PROF. PICKET'S DISCOVERY.
A Steamer that VIII Travel at the
Rate of Forty Miles an Hour.

The Geneva correspondent of the Lon
don Times telegraphs as follows: 'Prof.
Roone Picket, who has been giving his
attention lately to marine architecture,
announces discovery which, if antici-
pations are realized, will effect a revolu.
tion in the art of ship building. The
discovery consists of a new method of
construction and such an arrangement of
keel as will diminish the resistance of
the water to the lowest possible point.
Vessels built in the fashion devised by
Picket, instead of sinking their prows
into the water as the speed
increases, will rise out of the
water the faster they go, in such
way that the only parts exposed to the
friction of the water will be the sides of
the hull and the neighborhood of the
wheel. In other words, ships thus con-
structed, instead of pushing their way
through the water, will glide over it.
According to the professors calcula-
tions, in the accuracy of which he has
the fullest confidence, steamers built
after this design will attain speed Of
from fifty to sixty kilometers an hour.
A model steamer is in the course of con-
struction on the principle which he has
discovered at Geneva. The machinery
has been ordered at Winterthur. When
it is ready, the new vessel will make a
trial trip On Lake Leman."

that, although the President is extremely
weak, and, although his condition is one
which naturally causes great anxiety, the
improved condition of his stomach today
gives ground for encouragement. If he
can be properly nourished he will, in DR..
Bliss opinion, ultimately recover.
BLAINE TO LOWELL.
The following was sent this afternoon to
Lowell, Minister at London, by Secretary
Blaine:
''The Presidents condition has somewhat
improved since the last report. He has not
vomited for twentY-one hours and during
the forenoon has swallowed liquid food
several times, in all about ten ounces. The
weather is very warm, but it does not affect
him."
CERTAINLY GLOOMY.
The following was sent tonight to Min
lister Lowell, at London, by Secretary
Blaine:
"The President has been able to swallow
aud retain about twenty ounces of liquid
food to-day, showing a better state OF
the stomach, but his general condition
is serious, IL not critical. He Is
weak, exhausted and emaciated, not
weighing over one hundred and twenty-five
or one hundred and thirty pounds. His
weight when wounded was from two hun
dred and five to two hundred and ten
pounds. His failure to regain strength is
the one feature which gives special uneasi
ness and apprehension"
THE PRAYERS OF THR POPE.
The following correspondence by cable is
furnished from the State Department:
ROME, August Is, 1881.
To Hon James G.. Blaine, Secretary of State,
WaShin9tOn'
As the Holy Father learned with painful
surprise and profound sorrow of the horrfd
attempt Of which the President of the re-
public was the victim, so now he is happy
to felicitate His Excellency upon the news
that his precious life is now out of danger,
and he will ever pray that God may grant
him speedy and complete recovery of his
health and long spare him to the benefit of
the United States. The undersigned has
the honor to join In these sentiments of SIN
cere congratulations and wishes for his
complete recovery. Cardinal JACoBINI.
To which Secretary Blaine sent the fol-
lowing answer:
WASHINGTON, August %, 1881.
HIS Enline1sce, Cardinal JGcO6ini, Rome:
Please convey to His Holiness the sincere
thanks with which this government received
the kind expression of his prayerful interest
in behalf of the stricken President. Since
your message was sent the Presidents
condition has been changed, and we
are now filed with anxiety,
hut are not without hope. The
President has been deeply touched by the
pious interest for his recovery displayed by
all churches, and by none more widely or
more devoutly than by those of the Roman
Catholic communion.
JAMES G. BLAINE,
Secretary of State.

the President.
RnRhfnntnn. Post

A woman arrived in town Yesterday
from Baltimore who adds one to the list
of those whose minds have given way on
account of the Presidents wound She
professed to have come all the way from
Paris to save the President, and said all
he wanted was a drop of blood from her
right arm. She attempted to gain admis-
sion to the White House grounds, giving
to the officer card with name, MRS.
Pauline Remeric," written ON the back.
Her performances attracted such a
crowd that she was Immediately removed
to police headquarters, where she gave her
name as May Pauline Remeric. She took
off her dress and disclosed a rather sin
gular costume, consisting of a blue flan-
mel bathing suit, with shirt sleeves and
white trimmings, a light lawn overskirt,
a broad d-brimmed hat with gaudy trim
mings, long embroidered stockings and
neat fitting pair of high-heeled slippers.
She was apparently about twenty. five
years old, rather plump and of bright
appearance. A telegram was sent to her
husband in Brooklyn and in the mean
time she was sent to the insane asylumI
Mr.. Anthony Renninger, her husband.
in response to the telegram. arrived in
Jne CITY laSb nl9nC. lie was almost
dumfounded when informed how his
wife had acted and the peculiar costume
in which she was aTrayed He stated
that she left home on Wednesday morn
ing, since which time, until he received
the telegram, he knew not where she was.
He had, in company with detective,
hunted all over Brooklyn for her. He
stated that his wife first showed any weak
ness of mind about four weeks ago, but
had at no time been violent MIR. Rem
ninger lives at 543 Broadway, Brooklyn,
and is employed in Engine Company No.
II. When his wife left home she in
tended to go to Manhattan Beach, and
while in a bathing costume must have
been attacked. She then had long and
heavy black hair, which he was grieved
to learn had been cut off close to her
head. She also had several valuable
rings, one of which, her wedding ring,
a pawn ticket in her possession showed
she had pawned in Baltimore Mr.. Rem.

