No event in the last 20 years has
created so profound and widespread
an interest among New York shipping
merchants, steamboatmen and yachts
men as the performance "a sl.crt time
ago of the little steam yacht Stiletto
in beating the fast steamer Mary Pow
ell. The StilettO is conceded to have
shown a speed Of "a miles an hour in
her race with the Mary Powell, which
was up the Hudson river. Since that
event, wherever the little boat has APP
peared, she has been greeted with a
chorus Of steam whistles, and has ex-
cited the most eager curiosity. II is
stated that if the principles OF her con-
struction were applied to large sea-
going steamer, the trip across the At
lantic could be made i'm three or four
days. Whether they can or will be so
applied appears to be undecided at
present.

A traveller ON the Northern Pacific reports
the following thrilling incident: When the
train stopped at Metiora, Montana, the
headquarters Of the Marquis de Mores and
Theodore Roosevelt, some ten or dozen
cowboys, mounted on their typical horses
Of the plains, were cutting all kinds ofcapers
and giving q sort Of free show, for the edit
cation and amusement 81 the citizens and
passengers. They were putting the horses
through reckless evOlutiOns and maneuvers,
giving an exhibition of cquest rianism that
astonished the tcnderfeet on board the
train. The boys had just come in from q
roundup, and were flush with money and
considerably flushed with Dakota tangle.

Little Missoury river at this point, is at
least 100 feet above the surface Of the

narrow plank walk-not more than
two feet wide-is laid along ON the ties.
from shore to shore, in the center Of the
bridge. 1t requires steady nerve for a man
to make the trip successfully, without losing
his balance and falling through between the
ties into the river far below, which, Ofcourse
would mean certain death. Two Of the COW.
boys-more reckless than their compa MONS
rode their horses upon the track at a RAP
gait, and then, in single file, dashed on to the
bridge and made for the other side, fly
ing along on the narrow plank walk just as
II they were racing across the prairie after
an obstreperous bovine.
The spectators were thrilled with horror,
and expected to see the two daring men
dashed to death at every jump the horses
made. The riders yelled vocifero,isly, and
rode with the same easy confidence they
always display when at home upon the
plains.

The progress Of the disease from which
Gen. Grant is suffering, barring accidental
complications, is slow. Comparing the con-
ditiOn Of the patient with what it was a

While woman suffrage in this coun-

haps more downs than ups, in Eng
land the whole controversy is shortly
to be brought to a focus in the candi-
dacy of Helen Taylor, a step-daughter
OF the late John Stuart Mill, for a seat
in parliament. 1t appears that while
there is no recognition in law OF wOm-
ans eligibility to this honor, there is
no law to prevent her winning it if she
can. The cable says that the lady is
likely to get the election. Ii so, the
