TIE STRANGE PROCEEDINGS OF THE BODY
THE RELEASE OF THIS CAPTAIN.

THE STRANGE PROCEEDINGS OF THE BODY On
THE RELEASE OF THIS CAPTAIN.
The London PaN.IfaH Gazette gives the
following description Of the queer doings
OF the Salvaionists on the release OF their
leader from prison:
CAPTAIN Maycock, the Salvation Army
leader, has been released from Warwick
gaol, whare be was sent by bennington
magistrates last month in default OF paying
two guinness fine for obstructing the streets
with his ''army." Mrs. Maycock, ut the Sal
vationist meeting on Sunday afternoon,
declared 1t was divinely revealed TO
her that her husband was not receiving
medical treatment, and was sinking under
prison discipline and hardships. Finding
her forebodings verified, she paid the fine,
| believing he would have died before Mon
dav. On Monday evening Maycock entered
bennington, escorted by numerous Sympa-
| thizers and thousands of spectators. He
rode in an open carriage, accompanied by
| his wife and lieutenant bearing the regi
mental flag. Cheers were frequently given
for Maycock, occasionally mingled with
groans. At Salvation Factory, their meet
ing-placc, the speakers complained OF the
| bennington authorities prosecuting them
for doing good, while in Leeds and Lei.
ccster they were unmolested. MaycocI
said he had learned much during
three days incarceration in gaol, and
next Sunday night he would relate his eX.
pcrences OF prison life. A "squad" Of the
army, under the command Of q captain
who at intervals blew a trumpet as a "cal
to Sinners" went through the streets Of
Bermondsey, in London, on Tuesday night
preparatory to proceeding to the "Salva
ton Factory" to I" find peace" They SANG

From the IL 1ndon GioOcs StctOVsT1os .-.l
The latest reports from Naples represent
the railway destined to carry tourists TO the
top OF Yesuvius us progressing last toward
completion, and the walls OF the station
which forms It's terminus are already rising
above the ground. Tie line is to be laid
along the western slope OF the mountain,
and will be rather less than 1000 yards In
length. The station itself, which stands at
the bottom Of the volcanic cone, JIG $500
feet above the level OF the sea, aud the line
rises rapidly from thence to the verge OF
the crater, at an incline which averages
tifty.six feet in the 100, but reaches its
sieepest Part as much as sixty.three feet In
100. The construction OF the railway has
been matter OF serious debate, and it IL
| only after long consideration that the pro-
jectors determined upon the system plan
ned by the engineer, Oliyieri. According
to the principle adopted in this plan the
whole OF the inclined plane from top to
bottom Is covered With thick platform Of
wood, resting upon the lava and other
cr,imbling soil. which would OF itself be
much too unsteady to form a proper bed
| for the sleepers.
Above the cinders and detritus Of which
| the mountain sideis composed, the platform
viii be like a gigantic raft, and upon it the
rails will be laid with ease and regularity.
The wheels OF the carriages are TO be SO
firmly attached 10 the rails that they can
never jump or slip OF, and the trains are to
be drawn up by means OF two steel cables
worked by steam engine stationed at the
| bottom OF the volcano. They Will also be
provided with q brake so powerful that
| even in the unlikely case OF a hreakage OF
both cables they can be brought to stand
still very quickly, even in an incline OF 80
in 100 The only other difficulty which
faced the projectors of the new railway YVES
that OF water supply. for it was calculated
that the expense OF bringing from Rcsina
enough water to supply the engine would
run away with more than all tue profits that
could reasonably be expected. In order to
avoid this alternative two large reservoirs
are being constructed, which are expected,
| even under the peculiar circumstances OF
| the position, never to run dry.

