. . aCHWATKA-S POLAsl EXPEDITION.
The Esnesiltlaa IVi-ter the leaderahlrt; of
aa arrfon ny seareb ror
Belles or Franklin.
Owing to delay caused by bad weath
er and from other causes the schooner
Eothen will not sail to-day, aa expected,
on her expedition in search of the relics
of Franklin Expedition. These relics
are believed to be "cairned" on ah is
land in habit 3d by the NatcliUles, a war
like tribe, larger than the ordinary
Esquimaux, in the Gulf of Boothiu,
not far from Fraiiklin Bay, but not yet
laid down in any chare. The vessel
will Btart, however, on Saturday, br
Monday at the latest, unless the weather
should be fogsry. She will carry 25
men, all told. Captain Thomas F. Bar
ry, whose discovery of the siwons bear
ing Sir John Franklin's crest and some
initials, led to the present expedition,
is in command. Lieutenant Frederick
Schwatka of the Third United States
Calvary is in command of the searching
party, which will work under Captain
Barry 8 instructions. Colonel W. 11.
Gilder, an- officer of volunteers during
the late civil war, is second in command.
The ship's company, as far as accepted
at present, is as follows : Jeremiah
Bumpus, first mate; James Piper, sec
ond mate ; Michael Trainer, . third
mate ; John Kearney, boat-steerer ;
H. Ohmenhauser, cooper ; Charles Buck
ley, a brother-in-law of Csptain Tyson
of Arctic fame, carpenter; Frederick
Woern, blacksmith; Frederick Merntt,
George Westervelt, Rudolph Alberr,
Jeremiah Vf. Doody, Michael Moran,
Andrew Cooper and Jacob Doremus,
seamen. There will be 12 men before
the mast.
THE SEABCHIXO PARTY.
Will consist of Lieutenant Schwatka,
Col. Gilder, Joseph Ebering, Henry
W. Klutschak, an Austrian by birth
and a civil engineer by education, and
Francii Melnis. The Smithsonian In
stitute has asked the privilege of send
ing a representative, who will be equip
ped by the Institution. Jos. kbenng,
or "Esquimau J of," goes as trapper,
hunter and guide. He insists that he
is "buck-hunter," and his comrades per
sist in understanding him "bug-hunter."
"Joe" carries with him a short fire-arm,
constructed by himself of an old Rem
ington pistol, mounted on a stock of
peculiar shape, which be made while
on board the Polarit, and with which
he saved nineteen lives in the trying
time on the ice flow of over 100 days.
The Eothen will first touch at Whale
Point, Hudson's Bay, to take on a num
ber of Esquimaux, increasing the search
ing party to twenty, and thence pro
ceed to Beach Point, Repulse Bay, 1 40
miles north. At Whale Point, Cap
tain Barry first met the" natives from
whom he bought, the spoons. They
gathered about his Winter quarters at
Marble Island, remaining until his ship
sailed in the Spring
TWO OTHER SPOONS.
Bearing the Franklin crest and the ini
tials ,:S. S. S." in their possession, were
purchased by the United States Consul
at St. Johns. The property has since
been restored to the neice of Sir John
Franklin,' who identified them. The
Esquimaux stated that the vessel from
which they got the spoons was crushed
by the ice at an island near Cape Hal
lowell and became a total wreck. The
crew, among whom was Sir John Frank
lin, whom they recognized as "Hilata"
or leader, were taken by the natives to
a ioint near Cap Englefield, 640 miles
from Whale Point, where, one by ouu.
they perished of cold, hunger and sick
ness, and were buried by being sewed
up in skins, placed on the ground and
covered with stones to keep off the
wolves and bears. The Winter was
severe and game scarce, and the super
stitutions natives attributed these mis
fortunes to the anger of the Great
Spirit at the presence of white men.
Captain Barry stated as his belief that
some of the crew were killed and eaten
.by these natives, but that probably
most of them died. An important fact
communicated by the Natchilles was
that the white men left a number of
books with- writing in them, which were
also buried at Englefield, whieh. 13
about 900 miles inland, and has never
yet been reached by an exploring party.
THESE SATITE3.
Are greatly feared by the other tribes
of Esquimaux, lrom whom they differ
in many respects, being .large, . well
proportioned, very warlike and aggres-'
sive, and speaking another language.
"They cannot understand, the, other
tribes," said "Esquimau Joe" yesterday.
He then pointed out on the chart, which
he seemed to know by heart, the situa
tions of various tribes, indicating wh-yh
were connected y similarity of epfech,
and which were strr.ngrs to each other.
The s.im:1uii of ll-o : ml he was not
certain ul, u'x indicated a point in the
northern jart of the Gulf of Boothia-J
Leaving Repulse liay, the searching
party, according to Captain Barry's
plan, will take sledges and go across the
country to Englefield. The journey
will occupy four or five .weeks. The
expedition will cost about 625,080. It
expects to be gone not less than two
years and a half. Store for -eighteen
mondis will be taken on the Eothen,
and more will be sent next Spring, by
the whaling briar Henri) 2'rou-bri'je, in
tllis P0- Tho l,arty s wel1 armed,
and carries ammunition for the entire
thirty months. The stores consist of
canhed meats roa&t lamb beef, etc.,
ly apples ; flour, corn starch, -Indian
meal, coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar, molas
sas, vinegar, and horse-radish as a pre
ventive of scurvy. It is expected that
plenty ef fresh meat can be obtained,
as King William's Land is rich ' in
game, such r as deer, seal, ducks, wild
geese, etc. Contributions of supplies
have been ample, and probably more
j than can b used, but cash contributions
are still not over large. . -.

