The o.. ). STEAMER PR~INCETON.-It was
no later than day before yesterday, that, in
crossing the Brooklyn ferry, we were startled
by an apparition of a large vessel moving ra-
pidly towards us, without sail or steam-tug.
We soon became aware that it was the magic
ship; and | must say, that she presented a
most beautiful sight to us. Our position was
fortunate for a thorough and close (outside)
view Of her, and, as she swept by US, we look
ed in vain for any appearance of steam or
machinery; neither smoke nor pipe was visi-
ble-a slight quivering amidships, like the
heated air above a stove, was all that indicat-
ed her propelling principle; and, dropping
close under her stern, we saw neither rutie
nor rudder, but a heel as round and clean as
that Of a youthful belle. "Whcre's the
screw" asked Il dozen voices. "How is
she steeredi" What a model! What a
wonder! The enthusiasm of the crowd on
board our %ferry-boat could not be restrained.
and "Three cheers for the Princeton!'' re-
sounded far and wide. The officer on her
quarterback raised his trumpet to his lips,
and instantly a band of agile fellows sprang
into the rigging; at another signal they
cheered together most energetically-having
the advantage of us in this department very
decidedly; but we replied to them with ga
good will" if not "all together" and our tu-
multi of hurrahs lasted till we had got well in
to the slip.--.Nafional H~teAigencer.

The FRENCH MAIL STEAM SHIps.-The
Journal des Debats states that the French
Transatlantic steamers will begin to ply in a
few months. There are to be four grand
lines and four secondary lines.
The first grand line is to be from Havre to
New York; the second, from Bordeaux to
Martinique, touching at Corunna and the
Azores, in the outward voyage, and returning
direct; the third, from Marseilles to Marti-
nique touching at Barcelona, Cadiz, and Ma
deira, in the outward voyage, and returning
direct" the fourth, from st. Nazaire to Rio
Janerio, touching at Lisbon, Goree, Pernam-
buco, Bahia, on the outward voyage, and re-
turning direct.
The first secondary line is to be from Mar
Unique to the Havana, touching at st. Thorn
as, Porto Rico, Cape Hayden, and San Jago
de Cuba, both going and returning; the Sec
ond, from Havana to New Orleans, touching
at Vera Cruz, Tampic, Galveston, and New
Orleans, both going and returning; the third,
from Martinique to Laguayra, touching at
Chagres, C~arthagena, and Santa Martha, on
the outward voyage, and returning direct;
the fourth is from Rio Janerio to the ports of
La Plata, Montevidco and Buenos Ayres.

CHAGR S

Extract from a letter published in the New-York
Tribune, dated
NORFOLK, VA, August "a, 1913.
Surely there was not Il feeling of regret in
our ship at leaving Chagres: Hackluy's Head
or the Zaharas could not be less inviting to
reasoning or lile-loving mortals than is this
gateway of the two worlds. Poverty and dis
ease are here in most odious forms, although
they are much mitigated by a dullness of ma
tural feeling, and an inVincible incidence.
They are too lazy to sufler-those who.have
arrived at maturity-but the children have
not acquired this happy insensibility.
There seem to be no politics in Chagres-
no aristocracy-no apparent relation of SUI
perior and inferior. All mix together
Whites and Blacks, Indians and Creoles,
Mestizoes and Mulattoes-indiscriminately;
but ] saw a degree of system in their mode of
choosing mates, the blacklist negroes choos-
ing the whitest women, and the white men in
variably selecting the darkest kind of ladies
for their wives. Collateral with this fact |
noticed others which ! could mention with
less propriety, but | will observe that the off
spring Of this intermiyture are often hand
some, having generally, however, a strange
disproportion, amounting frequently to de-
formity.
1t is perhaps IA benevolent disposition of
Nature which prevents the increase of Cha
gres, in the presumed natural proportion; and
| am told that Of every ten children born nine
die before the age Of ten years; after that
