Bntler said he did not like the Democratic nominees, but he would take no definite action until he had read the letters of ac­ ceptance of all the candidates. GEN. BUTLEK arrived in Washington last week and had an interview with the President. He refused positively to state what he intended to do politically during the campaign. His friends, however, assert with great positiveness that he will accept the nominations of the Greenbackers and Anti-Monopolists, and make the race for the Presidency. Butler says the statements which have been published concerning his political attitude since the Democratic con­ vention are fabrications of ingenious re­ porters .... The Democrats of Michigan will hold their State convention at Detroit Aug. 19. The Greenback State Convention will convene at Grand Rapids Aug. 27. COL. JOHN A.

It would add to the sanitary safety of the nation. We are constantly threatened with the im­ portation of yellow fever from Havana. If that city were controlled by Americans it is urged that it would be a most healthy city, and the contagion-breeding menace would be removed. IT is reported by way of Jamaica that the Cuban insurgents under Aguero obtained two rather' important victories over the Spanish troops recently.

Seventeen others of the expedition per­ ished from starvation, and one was lost while hunting seals. The corpses of twelve of the party were brought back, the remains of the other five having been swept out to sea by the winds. Greely and his surviving asso­ ciates would have perished in forty-eight hours bnt for the relief expedition. They won the honor of reaching the farthest known point to the northward. Capt. Ash, ice-pilot of the Bear, gives the following particulars of the discovery and rescue of Lieut. Greely and his companions: An officer of the Thetis found a record on one nolnt of land, intimating that Greely and party were all well, and had lelt Fort Conger Aup. n, and. after an auRjriciotiH journey, ar­ rived at Barred Inlet Sept. •£>. The I ecord also Indicated the exact point on Cape Sabine whtro the victorious cxp oring party were encami^d. The steam launch of the B<-ar was im­ mediately dispatched to the indicated local­ ity, which was distant about three miles. In the meantime the Thetis sounded lier whistle, which was heard by Greely in his camp. The unwonted sound awoke the slumbering and fast -sinklntrex plorera. When the launch reached the ice in the vicinity ot the camp a solitary man wax seen descending to the strand with uncertain steps. He had heard the whistle and saw the approaching boat. The crew of the lannch regarded this as an evil omen. As soon as the ice foot was touched I jumped ashore, and accosted the lone stranger: "How are you all?" He answered faintly: "There are seven of us left yet." We were all struck with dismay. Gathering up hastily a little food and stimulants we hast­ ened to the Greely encampment and there be­ held a heart-shattering scene. A gale of wind was blowing. The tent had been shattered and had fallen on the wearied and dying men. We entered and saw a scene of unspeakable misery and desolation. Haggard faces, staring eves gazed at us. One of the six sufferers was pointed to as dying. We at once began to feed them with light food, and dispatched the launch to the Thetis for assistance. Cant. Emro and Dr. Ames came on shore, a fire was kindled, hot milk-punch was prepared, restoratives were applied, and in less than an hour the woebeuonn sufferers were able to stand staggeringly on thetr feet. Ten bodies were un'artlied and two disinterred from the ice foot and brought down to the steam-launch to be transferred to tho •hips. Two oT" the living party were strong enough to be led along on their feet. The other five were borne down on stretchers with tin greatest care. In the midst of a tempestuous sea and a terrible gale of wind the llvinx and dead of the Greely arctic colony were placed on board the Bear and Thetis and conveyed to &t. Johns.

