Billiards, cards, gossip and books would make life as tolerable as eti shore, and the guests would have the novel diversion of looking through glass panels in the sides of the ship at the gigantic pollywogs. baby tvhales, squirming devil fishes, and hosLs of other curious things that would olay tag and turn somersaults for the sake of a few cold victuals now and then. But it must be confessed such a hotel would have its dangers. It might get adrift and then the first thing we should hear of it would be that "the Hotel Jonah was seen drifting hy tho Sea View House 1700 miles off Cape Horn this morning, and unless Unwind veers she will run on Graham's Land if she doesn't first get afoul of the South Pole." Or the hotel might sprink a leak, and then the cable would tell us that "tin-guests of the Waves of the Ocean Hotel bad to man the pumps this morning, and it is doubtful how long they can keep afloat. Mid-ocean mansions could with great profit be utilized for penal institutions.

Nowhere on land has prison ever stood from which no prisonercould escape. Even Deer Island's briny walls have not deterred the restless vagabond from changing his sphere of operations. But a penitentiary in mid-ocean would give the prisoner but one chance, tho advent of a pirate bold who might wish to recruit his crew. If the prison were well fortified the pirate would certainly bo foiled. Such an establishment would have no need of costly stone walls.

Its solitary cells might lie anchored IOO yards off, and ono trial of solitude would suffice. For agonizing loneliness it would knock spots out of any lodge in any vast wilderness on record. As a receptacle for a girls' boarding house a super-Atlantic residence would have many advantages. There would be no horrid boys to divert the minds of the fair ones from strict attention to study. The polishing process could progress without inter- a.

NewlmiyporU at Boston. F. A. Cloudman of Rondout, N. has conceived an ingenious scheme for ocean lightships which shall stretch in line across the ocean, connected with each other and the land by telegraph cables, and anchored so that they cannot drift.

Voluntary hermits will live on them, take weather observations, send reports to cither side of the water about storms, and harbor shipwrecked mariners. Thus science, commerce and agriculture will be benefited. Mr. Cloudman proposes that his lightship lie shaped very much like a cheese box with the cover convex, so as to offer as little resistance as possible to the waves.

Tho HflTf was in elTeet that about o'clock one runming a ship appeared It was a British war ship.

What would she do. ould she tack about in the bay to pick up ktrnoffo ooanters as prizes, or would sin-Jan soldiers to hum the In either case there would be trouble enough. Those were sad days in 1812. The sight of a British War ship in Boston bav was not pleasant. We had no monitor to fight tho enemy.

The wood people in tho little village of Scituate harbor were in great distress over the strange ship that had ui-poared at the mouth of the harlior. The town was a great fishing place in those days, and the harlior was lull of macks and boats of all kinds. The Ilrlti-h Huldiera could have easily entered the harbor and burnt up everything. There were men enough to make a good fight, but they were poorly armed, and bad nothing but fowling-pieces and shot-guns. The tide was clown during the morning, so that there was no would all be cap! ured and perhaps hung by the dreaded Americans.

Mow the drum rolled! The tifo changed its tune. It played "Yankee Doodle," tho horrid tune! Mark! The men were cheering In town there were thousands of them in the woods along the shore? In irriin silence inarched the two girls-plodding over tho sharp stoivs, splashing through the puddles-Abigail beating the old drum with might and main. Rebecca blowing the life with shrill determination, lion the Itritikh Mrrumbletl into their boats! One of the brave ofiicers was nearly left behind on the burning sloop. Another fell overboard and wet his clothes in his haste to escape from the American army inarching down the beach a thousand strong! Mow the. soldiers pulled! No fancy rowing now, but tlesperate haste to get out of tho place and escape to their ship.

How the people yelled and cheered on shore. Fifty men or more jumped into boats to prepare for the chase. Ringing shots began to crack over the water. Loader and louder rolled tho terrible drum. and clear rang cut the cruel tifo.

Nearly exhausted, half dead with fatigue, the girls toiled on tearful, laughing, ready to drop on the wet sand, and still beating and blowing with ticry courage. The boat passed swiitly oat of the harbor on the outgoing tide. The lishermen came up with the burning boats, Part stopped to put out the tires, and the rest pursued the enemy with such shots as they could get at them. In tho midst of it ail the sun went down. The redcoats did not return a shot.

