SECOND DISPATCH.
The third race of the International
course between the Sappho and Cambria
commenced yesterday. The two yachts
were In excellent trim, the American
craft especially displaying her beautiful
model to advantage.
The third race had been arranged to be
competed over q triangular course, each
side OF which was twenty miles in length.
The Yachts started under suspiciOus
weather with everything favorable for
a close contest. At the commencement Of
the race the two vessels we're about even,
but the distance widened, and late yes
terdav afternoon when the boats disap-
peared from view the SapphO was ahead,
leading the Cambria, which vessel was
rapidly 0verhauling her antagonist. The
Cambria continued TO gain upon the Sap
pho in the 1lrst twenty miles Of the
dead beat to Windward, at the commence
Loent Of the race, weathered the SapphO
1lnder " bon Church cliffs and between
the cliffs and Strathmores bill, tackled
70 the windward Of her fourteen times in
making along the island shore, IN short
tacks, reaching from Stealheme's TO the
marx vessel WHICH tohASb was ANSCnf'eAAy ~
TO complete the first twenty miles of the
angle. The SapphO, from her greater
length. farreached and weathered on the
Cambria. taking the wind out Of her sails.
The advantage gained by this nautical
trick enabled the Sappho to outsall her
competitor, and the impetus carried the
Sappho around the stake boat vessel three
minutes and 20 seconds in advance OF the
Cambria. The yachts were for a long time
becalmed, lYing-to in the midst OF a dense
fog. The result Of the first part Of the
course 20 windWard was q damper 70 the
ard6r of the partisans Of the Cam orla,
who now saw that their taYorite had no
chance for success and that victory ior
the Americans was fOregone CONCLUSION.
After this there was an abatement rom
the interest which had attended the hrsi
Of the contest, and all betting was unfa-
vorable 20 the Cambria. There now re-
manned but the second and third angles
OF the triangular shaped course 70
ecnpete for and II was expected that
some excitement would be Infused into
the remainder Of the race: that on round
ing the stake boat the remainder would be
sailed with the wind. Ifit had held there
would probably have been some dne sail
ing, but IL Veered, and succession o
light airs, followed by calm, marned tht
expectations Of those who were accompa-
nyiDg the race on a steamer. The con
cluding portion was merely dull, unin
teresting sail, the SapphO completing th'
race ana winning the course al 9:4O thil
morning. The mark steamer discovered
the Cambria in dead calm, and taking
Der in tow conveyed her into port.

Niagara Falls.

The beauty of mathematics will beap-
parent to the naked eye from calcula-
tions which we find in Harper's Maga-
zine. The writer has been to Niagara
Falls and he informs US as to some little
matters which it is well to fully under
stand. "As the fall recedes little more
than foot year-about a mile" says
the contributor, "by examining the
character of the rocks and the dip of the
strata, we can predict the appearance
which Niagara will present for 200 Gen.
turies, providing that in the meantime
no change takes place in the present or
der of Nature. Thus, in 5000 years the
main fall will be little above the head
of Goat Island; the American fall will
have disappeared, and Goat Island will
be an island no longer. The height of
the fall will then be twenty feet less
than it now is. Another 5,000years and
the height of the fall will then be redu-
ced by forty more feet. In 10000 more
years the gorge will have heightened
back to the head of the rapids, and all
that constitutes the present Niagara will
have disappeared. There will be no
great cataract; but in its place n rapid,
with a descent of 250 feet in four miles,
1t may be well enough to discourage
sensitive Americans regarding their na-
tural curiosity; but there are vast num-
bers who will exclaim of the person who
worked out the above that they are, con-

American Slang

The utter ignorance of the English OF
the Specification of American slang ex-
pressions, often Causes some curious
scenes between them and Yankee buy
ers in England, who seem to think that
because their language generally is uu-
derstoOd, all their Ameri ,an idioms will
be. An expert buyer, junior partner in
one of our large American firms at re-
cent visit to his correspondent in an
English manufacturing city, was COM
plimented by the senior partner of the
house, who insisted on personally show
ing goods to the American purchasers.
"TEere, SIR" said Dowlas. throwing
out roll of goods, "what do you think
of that?"
"Oh, that's played out" said the
American.
"It's what ?n said Bull.
"It's played, l tell you, +" said his GUS
toner:
"Played-ah! really-we call it pldd
h'yar in England; but this isn't pied
you know"
NO" said the Yankee, ~ don't mean
pLad. L mean ter say it's gone Ip."
"Oh, no." said the Britisher, mot at
all; it's not gone up; quite to the contrary.
We have taken off from the price,"
"Over the left; its three pence too
high now"

The prelates of the Papal States are
one-fifth of the Council; their popula-

one-third of the Council, though voting
for a Catholic population only one
eighth of the whole. Add to these the

The Government pay seventeen mill
lions of its debt during the last month,
besides discharging all current obIiga-
tions! 1t is most encouraging state
ment, and will do more toward promo
ting the credit of the Government than
nineteen-twentieths of the financial dis
cussions in the last Congress. But our
friends must remember that these splen-
did monthly reductions of the debt can
not be expected to continue under redu-
ced taxation. To us it seems wiser that
the burdens should still be temporarily
borne, to the end that our credit might
be more firmly established, the ease of
funding the debt at a lower rate of in
