Mr.. ]. w. Hale writes to the New York Jour-
nal Of Commerce as follows
The difference OF time OF only q few minutes
In the races of the Genesta and Puritan has re-
called to my mind another run Of nearly 1000
miles across the Atlantic when the difference Of
time made by two vessels was less than half q
minute. 1t is more than sixty years ago since
TWO full rugged brigs were mOOred side by aide
at the mole OF Hamburg. They were Boston
vessels, loaded and bound for that port. The
was supposed would make the trip In twenty
or twenty-five days. The Helen was slow
tub, with bows like Dutch galliOt, and not
more than eight knots could be got out Of her
under the most favorable circumstances. The
Dryade was going down the English channel,
the Helen was TO go north about" l. e., north
OF Scotland, the Orkney and Shetland islands.
All sail was set on both vessels, as it was nearly
calm: the fasts were cast of at the same moment
ana they slowly drlfted down the river with the
current AT Cuxhaven the Dryade was not in
sight from the Helen. The latter continued on
her course with variable winds, weather SO
moderate that her royals were only furled
twice, and her top gallantsails were not taken
In once. torty-three days after these vessels
left Hamburg on fine, clear evening two briggs
were slowly running up Boston harbOr. II was
dead-iow water, so that 1t was not necessary to
anchor, and when these vessels reached Central
wharf the nose OF one was run into the mud on
the north side, the other performed q similar
act on the south side, both apparently 1t the
Helen.
The log book Of the Dryade showed that she
ha9 several days Of head winds in the channel,
and amer leaving IL had much heavy weather
and contrary winds, and was under single or
oouDle reefs Q great part Of the voyage. was
drst ofncer OF the Helen.

An extraordinary case Of suspended ANNA

funeral was drawing near, when she gave signs

the body and was not entirely satisfied that
death had taken place. He therefore refused to

A Confederate Match Factory.

From the Atlanta Constitution
The first match factory in the confederacy
was in or rather near Atlanta. The owner was
an Atlanta man. These matches were sold
from Richmond to the gulf Unlike some OF
our recent experiments in that line, there was
no trouble about igniting the matches. man

finally hit 1t on the head with hammer, or light

efectual safeguard was to keep it in a bottle of
water. They were the most utterly too previous
matches ever seen In this or any other country.
me enterprise was never profitable, because
half the stock was invariably lost by spontane-
Gus combustion: Wagon loads of matches on
their way from the factory to the city would
burst into blaze half way on the road, soaring
the driver and his mules out of their senses.
Several Atlanta stores handled these useful
marvels of home en- terprise, but customers were
cautioned to tread lightly for fear OF Earring the
matches into conf1agration, and clerks were
detailed TO SIT up every night to watch the trou-
blesOme stock.
The owner Of this match factory put up the
sold it for rat poison. 1t certainly killed the
rats, but the hasty character of the stuff created
such panic In the city that the industry had
to be squelched. A Whitehall street merchant
bought box Of the poison one day and carry
ing 1t to his store tried to spread dab of it on
piece OF dry bread as bait for the rats. He
gave 1t one spread when there was "whshn'
and the whole affair blazed up in his face, sing
ing off his whiskers. A few similar expert
ments prejudiced the people against the new
poison. They said it was too rough on the rats
to burn out their stOmachs with such an explo
sive. A complete collection of Atlantas manu-
featured products from 80 to '65 would be
worth seeing. AS museum of curiosities II

Joining the volsa and Don.

From Engineering
A group Of French and Russian capitalists are
seeking from the Russian minister of finance q
concession for cutting q canal between the
rivers Volga and Don. These two mighty streams
penetrate in their course through Russia within
fifty miles Of each other, at Tsaritzin, and then
strike of, one to the Black sea and the other to
the Caspian. The promoters of the undertaking
seek, by the construction of the canal, to give
the extensive commerce of the VOlga an outlet
into the Black sea. The physical difficulties are
not insuperable, although sufficiently severe to
test the resources OF any except very
powerful syndicate. The idea OF the canal
Is by no means new, Peter the Great
having personally gone over the ground and
made q rough scheme for one. His successors,
however, in spite of their enterprise in canal
making, have always been averse to the under
taking. In the flood season both rivers are I'M
manageable, and it has been thought that if a
canal were cut the VOlga might some spring
burst into the Don and cause q catastrophe. OF
course, with engineering skill 1t would be easy
to prevent this fear OF timid ministers being
realized, but it is interesting to mention that
Nature herself Is preparing the way for some
such eventuality, the VOiga yearly cutting
more and more into its west bank, and thereby
drawing nearer the Don. At present the two
rivers are connected by q railway, described by
Mackenzie Wallace as the sOwest, worst laid
and most infamous in Europe. The traffic Is
not very large, and even the promoters of the
canal project do not think they could carry out
their project without a considerable subsidy
from the state.