They expected every minute to seo looo men ujon them at short raiure from tho beach, and thev reserved their powder. Out of harbor they wout in confusion and dismay. The ship weighed anchor and ran out her big guns, but did not tire a shot. Darkness I fell down on the scene as the boats reached tho ship. Then she sent a round shot toward the light.

It fell short, and threw a great fountain of white water into the air. The girls saw it. and dropped their drum and life, sat down on tho bench, and laughed till they cried. That night the ship sailed away. Tho great American army of two had arrived, and she thought it wise to retreat in time.

Rebecca died at her residence on Willow street, on Tuesday, December 13, 1881, in her mob. year. During her last years, though old and feeble in body, she was brave in spirit and strong in patriotism. The two sisters were wont to describe, in autographic notes, which they sold to visitors, as "the American army of two in the of isil'." Miss Abigail was the drummer and Miss Rebecca, her sister, who waa her companion in the "army of two," was tho lifer. Nkwbi-ryport, March 21.

The most destructive conflagration which has visited this city for several years past occurred this morning, by which two shoe factories and a block of three tenements were totally consumed. Another three-tenement block was nearly destroyed and several other buildings were more or less damaged. The location of the fire was in that portion of the city known as Daltonville, near the Boston Maine freight depot, and but feu minutes' walk from the centre of the town. It was discovered a few minutes before 4 o'clock by the neighborhood generally, several persons being awakened from their slumbers by their chambers being flooded with light. At that lime the shoe factory of Morgan Brothers was one mass of flames.

For some unexplained reason it was nearly half an hour before an alarm was sounded, but finally a call was rung in from Box 32, followed immediately by a general alarm. The entire department responded, but Steamer 3 did not put in an appearance for fifteen minutes later, a pair of balky horses refusing to budge after coniine out of the house, and another team wa sent, after having hauled Steamer No. 1. Daltonville is a growth of a few years past, all the buildings in the neighborhood beingnearly new. It is on the highest land which the water system touches, and in addition to the other troubles there was a woeful lack of this article.

The Morgan factory was a wooden building fifty feet in length, three stories high, with a basement story of brick. Adjoining this was the shoe factory of Robert Couch, also of wood, three stories high nd twice as large. The fire almost simultaneously reached this building, and before the first piece of apparatus arrived, both were beyond the ower ol saving. At 4. ten minutes after the alarm sounded, not a wall of either were standing, and both were masses of ruins.

The three tenement houses below the Morgan factory next tcok fire, and the flames swept everything clear to the foundation walls. The tire then crossed Dalton street and attacked a cottage which was, however, saved without serious damage. Next above the cottage was the Leavitt block of three tenements. This was about half consumed before the flames were stayed. The Morgan factory was owned by the Morgan Brothers.

The building and contents were valued at Not an article was saved. The insurance on the building was $3000 stock and machinery. $13,000. The Couch factory likewise is a total loss, with its contents, valued at $45,000. It was owned by Robert Couch and lusttred for goooo.

The stock and fixtures were owned by Robert Couch, Co. and insured for The basement of the Morgan factory was occupied by the Eagle Mill Powder "Washing" Company; loss, $1500; insurance, lotto. Tho three tenement dwelling houses next below the Morgan factory was owned by Mrs. Eunice Poole, valued at and insured for S1200; it was occupied by Mrs. Thomas Foster and by William Richardson, who lose about $500 on furniture, uninsured.

Charles Richardson 1 oarded with the latter, and was about to move into the unoccupied tenement, lie hud about 930U worth of furniture stored in the attic uninsured. The Leavitt block as owned by I S. Leavitt, valued at S40 damaged to the amount of 32500, which is fuily coTered by insurance. It were occupied bv E. ft ibbetts, Cnarles Hughes and Frank P.

Kilgove: the former loses -SIOOO on furniture, fully insured; the others about $800 between them, not insured. In, additional! adjoining house was damaged to the amount of by the intense heat in scorching uamt. breaking glass, etc, and the loss on workmen's tools will amount to S2oO or more. The total loss is estimated at upwards of insurance 5t. 500.

