TO TIIK NORTH POLE.
San Francisco Call, Jnne 8.
Lieut. George W. De Long, U. S. X..
who is in command of the Bennett Arc
tic expedition, arrived at the Palace yes
terday morning. He stated to a repre
sentative of the Call last evening that the
Jeannette was nearly ready for sea, and
he hoped to get away by the 20th of the
present month. He expressed himself as
being somewhat in doubt as to the pas
sage through Behring straits of Prof.
Xordenskjold in the Vega. He hopes
that the cablegrams to that effect are cor
rect, but fears they are not. C'apt. Bar
ker, a resident of this city, who w r as
wrecked on East Cape in the fall of 1875,
and remained among the natives during
the winter, says that in February of each
year the ice moves to the northward
from the shore. Taking this in view,
Lieut. De Long thinks that Nordensjold
may have succeeded in getting out as re
ported. James Gordon Bennett will
probably not come out here prior to the
sailing of the Jeannette. The navy de
partment has not as yet designated any
vessel as a convoy to the expedition, but
it is probable that the Alaska will be se
lected for that purpose. J. C. Morrison,
of New Pork, has brought out most of
the crew, and there now remains but
seven man to be selected for the expedi
tion. The pay for seamen is $25 per
month —for tirpmen S3O per month. The
following named have been already en
rolled and signed the articles for the ex
pedition: Wm. Dunbar, ice pilot, a na
tive of New London, Connecticut; Wal
ter Low, machinist; Herbert Leach, of
Boston, seaman ; August Goertz, of the
North of Germany, seaman; G. W.
Boyd, an American, coal passer; Adolph
Drurien, of Berlin, seaman; Henry Wil
son, ft Swede, seaman; P. E. Pohnson,
a Swede, seaman; Edward Starr, a Ger
man, seaman; John Londerback, a Ger
man, coal passer; L. Menir, an Ameri
can, seaman. The Jeannette is pro
nounced to be in superb condition, and
Lieut. De Long looks forward with
confidence to a successful result to the
expedition.
DEATH OF THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.
London, June 11).—A Reuter dispatch
from Copctown dated June 3 via Madeira,
to-day, states that Prince Louis Napoleon,
prince imperial of France, accompanied
by other officers, left Colonel Woods’
camp to reconnoitre. The party dis
mounted in a mealie field, when the ene
my crept upon them and. killed the
prince with assegais, llis body was re
covered .
Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph
Bonaparte was born in the Tuilleries, on
the 15th of March, 1856, and was there
fore twenty-three years old at the time of
his death. He was educated with great
care, and on the outbreak of the Franco-
German war accompanied his father to.
Metz, and thence to Saarbruek, where,
according to Napoleon’s dispatch to Eu
genie, he received his baptism of fire.
His youth and effeminate appearance
were much ridiculed by the Germans,
who,' in derision, gave him the name of
Lulu. When the military situation be
came critical, the prince was sent to Bel
gium for safety, and subsequently joined
his mother in England. There he en
tered the training school at Woolwich
and made quite an impression his re
markable intellectual gilts and his win
ning manners. He was extremely pop
ular with the English, and when he em
barked for South Africa had quite a
promising future before him. Ilis death
will cause grief in England as in France,
and will demoralize the Bonapartists
who regarded him as the leader and head
of their faction.
The Times' correspondent writing from
Itelezi Hill on the 2d inst, says the body
of the prince imperial was discovered in
a field of long grass. There were no
bullet wounds upon it but seventeen
Wfmiwla moflp liy tin-note. The
body was round stripped and the clothes
had been taken away.
The Telegraph's dispatch from Cape
town June 3 says the news of the death
of the prince imperial cast a gloom over
the city. All Hags were Hying at half
mast.
It is stated that there is a great commo
tion among the mormons over the con
viction and sentence of George Reynolds
for polygamy, and Mr. Cannon, the del
egate from Utah, is doing all he can to
influence Hayes and his cabinet in the
prisoner’s favor and procure his pardon.
It is urged that inasmuch as Reynolds
offered himself as a test case for the pur
pose of thus determining the constitu
tionality of the law of 1802 against poly
gamous marriages in the territories, and
of his own accord furnished all the evi
dence on which the indictment was
found, he ought not to be punished for
voluntarily facilitating the judicial de
cision of a doubtful questioh. Mr. Rey
nolds would hardly have offered himself
as a sacrifice, knowing beforehand that
lie was to be made a victim of the law’s
vengeance. As it is, the St. Louis Pepub
lican says the matter has created an in
tensity of bad feeling that threatens to
complicate the relations of the govern
ment with the territories more seriously
than ever, unless Mr. Hayes should see
lit to interpose his pardoning power.
The fare from Kansas City to Chicago,
about 700 miles, or to St. Louis, about
400 miles, Yvas reduced recently to fifty
cents by the Hannibal and St. Joe and
the Missouri Pacific railroads. Then
the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern
road foilowed suit and the Chicago and
Alton went still lower. By night just
as train time came the price went to five
cents, and as an extra inducement people
buying tickets were given each an order
on a saloon for a glass of beer. To beat
the rest entirely the Chicago and Alton
finally offered free rides.
Anew grievance has cropped out in
England from the abolition of purchase
in the army. Among the officers Avho
fell at Island ula were eight of the twenty
fourth regiment, Yvho.se commissions rep
resented an investment of £13,500. Ob
viously these officers fought and died for
their country under greater disadvan
tages than their post-purchase comrades,
and a movement is afoot to secure to their
widows and children the value of their
commissions which they bought with
their-own money, and Yvhich Avere made
unsalable by no fault of theirs.
“A gentleman,” says Prof. B F. Fan
ning, with becoming severeity, “never
dances Yvith his overcoat on.” And Yve
may add that he hardly ’ever dances
Avith his overshoes on, and the instances,
in the best society, in which a gentleman
has danced through an entire set with
his ulster druYvn closely over his head,
his trousers stuffed in the legs of his india
rubber hunting boots, and an umbrella
held over his head are rare, indeed. So
ciety cannot feel too grateful to the pro
fessor for mentioning this little matter of
etiquette.
The jury in the Hearn-Duel* ease have
brought in a verdict of manslaughter
against Miss Lillie Duer. They either
could not be made to believe that it was
chloral that caused Miss Hearn’s death,
or at any rate they very sensibly con
cluded that if she had not been shot she
would not have died. The chloral theory,
however, induced them to sign a recom
mendation for mercy.

