Mr.. Goodwin IL an honored member OF tho
famous Hull Yacht club, OF Boston, and the
experiences Of his yacht have been 50. nu-
merous that they would FIJI tones to over
flowing. His yacht Ia, not inappropriately,
named the Sinker, and 1t is justly considered
the most remarkable craft on the Atlantic
coast Whenever Mr.. Goodwin sets san In ii
his Boston friends buy pools on the chances
Of his ever showing up again 1t is worthy
OF note that the chances of never returning
are invariably the favorite in the pools. Mr..
Goodwin tells us, and we are Inclined to
believe him, hat his yacht Is the
only sailing vessel in American
waters that can jump f.. u fence. He
says that whenever he leaves the Boston
wharf and heads tho Sinker for the mighty
expanse Of brine duo east, every tug in the
harbor gets up steam and gives chase. it
seeming TO be a friendly rivalry among the
tugs TO see who will earn the $40 and the
honor of conveying the Sinker back into port
when it slaves a hole in its hold. or splits its
m~izzenmast or looses it's boom, or disables
its rudder, or meets with any ono OF the
misfortunes which appear to be inevitable
when Mr.. Goodwin Is in practical command.
"When l ave my now yacht built, " says
Mr.. Goodwin, II shall have it constructed on
Ingenious plans whinh are the result OF a
long and eventful experience. It viii be so
devised and built as to be capable of shutting
up like an accordion whenever 1t strikes a
rock or a sandbar. In this way all disaster
will be averted, and l will be spared the
humiliation and expense Of ~liquidating the
damages which now attend every cruise OF
the Sinker.n

JNO. +. cARHOLL--

TIE dispatches seem TO indicate a dis
position on the part Of English royalty
and the nobs o nobility to go into a pro-
tracted state Of mourning in the event Of
the recall of Minister Lowell from the
Court Of St. james. It would no doubt
prove a severe shock to the supersensitive
a~ristocracy Of Great Britain If this literary
exquisite were removed from their midst.
He has quite a happy knack for making
after dinner speeches, and to this he adds
a profound generation for England and
the English. The Britons are pleased
with Lowell and Lowell is pleased with
the Britons, while at the same time not at
all dissatisfied with himself Lowell has a
deservedly great name in the world Of
letters, but it is entirely probable that q
more home-spun individual with less lit
erary p~retensions would accomplish more
real good for his country and countrymen
than Lowell and as faithfully earn the
sl7, 500 salary attached to the Office In
several delicate situations, where it was
necessary for the Minister to take a bold
and decided stand, ever at the expense Of
his social relations across the water, Mr..
Lowell has shown a plentiful lack of back
bone. Americans will and must revere
Mr.. Lowell as a writer, but in his capacity
as a Minister they cannot consistently
oyerwhelm him with praise.

The energetic Kissing nightly accorded to
tho heavy villain in the melodrama now
running at the Baldwin reminds old residents
Of the first theatrical performances ever given
in Virginia City. Most of the miner had
not seen a play for a score Of years, and when
the Johnstones troupe opened in @Othellov
the house presented a packed mas of red
shirts. The then little famous Edwin Booth
was the Iagos and 50 faithfully did he por-
tray the traitorous friend hat the audience
lost control OF itself, and in the second act
began shooting at thef fell conspirator. One
shot struck Othelio's sword-hilt, and all
hands had 10 lie down on the stage and roll
Into the wings. Tho indignant miners wers
finally quoted, and the the play proceeded
with, but the final denouement was 50 taken
TO heart by the spectators that Booth re-
manned in the theatre all night for fear Of
the vigilantes, who talked seriously Of lynch
ing the Scold-blooded cussn off-hand.

Interview with Aeronaut Coxwell
When Mr.. Coxwell was asked, "How long
can gas he retained In q balloonf' he re-
LIED, N balloon has ever gone over a
second sunset l will tell you why" he went
on. 1.-THE moment the sun goes down tho gns

better than the day. But the next day, in
the presence OF the sun, the gas expands and
you mount to great elevations, but every
mount the balloon makes cripples its power
and it is only a question Of hours, IL not
minutes, how long you can keep up. It is
the loss of the eternal king Of day which is
the mischief. II m aeronaut could have

A RICH CHURCH.
Grace Church In New York and ths PoS-

Grace Church in New York and the PoS-
pIexities That Surround IT,
New York Cor. Albany Journal
Wealth Is a perTlexing thing TO handle,
even for those who do not grip much Of It
for their own. The congregation OF Grace
church contains more riches than does any
other In America. A new minister has
just been tried. The selection was made
with exceeding care. It was desirable that
the choice should fall upon n handsome man
Of distinguished department., for be would be
one Of the central social figures of tho
metropolis. IL was found that Rev. DR..
Huntington would answer all tho require
ments- He Is now In the exalted position.
DR.. Huntington will settle down to
luxury In the finest New York parsonage,
draw the largest New York ministerial salary
for the rest OF his life, and serve as an orna-
ment In his parishioners' parlors as well as In
their pulpit. His income Is estimated at $780,
900 4 year, made up OF salary, rent-free resi-
dence, and personal gifts. The pulpit Is con-
sidered tho biggest prize In the ministry
aside from those which can only gained by
be great ability.
Grace church is singularly situated. 1t
has a site in busy Broadway, and succeeds
nearly in separating itself, as a scene, from
the surrounding press OF traffic. 1t stands

