A PATH LEADS ALL THE WAY.
I sit before my door at ove
' And looking westward softly say,
Should I these garden precincts leave
And cross the meadows sweet with dew.
And climb the hills so deeply blue,
And follow still the setting day?
Still other gardens I should find
And other meadows dewy sweet
And still the summer roads would wind,
And still the patient earth would lendThough
I a thousand miles should wend?
Herself unto my patient foet
The rivors hido 'neath many a bridge,
The better pleased they greet the day;
There's guidance o'er the roughest ridge;
Aye, though 'tis thousand miles or more
To where she sits within her door,
luero js u pain leaus tin wo v> aj>.
Oh, blessed land of tho dear earth,
Betwixt us still, though wide we stray,
Thou seem'st to lesson thy groat girth
In dusk an:l stilness for ray feot;
Thy futile hinting yet i> sweet;
There is a path lead3ali tho way!
And at its ond she sits the same,
With even face serenely bright,
With lips that sweetly speak my name;
While through her look and smile there plays
Suggestion still of holy ways,
That conquer parting, change and night.

BETSEY mm.
"Yes," said Betsey Bliven, "I'm a
Maine girl, and I calculate that I can
earn my own living if anybody can."
Miss Bliven was tali, erect and composed.
She had seen the world, and she
wasn't afraid of it.
"But to think of a Bliven going out
*s a hired girl!'' said Mrs. Midget, a
feeble, pink-cyed little women with
chronic catarrh and dejected sniffle, who
had been bom Matilda Bliven and attached
superstitious respect to the name.
"What's the odds?" said Betsey.
"I've got my living to cam, aud I mean
to earn it. Now you, "Tilda,' with a
compassionate glance at the pink-eyed
aristocrat, you're made to work without
any wages. Just for the satisfaction of
being called Mrs!"
And Betsey picked up her bag, shouldered
her umbrella and stalked out to
meet the stage, whose rumbling wheels j
were beginning to sound upon the road I
like distant thunder. * .
Miss Bliven had visited a Boston in-1
telligencc bureau, and there they had oh-1
tained for her the address of a house in i
the northern part of the State when a i
reliable girl was wanted in the capacuy I
of table waitress and chambermaid.
"Wasres?" demanded Betsey.
"Fourteen dollars," replied the gentlemanly
man who stood smiling behind
the desk.
"Privileges?" questioned the young
woman.
'"A wholeday to yourself eveiy month
and every other Sunday afternoon," replied
the m&D.
"Any other girls kept?" asked Miss
BliTen.
"Four," said the man complacently.
"Humph!"commented Betsey. Family
large?"
"Well?rather," admitted the man.
And the situation is very lonely, and
so?"
"I don't care anything about that,"
interrupted Betsey. "I'd as soon keep
house for a hermit, or go on a desert
island. "I'm not very young, and I've
no followers. Let me see?Grand trunk
railroad to Black Gorge, stage coach to ;
JiieaK ?1.111?yps, 1 ve got me uuccuuim i
all written down."
And Betsey paid her fee, took her j
card and creaked out of the room in a
pair of brand new calfskin boot9.
Miss Bliven traveled comfortably. Sho
carried her lunch in a splint basket, jyid
ate comfortably ob the road; she beguiled
the lagging hours with a newspaper, and j
was not very tired when at last the con-1
ductor flung open the door and yelled '
out "Black Gorge," at the top of a :
stentorian pair of lungs.
And Miss Betsey found herself stand-1
ing on the platform, surrounded by dark
pine woods.
"V. here's the stage?" she exclaimed.
"Lady for Bleak Hall?" demanded an I
insinuating voice closc to her ear.
And the next minute she found herself
lifted politely into a c'ose, dark
wagon, with leather-cushioned seats.
"Where are the others?" asked tho ]
driver.
"What others?" said Miss Bliven.
"Two gentlemen who were with you."
"There were none," said Miss Bliven.
"I came alone."
"Alone," said tho driver, glancing uneasily
around. "All the way from
AJI/O iwu ;
"Yes. all the way from Boston!" said
Miss Betsey, a little impatiently. ""Why
shouldn't I?" You don't suppose I
needed keepers, do you?"
"Oh, no, ma'am; ccrtainlv not,"
promptly responded the man, as he
climbed into hi3 9eat and took the
reins.
He drove circumspectly, a'ong a
lonely road. Miss Bliven observed, up
to the very door of a great dark stone
house, hedged about with funeral-looking
spruce and cedars, as Betsy could
discern jn the star-sprinkled darkness,
and a narrow door was opened.
"I've brought her," said the driver to
a respectable-looking man in black,
whom Betsey at once concluded to be
the butler, "all alone."
"Alone! bless my soul!" cried the
man. "I hope you didn't, have any
trouble?"
"None in the least," said the driver.
"She's as quiet as a lamt>:"
"Well, I never," said Miss Bliven.
"Do they take me for a raging lioness,
I wonder.
In an instant her arm was drawn
through that of the respectable man in
black, and she was conducted along a
dark, stone-paved passage, lighted only
by a swinging lamp which hung above
their heads.
"Very polite they are here,I must say,"
thought Miss Betsey to herself.
But the idea was scarcely formed in
her mind when she found herself pushed,
gently, but suddenly, into a small, stonepaved
room with circular walls, windows
high above her reach, and the scantiest
allowance of iurniture that she had ever
seen in her life. And. to her amazement,
the polite butler was accosting her
through a grated doorway, as if she were
a wild criminal.
"Eh!" said Betsey, "what'sthis? Let
me out, will you?"
"Quiet, ma'am, quiet. There's a
dear!" said the respectable personage.
"You will have some supper directly if
only you will compose yourself.'*
"But I want to get out," said Betsey,
-.? rattlinsr at the door.
"Quiet, quiet, qui-et!" shouted the
man "riftn't r>MV X f?5 tfi VOllrSftl f !"
-t ?
"What on earth is the meaning of
this?"' said the bewildered woman from
Maine.
"Now, pray be calm," said the butler.
"Quiet?quiet, that's the way."
"But I won't be quiet!" said Miss
Betsey. "I'll tear the walls down. I'll
shout for help. What have I done to
be shut up like a prisoner or a madwoman?"
"Gently, gentiy, urged the respectable
man in black. "Jonas, I'm afraid
you'll have to bring the straight jacket!"
"The?straight jacket?" Miss Blivcn
dropped down on the little stone bench
WQC c^pmroH nirninsf thfi wall, as if
a bullet had struck her. Was it possible
that they believed her to be mad?
"Stop!" said she, trying to calm the
wild, inccssant beatings of her heart.
"Don't put qn that thing. I will be
quiet."
"There's a dear soul'" said the man in
caressing accents, as if he were reasoning
uith a fractious Infant. "It's a
great deal the most sensible thing you
can do."
"But there's some mistake here,"
