TOENGLAND IN FOUR DAYS.
The Fast Howard Cassard is to Be
Rebuilt.

(From the Philadelphia Times.)
The Arrow Steamship Company,
which became famous six years ago
from the startling nature Of the plans
they had before the public, involving
the construction Of a steamship to cross
the ocean in less than four days, may
again come into prominence in a very
short time, with their headquarters es-
tablished in Philadelphia.
The Howard Cassard, the unique YES
sci constructed in d Baltimore ship
yard and whose failure to properly
perform it's work caused heavy imam
cial loss to many prominent Balti-
moreans, will be towed to this port
from Washington, supplied with new
machinery at Cramps ship yard and
placed in thorough repair for speed
trial to Liverpool, on which it is still
confidently believed that she can make
the hitherto unprecedented time of so
miles an hour
w. G. Miller, under whose supervi-
sion the Howard Cassard was built,
gives an interesting account of the YES
sci and of what is to be attempted in
her reconstruction.
AT present" he said 1.-THE Howard
Cassard is in Washington, where, on
the failure of the company, she was
sold toa private individual for $780, She
cost $215,0G0. The Cassard, by the way,
was only considered as a model, al
though she was 225 feet long. The idea
was that she should demonstrate the
practicability of the scheme and, if sue
cessful, the full size steamer, 542 feet
long, was to have been constructed.
The Howard Cassard is very mar
row, but Is feet wide at her greatest
beam. She is like a knife, unsuitable
and thoroughly fireproof. Her wonder
full speed lies more in the peculiar lines
OF her huh than in the machinery
Naval and scientific experts have
agreed that never before In hull con-
structlon has so little resistance been
oHered to the waves, and I fully be-
lieve she would have made the time
claimed by the inventor had it not been
for the machinery. Unfortunately, the
latter was on a principle somewhat re-
sembling that of a Corliss engine used
In railroad power houses. In starting
on her trial trip the boat made 80 miles
an hour but on the signal being given
for full speed, the slow working Cor
llss would not stand the additional
rapidly of motion and broke down ut
terly."
The rapfdity of this craft" added
MIR. Miller, will revolutionize ocean
travel The company, however, will not
claim a speed of mile a minute un-
der the new arrangement. They are
satisfied that 40 or IS miles an hour can
be made. The new line will only carry
passengers and the mails. The extreme
narrowness of the hull prevents anv
freight other than ballast being loaded

Fair are the flowers and the children, but

Rare is the rose-burst of dawn, but the
secret that clasps it is rarer;
sweet the eXultance of song, but the
strain that precedes it is sweeter:

meaning administered the meter.
Never a daisy that grows but mystery

never river that flows but a majesty
sceptres the flowing;
never Shakspere that scared but a

Nor ever prophet foretells but might
Ter seer has foretold him.

Into the statue that breathes the soul of

Under the joy that is felt lie the infinite
issues of feeling;
Growing the glory revealed is the glory
that crowns the revealing.

vast the create and beheld, but yaster the
Inward creator;
Back of the sound broods the silence;

Back of the hand that receives thrill the

SETTLE THE QUESTION RIGHT.

However the battle is ended.
Though proudly the victor comes
with haunting flags and neighing nags
And echoing roll of drums
Still truth proclaims this motto
In letters of living light
NO question is ever settled
Until it is settled right
Tho the heel of the strong oppressa%
May grind the weak in the dust
Ana the voices of fame with one acclaim
May call him great and just
Let those who applaud take warning
And keep this motto in sight:
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
Let those who have failed take courage
Though the enemy seem to have won.
II he be in the wrong, though his ranks are
strong,
The battle is not yet done.
For sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of the night
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right
o, men bowed down with labor,
o, women young yet old,
o, heart oppressed in the toiler's breast
And crushed by the power of gold;
Keep on with your weary battle
Against triumphant might
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right
