Washington, July 17.?The following telegram was received this morning from Commander Schley: St. John's, X. F., 9 a. m., July 17. ?Hon. W. E. Chandler, Secretary of the Navy: The Thetis, Bear and Lock Garry arrived here to-day from West ftroonbi.mL all well. Senarated from I the Alyt 150 miles north daring a gale. At 6 p. m., Jane 22d, five miles off Cape Sabine, in Smith's Sound, the . Thetis and Bear rescued alive Lieut. A. W.- Greely, Sergeant Brainard, Sergeant Fredericks, Sergeant Long, Hospital Steward Beederback, Private Connell and Sergeant Ellison, the only survivors of the Lady Franklin Bay expedition. Sergeant Ellison had lost both his hands and feet by frost-bite ara mea>j>uiy o, at t*ou xiaven, niree dr>vs after the amputation, which had become imperative. Seventeen of the twenty-five composing this expedition perished by starvation at the point where found. One was drowned v, hile sealing to procure food. Twelve bodies of the dead were rescued and are now on board the Thetis and Bear. One Esquimaux (Turnivik) was buried at Disco, in accordance with the desire of the Inspector of Western Greenland. Fire bodies buried in tiie ice fort near the camp were swept to sea by the winds and currents before my arrival and could not be recovered. The names of the dead recovered, with the date of death, are as follows: Sergeant Cross, January 1st, 1884; Medcrick (Esquimaux). April oth,; Sergeant Linu, April 6th; Lieutenant Lock wood, April 9th; Sergeant Jewel, April 12th;' Private Ellis, May 19th5 Sergeant Ralston, May 23rd; Private Wbistter, May 24th; Sergeant Israel, May 27th; Lieutenant; Kislingbnrv, June 1st; Private Henry, June, (?tfi; Private Schneider, June 18th.

I would urgently suggest tbai.tbe bodies now on board be placed. in metallic cases-here, for safer and trone-rwrtatiAft" in SPft WftTS. ?- ? This appears to me imperative." Commander Greely abandoned Fort Conger August 9, l"SS3, and readied .Baird Inlet September 29 following, witb the entire party well. He abandoned all his boats and was adrift for thirty: days, on an ice fioe in Smith's Sound. His permanent camp was established October 21, 1SS3, at the point' wliere he was found. During. nine months his partv had to live upon the scahtv allowance of food brought from fort Fort Conger?that cached at Payer,:Barber and Cape Isabella by Sir Geoi"ge Nares in 1875, bntfonnd much damaged by lapse of time; that s cached by Beebee at Cape Sabine in 1882, and" a small amount saved from the wreck of the Proteus in 1SS3 and landed by Lieutenants Garlington and * *-1 m xi? i u oorweu OM tut; ueuua wueic uriceiv 5 party was found camped. "When these provisions were consumed the party was forced to live upon boiled sealskin strips from their sealskin clothing, lichens, and, shrimps preserved in good weather; when they were strong enough to make the exertion. As 1,300 shrimps were required o fill a gallon measure the labor was too exhausting:-, to depend upon them to sustain life entirely. The channel bet-tTTCvfirv (Torus- RoKinn. anrl T.iH-lffrtn Island did not close on account of violent gales all the winter, eo that 240 rations at the latter ppint could not be reached. AH of Greelvs records and all instruments brough" oy him from Fort Conger are recovered "and are on . board. From Hare Island to Smith's SoundI had a constant- and fbrious struggle with ice in impassable floes. Solid barriers of ice were overcome by watch f&lness-and patience. .No opportunity ta advance a mile escaped me, and for several hundred miles the ships were forced to ram their way from lead to lead through ice varying in thickness from three to six feet, and when rafted much greater. The Thetis and Bear reached Cape Irick June 18, after a passage of 21 days in Melviile Bay, with'two advance ships of the Dundee Wealing:fleet, and continued to Cape Sabine.-.: Returning seven days later, we fell in with seven others of this fleet off Wostenholme Island, and an nooced Greely's rescue to them, that they might not be delayed from their fishing grounds nor be tempted into the dangers of Smith's Sound in view of the reward of $25,000 offered by x"'" Congress. Returning across Melyilie B3V, we fell in with the Alert and Lock <*arry off Devil's Thumb, struggling through heavy ice. Commander Coffin did admirably to get along so far with the transport so early in the season before an opening had occurred. Lieut. Emory with the Bear has snppurteu uie uiruuguuui. >vjtu sk.llIfalness and unflinching readiness In accomplishing the great duly of relieving Greely. I would ask instruction about the Lock Garry, as the charter party held by her master differs in several respects from mine. The Greely party are very much improved since their rescue, bnt were critical in the extreme when found and for several days alter. Forty-eighthorn's delav in reaching them would ^ haxe fatal to all now living. The seasou North is.late and closest for years. Smith's Sound was not open when I. left Captain Sabine. The winter about Melville Bay was the most severe for twenty years. This great result is enilreiy.dae to the unwearied energy of yourself and the Secretary of War xn fitting out this expedition for the! work it has had the honor to accoin- j plish. (Signed) w. S.

