A few more such ex- might have a wholesome effect on tho of the fature, NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1873.—TKIPLE SHEET. “Very Weak; but, Please God, Will Weather It Al.” This simple, comprebensive and sublime expression of faith in a merciful Providence is from John Herron, who went out from New York on the Polaris as steward of the ship, and who at Washington, the other day, gave in his testimony as one of the witnesses of the misfortunes of that ill-starred expedition. In his examination, as his evidence in reference to the adventures of Oaptain Tyson and his party on their ice floe, he submitted his diary of that wonderful cruise, the material portions of which we publish to-day, only regretting that we have not space for the whole of it. In perusing this diary the reader cannot fail to be deeply interested in the plain, unvarnished and thrilling story, and particularly in the terrible trials which call up from the believing heart of John Herron such a strength-giving assurance as this—‘‘Very weak ; but, please God, we will weather it all.”’ And they did weather it all, those heroic nineteen souls, whites and Esquimaux, men, women and children, “the bravest of the brave,"’ including the brave little baby, whose adventures from its birth in those regions of eternal ice and snow reduce to feeble fictions the baptism of Achilles and the infantile prowess of Hercules. And how tame and commonplace appear the adventures of Telem- achus, tho exploits of Sindbad the Sailor, the difficulties of Columbus in an unknown ocean, the story of the ‘Ancient Mariner,”’ the com- fortable solitudé of Robinson Crusoe and the mild sufferings of Enoch Arden on his tropi- cal island—how tame they appear compared with the trials, perils and sufferings of this six months’ cruise of Captain Tyson and his heroic band, drifting down through the broken ice and massive icebergs of Baffin Bay, and through all the cold and storms and darkness of an Arctic Winter, fre- quently threatened with starvation, and from day to day in danger of being dispersed and engulfed by the angry waves! John Herron’s diary of this most wonderful cruise and timely rescue, in short, dwarfs all the stories of reality and romance hitherto recorded of mar- yellous adventures and escapes from the perils of the sca, whether under the burning sun of the equator or among the dismal ice packs beyond the Arctic Circle. On the 15th of October last, expecting the ship to go down every minute, the crew, after the women and children had been brought out, were engaged in discharging the pro- visions, &c,, upon an ice floe to which the ship was made fast, and next they were bringing off the boats. While yet engaged in these preparations for abandoning the ship a largo iceberg came drifting down, and, striking the floe, shivered it to pieces, freed the ship, and, in the gathering darkness, it was out of We sight in five minutes. Thé nineteen souls adrift on different pieces of ice, were, however, soon reunited on the main floe, but most of their pro- visions were lost or adrift, Six days after- wards some valuable supplies were recovered 3 and in reference to this stroke of good for- tune Herron says, ‘We returned to head- quarters weak, but thankful to God, and had a good supper.” On the 3d of November they gave up the hope of working to the land. They were hopelessly adrift and must go where wind and wave would carrythem. Yet, with their memories of home, they did not forget its holiday festivals. Soon Thanks- giving Day they had an extra dinner, includ- ing mock turtle soup, and on Christmas they had ‘quite a feast.” The alternations from abundance to short rations and from fasting to good feeding were frequent on the voyage. The Esquimaux, Joe and Hans, were, in all their straits, the food providers of the party. It was well that they were supplied with warm sealskin clothing ; that they had their boats for emergencies of danger ; that they had cooking utensils ; that their ice floe was large enough to admit of the building thereon of several comfortable snow houses ; that they had some good rifles and plenty of ammunition saved in good order, but it was particularly fortunate for the party that they had with them those experienced Esquimanx hunters, Joe and Hans, as their “bread winners.” The steward naturally delights in their achievements, for in every emergency of famine Joe or Hans or both of them came in with their seals, dovekins, oogjook or a bear to prove they were equal to the crisis. Thus speaks John Herron on these occasions: —‘‘Hans brought in a seal to- day. Thank God, for we were very weak. God sent that seal to save us. Thanks to His holy name. It has been so all the time. Just as we were played out something came along.” Again, ‘Joe shot an oogjook, plenty of meat and oil. Good Sunday’s work drag- ging the fine fellow to the hut and thanking God for all His mercies.’ Again, April 22, when the party were nearly starved, Joe and Hans secured the prize of a bear. Says John Herron, gushing over with rapture:—‘‘Along came Bruin, thinking he was coming to a meal instead of furnishing one. Click, bang! went two rifles, and down went Bruin, to save @ lot of starvingmen. The Lord be praised.” On considering the invaluable services of their Esquimaux companions to the whites on this long and perilous drifting cruise, we heartily concur in honest John Herron’s opin- ion of Joe and Hannah and Hans, that “if we ever get out of this difficulty they can never be paid too much.”’ The government should give them each a handsome pension, and the children likewise. We are inclined to regard the many fortunate escapes of Captain Tyson and his party and their final rescue as they were drifting out into the broad Atlantic Ocean, on a mere cake of ice rapidly melting away, as due to that special intervention of Providence which takes note of the fall even of asparrow. Wecan appreciate the simple, earnest and constant faith of John Herron and his overflowing gratitude when he says: — “God sent that seal. It has beon so all tho time.” This is the sublime moral of Herron’s diary. It is that faith which brought the living water from the rock in the wilderness; that faith which St. Paul defines ag “the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen’’—that faith which can remove moun- tains, But, in many other respects, the facts and events narrated and testified to by John Herron are of great value, He shows that the Polaris was well adapted and well equipped for her Polar expedition, but that in steam power sho was deficient; that the probabilities, from her strength, are in favor of the safety of the ship; that on leaving Polaris Bay, homeward bound, she was, perhaps, heavily laden to fight her way through those ico packs ; that with the discharge of the stock of provisions put out on the ice on the 15th of October she was sufficiently lightened to reach at least a safe anchorage; that a large stock of provisions still remained in the ship for the subsistence of the fourteen men left on board, and that though Captain Bud- dington had been occasionally intoxicated he was perfectly sober and diligently active for the preservation of his ship's crew on that memorable 15th of October. Among other important facts established by Herron’s journal of his involuntary voyage down Baffin Bay is the fact that a party of nineteen souls, adrift on an ice floe in that stormy sea, by two good and faithful Esqui- maux hunters, well armed and supplied with ammunition, can all be subsisted through the three months’ darkness of an Arctic Win- ter, and through a six months’ cruise at tho mercy of icebergs, snowstorms, winds and waves. On December 20 Herron makes this memorandum:—‘“To-morrow will be our choicest day; then the sun returns (meaning that, having reached his farthest point south of the Equator, he will turn again to the north- ward), and in three weeks we will have day- light.’’ Again, on learning, January 7, from Mr, Meyer that they had drifted down to north latitude 72.07, Herron writes: —‘‘News so good treated myself to an extra pipe of tobacco at twelve o'clock last night’’ They were longing for the sun—they had not seen him for months. For a brief space, at high noon in New York, he had given them each clear day a relieving twilight, but the inter- posing bulk of the globe had cut off even a glimpse of his glorious face. In view of this difficulty of prevailing darkness, only now and then relieved by the aurora borealis, we feel that we cannot too strongly approve the har- mony, endurance and heroism of Captain Tyson and his party, or tho skill and fidelity of Joe and Hans, as hunters, in kéeping them all alive. We, therefore, heartily commend the gallant Captain and his party, each and all, to’some special and substantial recognition of their services by the government, Lewis. Tappan. The famous anti-slavery agitator, Lewis Tappan, has ended his mortal career. He died at the advanced age of eighty-five, at his residence in Brooklyn, on Saturday last. Looking at the great work he was largely in- strumental in accomplishing—the abolition of slavery—he might well have said on his death- bed, as Simeon of old said, ‘Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation.” Bowed down with years, after an intensely active lite, Lewis Tappan did live to see the salvation he worked and prayed for and had faith in. Yes, he saw not only the four millions of blacks in tho South emancipated from slavery, but raised also toa position of political equality, or even of political supremacy in some cases, that he hardly dreamed would be realized. We can well imagine the sweet gratification this man of venerable years must have felt as life began to close when contemplating the stupendous revolution that had been effected. Mr. Tappan was a reformer by nature and education, a genuine philanthropist and an earnest worker in whatever .he undertook, and hence he labored indefatigably for other reforms as well as for the freedom of the negroes. In him was fully developed the type of restless- ness, energy and aggressiveness of the New England character. Such a man will always be heard and make a powerful impression when agitating political or social reforms. Nearly all the men who commenced and car- ried through successfully the anti-slavery crusade were from New England, and most prominent among them was the deceased. He was a leader in the free church movement, the American Missionary Association, the tem- perance cause, andin other: movements for the elevation and progress of the human race. Knowing well the power of the press, he be- came a journalist, for the. purpose of promot- ing his views as well as froma natural dis- position to be engaged ina busy and active life. Though his mind was narrowed some- what by a Puritanical spirit and education his philanthropy and comprehensive reform views overshadowed that defect. He was especially the friend of the blacks, and will long be remembered as one of the first to de- mand their freedom—yes, even when it was odious to do so, Hardly any name will be more prominent in history than his in connec- tion with the abolition of slavery. Consider- ing his great age andthe many years he was engaged in advocating measures for the ameli- oration and improvement of his fellow men, he may justly be called the patriarch of re- formers, Tne Mexican Conarrss.