A Boat Drawn by Il Kite.

Mr.. John F. Lacey yesterday success
fully accomplished the feat of crossing
Long Island Sound in twclvc-foot row.
boat drawn by a kite. The kite was ten
feet high by eight feet wide, and was at
tached to the forward part of the boat
by strong cord, about 600 feet of which
was let out The wind was blowing
northwest ut about two o'clock y. NJ,
when the start was made from Sea Side
Park, Mr.. Lacey being accompanied by
MIR. Z. A. Booth, of this city, who held
the rudder. The start was witnessed by
large number of people, and the sue
cess or failure of the enterprise was the
subject of much comment and spccula-
ton. The fresh breeze carried the boat
steadily out into the sound, and in a di
rcctiOn toward Point jefferson, L. l. A
sailboat accompanied the kite propelled
adventures, but the strength of the kite
was so great that the sailbOat was left
behind before the Long Island shore was
reached. When about halfway across
the sound the wind hauled to the west,
but the kite continued to draw quite as
well as before, and Port Jefferson harbor
was made in three hours and quarter
after leaving Sea Side Park. The distance
is twenty-five miles, and the boat drawn
by the kite reached the shore at least Il
mile ahead of the sailbOat which accom-
panied it. Old Field light was the point
sailed for, and it was made exactly, and
thus on the voyage over about four points
to the windward were made. Messrs.
Lacy and Booth landed at Port Jefferson
and their novel craft created quite SEN
sation among the hundreds who throngcd
to the shore to meet them. AS the sue
cess of the experiment had been pro-
nounced impossible the achievement was
very gratifying and demonstrated that
the theories of would-bc philosophers
were all wide from the mark The kite was
covered with fine white cotton cloth and
had a tail of " listing" 100 feet in length.
Mr.. Lacey reported to the two local
newspapers at Port Jefferson and re-
manned all night at that place, returning
to Bridgeport on the steamer Spitfirc this
morning, bringing the kite with him. No
other motive power than the kite was
used to draw the boat through the water
and there was not the least tendency to
fail during the entire trip over.
The success of this trip will prompt
many similar adventures, it is probable,
and already trips to Montauk and other
points on the Long Island coast are
talked of. Mr.. Lacey is confident that
he can guide Il boat nearly as closely as
if run by sails, and he is ready to under
take still further excursions to demon
stratc the feasibility of this method of
observation-disclosures, Conn. (Sept. 9,

A Plucky Woman.

Cleveland lady distinguished herself
or GOODNESS and determination while in
Canada last week, and the story is well
worth telling, showing, as it does, that
American pluck is not ut il discount even
among the Kanucks
A little son of the lady was playing in
a yard in Canadian village that shall
be namcless, when a large dog that was
passing in company with farmer, ran
into the yard and bit the child severely
in one of It's arms. The brute then ran
off and followed his master away. The
mother learned of the little ones injury,
and endcavOred to get some one to follow
the dog and put him out of the world,
but none of the men to whom she al,-
pealcd would do as she desired to have
them.
Bound to get vengeance on the dog,
she made inquiries rs to where his mas
ter lived, and discovered that his home
was at u distance of eleven miles. Arm
ing herself with revolver, she Travelled
that distance, sought an interview and
demanded that the dog should be shot,
but the owner refused to accede thereto.
TO cut the matter short, the lady walked
into the yard, empticd two barrels of her
revolver at the dog and walked off, leav-
ing the animal stretched out on the turf,
and impressing the farmer and his fam.
lily with the promptness and quality of
American pluck. Yesterday morning
she reached Cleveland and had the child
wound cared for by Dr. A. p butcher
The injury is not considered dangerous.