One hundred, hands are thrown out of work and seven families rendered homeless. The wind waa blowing a tierce gale at the time and the wonder is that any portion of the section which is entirely of wood was saved from destruction. In one of the houses a woman lav sick. and she was removed with difficulty on her bed from the burning building. An elderly lady was removed in the same manner.

Another was rendered nearly insane lrom fright ami had to be cared for by neighbors. It was only in November last that the Morgan factory a a partially destroyed by fire, but was immediately rebuilt. It3 owntrs are four brothers, recognized as young men of sturdy character and pluck and it is believed they will recover from this second blow and begin again, particularly as they were doing a good business and had largo orders ahead. Mr. Couch is also a young man, and although his plans are not formulated, it is understood that unless he rebuilds he will remove to an unoccupied factory in the north part of the city.

The cause of the tire is supposed to have been accidental, but nothing definite is known on this point. When discovered the heart of the tire waa in the southeast part of the Morgan factory, while all the stoves were at the other, so that some incline to the belief that it was of incendiary origin. 24-Haverhills at Lawrence, Newburyports at Boston.

Danny Kelliher to Meet Jimmy Kyan Philadelphia. A contest that is sure to be of great interest to the sporting fraternity throughout the country, is now being arranged between Denny Kelliher of Quincy, who is an aspirant for the middle-weight charnpion-ship.

and Ryan of Philadelphia. Kelliher's hackers at first intended that a match should be arranged between Denny and the winner of the Dempsey-La Blanche fight, but the chance for a contest with Kyan presented itself about ten days ago, and this fight will take place before another is arranged. Ryan is one of the few men who has fought a draw with Dempsev. ibis tiht took place at Philadelphia on beptember 16, 1884, and lasted seven rounds. The following correspondence explains itself: Boston, March 188C.

Jimmy Kyan. Pine street. Philadelphia. In behalf of Uonnv Kelliher of (iiiiucy. I am Instructed to make arrangements, it possible, for a six-round Klove contest with vou.

Kelliher says that he will either tlht in Philadelphia or in this city, whichever will he satisfactory to vou. 1 he flght to be decided under Marquis of Qoeens-berry rules, scientific points to count, for cither a purse or a stake. The winner to receive Go per cent, of the fate receipts, and the loser the balance. The flsfht to be decided three Weeks after the signing of the articles of agreement. Yours truly, Dan GILL For Denny Kelliher.

On Thursday tho following answer was received Philadelphia, March 16, 1884. Dun QUI, Boston: I am satisfied to visit Boston and flvht Kelliher for a purse of $600 to be divided as you say. I must, however, ask that I be riven at least four weeks to prepare for the coutest. You know I nave never appeared in a contest in Boston, and I certainly desire to mnke a good showing on my tirst visit to the Hub. 'lease make all necessary arrangements and write me.

iToiirs. etc. Jimmy Eyas. Dan Gill w-aa seen by a Globe representative last evening, and in answer to several questions he said: "I really believe that Denny has an excellent chance to make a big reputation for himself as a miilille-Weight pugilist. He will mako it warm for Ryan, and I think that he will best him, although the I'hiladelphian is one of the cleverest middleweight sparrers in this country.

He made great fight against Deinpsoy, and it stands to reason that if Kelliher is able to defeat him he also will be able to make it pleasant for the plucky New Yorker. We will not mako another match until the affair with Ryan is over. If by any chance this match falls through we shall challenge George La blanche at once and put up a deposit to bind it. Kelliher means business, and when next he enters the ring for a glove contest he will be a better man than he ever was before. Ho is in training all the time and is sparring with one of tho cleverest light weights in this city." In conclusion Gill stated that he would nrobii-bly act as second for Kelliher in his coming contests.

II A RV.IKD'S ATHLETK9, To Show How the arioim Teams Train lint-ins the Winter. In tho Harvard gymnasium next Saturday afternoon there is to be a novel exhibition, tendered to the University crew by all the other athletic organizations in tho college. There will be regular exhibitions on the various apparatus in the gymnasium, and. in addition, all the athletic organizations will appear and show tho system as practised by them during the winter. An opportunity will thus be afforded to seo all the picked athletes in college la their respective departments, at one time.

The pian is a novel one. and has never before been tried at Harvard. There will be three university champion organizations, the crew, ball nine and lacrosse teams, and several crack class teams in the different lines. As there is to be no competition, but simply an exhibition, there will be no long and uninteresting contests, but things will be kept on the move. It is the only opportunity offered during tho year to see all Harvard's representative athletes at one time.

