disappearing at times behind an island or
a point, then suddenly bursting into view
to describe new curves of beauty. Even
though the observer be comfortably housed
on terra 1irma he cannot but feel some Of
that thrilling of the pulse felt by the
yachtsman. The ice boat is the swiftest
of crafts. Far above all other means Of
rugged enjoyment during the frozen sea-
son i'll the north, the yacht OIL skates has
long maintained its position as king.
The ice boat is q mere skeleton. A
water yacht weighs tons where an ice
yacht weighs pounds. The main timbers
in all ice boat are arranged in the form of
the letter L, the perpendicular line of the
letter representing the center timber,
which runs from the foot of the mast to
the stern of the boat The horizontal line
Of the letter may stand for the runner
plank, on each end of which is a large
skate, called a runner. At the junction
Of the center timber and the runner plank
is the mast bench, which acts as socket
for the mast. From the aftermost end of
the center timber side rails run diagonally
to points about half way between the
masts and the ends of the runner plank
One Or two braces cross the center timber
from one side rail to the other. Morticed
into the forward end Of the center timber
is the heel of the bowsprit. 1t will be
seen from the diagram that the outlines
Of the boat when completed are diamond
shaped.
The correct proportions Of typical
Hudson river ice boat are as follows: Gen.
ter timber, 2G feet 9 inches; length over
all, including bowsprit, so feet 10 inches;
runner planks, 10 feet 1-2 inches; sail
area 539 1-2 square feet; cost, $3.50.

pROPOSED ARCADE HALLWAY.
on Broadway was that the travel had out
grown the conveniences. The Brooklyn
bridge was looked to for some relief; but the
approaches to the bridge cars are jammed
with humanity for three hours late every
afternoon, and still the street travel in
creases. So New York has taken up the
last alternative, an underground railway.
The proposed road is to run from City
Hall park near the postoffice, through
Elm street, to the Grand Central depot
on Forty-second street-a distance of
three miles. They call it the "Arcade
Road" it sounds better; and the inten-
ton is to make all the approaches to its
stations very attractive above ground.
The road proper, with stations, will
cost but 81, 100000 mile; but the
terminal facilities and rolling stock
are expected to cost at least half as much
more, and the city authorities insist that
tunnels must be provided under the tracks,
for all the gas pipes, water pipes and
other connecting works. The motive
power is to be electricity or the newly
adopted fireless steam engine with stored
and superheated steam. Two years arc
allowed for the completion Of the three
mile section, and thereafter the line is to
he EXTENDED gradually up 10 hlHssDrluge,
at the extreme northern limit of the city.
So the reader who does not visit New York
till 1894 -95 may expect to 60 down into a
beautifully rallied basin near the postofiice,
take his seat in q pleasant car and be nine
miles away in half an hour; for there will
be two tracks for express trains and two
for way trains.
It should be added that there are those
who hold thst this project will never be
carried out-and of course the influence
of the elevated roads will be against it.
The scheme was supposed to be near fru
ition some three or four years ago, but it
fell through.

trustees, but as they could not agree upon
a design, the general government was
obliged to take the matter in hand, and
the result is not at all displeasing to the
general public. The original commission
in charge of the work was composed
of Senators Bayard, Miller, Of New
York; Hawley, Hill, of Colorado,
and Hampton, and Representatives
Ranney, Ketcham, Curtin, Beach,
Burrows, Knott, Townsend, of Ohio, and
Ellis. The last three named and Senators
Bayard and Hill were not in congress at
the time the final report of the joint COM
mittee adopting the design was submitted
and accepted. The report of the commits
sion is a historical document, with illus
trations and much valuable information.
The erection of the Tower of Victory
was prosecuted under the direction of the
secretary of war. The foundation was
laid in September, 1886. It is not known
when the dedication will take place, as
there is no money available for such
purpose; but bill appropriating $1,000
therefor will soon be introduced in con-
gress, and it is hoped the ceremonies will
take place in April.

