The sloop had beaten the cutter 13 minutes

pretty picture as she laid down to her SOUP

Capt. Stone put the Mayfower about at

to tack, so at 2.22 Capt. Stone brought the

the light air under the land, while the
Galatea lay almost becalmed for 40 minu tes.
The cutter tackled at 4.37 and made short
board: for inshore, going about again at
4.45. From here the sail up the New Jersey
approached the finish the excitement be-
came intense among the passengers on the
steamers. There was no longer any fear
that the Mayfiower would be defeated, but
the limit of time, seven hours, had almost
expired, and there was great fear that after
being near the goal the Boston sloop might
not be able to finish.
Just as all hope was dying out, the breeze
freshened, and with only minutes and 20
seconds to spare the MayfOWer shot across
the finish line, close hauled on the port tack,

up by the Luckenbach. As she came to

rousing cheers, which the Engishmen

Great excitement has been caused at Chat

eight years old when the first railroad
locomotive was brought from England
and placed on exhibition in New York.
He was thirty-nine years old when the
first line of telegraph was put into op-
Grafton between Washington and Bal
timore. During his life the States have
increased from sixteen to thirty-eight,
and the population from five and one
half to near sixty millions. The sickle
and hand rake; the fail and threshing
floor, the rude plow and harrow have
given way to the mower, the reaper,
the self-binder, the horse rake, the
steam plow, the corn-planter, the culti-
vatOr. the horse drill, and the thresher
and cleaner. The pack horse, the
stage and the sailing vessel have given
way to the tightening train and pala-
tial steamer. The tardy motion of COM
munieation by mail, carried on horse
back and by stage, has been supplanted
by the mail car, the telegraph and
telephone. The world has been wrapped
and bound into a smaller compass by
the speed of the ocean steamer, the iron
railway and the wires of the telegraph
and telephone. And thus the coun-
tries which in his youth were regarded
as afar off, have been brought close to
us, and their people have become our
next door neighbors. The lands of
Judea and Gallilee, where our Lord
walked, taught and performed his
miracles and dispensed his mercies, are
not so far away now as was the mother
country in his yonth. An enlarged and
enlightened state policy, and organized
christian charities, have erected asylums
for the deaf and dumb, the blind, the
insane, the helpless, the orphan, the
old and infirm. Surfdom and slavery
have almost disappeared from the
earth, and everything has been and now
is rapidly tending towards the univer-
sal brotherhood of mankind. And thus
as the gas and electric lights have dis
placed the tallow candle of his youth,
so the common schools, multiplied col
leges, and a christian benevolence have
been working together for the anchor
alton of the race. Into the glorious
light and liberty of this, the most re-
markable of all the centuries, he was
born, and in it he and they have lived,
witnesses of its stirring events, until the
century has grown old.
It is to be hoped that in the final
consumation, this family, and all other
families may be reunited, in that better
country, where the years shall not
bring age, and where time shall work
no separation.

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonies
Of severe attack of rheumatism, neural
gia or sciatica and relief comes, it seems as
if a new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
o. P. Shaffer, formerly managing editor
of the News-Register, Youngstown, o.,
said in recent interview with him: 81
have suffered from rheumatism for about
thirteen years. At different intervals /
have been unable to attend to my business
for weeks at time. The most Of my
trouble was in my hands and arms. The
pain was usually accompanied with con-
siderable swelling of my hands. During
these years l have used many kinds of
remedies with only temporary relief. Being
in the newspaper business I had come in
contact with various medicines that were
advertised in our columns, but really never
had much faith in patent medicines. A
little over three years ago my attention was
called to Athlophoros. noticed from
time to time the strong endorsement of
parties that had used the remedy and was
sent to us for publication in our paper.
Through this means concludedto try the
medicine for my own case. Twas relieved
and cured in remarkably short time"
Have you been troubled with rheuma-
tism since," was asked. "I was entirely
rid of it for two years and then had another
slight attack, but few doses Of Athlopho-
ros soon drove it away /; since that time,
about a year ago, I have been entirely free
from rheumatism. This was all done with
less than bottle of medicine. I always
recommend it for rheumatism"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and .Athloplioros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought OF the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., ll2 Wall St., New York, will
send either Carriage paidl on receipt Of
regular price, which is SLIGO per bottle
for Athlophoros and SOC. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, In
digestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases
of women, constipation, headache, impure
blood, &C., Athlophoros Pills are uneoualed. Z

After Tappan's Scalp.
[Chillicothe Advertiser.1

"The Kenyon College boys are under
obligations to the Republicans for nom-
mating Prof. Tappan for State School
Commissioner
The speaker was formerly a Student
at Kenyon College.
II suppose all the old college boys
will rally to the support of Tappan," !"
remarked the reporter.
Yes, they'll rally; but with knife
in their boot legs, and won't they
whoop up things for Tappan?"
You don't seem to be stuck on your
old INSTRUCTOR"
"Stuck? Well, I should say not!
Neither is any one that went to Ken
yon while Tappan had anything to do
with the institution. He never treated
the students like young men, but, in
stead, like lot of small boys, who
were entitled to no respect nor becom-
ing treatment. There never was a col
lege professor anywhere who was more
thoroughly despised by students than
this same Tappan. Why, whileI was
at Kenyon he was hung in effigy. He
has had mania for office. The college
students we'll knew this weakness, and
at one election every student entitled
to vote scratched the name of his
party candidate for Infirmary Direc-
tor from his ticket and inserted Tap
pans name. The people over the
county didn't understand why Tappan
was voted for in College township for
Infirmary Director-they didn't know
that the Students took that means to
humiliate him for his general mean
ness. For a number of years Tappan
was President of the college, and from
the time he assumed the Office to the
day he resigned, old Kenyon was on
the downward course. The number of
students in attendance grew less year
after year, and if it had not been heav-
lily endowed it would have been COM
PEELED to close its doors while Tappan
was at the head ofit."
$50 the old boys will not rush to the
support of Tappan?"
mo, sir; there are many of the old
students of Kenyon College, in Ohio,
and I guess they all feel gratified to the
Republicans for nominating him, thus
giving them an opportunity to present
their compliments to him by voting
against him on election day. Besides,
Tappan is not q fit man for the place" :"
"Why, Prof. Tappan is learned
man."
"Yes, he has plenty of book learning,
but that is all. He is simply theorist.
There is nothing practical about the
man. He never had any experience in
the common schools. and if he were
placed at the head of the system his
term would be one of experiments,
which would result to the injury of the
common schools. If the people of Ohio
were as well acquainted with Prof,
Tappan as are the old students of Ken
yon, he would be defeated by the larg-
est majority ever cast against candi-
date for office in the State of Ohio"

CORRESPONDENTS: Yes, you are right,
the lady you speak of does use arsenic
for her complexion, but she is very
much mistaken when she thinks it
makes her look pretty. That butter
milk hue which it gives to her .counte-
nance is easily detected. Everybody
can tell that she uses arsenic, and the
first thing she knows the coroner will
be cutting her up to find out what she
died with. Nothing so good for the
complexion as good plain victuals and
healthy exercise.