The following programme will be carried out: Horizontal bar, parallel bars, tum-bUnar, somersaults from springboard, heavy dumb-bells, swinging prize Mott Haven" team, in jumping, putting shot, pole vault and walking, exhibition fencing; '8(3 crew passing sixteen-pound shot, ono and two-hand motions '87 crew in light dumbbell exercise, '88 crew swinging Indian clubs; '80 crew, dumb-bell drill; University ball nine, pulley weights; University la-Crosse twelve, passing ball on lacrosse stick; foot ball eleven, passing foot ball; University crew, 200 strokes on rowing machines. BACisre in dories To IMny an Important Iart in Thin Season's Agnatic Kveuts, During the laLter part of last season several dory races took place between Cotter of Salem and Casey of South Boston. Two of these races were rowed in Salem, and the third came off In this city and was won by Casey. The races were novel, and were it not for the fact that the season was at its close, a number of interesting events would have taken place. This coming season promises to have among the interestiutr events a number of tiiese races, and many clever young fellows will make their first appearance as scullers in these "dories." The two leading men in races of this sort are undoubtedly Cotter of Salein and Jerry Casey.

Tho latter made great improvement in his last race with Cotter, and this year, it is expected, he will be much faster. It is mote than likely that a race will bo arrange! between these two early in the season. South Boston has a number of young men who will aopear in dory races, if opportunity- presents itself. Among the most prominent are Park Con-iev, who is a powerful fellow, possessed of great endurance, Walter Burke, Horace Sullivan, Matt Ward, and ono or two others. Billv Grilhn of Saiem, who is the backer oft said last night: "Dory racing has been popular for many years in Gloucester, Newburyport, Marblehead and other sea faring towns along the coast.

Tho men, as rule, rowed for small prizes and without any training for a race. The races between Cotter and Casey attracted yreat attention last year, and I am in hopes that tli i year dory racing will become one of tho popular local sports. Iam willing to back Cotter against any man intl.o world in best and best dories, to weigh not less than pounds, and to measure 20 feet in length, the race to be from one and one-half to three miles, either over the Salem or Charles river courses, for from $ftoo to B1000 a side. Arrangements can tie made by meeting me at Billy Howard's, on Green street, any time within four weeks. 10 Portlands at Haverhill.

Here she caught a little puff which had increased when she approached the bocalmed rieot to a good little breeze, ont died away completely at the edge of the smooth water, only to reappear 200 or 300 yards beyond. Down came the Phantom sailing at the rate of eight or nine knots, and carried her way directly through the midst of the helpless lloet which lay in her course. She held her way quite through the calm streak to the breeze beyond it, and smling on alone, won the race while the rest of the fleet lay like winged logs on the glassy sea.

In passing through tho tieet the Phantom barely escaped cutting down two yachts, one of thorn the Halcyon, and her course was at the time universally denounced. This was the only time that she aver beat tnci Halcyon in a regatta, and in cruises she was invariably left far astern. Testimonials to bo Tendered. Saturday a letter was sent to Pete McCoy requesting him to take a testimonial before he leaves this city. The letterspeaks of the plucky manner in which McCoy fought Dempsey, and concludes by calling upon the sporting fraternity of Boston to turn out In large numliers to make it a success.

The letter is signed by Mike. Sullivan, brother to John L. Sullivan James Keenan, Tim McCarthy, Jack Lynn, Councilman Billy Maboney, Johnny Murphy. Larry Sullivan, Billy Hogarty, Mike Gleason, Tom Gleason, Florence J. Sullivan, Tom Droban, James J.

Mike Mack, Martin Griffin, JoeP.Whelan, Charles Sexton, Dan Gill, Denny Pete Sullivan and about twenty-five, others, including members of theCribb and Athenian clubs. The exhibition will take place in about two weeks. It is expected that the wind up will be a four-round scientific exhibition between George La Blanco, "the and McCoy. John Carroll, the well-known book-maker, will be tendered a benefit at the Hub Athletic Club, Thursday- evening. March 25.

