The Steamer Great Eastern-Proft

The Steamer Great EaStern-Proft
and Loss.-The New York Herald
gives the following estimate of the
profit and loss account of the trip of the
Great Eastern to this country
The ship left Southampton ON the
10th of June, and she will leave this
country for England on the 10th of Au
gust, which, allowing ten days for her
return trip, would make the period of
the whole voyage just seventy days,
Her expenses average about $1,000 a
day, or probably not quite so much, at
which rate the expense of the voyage
would be $4,000, or we will say in
round numbers, $4,000. She will
have received before the voyage is
completed, about IA : following sums
from various sources: From 10000
visitors in New York, $4,000 from
her trip to Cape May, including tickets
and profits from the restaurant, about
$15, 1000; from visitors at that point, say
$4,000 more; from her visit to Annapo-
rs, $4,000 in coal ; from visitors at
Annapolis, Baltimore, Norfolk, &C.,
$l5 900; her freight home to England
will probably pay $4,000, and her pas
sengers and other sources about $lO,-
OO0-making her total receipts $780,
600. Thus she will have made clear
profit of $4,000 by her first Atlantic
voyage.
So far the Great Eastern has not
done badly; but the question now is,
what is to be done with her swhen she
gets back to England! She is too large
for the commerce Of the present day,
and will hardly pay as q passenger and
freight carrier. AS a troop ship, calcu'
lated to throw ten thousand men into
any given point in an emergency, she
is Invaluable, and to this service she
will probably be devoted ultimately.

Vo1cano in Polk County, Ws.-We
copy the following from the Chicago
journal:
One of the strangest phenomena il,
nature has recently developed itself
near the Horse Lake, Polk county, Wis.
Flamossof the fire came up through tho
earth in several localities, and one mans
barn had been burnt down by it.
Strange to say, the fire can only be seen
in the day time, the earth in the evening
bearing close resemblance to phos.
phorus. The air smells as if impreg.
mated with sulphur. The most remark
able feature in the case Is the fact that
all wooden articles in houses located
near by taking fire, although there is
nothing visible to ignite them. Our
readers will very likely think this is 9
hoax, but we have the words of several
citizens Of Polk county for authority.
