Gar and Machine shops Organizing
AGAR ard machine shops company is be-
ing organized in Dallas, with the capital
stock hxeu at $l5O,0OO End 500 per share.
The stock will be offered TO the people Of the
city, and it is hoped will be taken with that
liberality such an enterprise so emnently
deserves. The originators have already
been offered the construction of fifty cars as
soon as the shops are ready. In view of the
many already existing roads running to Dali
las, and the number projected, this Is most
timely MS we'll as much needed undertaking.
1t would seem there is a positive field al
ready opened for it, as it is morally certain
that such works, organized upon a proper
plan and run by men who understand Il
business, would pay.

THE FASTEST YACHT.
A LITTLE CRAFT THAT WILL MAKE
TWENTY MILES AN HOUR.

A LITTLE CRAFT THAT WILL MAKE
TWENTY MILES AN HOUR.
MeR at Sandy Hook and New
York Quarantine, who have for
many years noted the speed of steam
vessels making their way up the
bay, were surprised at the speed
made recently by new steam yacht
that came into port. She was the
Yosemite, built by John Roach for
William Belden, who was formerly
partner of Jay Gould, and her rate
while coming up the bay was about
twenty miles per hour. Those who
saw her on her way to Roach's yard
at the foot of Ninth street, East
river, say that she ran away from
every craft on that water. An old
shipbuilder said last evening that
the Yosemite was able to make
twenty geographical niles an hour,
and outsteam any other yacht at1oat
| 100 miles in twenty-four hours. He
said that in trial trip on the Della
ware river she made seventy miles
in four hours.
The Yosemite is built almost en-
tirely of iron. She is 200 feet long
and "a feet in the beam. She has al
iron spar deck covering the vessel
from stem to stern, and is schooner
rugged. She has high-pressure
cylinder 28A inches in diameter, anc
two low pressure cylinders, each o
40 inches, with a stroke OF piston o
33 inches. The propeller wheel il
IL feet in diameter, with IL fee
pitch.
The appointments Of the vesse
are first class in all respects. Th'
main saloon is furnished in polished
hard woods, aud the trimmings ar
silver-plated. Heavy mirrors adorl
the bulkhead. Adjoining each o
the staterooms is q bathroom. u
deck are the pilot box and tn
smoking and cardroom, built OF ma
hogany. She carries four boats
Her sides have a tumble-in of abou
twelve inches, and her smokestac
and masts rake aft. Mr.. Belde
will pass the coming season o
board the Yosemite among tn
Windward Islands.

Snow commenced to fall between two

GLADSTONE AS A LAND LEA
GIJER

Mr.. Gladstone's letter to Boycott does
not overflow with sympathy for the Ir-
ism landlords. In fact, 1t is very posi-
tive and emphatic Iebuff, and, as such,
will doubtless elevate Boycott to niche
of lucrative martyrdom among his class
and its upholders. The sentiment of
the aristocratic and shopkeeping ele-
ments in England will probably be con-
centrated against the Premier because
of his attitude on Irish affairs, and he
will be widely denounced for "joining
the Land League" as he has virtually
done.
In humanity and sagacious statesman
ship Gladstone is generation ahead OF
the bulk of the British Parliament, and
he realizes that Irish discomfort cannot
be stamped out by brute force. Wheth.
er he can bring majority of Parlia
ment to the same way of thinking re,
mains to be seen; but the day will surel,
come when Englishmen will point bach
with pride to Gladstone, as they nov
do to Chatham for condemning the wa
upon the American Colonies,-N. Y
