A Man who Is Going to be Dropped
Into the Ocean.

Paul Boyton ia the name Of dar
ing individual who is to be dropped
into the ocean, 200 miles from the
land. He is now at Atlantic City, n.
j :, where he is under an engagement
with the Camden and Atlantic Rail
road Company, to take charge Of the
life guard established there He is
an intelligent young man of about
twenty-scven. of average size and we'll
developed. The Merriman Iiie-saving
suit in which he will make his haz.
ardous experiment, consists of panta-
looms and boots, and a jacket with
hood attached. Seven small tubes
with mouth pieces are connected with
air chambers in different portions of
the dress The hood, as it becomes
inflated is drawn tightly over the
face, leaving the eyes, nose and mouth
visable, and making perfect air pill
low for the head, which is not only
comfortable, but also serves to keep
the face constantly above the waves
without the slightest exertion. G. S.
Mcrriman of New York, the patentee
of the life dress, has offered $500 to
Mr.. Boyton to make sea voyage in
his suit in order to demonstrate to the
public its merits as life preserver.
He has accepted the proposal, and
on or about the 25th of December he
will be carried from New York by an
outward bound steamer to a distance
| Of not less than 200 miles from land
when he will be dropped and left to
the mercy of the waves until he shall
meet with some passing vessel. He
will carry with him in rubber bag
sufficient rations, consisting of dried
meats, etc, for one week, as we'll as a
good quantity of fresh water. He will
also carry signal lights and flags, with
a sectional staff twelve feet long for
raising them, all of which are to be
slowed ava, in the unlimited portals
IF the rubber bag, which is about two
feet square, and is of little or no in
! convenience, strapped to and foated
at the side of the swimmer. This
feat may be considered by many as de-
liberately challenging death, but Mr.
Boyton is very sanguine of success
and even says he would willingly al.
low himself to be left thousand miles
out if necessary, without the slightes
fear regarding his safe recovery.

The following is an abstract from
letter received recently by. Marshal
Packard, from parish in the interior
OF Louisiana, published in our dis
patches recently:
The whites, by their policy of vio-
lence and their assassinations, have
changed the campaign to one of revo-
luton, and openly declare that the
time has come when Republican dare
not say he owes allegiance to that par
ty. This was the answer to me from a
committee calling on me demanding
that l, with other prominent Republi-
cans, should publish cards declaring
that We would not take any active part
in the election I, with several of my
friends (named) }, have had to succumb
to this demand. They made re-
sign. 1t is we'll he did, for his life,
with ours, was in danger.

General Butler explains his connec-
ton with the Kellogg government in
Louisiana as shown by his letter cap
tured by the Penn usurpers. He was,
it appears. retained to appear before
the Supreme Court to argue against
granting the petition of the McEnery
party to have Kellogg prohibited from
taking possession of the government,
and to prohibit Dprell from taking
any further steps in the matter in his
court" All these proceedings were
had and the case argued before the
question came upin Congress. 1t was
a personal matter of kellogg $, and
upon his representation that his ex-
penses in the matter had been very
heavy. Butler accepted less fee than
he thought his services worth.

Miss Sedwick has asserted that the
more intelligent woman becomes,
other things being equal, the more ju
diciously she will manage her domes-

the great principles OF morals; phllos-
ophy and human happiness, the more
importance she will attach to her sta
ton and the name of a good house
keeper 1t is only the frivolous, and
those who have been specifically ed

thing which is calculated to make
people love home, and be contented

mere announcement of the laying of the
corner stone of this building, on Man.
haitian Square, New York, few days
ago, gives no just idea of the magni-
tude of the enterprise. The building
was begun last Fall, and will be COM
pleted eighteen months hence, and will
be twenty-five feet longer than the Cap
itol at Washington. Many distin-
guished persons were present to witness
the laying of the corner stone. Presi-
dent Grant received from the Supervis-
ing Architect, Julius Keinskeytz, sill
yer trowel, with the inscription stating
that it was presentedto President Grant
on this occasion. Mortar was laid
down, and the President fattened it
out, the stone was lowered, and the
President gave it three taps. Mr.. Stew
art then announced the stone laid, and
Rev. DR.. Potter pronounced the bene-
diction. The Museum will cost Sc, OOO,-

The " Social" QUEsr1oN.-Mrs. Vic

Francisco upon her specially - social
freedom. She draws large audiences,
and has received many dattering notices
from the press, who generally differ
with her, however, as to the means of
reformation suggested as the only solu-
ton of the problem. She certainly
states many unpalatable truths. and
lifts the veil from evils of alarming
magnitude which have crept into the
social fabric, and tito be expected. there
fore, that her mission is an unpopular
one. She will probably extend her
visit to the Sound, when all will be e1-
able to hear and determine for them
selves the merits or dement's of her pc
culiar creed.

ings ago, the love-lorn celestial who at
temptedtom marry an Acknowledged beauty
against her will, in moment of utter
despair, sold his queue to a party Of
hilarious jokers, who Immediately sew
cred the distinctive national appendage
from the scalp Of the amorous copper
head. That tail has ever since been per-
forming an active part in our local his
tory. A dispute as to its ownership
arose, and at one time lawsuit was inn
minent to test the rights of property.
Papers were issued and served, and half
a dozen lawyers were porting over the in
tricacies of aquestion SO new, in some of
its features, to the annals of iurispru-
dence. The prospects of fee were.
however suddenly blasted by compro-
mise between the high contending par
ties. The terms of the agreement were
that each of the owners should sulren-
der his right to the quene, and that it
should be sold at auction for the benefit
of the railroad. Accordingly the event
was announced by poster to take place
on Thursday evening, in front of Hiltzs
beer-hall:- AS was anticipated, large
crowd assembled and the bidding was
spirited. The queue was finally knocked
off to Mr.. Hiltz at $65. Thus it will be
seen that even as worthless an object
as Chinaman's queue may be made to
serve a goodpurpose. What he will do
with it, is the ripple which now agitates
popular opinion.