An ACCOUNT OF THE LOST STEAMER.
NEW York, November s.-The. steamer
Champion was built for Cornelius Wander
biIt in 1850. He had intended to put her
in the carrying trade on the Pacific coast,
to connect with the railroad at the Isthmus
OF Panama by running up to San Francisco:
While going west through the Straits or
Magellan, and standing off the coast, she
ran on the rocks and punched hole IN nef
bottom; but the crew turned 10 and re-.
raired her by putting soft patches on her"
They relinauished the idea OF bringing her
around to San Francisco, and came back TO
New York. 1t was said at the time that Mr..
Vanderbilt felt that it was a good point TO
have all his ships at available points when
war would be declared, and the Champion
was not forgotten among his other YES
sels. When coming up the coast OF Brazil
she put into Rio and was thoroughly re-
paired. She arrived in New York previous
10 the declaration Of war. She was then
chartered by the War Department as a
transport ship to Port Royal and james
river. She was afterwards purchased br
~ r
W. Quintard. The Champion was rebuilt
and enlarged 10 1870, and thoroughly over
hauled in 1874, and new deck put on her.
The steamer was rated ). Her original tom
mage was 1852. but Of late was 1,418. She
had three decks and two masts, was built in
four compartments, and was brigantine
rugged. Her length was 234 feet, breadth
Of beam 81 feet, and depth of holds % feet.
She was equipped with beam-engine.

A good deal OF fun has been poked at the
Commissioners OF Agriculture for bis efforts
to introduce to cultivation in the northern
States varieties of sugar-cane, and it is true
that some of the experiments in that direc-
ton have failed. But not all Of them. Out
in Minnesota, for example, some OF the
farmers have got hold of 4 variety which
they call "amber cane," which thrives In
thar climate and produces an abundance OF
sugar OF frst-rate quality. The business
has proved so profitable that it is being
taken up by farmers who were unwilling
to risk anything until their ncighbors had
proved the value Of the crop, and now a
sugar refinery at Faribault has as much as
it can do to handle the home product.
Commissioner LIE Due is reported to have
said recently that there are good grounds
for believing that "before many years this
country will raise sugar to export"; and
this is not at all unlikely il cane-sugar grow
ing in the West is to prove money making
business, while beet-sugar growing Prom
ises to do we'll in the East.-Phttadelphla

New York Election.

NEW York, November 8.-Ibe Sun says
The vote for Lieutennnt-Goyernor, Secre'
tary OF State, Comptroller, Treasurer, and
Atorney-Gen is very close, both parties
concede. Returns are made with provoking
slowness, and from only a few counties has
the full vote been received.
CoInelPS plurality may reach 10000, and
it may be cut down to $4,000, but there is
little doubt but what it will range between
these figures.
There are enough missing returns to make
the Lieutcnant-G overnorship in doubt. The
Suns returns give a majority OF 2.162 for
Potter. These figures may be diminished
by official returns enough to elect Hoskias
but the Democrats still claim Potter's cleo
ton, and with seeming good reason.
The election of Horatio Seymour, Jr.,
Democrat), as State Engineer and Pur-
yeyor, seems to be conceded by both parties.
The best that can be said of the other
candidates is that the vote is in doubt, with
chances in favor OF Wadsworth's election
as Comptroller on the Republican ticket,
and Wards as Acknowledgement.
Carr's friends urge that be is running
enough ahead OF his ticket to insure bis
election as Secretary OF State.
The race between Mackin and Wendell
for Treasurer is very close. and the result
greatly in doubt.
ALBANY, N. Y, November Slowing to
the belief here among some Democrats that
the delay in counting the election returns
in various western counties in the State is
simply for the pHpoSc OF ''doctoring" re-
turns TO elect Republicans, most Of the
Democratic State nominees have Joined in
dispatch to personal friends in each couu-
ty asking their personal attendance at the
counting OF the votes By the boards OF SUI
pervisors OF counts. The gentlemen adj
dressed are among the most distinguished
Democrats in the State, and it is believed
BY the State officials that supervision by
such gentlemen as these may prevent any
miscounting.
