THE POLAR SUFJSRER.S.
A Description of the Bre iking up of
the Steamer Jeannette.
Ban Francisco, April 17.—The Call
t)-day publishes a letter from Dr. H.
C. Ledyard, an American now in
Siberia, to a friend in this city. At
Irkobnish ledyard met Lieutenant
Daneuhower, who gave him interest
ing details of the loss of the Jean
nette, from which the following ex
tracts are made:
HELD IN THE JAWS OF DEATH.
Since last fall, when they were
caught by ice in trying to reach
Herald island, they have never taken
a course, but were held as in tne jaws
of death and squeezed till every tim
ber quivered, turned this way and
that, thrown, floating and then
caught again, and every hour was In
suspense, never knowing when the
ice would close upon them a little
more and the d«ck sink beneath
them. Throughout this storm th-y
were well trying to be cheerful work
ing very hard, for the engine and
mon were barely able to keep the
water out. They had to pump for a
year and a half.
THE CRISIS.
June 11,1881, the crisis came. The
ship showed a greater strainin j than
before, the deck quivered and inex
plicable movements warned them.
They prepared their boats and made
their catnp beside the vessel. She
rose and turned in her cradle
till the yards touched tne
ice. Then the rigging gave
way, and the mast lay prostrate. At
4 o’clock io the morning the floe
parted and all went down. A cry of
alarm called all to escape from the
crevice of the ice. It opened just 1
through the Captain’s tent. Then
bog »n a retreat or twenty nine days.
They struggled southward. Three
hundred miles of unbroken Ice were
thus passed over. Four miles a day
was thought good fortune. After one
series of fourteen days they were 27
miles further north than at the first.
SUMMER DAYS WASTED.
While working over the ice, drag
ging the boats, they discovered Ben
nett island, to explore which thev
spent three weeks of their preciom 1
summer days and expended much of
the limited supply of the food. To t his
detour those who survived attributed
much of their suffering and the deato
of their commander, with nineteen
men. After three months of this i>er
iious and exhausting work, they
came to blue water, and then, with
fair winds, took a course for the
mouth of the L’na river. Melville’s
boat was s'ove against a block of ice.
The Captain’s boat lost her mast and
sail. The Captain landed with all
well, but abandoned the boat, as the
water was shallow and would not
make the channel of the river.
London Society Shocked.
London, April 17.—Henry William
George, third marquis of Anglesey,
the present bead of the house of Pa
get, dating back In the peerage of
England to 1550. and long famed for
Its greatness and eccentricity, comes
once more before the public with
having separated from his third wife.
Minnie, the daughter of Hon. J. P.
King, of Sand Hills. Georgia. He
was born December 9, 1821, and sue
ceeded bis father February 6. 1869, to
immense estates in Eug and and
Wales, but terribly mortgaged, ow
ing to the eX'ravHgauce of bis fore- '
runners in ih“ir magnificent displays
in entertaining royalty. He married
on June 8.1845, Sophie, daugmer of
James Everfield, of D-nne Park,
Sussex, who died in 1875, witnout
Issue. His second marriage was wi h
Lady Mary Coke, fourth daughter of
the earl of Leicester, who died in ,
1878 His third and present wife,
whose debts ne has publicly adver
tised that be will not be responsible
for, was married to him in Paris, ,
June 26,1880. She was the widow of
Hon. Henry Wodehouse, formerly ,
secretary of the embassy at Paris,
and only brother of the earl of Kim
berly. During bet sojourn in Parte, ,
the American lady was accepted as ,
the reigning belle, and her followers ,
were legion. After her marriage to ,
the marquis, she removed to London
and kept open house during the re
cognized season. Her expenditures
have been lavish in the extreme, and
the marquis of Anglesey has proba
bly been induced to ask for a separa
tion and shock London society by
his advertisement, in the hope of
saving his estates.
SMALL-POX.
YESTERDAY DEVELOPS ONE CASE AND A
MULTIPLICITY OF GROUNDLESS
RUMORS.
Only onecase of small-pox was de
veloped yesterday, although the
streets were filled with rumors of
cases and reports were circulated
with a reckless disregard of note.
The case which was found was that
of a negro man whose name was
given as Guilford Holmes, and as
Cornelius Combs, and as Lucius
Coombs. He U a musician and is
well known. He was found at bls
home at 17 Calhoun street, where he
occupied a servant’s room. Thecase
was discovered about 9 o clock, and
was well developed. The patient was
sent to the pest bouse, making the
sixth caee now there. There are al
so four cases of varioloid now at the
pest house, one of them being How
ard Horton, a notorious character,
who resisted vaccination and had
to be overpowered and vaccinated
when the first case was discovered
in the Beaver Slide. He is gettlrf
on very well, Yesterday afternoon
the wife and mother of the man |
who was discovered yesterday |
were sent to the quarantine,
quarters. To-day Dr, ha -
than Q, Harris, who wm engaged 1
yesterday by the Board of Health,
i will go out and take charge of the
pest house, remaining there all the
> time. Dr. Martin went out wltb|bim
; yesterday, and showed him what was
[ there.
) Dr. Martin will have charge of the
> examination of case sin the city, and
> will make a diagnosis of everv sup
posed caee that is reported. Yester
day twenty-two supposed cases were
1 reported, but none of them proved to
• be small-pox except the one men
tioned above. One report was of a
1 case on Mt-rriti’s avenue, but the re
port was without any foundation. A
supposed case at 260 Peachtree
proved to be meeiles. A case on
Butler street amounted to nothing.
A case on Fair street may develop in
to small-pox. but it could not be de
termined last night what it was. Hu
mors are flying thick and fast all
over the citv. and are greatly exag
gerated. All the reports are careful
ly looked into, and if the cases prove
to be small-pox they are so reported.

