STEAM NAPHTHA LAUNCHES.
Many Big Yachts Provided with 1hen'
 Handy and Cllear.

many bis Yachts Provided Wlth A"'
 Handy and Cheap.
 During the last six months there has been noticeable increase in the demand for steam naphtha launches. All the big yachts of the New ork, Eastern, Seawanhaka-C -Corlnthlan, American. Corinthian, Larchmont, and At lantlc clubs are now supplied with naphtha launches, which ill season they intend to use as tenders i'll the transportation of guests and for towing purposes when the yacht is be- calmed. One manufactory of these launches which started on very small scale has found it necessary to augment it's facilities, and is now building factory covering about four acres at Port Morris in the annexed district In conversation with one of it's officers a re- porter learned that in all about 100 steam and sail yachts are possessed of naphtha launches. Among these are the Electra, of Commodore Eldridge T. Gerry; Corsair, of J. Pierpont Morgan; Alva, of William K. Vanderbilt; Orienta, of J. A. Bostwick; Susquehanna, of Joseph Stickney; Meteor, of A. E. Bateman; Tillie, of Commodore w. H. Starbuck; Dauntless, of Caldwell H. Colt, and the Reva, of Pierre Lorillard.
 The launches are from sixteen to forty feet long. They are finihed in mahogany, cher ry, oak, ash or other light woods, with stat ted or solid seats. The frames are con- structed of seasoned white oak, hackmatack or oak stem. All the launches are planked with white cedar. The engines used in these launches are particularly valuable, because they occupy only eighteen inches ill the stern of the boat, and because they are not noisy, dusty or offensive to the smell. No license is required to run them, nor is all engineer needed. Any person of ordinary intelligence can run the engine with care and safety, whether or not he has any knowledge of ms- chinery. It only requires two minutes to get under headway, and the launch when at full speed can be stopped within it's own length. Naphtha alone is used for power, and used in part for fuel. When the engine stops the consumption of fuel also stops The weight of a two-horse power engine is 200 pounds, or 15 per cent. lighter than the weight of other engines and boiler of the same power. A 16-foot boat draws about IS inches, a 25-foot boat 21 inches, and 4O-foot boat 31 inches of water. A 16 or 1S-foot boat, with two-horse power engine, will carry 10 persons at q 1 speed of miles an hour and at a cost of only 6 cents an hour for power. A 4O-foot boat, with eight-horse power, will carry from 30 to 40 persons at a speed of 10 miles an hour, and ct @ cost of 20 cents an hour for fuel. The cost of 0 16-foot launch, with two-horse power engine, is about 5000, and for a 35 to 4O-foot, eight-horse power engine boat, from g., ,OOO to S3,5OO.-New fork Mail and Ex- | press.

SECRET OF HOODS DEFEAT.

What Col. Mckay Told Gen. John M.
 Palmer About a s2,OOO Poker Iset.
 q had command of corps before Atlanta on July 19, 1864. We were at that time about five miles from the city, on Peach Tree creek Davis division had passed over the creek. About o'clock in the afternoon our boys brought in citizen they had captured on that side of the creek. He was brought before me and questioned him closely He did not appear to know much but said he had read in an Atlanta paper that Gen. John son had been relieved of the command of the opposing army and had been succeeded by Gen. J. B. Hood. Col. Mckay of our side soon happened along and asked me if there was anything new. l told him of the change of commanders on the part of the enemy: that Johnson had been succeeded by Hood.
 He appeared greatly alarmed, and exclaimed: My God, general that means trouble-I tell
 you Hoods fighter I was somewhat alarmed myself and asked Mckay what he
 knew about Hoods fighting qualities: "McKay said: Well, sir general, I was ill San Antonio Tex, once, before the war. and I saw that man Hood bet g, coo on 8 hand in 2 game of poker, and he didn't have even a pair of jacks.
 ''Well, didn't say much in response, but decided in my mind that man who would bet 2,OOO on hand ill friendly game of
 poker when he diddt even have one pair to back him would be 8 bad man to meet on a ! field of battle when he was backed by several l thousand able bodied Confederate soldiers, and the sequel proved that Mckay was not l wrong in his estimate.
 ''It was then about dark. I got my men l together and told them expected we would have to fight tomorrow. I threw my line across the creek and commenced that night ! to build Notifications, and the next morning our forces were all across the creek, and we. l had plenty of earthworks for an emergency 1 [ ordered dinner to be served to the men by l II o'clock About that time Gen. Thomas came along, saluted me, and asked, What's l the matterp saying at the same time We must 1 be ready to move forward as soon as Rockers
 men have had their dinner,' and expressing
 the opinion that we would now march into
 Atlanta without opposition.
 II said, General, think you are mistaken:
 think we are going to have a fight had
 scarcely ceased speaking when we heard l terrible firing to our left. l immediately l dispatched messenger in that direction, who
 soon returned with the information that
 Hood had made a terrible charge on our left,
 and had already broken through two lines of Davis division and was now charging in our direction, and, sure enough, he was soon down upon us. But with my preparations
 already described, we were ready to meet
 tim, and you bet we gave him a warm recep-
 tion, and we defeated him after hard fight l Ing, and soon thereafter marched victorious l into Atlanta. Had it not been for McKay's 1 story of the $2,O00 bet he would have made it very uncomfortable for us. As it was, we
 were ready for him. "-Gen. John M. Palmer

