Aug 25-The American ship ErskIne NJ.
Phelps arrived here today from Norfolk in
the fastest time ever made for that trip by a
sailing vessel. She covered the distance in
81 days. The best previous record was
established about 30 years ago by d German
ship which came here from Liverpool
Boston, Aug. 25-The managing owners
in this city of sch Alice NJ Davenport,
which sank after being pulled off Seal Rocks
few days ago, are negotiating with d
One of the firm stated yesterday that the
schooner would undoubtedly be brought to
the surface, and he anticipated no great
trouble i'll having the work performed
Vineyard Haven, Aug 25-Sch James A.
Parsons, South Gardiner for New York, ar
rived here today in tow of tug Bismarck
She reports the vessel having sprung a leak
after being loaded at Gardiner, and it was
deemed necessary to have her towed to her
destination. This morning while off Cape
Cod, the leak increased SO badly that both
pumps were kept constantly working to
keep her free.
Boston, Aug 26-Mail adviceS from Homo
lulu, last night, contained news of the ar
rival there of the ship f Chapman, owned
by Brewer X Go u. Boston and Honolulu,
after very fast run OF no days from New
York. Capt Kendall, who is we'll known here,
had a cash inducement to make Time receiV-
ing 5000 The ship was only 81 days to
Cape Horn, and ~ days thence to Honolulu.
The Chapman. although built at Bath %
years ago, is still >taunch, and maintains
her old fame for speed,
Baltimore, Aug. 26. Loaded with loo
tons of ice, the coastWise schooner Dung
Brothers, Capt. Connors, which reached port
yesterday, developed a speed while coming
down the coast from the kennebec River
that aStoniShed the masters of several
large schooners passed on the way. Off
South Shoals the Young Brothers overlook
and passed the Baker Palmer The Palmer
is a larger vessel and was light. Many
other smaller vessels We're left far in the
wake of the ice laden schooner The
Young Brothers was built at Belfast in
1890 by Mcdonald Il Brown, and won a rep
utation for speed soon after she went into
commission. Ed. Journal.
Boston, Aug 26-After being anchored in
the harbOr for nearly IL weeks on account
of the present dulness in freights, the six
masted schooner Eleanor A Percy, Capt
Lincoln Jewett, has finally been chartered
to proceed to Sydney, CB. where she will
load about 1000 tons of Nova Scotia coal for
Portland. This does not represent the YES
sells capacity, by any means, as she is cap
able of carrying 500 tons, but 1000 tons
was all she could secure and her owners
were apparently glad enough of the oppor-
tunity to close the contract. The Percy
cleared at the Custom House yesterday for
Sydney and will sail today, weather per-
hitting.

fond Stones.

Most readers>have no doubt heard OF
the precious jewels which the toad car
rles in his brain box, and so called
toadstones. which were in reality the
teeth Of fossil fish, were formerly worn
in finger rings as a protection against
poison.
1t was thought that the best stones
were those voluntarily elected by the
living toads but, as the latter were not
addicted to freely giving up their treas
ures in that way, it was necessary to
procure the coveted articles by other
means. and the recognized method was
to decapitate the hapless batrachian
at the instant he swallows his breath.
The feat naturally demanded consider
able celebrity, such as could only be nc
quired by constant practice, and 1t is
not reasonable, therefore, to assume
that, although the endeavors to gain
possession of the jewels were perhaps
numerous, they must have invariably
been unsatisfactory, especially to the
toads.

1t is told Of the late =. d. Armour
that on one occasion he made present
of a suit of clothes TO each Of his EN-
ployees in a certain department Each
man was told that he might order his
own suit and send the bill to MIR. Ar
mour, no restrictions being made rs to
price. In order to avail himself fully
of this liberalty one young man or
dered evening clothes costing $50.
When thebill was sent in, Mr. Armour
sent for the clerk to vouch for its ac-
curacy and, finding it right, assured
the man it would be paid. AS the clerk
was leaving, however, Mr.. Armour said
to him:
Il wish to say to you that | have
packed a great many hogs in my time,
but never dressed one beforew-New

Aristocrntic Ants.

The slaveholdlng ants are Of several
kinds and differ greatly in the manner
in which they treat their vassals. Some
make them do all the work under the
direction of overseers; others share
their labors, while still others have
fallen into such habits of luxury as to
be unable or unwilling to wait upon or
even to feed themselves and are car
ried about and provided with food by
their body servants. In many cases
this sybaritism is the mere ostentatlOus
love of being served. The incapacity is
not physical, but moral, and arises
from an aristocratic aversion 10 any
kind Of mental labor.

Word BlindEe as.

Some curious instances Of the physic
nj defects Of "word blindness are Civ
en- i'm the Lancet. The disease is for
tunately uncommon. In one case the
sufferer. an Englisman, thirtyiou
years of age. who knew Greek, Latin
and French well, suddenly lost al
knowledge Of English. though lie could
read and understand Greek perfectly
and Latin and French in a rather
smaller degree. Another and almost
more curious case was that of man
who lost the power of reading at sight.
This patient was able to write accu,
rately from dictatlon, but was com
pletely unable to read what he had
written. Word blindness is apparently
akin to color blindness, but Is certainly
attended by much more inconyenient
consequences.

TO keep it warm for another bride. y
favorite wedding day in Scotland is
Dec. 81, so that the young couple can
leave their old life with the old year
and begin their married life with the
new one, surely pretty idea. The
Italians permit no wedding gifts that
are sharp or pointed from which prac
tice emanates our superstition that the
gift Of a knife sewers friendship. One
of the most beautiful of all marriage
customs is that of the bride immedi'

She who catches it is supposed to DC