pleaded poor Betsey, on whose brow, in
spite of the cbiliness of the night, great
drops of perspiration had broken out.
"I'm not mad."
"No, no," said the man. "Of course
not. You shall have some tea directly
and a slice of dry toast, and?"
"Bronson," called out a clear, distinct
voice, "vou're wanted! Where are you?
What are you doing?"
"I'm with the new patient, sir," answered
<he respectable man. She's
quieting down very faat, and?"
"What's the man talking about?" in- ; J
tcrrupted the voice, shrill, sharper and
more distinct still. "The new patient ( j
has just come by special conveyance from ;
Warrentown."
"Then who is this?'.' gasped the re- ; i
spectable man, hi3 lower jaw falling like |
that of a fi6h.
"I'm Betsey Bliven," said our heroine, i
"Let me out, I say! Betsey Bliven, i n
from Maine. I'm the new waitress and b
chambermaid at $14 a month, and they've li
taken me for a madwoman." j r<
"Hush?hush?sh! For heaven's j v
sake!" whispered the respectable man in a
black, as he made haste to unlock the t
door. "Nobody is mad here?they're 1 g
only peculiar. I'm sure ma'am, I beg si
< SV.11. nor.lnn Rllf Wl> IVPfP PYn^ntin"' I i<
Mrs. Lamarque, from Portland, and you e
correspond almost exactly with the dc- a
scription, and we didn't know that the . p
new waitress would be here until to-mor- v
row. And Mr. Lamarque is subject to I 1:
dangerous turns, and- -and I hope, v
ma'am, you won't mention this to the I
superintendent." d
"No," said Betsey, with a grim ' p
chuckle; she was beginning to sec the ci
humor of the thing now. "So this is a si
?madhouse, eliif" : "5:
"It's a private sanitary rcfreat," said ! w
the respectable man. Very sclcct and ci
exclusive. I'll introduce you to the tl
housekeeper at oncc, ma'am, if you'll lc
step this way. You'll find her a most s:
ladylike person, ma'am." h
"She ain't mad, is she?'' asked Betsey. . cl
"Not at all," said the man rather ; 13
shortly. j qi
j "Ah," said Betsey. "I didn't know n:
I but that everybody in this establishment tl
j was a little cracked in tlie upper story. Mr
You must be or you would have uever j tc
; taken mc for one of yourselves."
To which taunc the respectable man ti
I had no answer prepared on the spur of w
; the moment. j gi
J Three months afterward Miss Betsey ! hi
i Bliven wrote to her cousin, Mrs. Mid- ai
j get: : bi
"I'm in a mad house, Matilda, my le
' dear," she expressed herself, "and pi
| really, except for the name, I find ti
! everything very nice and comfortable.*; ai
We're very select, and on the whole I ; pi
find society here a good deal politer it
and more ceremonious than it is outside j ^
the walls. And I suppose you'll say ti
that I am as mad as the ladies and gen- I M
tleraen that I wait on, when I tell you 1 at
that I'm engaged to be married to Mr. j b(
Babcock, the head keeper. But I'm j w
getting rather partial to insane people ' Si
and really I see my way clear to doing fli
some good in the world" if I conclude to ai
stay here permanently." b^
So Miss Biiven found the place a lifelong
benefice, and when Mrs. Midget j H<
was asked by thecousinhood, "what luid j in
become of Betsey," 6hc was wont to d<
answer in a nasal whine: i al
"Poor dear! she's gone into a lunatic- lij
?3ylum and she's married to the head p(
keeper and I don't know but what it is rh
as bad as being crazy one's self. But si'
Betsey seems to like it. Betsey always m
was peculiar." di
The llomance of It
V]
The story of General Grant's life savors C?
more of romance than reality; it is more j cc
like a fablu of ancient davs than the his- !
tory of an American citizen of the nineteenth
century. As light and shade pro- 0,
duce the most attractive effects in a
picture, so the contrasts in the career of ! rQ
the lamented general, the strange vici3- ^
situdes of his eventful life, surround him
with an interest which attaches to few gt
characters In history. _(
His rise from the obscure lieutenant to
the commander of the veteran armies of
the great republic; his transition from a ^
frontier post of the untrodden West to ! Jj.
the executive mausion of the nation; his !
sitting at one time in a little store in I a
Galena, not even kuown to the Congress- |
man from his district; at another time !
striding through the palaces of the old | l;
world with the descendants of a line of i j
kings rising and standing uncovered in j av
his presence; his humble birth in an Ohio :
town scarcely kuown to the geographer; | ^
his distressing illness and courageous j ^
death in the bosom of the nation he had ev
saved?these are the features of his
marvelous career which appeal to the ?c
imagination, excite men's wonder, and i
fasciuate the minds of all who make a
u:? ui/> ! Pl
OIUUJ Ui liiO IJUU.
Many of ibe motives which actuated j
him aD(l the real sources of strength em- '
ployed in the putting forth of his singular
powers will never be fully under* ge
stood, for added to a habit of communing
much with himself was a modesty j jj
which always seemed to make him shrink w,
from speaking of a mutter so personal to j
him as an analysis of his own mental !
| powers, and those who knew him best
sometimes understood him the least. His i
most intimate associates often had to
judge the man by the results accom- ge
plished, without comprehending the ^
causes which produced them. Even to j *
the writer of this article, after having ^
served with the general for nine years ^
continuously, both in the Held and the i r
I presidential mansion, he will in some re|
spects always remain an euigma. His ^
memoirs, written on his deathbed, to be
published only after his decease, furnish
the first instance of his consent to un- 1
bosom himself to the world. In his in- , ,tj
tercourse he did not study to be reticent '
about himself; he seemed rather to be {L
unconscious of self. While visiting St.
Louis with him while he was President, wj
he made a characteristic remark showing je
how little his thoughts dwelt upon those j '
events of his life which made such a '
deep impression upon others. vj
Upon his arrival a horse and buggy
were ordered, and a drive taken to his j
farm, about eight mi'.es distant. He
stopped on the high ground overlooking i aT
the city, and stood for a time by the ^
side of the little log house which he had ! ^
built partly with his own hands in the ; jg
days of his poverty and early struggles, j u
Upon being asked whether the events of
j the past fifteen years of his life did not j j^j
I seem to him like a tale of the "Arabian !
Nights," especially in coming from the '
White House to visit the little farmhouse j ?
of early days, he simply replied, "Well, j n]
I never thought about it in that light." j jr