—The session of the Mexican Congress was closed, as the readers of the Hznatp have been already in- formed by telegraph, on the 31st of May. President Lerdo’s speech to the national rep- resentatives on the occasion, with the reply of the Parliamentary President, reached us in eatenso by mail last night. The interchange of opinion and profession of sentiment was harmonious, and, on both sides, patriotic and conservative. The President complimented the army on its ‘bravery and loyalty,’’ and assured the Republic of continued and zealous effort on his part for the sustainment of the ‘prosperity of the nation.” The legislative body reciprocated the pledges of His Exoel- lency in words of happy expression. The Claims Treaty Commission renewal with the United States was referred to as 4 measure which “fosters the hope that right and reason shall predominate in the world, and that can- non and bayonets shall no longer hold judg- ment over the differences which arise among nations,” Telegraphs and railroads are to be encouraged and extended, and the crime of kidnapping punished. The question of the Church is not directly touched. Brrrisn Honor to Tae Suau.—His Majesty the Shah of Persia reviewed a British fleet, comprising all the vessels of the Channel squadron, off Portsmouth, yesterday. The display was exceedingly fine and the naval muster and inspection were conducted with great éclat, in the presence of very many thousands of people. Many princes, of Great Britain and from Russia, accompa- nied the Persian potentate, who must have received a very impressive idea of the power of the flag which has “braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze,”” The Shah too | has specially forwarded, through Minister Schenck, a message of compliment to the American people and President Grant. Prepare for the Season of Pestilence. When the Dog Star rages and the air be- comes heavy and oppressive the dread shadow of pestilence hangs over the land. Great cities, where a long Winter has left its legacy of filth and disease-breeding miasma, look to their Boards of Health at this time with par- ticular interest. This city, the metropolis of America, is especially interested in the sani- tary line, Street cleaning has been for some years one of those peculiar institutions that, like the phrase lucus 2 non lucendo, means the very opposite from what one would be led to imagine. It has been, in fact, an elaborate and labored system of keeping the city as dirty as possible. Immense sums of money have been expended and numerous self-sacrificing citizens have been selected to solve the vexa- tious problem, whether it is possible to keep New York clean; but the result has generally proved the same—unmitigated filth, Our Summers have been, lately, fruitful of disease, and certainly in a great city like New York the very suspicion of a pestilence should be sufficient to awake the authorities to imme- diate action on this all-important subject of health. We cannot speak too often on this subject, There are rumors, which even non- alarmists cannot afford to despise, of pesti- lence and epidemic in this country. Whether the terrible destroyer, cholera,.is the agent so actively at work in the Southwest, or whether some local disease swells the bills of mortality there, the Health authorities in this city should display more zeal in their duty or show some more tangible results on the score of cleanli- | ness, The Police Department is responsible for the condition of the streets, and that condi- tion is lamentable in the extreme. The plague spots are fast multiplying; an invita- tion is, as it were, held out for the arch-de- stroyer to reap an abundant harvest on Man- hattan Island, and yet we are blandly in- formed that the sanitary condition of the city is excellent. Large districts in this city con- tain permanent swamps and stagnant pools which offend the olfactory organs and which are rarely disturbed by the scavenger. It is late, but not yet too late, for that great anti- dote to pestilence—precaution. The subject is too serious for even the euthorities to ne- glect, for they are as liable as the denizens of the tenement house to fall victims to the destroyer. Thero is no greater crime against the well-being of the community than indifference or procrastination on the part of those to whom that well-being is entrusted, and we hold, as do the entire public, the Police and Health authorities toa strict accounta- bility should they neglect to place the city in & proper state of defence against pestilence. The New Departure (No. 2) Ohio Democracy. The new departure of the Ohio democracy, called the ‘Allen county platform,” is being responded to very generally by democrats in other parts of the State. The new idea is to throw overboard all old party traditions, old fogy leaders, old crumbling landmarks, all sorts of old party incubii, and come out with a young, fresh and vigorous democracy, with new men, new principles, new beacon lights, for leaders and guides. In referring to this movement the Dayton Herald—formerly Val- landigham’s organ and supposed to represent the Vallandigham democracy of Montgomery county—referring to the destiny which, it alleges, the party