that I had found them. " I then started
ahead w ith 15 of my scouts and 15
cattle men, making 30 in my company,
as brave men as ever went into battle.
We struck the Indian camp about filtewt
minutes before the troop came up. We
were 30 men against at least 800 Indi

was a brother-in-law of Mrs. S. New

tell her that her husband died lighting

THE nEURO EXODCS.
.The exodus of the first ship-load of
negroes from Charlaton, 8. C. , to Libe
ria marks a carious and interesting
episode in the history cf the black
race of this country, and as the trip of
the Azor is only the prelude of many
more to follow, the 250 persons who
constituted her passengers represent
ing 1,000,000 more who will follow
them if ttrey can get the passage mon
ey, it is worthy of some consideration.
This emigration fever is not of sud
den origiu.'nor is it confined to South
Carolina. The desire to go back to
Africa is aa strong In some of the dis
tricts along the coast as t-ver was the
feeling of the Irish people tn como
over here, and in cvtry part of the
South the colored people, especially
the poor end unemployed, arc casting
longing eyes to the land of promise.
If they had the means, hundreds of
thousands would leaVe as fast as ves
sels could be .obtained to carry them.
At one time Frederick Douglas, their
principal advocate, was In favor of
acquiring Ilaytl to tho extent of Es
tablishing a protectorate over the is

