NAVIGATION ON THE CATAWBA -
Capt. r +. Bowdoin returned from Mt.
Holly yesterday morning with the view
of putting a large boat on the Catawba
River, as he finds the capacity Of his pre-
sent boat too small for the coduct of his
freighting business and the accommoda
ton of excursion parties. He contem-
plates taking up a twelve horse power en-.
CINE and building a boat to it of suitable
size.
Parties from Charlotte and the sur
rounding country have given him such
encouragement that he thinks Mt. Holly
will be a point of great interest, He in
stances the fact that eight or ten cars
will be required to convey a picnic party
to Mt. Holly.

The SEA DREAMING INTO a CoAL
NINE Lord Durham has mft with fresh
misiortunes among his various collierIes
iu the vicinity of Durham. One PIT Is
named Dolly, and It's seams or galleries
are respectively named Mandiin, the
uppermost one, Hutton aud Bolton Z
At 10 O'Clock on "Wednesday morning
loud cries from the cage tenders at the
mouth brought thither III a lew minutes
the affrighted families Of the golfers
The ominous words Gas - and Wa
ter from the cage-tenders were echoed
from woman to woman, accompanied by
fearful shrieks. Presently a by IN the
ascending cage leaped out with wIlHgjug
garments, mutterlng: The sea Is pouring
down from the Manjlin seam, and eycgy-
body IL getting drowned.
Nothing daunted by the lamentations,
two golfers temporarily out Of the ut got
10 the cage and quickly descended. They
found the top SIandlin seam at water
spout, but all the shafts workable, win,
In the few minutes that had eiapsed the
pit had become a monster well. The 200
men who were in the lower seams were
already IN water up to their waists, and
the boys We're almost drowning. Lord
Durham has all the needful steam APP
planes for working the shafts and cages,
and in a short time all the golfers in each
seam except the Mandolin seam were in
the daylight, being embraced n all their
soaked condition by wives, children and
sweethearts Will, a few other women were
bemoaning with misery Undesirable the
absence of those who were in the sub
merged seam.
The supposition as to the cause Of the
disaster Is, as this Mandolin seam IS known
to run very close to an old working that
leads toward miles eastward, that a work
man broke into the deserted gallery. in
which were pent up gas and water, the
accumulation of years. OUe mystery to
the engineers just now is whether the old
galleries have been broken in BY the sea
and where the immense quantities Of Wa
ter come from.

SOUTHERN Prisons AND AsYLUMs-

Washington, June ten. Brinkerhcff

State, and as a student of charitable and
reformatory problems has visited all the

pressed the belief, as a matter Of course,

the way of public charitable institutions.

Gen. Brinkerhoff found that every
where, except in Georgia, the vicious
system of leasing ~convicts was rapidly
falling into disfavor and disuse. Ae visi-
ted many iails and found them no worse
than those Of the North. He visited
several industrial schools, both charitable
and reformatory, and found them admir-
ably managed. The several State insane
asylums were under the control of human
intelligent, and cultured officials.

WAKING UP A VICE PRESIDENT
There was an amusing incident during
the Vice Presidents stay at Atlantic City,
says the Star. His apartment adjoined
that of an old lady, whose daughter is a
we'll known young married woman in
Philadelphia society. Beyond the old
lady's room was that Of her daughter,
and all three rooms had communication
by means of doors. That between the
Vice Presidents room and the old lady's
was of course locked. One night, soon
after all had retired, it began to blow
great guns from seas ward and the young
married lady opened her window to close
a shutter that was hanging outside.
There was a rush of wind into her room
and from hers into her mothers and
then with a crash, the doc. way leading
into Mr.. Hendricks burst open. Like a
six foot ghost, he leaped out of bed, and
clearing the intervening space at a sln-
gle bound, slammed the door shut again
and blockaded it with a piece of heavy
furniture. The next morning the hote
man, at the earnest solicitation of both
tn old lady and the V. p, had the door
nailed up.

A PLAN for the transmission of mails be
L l.. L.. IL 70

A PLAN for the transmission of mails be.
tween Paris and London by the pneumatic
process, devised by NJ. Berlin, is exciting
considerable interest. The following are a
few particulars of the scheme: The pnue-
matte tribes or subway would be laid down
alongside the existing railways for convent
ence sake. The distance between the two
cities is about $50 miles. The pneumatic
subway would be constructed of cast iron
pipes 15@ inches in diameter and IL feet in
length, connected by means of India-rubber
points This arrangement has the effect of
giving great hexibiity and elasticity to the
whole, and of making it wster tight besides.
The carriage suggested IS composed OF
wire frame covered by sheet of asbestos
cloth with metallic warp. This covering
would have kind Of metallic brush coating
to enable the compressed air to dilate TO u
certain extent around the truck and cool
the latter, thus counteracting the heat pro.
duced by the friction. A truck would travel
the distance between the two capitals in
one hour, aud one could be dispatched every
ten minutes. An engine of from twenty
eight to thirty horsepower would be suf-
ficient.