TROUBLE FOR THE COLORED EMI
GRANTS.
The negro emigrants who sailed, last
Saturday, for Liberia, on the bark .Mon
rovia, got to sea just in time to escape
some unpleasant news. A letter, inst re
ceived from an officer on the United
States flag ship Ticonderoga, now in port
at Monrovia, says that the Greboes and
other native tribes on the Liberian coast
have formed an alliance for the purpose
ot driving the American Africans from
the country. They will improve the first
favorable opportunity to begin aggres
sions. The presence of an American
man-of-war at Monrovia, if not the only
preventive, is an important factor in
warding oft such a catastrophe. The Ti
conderago has just returned from a visit
to that part of the coast inhabited by the
Grebo and Tabou tribes, and Commodore
Shufeldt had an interview with their
kings and head men. He pointed out to
them that the American emigrants must
remain where they are, and told them
that they would be protected in their new
homes by the American government.
He told them he had hoped a more friend
ly feeling would grow up between the
aborgines and the emigrants which, as
they were of the same race, would be to
their mutual advantage. It is said that
the existing unfriendly feeling is in. a
great degree the fault of the emigrants
themselves. Going to Africa, as most of
them do, from the southern part of the
United States, they assume the air of su
periority and the tone of authority to
ward the aborigines which they fancy be
coming between the superior and "inte
rior. The Greboes are the most power
ful native tribe in Liberia. They regard
the emigrants as interlopers, aiid deny
the right of the Liberian republic to the
sovereignity of the soil, claiming that the
land never had been and never can be
purchased from their people. —Chicago
Times' New York Special.
Sam. Hill, who was convicted of the
murder of Simmons in the Atlanta supe
rior court, prefaced his statement as fol
lows :
“I arise with a broken heart to speak
of a woman I worship. If I vary one
inch from the truth, may God Almighty
strike me dead in my track where I stand.”
After giving his account of the shooting
he said: “Gentlemen, I loved my wife,
and I love her now. I killed Simmons
because he invaded the sanctity of my
home. I have no excuse to offer. If
this was wrong, hang me. I will die
like a man. It is with you to decide. I
love my wife better than my life. Our
life was one long honeymoon. I do not
ask sympathy, but only justice.
The Frandin farm, in Red River coim
to, thirty-five miles north of Fargo, con
tains 08,000 acres, of which 40,000 are
devoted to wheat culture. The faun has

and an elevator with a capacity of 50,000
bushels. The Dalrymple farm, twenty
miles west of Fargo, embraces a tract of
four miles square, 10,240 acres. Last
year the crop of.wheat was 111,033 bush

The late visit of the Crown Prince of
Sweden and Norway to England, and his
reception by the German empress, is sup

ter, Princess Victoria, of Baden. The
mother of the grand duke of Baden hav

A resident of Galena, Illinois, who has
Deen in constant correspondence with
General Grant during his travels abroad,
has just received a letter from the ex
president, dated at Hong Kong, on the
4th ult The general writes that he will
reach Yokohama in August, and says:
“I expect to remain on the Pacific coast
tor some weeks, and then go to Galena
and stay until cold weather. Where we
will spend the winter we have not de

The Ohio legislature has passed a bill
for the punishment of tramps, which
provides that “any person, not being in
the county in which he usually lives or
has his home, who is found going about
begging and asking subsistence by chari
ty, shall be taken and deemed to be a
tramp.” This act. will be the means of
keeping the poor and improvident of
each county at home, rather than risk an
imprisonment of one to three years, as
the law provides.

Anew insurrection in Cuba is a grati