An aimed mob attacked the County Jail, filling the jailor, W. J. Lncas, breaking to the' doors of the oeU-xoom, and taking Richard Mav, a negro, oat and hanging him to a tree in the court house yard. The court house and jail are surrounded by crowds of people, discuBttag the outrage and deploring the loss of a brave eonnty officer, who died at his post of daty. The negro who was hanged was charged with attempting assault on the per­ son of Hiss Kelly, daughter of a former living a few miles above Owensboro, about ten days since. ; The mob had organized on several nights firing the {wit week, bat did not attempt to carry oat their deigns. Last night about ,mid- night, as your correspondent was returning to the city, he was halted by five masked men near the gravel road toll-gate, but suf­ fered to pass without molestation. Many persons in the city were on the lookout for ft Sunday night visit from the mob, and they •were not disappointed. They entered the city about 1:30 o'clock and surrounded the jail. The jailer called to his wife to have his pistols in readiness, and refused to open the doors of the jail. They demanded of him the keys. He replied that "he was an officer of the law and intended to do his duty." They replied "that he would give up the keys and then do his duty." He re­ plied that "he would do his duty or die," and some one in the crowd cried, "D it, die then!" The jdfoer was at this time up stairs on a back poreh on the north side of the jail, and just between the jail and the residence. The mob then began fir­ ing, and the fire was returned by the Sheriff and his son Thomas, a boy aged about 16. They fired thirteen shots, the mob firing, in the opinion of some, as many as 100. Jailer Lucas fired from the porch and his son from the front windows. Two of the mob are reported as killed, eye-witnesses saying that they saw one man fall shot by Tom Lucas, and that he was placed on a horse and quickly carried off. After firing six shots from the porch the jailer was shot, the ball entering his right side, near the nipple. He was carried to his room, still refusing to give up tho keys. His wife took a pisl ol and tried to repel the mob, but they'crowded up the stairs and forced her to give up the cell keys. The outer door was battered down with a sledge hammer. They then took May from his cell and hung him to the only available limb in the Court House yard. It was stated they had ropes prepared for two other victims. The rope was a new one, and the knot a regular hang­ man's knot. The jail premises are badly riddled with bullets. The jailer carried a lantern in his hand and afforded a good tar­ get foT the mob. After hanging their vic­ tim the mob departed, leaving a number of masks about the jail premises. It is stated that among them were a number of negroes and that a portion of them came from Indi­ ana, opposite Owensboro, where the girl's father once lived. May was the third negro hanged in the court house yard by a mob and the fourth victim of the gallows in the county. The outrage of last night is universally con­ demned. Jailer Lucas, in spite of prompt alleviation, (lied at 7 this morning. He was a Virginian, a brave ex-Confederate officer. The report of two of the mob being killed has not been confirmed. One of the mob was heard to say as they left, however, that two of their number had been wounded. The excitement has continued all day and late this evening it was reported that the negroes were organizing to mob Kelly, the father of the girl, for they think he raised the ~_ Increased Ravages of the Seourge in . th©; Cities of France. } Stable dispatch from Paiis gayp:, jfhree cases of cholera occurred Sere yesterday, one of which proved fatal.

[Washington dispatch.] It will be a relief to merchants and busi­ ness men to learn that the printing of green­ backs of small denominations is to be re­ sumed at once, tho appropriation for that purpose now being available. The matter has been turned over to the Bureau of En­ graving and Printing.ljand it is expected that a full supply of $1 bills will be turned out within thir'.y days. If the appropriation is sufficient, the bureau will begin piintii:g $2 bills. Congress, however, set apart ouly a small sum for printing these bil'.s, and there is doubt at the Treasury Department wheth­ er it will be enough to allow the printing of anything but $1 notes. ° Be Is Carried Without Food' or ' Water.

