Captain JohnMeiks who, in 1867,
crossed the Atlantic on a life-hit, is
preparing for another voyage to En
robe on a smaller raft of asimilar con
struction. The raft is composed of
inflated Indiarubber tabes which,
'when hot filled with air, fold up in a
comparatively small compass, but
when inflated will cany all the persons
that can crowd on it. The raft on
which Captain Meiks performed liis
last voyage was twenty-five feet long
by eighteen wide. He then had two
men with him. A canvass tent was
erected on the raft,' and three crossed
'the, Atlantic,' arriving safely in Eng
land in forty days. Captain Meiks is
'having another life^raft -made fifteen
feet long and twelve feet wide on which
he intends going to Europe, accom
panied only by a hoy. He will be
ready to start abont the middle of
August, and will take with him sixty

with the statement that if the Empe

Of course the Emperor also immediate

throne, had' declared the Tribune’s

peace of nations. : -
Unhappily this was not the full
measure of our disasters. The Presi
dent had sent to the Emperor of Aus
tria a copy of his book “What I know,”
eta, with-his autograph upon a fly
leaf. The Emperor mistook the sig
nature for a caricature of the Austrian

against the United States; -while France
was provoked to the Same aetby the
fact than when the Eren'ch Minister
came to call upon Mr. Greeley to pre

was writing an editorial at the time,
not comprehending the French lan
guage, mistook the ambassador for a
beggar, and without looking up hand

PRESIDENT GREED EV AND CABINET
HANGED.
So all these nations joined in mak- -
ibg war upon the United States. They
swooped down upon our coasts and
landed without opposition, for. those
exposed portions of our unhappy
country were absolutely deserted. The
President was afraid to call away the
army from Kansas at first, for fear the
outraged people upon the plains would
come East in spite of him. But at
last he did summon the army to his
aid, and-it moved to meet the enemy.
It was too late. Before the troops
reached Cincinnati the foreigners had
seized Washington and all the country
east of the Ohio, and had hung the
President, the Cabinet; "and every
member of Congress. The army dis

That Woman’s Jury.
An outraged husband at Cheyenne,
Wyoming Territory, where female suf
frage and tiie politicaland social ap
purtenances thereto appertaining are
recognized, denounces the. female jury
business through the Cheyenne Head
er, and in justification offers a perti
nent scrap from his domestic history.
His wife was summoned and impan-
neled as a juror in an important cose.
When night came, the case not Bring
concluded, the husband applied to the
court to have his wife sent home, as
there were several-small children there
requiring her attention—the smallest;
in fact, being in a starving condition,
owing to the fact that it had not been
habituated to the use of the bottle.—
Rut the husband’s request was denied.
The judge said the jury could not be
separated. Thehusband then request
ed permission to send- the infant to
the mother. This, was also refused,
on the ground that the law does not
permit, a thirteenth person in .a jury
room, and. there is no statute tor show
that an infant in arms is not a person”
within the. intent and meaning of the
law. The desperate husband then at
tempted to induce the court to send
all the jurors to his house, for- the
night; hut the effort waan failure^ and-
the husband was informed that quar
ters had been provided his wife at the
hotel, and that if he wished to speak
to her for a moment he would have to
take the place of the cook. The. hus
band went home. How he got through
the night is not told, but when he

The story is a short one. In the fall
of 1872 Horace Greeley, the editor of
a newspaper in New York, was elected
President of the United States. The
people voted for him because they
thought he was an honest man. And
so he was. But he was also vain and
weak, he entertained certain fanatical
and preposterous notions—about agri
cultural matters, for instance—which
it was determined to force upon the
people at all hazards and despite all
opposition. He believed, among other
things, that every man ought to go to
the West to earn-his bread, and long
before he was chosen Presidenthe used
to advise eveiybody to move -to that
region, as a cure for all disasters that