AN APPEAL BY BLACK.
WHAT HE HAS TO SAY OF THE IMPRISON
MENT OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IN
IRELAND.
Special Dispatch to the Constitution.
Baltimore, April 18.—The Grattan
ceuteuniil .-elebration, by the Irish
national land league of Maryland,
took place to-night. Jeremiah 8.
Black, of Pennsylvania, was the ora
tor ot the occasion. In concluding
his speech he said : Thus far I have
spoken of the cause as it stands be
tween the British government and
its Irish subjects. Upon this we can
only assist with our voices in making
up the judgment of the werld. But
recent events have given us more
particular interest in the subject
matter. American citizens have
been kidnapped as basely
as Irish patriots. What will
we do about mat? I know not. Our
own history has not always been a
proui one. Our diplomatic record is
not free from blunder, and the argu
meptum ad homiuem, while it proves
nothing, may embarrass discussion.
But it we submit to this insult we
must acknowledge that England is
the master of Ireland and America
both. If. on the other hand, we call
that lawless power to a proper reck
oning, she will see the necessity not
only of discharging the American
prisoners, but of making full and am
ple repara’ion less a worse thing
■tome upon her. The release of the
Irish will necessarily follow, for Eng
land cannot afford to admit that she
nai yielded to fear what she denies
to justice.”

COLUMBUS, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 21,1882.
The Value of Forests.
It is not strange that in a country
as vast as this, and possessing such
magnificent forests, little attention
should have been paid to the ques
tion of forestry, which is considered
in Europe of the very greatest im
portance. It was but a few years
ago that the first alarm was sounded
over the wanton destruction of tim
ber in the wooded States of the
Northwest. An examination showed
that at the rate at which the timber
was being consumed, it would re
quire but eightyears to exhaust the
supply in Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota, leaving the great West as
treeless as the Eastern States have
alreadytbi come.
This will be a serious injury to the
interests of a country like tbis,
wherein lumber is so extensively
used; but the lack of fuel and lum
ber is not at great au injury as will
follow to the climate from this
wholesale destruction of forests. The
South, fortunately, is well wooded
and will be able, with a little
economy, to supply the country
with lumber for years to come, The
greatest evil resulting from not pay
ing attention to forestry is the bad
effect that the wholesale destruction
of trees has upon the climate of a
country. Innumerable books have
been written on this subject, show
ing that, the cutting down ot fores's
will ultimately r<sult in long and
protracieri drought, followed by sud
den and violent storms, floods, fresh
ets, etc. The wind sweeps over the
country without anything to obstruct
It. The soil, being unprotected by
the trees, rapidly becomes dry; the
streams become shallow and disap
pear, and the climate, in fine, be
comes a succession of drouths and
storms. This has followed tin de
struction of forests in Italy, Spain
andtr.eEist. So great was the in
jury done that nearly all the Euro
pean governments found foiestry
laws necessary. A certain propor
tion of the land is reserved by the
government and maintained in for
ests. Tnese lands are administered
by officers known as foresters, and it
is found that the cutting of the super
fluous timber yields a largo revenue.
France and Germany, wnere
the sysiem is |in most
thorougn working order, possess to
day, notwithstanding tne density of
the population, as large a proportion
wooded land as this country, evenly
distributed, whereas, large sections
of the United States are almost tree
h ss. To this fact is due the increas
ed drouths and tresbets and the grad •
ually deteriorating condition of our
climate.
New York is a fair example. The
expense of the S'nte canals Pas been
doubled by the difficulty in securing
water for them. Twenty-five years
ago the interior streams of that
State were full and larste; to-day
they are sluggish and often dry tor
long periods. The lakes that furnish
ed an ample supply of water have
shriveled up and promise soon to be
come completely exhausted.
Ex-Guv. Alvord has called the at
tention of the Legislature to the
matter with good remits. A bill has
been prepared stating aside the Adi
rondacks as a State park, where the
aboriginal forests are to be main
tained and preserved. It is proposed
to follow this with a general forestry
law which will prevent the unneces
sary distinction of timber.
Such laws ure now in force io Ne
braska, Kansas, Calls rnla and in
one or two other States. They ought
to be adopted by every State in the
Mississippi valley. If the wholesale
destruction of forests continues, we
may eafely count on an increase of
cyclones and storms, and low water
In the river, followed by immense
und destructive freshets and inunda
tions like the present. There la no
necessity for this wanton burning,
barking and destroying trees. Our
forests lands need some protection,
unless we wish the whole country to
become a desolate, treeless waste.

