ally repeated, being ended, the guest
approaches the host, and taking his
hands, says:
"I thank you for the vodka, the
tea, the cakes, the sugar," etc.
It is indispensable, when thank
ing the hot, to enumerate every
thing the guest consumed during his
visit At the end of this catalogue
the yisitor humbly begs his host to
come and see him, which, after a
time, he does, und things go on in
exactly the same way. Care must be
taken that the viands provided are
of equal quantity and quality. If at
any time a man eats or drinks more
than his host, when a guest, on a
former occasion did, quarrels, up
braidings, or sarcastic remarks are
the result
"J gave them tea and sugar, and
they gave me nothing but tea " or
"I gave them cake and had nothing
but bread in return."

William R. Guilfoyle, director of
the Botanic Gardens, at Melbourne,
Australia, writes aa. follows to a
friend at Middleton of a charming
sight at Queensland : "I was per
fectly charmed with the beauty of a
series of small lakes which ran for
some miles through a valley. They
were literally covered with water
lilies of three distinct colors pink,
blue, and white. I have often
thought sinco thai these lakes ought
to be known as "the Lakes of the
Red, White, and Blue." I must say
that I never beheld a more beautiful
sight in my life than those water
lilies. The growth of the pink
species (Nelumbium we call it bo
tanfcally) was very singular. The
flowers, nearly as large as a dinner
plate, stood about a foot above the
leaves, standing porasol-like to
shield the floral gems from the
scorching sun.
"Theblue waterplant(Mymphoea)
was less fortunate, though quite as
beautiful as its pink neighbor,
by having its flowers and foliage
lying fiat on the surface, and it was
remarkable that those flowers which
shared the shade of the pink lily's
leafage were of a much brighter
blue. The white variety then came
in to soften still more, or perhaps I
should say to intensity, the brillian
cy of the picture, for, like diamonds,
they glittered among the na phi res
aud rubies."

park for which this town is noted,
given in honor ot Pittsburg, as a
large number of Pittsburg people are
summering at various resorts here;
but instead, the park is filled full of
dry goods and groceries in promis
cuous heaps, and the town is in a
gloomy and almost hopeless condi
tion. Early this morning fire de
stroyed the entire business part of
the town, the Presbyterian church.
Masonic and United Workman's
halls, the principal hotel and forty
six business places, including gen
eral stores, the First National Bunk
and Short Bank. The loss will reach
$200,000, with not much insurance.
The fire originated by an explosion
jn a drug store.
.Very Itemarkablo Recovery. .
Mr. Geo. V. Willing, of Manches
ter. Mich., writes: "My wife has
been almost helpless for five years,
so helpless that she could not turn
over in bed alone. She used two
Bottles of Electric Bitters, and is so
much improved, that she is able
now to do her own work."
Electric Bitters will do all that is
claimed for them. Hundreds of
testimonials attest their great cura
tive powers. Only fifty cents a bot
tle at C. N. Boyd's.
A Sea serpent thai Can Yell.
The captain and the crew of the
Silksworth, now at Montreal, assert
that they saw the sea serpent off the
Gaspe coast on the voyage up. The
monster rose frequently 30 feet out
of the water, and swelled out tre
mendously every time. At the water
line it was about four feet in diame
ter ; its head was like that of a con
ger eel ; mouth like that of a shark ;
body striped like that of a mackerel ;
finssimply immense, and voice a
horrible yell. There is no doubt
that the captain, who is fully cor
roborated by the crew and passen
gers, believes his 6tory, which is reg
ularly entered in the ship's log.
Skeptics can object to nothing ex
cept that the monster was seen at
half a mile distance by moonlight,
which may have exaggerated his
size if not his awful bellow.

As well ns the handsomest, and
others are invited to call on C. N.
Boyd, and get free a trial bottle of
Kemp's Balsam for the throat and

A New York druggist says that

AYER'S
Hair Vigor
restores, with the gloss and freshness r.f
youth, faded or graj hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, .us may be desired.
By its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thiu hair thickened, nnd luldi:es often,
though not alff.iy.", cured.
It checks Tallin;; of the hair, and stimu
lates a weak aud sicMy growth to v.gnr. It
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every d:ase peculiar to the
scalp. As a Ladic' Hair UrcMintr, the
Viooit is unequalled ; it contains neither oil
nor dyo, renders the hair soft, glowy, and
silken iu apiearaiice, and impart a deiicaie,
agreeable, and lasting pert uuic.
Mr. C. P. BitiriiKi: writes from Kirby, O.,
Jntu 3, lw : " Last tall uiy hair commenced
fulihiij out, and in a short time I became
nearly bald. 1 used patt of a Ixutle of
Avf.k's 11 un YlOfiR, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started a new profh. 1
have now a full Iw-adof hair growing vigor
ously, and am convinced that but for the
ne of your preparation I should hate beea
entirely bald!"
J. W. Binrcr, proprietor of the McAvthmr
OAk Kaqnirrr. xavs : " ArKK'a HAIit VlilOR
Is a iiBt excellent preparation for the hair.
1 speak of it from my own experience, lis
vm promote the growth of new hair, and
nukes it gloesy and soft. The Viooit is also
a sure eure for dandruff. Not within my
kno ledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction."
Mr. Asors Fairbairs, lender of the
celebrated " Fairbairu Family " of ScottU'u
Vocalists, write from Jlmtou, Miisa t'rb. ,
1SS0 : Kver since my hair began to give sil
very evidence of the change which fleeting
time proeurell), 1 have used Ayeb's Haiu
Yiunu, ami so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthf illness a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors, and iu fact every oue who lives
iu the eye of the public."
Jin. O. A. Prescott, wrltinff from IS Kim
Sr.. i kiirlrttomi. Matt., April 14. 1K;, says :
1'wo vears a?o about two-thirds of my hair
came olf. It thinned very rapidly, and 1 was
vast growing bald. On uVing Avkr's 11 Air.
Ykmik the falling stopped and a new growth
commenced, ami in about a month my head
wa completely covered with abort hair. It
ha continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. 1 r.-gularly used bnt one bottle
of the Vinos, but now use it occasionally as
a dressing."
Wa have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of Aveb's Hair Vigor. It
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti.
calof its value.
