The contract speed requirement for the now
boat is twenty knots, hnt tho builders have
voluntarily guaranteed ii speed or twenty
three knots, md are confident that when the
trial comes the boat will not make less than
twenty-six or twenty seven knots The Ariete
made twenty-six knots on her first official
trip
Tho American boat is Of less draught and
lest length than her English built prototype,
but her tonnage displacement is 90 tons, to
the Aricte's rs. Il tons This means that
while she is smaller than the Arictc, her hold
upon the water will be triile greater thnn
the English built boats.
Tho Herreschotr boat is of tho deep sea
type, has twin screws, and her Dimensions
are follows: Length, 1873 feet; breadth, Is
feet; depth, 10 feet; drnught, 4 feet inches;
displacement, 90 tons. Tho horse power is
estimated at lGG. The engines in developing
this power will to make from 800 to $50 revo-
lutions minute The shafts arc 81 inches
in diameter. and solid. The coal capacity IS
TONS with not an inch for spare bag. Her
engines arc of the fine cylintleled quadruplcd
expansion type; her two boilers are Of tho
latest Herreschoip pattern and protected by
coal bullkers foro and aft Of the engine room.
The interior Of the vessel is electrically light
ed and she is divided into eleven water tight
compartments In each OF the two coming
towers is powerful electric search light
The armament called for by the contract Is
two torpedo tubes in the bow, one torpedo gun
aft, and three 81 pound rapid fire guns,
The English flrm--the Thornycrofts-huve
built three boats Of tho Ariete type, the
Ariete, the Rayo and the Coureur. The first
two were built for Spain and the last for
France. The trials of the new United States
vessel will be watched with interest, as show
Ing tho relative abilities Of American aud
English builders.

|. is Il sui of tradition with The coach,nen
of Paris that they are to strike, il ut all in
the year ul an exposition, and this year they
struck with extraordinary viSor, but with
rather poor success. They chose the moment
when they thought themselves an absolute
NECESSITY and enforced their decree with mil
itnry rigor. Here and there II ''scab' or
'blackleg," I" as he would be called in Amer
lea, took a passenger, whereupon the strikers
quietly stopped him III the street, cut his
lines, assisted the passenger to alight and
gently turned the vehicle on its side. But
they don't allow TINT thing to go very far in
Paris. Those who desired to 60 on their reg
ular routes were protected in SO doing and
the rest soon had to come to terms
In the meantime Pnrisans and visitors
have amused themselves with all sorts of for
eign vehicles. In the exposition grounds they
have tested the Anuamite yoiturc, tho Japa-
nese djh1'ickshnh and the Chinese sedan
chair, whi1o in the streets they have heroic
ally walked. a comparison with other CAPT.
tails of Europe shows that the French coach
men are the best paid except those Of Lon
don SO one may say that the net result Of
their strike was to leave everything rs it was
before, except that many foreigners were ag-
gravated and the satirists Of Paris had many
good laugh at them.

PAVILION OF RIVERS AND FORESTS.
To restore this manufacture has been the
ambition Of the Chinese artists in that line.
In 1851 they succeeded in making what is
called the new porcelaine, in red, white,
blue, cloud and flame" colors, but it was
only occasionally that perfect success could
be attained. The metal with which the col
orinS was done was supposed to ''set at q
temperature of 1900 degs., but at 800 it
would volatlize and the latter was necessary
for the final finish Of the porcelain. The
discovery us claimed, OF reliable process
for setting any of the colors, is pronounced
by the French artists an achievement Of ini
nneus< Importance to the ceramics Of the fut-
ure In the same hall the specimens Of Seyres,
Gobclins, Beauvais, Mosaics and other arti-
cles both beautiful and useful, is described

In the Pavilion Of Rivers and Forests the
exhibit is rather more interesting to Ameri-
Guns as q curiosity, or an exposition OF the
French idea, than as n matter of great value