"Second Wind." p,
Every one who has run a mile kno\v9 ' in
what it is to gain a "second wind," : hi
though he may not be able to explain "]
why one minute he is out of breath, and
then feels as if he could run several miles. ! fr
A writer in Longman's Magazine gives I pr
this clear explanation of the fact: j th
The reader may not be aware that in th
ordinary breathing we use only a portion | N".
of our lungs, the cells at the extremity j lei
not being brought into play. I fa
This is the reason why those who are I m
not "in training," and who try to run for j
any distance, soon begin to gasp, and j la
unless thev are courageous enough to j re
persevere in spito of the choking sensa- ! pe
tion, are forced to stop. But if they will ; la
persevere, the choking goes off, and the at
result is what is technically known as hi
"sccond wind." When the second wind H
is fully established the runner does not la
become out of breath, but goes on running
as long as his legs will carry him. m
I know this by experience, having been p<
accustomed for some years to run three ss
miles every morning over a very hilly hi
road. The fact is, that on starting, the
furthest portions of the lungs arc choked le
with air, and the remainder do not supply ! w
air enough to meet the increased circula- j
tion caused by exercise. I YY
By degrees, however, the neglected w
cells ccme into play, and when the en- YY
tire lung is in working order the circula- P
tion and respiration again balance each 30
other, and the "second wind" is the re- w
suit. j b;
* Now let the reader repeat his experi- j b<
mcnt of holding his breath against time, !
but first let him force out of his lungs ;?
every particle of air that he can expel, Yr
and theu draw as deep a breath as his b<
lungs will hold. If this be repeated C
seventy or eighty times by way of imitation
nf tho whale, the exnerimenter will
find that he can hold his breath for a
minute and a half without inconvenicnce. ;
Should he bo a swimmer, he should
always take this precaution before "tak- , ?J
ing a header,'' and he will lind that he v''
can swim for a considerable distance before
he needs to .ise for breath. j
Remember that it is not he who gives j Je
abuse or blows who affronts, but the "
view we take of these things as insult j ^
ing; when therefore, any one provokes
you, be assured that it is your own opin- I
ion that provokes you. j "

i LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS
INCIDENTS IW THE LIFE OP TOH

Mght Hideous with Orjlc*.
"Tom" Marshall, of Kentucky, was j
aarked character in his day and time,
iut died, like Reverdy Johnson, withoul
paving, so far as can be ascertained, an}
ecord of his career. Mr. Marshall was
cry fond of narrating his experiences,
nd* if they could be written as they were
old and word-painted in his own lan;ua<*e
they would be, indeed, a veritable
etting rf colloquial gems, admixed, it
i true, with much dross. Tom Marhall's
life was fitful and fateful, and,
Ithough possessed of talents and accomlishments
far beyond the average oi
ery great men, his fault consisted in
.?i. ?< * . . 4? ..?,1 .-.ri

