A GRAND scheme has bear

4 eRAyp scheme has bea" devised bv
a New York Genius, who proposes to
send passengers across the Atlantic
ccsan in eight hours by means Ct
pneumatic tubes. He says that people
can eat breakfast in New York and take
late dinner in Liverpool. The plan is
such a good thing that thu inventor
wants this country to get all the 6nan-
ciai advantages from it, and therefore
he proposes to offer the scheme to the
United States government. Ii Congress
fails to accept the proposition to reduoa
the surplus in this way, the inventor
will 60 abroad and this country will be
left out in the cold. 1t is probable that
the United States will take up the
scheme at the same time it puts in oper-
alton the plan to build railway to the
moon.

And i'll face OF this tho wing which is
based on the preferences as expressed in
party convention and ny The Influential
Republican press, there are some who
profess the belief that Blaine will not be
nominated. There are twenty-one Re-
publican and doubtful States, and each
his its own candidate with Mr.. Blaine
as It's second choice. OF all the names
mentioned there is not oae who would
be acceptable to all the States, and not
one VINO could b, nominated without
the consent of Blaine; and there is no
State but would adhere to Blaine as
against all the other candidates save its
own.
The men who gamble or such things
may safely bank on Blaine as against

New YORK, August 11.-Blaine re-
ceived many callers at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel to-day. He will spend Sunday at
Manhattan Beach. He goes to Boston
Monday and will leave there Tuesday for
Augusta. On August 18th he will speak
in Portland at the opening of the State
campaign.
PROBABLY MISTAKEN IMPRESSION.
When asked as to the part he would
take in the National campaign, he said !:
Well, l shall not scatter myself very
much, but shall do all 1 can for the
success of the Republican party. MY
first duty lies at home and shall not be
disposed to do much speaking outside
until We have had our September elec-
ton. No, as at present advised, shall
not 60 to the Pacific coast My impress
sion is that the Pacific States are true to
the doctrine of protection and cannot be
severed from it.
HIS WELCOME AT AUGUSTA.
AUGUSTA, Me-, August 11.-Extensive
preparations are being made here for the

Jets. Judge Whitehouse will deliver an
address of welcome, to which Blaine will
respond. A grand stand for speaking
has been built on Blaine's lawn. A large
number of club organizations and dele
cations of citizens from various parts of
the State will take part in the reception,
which is expected to draw to Augusta the
biggest crowd ever seen here.

Avn Amman ramer,s courage.

A tiger named Athir escaped just before
the performance opened, scattering the Us
sembled audience in all directions, sending
them in search of refuge to tree tops, house
tops, and into houses not their own. 1t is
ono thing to beard tiger in his den, another
to fight him unarmcd i'll open air. But Bidel
was quito equal,to this unexpected call upon
his skill and courage; he experienced ''lemo-
ton de radolescenu son premier duel;" his
only misgiving appears to have been whether
he would prove worthy of himself and those
waiting open mouthed for tho coming fray.
Presently tinlid locker on mustered cour-
age enough to half open q window, and to
announce in whispers the whereabouts of the
escaped beast. The 'tisre royals was in the
dark reccsses OF deserted locksmith's shop.
Into this ''gouffre d'ombro" Bidel flung him
self; and, having become, as he says, famil-
iar with Its obscurity, he espied the crouch
ing Athir in tho net of springing h-ith foam
ing mouth and burning eye. The situation
was what is called critical-it was simply a
question of who should spring first, tiger or.
man. Bidel happily took the initiative, and
bounded upon his prey. There was tremen-
dous tussle-therc were foaminSs, fashings,
howlings-but the dompteur triumphed. BIZ
del seized the tiger by the skin of his back,
and lifting him on his loins, thus bore his
heavy burden in triumph to his cage-a feat,
it must be confessed, not easy to realize,
much less to achicve.-Saturday Review. !.

Tho Banana "Lifters, at tho Piers.