Foundation of the Sheffield scientific school,
and afterward in making II university of

a scheme for the organization Of Yale
school Of fine arts
In 1865 President Woolsey gave his Greek
library, which comprised nearly 1000 vol
umes and was one of the finest private col
lectlons in existence, to the college, and fol-
lowed it by many other gifts, among them
being a check for $1,000 toward the library
building
After his resignation, in ls7l, DR.. Woosey
lived in New Haven, occasionally giving in
struction in the Yale law school, but devoting
most of his time to researches and studies,
chiefly in political science. For several years
he was ono Of the regents Of the Smithsonian
institution and was member and chairman
Of the American division of the committee
for the revision of the New Testament In
1854 he resigned from tho Yalo corporation.
He was at one time president OF the American
Homo Missionary society.

All the correspondents agree that before
the last Of June the exposition was by far the
greatest ever known. For five weeks each
successive report was more encouraging.
When the number Of strangers In Paris
reached 100000 it was telegraIhed AS some
thing wonderful 1t is now looked back to
as Il mere beginning. At every entrance to
the grounds, say American visitors, an un-
broken stream pours in for six seven

When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
Aud the school for the day is dismissed,
The little ones gather around me-
To bid me good night end be kissed;
Oh, the little white arms that encrcle
My neck In their tender embrace.
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face,
And when they gone sit dreaming
OF my childhood. too lovely to last
OF joy that my heart will remember,
While it wakes to tho pulse OF the past
Ere tho world and its wickedness made me
partner of sorrow aud sin,
When the glory OF God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.

A Letter from the Son Of Charles Dickens
That Ends an Old Controversy.
There is scarcely q reader Of English verse
who has not read and admired tho following
poem, by Charles M Dickinson. the editor Of
The Binghamton Republican. It has been
printed again and again in American and Eng
lish newspapers, in many school books, and
in nearly all collections of verse. The poem
has been invariably credited to the author In
books, but for several years it has been
widely printed in the newspapers over tho
name of Charles Dickens. Mr.. Dickinson
now gives to the public the following note
from the son Of the dead novelist:
HOTEL BRUNSWICK, New YonK,
Oct 20, 1887.
DEAR SIn-In reply to the letter which Mr..
William Henry Smith has been good enough

jury Selected and the Examination
Of Witnesses Begun.

"hen the criminal court opened in Charles
ton, 5. C., yesterday morning the whole side-
walk and lobby of the courthouse was crowded
with dense throng of white and black people
anxious to obtain admission to witness the trial
OF Dr. 4. u. Mellow for the murder of Editor
Dawson. The prisoner was put in the dock
promptly at 10 am. DIR. Mellow is repre-
1sH.eu oy Ex-Governor Magrath and A
II. Cohen. The prosecution was represented
Dy the circuit solicitor and H. A NJ. Smith
Doth Sides announced their readiness 70 begin
tne trial and the states attorney then called out
tne names OF witnesses, thirty-five in number
ABOUT nall OF whom answered. One man was
accepted who said he had expressed an opip-
ION but did not hold il now. Another was re-
lected because he had served on the coroner's
Jury; The state exhausted it's peremptory
challenge on j. NJ Morris and James Strescott
both colored men. Defendant challenged only
nine and succeeded in getting jury composed
Oh seven negroes and five white men. After
excluding the witnesses from the courthouse
TIE CASE WAS OPENED.
In the meantime the prisoner was taken from
the dock and allowed to sit by his counsel. The
state opeued its case by calling John +. Ficken.
who testified that he rode home in a street car
with Dawson on the day of the murder Dawson
seemed IN his usual pleasant frame of mind,
and witness saw no traces of irritation about
him. Augustus Fitch testified TO the same
thing. 5. u. Gordon, colOred policeman. 10
whom Mellow surrendered himself on the night
OF the murder, told the story of his connection
with the crime.
The presence of seven colored men on the
jury Is taken as an indication by a good many
people here that the prisoner will get of.
There are upward Of forty witnesses yet 10 be
examined