LORD DCIsllAM. DTIteu turImln,
Sir George Chetwynd. This led to a
challenge to a duel from Sir George,
which Lord Durham declined, preferring
q suit in the courts.
Lord Durham, though not over SO years
Of age, has lived long enough to become u
peer Of England, to have figured in a di-
yorcc case, at the end Of which he had
raised such q storm of Indignation as to
obligc him to leave England. He was one
of twins, and, having come into the
world two minutes before his brother,
fell heir to some $500, 1000 income, while
the later arrival was obliged to
content himself with IL beggarly $2O,O00
The elder brother with Il title and u splen-
did income was, of course, regarded as u
desirable catch for any young English
woman who could secure him for i. hus-
band. Among the London beauties of
the season Of 1889 was a Miss Miner, a
member Of an old Yorkshire family, and
one of the most famous beauties in Lon
don. This young lady was pressed by her
relatives to accept Lord Durham's title
and princely income. Unfortunately for
her their acceptance was clogged by the
necessity of taking Lord Durham HIM
self, but she finally married him.
In short time Lord Durham who
seems to have become as anxious to get
rid Of his wife as he had been to secure
her, brought suit for divorce on the
ground that she was mentally imbecile
The trial of this case attracted great at
tention, and was the cause of great SYM
pathy for the young woman who had been
sacrificed by her family for the sake of
position and gain. The earl's petition for
annulment of the marriage was denied,
and he retired from the suit, followed by
the Indignation of British society.
After a prolonged tour abroad this
no5leman returned to England and at
tempted to win money where he had failed
to win respect.

It was forty minutes before the jam was

strip was designed to be only the outskirts,
first. of Il fort and camp; second, Of

then OF Il small city. When the border Of
the growing town got up to the present
Park row, the city dads concluded it was
big enough, and abandoned for a while
what little system they had, allowing the
side streets to take the fanciful course and
names Of Park and Bowery. And on top
of this irregular Dutch burg has grown
the mighty city of New York-a giant in

to be cut out of the first story Of each

the street would remain to support the
upper stories; the pavement would be
sheltered, and all the street could be given
to traffic. But before this system could
be perfected the city grew SO large that it
was plainly insufficient. Then came the
elevated roads, and all New York joined
in q song Of triumph that the problem
was solved. Eut traffic grew and pas

the defending deputies was killed. Hig-
ginson was indicted for murder because Of
his part III this affair, us were Wendell
Phillips, Theodore Parker and Others
They We're never tried, however, u flaw
in that instrument leading to the quash-
ing of the indictment. In 1856 he passed
some time in Kansas with the free state
enigrants, having helped to form several
parties who took up their residence there.
A personal acquaintance Of John Brown,
he aided in plan to rescue him after SEN
tence had been passed upon him, and
served on the free STATE forces
as brigadier general on James H.
Lanes staff. When the civil war
broke out he offered himself to the gov
ernor OF Massachusetts, recruited two
companies near Worcester, received a
commission as captain in the Fifty-1irst
Massachusetts volunteers, and while still
in camp was made colonel of the First
South Carolina volunteers, afterward
called the Thirty-third United States Col
ored troops. This was the first regiment
of freed slaves enrolled in the United
States army, and it was Col. Higginson's
ardent desire to command them that led
to the preparation of the following re-
markable production by rhymester Of
the time:
There was q young curate of Worcester,
Who could have command If he'd choose ter;
But he said each recruit
Must be blacker than SCOT,
Or else he'd go preach where he used ter.
After capturing and holding Jackson
vile, Fla, Col. Higginson was wounded
at Midtown Bluff, S. c., in August, 1868,
and resigned in October, 1864, on account
Of disability.
Upon his return to civil life Col. Hig-
ginson turned his attention largely to
literature, residing at Newport. r. l., for
q number of years. EARLY in life he had
developed strong interest in the cause of
woman suffrage, and now that the negro's
emancipation was an accomplished fact
he devoted much of his time to the idea
Of enfranchising the gentler sex. He
often spoke from the lecture platform in
the palmy days of the lyceum, and he has
written much and well, his earliest work
being compilation with Longfellow Of
poetry for the seaside, published under
the title "Thalatta" in 1853, and his
latest, SO far, "Hints on Writing and
Speaking" published in 1887. In 1880
and 1881 he was a member of the Massa-
chusetts legislature, serving as chief of
staff to the governor during the same
time, and in 1888 he was member of
the Massachusetts state board of educa-
tion.
Col. Higginson's wife, who is niece of
Longfellow's first wife, is woman of
literary tastes, and their home on Obser-
vatory hill, Cambridge, is a favorite resort
for many men and women of culture.

