Tha Yacht Winanme.

The case of the yacht Winsome, detained here on account of irregularities in her pa pers, has been mentioned quite often lately by papers out of the city. The facts of this case seem to be that Mrs. Hinman agreed to sell the yacht for B, ,0OO to the sailing mas ter, Mir. Parker. Immediately after this and before any money had been paid, she refused to complete the sale. Notwithstanding this, Mr. Parker claimed the yacht and refused to deliver it to young Mir. Hinman, the owner. When he came here the yacht was seized by Collector Cozzens for not having paid hos pital dues Mir. Hinman claimed that the New Haven custom house told him that he did not have to pay hospital dues. The New Haven custom house has written here con frming this, and Collector Cozzens has re- ferred all the papers to the department at Washington. The fine, which is fifty dollars for each man and amounts to $50, will probably be remitted, as MT. Hinman evi- dently did not intend to defraud the govern ment, but was misled by the New Haven custom house -NeecD0rt DGiLy Neaos

 Man with Five Lines

Man VV1th F1Ve LIn0s
 A couple of Hartford gentlemen who were of Montauk Point bluefshing Wednesday say that the waves were running high and bluefsh were plenty. Barring an accident to the boat, they would have had splendid luck. As it was they captured nice lot, though the waves breaking into the boat drenched them to the skin and made them think that the sport was spiced with danger. A short distance away was one-armed man alone in his boat and he was handling five lines besides keeping his boat right side up. When a fish was hooked he would hold the tiller between his knees and haul in the fish by winding the line around the stump of his lost arm. The high rolling waves did not have much terror for him. He was after bluetish and he got them.-Hdrttord Times.

skin vs. Ignorance.

As perfect pharmaceutical preparation we are told that Hoods Sarsaparilla sur- passes any proprietary article upon the mar ket Even to our inexperienced eye we see positive indications of the truth of the fore going A glance at the article shows the scrupuIous neatness and care with which the details of it's manufacture and putting up must be conducted. These points are of importance in any business, but in the manipulations of remedies for the relief of human suffering they become of supreme im- portance, and only such medicines are worthy of public confidence.
