RAPID TRANSIT.

Some months ago THE GAZETTE printed
accounts of the bicycle railroad project
of Mr.. Moody Boynton, and now it is
said Frenchman has invented a car or
boat that will travel go miles an hour.
A correspondent of the Boston Journal
says the inventor of this ship, which is
of semi-arial character, "is not an
unknown crank living in some poor at
tic i'll cheap part of Paris, but he is
well known among engineers and scien-
tific men and in the industrial world.
Monsieur Jules limbs is the president of
the Syndicate of Inventors at Paris and
it was to that company of scientific men
that he first made known his inven-
ton of means of exceedingly
rapid transit, which they unanimously
agreed was perfectly practicable, Mons.
limbs processes to have his ca s circulate
on sort of interminable br ige resting
on pillars of various heights aid held to-
gether by beams, a kind of elevated rail-
road, in fact. The inventor has adopted
a very long and narrow kind of boat in-
stead of car, supported by an innumer-
able number of wheels, each resting on
only gerry small portion of the track,
so that the load viii be distributed equally
over it, and, in consequence, the
road can be built of light and
cheap material. The tremendous velocity
which these boats are to travel renders it
necessary that there should be no curves
in the road, but it may be inclined at any

A New Variety of Cotton.
Atlanta Constitution.

Mr.. c. A. Alexander of Wilkes county
| years in developing new variety of cot
ton on his plantation. His brother, Mr. .
w. H. Alexander of Augusta recently
sent to the New York Financial Chroni-
Gle parcel containing specimens of the
new plant, together with specimens of
the common variety. The difference be-
| tween the two varieties is in the leaf.
In the common cotton plant the leaf is
solid and wide, the foliage affording a
dense shade, which, in wet weather, is
likely to result in mildew and rotting of
the bolls.
Four years ago, Mr.. Alexander, while
going through the fields, saw a singular
stalk of cotton that was different from all
the rest so far as leaf structure was con-
cerned. He saved the seed from this
plant, and for four successive seasons
has been experimenting with it, and he
has demonstrated that it reproduces
itself.
The popularity of the plant which Mr..
Alexander has propagated is, that instead
of the leaf being solid like the commons
variety, it is what botanists would 9ss1
partie-that is, separated down Very
nearly to the base, those we have received
being divided, some into three and 10Th
ers into four, and others still intos8ye
partitions, so that the new leaf in its conf
plete form is five-fingered. The impor-
tant fact is that the divided variety lets.
the sunlight and air through much
more freely, This is so obvious that it
needs on further explanation.
A first effect of the new form is to
cause more rapid and perfect ripening
of the boil. Another result is that the
air and sunlight which are let in tend to
prevent rot and mildew which always
affect the common plant in prolonged wet
weather, and more frequently in rich
bottoms where the weed grows luxuri-
antly or rankly.
The Chronicle is of the opinion that the
new variety, by reason of the structure
of its leaves, will prove to be exempt
from the depredations of the caterpillar.

INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE.

Indignities offered an American Vessel at the
Hands of the Spanish Government
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec, 27.-The
brigantine Josefa, which arrived at this
port Tuesday from Montego Bay, Jamai-
ca, brings news of an outrage suffered by
that vessel ut the hands of the Spanish
government. While discharging her
cargo on her outward trip from New
York to Arroyo, Porto Rico,
the Spanish custom officials dis
covered that twenty packages
of corn starch which were marked on the
vessels manifest were missing. After
an extended search the goods could not
be found and the vessel was seized by the
Spanish authorities who held her until a
fine of $500 was paid, although the value
of the goods i'll question did not exceed
$40. The master and crew were forced
to suffer many indignitieS at the hands of
the governor of the island and officials
under his authority. Later it was ascer-
taiued that the missing goods were de-
livered by mistake on board the ship
Josephus which lay next to the Josefa in
New York, but were placed on the
Josefa's manifest. Explanations were
made to the Spanish authorities aud the
return of the fine was requested, but was
refused and the vessel left Porto Rico to
load a cargo elsewhere for this city.
James Beck of New York, managing
owner of the Josefa, has filed COM
plant against the Spanish government
with Secretary Bayard. 1t will be urged
that the war ships Galena and Yantio
shall be ordered to continue their cruise
to Porto Rico and summarily secure re-
dress for tine imposition suffered by the
Josefa.

the interests of the state at large are not
neglected, besides it contains news from