It will take the form ot a variety and athletic entertainment. "The Marine" will be present, and put on the gloves for the first time since his battle with Dempsey, The following talent will also take part in the programme: Denney Kelliher of Quincy, Jack illiams, Pete McCoy, Young Kerrigan, Johnnie Doherty, George Godfrey, Tommy Droban, Billy Frazier, Fred Plaisted and George W.

Boston, March 20. James Casey.

Boston to Have a Strong CrtcStst Club. A general meeting of the Boston Cricket Club will be held Monday evening, March 22. at the Cameron House, and will bo called to order promptly at 8 o'clock. The organization promises to be a very strong otie. and the eleven it can put into the field this summer should be able to hold its own almost anywhere.

It has five or six bowlers of the very iirst rank, and these will be supported by wicket-keepers with first rate records, while as a general fielding team it cannot bo surpassed. This excellent team has now been reinforced by the addition of the Well-known Chelsea player, John Keen, whose record with the old Arlingtons of Lawrence placed him well in tho front rank of New England hatters and bowlers. The crease is to be retttrfed, and a successful and brilliant season is expected on the old ground at Canibridgeport. Interstate Cricket Matches. A step in the direction of English county cricket, and what is a comparatively new phase in American cricket, is tho introduction this season of interstate contests, and these, probably in the future, will form an important part of the summer schedule.

Captain George Wright of tho New England team has received and answered a communication from New Jersey, proposing a two days' match in Newark, and a return one in Boston, between Massachusetts and New Jersey State elevens. The first of these matches will take place at Newark. N. about July 10. and it 18 proposed to play a New York State team on the same trip.

It is not improbable that a match at Philadelphia will be arranged, to follow the New York match. Cricket Echoes. Chelsea will probably have no club in tho field this summer. H.F.Perkins is the life of Medford cricket, and the Mystic club is likely to flourish under his captaincy. Broadbridge, an old English player of sixty years ago, was so fond of bis bat that he used it for a walking-slick.

If O'Hair, Keea and Roffo work together as well as they did in the old Arlington team there is every prospect that the Bostons will have a good record of games won. The Moncton, X. ground has been 10-turfed, and preparations are being made for a busy season. It is expected that in the near future tho intercolonial contests ill occur there. There is plenty of material in the Rhode Island clubs to form a good State eleven; and there is probably no man better able to handle the matter than ex-Secretary Wild of the Ash ton Club.

G. H. Taylor of the Franklin Trotting Park at Saugns would like to communicate with Lynn players and others, with the view of making the ground at the park headquarters of a good club. The Internationals of Lowell iiavo a good array of bowlers in Gath, Priestly. Cumber, Hood and Usher; and in batting they are one of tho strongest aggregations in New England, as they have an even batting team.

Advance sheets of Wright Ditson'a Base Ball and Cricket Guide show that it contains cricket matter of considerable interest, together with tables of matches plaved. and batting and bowling averages for 1885. A fielder Who expects to play in first-class matches in Australia can expect no mora consideration for dropping a rly that comes to him, from however high or far, than a batter for being bowled by a straight ball. He is supposed to be past that stage. An old Hampshire player named Brown was so swift it bow ler that on one occasion he broke a man's arm, while in one match lie broke two iiati in the hands of Lilly-white, and such was his speed that SIX long-stops were in liue, one behind the other.

Mr. Cumber, a new member of the Lowell Internationals, Will give a bat: to the player who has the best batting average at the close of tho season. Mr. artwright gives a prize of So for the best batting average, and Mr. T.

Gibson will give a bat to the bowler who takes three wickets three consecutive balls. Besides tho fixtures already announced for the Internationals of Lowell, matches have been arranged with Portsmouth and Dover, to be played on or about July 5 and The return matches will probably be played in September. The club will give two bats as prizes, one to the best average batter and one to the best average bowler. The season of the Internationals of Lowell will open with a scrub game on Fast day. It is not yet known who will compose the regular tea.ni, but it is probable that it will be made up from the following: E.

Sherwood, L. C. Gulliiio. P. C.

Lucius, T. Gibson, H. Cumber, H. Clifton, C. Hart well, M.

Smith, J. Priestly, It. Hood, J. Gibson, II. Murphy.