An Aeronautical Advance.

The so called "governable airship" of Dr. Wolfert is driven forward or backward by means of fanlike propeller at the forward end of the car, while a second propeller, di- rectly under the car, serves to raise or lower the balloon without loss of ballast or of gas. The horizontal propeller may be turned to right or left, thus serving as a rudder. In an experimental apparatus, the aeronaut, seated like bicycle rider, readily drove either or both of the prcpellers at rate as high as 250 revolutions per minute. The trial was made near Dresden with cigar shaped bal loon about sixty feet long, with lifting power of about 800 pounds; and the motions of this were under perfect control, even against a moderate wind. A peculiar system of netting gave the car remarkable steadi- ress The inventor expects soon to launch an airship capable of carrying fifty men, sub stituting an electric engine for the foot power of his first xperiments.-Arkansaw Traveller.
 There are l22 Protestant churches and places of worship in Paris, with L.nety ministers. Of these eighteen churches, with fifteen ministers, belong to the Reformed church of France, and sixteen churches, with nineteen ministers, to the Luthern chuuch.
 A table showing the percentage of college students who enter the ministry, prepared by Professor G. P. Morris, shows the following decrease: At Harvard, from 55 per cent. in 1850 to per cent. in 1875; at Yale, from "A per cent. in ITO to 8 per cent. in 1880; at Princeton, from 49 per cent in 175O to IS per cent. in 1875; at Williams, from 25 per cent in 1900 and 40 per cent. in 1895, to 12.7 per rent. in 1880; at Amherst, from GA per cent. in 1895 to 13.5 per cent. in 1880. Wesleyan still shows so.per cent. of ministers among her graduates.

GRADES Of the service to which it is apple
ALE. The spirit and purpose Of the re-
form should be observed in all executive
appointments, and all laws at variance
with the object Of existing reform leglsIa-
tion should be repealed, to the end that
the danger to free institutions which turks
in the power of official patronage may be
wisely and effectively avoided"
The gratitude Of the nation to the de.
fandets Ol the union can not be measured
by laws. The legislation of Congress
should conform to the pledges made by a
loyal people, and be so enlarged and ex-
tended as to provide against the possibility
that any man who honorably wore the
federal uniform shall become the inmate
Of an almshouse, or dependent upon
private charity. In the presence of an
overfowing treasury it would be public
scandal to do less for those whose valor-
Gus service preserved the government.
We denounce the hostile spirit shown by
President Cleveland in his numerous
vetoes Of measures for pension relief, and
the action Of the democratic house Of
in refusing even consid-
Grafton of general pension legislation.
In support Of the principles herewith
enunciated we invite the cooperation Of
patriotic men Of all parties, and especially
Of all workIngmen whose prosperity Is
threatened by the free trade
policy Of the present administration.
Additional plank submitted by Mr..
Boutelle of Maine, and adopted by an
almost unanimous vote: The first con-
Germ OF all good government is the virtue
and sobrety of the people and the purity
Of the home. The republican party

we'll directed efforts for the promotion of
aud morality.

The snakes warmed in the bosom
of the present administration are be-
ginning to hiss and show their teeth
about the custom house in Louisville.
Says the Times: "rhe gloom around
the custom house is so thick that ii
can be cut with knife. The only
exception TO this is in the Pension
office, which is a Republican strong
hold. Mrs. Warlield, the chief clerk,
and her Republican assistants are
extravagsntly delighted with the
way the election has gone, and the
two or three Democrats who hold
S35 a-month positions are correspond
ingly unhappy. The Republicans
have no great reason for rejoicing,
however, for General Buell., when he
secured a small extra allowance for
salaries, divided it among the Repub-
licans and let the Democrats work on
at the old pay. They can expect no
better treatment from a new pension
agent"
