Tho Signal Service bureau’s big wind was delayed, but it was not the more welcome on that account. Tho country never produced a grenter demagogue than Gov. Foraker, of Ohio. What is more, it is not likely that it over will. If thero were no South there wouM be preeious little of Senator Sherman. He thrives oylv when he is hurling übuso at tho people of this section. A London letter says that Mr. Blaine’s favorite among Buffalo Bill’s Indians is Rod Shirt. The warrior’s name is doubtless what draws tho Maine statesman toward him. Brooklyn, N. Y., has about 1,000 electric lights on her streets. There are still plenty of (lark spots in tlio city, however, if tlio number of crimes committed count for any thing. At Rogers City, Mich., a few days ago a hen laid an egg with a tail. Perhaps it was the beginning of an evolution which will eventually cause hens to lay fidl fledged chickens. Why not invite President Cleveland to visit Savanuah ! It is not likely that he would refuso an invitation from the solid business men of the foremost city in the State. _____ Mr. H. B. Hollins, it is stated, has gone to Europe to try to sell some bonds. It seems, therefore, that the statement mado some time ago that he was going for pleasure was not wholly true. It seems impossible now-a-days to keep any enterprise going without frequent gath erings of those engaged in it. It is proposed to hold un International Cremation Congress at Berlin in 1889. The London correspondent of the Cliicngo A> uis says that Mr. lllaino will return to the United States in two weeks. He is afraid that his Presidential boom will col lapse while he is away. James Preston, 92 years old, is still working in a mine in Schuylkill county, l’n. He has his third wife, and is the father of three dozen children. Pennsylvania ought to ]tension the old fellow, or put him on ex hibition in someone of the public museums. At Omaha, Neb., the other day some butter was discovered in a well, where it had been fourteen years. The boarding houso keepers of the town while trying to get jios sossion of it almost had a riot. They want ed it not for its beauty but for its strength. It is announced that tlio Union Pacific Railroad Company will do no more building till it lias made a settlement with the gov ernment. If the Union Pacific makes a just settlement with the Government it is likely that it will do no more building for some years after. Representative Glenn’s bill relative to preventing the co-education of the races in the Atlanta University attracts considera ble attention in the North. Perhaps it may teach u lesson to the over-zealous individu als in thul latitude who use their money in efforts to bring übout social equality in the South through the schools. Tho directors of the Eads Concession Company will hold a meeting at some jioiut in New Jersey to-duy and form n ship rail way company and diet a successor to ('apt. Eads. It is estimated that work will soon be commenced on the long delayed scheme. Tho country wilj watch the operations of tho company with great Interest. D. It. Anthony, alitor of tho Lcuven wortli Timex, was publicly cowhided on the streets of Leavenworth, Kan,, Wednesday, by Councilman Bond, for the publication of alleged scurrilous articles. Anthony is a brother of Susan B. Anthony, tho woman's rights advocate. If he were as much of a as his sinl or wants to bo bo would have B)tnol tho tables—or tho cowhide—on Bj.ji. Let the Road be Sold. There are indications that the sentiment in favor of selling the Western and Atlantic railroad is growing stronger. When Sena tor Dean’s bill, providing for tho sale of the road, was introduced quite a number of Senators expressed their approval of its purpose, and a very large and influential portion of the press of the State thinks tho property ought to bo disposed of if u fair price can be obtained for it. It is sufo to say that the more the question of the bale of the road is discussed the stronger will be the sentiment in favor of selling it. If the minimum price mentioned in tho Dean bill can be obtained for it the State will be in a bettor financial condition than it is now, liecauso it will Iks able to pay about all of its debts, and the amount of in terest that will be thus saved is greater than the present revenue from the road. It is not certain, of course, that tho price mentioned in tho Dean bill can bo obtained, but Dio opinion prevails that it can. Indeed, there are thoso who think the-property is worth a great deal more than that. The lessees’ claim for betterments will doubtless be urged persistently and skill fully, but it will be rather remarkable if it is allowed. What has thus far appeared in the public prints übout it seems to indieato that it has no foundation. Even the lessees do not appear to havo had a thought of anything of the kind until recently. The letter of Presi dent Brown to tho people of Dalton reflect ing tho building of a depot at that place leaves tho impression that at that time ho expected that at the expiration of tho lease, the road, with all of its rolling stock, would pass into the possession of the State free from any claim. As long as tho State owns tho road thero are certain to bo annoying questions con nected with it. This question of better ments is ono of them. The amount of money it involves no one outside of tho lessees yet knows. Another question is that the State is bound to protect tho road from competi tion to preserve its vulue. That involves the refusal to charter railroads which would aid the development of portions of tho State. Tho property is iu good order, and is profitable. It can perhaps be sold for a better price now than can bo obtained for it a few years hence. No one can say that it will bo kept in its present excellent condi tion, or that competing roads will not lessen its vulue. Asa rule the property of a State or a municipality which yields a revenue is eventually grabbl'd by official thievos who succeed in getting into places of honor. The Wclstorn and Atlantic road, it is true, has not been wrecked, and tho States has a good revenue from it, but who can say that such will continue