VALKYRIE ARRIVES.
The Dunraven Cutter Had Heavy Seas and Head
 Winds on Fer Passage.


 New York, Aug. 1S.-Valkyrie III has arrived. The boat which Lord Dun raven has built to wrest the American cup and the yachting supremacy from Yankeedom is at anchor in New York harbor.. After encountering heavy seas and considerable head winds since her departure from Gourock Bay. Scotland. on July 2, the cup challenger arrived at Sandy Hook light ship at 50 o'clock this evening on her twenty-second day out. Her passage from Martin Head. where she dropped her tug on the other side, to Sandy Hook, 2770 nautical miles, took her twentyone days, nine hours and twenty-one minutes, an average of 129 miles a day.
 The Vieilant last April made 29S4 miles. from the Lizard to Sandy Hook, in eigh- teen days, one hour and forty-hve min utes, daily average of 16S miles, but the Vigjlant had more favorable weather than the, Valkyrie III has experienced. The Dunraven cutter made the ocean voyage without serious nlishap, and al- though her time breaks no record, she has made a remarkable trip. A clever British skipper and plucky British tars brought through stiff winds and heavy seas the low racing craft with flush deckss and scarcely an apprehension of these on board. With q peculiar ketch rig of stout spars and tough canvas the modern racing machine crossed the At lantic where many big steamship has come to grief. The long, low, slender craft made her way under canvas until twenty miles to the eastward of Sandy Hook light ship, when at o'clock this evening she took q line from tow boat and came into harbor with fleet of tugs and the propeller City of Bridgeport, which is to act as her tender, lowering about.
 At 9:45 the fleet arrived at Quaran- tire. pr. Doty, by special request, board ed the Valkyrie. and after brief e;sami- nation passed her She was then lowed to an anchorage off Liberty island.

The Infamous Holmes CastIe /DeStroyed by
 Fire.
 Chicago, Aug. 19-The big flat building on the corner of Sxty-third and Wallace streets Englewood in which is located the historic Holmes Castle" was de- stroyed by fire early this morning. The fire was discovered shortly after mid night. An alarm was sent in. The En- glewood fire company was on the scene In a short time, but owing 10 the flimsy con. struction it gained headway rapidly, and was soon beyond control of the depart ment at work. Engines were sent from Morgan park. the Fifteenth station, the Sixtv-third street house and one or two other departments but as the distance from the fire was considerable the flames had gained such headway that they were uncomfortable by the time they arrived, and the huilding was destroyed.

Conflicting Views of Eloquence.

In the recently published life of
GEORGE William Curtis there is an ac-
count of conversation between Mr..
curtis and Roscoe Conkling on the
subject of eloquence at the time when
tne relations of the two men with
each other had been undisturbed. Mr..
0onkling asked Mr.. Curtis what was
,ne most eloquent passage of an author
ne could remember Mr.. Curtis i'm
mediately recited passage from one
VI Emerson's essays. Mr.. Conkling
iailed to approve it as the best speci-
nen within his knowledge, and gave
sS his ideal an extract from Charles
Sprague's Fourth of July Grafton in
boston descriptive of the American
indian as our forefathers found him
mr. Curtis found this extract only ridi-
suious in the comparison, and con-
,eSses to have been so impolite as to
iaugh after it was recited. The effect
upon the mighty Roscoe can well be

MAKING PATENT LEATHER.
1t Can Not BE Guaranteed, Although this
Process is Difficult