When Boussaud reaohed his ranch about the middle of June he found his cowboys nurs­ ing a young man whom they had rescued from the back of a broncho. When dis­ covered the modem Mazeppa was lasheh to the horse, entirely naked and un­ conscious. The animal was about broken down, as if from long innning, and was easily lassoed by the cowboys, who cut thv thongs and released the strange captive. This happened about two weeks before Boussaua's arrival, and during all that time the stranger had lain in a stupor. A few days before Boussaud left on his return journey to Omaha, having a little medical knowledge, he succeeded in restor­ ing the patient to consciousness, and his recovery was rapid. When able to talk he said his name was Henry Burbank, that ' he was an Englishman, and 34 years of age. About three years ago at Falmouth, Ebgland, he formed a partnership with a friend named Thomas Wilson, some years his senior, and with him came to America, to embark in the cat­ tle business. They cast about for awhile and finally settled in Northwestern Ne­ braska, where the range was unlimited, and herders few and far apart. They built a comfortable ranch by a little stream, where Wilson's young wife reigned as house­ keeper. attended by two or three female do­ mestics. Burbank, who is a handsome young gallant, found it agreeable, while Wilson was absent riding about the range, to make love to the latter's wife. This continued for some months, until in the latter part of May one of the cowboys who had a grievance against Burbank surprised him and Mrs. Wilson in a com­ promising situation, and reported it to the woman's husband, whose jealousy had already been aroused. That night Bur­ bank was captured while asleep in bed by Wilson and three of his men and bound before he had a chance to make any re­ sist aace. After mutilating him Wilson had him stripped of every bit of clothing and bound on the back of a wild broncho, which was started off by a vigorous lashing. Be • fore morning Burbank became unconscious, and was therefore unable to tell anything about his terrible trip. He thinks (hit the outrage was committed on the night of May 27, and he was rescued on the morning of June 3, which would make seven days that he had been txuveling about the plains on the horse's back, without food or drink, and exposed to the sun and wind. Wilson's ranch is about 200 miles from the spot where Burbank was found, but it is hardly probable that the broncho took a direct coarse, and, therefore, must have covered many more miles in his wild jour­ ney. When fully restored to health Bur­ bank proposes to make a visit of retaliation on Wilson, and in this he will be backed by Boussaud's men and those of the Ogallala Land and Cattle Company, whose range is near Boussaud's. THE DEADLY STEAM BOILER. Three Men Killed by a Boiler £xpk>- and Four Othen Mef- . m§ tally Injured. [Bloomington (Ind.) dispatch.] , A terrible boiler explosion oc^urt&d near "flftirtuflgbtirg, HMtVonnty, causing the in­ stant death of three persons, and perhaps fatally injuring four others, Tho shock could be heard for miles. Soon af­ ter the noise neighbors began gathering from every direction. When they reached the pines a fearful spectacle presented itself. For yards about heavy timbers were thrown, and pieces of the boiler were scattered for hundreds of feet. It seems that a new in­ spirator had recently been placed on the engine, which would not work, and it ex­ ploded while experimenting. Wesley Carter, head engineer, was in­ stantly killed. When found he was lying under a pile of rubbish. He had been thrown over thirty feet. His head had been almost blown from his body, and both arms were broken. He was a single man. Near him lay his son, dead, his breast terribly lacerated, the skull broken, and one leg almost blown off. He died in­ stantly. The most pitiful sight of all was old Billy Graves, who had only a few minutes before come over to the mill. He was standing near the boiler watching Carter's experiment when the explosion occurred. He lay fifty feet away, his head almost torn from his body, his legs broken, and Eieces of the metal had pierced through his reast. When found he was alive, but soon died. He was one of the best citizens of the neighborhood. Billy Graves, his son, an employe of the mill, was also badly injured aboat the shoulder. His head was bruised terribly, and it is feared he cannot reoover. John Heed, another employe, was injured in the same way, though not seriously. He was thrown in the air twenty feet while working at the saws. A Mr. Collins, a stranger employed in the mill only a few days, was injuiod so that he ©an hardly recover.

Seventeen of twenty- five persona compoeing tbe expedition perished by starvation at ttie point where found. One was drowned while sealing to procure food.

