AFTER THE RACE.
A Cynic's View or the Contest.
From the st. Loui. Dcmocra,.l

The enthusiasm about that great race
having passed, a cynical individual may
be permitted 20 ask, What was II all
Did Capt. Cannon display any astoni-h-
ing heroism2 II there was no risk Of
life or limb or anything else, where was
the moral magnitude Of the feat? And If
there ,cas any risk of life, wha, honor
IL there In risking for no worthy OBJ
ject? To get steamboat from New Or
leans to this city quicker than any other
steamboat had made the trip--that was
the object. Did IL add materially 10 the
happiness Of mankind 10 know that the

hours and twcnt y-scven minutes, instead
Of three days, twenty-onc hours and hfty-
eight minutes If the time Of ordinary
travel between here and New Orleans could
have been diminished without risk, the
world would have been the gamer. But
as II stands, who gains? II the captain
risked the lives Of others and his own, had
he worthy motive? And If he risked
nothing, where is the heroi.m, where
the wonder Of the exploit? Then the en-
thusiasm! Now that is absolutely incom-
prohcnsible to the aforesaid cynic. \ sharp
race between two high mettled horses,
splendid Ia action, each ,traiHing every
nerve isT tine sight-whcn il isn't won by
jockeys. a vigorous light between two
powerful men, each displaying
some skill, endurance and pluck, does nj
least appeal 10 the animal nature some
what-when the ropes are not cut. a
sharp contest ut base ball between two
well trained clubs, each skillful and strong,
has some interest - when the umpire
doesn't win the game. Even "a steamboat
race, with the two powerful boats side by
side or near each other, IL il stirs no other
sympathy gives one u sense of the cnor-
nous power en,laved by human skin. But

assailed by all foul smells, and scorched

THE r. e. LEE.
How She Compares with the Natehcn.
From the Cincinnati Commercial

From the Cincinnati Commercial
The boilers of the Lee are considerably
larger in diameter than those Of the
Natchoz, and being made Of lighter iron
are not calculated TO carry the steam pres
sure usual with boats of her class !
have been informed that her usual work
ing pressure does not exceed one hundred
or one hundred and twenty pounds per
square inch. Her cylinders have each n
diameter of forty inches, and are the
largest high pressure enginesevcr used ON
Western steamers. The Ice was con-
strnctcd with the view Of working u
moderate steam pressure on large piston
The Natchcz's boilers are of a less di-
ameter than those of the Lee, and made Of
heavier Iron. Her cylinders each have
diameter of thirty-four inches, with the
working steam pressure, rs allowed by
law, of one hundred and thirty-ninc
pounds per square inch, her proportions
Of power being such u. to enable her ut all
times to maintain that pressure.
Assuming that both boats, when racing
would use all the steam they could gcner-
ate, the limited diameter of the Natchez's
cylinders would soon attain their maxi
mum, while the six inches excessive diam
eter Of the Lees cylinders would be able

could make. The Lee has proven remark
ably fast, with comparatively moderat
steam pressure, and it is reasonable to as
sumo that every additional pound Of steam
pressure beyond what she actually car
ries would materially increase her speed.
Such being tho case, the Lee could easily
beat the Natchez.
am of the opinion that the wheels Of
thc Natchcz are too large for her cylinders.
They are forty-four feet In diameter, with
twenty-five arms, working fifteen and II
half feet BUCKETS thirty inches in width,
and were calculated to make seventeen re-
volutons per minute, but, | have been
informed, have never done so some fifteen
revolutions being the excess.
The X. 4. Lees wheel is six feet less in
diameter, with twelve inches more in
length and two inches less in middle of
buckets, consequently she should make u
greater number of revolutions per minute.
The dimensions Of the Lees wheel are ;
Diameter, ,hir,y-eight feet; length OF
bucket, sixteen and half feet middle Of
bucket, twenty-eight inches; number OF
arms, twenty-five.

PULPITS At AUCTION.

Our secular as well as religious readers will
doubtless take an interest in a queer dispute
that is going on among our English cousins in
Parliament as it affords significant index to
the state not only of piety but civilization in
that little isle We all know that the duty of
conveying the bread of life to perishing souls
has ordinarily in England been committed to
the hands of the third sons of families among
the gentry; the Lords service being lucrative,
and only less respectable in public esteem
than that of the Kings, for which the second
son was destined, or the keeping up the fam
lily name and estates, for which highest duty
the heir was providentially born. Matters be-
ing thus pleasantly arranged, no difficulty usu-
ally has occurred. When in case the third son
failed to be born, the church, with the human
beings who came there to know what they
should do to be saved, was handed over for
instruction to any penniless cousin or stranger
who could quietly pay a quid pro quo for
the place. 1t was expedient that the re-
cipient of the favor should be a gentleman
and an agreeable visitor at the Hall and if no
tongue of fire sat upon his head OF rushing,
mighty wind from heaven filed the place where
he spake, it was rathera cause for congratuation.
Such things doubtless suited Apostolic times,
but would be rather outr6 nowadays and out
of place in society whose creed, as Emerson
says, is "By taste we are saved.n Lately, how
ever, gentlemen with livings in their gift, the
incumbents of which were creeping near their
graves from old age or disease, have made q
practice of advertising the sales of next
presentations in The Ecclesiastical Gazette,
which serves as the Bishops official organ,
urging young men of means to invest in this
manner, grading the price by the probable
chances of the incumbents early death, and
mentioning also as additional inducements to
undertake the service of God ut such and
such places, and the drawing of souls to Christ,
the modern cOnveniences of the parsonage, its
nearness to good game preserves or a trout
stream on the glebe land. The advertisements
might have been written by Mrs. farley her
sell. Walk UP, gentlemen. The duty 3 very

The sensational story regarding massacre
of Jews in ROumania which has excited the
sympathies of Congress is now pronounced
without truth, as was suspected at the time by
those who saw in the dispatch as published the
obvious marks of manufacture in this CITY, lis
publication was an additional instance OF the
recklessness with which startling statements are
circulated by irresponsible associations, which,
unable to buy the news, find ready resource
in inventing it. 1t is also an Illustration
of the readiness with which men who
are careful to accept only the most positive
evidence of their fellows consent to be deceived
by the most improbable stories, coming to them
in newspapers. The statement as published
was probably elaborated from a brief paragraph
which appeared last week in Hebrew paper
published in this city, which reported few
persons wounded in a recent outbreak In Rou-
mania.
