The wolf is the most cunning of
beasts. When they find themselves

The like parts are exact duplicates of each other

THE DRAFT ATTACHMENT is a peculiar
and valuable feature of the Clipper Machine. 1t
is applied to the front end OF the frame and be-
low the pole and consequently it has front and
upward draft so that the inside shoe passes light
ly over the ground and the troublesome leading
wheel in front of the shoe is not necessary.
THE CUTTING APPARATUS of the Clipper

of the adjusting lever, the driver is enabled,
while the machine is in motion, to raise or low

10 THE EDIT(

70 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The Atlantic Yacht Club have just done very
sensible thing In adopting definite standard for the
apportonment of sail os their yachts. The standard
they have adopted is only definite, but it repre-
sents precisely the resistance q vessel encounters IN
passing through the water-viz., the immersed mid
ship section.
The old method OF allowing SAN Tor regatta occa-
sions is to give boat twenty-five feet long 100 square
feet OF sai twenty-six feet long, 500; twentyseven
feet long, 600; twentyeight feet long, ESQ., and on
increasing the amount OF sail fifty feet for every foot
IN length twenty-eight feet And then the long
vessels must allow the short ones so many minutes
length. Now, were the regattas simply scrub races,
and the first boat In winner, standard would he
necessary; but these allowances often make a boat
the fourth or nth one in the winner.
The Atlantic club mas appreciated the absurdity in
the rule that gives boat excess OF power and then
makes IL give away some OF It's time, and believe
that TO make the fair the sail should be proper
toned to the boat. So, at meeting held last night
10 consider the subject resolution was passed In
StruCting the Committee on Measurement to report
the proper number OF square feet OF canvas to be
allowed to o square foot Of Immersed midship
ton. The open yachts are now using about 100 feet
OF sail TO one OF section, which although too large
for sea-g0inq vessels, is a very good allowance Tor
yachts built expressly for large sails.
This move Il one IN the right direction and II s TO
be hoped that other clubs Will adopt similar mea-
sures IL has been urged by few for year or more,
and NJ first encountered most determined opposition
by conservative members and Others, who feared
their heavily canyased boats would suffer; but at
the meeting last night but two voices opposed the
measure Of course the regulation does not require
the yachts TO have sails To correspond exactly with
time, and If they fall short they win be allowed.

INDUCED IN here AT present. | am informed by a

the 29th informs us that tranquility exists through
out the island except In Villa Clara, where riot
existed and the Governor not equal TO the occa-
sion. The same journal states that Senior Correa, one
Of the Peace Commissioners, was more fortunate in
Nuevltas than Seior Armaseappears to have been in
Gbara, there being every prospect OF the Drotners
Arrange submitting. General Quesada, however,
vas opposed 10 any arrangement whatever Like
the insurgents of Bayamo his resolution Is "all or

Through sources favorable to the revolution

the DISASTER TO 1uE FRENCH STEAMER pIRllas.

we have az last received the details OF tine disaster
TO the steamer Perere ON her late voyage om Havre
towards New York. From letters published in the
HERALD yesterday we learn that the Perelre had en-
countered heavy westerly gales and head seas,
against which she had made good progress Tor five
days. and far west as longitude forty degrees and
thirtynve minutes. There az two P. NJ. on the 2lst
rltimo she was boarded by terrific head sea- which
swept everything on her deck as far art as the fun
ne broke in the forward deck, and nearly filed the
cabins and stoke hole The wave which enected this
destruction is described as one Of extraordinary
magnitude, and the great mass Of 1t appears to
have fallen with crushing weight upon the
forward body of the steamer We can well
understand that for q few minutes the
situation OF the Perelre very alarming The sud-
denness OF the shock, the crash OF the breaking
decks falling spars the burst OF vapor from the
stoke hole and engine room and the uncertainty as
to the actual amount OF damage which the ship and
engines had sustained, must all have served to
heghten and intensity the excitement and alarm OF
the moment. II certainly an occasion which called
prompt exhibition OF COURAGE, skill and resor
luton the part of Captain DucheSne. his officers
and crew, and II IS very gratifying 10 know that they
were fully equal TO the emergency, and exhibited
courage and good conduct which excited the adrnl-
ration and gratitude OF the passengers on board.
The decks and companion coverings forward being
partially destroyed there was very great danger In
keeping her head 10 sea or IN attempting
to keep her course 10 The westward. Captain Du-
cnesne Immediately determined 10 wear her round,
somewhat perilous nanceuyre with a long snip IKE
the Pereire in such heavy sea and In her crippled
condition II was, however, successfully accoii-
plished. aud there was then no better alternative
than running 10 the eastward, before The wind and
sea. The passengers united Ia testimonial TO the
quick decision, knowledge, consuminate talent.
lntrepdity and sang iOtd Of Captain Duchesne dur
ing the trying moments OF danger''-a verdict which
are quite sure does simple justice 10 the gallant
captain, who has on more Than one occasion exhb
tied the highest qualities OF Stewardship We are
very glad 70 learn from Hayre that the Pere're was
not damaged IN her hull or engines beyond the
damage 70 her decks, and that she Will able to re-
sumo her place in the line within lew weeks.

About two ago scoundrel entered the once
of the Park National Bank and with piece OF iron
dashed to atoms plate OF glass forming the front
Of one OF the desks. Instantly he put bis hand
through the opening seized bills valued at s3,o3s
and escaped to the street. 1t was about MONDAY,
and he was pursued and arrested Immediately and
the money recovered. A few days afterwards he
was tried and sentenced to i've years. imprisonment
at sing sing.
When captured he gave ms name to the officials
as francis Il. Pinto, and under that cognomen was