The secret of Australian bowling is practice. Whenever an Australian eleven disbands, and its members esolve into their respective clubs, they go down to practice in the ordinary way like any other first and second eleven members of their clubs. They bat their ten minutes, and then field and bowl till every one has batted ten minutes; or, 111 other words, they bat ten minutes, and then settle down to one hour's bard bowling and fielding.

auger for a few hours, and all the peoplo went out on tho cliffs and lieaches to watch the great ship, and to see hat would happen next. On tho end of tho low, sandy spit that forms one side of the harbor stood the little white tower known as Scituate light. In the house behind the lighthouse liel the keeper's family, consisting of himself, wile and several boys and girls. At the time the ship appeared the keeper was away, and there was no one ut home sae Mrs. Bates, the eldest daughter, Rebecca, then about 111 years old.

and Abigail, then aUmt 15 years of age, and two of the llttlo bovs. Rebecca had discovered the slop while she was up in the lighthouse tower p. dishing the retieetor. She at once descended the stoop stairs and sent the two Utile boys oil to the village to give the alarm. Inr an hour or two tho slop tacked and stood olf to sea.

then tacked again and made for tho shore. Men, women and chiluren al. hod the ship with anxious interest 'I he tele turned and began to How into the I arbor, The boats aground and on tin' flats floated, and those In deen water were swimming around their moorings. Now the soldiers would probably land. If tho 1 pie meant to save anything it was time to bo stirring.

Boats were hastily nut out from the wharf, and such clothing, nets, and other valuables as could lie handled ere brought ashore, loaded into hay carts and carried away. It was of nouse to resist. he soldiers, of course were armed, and if the people made a stand among the houses, that would not prevent the enemy from destroying the shipping in the harbor. A- the tide spread out over the sandy el it tilled the harbor, so that, instead of ii small channel, it I i 1 a wide and a itiful hay. The day was tine, and there was a gentle breeze rippling the water and making it sparkle in the sun.

The return of the legislative committee, which has been having a merry go round in its investigation of the cable systems of various cities and their enthusiastic praises of them again brings this matter prominently before the public. Tho question of improved transit levBaatoe should not bo confined to a discussion of the advantages ol elevated road or a surface one.

It may be that the time is not far distant when no rarface road will fully meet tho wants of the people of the city of Boston. But that is not the iuestion, for surface roads will be necessary, even if elevated or underground roads are con-itructed. rherefore tho matter resolves itself into a consideration of tho comparative merits of different surface systems. 1 here is a constantly increasing demand fpr something besides the uncertain and slow-running bone can. and yet tho people feel that anything which is to substantially revolutionize the passenger carrying tiatlic ol tins city should be carefully considered before it is adopted.

The only plun proposed that the stamp of genuineness and has acquired a reputation of years of use is the paple system. Iho general ignorance of this method of car propulsion does not indicate novelty, cable roads have been in sue essfui operation for manv years. As long ago as IMfi a patent was granted for practically the same method in use today, though of course the modem cable road has i in detail and utility vastly improved since then. When one analyses carefully the Objections made to the cable system i.e. are almost invariably found to vanish into the air as unfounded, and to be the result of ignorance and completely done away with by dern appliances.

Take for example the statement made few weeks go for the indirect intention of conveying an impression that the cable road was impracticable and expensive because, for-looth. tho wire rone imt ainan a ruption by rope-ladder elopements, and as the maids sat at their windows they would have only porpoises and codfish to ogle. Then, too, think how the world would be beautified by floating State Houses and City-Hall! The Common Council, for instance, could be turned loose in one of these floating palaces, towed out to sea two or three hundred miles, and left to wrangle over affairs of state without danger of offending the susceptibilities of a single constituent. No bills for coach hire, then, to anger taxpayers. Perhaps the best use of all to which this developed idea could be out would be the building of floating dwelling houses.

Of course only the rich could afford such a luxury, for luxurious it would surely be. The owner of a floating home would have to keep a good-sized tugooat to pull it round from place to place as fancy dictated. Now he could pass a winter in the Gulf of Mexico within easy distance of Havana. Anon he could summer in the Bay of Fundy. with beautiful Acadian landscapes about him when the fog permitted.