Greely abandoned Fort Conger Ana. 9,1883, and reached Baird Inlet Sept. 29 following, with the entire party welL He abandoned all his boats, aud was adritt thirty days on an Ice floe in Smith s Sound. His permanent camp was established Oct. 21. 1883, at the point where he waa found. During nine months his party had to live uj>on a scant allowance of food brought from Kort Conger; that cached at Payer Harbor and Caps Isabella by Sir George Mares In 1875 but found much damaged by lapse of time; that cached by Bee be at Cape Babine in 1882; and a small amount saved from the wreck of the Proteus in 1883 and landed by Lieuts. Garllugton and Colwe 11 on the beach near where Greely's party was fonnd. When these provis­ ions -were consumed tha party was forced to live upon boiled seal-skin stripped from the seal­ skin clothing, and liohens and shrimps procured in good weather, when they were strong enough to make exertions. As it took 1,300 shrimps to fill a gallon measure, the labor was too exhaust­ ing to depend upon them to sustain life entirely. The channel between Cape Sabine and Littleton Island did not >icse on account of violent gales all winter, so that 240 rations at the latter point could not be reached. From Hare island to Smith's Sound I had a constant and furious struggle with the toe in Impassable floes. Solid barriers were overcome by watchfulness and patience. No opportunity to advance a mile escaped me, and for several hundred miles the ships were forced to ram their wav from lead to lead through ice varying in thickness from three ti nix feet, and when rafted much greater. The Thetis and the Bear reached Cape York Jnne 18, after a passage of twenty-one days in Melvllte Bay, with two ad­ vance ships of the Dundee whaling fleet, and continued on to Cape Sabine. Returning seven days later, we fell in with seven others of this fleet off wostenbolm Island and announced Gre 'ly's rescue to them that they might not be delayed from their fishing grounds nor be tempted into the dangers of Bmith'8 Sound In view of the reward of $25,000 offered by Con­ gress. Returning across Melville Bay, we fell in with the Alert and Lock Garry off Devil's Thumb, struggling through the heavy ice. Commander Coffin did admirably to get along so tar with the transport so early in the season before the opening had occurred. JJf * lou- ory, with the Bear, has suppor* "V ibe through­ out with great akillfnlnc-^ and unflinching readiness in accomplishing the great duty of re­ lieving Greely. The Greely party are very much improved alnce the rescue, but their situation was critical in the extreme when found and for several days after. Forty-eight hours' delay in reaching them would have been fatal to all who are now living. The season in the north Is late, and has been the closest for years. Smith's Sound was not open when I left Cape Sablna The winter about 'Melville Bay waa the most severe lor twenty years. W. s. SCHLEY, Commander. The Greely party reached the highest lati­ tude ever attained by polar explorers, name­ ly, 83deg. 25.5 min. The coast of Green­ land was carried up to 83 deg. 35 min. Interviews with Lieut. Greely and other survivors of the unfortunate arctic colony elicited the following facts: After passing two winters at Fort Conger in scientific research, Lieut. Greely, with his whole party intact, broke up the encampment and commenced a southward descent. This was accomplished amid great perils from gales Of wind, lce-alps, and other casualties. Cape Sabine having been reached, a temporary home was built of stones and covered by the boat's sails brought along by the party. On the 29th of September winter quarters were established at Cape Sabine. The commissariat bad become very meager, and the cache of provisions left by tho Proteus lasc year but io"rly supplemented it. The steam launch had become fast in the ice a few weeks previous and had to be aban­ doned during the whole winter. The first havoo in the ranks was early in January, when one of the men dropped off with scurvy. On the 9th of April Lieut. Lockwood and Mr. Rice, the photographer, succumbed after a heroic at­ tempt had been made to secure about two hun­ dred pounds of meat supposed to be cached at a place named Bad Creek, distant about fifteen miles from the encampment. Israel, the astronomer, perished May 27. Lieut. Kisllngbury died June 1, and Dr. Pavy, the naturalist, slept in oeath June 2G. Not one of the victims realized that death was near. Thev all died a tranquil, painless death. The two Esquimaux also perished, one of starvation. The other was drowned, his kayak being pierced by some newly formed Ice April 17, thus cutting off ail hope of getting any supply of seal meat for the starving explorers. The Esquimaux were most faithtul and devoted followers and helpers of Lieut. Greely. Ellison was rescued and safely brought on board the steamship Bear, where he died a few days subsequently. His is an extraordinary in­ stance of human endurance. While away some ten miles from his hut one day last winter the tempera ure suddenly fell to 48 degrees below zero. His bands and feet were frozen to the vary bone, and he was dragged by his comrades in an almost dying condition to his hut. His feet and bands were literally amputated by the incisive frost, and in this terrible state he lived through the dismal months that intervened be­ tween that time and the rescue. A dispatch from St John's says: "The bodies of twelve of the victims have been brought up by the steamers Bear and Thetis, embalmed in tanks filled with alcohol. The survivors are all doing well and are rapidly gaining flesh and strength. Lieut. Greely, who was in.an exceedingly critical condi­ tion when transferred to the Thetis, is now able to move about. This morning he drove out for an hour's ride to get the coun­ try air, and came back quite refresed. 4 The rescue took place on the 22d of June, under circumstances of great difficulty. The Thetis and Bear lay off from the shore about 303 yards. There was a terrifio gale blowing from the southwest, a heavy sea was running, and m formidable ice nip was apparently inevitable. Lieut. Greely and the other six survivors had tp be trans- ferred from their camp to a steam launch and a whaleboat in their sleeping begs, and while steaming from land to the ships the destruction of the whole party at one time seemed certain. The sea swept furiously over them, and the fury of the wind threat­ ened to capsize them. At length they were safely placed on board the rescuing squad­ ron, where every possible preparation was made to insure their recovery and comfort." A Washington dispatch states that Presi­ dent Arthur, in conversation with some friends, said he was very much gratified at the finding of Lieut. Greely and the rem­ nant of his patty. He added: This is the last of arctic expeditions as far as I dm prevent rhem. None of them has ever paid for the extreme suffering and loss ot valu­ able lives they have occasioned, and I think it is about that come other nation try them for awhile . President Arthur, in previous conversa­ tions, has characterized the whole business as a species of "arctic insanity." There is general recognition of the fact that some one is responsible for the de«ith of the members of the Greely expedition who died from oold and hunger, ana a gen­ eral expectation prevails that a court of in­ quiry will be ordered when the Secretary of War returns, to place this responsibility where it belongs.

