THE JUSIATA.
The Rescuing Vessel Ready for Sea.

The Rescuing Vessel Ready for Sea.
Never was any vessel fitted out for duty with
more prOmptness than the United States steamer
Juniata. From the moment that orders were
received to get her in readiness for the humane
object projected by the government the greatest
zeal and activity were displayed on board. With
the exception of two guns all the armament was
removed, and the rapidly with which she was
coaied anAl provisoned Tor the cruise is worthy OF
note, taking into account the circumlocutory
temperament of the Navy Yard officers. Despite
the cramming OF the coal punkers and the crowdng
OF the deck with bags the Junata looks as trim as
possible under the circumstances Mr.. Moses
Il. Grinneu visited the vessel on Friday after
noon and presented Commander Braine with some
admirable charts OF the region where the Juntata
Is bound They are considered very servlceabe.
some Of them having been used to advantage by
well known and distinguished explorers. The pilot
of the Juniata Is Captain James M. Buddingt0n the
uncle Of the present commander OF the Poaris,
Stephen o. Buddingt0n. 1t was stated some time
ago, In connection with the rescue OF Captain
Tyson and party that Captain stephen o. Budding
ton was the person who rescued the abandoned
British ship Resolute in Davis Straits, sent out in
search OF the remains OF Sir John Franklin, the
fact being that the hero OF the occasion was the
present pilot OF the Junata, who. then on
whaling voyage, conveyed her to New London.
Yesterday afternoon Commander Braine proceeded
with the Junara to the usual anchorage of the
Battery, and will probably leave tor his destination
tomorrow morning.

TILE START.
The course was formed by stationng three boats
at the point or an acute angied triangle, the two
longest sides OF which were about one mile III
length. The course was to be sailed over twice,
equalling more than four miles for the entire race.
The prize was silver cup, presented by CQmmo-
uore Schuyler valued at about one hundred dol
lars, and to be awarded to the first boat according
to the rules OF time allowance adopted by the
Club. The signal for preparation was sounded
from the Judges boat about five minutes OF four
O'Clock. The start was to be q flying one
and the signal for the start was sounded at one
minute past TOUR O'Clock. The Gertrude was the
first to get OF and crossed the line at An.
2m. 45s., followed by the Gretchen ten
seconds later. The Tttania, Chip, Rover, Sar-
dine and warus followed at Intervals Of a
few minutes. After passing the frst boat
the Gretchen carried away her jib, and although
she proceeded some distance further and did re-
markably good sailing, Mr.. schuyler, her screw,n
was forced to abandon the race. This was very
generally regretted, as the Gretchen was general

A Queer Trick.

Our foreign exchanges say that an
American advanturess, giving her name
as Maria Grainderge, has been arrested
in Paris on the following charges of i'm
pudent and ingenious swindling. She
appeared very well dressed, and with q
handsome baby in her arms, at the
house Of wealthy Palisians, asking to see
the proprietor. As soon as she was ad
lnitted 10 his presence, she would rush at
him exclaiming;
Traitor wretch villain have |
found yon at lastT
At the same time the handsome baby,
having been trained for that purpose,
would extend its little arms toward the
the astonished gentleman and cry:
Papa dear papal"
1t may be imagined that papa pre-
ferred to give the swindler some money,
In order TO make her leave the house.
When she was arrested at her residence
in the Rue DENVER, no fewer than seven
trained babies were found in the house,
also nine thousand to ten thousand
fy1ocs in money. Mile Grainderge,
upon being pressed by the examining
magistrate, confessed dat her real name
was Oaks; that she was native OF New
York, and that she had been before at
The ST. Lazare prison. The Paris as
sizes found her guilty, aud she was sent
for seven years 10 New Caledonia