It was in the fall of 1830, after the Inian
summer of the Northwest had
assed and gone, and Ihe air had beome
sharp and chilly, when Tom Marhall
made his appcarance at St. Paul,
linn. He was unseasonably, indeed,
'rctcliedly, clad, presenting every indiitiou
of straitened circumstances, but
ic good people of that city, nevertheiss,
made him welcome, and expressed
itisfaction with his announcement that
e intended to lecture upon the lives and
baracters of George Washington and
[enry Clay. The writer made his acuaintance
at that period, and, in comion
with his colleagues of the press and
ie citizens genera'ly, busied himself to
iduce appreciative audiences to listen
> his addresses.
Although unkempt, unshaven and undy,
bearing the appearance of a man
ith whom fortune had dealt neither
sntly nor generously, Tom Marshall
Vnmanlf nrnnrllv Rtrnio'lif- no nn
row, he strode through the streets
uttoned to the chin in a drap d'etc coat,
aving to impertinent conjecture the
resence or absence of a shirt, yet, neverleless,
the very incarnation of dignity
id assumed superiority. The St. Paul
2ople, with their accustomed ho^pitaly,
fraternized with him in traditional
Western fashion, and as a consequence
le bowl flowed freely to the music of
x. Marshall's superior conversational
tractions. Within a brief period every>dy
came to know him, and as there
ere many noted characters resident at
t. Paul at that particular period the
nts of their association came togethei
id many Promethean spurks were therej
struck and scintillated.
"When the evening arrived for the de?ery
of his lecture upon George Washgton,
Mr. Marshall appeared yadlv un:r
the influence of "the rosy." Nothing
>ashed, however, he orated upon the
"c, character and services of the Pater
atria; in glowing periods and ornate
lapsodics, but interspersed with occaonnl
commonplaces which grievously
arred the effect of an eloquence almost
vine. His succeeding address upon
enry Clay was a repetition of the preous
lecture in all its beauties of coniption
on the one hand and attendant
>arsenesses on the other, and the alienees
naturally became indignant, if
)t disgusted. Having reaped a plente13
harvest of dollars, the proceeds of
s lectures, he forthwith proceeded to
am the town night and day, in a conquous
orgie.
Meeting him in the street one day he
ated he had just learned a lesson in
>litcncss. He'had met an Indian, he
id, clad in all the gorgeous array of
lint, feathers, trinkets and "blanket,
ruck with the apparent majesty of
e Indian's presence, his hand involunrily
sought his pocket and drew forth
silver half-dollar, which he proffered
a token of pcace and admiration. The
(original took the coin, silently bowed
s thanks, and with the combined digty
of Scipio and Jugurtha, strode
vay. "Ic was the most magnificient
ecimen of untutored courtliness and
ttive grace I ever saw," quoth Mr. Marall.
He was much disturbed, hower,
when informed that Indians were
eat beggars, and their cupidity knew
> oounas.
One cold, stormy evening Marshall
it in an appearance at the Winslow
>use, evidently suffering the cffects of
protracted debauch, lie was the very
rsonification of wretchedness and sufring,
and approaching the stove, then
nding forth its grateful heat, lie held
s benumbed, skinny hands over it,
ivering to the very marrow. All he said
us "Poor Tom's acold!"and the guests
ated in the foyer gazed upon the
odern King Lear with eyes of distress1
sympathy. In a few minutes he
awed out sufficiently to peer about in
quaint, inquisitive manner, when obrving
a group of persons seated neat
r, lie cxclaimcd. "Gentlemen, I do not
tend to be offensive, but may I be
inged if I ever in my life saw so many
>ok-nosed men fogether at onetime!"
voluntarily the guesfs took each other's
mensions, and sure enough it happened
at all of their noses were of pronounced
:>man architecture.
Tom Marshall happily broke the sigficant
silence by loudly exclaiming:
Landlord, what time do you have snpr?"
"Supper at 7," hconicallv replied
e host, the chick pointing to a quartet
7. A dead silence fell on all around,
hinVi hq r?lnr?lr cfmrOr 7 tvk in.
rruptci by Mr. Marshall, who, thrustg
his hand into his pocket, extracted
set of false teeth, and snapping them
ciously into hismouth, shouted .""Now
ing on your supper and be hanged to
iu!"
How Tom Marshall managed to get
ray from St. Paul nobody ever knew,
it the next time the writer met him was
Nashville, Tcnn., during the spring of
IG4, after the defeat of Hood's forces
r General George II. Thomas. He was
like condition as when at St. Paul,
:aring marked traces of dissipation
id in distressed circumstances. He was
;ain befriended, and the theatre eniged
for him to deliver a lecture upon
aarlemagne. The house was fil'ed
om pit to dome at $1 a head, and. to
e surprise of everybody, he was duly
ber. He opened his discourse upon the
rench soldier-monarch by paying glowg
tributes to his virtues, and quoted
s dying adjuration to his son Louis,
Love your people as your children;
loose your magistrates and governors
om those whose belief in God will
eserve them from corruption, and see
iat your own life be blameless." At
lis juncture he drew a comparison with

was at a meeting of New Engnd

A Broken Heart.
The term broken heart as commonly
jplied to death from excessive grief, is
3t a vulgar error, but may aiise from
iolent muscular exercise or strong menil
emotions. The affection was, it is
slieved, first described by Ilarvey; but
nee his day several cases have been ob>rved.
Morgagni has recorded a few
camples, among them that of George
of Euglaud, who died suddenly of

irious, Morgagni himself became a vie

mob in the Pike county jail at tho latter j l>
1 placo on Sunday night Tho mob, consist- b
ing of about seventy-five men, broke into |
tiio jail, and, as on a previous occasion, i ?
tried to shoot tho Polk brothers, who |
are charged with murder, to death. Finding ?,
that tho location of llieir cell was such that n
tho two prisoners could keep out of the range
of the bullets, the mob hauled a lot of wood E
to the jail, piled it around tho iron cell, satu- fi
rated tho wood with coal oil and literally di
roasted bo*,h the prisoners alive. c<
The Polk brothers, Sylvester and Henry, fi
were in jail for killing a poddler named tt'il- sj
liams, and three previous attempts had been d
made to lynch them, tho most notable of oi
which was on Wednesday, tho l'Jth of Au- TM
gust, when a mob from thesurrounding coun- oi
try visited Murfreesboro. Thoy first fired a few st
shots into tho cell occupied by the brothers, cl
They then broke two holes through tho wall, ai

coal oil down into them and set fire to it, but p
thoy only succeede 1 in making it bum in one b
cell, all tho bedding, clothing, etc., being Jj
consumed. jii
They then began to use dynamite, and thoro
were three or four terrible explosion? inside
of the jail. Bo severe were tho shocks that it ,
caused the ceiling of the jail to fall with a '
great crash. Tuo window glass, which was j
largo and heavy, all shattered to pieces except
two or threo panes on tho etist side. Tho numt\ni?

dynamite, together with the firo and smoke Jc
to bo soon in the jail and the perfect sileuce I K
of the prisoners inside led all who were near li:
enough to see and hear to believe that tho
Polk brothers were certainly kilted. Upon b;
examination, after the party left, however, n:
they were found unhurt, but were somewhat a
jarred by the explosions, the heaviest of
which occurred uuuer the corner of the cell di
in which they were confined. se
After- gaining an entrance to the cell iD ei
which the prisoners wera confined the mob ol
was held at bay and finally driven from tho ft

The eighteenth annual rouuion of tlio So!
ciety of the Army of the Tennessoe was held UI
at Chicago. A business mooting was held in ni
: the morning, at which about 200 oflicers and
I members of tho society were present. General
William T. Sherman, president of the associ- ^
ation, was in the chair. On tho stage with tv
him were General Logan and Governors aI
Marshall, Oglesby, Sherman and Fletcher.
In the body of the audience were
I Generals Belknap. John B. Sanborn, M. M.
j Bone, Clinton B. Fiske, Hickenlooper, Force ,
j and others. The secretary reported that *
four members had died during the year,
viz.: General U. S. Grant, Colonel D. N.

i Major Josiah Barber. A committee
was appointed 1o draft appropri- s
I ate resolutions in view of tho death of ^

by General Sanborn, Governor Oglesby and
General Sherman. The latter in tho course S
of a long address on General Grant, said:
"He knew little and cared less about p,
I 'strategy,' and I doubt if he ever read Jomi- ,.j

call, expressed a preference for Hardee over js
I Scott, Oasoy or Morris. Still, ho loved to seo

