A sALBoAT TO Cross the OcEAN.-The

binary sailing boat, we'll known on the river
Spree, will start from the JauuoWilz bridge for

to Liverpool. and from Liverpool across the
Atlantic. to return through the West Indian
Archipelago to Lisbon, and theme, direct to
Hamburg and inland 10 Berko. The first
thought of the undertaking was at dinner of
the Berlin Sailing Club. on the successful ocean
voyage Of two Engishmen or Americans in q
boat Of l6 feet in length. A Berlin banker
ventured the opinion that DO German would
dare to undertake such voyage. Another
memb,r, who was formerly the captain Of a

would not shrink from the .proey from Berlin

GARFIELD AS A CANAL BOY.
"Reminiscences of Old Capt. Meyers. Wha
First Gave Him Work.

"Reminiscences Of Old Capt. Meyers. VIII"
First Gave Him Work.
New York Times.
Mr.. Johnathan Myers, whose office is
at No. $50 Monticello avenue, Jersey
City, 30 odd years ago was the captain of
canal boat on the Ohio canal He it
was who gave the first employment to
"Jim" Garfield, as he was then known,
poor but bright and intelligent lad of
thirteen. A Times reporter called on
Mr.. Myers few days ago, and the fol-
lowing conversation occurred concerning
the boy:
''Mr. Myers" asked the reporter, "will
you be kind enough to state what You
know concerning young Garfield while
he was in your employment MS driver
OF your boat?"
"He was o driver for me on the Ohio
canal" replied Mr.. Myers. II have
watched his career ever since he left me,
and have felt very much interested III
him and gratitied to see What he has
achieved. The first time he ran for the
Legislature of Ohio he was iii my district
and I voted for him. After that I
moved east, and that is the only time l
ever voted for him. When he left me he
did not boat any more. It is mistake
about him ever being steersman.
When he was in my employ he was not
more than thirteen years of age. [ re.
member well when he APPLIED to me for a
job on my boat. He was stout healthy
boy, ind his frank, open countenance
impressed me SO much that I al
once employed him. He was always full
of fun, and exceedingly good natured. ]
never saw him mad. He was with me
about three months. He was always very
attentive to his business. He was also q
great boy to read. If he was not busy
he was always reading. One day as We
were going up the canal, he came to mt
and said that he would like to get place
where he could work and go to school
knew of doctor blythe name of Rob
inson, who lived near me, and was il
need of a boy to attend to his horse, AM
do chores about the place. told Jim
he had better go up and try the doctor
and if be had not got o boy he hat
better get the place. I disliked t,
part with him, but I saw he was too in
telligent lad to be driving canal boat
He went up;and the Doctor 'froze' to hin
at once. The doctor was what yol
might call minister. He is a Camp
beilite, and very good man indeed
During the first winter Jim was wit

after he got converted they .froze' t
him tighter than ever. When sprin
came Jim wanted to get some wor

Sioux City Journal.
DIR. Bnrdick, of the Vermillion Repub-
lican, who was i'll town yesterday, is
confident that Col. John l.. Jolley of
Vermillion is the dusky steed in the Da-
kota delegate race. The doctor says that
Clay county will instruct its delegates
for the handsome colonel, and that I'm
ion, Lincoln and Turner counties will
most likely follow in the wake Of Clay
Yankton county, DIR. Burdick thought
would continue to lay low, and go for

he would have enough votes to carry

WONDERS OF THE BAD LANDS.
Mandan Criterion.

MHnuHH CflttflOn.
II. G. Newport informs us that in the
bad lands there are hundreds OF petrified
strmpsof trees from six to eight feet in
diameter. They are encountered in the
excavations, and are very troublesome.
as they can only be removed by blasting.
They are so hard that it is u, difficult
matter to blast them small pieces only
being broken of by each blast. There
is large tree near Engineer Keith's
camp one end of which is petrified as
hard rs flint; the other end so soft as to
be easily cut with knife. The bark
remaining on some of the stumps resem-
bles the bark Of pine trees, and indicates
that there existed there at one time a
magnificent pine forest. In other places
impressions of leaves are found in the
clay forty feet below the surface.

first saw him."
"All I remember is that he was very
poor boy, and that was very favorabiy
impressed with him. These canal boys
were generally a shiftless lot of fellows,
and it was very hard work to get good
boy. Our boats were different then from
what they are now. We used to have
them fitted up nicely to carry passen-
gers rs well as freight. Ny wife used to
be on the boat with me, and she thought
q good deal of Jim"
