Sails SurnaSSing Steam.

About the year 1874 began the most
important era In the history of American
ship building. Our Liverpool packets
had already demonstrated the capabil-
tiles OF our builders and mariners. The
Canada, for example, under the COM
mand of Capt. Seth G. Macy, made her
trips almost with the regularity Of a
steamer. Fourteen to sixteen days was
the average length of her voyages be-
tween the two ports. This may have
been an extreme case, but the fact re-
mains that these "liners" made re-
markab1e record. X Without moot
ing the question about the respective
merits of the noted Aberdeen clippers
and the American ships which, during a
period of perhaps fifteen years, circled
the globe with their vast expanse of can
vas, it is not too strong a statement to
say that some Of the runs made by our
ships at that time have never been sur
passed by either sail or steam. The
great builder of packets, Isaac Webb,
died in 1913. Donald Mckay, native
of Nova Scotia, who removed in youth
to Newburyport and made name there
and in Boston, began, at the same time,
to win worldwide reputation for clip
per ships Of size and speed hitherto
unexampled. Many competitors ap-
peared at the same time. The ship
James Baines, built by Mckay, ran
400 miles in twenty-four hours. The
ship Red Jacket, built at Rockland,
Me-, ran 1920 miles in seven days, or
325 miles per diem, for week. The
Flying Cloud, McKay's most celebrated
ship, once made 374 knots, or 433 miles,
in twenty-four hours and twenty-five
minutes, equal to 17.17 miles an hour.
To appreciate these distances, compare
them with the greatest distance ever
made in twenty-four hours by Liver
pool steamer, the new and now cele-
brated Alaska, in the fastest westward
passage vet accomplished from Liver
pool to New York. Der greatest run
was 419 miles III twenty-four hours.
This proves what all sailors know, but
of which few landsmen are awsre-that,
with a strong and steady favoring wind,
it is possible for sailing ship to equal
the speed of an Atlantic steamship

set the unlucky intruder.
Hurricane was great big fellow, with
a curly, crooked comb on each side OF
his head, which the children called
"hookers !" but | guess the old fellow
was stylish and wore combs. Be that as
it may, when he saw Daisy Dimple COM
ing toward him, he put his head-combs
and alright down and ran to meet her
as fast as he could go.
Daisy wasn't quite sure whether he
was glad to see her or not at all events,
she was not used to such rough demon
strations of affection, so she Just dropped
down among the clover and buttercups,
and kept still as any little mouse and
Mr.. Hurricane stumbled right over her
head first.
The old tyrant was quite surprised
and looked rather sheepish when he
picked himself up and could see no lit
tie Daisy anywhere; and he walked quite
slowly toward his family, as if ashamed
of his fit of temper.
Daisy never stirred until quite certain
that old Hurricane was busy nibbling
daisies of another kind; then she scram-
bled upon her hands and knees and crept
ever so softly to the place where the
little lambs were resting with their
mammas.
The little lady was quite lucky, for
Hurricane did not see her until she was
In the midst of his family; and when he
came at her again she just clasped Mrs.
Sheep around the neck and cuddled SO
close to her that Mr.. Hurricane con-
| cluded he could not use his combs with
advantage without hurting his gentle
little wife, which he would not do for
the world; so he left them and returned
to his buttercups.
Daisy rested awhile; cooed and talked
to the lambs and sheep who talked to
her in their own way; and after she
thought they quite understood why she
had paid them visit, she took out her
scissors and began to rob the sheep Of
their very clothing just think of it,

"A Desperate Fight with Three MUIR
INA derers i'm Arizona.
A recent telegram from Albuquerque, N. NJ,
says Arizona vigilantes are again at work, and
last week Bill Mulcahy, Jack Kingsbury and
Nevada Jim, who killed two Mexicans and NOR
tally woundedtwo Americansat Calabazas, were
pursued by an organized party of fifteen.
The pursuit was kept up with vigor during
Monday, and at p. m. the fleeing murderers
were sighted in the distance, the animals they
rode being nearly tagged, heading for pre-
clpltous peak. With yell the pursuers spurred
their horses onward. The doomed desperadoes
succee dod by superhuman effort in reaching
the goal OF Their hopes, where they dismounted
ana sought refuge In the recesses of its rocky
SIDES. AS the pursuers approached they were
received with a volley from the Winchesters
with which the fugi ives were armed, and one
of their number named Hennessy was wound
ed IN the shoulder.
The avengers then withdrew and held a
hasty consultation, determining to kill or capt
ure the villains at all hazards. The party dis
mounted and cautiously advanced, keeping as
much as possible under cover until the base Of
the rocky elevation was reached, when, with q
shout of defiance and volley from their six
shooters, a rush was made. With the GOODNESS
OF desperation the murderers awaited the on
set, and once more the Winchesters were brought
into requisiton. The battle lasted but few
minutes. The ambushed cutthroats fought with
fury born of despair. Two of them were
quickly killed, and the third, Nevada Jim, was
brought down by a shot through the thighs.
The vlgilantes spared his life till rope could
be procured to hang him. He suddenly seized
revolver belonging to one of his dead COM
rades which was lying near, and fred at
Fallehy, who fell, pierced through the lung.
Laughing derisively, he then sent bullet crash
ing through his own brain.

How Pe0nle Die.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in one Of
his sermons says: | think the great
majority of people de very much as a
leaf does. It's supply of juice grows
less and less, and the stem is less and
less nourished, and it gradually retracss
and shrinks within itself aud hangs O
the branch and some day when the
wild blows in very gentle putfs tn,
leaf is lifted a little and the connec
ton breaks. and it wavers and waver
through the air and settles without &
sound upon the ground. I suppose
that the great majority are as uncon
scious Of the phenomenon Of dying as
children are of going to sleep it Is 5,
like it is called in Scripture falling
asleep'-only there the figure is sweet
ened and made more beautiful, in that
we fall asleep in Jesus, orin HIS arms. +"

Dickinson and Jefferson.

John Dickinson, Mr.. Moore said, was
unquestionably the author of that great
document, the Declaration of Taking
Up Arms in 1775." The claim that
Thomas Jefferson was the author of the
most important part of it was made pub
lie only after both Jefferson and Dickin-
son were in their graves. It had been
generally accepted, and he had gone
into the histories even of men like Ban
croft, "who," the speaker said, "seemed
to have suffered syncope in the presence
of the chief of American Democracy. I
propose" Mr.. Moore continued, to
settle the question, now and here, OF the
absolute, sole and undivided right Of
John Dickinson to that imperishable
product of his pen, the original of
which I hold in my hand. I
am indebted to the late DIR.
John d. Logan, of Baltimore, de-
scendant of Mr. Dickinson, for this docu-
ment, which / contribute to this socie-
ty. It must forever settle this question.
This document, every line Of it, with its
erasures, interlineations, corrections and
additions, is in the handwriting of John
Dickinson, and proves him to have been
the author of that document. I'D

platform reai1irms the ground taken at the Chi

transaction of their business should be taxed
so as to render its ownership valueless; pro-
nounces in favor OF oivil-service reform, and
