is wonder that sane men will
try to transport such internal misery
to this country, and seek to drag down
happy and prosperous people to the level
Of the old country paupers. 1t is true
that the German element Of our popula-
ton is composed Of the best people in the
land, but the few black sheep who
crowded in from that wholesale poor
house which is the home Of boasted Ger
man royalty, have done more harm to
the peace and prosperity OF their coun-
trymen than a repetition Of the plague
could do. If our dissatisfied population
could be furnished daily with true pic
ture Of the want and misery existing in
these boasted mother-countries, they
would soon learn to thank God for the
blessings they possess, and turn upon all
who would SOW discord among the un-
fortunate of our people and drive them
out, to be outcasts from the body
polite, as they deserve.

INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE.

Yesterdays international yacht race
marks new departure in maritime af-
fairs in this country, and will serve to
stimulate the dormant talent OF our de-
signers and builders OF shipping, and in
effect, place our merchant marine again
on an honorable level, compared with the
great ascendancy held in such matters
since the war, by European nations. If
we have men who can design the fleetest
craft the world ever saw, for pleasur @
purposes, we also have men who can do
the same thing for commercial purposes,
and now that the thousands Of idle steam =
ships lining the docks and quays of the
old world have proven their inability to
run and pay interest on the money in
vested in their construction, the sailing
ships will again come to the front for
favor, and America can distance all COM
petitors in building and equipping, not to
mention handling such craft. In justice
TO the gallant man, who yesterday meas
ured swords with Americas neetest boat,
it should be borne in mind that his vessel
differs radically from the American yacht,
and was not built TO overcome similar
resistances. Yachting in English waters,
and on the Atlantic coast of the United
States, is very different in its require
ments in the respective models which
raced yesterday, for tine reason that when
II yacht or any other vessel leaves the
bounds OF British harbor, she is at once
at sea in all that goes to make that term
among nautical men. Whether in the
English or Irish Channels, or the North
Sea, the English yacht meets deep water
at once, and the heaviest of seas, requr-
ing in her Il good grip OF the water to hold
n weather gauge with competitor, and
never is equipped with the American ad
junct OF Il center-board, being deep
enough in draught, and having keel
enough to ceave the water, on Il wind,
and make no leeway. On the American
coast the conditions differ, "a the water
ut all times other than when exceedingly
heavy storms are blowing, is smooth and
subject to long, even ground-swell,
maintaining smooth and even surface,
ruflled only with such whte-caps as Il
stiff breeze raises in Salt Lake, and there
fore, admitting OF boats OF light draght,
but great beam or width, holding course
with the aid OF Il ccnter-board, just as
vessel could with twice the draught of
wat er. The Galatea draws much more
water than the Mayhower, although
their displacements are equal, and for
this reason, in yesterdays light winds,
the American had the advantage. The
Britisher acknowledged his defeat man.
fully, and by that act gained thousands
OF friends among those who backed the
winning boat. The sport is healthiul
and elevating in its effects, and brings to
the front certain nautical pride, which
cannot have but good results for both
countries. Should the Galatea be sue
cesslul in her next trial, which takes
place tomorrow, Lieutenant Hem will
find Americans to cheer him and his
lovely wife just as heartily as they yes
terday cheered the owner of the May
flower.

A BICYCLE TOURIST.

Mr. Thos. Stevens, who is the first BIZ

says;

narrowest escape from what might have
proved a very serious accident.
Riding back toward the advancing
party, pointed out ny good fortune in
escaping the tumble. The shah asked
if people ever hurt themselves BY falling
bicycles; and the answer THAT fall
such as | would have had BY running full
speed into the ditch might result in bro
ken limbs. the idea seemed to strike
him as particularly humorous. and from
the way he laughed couldn't help think
ing the sending me flying toward a GER

teal Jokes of his, which he is in the hab-
it of occasionally playing. He next

with some difficulty mounted and
forced my way through it for few steps,
to satisfy his curiosity, and than, dis
mounting, trundled along with the party
to a small menagarie enclosed in the
garden. On the way the shah inquired
about the number of bicyclers there are
in England and America, why they don't
use iron tires instead ofrubber, and many
other questions, proving the great inter-
est aroused IN him by the first bicycle
visiting his capital. There had been a
tricycle. here, but mine is the pioneer BIZ
cycle.

horses are richly comparisoned, and the
carriage itself is magnificent English

plush, the interior Of which was further
more embellished BY much mirror work
and small unique specimen of a clock.