A GREAT MARINE DISPLAY.
Tho International Yacht Rncc
01? New York.
The Two Contending Boats Accompanied
by Hundreds of Craft.
The big, ewer-shaped, solid-silver trophy
known as tho America's cup, emblematic o?
tho yachting supremacy of tho world, was
originally offered by the R)yal Yacht
squadron of England as a prize to be sailed
for by yachta of all nations ovor the squadron's
course around the Isle of Wight It has
been frequently, but erroneously, called the
Queen's Cup. Thirty-four years ago the
American yacht America crossed tho ocean,
and in a contest against tho best yachts of
Great Britain easily won the prizo. Twice
English yachts have come to this country for
the purpose of regaining the trophy, but on
each occasion bavo been beaten by the
American contestants? Tho English
first tried to get the cup back in
1870. Commodoro Ashbury, of tho
Royal Thames Yacht club, challenging for
it and bringing over bis schooner yacht
Cambria. She raced against twenty-four
yachtsof the New York Yacht club squadron,
and was badly defeated. But Mr. Ashbury
hod grit, and he built biin a new yacht called
the Livonia and crossed tho seas next year,
determined, if possible, to carry back the
cup in triumph to the Castle of Cowes. But
it was not to be, and the Livonia was defeated
by tho schooner yachts Columbia and Sappho
in a series of races.
A
/m
THE PURITAN.
Since that time the Americans have not had
to defond the cup against a "crack" English
yacht. The Canadians sent down the Countess
of Dufferin in 187Gandtho sloop Atalauta
in 1881. Both were easily defeated, the first
bj' tho schooner Madeleine and the second by
tho sloop Mischief. Now, however, the
yachtsmen of America have had a matter of
quite another sort on their hands. The cutter
Uenesla, in the full flush of her English victories,
a representative of the bust type of
English yacht architecture, owned by Sir
Richard Sutton, a man who represents a
family that has been foremost in sports
on "lSnd aud water in England
for generations, an J manned by a crew of the
flower of English sailors, carao across the
ocean to try and regain the world's yachting
championship.
A series of trial races among American
yachts resulted in the selection of the Puritan,
built in Boston specially for this contest,
as America's representative to race against
tho Gonesta.
Owing to a light wind the two yachts were
unable to finish tho first of their series of
three races, and it had to be postponed. But
as the occasion brought out the most magnificent
niarins pageant ever witnessed inNew
York harbor, we give a description of the
most notoworthy scenos and events. A vivid
idea of the multitude of spectators may be
obtained from the following account:
About this timo the North and East rivers
nnd the bay wero fairly swarming with craft.
Not since tho Statue of Liberty came up in
the Isere has so bonutiful a sight been witnessed
looking south from tho Battery wall.
The little yachts with their big spread of
cauvas all set to catch tho light breeze,
the tugboats, the big white tcamers, ugly
lighters, merchant vessels nnd craft
of ovory conceivable description and
from every country passed back and forth on
tho classy water, scarcoly stirred by the faint
wind. An observer seated on the battery
wall could not count tho boats, they were so
numerous. The police boat Patrol went by
with a s?4ect party of city officials on board.
The tug Joseph P. Stickney sped by with the
THE GENESTA.
momher.j of tlio I.arclimont Yacht club on
board. The mammoth steamers Grand Hepublic
ami Columbia took down 7,<I0'J persons
between them, gathered up at points along
tho North river an I Brooklyn. The members
oi t!ie New Jersey Yacht club went
Jown on the steamer Lyndlnirst, while tho
Sylvan Dell took down live hundred of the
nemb?rj of tiu Atlantic Yacht club. On
the iron steamer Sinus were tho famiiies and
members of ilie 'Eastern clubs from Boston,
Portland, Dorchester, Newport, New Bedford
and Lynn. Tho tugboats (J.vclops, Excelsior,
Ivanhoo, It. P. Cahiii, Indian, C. P.
Ravmon 1, M. B. Stirbu -k. E. L. Levy and
Keindeor, all crowded with people, glided
past, gay with fluttering pennants.
The Old Dominion steamship Breakwater,
took down the bay 900 passengers recruited
from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Norfolk and Richmond. The schooner C. P.
Schultz, in tow of a tug, carried about 100
Eightseers.
It was estimated that fully ">0,000 men and
women went down the bay to seo the race.
As tickets sold from $1 to $3 each, about
$125,000 was expended in this way.
The Sound steamers that reached the city
in the morning or the night before brought
hundreds of patriotic isew iSngianders reaiiy i
to bot their Inst cent on tho representative of
Yankee shipcraft and Yankee seamanship.
Not only the regular steamboats that ply
between here and Eastern cities, but many
excursion steamers that wero strangers in
Now York waters wore piloted through Hell 1
Gate about daybreak and steamed down tho
bay without stopping, having on boards
crowds of men and women for whom tho vessels
had been specially chartered.
Every train that rolled into tho Grand
Central depot for forty-eight hours botoro the
race added* its tribute to tho living stream
that flowed from New England's "rock-bound
coast." Boston, Lowell, Portland, Worcester,
Lawrence, Fall River, Providence, Newport,
and the big and littlo fcities all sent their
representatives. The eight cars of the Boston
express were jammed full when that train
rolled into the Grand Central depot at G:'Jo
a. sr. They were nearly all solid, substantial
citizens, merchants, business men, etc.
Tho Luckenback anchored to tho northeast
of Scotland lightship, with tho yacht committee
on board. At 1:30 tho preparatory
whistle sounded- Tho Briton thon had her
nose to the northward, about an eighth of a
inile from tho lino. The Puritan, sailing indolently
to tho westward with sheets free,
was not more than thnjo hundrod yards away
from and abeam of tho Genesta. At the
hoarse toot of tho starting whistle at
o'clock, the Briton wont about on tho wind
with such rapidity as to cause a cutter admirer
to wonder whether she was pivoted. |
Sho approached tho lino on tho port tack, j
with mainsail, club topsail, foro- j
staysail, jib and jibtopsail sot She pierced
tho placid water nearly as noiselessly as a '
needlo passes through a piece of cloth. Thero
was no trace of spray from her bilges, and j
only a foatnless wake indicated her course.
The Puritan went about into tho wind a few
soconas mrar tnan tno JCngnshman, and carrying
tho same canvas, parting two faint
white-tipped curls from her wider bilges, and
to every patriot's astonishment and joy,
glided just under the bow of the tug and across
the lino at 1 :50. The probable object of
tho Genesta in selecting what was undoubtedly
the windward position at tho start, was
to cross the line beforo tho Puritan and hold
on to this advantage. She was foiled by tho
smart skipper of tho Yankee sloop. Tho
Genesta immediately changed her tack. She
was within forty yards of the lino, and lost
nearly a half minute in stays. Nho crossed
tho line at l:#":#?, just :>7 seconds nfter
the blowing of the time-limit whistle.
She thus lost nil of her time
allowance, and was handicapped six
seconds in addition. Tho Puritan also went
about 011 the starboard tack, skimming along
3U0 feet to tho windward of her antagonist,
and apparently increasing her advantage.
Both boats were heading east, close hauled,
the Genesta heeling in tho approved fashion
of her typa. The Yankee showed that she
could outrun and outpoint the Briton in mild
weather. Seeing themselves in dancer of
being worsted, the Englishmen at 1:5S out
their yacht about on the pjrt tack. Her
quickness in stays clicitod hand-clapping
from some of tho vessels in the variegated
fleet that closely followed her. The Yankeo '
boat changed her tack forty seconds later,
much to the diseomtlturoof the Briton, whoso
handlers seemingly hoped to go olf by themselves
hunting for a favorable slant of wind.
Tho Genesta turned on tho starboard tuck
at 1:5U:-0, and again, jus'., lit'ty seconds lator,
tho Yunkee made the satin manoeuvre.
Skipper Crocker and t.io Eastern yachtsmen
probably remembered how the
Priscilltt won tho second trial
race by a wind-seeking excursion, and were
determined that the Geuestu should not h ivo
a chanco to do likewise. '1 he cutter had lost
by ber frequent tacking. The two yac'ita
continued on the starboard tack. Tin 11.u
pointing of the Puritan roused onthusins n
that frequently found expression in handt
/
clapping and cheering aboard overy excur- J
sion boat. The Bostonian steadily widened j
the windward difference between hcrsolf and
the Briton. Sho did not doviate .an iota
from hor course, but the cutter, in her i
offorts to point us effectually as the Puritan '
did, steored unsteadily. Sho always led her
antagonist in tacking. She went about on
the port tack at 3:07, having gone nearly
eight miles on tho previous log, and headed 7
southwest by west, right through the van of l
oirfrv r*i?ftw^nr1 afiininhMnfa nnrl tiirra nnrl **00
sailing craft of overy conceivablo pattern.
Th-j Puritan, which was over half a mile to
windward of tho cutter, followed her examplo
Ave seconds later.
Tho scene at this point, where tho canvas- C
topped boats mingled with the steamers, ox- t;
ceeded anything ever witnessed at a yacht p
raco. A stranger coming into tho port
might have supposed that an carthquuko had e'
struck tho city, and tho inhabitants wore flee- u
ing in all manner of floating things. tl
All tho boats, big and littlo, turned in the
wake of the racers as they passed either astern
of them or across their bows. The Eliza a
Hancox got dangerously near tho Genosta a
several times and had to bo warned away by r
