Plan for an Ocean Railway.

G. A. Bennett, of Racine, has pre-
pared a model for what he terms an
ocean railway. In consists of a cabin
placed upon a deck 30 feet long and IL
feet wide. Instead of resting on a
hull this rests on an endless chain of
floats or pontoons, 2 feet deep and |
foot wide, which lies crosswise under
the cabin. This chain is made to re
volye round large wheels, one at each
end of the car, by means of an engine,
SO that 1t resembles the horse-tread in
threshing machine. Half of the belt
is thus always in the water, forming a
foundation for the cabin or car to pass
over. By the continued rotation move
ment round the wheels, the sections, as
fast as they are released from the wa
ter at the stern, are carried over the
stern wheel, and forward between the
deck and cabin to the fore wheel,
where they are let down into the sea.
Mr.. Bennett intends trying TO cross the
Atlantic this fall. His boat has thirty
floats, with total buoyancy of 49,
tons the wheels are 50 feet in diane
ter, and make $50 revolutions min
ute. Allowing for resistance of the
atmosphere and water, he expects to
make thirty miles an hour easily.

Dead Shot for Insects.

Strong alum water is a sure death to
bugs of any description. Take two
pounds of pulverized or of crystal alum,
and dissolve in three quarts of boiling
water, allowing it to remain over the
fire until thoroughly dissolved. APP
ply, while hot, with a brush, or, what
is better, use a syringe to force the
liquid into the cracks of the walls or
bcdstead. The pulverized alum is
worth about 80 cents a pound, and that
in crystal from Is to 20--a cheap rem
edy. The latter requires little longer
time to dissolve. OF course an exper-
Iment to verify the claim above made,
can be made by employing a mere frac-
ton of the quantities above named. A
less perfect cure for insect pests is to
scatter the powdered alum freely in
places where they abide. Powdered
borax, scattered thinly where Croton
bugs and cockroaches travel or abide,
will expel them mt once. Ii is sure
expulsion for the Croton insect. Al
most all strong saline solutions are
eflicacious in the obstruction of these
usehold pests, which are both de.
structive aud annoying, and the mix
ture of alum or any other material need
not necessarily be hot

THE TURF.

The sum OF Forty Thousand Dollars.
The highest price ever paid for a
horse was that given for the Kansas
stallion, Smuggler At the personal
request of Mr.. l.. G. Bruce, of The
Turf, Field and Farm, the owner was
induced to take his horse from Kansas
to New York, and on the 28th of An
gust he was given trial at Prospect
Park. He was timed by Robert Bonner
and others, the first mile 2:19a, the
second in 2:21t, and the third in 2:2l,
making the last half of the last mile in
100. This was wonderful perform
ance, especially when we remember the
age of the horse, and take into consid-
Grafton the training he has had. He
carried full weight, and did his work
with comparative ease. The price asked
for Smuggler was $4,000, and not be.
ing able to End purchaser at
this figure, Capt. Tough, his owner,
decided to take him back to Kansas,
but just upon the eve of the wonderful
young stallion being returned to his
western home, Col. IL. S. Russell, of
Home Farm, Milton, Mass, upon a

pany with Mr.. Bruce, Col. Russell
called on Capt. Tough. Negotiations
were begun. the next day the purchase
was consummated, notwithstanding nc
consideration was pending, and Oh
Wednesday evening last he was trans
ported to his eastern quarters neal
Boston, Mass.
Smuggler was foaled April Is, 1866
bred by John nj. Morgan, near Column
bus, Franklin county, Ohio, and taken
to Kansas with his dam, when two
years old. he is now powerfully
built animal of rich brown color
marked with white strip down his
face and over his nose. There is also
a little white just above the coronet OF
the right hind foot, and a small patch
of white on his left shoulder, and one
lear the withers.
Smuggler's dam was a large brown
pacing mare, by Tuckahoe, and hi;
grandam was fine and well-bred road
mare from Kentucky. In the pedigree
of Smuggler he goes back to Florizel
on both the dam aud sire's side
through Tuckahce, he being owl
brother to the dam of Boston. HI

Interest in the Tichborne case, which
IS now pending in the court in London,
seems TO have revived lately, especially
in some of the newspapers in this
country, which is probably attribute.
BILE in part to the knowledge OF the fact
that counsel ON both sides have been
diligently ut work in this country
gathering evidence of even remote
bearing upon the case. The records OF
the Treasury Department have been
searched, and it is found that there
were two American vessels named
Osprey '.or "Ospray" in 1854, but
no evidence indicating that either OF
them were at Melbourne, Australia.
during that year, or previous thereto,
has been procured. IL will be remem-
bered that the individual who claims
TO be Sir Roger Tichborne asserted
that he was taken from wreck and
carried TO Melbourne in 1854 by an
American vessel called the Osprey. As
to the existence of such vessel no sat.
i7iactory was adduced at the original
trial of the case two years ago.