•New Fort HcrM.
There is a power in the British
House of Lords greater than that ot
tne Chancellor on tl e Woolsack,
greater than that of ti o Queen on
the throne. It is the power of the
dinner bell, Punctually at 7 o’clock
it makes itself felt. No matter what
the debate, no matter though Mr.
Gladstone demands urgency for a
bill, at 7 o’clock it perishes in a gen
eral stampede for the door. My
lady waits, and my lord would rather
offend a dozen Mr. Gladstones than
meet the wrath of bis marchioness,
countess, baroness or what not,
Some ot the younger peers object to
this haste. They are ambitious; they
want to shine oratoiioally; they
have prepared little speeches, or, as
often happens, a secretary or a clever
sister has prepared little speeches
for them. Jus', is they get ready for
theii maiden effort the hands of the
clock point to 7 and the House be
comes conscious of the sound of
dinner bells ringing in distant Bel
gravia. The maiden effort dies un
timely, and the orator rushes home
disgusted and gets the secretary or
clever sister aforesaid to indite an
article for the Fortnightly Review,
denouncing the House of Lords as a
collection of fogies.

NEVER FAILS.
l The, only known Specific Remedy for Epl-
SAMARITAN NERVINE
Cure* Epileptic Fits, Spasm*, Convulsion*, St.
Vitus Dance. Vertigo, Hysteric*, Insanity, Apo
plexy, Paralysis, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and
all Nervous Diseases. This infallible remedy
will positively eradicate every species of Ner
vous Derangement, and drive them away from
whence they came, never to return again. It
utterly destroys the germs of disease by neutral
izing the hereditary taint or poison in the system,
and thoroughly eradicates the disease, and ut
terly destroys the cause.
SAMARITAN NERVINE
Cures Female Weakness, General Debilty, Leu
corrhaja or Whites, Painful Menstruation,
Ulceration of the Uterus, Internal Heat, Gravel,
Inflammation of the Bladder, Irritability of the
Bladder. For Wakefulness at night, there is
no better remedy. During the change of life no
Female should be without it. It quiets the Ner
vous System, and gives rest, comfort, and nature's
sweet sleep.
SAMARITAN NERVINE
Cures Alcoholism, Drunkenness and the habit of I
Opium Eating. These degrading habits are by
far the worst evils that have ever befallen suffer- ,
ing humanity. Thousands di* annually from
these noxious drugs. The drunkard drinks
liquor not because he likes it, but for the pleas- '
ure of drinking and treating his friend*, little 1
thinking that he is ou his road to ruiu. Like
the Opium Eater, he first uses the drug in small
quantities as a harmless antMlote. The soothing
influence of the drug take* strong hold upon its
victim, leading him on to bis own destruction.
The habit* of Opium Eating and Liquor Drink- ,
ing are precisely what eating is to alimentive- j
nees, as over-eating first inflames the stomach,
which redouble* its craving* wntll it paralyses •
both the stomach and appetite. 80every drink of
liquor or dose of opium, instead of satisfying,
only adds to it* fierce fire*, until it consumes
the vital force and then it*elf. Like the glutton
ous tspe-worm, it cries “Give, give, give!” but
never enough until it* own rapacity devours
Itself. Samaritan Nervine gives instant relief
In all such case*. It produces sleep, quiets the
nerve*, builds up the nervous system, and re
stores body and mind to a healthy condition.
SAMARITAN NERVINE
Cure* Nervous Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the
Heart, Asthma, Broucnitis, Scrofula. Syphilis, i
diseases of the Kidney* and all diseases of the
Urinary Organ*. Nervous Debility, caused by I
the indiscretion* of youth, permanently cured 1
by the use of this invaluable remedy. To yon t i
young, middle-aged, and old men, who are cover- <
Ing your sufferings as with a mantle by silence, i
look up, yon can be saved by timely efforts, i
and make ornaments to society, and jewels in '
the crown of your Maker, if you will. Do not
keep this a secret longer, until it saps your
vital*, and destroy* both body and soul. If yon
are thns afflicted, take Dr. Richmond’s Samar
itan Nzrvini. It will restore yonr shattered
nerves, arrest premature decay, and impart tone
and energy to the whole System.
SAMARITAN NERVINE 1

further evidence of the curative properties es
Samaritan Nervine will please enclose a 8-cent
postage stamp for a copy of our Illustrated
Journal of Health, giving hundreds of teslimo
nisls of cure from person* who have need the
medicine, and also tbeir pictures photographed
after tbeir restoration to perfect health.
