Peisry's Proposed Expedition.
Lientenent R. .E. Peery, of the United
States Navy, who has already made a trip
into the interior of Greenland, is about to
start on another expedition to find the
northern extremity ot that country.
Then is no intention of trying to reach
the North Pole, but dimply to explore
she unknown northern coast of Greenland,
and set at resit the queation whether
that country is a continent or an island.
To accomplish this purpose Lieutenant
Peary proposes to start with pledgee and
well•equipped party over the inland
ice from the neighborhood of Smith
Sound, and to travel along the margin of
the ice within eight of the weet coast of
Greenland to its northern limit. • Peary's
past experience will be useful in tide enter-
prise, and the establishment of depots
along the route, well stocked with provi-
sions, will be of material advantage.
Geographers are agreed as to the impor-
tance of completing the map of Greenland,
especially its northern boundary; and post
efforts show that nothing more in this
direction is to be expooted by the Robeson
Channel route. The successful jonrney of
Dr. Nansen across Greenland in 1888 in.
evidence in favor of the feasibility. of using
the inland ice as a means of travel, and the
daring Peary has certeinly a fair proepect
of gnomes.

of From no cause at all, except perhaps the

de all men did- sooner, or later, sad -eyed
re women had told her. She didn't believe '

e She had a brave face when her husband'

w end then he made up hie mind to the awful
e truth -his wife had. deserted him. He
- packed hie best suit of olothes and a few

r almost ran up the stairs, only to find the

• self to sleep that night, and Tuesday went
to the braes foundry. Fred had not been

awful thoughts that crowded into his brein.
But his absence confirnied the bearbbroken
wife's suspicious, and ello. went home and
wrote this letter :
DEAR FRED,—I 800 you took your suit and I
can see all hope is lost with- me. You know I
canot live without your love, so I will end it alli
when I have the courage. I have waited with
your supper for you until I looked in the closeb

good-bye. God bless you and the one you•love.,
I have nothing against you. Good-bye. Your
ever faithful wife,
P. 8 -Don't. think hard of me. At the foot of
Market street is my grave.
Ella pinned this letter to the tablecloth
and then went to Easel street to ory her
eyes out at her mother's knee, as she did
when a little- girl. Bei Fred ' had shut ont
the thoughts of death in the river, and the
pistol and the rope, and he went home
Wednesday, thinking that perhaps his
Ella had come back, and knowing that if
he only ssw her dear face onoe more he
would forgive everything. Then he found
the letter.
- He sought bluenosted Billy and the
policeman told that it would all come •
oat right and to go home and wait for his
wife until she came. T,his cheered Fred a
little and he went to his lonely homeand
waited. But no Ella came.. Yesterday
morning about 9 o'31ook the dark thoughts
bad crowded all the hope and desire for
life out of Fred's brain. He found some
Paris green in a oloeet. Elie wife had
bought it to kill roaches, and he smiled
grimly at tbe recollection as he mixed it in
a cap and dralik it off.
Araenioel poisoning is very painful, and
although Fred lay down on the floor tc die
he was very soon rolling arcund in terrible
psi ie and crying lestily for aid. The neigh-