No sort of work about the South street
piers attracts so much attention from the
idlers along shore as tue discharging of q
banana laden ship. When the steamship
Wergeland was at Pier 10 last week there
were no less than fifty men about her, while
the boys were not to be counted because Of
tho way they lodged about 1t takes over
twenty men to do the work, including the
truckmcn who como and go. As the boys
sneaked about they fell up against stack Of
punches of bananas from time to time, and
the punches contained less bananas ut every
fall. Now and then boy got down on
tho steamers deck Here lie was sure to be
seen by the boss 'ongshorcman, but he
walked about with look of innocence on his
face until he got to the pile of over ripe fruit
condemned by the inspector. Then he
dropped on Lis knees after furtive glance at
the boss and began stufIing bananas into his
shirt, which invariably bagged capaciously
over the gunwale Of his trousers. Three diff
fercnt boys wcro seen Mt this by n reporter,
and in each case the boss looked at the lad
out of tho corners of his eyes until q dozen
bananas had been picked up, and then there
was burst of profanity that WIS stunning
to the unaccustomed ear 1t would have
frightened any boy but wharf rat half out
of his wits, and even these made haste to get
ashore as the boss jumped for them.
But it was observed that the boss always
jumped too short, and when be threw any
thing as the boys, which he did at every ut
tack, he missed the mark by very wide
space. The reporter mentioned this circum-
stance to the boss. He crinkled the crows
feet about his eyes bit and said:
"Hit thin! they're that scarf they'd dodge
streak O lightnin'. Look at thin legs and
checks Did yez ever see the loiks av it! It's
the banannies as makes 'cin Git fer pigs."-

Kinc unmbcrt of Italy.

Another royal invalid is King HuEabert Of
Italy. For sorre time rumors have been cur
rent that no was ailins, but it is only within
tho last few days that havo received def
mite details regarding his disease. Humbert
was born on the l4th of March, forty
four years ago, and thus should be in the
prime of life; but, if VIC are to believe his
physicians, both his heart and his liver arc
seriously affected. The latter has given him
considerable trouble for many years, but Of
late ho has been subject to fainting fits. the
first of which occurred during the university
celebration at BJlogna last summer. Since
then the attacks have increased in frequency,
his appetite has diminished and he is rapidly
losing strength.
The faintlng fits arc attributed by the ply
sicians to hypertrophy, or enlargement Of
the muscles OF the heart, which is making
rapid progress. The liver trouble only mani
tests itself at long intervals, but at times
produces such paroxysns of pain that tho
patient is compelled to bend himself do;blo
and grasp the edge of the bed to enable him
to support the agony. AS in both these dis
eases, that of the heart and liver, the
composition of the blood is affected, poor

Tho Location OF Calvary.

Every indication goes to show that Golgo-
tina, or Calvary, was knoll outside of tho
Damascus gate, exactly in the opposite direc-
ton of that affixed by Christian tradition,
and which would do away with the Via
Dolorosa as q sacred thoroughfare, the street
shown Us that along which Christ bore his
cross on his way to execution. 1t is only
probable that Calvary was the ordinary exc
cution ground of Jerusalem, which is called
In the Talmud ''thc House Of Stoning,"
about A. D. $50, and which current tradition
among tho Jews identifies with this knoll-a
tradition borne out by tho account of it con-
tanned in the Mishna, or text of the Talnud,
which describes q cliff over which tho con-
dcmned wns thrown by tho first witness. II
he was not killed by the fall, the second wit
ress cast stone upon him, and the crowd on
the cliff;:or beneath it, completed his exc
cution.
1t was outside the gate, Mt some distance
from the Judgment hall. The knoll in ques-
ton is Just outside the gate, with clif
about fis5y feet high. Moreover, wo are in
formed that sometimes they sunk beam in
the ground. and cross beam extended from
it, and they bound his hands one over the
other and hung him up. Thus tho House of
Stoaing was recognized place of crucifixion.
It is curious that all early Christian tradition
pointed to this site as the place of stoning OF
Stephen, the proto-martyr. Tho vicinity has
apparently always been considered unlucky.
