London-There is now being built
at Wallsend on the lyme, boat of TO-
900 horse power, designed to run at
the amazing rate of forty-three miles
an hour and to cross the Atlantic in
forty hours. This is no visionary
scheme, but well considered COM
mercial venture with the solidest kind
OF financial backing. Plans have al
ready been drawn up for the formation
of giant transportation company,
which if the new boat proves success,
will at once order fleet of the same
kind. simultaneously there will be
begun the construction of submarine
tunnel between Ireland and England,
SO that trains may run through from
London to Galway lay, which is in
tended to be the point of departure of
this surprising line. On the American
coast the summer harbor is intended
to be Halls bay in Newfoundland.
Between this place and the west coast
ia lIGlduu bHe running QiStduce ACROSS
the ocean in only 1850 miles, or about
half that between liverpool and New
York, At Halls bay trains of Pull
man cars will be in waiting for the
new swift steamers. The new railroad
construction which will be necessary
to connect this place with the railroad
system already in existence will be
comparatively slight. Then fast
line of steamers will be in readiness on
the westean coast of Newfoundland to
carry the traveller to the American
continent in six hours BY means of
this astonishing system New York will
be brought within a little over three
days of London. When the new trans
atlantic line is put into operation, as
is now thought to be likely, you can
eat your breakfast in New York on
Wednesday morning and take dinner
in London the following Saturday
evening.

great campaign against Jubal Early.
About the first of the month Colonel
Alger applied for ten days leave OF
absence The application was disap-
proved and returned by his division
commander, General Wesley Merritt,
because of the active operations then
in progress. Upon the return OF his
application disapproved, Colonel Alger
left his regiment and went to Wash
ingto without leave. There he pro-
cured a detail Oh court marshal duty
it that city. This fact was reported to
General Merritt, who reported it in
turn to General Sheridan, who brought
the matter to the attention of the war
department, recommending that Col
onel Alger be dishonoraLly discharged
for being absent without leave. In
consequence of that recommendation
from Philip Sheridan, Colonel Russell
A. Alger was discharged from service
on September 90, 1864. The incident
terminated his military career. After
the war was over he procured in some
way the brevet of brigadier general
and major general of volunteers.

result of the war is the healing of all

A question is presented to the
citizens of Grayling, which should be
o. interest to every one, and that is
whether this town shall be made
and maintained among the leading
localities of the state. or whether we
shall be satisfied to hold subordi-
nate place, and simply exist, and
finally die in the woods. The prob.
able fact, that this section is under.
laid with petroleum can only be
proven by going down into the earth
to find out, and that can not be done
without an expenditure of consider
able money, which, II used, must be
furnished by our own people. The
State Geologist few years ago as
sured the writer that there was no
possible doubt of the existence of
petroleum all through the valley of
the Au Sable, the question to be de-
cided being whether it was in veins
or pockets, and the decision must
come from q hole In the ground.
The AVALANCHE would suggest that,
as soon as the weather will permit,
we obtain the opinion of party with
knowledge and experience, and II
that opinion is favorable. organize
and learn certainly whether we have
in our grasp the wealth and advan
tage that such development brings,
or not. The preliminary expense
would be small, and IL all work
together, the flnal expense for drill
ing would not be a great burden,
Agitate the matter, and decide what
Is best for the place.