The material for building the boat
should be we'll selected. For the center
timber white pine will do, though q
tougher wood is better. The runner
plank or planks should not be made of
anything less tough than ash. The rum
ner skates at the end Of the runner planks
are held by chocks made of white oak.
The runners are fastened between these
chocks by an iron bolt, which acts as q
pivot, allowing the runner skate free play
up and down, like rocker. This is to
provide for passing uneven places in the
ice. A rubber spring is often placed over
the skate to ease the jolting. The runner
skate is made of white oak and shod with
iron. the iron being bevcled and quite
sharp. There should be two sets, the one
very sharp for smooth ice and strong
winds, the other somewhat duller for
rough or soft ice and light winds.
The rudder is runner skate, very
sharp in order that it will take hold of
the ice. The helmsman sits in a small
cockpit or box, constructed Of white pine,
ash or spruce, from which he must steer
with great care. Too sudden turn OF
the tlller when running fast would pro-
duce a sudden curve to which there
would be tangent line representing the
crew flying straight on over the ice in the
direction from which the boat was de-
fected. Then, cracks must be carefully
passed. First the boat is headed SO rs to

Thirty-five thousand dollars, of which
the state of New York contributed $1O.-
600, has been expended upon the con-
struction of the Tower of Victory, which
has just been turned over to the trustees

IS q rectangular structure, built of native
stone, 81 by 80 feet on the ground and 53
feet high. Its position commands fine

battery on Morris Island at the Star
of the West, when that vessel
came to the relief Of the Fort Sumter
garrison. George Z. Haynsworth fired
the first shot, and thus had the distinc-
ton of opening the war of secession. His
disposition was so modest and retiring
that when The Century Magazine at-
tempted to procure his photograph some
years since he positively refused to allow
its publication. He next volunteered in
the Manning Guards, of which his brother
was commander, and then served success
sively at Fort Sumter and Battery
Wagner, where he displayed the most
reckless daring. He was engaged in
the battle Of Bentonville, N. c.,
and in his native county, Sumter.
had the reputation of having fired there
the last shot in the war. For gallantry
at Fort Sumter he was commissioned a
lieutenant in 1862. During his whole
term Of military service he never received
scratch or wound. After the war Mr..
Haynsworth taught school for several
years, studied law and was admitted to
the bar. Two years ago he was appointed
trial justice Of the town of Sumter, the
faithfulness, intelligence and to the entire
satisfaction of the community. He was
general favorite of the people Of Sumter,
and his death is universally deplored. He
leaves two motherless little boys.
Daniel Ezra Keels, one Of the wounded
men, was born in Sumter county, S. c.,
in September, 1886. He was poor boy
and supported himself by farming, at the
same time getting the rudiments of an
English education at a cross roads country
school. He entered the war at the
first call to arms, although he always
claimed to be Union man, and was made
first lieutenant in one of the companies of
Kershaw's s regiment. He served at Nor
ris Island, Charleston harbor, and was an
eye witness of the raising of the first Con-
federate flag on Fort Sumter. He was
discharged from military duty after two
years. service on account of ill health.
After the war he resumed planting and
engaged in making turpentine. He never
mixed in politics until the Hampton cam
paign of 1876 In 1882 he was elected to
the legislature, where he served two
terms. In 1886 he was an unsuccessful
candidate for state senator from Sumter