tho Police Boat Putrol, on which wero Com- .
missioner Voorhis, Inspector Byrnes and b
many others connected with the police de- t<
partment c
At 51:25 the wind hauled to about southwest ^
by south and freshened considerably. The
windward difference between the combatants "
was then four times what it was originally, ji
At 3:55 the mass of craft were abeam and to j,
leoward of both racers. ' Tho Englishman .
bowled past tho big schooners Dreadnought D
and Gitana and the Montauk. She was t)
abeam of tho old America, with General tl
Butler on board, at 3:55. The flagship tl
Polynia, with Vico-Commodoro Douglass, t
Mr. noom uenter, \>rignc naniora, ana w
two dozen other gpntlomen aboard, drew v
alongside the Luckenback at -1:40 o'clock. v
ThoGenesta was off again on the starboard ,J
tack, after a six-mile roach southwest by b
west, at 4:13. Tlio Puritan imitated her a f'
minute later, pointing east-southeast. The tl
Englishman again dodged through the big g
fleet: of excursion boats, whilo the Puritan, d
fully a mile to the windward, and constantly c
adding to her gain, was on the outer edge of f:
the Meet The Genesta's mainsail quivered o
frequently. An Euglish yachtsman said that b
this was the loosening effect of a cool, moist tl
evening, to which British mainsails were pe- fl
culiarly susceptiblo. h
The excursion boats sighted the tug that ^
was hovering near the flag-topped turning t!
float at 4:30 o'clock and immediately headed ii
for it. The Yankco was then fully a mileto
tho windward of the Gonesta, a difference o
eijtial to a lead of nearly a mile and a third. t
The time for making tho race was limited 6'
to seven hours, and the turning mark was at j
that time nearly four miles away from the d
yachts. It was plain to everybody that the re- fi
mainder of tho courso could not be covered in t
tho light wind until long after 8:37 o'clock.
So tho regatta committee announced to thft u
surrounding boats that there would b? no g
race. d
j
Tlio Kccond Failure.
An attempt was made to have the race c
take place on tho following day, and a largo v
number of craft again gathered in the lower d
bay to witness the contest. At about 11:80 t
tho boats were less than fifty yards apart, t
and in the rnanouvoring for place they came n
together, the Puritan striking the bowsprit t
of the English cutter and completely tearing t
it away. The mniiuail of tho American d
was badly damaged. Tho excitement
was now greater than ever, and f
the scone of-tho accident soon became a veri- t
table pandemonium. As the Puritan was to \
blame for the accident the judges decidel to t
rule tho American sloop out of the raca, 8
which was equivalent to awarding the victory ]
to the British cutter; but tho owner of the
Uenesta said he wanted a race, not a walk- I
over. It was then decided that tho damage J
done to tho Geiu's-a should be repaired at the a
expense or tna lunuiu, ami iuuk wd iavo i
should tako place oh a later day.
EICFT W^ADRID, j
Enraged Spaniard* Attack tlic (ier- *
man Eml>a?y)*?
The disputo between Geriuauy and Spain (
over iHJssossion of the Carolina islands in the j
Pacific ocean has resulted in an attack by I
enraged Spaniards upon the German ombas- ^
sy nt Madrid. Following are details as given
by dispatches from the Spanish capital: c
A sensati >n was created hero last ovenin? *
on the receipt of important nows from the c
Carolino Islands. Tlie Spanish war ships 0
reached Yap, ono of the islands, 011 August 1
21, and prepared to occupy it in the namo of
Spain. The Spanish officers were dilatory in 1
landing troops, and on August 2i a German
gunboat arrived. Although it was 7 1
o'clock in the evening, the German commauder c
instantly landed a body of marines and sail- '
ors, and hoisted tlio (ierman nag over me *
island. The governor of the island wished to
resist the landing of the Gorman marines
and sailors, but the commander of the Spanish
man-of-war San Qaentin, which was
the only ves-ol of that nationality in the
harbor at tho time, refused to agree with
the governor as to tho adoption of
such a course or to lend the latter assistance.
The commander of the San Quentin contented
himself with making ail energetic protest:
against the action of the German commander,
and, on the latter's refusal to recedo from
tho position ho had taken, telegraphed to
Madrid for instructions. #
Tho excitement over this news soon became
intense. Tho successive editions of the Madrid
newspapers containing accounts of the
German occupation were eagerly lx>ugl\t by
tho people, and excited groups stooi around i
the lamp-posts and doorways of cafes heatedly 1
discussing the situation. A largo crowd soon '
gathered in front of tho German embassy, 1
attacked tho building, ami tore down the
coat-of-arms and dragged it "through the *
streets of the Puerta del Sol, where f
they burned it in front of tho offices of tho h
minister of tho interior amid yells of "Down j
with .Germany." The Civil guards after- i'
ward recovered a portion of it. After vent- t
ing their spleen there the mob proceeded to d
the French embassy and cheered frantically.
Tho crowd had by this time grown much 3
larger, and, fears being entertained of tl
a serious riot, troops . wero ordered d
out to clear tho streets. Tho v
crowd slowly retired before tho military, a
On the receipt of the news, the minis- I
ters wero immediately summoned to a cab- n
inet council, and King Alfonso was advised c
of the strained situation. He returned to a
tho city to day and the ministers and the h
civil and military authorities met him at the f<
railroad station. Largo crowds of people
lined the route token by the royal party in
going to thepalace, and shouted, "Long live
Spain." The king was repeatedly
greeted with cheers, and notwith- [
standing tho excitement the most perfect
order prevailed. A cabinet council was immediately
held, and it was decided to court'
* ~e "V?-? on/1 f nnm. ^
martial mo goveruur ui x up, ~
mandors of the two SpanLsh war ships which t
arrived tliero on August -1, for neglect, of r
duty, the latter in not immediately garrisoning
the island with Spanish soldiers on their
arriving there, and the former in not hoist- c
ing the Spanish flag and proclaiming the j
suzerainty of Spain over the island. t
A lato Madrid dispatch states that the j
council of ministers, with the sanction of j
King Alfonso, lias framed and dispatched to c
the Gorman government an ultimatum ro- ?
questing Germany to evacuate the Caroline j
islands. Spain in the meantime will refrain j
from a material occupation of tho islands, ,
ami thus alFord a basis for further j
parleying. Tho total number of arrests {
made at Madrid in connection with tho dem* ?
(lustration against Germany is 184. Tho j
German consulate at Valencia received the (
same treatment at tho hands of the populace v
as the Gorman embassy at Madrid.
A HEAVY WEIGHT. '
Dcntli of tlie Fnilcst Woman In tho
I'nitcil Mutes.
Mrs. Einnn M. Markley, who was credited 1
with being the heaviest woman m the country,
was buried from her home, in Lombard
street, Philadelphia, a few days since. She I
was known to tho amusement public as Mmo. s
Victoria. Her advertised weight was over '
<;:<) pounds, and her actual weight about ~>~>0 >
pounds. She was born in Reading, Ponn., I
atiout thirty-three years ago, and was slim 1
and delicate throughout her girlhood, t
! At nineteen she weighed ninaty pounds 1
! only, but from this age she (
liogan to gradually gain flesh. lietweon i J
three and live years ago, when she made an |
! application for an insurance policy, she j .
weighed ".'SO pounds. Afterward her weight' '
| increased rapidly, until she gained the dis- [ .
| tinetion of being the fattest woman in the! !
j country, if not in the world. This honor was
con.'erredou her at the "Fat Woman's Conj
gress" at the Arch Street Dime nius?uni last
I winter, when slio carried oil' the tirst prize, j
Two years ago she was placed on exhibi-1
I tion for a short time in Chestnut street, (
j and while there sustained an injury that
| finally resulted in her death. The platform .
| on which her chair was placed was hastily! 1
j constructed, and she expressed her fears as'
to its strength. Soon al't,cr she had moimtod : i
I tho platform the suptiorts gave way and she
fell to tho floor. Her ankle was sprained,' (
and soon afterward she was attacked with
I erysipelas in the leg.
j Her weight seoai 'd to increase during lior I [
illness, and sometime before her death nieas- i
! ureinenls of several parts of her body were
j taken. The ciivuint'eroifo of her arm at the I 1
j biceps was tbirU-six inches. Her waist j <
i inA.wiiro.i iat. inches, and from shoulder to j
i should"!' she measured three feet and one half j 1
j ineh. The measurement across I it hips was ! '
jus* four feet On the night of her death it '
i required the full strength oi nine m -:i to car- 1 t
i ry her body from the seeou- 1-story front '
J room to the parlor 011 th>! gruiin I floor. j
The eollin was probably the largest ever
| built. It was constructed of three-inch wal- !
I nut planks, anil was stoutly braced on the '
; inside with a dozen heavy iron bars. It was 1
j six feet ten inches long, forty-six inches wide, (
! and threo feet deep. It was too lar^e to pass
j through the door, and was taken through the 1
I wide single window an! carried to the un- l
j dertaker's wajon by twelve stout men. I
i There was not a hearse in the city large
j enough to contain the eollin. The interment (
J took place at the Odd Fellows' cometery. Her
j burial was aguiust a wish expressed by her j
1 shortly before her death. Sir* had a morbid
' fear that her b >dy would be stolen for tin
1 purpose of dissection, and asked that it b? |
cremated. Her husband's limited means pre
I vented him from carrying out her wish.