from any point southwark as far as the eye
can 500 it, the marble spire closes the vista
OF mercantile buildings. Tho ediHce has a
parsonage alongside, in corresponding archi-
lecture, and is exceedingly picturesque. A
wall in a style TO match Is carried up to the
top Of the adjoining store so that nothing un-
eeclesiAstic would make a sharp contrast
wero It not that the merchant neighbor has
raised n huge sign-board above tho churchly
facade, which consequently looks as though
grandly supporting his very secular an
nouncement. As he could lift the sign above
the greatest height to which the wall could
possibly he built, the Grace trustees are COM
PEELED to let him distigure their premises
Another novelty in tho environment OF
Grace is that while it fronts conspicuously on
Broadway It backs ON the Bowery, and can
therefore handily keep a rear door open TO
the poor. Charity Is here dispensed IN a new
and beautiful marble structure. The chill
dren Of poverty are fed, clothed and religi-
ously instructed. Through this distinctive
portal only can they enter tho church itself
during such services as they are admitted TO.
In the same manner, whenever a congrega-
ton OF Grace chapel-a mission supported by
Grace's wealth-are invited TO visit the
parent temple, they are invariably taken
through the Bowery door,.

THE general reduction in wages, and in
many instances the complete shutting
down of Eastern manufacturing establish
ments, show the evil effects Of over-pro-
duction that has fer several years charac-
terized this branch Of industry. The
present supply Is much greater than the
demand Of tho country at large and until
the present ield is extended, manufac-
lures will BE somewhat crippled and the
capital engaged in them di-
verted to other more remunerative
branches Of trade Some encourage
meDt is found in the strong and growing
popular sentiment in favor Of a navy and
if a heavy outlay is made for this purpose
the iron trade and collateral industries
may be expected 10 flourish for 4 consid-
cradle period. RAinosd building, which
caused so many iron works to flourish,
will then make way for navy building,
which will probably prove just as profit
able to the w~orkingmen.

Mrs. Garfield did very graceful and avery
seusible thing in asking John Randolph
Tucker, Of Virginia, TO act as the guardian
Of her infant children during their legal
minority. Graceful, because Tucker was
one Of Garleld's truest friends; sensible, be-
cause a better man could not have been
found for that responsible position. When
Tucker came up from his professorshIp in
''the university" as the Virginians call II, a
brilliant, scholarly, big-hearted, old-fash-
ioned Virginia gentleman, to sit in the
house of representatives, he sought out the
more cultivated among bis colleagues and
made them his friends. This was not diff
cult, for no one ever knew him long without
loving him. Among them all be found no
one so congenial as Garfield. Although they
differed diametrically in most things, yet
they had much in common. Garfield was a
big-brained, big-hearted hoy, his enthusiasm
tempered only by bis culture. Tucker was
personally as delightful as Garfield, sxeelling
him in his ability TO tell good story, aud
was intellectually his peer in every respect.
At the same time be was morally strong as
honest as be was fearless, although be was no
better equipped for political life than Gar
field. or cuurse their political views differed
In toto. Tucker was , state-rights mrn; Gar
field was a nationalist Tucker was Il reve-
nue. reformer; Garfield though at heart he
was q revenue reformer, bowed to the will Of
the party bosses and ayowed himself pro-
teetiOnist. But one day, after their friend
ship had become q fact, Garfield came over
to fuckers desk on the Democratic side Of
the house, and said: Tucker, you know
that am protectionlst, but / want that
there should be free trade hereafter between
you and me in matters literary" with all
my heart" responded Tucker, and from that
time 70 the day Of Garield's death they were
the closest friends. They both loved litera-
ture-all letters, ancient and modern, but
perhaps most Of all the Greek and Latin
classics. Everyday they managed TO steal
time from even the most engrossIng Of their
legislative duties for an excursion into those
ever-blooming fields. Sometimes they met
in the library, sometimes in q ommittee
room. OF again on the floor Of the house it.

John O'Neil, a cattle grower of lifelong
experience in Victoria county, Texas, caileu
on The StOok-Gr0Usr this week, and a conver-
sation with him proved most interesting
Mr.. O'Neil Is one Of the very few breeders in
this country Of Brahma, or sacred cattle, OF
the East Indies. II would at first seem farci.
cal 20 speak Of raising "menagerie stock, -
ut Mr.. O'Neil will soon be able 20 prove to
stOckmen of the west that this strain will
show as many good qualities as the much
talked-Of HerefOrds and Durhams. The first
sacred cattle brought 10 America consisted oi
two lots, one of which went 10 Georgia aud
the other to Louisiana. In 1879 Mr.. O'Neil
noticed cows near his home which were a cross
between the natives and the Brahmas, and
were the property of nvighbor. The winter
and spring Of 1879 were exceptionally hard
on cattle. and the ''die-Off'' was something
tremendous. One observing friend saw in
the spring that the Brahma cows were in ex-
cellent condition, and after experiments he
concluded that the breed would be a good one
10 cross with the native stock. Mr.. OiNeii
secured a bull and two cows (thorOughbredsl /
from the Louisiana herd, and afterward in
creased the number from Georgia. The re-
suit OF the cross was satisfactory. They are
Of good size, fine beef qualities, and possess
the best rustling qualities Of any breed. Mr..
O'Neil obtains the best results from cross
between the sacred cattle with pure Durhams,
and the male stock from this cross he runs
with bis natives. There is a heavy demand
in Texas for the Brahmas, as they are called
but it is utterly impossible TO supply it. Mr.
O'Neil intends 10 stock a ranch in this ter
ritory, when our New Mexico cattle-owners
win have an opportunity OF seeing the sacred
cattle. The thoroughbreds arc described as
being Of a rich cream color, aud the bulls
have a very prominent hump on the shOul-
der.-Telp Nerican Stock Grolrsr.