"I mean did he live is this eotettu- nity when he died?" "No, he waa dead." The driver was very careful in seleefr- in8 the amooth places, and the follow­ ers were all so solemn, that the mar-- shal would have gone oA, had there nol been a difficulty in passing the wagon. After awhile he said: "I suppose your friend was a good man." "Best in the neighborhood," replied, the gentleman who carried the hymn- book. "Best man I over saw.

"Noah." "Then he had a wife when he died ?"' "Noah, fur when he died she was a widdy." The deputy, finding a place where he could pass the wagon, rode on, and not until he had gone some distance did the peculiarity of the affair strike him. with full force. His acquaintance with squatter life caused him at first to give the eccentric funeral but little thought,, but after a while his eyes seemed to be opened. Turning aside into the thick woods, h£ decided to wait and wateh the course of the wagon. After awhile the vehicle came along, and, just after passing hi in. turned into a narrow road! almost overgrown with weeds and bushes. Dismounting and tying his bridle rein to a sapling, the deputy marshal cautiously followed the wagon. The funeral procession descended intc- a creek bottom, crossed the stream, entered a skirt of timber and stopped. A number of men, working in a clear­ ing, came forward with unusual brisk­ ness and gathered around the coffin, which was taken from the wagon and placed on a stump. The cups flashed iu the sunlight, and as the deputy mar­ shal now o- vwiing on the grouud, drew Dear, he saw the men dip their cups in­ to tbe coffin. The old funeral was that of easy solution. A ooffin tilled with whisky had been brought from an illicit distillery to make convivial the work of clearing land, and it seemed that every man in that oommunity had been invited. The officer knew that his life would be endangered should he be discovered skulking around, and recognizing the difficulty of crawling awav unseen--for it was only by the merest accident that he had remained so long unobserved- -he decided to walk boldly up and tuke his chances, for he knew that the ciowd there were men- who were not illicit distillers, and who. should violence be meditated, would at­ tempt to prevent such an outbreak. When within a few yards of the coffin, some one clapped on the lid, while others began to sing a doleful air. A grave had been dug, and they were in the act of lowering the box, when the deputy marshal said : "Hold on, boys. Put the corpse ou the stump again. I am an Arkansas man myself, and law or no law, hanged if I don't help *you enjoy yourself. Here's fun," and they all drank. The odd funeral was not reported at eonrt. --Ark. Traveler. v ?" A Surfeit of Words. The task of preparing a new diction­ ary of the English language is, per­ haps, about as grave, intricate and la borious as man could undertake. Ot all tongues, ours is the most inexact and scattering to l>egin with. It we* largely borrowed in the first instance from foreign sources; and we have been adding to it from the vocabularies of other nations for centuries. More than this, we alone of all the people on the earth have a common habit of coining new words and giving old words . new meanings to suit our whims or tc emphasize a particular fact or object. By such meaus, our lexicon is made to undergo continual change, and to be. as it were, in on unceasing hide-and- seek with itself. The words and ex­ pressions in general use 200 years age are many of them absurdities and vul­ garities now; even the prevailing En­ glish speech of the last century is not at all of to-day; and it would not be too much to say, probably, that every person who lives to exceed forty veart must find it necessary to alter his "En­ glish as she is spoke" in a very consid­ erable degree from the style in which it was taught to liim at the start, if he would make sure of being understood and of escaping correction and deris­ ion.--St. Louis GIol#-Democrat.
