A RcmarknbIe Race.


For two sailing vessels to leave a Chi
nese port on the same day, at almost the
same hour, and, after voyaging consider
ably more than half way around the
world to reach New York no farther
apart than when they started from Hong
Kong, is am event, which, while not un-
precedented comes not far from being
miraculous. The Tam o. Shanter and the
Wandering Jew, both of them American
ships, built and owned in the state of
Maine, have just accomplished this re-
markable feat. The Tam o. Shanter is Of
1,522 tons burden. halls from Portland
and has twenty years of service to her
credit The Wandering Jew is a Camden
vessel, 12S tons heavier than her rival and
has not wandered about the seas so long
by two years. During the long journey
of ninety-eight days there seemed to be a
strange conspiracy on the part of winds
and waves and currents to keep the two
ships in company. Even when one of the
racers carried away some Of her sails
the other was unable to take advantage Of
the accident and haul ahead, for the
squat that did the damage was followed
by calm. Before the breeze came again,
new. pinions had been spread by the tenn
porarily disabled vessel and the contest
of speed was resumed on equal terms.

Stricken with an IncurabIe Disease

(From the argus and Patriot, Montpelier, ~
Eight years ago Geo. Hutchinson moved
from Bradford to Chelsea, VT, and bought
the sawmill at the latter place. He was
known as one of the strongest men in that
section. On Dec. 10, '92 while at work in
the mill, he was struck in the back by a
hyihg board, which seriously injured him
and incapacitated him for work of any
kind. As result of this, Locomotor Ataxia
set in, (this is form Of paralysis which
depriYes the patient of all use of his lower

Mr.. Hutchinson TO-DAY, and his story is
here given in his own words.

How a Woman Served a Writ.

From The PhiIadeIph. C9II
II have seen many ways of serving
writs on persons, but the one that l witt
messed at the Central station the other
day beats them all" remarked a well
known lawyer. THE case was one where
a wife charged her husband with assault
and battery. Both husband and wife were
represented by counsel, and after the
woman had finished giving her testimony
she astonlshed Magistrate Pole and all the
spectators by taking hold Of her hus-
bands hand and thrusting the writ upon
him. The mans attorney was as much
surprised as anybody else, and he refused
20 allow his client 10 receive the LEGAL pa
per. WhereupOn the latter threw Il on the
floor This did not help matters any, for
the woman declared that the W.T. had been
served and she was satisfied. Her position
was backed up By several lawyers IN the
room"