A terrible tornado struck Washington ^.r<
Jourt House, a city of 4,000 inhabitants, tweny-five
miles west of Springfield, at 8 o'clock son
. M , and almost literally swept it from the Ion
arth. It camo from the northwest and broke
pon the town very suddenly, carrying every- fai;
bing before it. The tornado whirled up cro
tourt street, the main business thoroughfare, ^C1
nd ruined almost every business block on it,
t least forty or fifty in alL Hardly a private 1
esidence in the town escaped, fully 400 hac
uildings going down. Tin Baptist, Presby.
jrian, and Catholic churches all suffered the ur
ommon fate. The Ohio Southern, Pan Han- arr
le, Narrow Gauge, and Midland railroad J"a
opols were blown to pieces, and every build- t]lc
ig in the vicinity was carried away, making Mr
igrtss or egress almost impossi- wy
le. The panic-stricken people were
iken completely unawares, and fled from mi,
he tumbling buildings in every direction 0tii
hrough tho darkness. A mad frenzy seemed i
o seize them, and they hurried hither aud b0<
liither in their distraction, little knowing an
rhither thov were fleeing. After the whirl- Th
find, which lasted about ten minutes, a ^,
eavy rainfall set in, which continued unaated
durimr the n crht. As soon as a
aw of tho cooler heads recovered J
heir senses, searching parties were oranized,
and the sad work of looking for the ?
cad began. T.'he glimmer of lanterns proured
from farm houses in the vicinity and ni:
rom the few homes left standing was the ^
nly light they had to work by. Two or three &ln
odies were stumbled upon in the middle of gai
he street, where they were stricken down by I
ying bricks or timbers. The cellars of beg
ouses and every sort of refuge was filled cloi
rith shivering people huddling together in tio:
he vain attempt to keep warm. One babe -j
i arms died from exposure. g.(
Anothor account states that '* the tornado
f last evening almost completely demolished anj
his place. Itot a single store facing Central
quare, out of forty, is left intact, and a ma- 1
ority of them are leveled. About 200 resi- thr
cnces aro destroyed, and the streets are so ?>hi
illed with debris that it is almost impossible "U1
o pass through them? I
"All the gas went out when the storm came anc
p. Bonfires had to be built in the streets to Soi
;ive light for tho searchers. The total known sex
ead number five, and about fifty are in- i
urod. One of the latter, manager of the ^
elephone exchange, was hurried across the j)a
treet, and had one arm, one leg and his fjj,
ollar bone broken. Some houses f
rere lifted up and carried bodily several hun ..
[red feet, and then dashed to tbe ground with p J
erriflc force. The shattered fragments were 9?1
hen whirled in some instances a quarter of a i ?
nile. - Relief committee is at work and all mt
he houses not destroyed aro thrown open to I
lie homeless. Farmers ar3 coming in by am
lozens, bringing food and bedding." Bu
Ths loss in Oaklawn, just across the river caj
rom Washington, is estimated to be larger an(
han that of the whole of Jamestown last ^
-ear. In all it is estimated that at least 200 COr
mildings were either unroofed or totally de- ma
troyed in Washington. The following is a 6ta
1st oC the killed: gr(
Miss Hattie Forcha, aged 20, Johnnie He
i'orcha, aged 12, childron of Hugh Forcha; vai
Irs. Mollie Jones, widow; Miss Edith Floyd, ^ai
iged 20, and a ten-year-old daughter of rhil _
,'arrs, 1
The following were seriously injured, and ei
vere not expected to live: Bernard Haggard,
irm and leg broken, breast crushed, two ribs
jid collarbone broken; James 0. Jackson, Net
pine injured; John C. van Pelt, hurled fifty ?h !
oetand internally injured: Judge A. Gregg,
erious internal injuries. Miss Kinchart, inane
through fright; Charles Mercer, clerk
,'horry house, arm broken and internally inu