Result of Sundays Trial of the
Ballot.

PARIS, August 22.-The following have
also been reelected members of the Cham
Der of Deputies for the department of the
Seine: William Brllay, Herison Frebault,
Cantagrel and Mannotan, all of the Repub-
lican Union. NJ. Clemenceau. of the tx.
treme Left, has been reelected in both
divisions of Montmartre.
The general results of the elections in
Paris show the returR of one moderate can
didate, thirteen Advanced Republicans and
nine Irreconeilables. Four second ballots
will be necessary. The avowed Socialist
and revolutionary candidates generally re-
ceived only handful of votes. They are
suspected in many cases of being started
only for the purpose of causing divisions.
There will be a second ballot in Lesparre,
department of the Gironde, none of the can
didates having obtained majority. Baron
Haussmann, the Bonapartist candidate
there, polled the lowest number of votes.

All YEARLY the summer waiteth now.
Her work perfected. Silently she has wrought
Through shower, and sunlight. ali the breezes
caught
Her meaning. E'en the pOppies on her brow,
Soothing to slumber, and the tired brooks, low,
Half dried in pebly beds, murmur her thought.
Now pulsing life. the wondrous secret tells,
For 10. the flower that dropped its leaves in
May.
Hangs crimson-ripe upon its bough day;
And that small handful of earth-buried grain
Waves fair and golden DER the wind-swept
plain,
And the flowers sweetness wait in well-stored
cells.
Oh, rare, sweet silence! work in secret done,
Shows marvellous when brought to light OF sun.

sad End of a Famous Lake Captain.

CHICAGO, August 22.-John Pomeroy, one
of the Oldest and best known of the lake
captains, took laudanum last night to kill
himself, and is supposed this morning to be
diving. Pomeroy was one of the first to
demonstrate the feasibility of direct ship
ments hence to Liverpool, having taken
the Gold Hunter through In
1858, an achievement much remarked
upon at the time. He was known among
his associates as "The Printer" for when
the lakes were closed in the winter he
worked as a type setter on the Chicago
dsiies. A few years ago he became para
lyzed, and his enforced inactivity and help
lessuess, and his necessity of living upon
charity, made him respondent and finally
drove him to self destruction.

REVIEW OF THE DAY.

1890 P. M.-The President this morning
began the day In condition which was re-
garded as slightly better than that shown
by the last official bulletin of yesterday.
He had passed auieter and more comfort
able night than was anticipated. There had
been no recurrence of the vomiting, which
excited so much alarm yesterday after
noon, and his pulse before he swoke,
at 6 a. m, was down to 98
This auspieious opening of the day
seemed to justify, or, at least, to make
reasonable the belief of sanguine persons
that the case was about to take favorable
turn, and when the morning bulletin ap-
peared, and 1t became known that the

Its New Guise.


The following is the revision Of
the 18th chaper of /. Cor:
II I speak with the tongues Of men
and OF angels, but have not love, lam
become sounding brass or o changing
symbal.
And if I have the gift Of prophecy,
and know all mysteries and all knowl-
edge; and il I have all faith, SO as to
remove mountains, and have not love,
/ am nothing.
Andif Ibestow all my goods to feed
the poor, and give my body TO be
burned, but have not love,it proAteth
me nothing.
Love suffereth long, and is kind
love endcth not love vaunteth notit-
self, is not puffed up.
Doth not behave itself unseemly !;
seeketh not its own, is not provoked,
taking not account Of evil;
Reioiceth not in unrighteousness,
but rejoiceth in the truth (;
Beareth all things, believeth' oil
things, hopeth all things, enduretha all
things.
Love never faileth, but whether
there be prophecies, they shall be
done away; whether there be tongues,
they shall cease; whether there bo
knowledge, it shall be done away.
For we know in part and prophesy
in part.
But when that which is perfect shall
come, that which is in part shall ba
done away.
When was child, / Ispake as a
child, felt as q child, ! thought as q
child; now that have become man,
l have put away childish things,
For now we see in mirror darkly,
but then face to face; now / know in
part, but then shall I know even as al
80 have been known.
But now abideth faith, hope, love,
these three; and the greatest of these
is love.