Occasionally he could take a trip to Bar Harbor or Newport. Having filled the larder to overflowing, he could cast loose in the Gulf stream and float slowly over to England, passing by the Orkney Isles if he chose and keeping on to Norway's icky shores. Then he could take a turn up the Baltic and inspect the Czar's city. Coming back he could anchor off the chalky cliffs of Dover and have London or Paris within a day's ride on either hand. As the cold came on ho could land and travel up the Rhine and down the Rhone till at Marseilles he met his house once more, the tug having pulled it around the Spanish peninsula.

Then he could spend a month or two oil Rome, and later whisk off for the Dardanelles and the Crescent. If he hadn't died of old ago by this time, he could continue along by Asia Minor's seven cities, pass Crete and stop off at Jerusulem. then pro-coed to Alexandria, and so on the Ulysses journey to the end of the chapter. water that it cannot be swayed to any extent by the waves. There is no doubt that such a system of light shins would be of incalculable benefit to "science, commerce and agriculture," and The Globe would not throw even a single tiny drop of cold water on the scheme, but on the contrary would venture to suggest possible extensions of the benefit to accrue to mankind from the idea.

For instance, if a ship built on this principle would accommodate ten people, why wouldn't one ten times as large accommodate a hundred? Then why couldn't it be used for a hotel? think of the delights of a summer hotel a thousand miles out to sea What an infinite chance for boating and bathing. The drainage would be perfect and diphtheria would be unknown. Salt air ever and always, no land breezes to roast one, no whistle of locomotive to disturb one's rest, and, best of all, nary askeeter! The salubrity of an ocean climate would soon restore shattered nerves and strengthen diseased lungs. No fear of shipwreck would make life uneasy, as it is for tin, se who are sent 011 long ocean voyages. The cares of the Busy world would intrude themselves only when the daily steamer dropped the mail bug and a newcomer or two, when the possibility for staring at and sizing up the latest arrival would be greater than at the most isolated summer resort on land.

It would be great fun to swing one's legs over the edge of tho deck and fish for sharks. Then, too, patties might be organized every day to go gunning for whales whenever the bell-boy, porched in the fore-top rig-ring of the lighthouse, shouted: "There she blows!" Diving apparatus could be provided so that a fellow might go down aud flirt with the mermaids whenever he chose. The landlord would know by caole from the next hotel whenever a storm was coming. Then he would have the uorters batten down the hatches, take a reef in the clothes-line, house the boats. "I don't care.

When he does this he will order a new boat suitable for rowing.

Each and every member in the club-house is anxious for the success of the eight this season, and feels very confident of the result. Among the men who will be in the eight are Dan Murphy, the champion amateur sculler of America. Mini Neilor, O'Neil and Captain Ike Houghton. There are a score of other good men to pick from.

As soon as the weather is warmer, the match talked of between this boat and Adrian Wilson's Larch moot flyer will be sailed off City Point. The American Yacht Club of Newburyport has elected the following ofiicers: Commodore, S. P. Pride; vice-commodore, D.

Bat even at this estimate it is only 20 per cent, of the expenditure to renew horses of sufficient number to run the cars necessary to do the same aim tint of business, hi addition to this cost of renewal of horses tho street railroads pay an average of about thirty-three cents per day for tho feeding and bedding of each horse. The cost of running a cable road is not increased in proportion with the amount of business done. he wear and tear on the apparatu frotn carves was formerly serious, but bus bee greatly decreased tiv the manner of attachment of the grips to the liottom of the cars so that they con-form automatically to any curve, and I he construction of the grip itself. he jaws of the latter are lined with soft and inexpensive metal, so that the wear comes on them and not on the steel able.

The cost of original construction is of course greater ban that of an ordinary shrface road, nut the saving in running expenses where a large business is done more than compensates for the Brst outlay. These facts are of little moment to the public, hut are important as refuting the erroneous statements that have been given to the press either by opponents ol the system or those who are Ignorant of tho facts. Thia'able system has been in successful operation in han Kraneiseo twelve years, in Chicago five years, in Philadelphia and Kansas ity and in other places for a greater or less time. In Kurope a cable road runs from Paris to Versailles and to Bt. Germata, while in London steep High-gato i-.

Tommy Hill, the youngest sculler in the club, will be its representative at the Jamaica Pond regatta on the "glorious Fourth." His boat is all ready to launch.

Hill is looked upon as a promising young SCUller, and his friends think that he will win the Jamaica pond race.
