How THE WOMEN WERE SAVED AT BEAuroRr.

How THE WOMEN WERE SAVED AT BEAUFORT.
A Beaufort IN. C.) correspondent OF the New
York Herald furnishes an account of the saving
OF the female guests OF the Atlantic Hotel In
that town, which was entirely destroyed by
Mondays great storm. At O'Clock In the
morning the guests commenced to leave the
doomed building, and at that time the bridge
connecting the hotel with the billiard room was
wreck, the waves beating from two to three
feet above the walk. The male guests with
the help of the good ciCizens of the town, Sc
cured the walk with ropes and commenced TO
save the women. The first lady to be carried
out was Miss Gales, OF Raleigh, n. c., daughter
OF the late SeatOn Gales, about thirteen years
old. Two gentlemen would take charge OF
a lady, AID together they would-under the
most perilous circumstances, the wind
blowing gale and the waves dashing with the
utmost fury against them-make their way 10
the billiard saloon, and then the ladies would 90
through to be received at the northern door By
two more gentlemen, who were up to their
waists In water, and thence they would be taken
to terra firma. Nearly three -fourths of the
guests were either ladies or children. The child
rem were nearly all saved by colored boatman
named James Davis, and Jim tells with great
gustO that Governor Jarvis had promised that
he shall never 60 to the penitentfary as long as
he is governor. There is not relic OF the build
Ing left, except the remains OF one chimney
and that Is not three feet above the ground.

SfOn.

TORONTO, August IA special cablegram
from London to the Globe says:-The colonial
secretary has not found 1t advisable to recon-
mend q guarantee for the Canadian Pacific
railway extension desired by Sir John Mac
Donald. but imperial support may be given to
the proposed extension In another FORM A
part OF the scheme laid before Sir Michael d.
Hicks Beach suggested an appointment of an
imperial commissioner to act In conjunction
with the dominion commission to have Charge
OF the lands hypothecated for the construction
OF the railway. The Canadian representatives
now here have impressed upon the government
the Importance OF having an imperial commits
sion cooperate with the dominion commission.
The amount OF money required to complete the
line along the shore OF Lake Superior to Thun-
Ger Bay and thence to Red River is estimated
at SIS, 900. Without imperial guarantee q
new loan may be obtained by the Canadian
government to complete the line, but 1t would
add strength to the financial position II the
imperial commissioner should take part in the
administration OF lands or revenues upon
which to loan may be based. The enterprise
has been represented as great emigration
scheme, in which the mother country is chiefly
interested. Under these circumstances the Ca
madam ministers have asked for the appoint
ment OF an imperial commissioner. whether the
government approve or continue TO refuse
guarantee.

OyBR-BREBDTNG OF RACE HoRsBs.-In the
attempt to breed fast trotters for the track,
breeders have to remarkable degree fn New
England lost sight OF or neglected the Art of
breeding good roadsters and the popular horses
for all work, whether before q buggy or q
plough, coupe or moving machine, horse
rake, tedder, or whatever else an ordinary
farmer mechanic, merchant or tradesmAn
wishes to DO with his horse. There are such
horses, but the supply comes far short OF the
demand, and not from New England as former.
u. A class OF horses OF the weight Of about
one thousand pounds, each severally, Q little
more or less, that can trot ten miles an hour on
good road without fretting, sweating or urging,
Is q breed OF horses very much needed In New
England, both In the country and fn the city.
The MorgaDS and the Black Hawks once
seemed to I'LL this need and want, especially
the class first named. The demand for Morgan
horses was once unparalleled, and the supply
was forthcoming; for II was easy for jockeys %
get up goods to order, and the business OF man
ufacturiDg pedigrees for those in want OF them
is not new. While the Morgans were goo0
roaoSterS, they were, as class, "fast trotten, v
as that phrase has been long understood. Yet
they were free, good drivers, stylish and wen
adapted to the climate ana keeping OF the East
ern states The Morgans are Sttn In favor with
many, and are becoming more and more 20 IA
some sections. The Messenger blood is as well
suited, and perhaps the best, for the breeding
OF r0adSterS as well as fast trotters OF any that
courses In the veins OF the horse family. II
breeders would turn their attention In this d.
rection they would ind IL more generally profit
able than the uncertain business OF rearing fast
trotters.-ILette 20 the Boston 1raretler.