We finally j landed September 26th in Baird Inlet, j Learning' by scouting parties of the ; Proteus disaster that 110 provisions j had been ieft for us from Cape Isabella to Sabine, we moved and established winter quarters at Camp Clay, half way between Sabine end Cocked Hat. Inventory showed that by a daily ration of four and one-third ounces of meat, seven ounces of bread I and dog biscuits and four ounces of ! miscellaneous, the party would have I had ten days' full rations left for crossi ing Smith's Sound to Littleton Island March 1st. Unfortunately, Smith's Sound remained open the entire winter, rendering a crossing impracticaj ble. Game failed, despite daily huntj ing from early February. Before the [ sun returned only five hundred pounds f of meat was obtained. This year minute shrimps, sea weed, sassafras, rock ! i lichens and sealskin were resorted to ! for food with the results as shown by I the number of survivors. The last i / .. .1 nr i t .. regular xouii wasissuuuiuav i-?. vnn loO pounds of meat was left by Garlington. This compelled me to send off four men to obtain 144 pounds of English meat at Isabella. During: the ; trip Ellison froze solid both hands and feet and 1 jt them all, surviving, however, through our terrible winter and spring until July 8th. The survivors I owe their lives to the indomitable energy of Captain Schley and Lieutenant j Emory, who, precceded by thj-ee and j accompanied by five whalers, forced i their vessels from L pernavik through Melville Bay into the north water at Cape York." With the foremost whaler they gained a yard whenever possible, and always held it. Smith's i Sound was crossed and our party resj cued during one of the most violent I gales I have ever known. The boats were handled onlv at the imminent risk of swamping. Four of us were unable to walk, and could not have survived exceeding twenty-four hours. Every care an<J attention has been given us. -We saved and brought- back copies of meteorological, tidal, astronomical, magnetic, pendulum and other observations; also pendulum, Yale and standard thermometers.