Lead. Lod
Beside the above about fifty other persons
vere injured. _ .
Early next morning Sheriff Rankin called
fut Company B of the Sixth regiment, and Lan
ho soldiers carefully guarded overy stre?t >-at
sntrance to stop plundering. The city is an >:c\
iwful sight. The maiu buildings are all in
uins. Atl,
The loss aa near as can be estimated is fixed aoi
it $1,000,000. Bin
At Plain City, eighteen miles from Colum- Chi
>us, Ohio, a carriage factory and mill were
lemolished, and other buildings unroofed. II
rhis placo is on a direct line north of Wash- HI
ngton Court House, and all along south to
he Ohio river the trail of destruction is re- j
lorted inlike manner. hjj
Reports from various parts of Ohio and In- ,
liana show that tue storm which devastated *
Washington Court House was widespread,
n Miami county, Ohio, its course was due E
iast At Colesville, in that county, two cou
isrns were blown down and the dwelling of i
'.Ir. Winterstein was carried around and ono mo

>f the family are seriously hurt. On ^la
:he other side of the Miami river
i grain house was blown away and ,
3erry Ramsey's frame house was blown from .
ts foundation and wrecked. The path of the '-a
itorm was from forty rods to half a mile Pro

louse was blown down and Mrs. Shanks was S_i<l
njured. At Dublin several houses were Ne
fvreckcd. At Seymour, Ind., and at Napo- J
eon, 0., much damage is reported, but no Yo
ives were lost. the
A dvices from Circleville, Ohio,-state that t
ho tornado passed through the country a
ow miles south of that place, nnrooling .
louses and blowing down fences and trees.
i. very heavy rain fell. News from Wash- 1