in power is driving on re- publican institutions, and that there is not a moment to be lost in averting the danger be- fore us, pertinently remarks that ‘men of both parties are, to a certain extent, responsi- ble for this alarming state of things, Political parties of every sort heed purification. The only way to accomplish this is for the honest, unselfish, patriotic men of all parties to unite on ® common basis and labor for this grand result. The present state of the political atmosphere gives cheering promise that the people are going to do this. The demonstration at Lima is one of these indications. More of the same character will follow, if we do not greatly mis- take the mind and the temper of the people.” The Hznaxp sees in the great movement of the farmers of the West another indication, and a most formidable one, in the same direc- tion, ‘In that movement alone, if inspired by right influences and prudent counsels," continues the organ of the Vallandigham dem- ocracy, ‘separate and distinct from all parti- san control and dictation, may be hailed a power for good that will be irresistible and overwhelming.”” This indicates the course those who followed the fortunes of the great apostle of the first new departure of the Ohio democracy are inclined to take in the present emergency, with what results remains to be seen. It looks now as if the opposition were organizing for the campaign of 1876 on the old “Anything-to-beat-Grant” principle, to be followed, from present appearances, by a simi- lar want of success, By Sprzctat CorresponpENce From Cuna we have an extended, spirited and very in- teresting report of the progress of affairsin the Antilles island to the latest moment of date by mail. The fighting, particularly in the Man- zanillo district, was of a very fierce and stubborn character, quite a number of Span- ish soldiers having been slain in battle, and many, very many, Cubans having again at- tested the sincerity of their patriotism by the sacrifice of their lives, Thero was still a vast deal of Oaptain-Generalship, of official se- crecy, of the prison fortress régime, and of political reports of representative fusion with Spain in the Madrid Cortes. But, notwith- standing all this, the red spots of the great local struggle were ropeated almost daily. of the Tovemme rae Proorrsstve Srmrr or Joun- Natism in this country, the St. Louis Democrat justly remarks that “the Congressman of to- day is not half os great a man in the eyes of his constituents a6 his predecessor of twenty years ago was ; and it is not because ho knows less than his predecessor knew, but because his constituents of to-day know so much more, through the newspapers, than the constituents of twenty years ago.’’ The Democrat might have added that while Congressmen are be- coming less and less objects of public esteem and confidence, from their notorious jobs and corrupt practices, the respectable newspaper press is continually rising higher and higher in the scale of popular regard and practical tegreta his inability to Visit America, but | influence, und Regency. Again we have it reported that Emperor William is ill. ‘This time the report comes to us in minute and circumstantial form. The Emperor, it is said, is incapacitated for fur- ther public duty, and arrangements are being made for the proclamation of a Regency under the Crown Prince, Frederick William. It is Possible, of course, that the report has but little foundation in fact. Still, Emperor Wil- liam is an old man ; he has seen his seventy- sixth birthday, and it would not be at all won- derful if he were now overtaken by the infirmities incident to old age. A Regency would not be a novelty in Berlin, for Emperor William himself during the illness of his brother ruled as Regent of Prussia from 1858 to 1861. In England a Regency is associated with painful memories and with scynes which not even the enemies of that country care to see reproduced. In Berlin it is different. With the Regency of William began that policy which has made Germany a unitand rendered Prussia the mistress of Germany. Of the Crown Prince no fears need be entertained. Self-controlled, resolute and in hearty sympa- thy with the policy which has made for him so grand a position, his advent to power will be followed by no radical change in the government of the Empire.

The agent further reports that Pickett, who killed an Indian woman last September, has been con- victed and sentenced to be hung at Boise City on the 25tn of July, He remarks that this is the first instance where & white man has been brought to justice for the murder of an Indian in this Territory, The New Perces are remarkably quiet, notwithstanding former reports of their hostile intentions. A copy ofaletter written by Indian Agent Haworth to Indian Superintendent Hoag at Lawrence, Kan., has been received at the Interior Department, The letter is dated Kiowa and Comanche Agency, Indian Territory, June 12, and states that on the day previous a train came in from Texas, bringing the Comanche women and children who had'been held as prisoners of war, from Fort Concho, Agent Haworth says lie at once sent word to the Comanche camps anda large number of Indians came in to welcome their friends. A coun- » cil with the principal Comanches followed in which the latter expressed their gratification at the re- lease of their kindred and gave renewed assurances of luture good behavior, Agent Haworth again sug- gests that the government should keep its faith by releasing Satanta and Big Tree.