FRIDAY; JULY 19, 18T8.
A FA A K FABLE.
One day a benevolent ithvsici&n who
had read the book), baring found a stray
poodle suffering from a broken leg, con-
eycu tne poor creature to Jus liorue
and after setting and bandaging the
liijuicu man, gave tne lutle outcast its
liberty again, and thought ho more
about the matter. But how great was
ms surprise, upon opening his door one
morning some flays later, to find the
grateful.poodle patiently waiting there,
and in its company another stray dog,
ono of whose legs, by some accident,
had been broken. ' The kind physician
at once relioved tho distressed animal,
nor did he forget to adiaite the inscruta
ble goodness and mercy of Ood, who
had bcefi willing to use so hinnble an
instrument as the poor outcast poodle
for the inculcating of, eta, etc., etc:
" Sequel The next morning the be
nevolent physician found tho to dogs;
beaming with gratitude, waiting at his
door, aud with two other dors criii)les
The cripples were speedily healed; and
the tour went thoir way, leaving the
benevolent phpsician more overcetne by
pious wonder than ever. The day pass
ed, tho morning came. Thereat the door
sat now the four reconstructed dogs and
with them four others requiring recon
struction.. This day also passed, and
another morning came; and sixteen dogs,
eight of them newly crippled, cccuj ied
the sidewalk, and the people were going
around. By noon the broken legs were
all set, but the pious wonder in the
good physician's breast was .beginning
to get mixed with involuntary profani
ty. The sun rose once more, and ex
hibited thirty -two dogs, sixteen of them
with broken legs, occupying the side
walk and half the street; the human
spectators took up the rest of the healed
brutes, and the comments of the on
looking citizens made great and inspir
ing cheer ; but trafic was interrupted in
that street. The good physician hired
a couple of assistant surgeons and got
through his benevolent work before
dark, first takins the precaution to
cancel his church membership, so that
he might express himself with the lati
tude whica the case required. ,
But some tlungs have their limits.
When once more the morning dawned,
and the good physician looked out upon
a massed and far reaching multitude
of clamorous and beseeching dogs, he
said, "I might as well acknowledge it,
I have been fooled by the l. 1s : they
only tell the pretty part of ti c s'orr,
and then stop. Fetch nie the shot-gun.
This thing has gone along for enough."
lie tssued forth with his weapon aud
chanced to ste on the tail of the origi
nal poodle, who promptly, bit him m the
leg. Now the great aild good work
which this noodle had been enesred in
had engendered in him such a mi"hiv
and augmenting enthusiasm os to tian
his weak head and at hist drive hha
mad. A month later, when this benev
olent physician lay in the death throes
of hydrophobia, he called hin weeping
lriends about him, and said :
"Beware of the books. They tell but
half of the story. Whenever a poor
wretch asks you for help, and von feel
in doubt as to what result may flow,
from your "benevolence,, give yourself
the benefit of the doubt and kill the
applicant."
And so saying he turned his face to
the wall and gave up the; ghost.
A PHEt lor PA1E OF Cr.NDBElc.
Anderson confesses that Webber
threw out 700 Democratic majority in
his parish and returned 500 Republican
majority, and that between Webber
and himself threw out 3,300 Democrat-
votes, which saved Louisiana for
Hayes. When he heard that Webber
was murdered he thought it safest to
leave.. The frauds Anderson 'confesses
were done in the interest of the Re
turning Board. Anderson save further
that Webber's protest, on which the
whole vote of West Feliciana was
thrown out by the Returning Board was
not justified by the facts, there being
disturbance only in one locality which
had nothing tp do with politics and
that he (Anderson). signed his name to
a blank sheet of jwper, which was sub
sequently filled in with a sweeping pro
test against the vote of East Feliciana ;
that thU was a fraud, tho election being
entirely peaceful'm this parishj that he
had made up his mind to denounce t!u
fraud, when . tho visiting statesmen
came on the ground; and that Sherman
wrote a letter to Webber and himself,
on the strength of which they went
through their part of the work. An
derson says that tho letter promised
that they should be cared for if they
did their duty; that it can bo proved
that Sherman " understood tho whole
situation as to these two parishes when
he gave the Jetter ; that tho letter was
to operate as a bribe. It is alleged by
a well informed person that the original
letter from Sherman is in a secure posi
tion aud can probably be produced.

The advocates of Chinese labor give
the following grounds why Chinamen
should be retained in this country as
workingmen, and in presenting them
we give our own comments by way of
antithesis: , -
Ho is frugal So is a hog.
He is industrious So is a ilea.
" Ho saves gold So does a miser.
Ho is for temperance So is a dog.
He is useful as a servaut So is fire.
He lives cheap So docs a jail bird.
Ho works for small pay So docs a
horse.
Ho csltivatea vegetables So does
manure.
He makes everything that he can
So docs a thief.
He fctchos no Trife with him Only a
prostitute. ' -
He is discreet in business so is the
swindler. ,
He works more than ten hours a day
So does an ass.
He puts tip in a small spaceSo does
a rat in its hole.
He pays no taxes; renders no mili
tary service; fills the prisons and. hos
pitals; he cannot become a citizen; he
is a barbarian and an eye-sore, and
should, under no circumstances, be tol
erated in a civilized land to rob honest

wages. li. U. O. S.
