A MILE A MINUTE.
ola.Time Ice-Yachting ON the North
River.
livingston Freeman.l

Yesterday and to-day passengers over the
Hudson River Railroad witnessed a lively
scene on the river, at and near Poughkeepsie.
The wind was brisk and q number. Of Ice.
yachts were on the ice, which was in good
condition for the sailing Of the novel crafts.
While train was making its ten minutes
stop for refreshments at the Poughkeepsie
station, which, by the way, boasts one Of the
very best railroad restaurants In the country.
a native, well known to be up In ice-yacht lore,
was interviewed. and he said the yachts had
made speed Of mile minute yesterday,
and some, In former times. had even been
known to 60 faster than that; in fact, In
miles an hour, an ice-boat has been known to
oUTsTRIP THE WIND.
that is, ran out OF the wind Mentioning
this fact to resident he spun this yarn:
Many years ago Capt A. l.. Anderson owned
. celebrated sailboat named Gazelle, and one
winter his brother Nathan mounted the Ga
parties who enjoyed sails In the Gazelle that
winter. Being at Saugerties one day the
wind came out northeast and blew gale, and
when the Gazelle ran out of Saugerties
Creek homeward bound, it was decided that
Hank Van Bramer, a noted North river skip
per Of those days, should hold a watch over
the boat from Saugerties Lighthouse to the
one at the mouth OF Rondout creek. Accord
ingly the Gazelle made stretch up the river
toward Maiden SO .b as TO come ,h down and pass
the wind blowing piper just over the quar-
ter, and as she flew past Saugerties light
Mate" who had the tiller, sang out "Timew
/ was passenger on that SAIL and the shores
appeared like two blue ribbons, the noise
made by the flying boat was
LIKE THE HUM OF A LARGE TOP.
And at times, when heavier puff OF wind
than usual struck the boat, a long distance
would be run on one runner. The ice was
smooth, and so strong that the four-hOrse
mail-coaches between Albany and New York
used the river as thOroughfare all the way
10 Poughkeepsie and when the Gazelle rushed
past the Roundout lighthouse and Mate"
again called out Timer Hank Van Bramer's
eyes We're so filled with tears that he couldn't
see tne ilgures on the watch-face, but the boat
vas gradually brought by the wind, luffed
~, am stopped, when the tears were swabbed
i moh uanRs eyes and the time noted was
5usI nine minutes since leaving Saugerties
HRht-nouse which, by allowing two minutes
1or bringing the boat by the wind, lnffinU up
ana getting 1t stopped, would make the rum
hlng tifne seven minutes for the ten miles.
ana when II Is remembered that tha GazaIie
was not an Ice boat, but a saii.hoat nountad
on what looked like huge hand lnd Win
plank runners shod with half ronnd iro, wv
ning the boats entire length, II saen,s ~
more speed Is obtained by havin,o eonis .lie

A Church, . Going Horse.
columbus {Ga.) EnQuirer.l


We have been told of many intelli
gent mules and horses. One case we re
member of mule going into black
smiths shop to have nail pulled from
his foot is only equaled by story of a
religious horse that we were told of YES
terday. He is owned by Mr.. Alexander,
of Oswichee, Ala, who rides him to
church ON preaching days. which is twice
a month. On other Sundays he is turned
out to Craze, and it is on these days he
is so religious. He goes down to church,
stops at the tree where he is generally
tied when there is preaching and, with
his head toward the church, remains
about an hour and half. He then
walks leisurely home. This is fact, and
will be vouched for by any of the people
of Oswichee.

Adventure with a Bear.

lNcoISctoNH ktOi.l hlHei.l
On Wednesday night last our newly
elected Sheriff, John C. DeVotie ia COM
pany with J. MS. Eagan, had occasion
to go over to Geneva on business. After
going above timber line about 100 feet
they had the pleasure of meeting a bear
on the trail, and as both parties wanted
to pass each other, they stopped for con-
sultation. Devote aud Eagan each hav-
ing a small pistol and one bottle of in
vgorating cordial, they concluded to
show fight and accordingly lay down and
faced their opponent, holding on to their
horses as they did 50. Eagan held his pis-
tol in one hand and the cordial in the
other, and remarked to Devote that he in
tended to hit the bear over the head and
blind him, if possible, with the liquor,
and then shoot him at his leisure.
The bear must have dropped on their
little game, as he concluded to divide the
trail with them and passed by without
any serious encounter This occurred
about II o'clock at night Although it
was pretty dark, they could see that his
bearship was big one and are well salts
fled at their fortunate escape. The bears
politics are unknown as the boys did not
think to inquire-and besides, as the elec-
ton was over he couldn't have voted any
how, although, if all reports are true he
had more right to vote in this county
than had Mexican residents of Gilpin
County. Devote says that if he had
been sworn in he should have arrested
Bruih as highwayman, and brought
him in ANYWAY,

The story comes from Hartford of a
penurious farmer, who has had three
wives. 1t is stated that he ordered of
his farm sister of NJ. because she ate
too many eggs. No. 2 had been his SER
want girl, and refused to work longer at
low wages. On the way to the depot he
said: "Willry0 stay if l will marry
YOU" Yes,i answered, and he is said
to have chuckled over his cheap bargain,
as she was a hard worker. No. 8, who
was wooed when No. 2 died, was a
widow and dress maker, who owed con-
siderable money. By State law hus-

Some female philanthropist in Chicago
being instigated thereto by a desire to
promote harmony, and not by financial
considerations, has organized Servant
girl reform" whose chief feature is that
all servants are hereafter to be paid the
same wages for the same sort of work,
regardless of experience, skill or value.
For instance, in families of eight or ten,
cooks are to have 81 week, whether
they are worth it Or not; in families of
five or six, So; in small families, where
the ladies of the house assist So 30.
This arrangement will be very nice for
incompetent or indolent servants, but it
does not seem to offer high premium
for intelligence, special training, fidelity
and industry.
