cause she had ceased cohabiting with him. and

COURTNEY's ''RIG" FOR THE POTOMAC RACE
Something wonderful 10 the way of a rowing
Geyice is 10 be used by Courtney In the forth
coming boat race on the Potomac according to
Boston Herald correspondent. who says:
I'VE entered the boat house, and Courtney
closed the door and locked 1t against inlruderS
lie took a scull from Its resting place and
placed Il right side UP on pair OF SawhOrSeS
The reporter examined II sharply, and. with
CourtneyS explanations, az once Saw its Utility
Courtney dwelt at considerable length upon the
invention, and the reporter was impressed with
the fact that the contrivance was great pro-
ductiOn. IL demonstrated that the oarsman
was not only man OF muscle, but a man OF
mind But Courtney had imposed a solemn
VOW OF secrecy, and the public must wait for
the race 10 know what the contriyance is. The
y. Y. SltIt says: People who have been betting
that CouItney'S boats will be sawed again on
Nay - will do well 10 hedge. That peculiar
oarsman IS now said 10 nave invented RIG
with which he will beat Hanlan about a mile
Whether courtney will be allowed TO run his
rig in the Potomac race is another question.
ON the whole. it is probably fortunate that Mr..
Blake Is referee, that he has entire control
over the award OF the 81, 900. and that Riley is
ready TO pull In case Courtney should not be
allowed 70 use his rig and should refuse TO pull
without IL. AS thus far explained, I'm reality
the rig has no relation 10 the sCull and yet II
has" Perhaps the rig is on the reporter.

HARVEY's CANAL,

We learn from the New Orleans
Picnyune of Thursday that Harvey's
Canal, the well known waterway that
extends from a point opposite New
Orleans, in the parish of jefferson, to
Bayou Barataria, has been purchased
by the Barataria Ship Canal Com
pany Of Memphis for 100000.
The purchase was effected by a
committee headed by the president of
the company, Capt. Thos. P. feathers,
commander of the steamer Natchez.
and will be considered final when
confirmed by the Board of Directors.
The purpose Of the new manage
ment is to widen aud deepen the
canal, construct locks, and effect such
other improvements as will be re-
quired to constitute first class
water route affording cheap and easy
communication with the seaboard and
the interior country through which
the canal passes. The value of this
water route will he greatly increased
by tile projected improvements.