Philadelphia, July 17.?The Medical Inezes of next Saturday will say: "The progress of the cholera during (he past week has been such as to war rant the belief that it will spread throughout Europe during the next thirty clays, and may reach our shore at any time. Its progress can only be arrested by the most watchful care on the part of our quarantine officers, for this disease has already reached our shores by ships. Scrupulous cleanliliness on board the. ships, isolation of all suspicions cases, the absolute destruction of the fomites of those infected, and spec*'-1 care;that the water sup ply is not contaminated (boiling; it before use if there is any suspicion of its being impure) would add greatly to KAAlfMnACC f\t UTllll/i OUWlUill^ libUlUUUWOP vi n uuv municipal cleanliness persistently and systematically carried ont would leave no nidus for the disease to gain a foothold, even shonld it reach oar shores." Colonel Vilas. =. Colonel W. F. Vilas, of Madison, Wisconsin, who was made permanent chairman of the Democratic Convention, first came into a national reputation for Oratory by the speech he delivered in November, 1879, at the banquet of the army of the Tennessee, funeral Grant had iust completed his voyage round the world and was making that extraordinary progress across the continent eastward from San Fran-, cisco which cansed the invention of the word "boom"' as applied to Presidential candidates. His reception at Chicago was such as has never before or since been accorded to any man in that city, and the grand climax of the occasion was the banquet in the Palmer House where the veterans met their old commander. The speechss at the soldiers' meeting were not in any direct way political, and so Democrats took a hand with Republicans. On that occasion several meu were heard from who are somewhat promir???nf ?? ? affairs : fJen eral Sherman, as president of the evening-, made the opening remarks, which were followed bv an entertaining talk from General Grant. Then came. Gen-< eral Logan, who was recognized as. a-, chief ih the Grant movement in Illinois; General Hurlbut, who afterward died while minister to Peru; Colonel Vilas, who responded tothe toast "Our FirstfCommander, General U. S. Grant; Leonard Sweet of Chicago, General Pope, Colonel Ingersoll, Mark Twain and several others. Even in snch brilliant company it was considered by those present that Colonel Vilas?probably at that time unknown pvpn hv name to nine-tenths of the audience?made the happiest speech of the night.?Detriot Tribune;^ The Butler Boom. Pittsburg, July 19.?Hon. Thomas A. Armstrong, editor of the Labor Tribune, in an interview to-day said that a movement was on foot amonothe leaders of the Anti-Monopolist and Greenback parties to inaugurates a boom for Bolter, which they predict will-result in the organization of a tffew |: party which will be~composed of Anti-* Monopolists, Greeubackcrs and dissatisfied Democrats and Republicans. The exact mode of procedure has not yet been: determined. One plan was to have a committee of representative, men organized to call a national convention" by means of a circular letter, ! and another to have General Bntfcr, after Cleveland's letter of acceptance I has been published, to write a letter to I the people of the country, whieh will in itself call a convention. The headquarters of the movement are in Chicago and-the leaders are confident j of its success. ' A Fatal Fire. Toledo, O., July 19.?The ice house [ of tbe Uuckeye tfrewmg uo., una t). j W.

It. is hoped that the meeting will be fully attended.

When looked at from a com- ( mon-sense point of view, the compara- = lively small- uumber of names on our s roll is a matter of wouderfal surprise. 1 "We are an agricultui-al people. Oar t agricultural statistics show that we e. have in the State 392,000 people en- * gaged in all classes of occupations. Of J these 294,000 are engaged in agricul- ' i -\ir? no mirt fonmo.

Would it be unreasonable to a expect one. out; of every ten of the 46, 000 fanners who live upon and culti- T vate thei r. o.w n farm s to be members of the State Society? And should not * each and every one of them belong to 8 some county agricultural organization ? 1 Our roll lias the names of 2G0 odd J members. Is.this not a meagre show- iug?

The I attendance at our State Fair meetings, " as: for as numbers is concerned, is all that one most sanguine friends could 1 wish, and vet at-Snch a time of crowd 1 atid rush it-is impossible to discuss j mauv questions of vital interest and * Importance to the farmers at large. The State Society should be of such number aud influence as to be able to discuss and settle definitely such issues as are of unquestionable "use and importance to its business interest and calling. Don't do as we have done for years?pass resolutions that the lien law must be repealed and then return home and vote for men we know will vote'just the other way. I simply . mention this as an example, but I really and truly hope never to hear this subject mentioned in the Society again, where-it has been so thoroughly worn threadbare. But. there is the eaueatimni! nnosrion. now so.mnoh acritafrvl I that could be ventilated, as well as 1 many others of equal, or less importance, which, after a" free discussion by representative men from all parts ,, of the State, would enable a decision to be reached as the one raosfc suitable to all sections and all.classes, and one which would, have much weight in j shaping the future termination of 1 these events. ] The farmer has no war to wage, no j fight -tor raake.iigaiDst.any person or { crass: :i ltas 'trae that frort! time imme- ' morial he has entertained aii idea that * he was in some mysterious way oppres- J ed by every being devoured by all * kinds of corporations and monopolies j j U it\/\ ^ U ifi V? s\ Unci % * /\ /vitnn^AN n r? rt J UUC tutt ituiii iSj lie iiua iiugicaici enc- .. my than himself.