English authorities estimate that the
averages OF number of years demon
strate that heretofore the worlds pro-
ductlon OF breadstufi were always equal
to the demand, aud that the deficiency
OF one nation is always eked out by the
surplus OF another. There is no an
parent reason why this theory should
not be July confirmed by the expe-
rlence OF the current harvest year.
There is now an immense and almost
unparalleled activity in the grain trade
OF the world. At this port
the demand for grain tonnage
far exceeds the supply. Chicago
and nearly all the Western receiving
and distributing ports are literally
oyerf1owlng with gram, and the supply
Keeps pouring in from the interior in
undlmlnlshed supply. In Montreal the
exports ne beyond all precedent. Cali
lorna IS shipping off her immense sur
plus, which will certainly not be under
that OF last year, as fast as the too
limited supply of vessels admits. That
the United States and Canada shall
largely increase their sales of bread.
stnffs to Europe during the present
year may be regarded as quite certain.
Russia, however, is the great wheat
producing country of the world, her
supplies to England averaging last year
nearly one half of the entire REQUIRE
ments OF thecountry, against only one
NTH furnished by the United Statas.
The capacity of Russia to increase her
supplies to the proportion requisite TO
meet the demand Tor the current year
seems to be involved in some doubt.
According TO advices from Taganrog.
the opinion about the new crop has
gradually become less favorable, and tits
now thought that tie crop will be
barely an average one. The grain is
said to be good, though rather small.
and is mostly in good condition. The
early autumn shipments from the sea
OF Azof, as well as from Odessa. are
expected to be smaller than usual. At
Odessa there has been an animated
demand at rising prices. The advance,
however, may be attributed to the com.
petition OF shippers TO secure cargoes,
the season for full supplies not having
yet arrived. Practically, the supply OF
breadstuffs from the vast empire OF
Russia seems to depend on the ques-
ton of railroad transportation and ton.
mage.
The grain trade for 1874 promises,
then, to be very active, with the mar
kets IN favor of producers. Bat al.
though the worlds demands are likely
60 be so far above the average, there
seems to be no reason 20 apprehend
that the supply will not be equal to it.
The very knowledge of the
necessities of France and England
and the other European nations will
bring out every available bushel of
grain in the world. The immense and
flow of breadstufs from
a thousand different sources affords at
once q guarantee for the future, an
incentive to legitimate business enter
prise, and warning agaInstspecuIation

SENATOR CARPENTER.

The Hon. NJ. H. Carpenter, United
States Senator from Wisconsin, las
recently visited New Orleans. and in
response to an invitation delivered an
address to the people in Exposition
Hall. The speech is below the aver
age of the usual crossroads stump Or
atory, as indeed is every thing we have
ever seen from this individual. He
says Congress will order new election,
If we behave ourselves; but il is very
evident that lie is secretly in the inter-
est of those who are determined that
Louisiana shall not have her rights.
He was dined and wined, ard ridden
out 10y kellogg, Antoine, .Jonhert, and
all the other nigsers, and was evident
~ more. pleased With their attentions
than those of respectable men. 1t was
during his stay that Grant issued his
proclamation and Kellogg announced
his blood and thunder programme; aud
all the Indications point to Carpenter
as the secret adviser Of both. He will
doubtless go home, aud, filed with all
the lies he got from the Radical officials,
do his part towards rivetting this Rad
ical il'famy on us Tor all time to come.
Carpenter, however, uttered one
truth without intending it as such. He
said there was rs much slavery iu Lou.
isiana to-day as there was twenty
years ago. He meant that his niger
friends were in slavery to the whites
which is Il lie. But, If he will take the
trouble to ipvesti gate the matter he
will find that the carpet haggers and
negroes combined are exercising more
CALLING mastery over the whites, than
any set of masters ever used stree tie
first negro was brought to this CONT
ncnt. And this has been brought
about by the acts of the party Of which
Mr.. Carpenter is member. And yet,
if the whites make even a feeble at
tempt to rid themselves of this vassal-
ace, they are told 10y this Senator to
behave themselves and "let tile id

The Races.

The first of our races under the new
regime came off, on last Saturday, and
were largely attended. We were forci-
bly, reminded Of the Oltlen days on
seeing present so many familiar faces,
and the fine collection of Rapides' best
people grazing the occasion with their
presence and appreciation. Even a
few OF the faircst of Gods creation
were lending charm to the festive
sports. Refreshments were bountifully
supplied, and the best things of good
caterers gave life to the festive scene.
A branch Of the "IIOrns,'a detachment
from Levin's Saloon with Sod. Water
and Ice Cream, and "Sul's Last Chance"
were all out at the course, and aided
materially to the excitement OF the
sport.
Several races, at different distances,
were ran-all fairly contested. The first
and man race, distance one thousand
yards, brought t" the contest three fine
entries: Carnal's bay horse, Sanfortl's
mare, and Jollnson's hay colt. There
was lively betting on this race and
considerable excitement consequent
thereto, but the result was much dis
appointment t" large portion of the
spectators. From some cause, much
to the regret Of all aud a damper to
the race, Jnhnsol's fine colt flew the
track at one third of the distance aud
left the other two Dags to contest for
the prize, which resulted in Carnal's
horse winning the race, proving victor
Of tho day in the time vt l:O4.
As we have mentioned two other ra-
ces came off, which We believe were
worth seeing, and we regret We have
not the material ut hand to go into
special particulars. One of our May
showers came along in time to inter-
ttre with much of the projected tun,
and started most Of the spectators
home. The track was in admirable
fix. considering the very short time the
managers had to work in. We are
glad to know this is but beginning of
tho prog, anime on the Rapites Course,
the management contemplate having a
Fair and Tournament, besides Races,
early in the Fall. We trust our peo-
pie will encourage and aid the enter
prise.