Japanned leather, generally called
patent leather was first made in
America. A smooth, glazed surface is
first given to calf-skin in France. The
leather is curried expressly for this
purpose, and particular care is taken
to keep it as free as possible from
grease; the skins are them tackled on
frames and coated with composition
of linseed oil and umber-in the pro-
portion of eighteen gallons of oil to
five of umber-boiled until nearly
solid. and then mixed with spirits OF
turpentine to its proper consistency.
Lampblack is also added when the
composition is applied in order to give
color and body. From three to four
coats of this are necessary to form a
substance to receive the varnish. They
are laid on with knife or scraper. To
render the goods soft and plant each
coat must be very light and thoroughly
dried after each application.
thin coat is afterward applied OF
the same composition, of proper con-
sistency, to be put on with brush, and
with sufficient lampblack boiled in it
to make a perfect black. When thor
oughlv dry it is cut down with scrap
err having turned edges. 1t is then
ready to varnish. The principal var
nish used is made of linseed oil and
Russian blue, boiled to the thickness
of printers ink. 1t is reduced with
spirits of turpentine to suitable con-
sistencv to work with a brush, and
then applied in two or three separate
coats, which are scraped and pumiced
until the leather is perfectly filled and
smooth.
The finishing coat is put on with
special care in a room kept closed and
with the floor wet to prevent dust.
The frames are then run into an oven
heated to about one hundred and sew
enty-five degrees. In preparing this
kind of leather the manufactures must
give the skin IS high a heat as 1t can
bear in orde- to dry the composition
on the surface as rapidly as possible
without absorption, and cautiously,
so as not to injure the fiber of the
leather. 1t is well nigh impossible to
guarantee the permanency OF patent
leather. no matter how expensive or
how careful be the preparation, for IL
has sad trick of cracking without any
Unsuitable provocation.-N. Y. Adver-
tiser.

and then the loud thump Of the rail-
road brake was in dream mistaken for
booming battery, and the voices at
the different stations made me think
heard the loud cheer of the British at
the taking of the Cashmere gate, and as
we rolled over bridges the battle be-
fore Delhi seemed going on, and as we
went through dark tunnels | seemed
to see the tomb of Humayun in
which the king of Delhi
was hidden. and in my dreams I
saw Lieut.. Kenny of the artillery
throwing shells which were hand
ed to him, their fuses burning, and
Campbell and Reid and Hope Grant
covered with blood. and Nicholson
falling while rallying ON the wall his
wavering troops, and I saw dead regi-
ment fall across dead regiment, and
heard the rataplan of the hoofs of
Hodgson's horse, and the dash of the
Bengal artillery, and the storming by
the immortal fourth column, and the
rougher the Indian railway became
and the darker the night grew the
more the scenes that had been study
| IuR dU Dtlll Cdllc Oh llc like al luCu-
bus. But the morning began to look
through the window of our jolting rail
car, and the sunlight poured in on my
pillow, and in my dreams 1 saw the
bright colors of the English flag hoisted
over Delhi, where the green banner of
the Moslem had waved, and the voices
of the wounded and dying seemed to be-
exchanged for the voices that well
coined soldiers home again.
And as the morning light got brights
er and brighter, and in my dream 1
mistook the bells at station for a
church bell hanging in minaret,
where Mohammedan priest had num-
bled his call to prayer, seemed to
hear chant, whether by human or an
gelic voices in my dream l could not
tell, but it was chant about peace
and good will to men" And as the
speed of the rail train slacliened the
motion of the car became so easy as we
rolled along the track that it seemed
to me that all the distress and contro-
versy and jolting and wars of the world
had ceased, and in my dream thought
we had come to the time when 1.-The
ransomed of the Lord shall return and
come to Zion with songs and everlast-
| ing Joy upon their heads and sorrow

The extent to which lawyers can ex-
ercise their imagination when pleading
in behalf of their clients is almost be-
You'd belief, but sometimes the tables
are turned in very unexpected fashion.
On one occasion Mr.. S. was en-
gagged in presenting the case of wom-
an who petitioned the court to grant
her judicial separation from her hus-
band, a workingman, and urged that rs
she was in extremo poverty she was en-
titled to alimony according to her hus-
band S means.
With a voice broken in its pathos the
lawyer dilated ON the imperative neces-
sity of the case, declaring that his client
was utterly destitute, not having mat
tress to lie upon, and not possessing the
means to purchase a crust of bread

Dutch was chained to her kennel, and
Curly, who enjoyed his liberty, evinced
his friendship by frequently taking

Curly presented himself at the house,
evincing unmistakable signs of grief by
his demeanor and his whines. A visit
to the kennel, where poor Dutch was
found lying dead, showed the occasion