4 Husband Falls in Love with His Wife,
At the gaming table the Duke of Rich

At the gaming table the Duke of Rich
mond incurred q debt of honor to Lord
Cardigan, which he was unable to pay,
and it was agreed that his son, lad of
fifteen, who bore the title of Earl of
March, should marry still younger
daughter of Lord Cardigan. The boy
was sent for from school and the girl from
the nursery; Il clergyman was in attend
ancc, and the children were told that
they were to he married ON the spot.
The girl had nothing to say; the boy
cried out: "Thcy surely are not going
to marry me to that dowdy" But mar
ried they were. A post-chaisc was at
the door; the bridegroom was packed off
with his tutor to make the grand tour,
and the bride was sent back to her moth
or. Lord March remained abroad for
several years, after which he returned
to London, a well-educatcd, handsome
young man, but in no haste to meet his
wife, whom he had never seen except
upon the occasion of their hasty mar
riage. So he tarried in London to amuse
himself. One night ut the opera his at
tcntiOn was attracted to beautiful
young lady in one of the boxes. "WhO
is that" he asked of gentleman beside
him. "fou must be stranger in Lon
don," was the reply, mot to know
the toast of the town-the beauti-
full Lady March," The Earl went
straight to the box, announced himself
and claimed his bride. The two fell in
love with each other on the spot, and

RELIGIOUS and Educational.

Archbishop Nc loskey, of New York,
during the last year administered the
site of confirmation to $1,000 people.
1t is said that there is no supervision
of educational matters in Delaware, and
no authorized reports in regard to it. In
1870 there were "a, 100 persons over ten
years of age who could not write.
"A. F. Hostetter, in the National
Sunday-School Teacher, suggests that a
Sunday school established by Ludwig
Hacker at Ephrata, Pa, in 174O, was the
first Sunday school in America. The
school was continued until 1777, when
the war broke it up.
The Congregationalists are looking
forward with interest to their grand
National Council at New Haven the last
of September. The principal question
before it will be the advisability of con-
sOlidating under fewer heads the benev-
client societies of the church.
I'm Iceland the Lutheran is the pre-
vailing church. There are about $4,000
people in the island, with 321 churches
among them. These churches are under
the pastoral care of 1S9 clergymcn, most
of whom are very poorly paid, the aver
age ministerial salary being much less
there than in our country, and with no
$4,000 salaries to count against the
starvation prices paid to the poorest.
Most of the Iceland ministers are COM

is it not about time that teachers
should abandon the merely textbook
method of hearing Rotations? In the
large cities better methods are prevail
ing. Indeed, a teacher who insists upon
the commitment and rehearsal of the
words of a textbook verbatim will find
little encouragement in the large cities :;
but we fear that in the country the text
book servitude still maintains its place.

UnWhOlesOme Meat.

Mr.. G. T. Angel, in the iSaniMriun for
September, urges forcibly the truth that
cruelty to the animal Injuries the meat,
asserting that overlooking, worrying, tor.
turing, over-exciting or fatiguing animals
renders the flesh unwholesome and par
ticularly liable to rapid putrefaction.
He thinks that when public opinion shall
demand the same inspection of animals,
both before and after they are killed,
now practiced in Continental Euro.
pean cities, and by the Jews every.
where, and the inspector shall stand
at our cattle markets, side by side
with the Jewish Rabbi, to condemn
and cause to be destroyed the meat of
every diseased animal, then animals will
be brought to our markets without cruel
ty, and the Christian will eat as good
meat as the Jew.
Cattle cars have already been invented
and tried with entire success, in which
cattle can be carried thousands of miles
without food, water and rest, and arrive
in good condition. When these cars
come into general use, says Mr.. Angel,
railroads will make more money, because
one-third to one-half more cars will be
required to transport the same number
of cattle; dealers will make more money,
because Saying nothing of animals that
die on the passage) an enormous waste
of the best parts of the meat will be
saved, and this saving will not only pay
the increased charges of Transporting
but also leave an immense margin OF
gain; and consumers, getting wholesome
meats at One-half to three-fourths the
prices they now pay for diseased meats,
will buy larger quantities, and 50 in.
crease the trade.
All that is needed is a public opinion
which shall require these forms of slaugh.
tering to be generally practiced; and tina,
faithful inspectors shall be stationed al
the larger slaughter-houses to see that
they are properly carried out, and all an
finals properly fed and watered up to
the time of killing; then the sixty mill.