The agriculture of all Europe 1 is one of the leading witnesses of the c fact. A volume mi^ht be filled with ^ the progress of agricultural art and 1 science here at home during the present c century, and that, too, under the stim- a ulation of these very organizations. r South Carolina makes about 15 bushels 1 of grain to each inhabitant. She has ? six county agricultural societies, with J a -very limited membership. Illinois t mnlrps -fthrvnf. hnchplc rvf orvain tn ' each inhabitant and she has 99 county * agricultural societies, orie of which has 1,57%meinbersapd several others more than a thousand. The history of these societies is that. they have been the c chief-exponent in introducing all the 1 improved seeds and implements. Far- * ther comparisons are needles. Com- 1 petition, union, associations and com- c hination, the principles so universally 1 acknowledged and effectively used by' * all otherclasses,-canard should be used 1 with equal: efficiency by the farmer. ' In conclusion allo'w. me to say that * it would seem that our farmers would * regard with feelings of becoming pride * their State society. It is part of the t history of the.State and of the couu-,( try. -Genu: Will fcekv in. his article on 1 the "History of American Agricul- 8 ture,r tells uV"On the 24th of August, ? X785, the Society for the Promotion of i Agricuiure, was founded in Charles- e ton, South Carolina, and was incorpo- 1 rated December 19tb, 1785. The cb- 13 jecta of this society, as announced in c the Act of incorporation,, were to pro- * mote the interests of agriculture, to 15 institute a farm for experiments, to t import and circulate foreign articles e that are suitable to the climate of Car- t olina, and to direct the attention of * agriculturists of.the State to useful 1 objects. This was the beginning of F the present State Agricultural Society 1 of South Carolina, which still holds a that old charter. So far as I have v learned this was the first real agricul- E tural society fonnded in this country. The records of tho Society were lost during the late war, and "its history, so far as I know, has never been writ- c ten." Thus we see that the South ^ Carolina Agricultural Society will celebrate its one hundredth birthday next ? year. I shall propose at the Green- ? ville meeting that our next summer *! v.? u?l.1 /->..! i ii.. t lUKUUJig ue iium at, Vyuiumuiu, uii iuu , 24th August, 1SS.% iii our new Fair ^ building, which will then be complete in all its parts, and that wc mate it a P grand centennial celebration of the ? farming interest of the whole State, and we especially invite delegations 11 from the four other agricultural societies that were organized during the closing years of the eighteenth century. "The Philadelphia Society for the Pro- j motion of Agriculture" was instituted v the same year as the South Carolina ^ KnHptr. "Thn "Wvtc Yorlc Snnptp fnr o the Promotion, of AgricnUaral Arts I j and Manaf&ctapes," was formally or- j j gauized Felsrnary 27tb, 1761. ^Thc! t Sfasacbusett Society, for Promoting | v Agriculture" was incorjx> rated in i ti 1892. These societies are all reported ! -1 o be still in existence and doing good vork. The conn try wants and needs more lear-headed, thoughtful, well-posted, :ver-ready men in its agricultural incrcsts, in order that the chief occnpaion of our people may be made in the . lighest degree remunerative and thrivng. The first step in this direction is or the farmers to come to Greenvllje >n the 29th instant and join the State md Agricultural and Mechanical So)iety. D. P. Duncan, President. WHAT TAMMANY WILL DO. Yaiting to Hear from the County Democracy Before Taking Action. New York, July 14.?Tammany's >raves still refuse to talk officially, and- , he only thing- most of them will say is I hat they are gx>ingr to remain quiet for i feu* weeks and find out what the : vorkin-men of New York think of , Governor Cleveland.

If the i Jounty Democracy will concede to < famniany Hall the mayoralty the probibilities are that it will fall in line-for ' Cleveland.

It was not long before the Jaw firm intimated to the student that be was "a brainy young man," and they soon felt justified in fixing: a liberal salary, which they foond him abundantly able to earn.

It Sells well, gives our customers entire satisfaction, and we cheerfully recommend it in preference to any other Blood Puri her." Dr. T.
