Am ocean steamer's Rough Passage

NEW YORK Feb. 2S.-The North German Lloyd steamer Elder, which left Bremerha- ven on the 17th inst, arrived here this after noon. The vessel looked as if she had been in the Polar seas. Her rigging and spars were covered with a thick coat of ice and snow. First Officer Wanske stated that the voyage had been an unusually rough one, heavy seas breaking constantly over the ship and rem dering the presence of the passengers on deck almost impossible. The severe storm and icy blizzard which swept over New York last week struck the steamer when off the banks. A sailor was washed overheard and lost and the first officer had his fingers fro zen while casting the lead. This is the long est passage the Elder has ever made between EurQne and America.

 Shivered Into spinrers.
 PoUGHKEEPs1E, N. Y., Feb. 28.-There was the widest kind of iceboating by yachts of the Hudson River club over the six-mile course at Hyde Park yesterday, the sailing being terrific and very exciting. The wind blew gale from the northwest, and the big yachts carried close reefed mainsails and jib, but the smaller ones reefed nainsails only. The surface of the ice was as smooth as mirror. E. P. Rogers St. Nicholas and Archy Rogers Jack Frost were sent over the course to test the ice. The St. Nicholas made the six miles in six minutes, and Jack Frost had part of her mainsail carried away coming home. The first race was between the St. Nicholas and Jack Frost, over dis tanee of twelve miles, the latter winning in 24 minutes, the St, Nicholas com ing home ten minutes later. After the race a bowling squall struck the Frost and she ran away throwing Archy Rogers out, but he caught the end Of her boom and was dragged over the ice mile minute for long distance until the boat suddenly wheeled round. breaking his hold and 1ae rolled over and over far away from her. Then occurred the widest scenes ever witnessed in ic5 boating. Again the wind struck the Frost's mainsafl heavi- ly, and as it was close trimmed she started of once more with tremendous speed and without helmsman. The ice dotted with skaters. Three ice yachts lay off tfe club house. Guests of the club, including ladies, were standing on the low bank of the river, and ss the runaway ice. yacht sped along with the fury of the gale there were many bisnched faces it was almost certain that one mere would be killed She was going straight for the club house mile minute. The skaters scattered in ever direction and there were shouts and screams from the shore as the yacht tore sleng over the ice, passing within ment had fallen. The yachts St. Nicholas and Snowflake were standing heads to the wind fifty feet apart, and the Frost dashed between them and ran with terrific speed head on into Bard's Rock and she was smashed into kindling wood.
 The next race was between Bard Rogers Snowflake N. P. Rogers Bessie and F. c. Rogers Snowfall, over the six mile course, the Bessie winning in I'm. 55s., beating the Snowball 35 seconds. The third race was between the Snowflake and Snowball, the latter winning in 8 minutes. The fourth racs was between the Bessie and Snowbal, the Bessie winning iti I'm. 3Os. These two boats were so closely matched that they were sent off again-this time the Saowba1l beat ing the Bessie 15 seconds, winning the six mile contest in I'm. lbs.

PIatsted and Ross to Row BOat
 Down the River.


 BosTON, Feb 2S.-Oarsman Fred Plalsted in an interview last evening said that the proposition of himself and Ross to row a boat through the Niagara rapids next sum- mer was not the huge joke that many seemed to think, but an enterprise that would surely be attempted. II do not think it danger ous," said he ssThe boat will have plenty of beam, grating for floor and no bottom. If we fill with water we can't sink because we will have air tight compartments around the boat and the water we take in will quick ly disappear through the grating. If any thing should happen, why, we are both good swimmers and would make grand struggle before we went under. It will be money in our pockets if we succeed, and if we fail our wives and children will have the benefit of it. There fig positively less danger in trying to row through the rapids than there is in going out on the frontier for SIS month and found, and we get $2, 800 for what we are going to do Oh, one point about it is that we row with our faces toward the danger ln- l stead of rowing in the ordinary way We | were both up at Niagara Falls about week | ago and made our calculations and measure ments of distance"

HOW JUMBO WAS SKINNED.

The Process of Completing the
 Worlds Greatest Taxidermic Spec1.
 men.
 ROCHESTER, Feb 29.-The manner of skin- ming and mounting the dead Jumbo, which has just been successfully accomplished here by Professor H. A. Ward of this city, is very interesting. In the first place, the skin was removed by slittfng 1t along the belly and then making circular incisions around the body and taking it off in strips. It was then soaked for two months in a bath of arsenic and other ingredients until it was thoroughly tanned. During this period of time the bones were steamed and exposed to the sun to bleach, 8 treatment that not only caused all the flesh and fragments to drop off, but caused much of the oil of the bones to exude and evaporate, until they are now as white as snow. Professor Ward had taken the measurements of the monster and while the skin and bones were in process of treatment he had constructed heavy wooden skeleton, and braced by steel rods. two of which, two inches in diameter, support each leg. Jumbo's weight was about seven tons. l he skin, when first taken off, weighed 1, 53S pounds and varied from half an inch to an Inch and half in thickness. After it was tanned it was scraped and cleaned until it had 8 uniform thickness of half an inch. The stuffed skin, platform and all, weighs about three tons. The skin is nailed to the wood en framework with "A, 4S0 nails and actually retains the folds and the grooves natural as in life.

"And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye
 not Stand still and see the salvation of the
 Lord, which he will show to you this day"
 The lesson which the pastor drew from the
 above text yesterday morning was that there
 was time to stand still and wait for the
 Lord to act. The flight of the children Of
 Israel was depicted in graphic language.
 They had done all they could when they ap-
 proached the sea with Pharaoh's army be-
 hind them. The heroic faith of their leader inspired them to await what seemed ap- proaching doom, believing that God would deliver. To everyone there comes time when he must wait and trust to God to bring about the result for which he had prayed Waiting is harder than working. On the way to Canaan every soul must cross the sea, a sea that is never parted but by the grace and power of God. He who expects to part that by his own efforts, to bury by his works his own sin, to do Gods work must fail "Simply to thy cross cling'' means "Await and trust" It | is hard We cannot avoid the complaisance | which comes from moral acts; the thought | that we are earning our own salvation while l we are borrowing on Gods credit. In the trials l of business life, of sickness, of religious l work, there comes time to all when they l must stand and wait