to be tho case if it remains the property of tho State' ? Tho wisest thing to do with it is to sell it and pay tho State’s debt with the proceeds of tho sale. Amend the Brantley Bill. It will bo rather strange if Senator Brant ley insists upon urging tho passage of his naval stores bill in its present shape after the exhaustive explanation of its defects which was published in the Morning News yesterday. Tho impression has been all ulong that tho producers complained mainly of the practice of horning, and that they sought legislation to havo that practice pro hibited. The surprise, therefore, was great when it was found that the bill that was in troduced into the Legislature at their insti gation aimed to legalize that practice. According to the interview in the Morn ing News the belief in naval stores circles hero is that Senator Brantley is sincere in trying to benefit the producers, but that ho is not well informed respecting tho naval stores business, and has, therefore, mado a very gravo mistake. That being tho ease, it is only necessary to convince him of bis mistake in order to havo tho bill put into proper shape. It certainly is tho desire of the producers, the factors, and very nearly all the buyers to have the practice of horning stopped. Why not then legislate in that direction i The testimony is that only a few buyers practice horning, and yet Senator Brantley’s bill is calculated to encourage other buyers to adopt the practice by making it legal, and, therefore, honest. Tho bill should really be entitled a bill to legalizo and ex tend the practice of horning. The Morning News wants to assist tho naval stores trade in every way that, it, can, because tho trado has become a very im portant part of the commerce of this city, and, also, because it would like to see tlio trade prosperous, but. it must bo admitted that Senator Brantley’s bill is a sorry out come of tho agitat ion against alleged abuses iu the naval stores trade that was conducted by some of the producers for months lieforo tho meeting of the Legislature. Let Sena tor Brantley amend his bill so as to prohibit tho practice of horning, and then if his. bill passes it, will lie of some benollt to the pro ducers as well as to tho trade generally. Gen. Beatty, a stalwart Republican, has been interviewed at Toledo, O. He said that Mr. Blaine was by no means as strong ns he was in 1880. Ho regarded Mr. lllaiue as a political Jesuit, courteous in manner, cordial and plausible in speech, but silent, crafty mid unscrupulous in the promotion of his schemes; professing open friendship while stabbing soeretly, keen in bis scent of money, not particular as to the modes of its acquisition and lavish in its expenditure in his own political advancement, brainy and fertile in resourc-os, with an element of meanness so audacious that it docs not al ways provide against exposure. "He was Garfield's evil genius,” continued the Gen eral. "his detractor while living, most elo quent eulogist when dead.” But, yet Mr. Blaine is the man whom tho Republicans will probably ask the country to elect Presi dent in 1888. The man, however, is a fair exponent of hi* party. The statistics fiend has discovered that “a curious thing is tliut more negroes die from burns than from any other form of accident. Few of them commit suicide and few become insane. One white man in every 43-1 geos crazy, and one negro in every 1,0:17.” ( are lessnoßs is what causes so many negroes to die from burns. Absence of mental troubles is what causes tho low rate of insanity, but it is noticeable tlmt insanity is on tho in erenso among them. Now that Senator Sherman lias his little indorsement, what will ho do with it ? He surely doesn’t think that tho Republicans will nominate him for President on the strength of it. Tho Republicans have had a surfeit of Ohio men. They will doubtless put up somebody for the Democrats tu dc foat who docs not smack so much of tho chestnut. Sometimes a sop thrown to tho farmers doos them more harm than good. The Brady guano bill is an illustration. If it In comes n law it will injure tho farmers quite us much us it will hint: tho dealers. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1887. The Sentiment Not All Ono Way. Indication!! are cropping out that men like Tuttle and Fairchild do not represent the sentiments of all the Grand Army men witlj reference to tho President. There is a scheme on foot to havo the President as a guest of the Meade Post of the Grand Army during tho constitutional centennial cele bration in Philadelphia in September next. This post, which is the largest and most in fluential one in Pennsylvania, does not sympathize with the spirit which compelled tho President to withdraw bis acceptance of the invitation to visit Ht. Louis during tho Grand Army Encampment there, and if the President accepts tho invitation to be its guest for one day, there is no doubt that he will bo well satisfied with his reception. The Meade Post has consulted with other posts in the Stute as to the advisability of the proposed scheme, und has found them wit4i few exceptions, in favor of it. No doubt if the President accepts no effort will bs spared to make him forget the unpleasant tit. Louis trouble. Geos. Fairchild and Tuttle may do a good deal of talking of an aggravating kind, but they do not havo the influence which they protend to havo. If the Presi dent should become the guest of tho Meade Post ho would gain a victory over his political enemies. It is worth noticing that snmo of tho Republican papers uio beginning to think that men of the Tuttle and Fairchild stamp are nuisances. Tho Hartford Oourant , a Republican paper partly owned by United States Senator Hawley, has this to say about Gen. Tuttle: “if Gen. Tuttle, of lowa, has any lucid intervals, he ought to realize that his interference with tho St. Louis programme in relation to tho visit of tho President was a very foolish piece of business.” With reference to Gen. Fair child’s ‘ palsy" speech it says that it wag not spoken for tho public, but oijy for those who hoard it, and that, therefore, it ought never to have gotten into print. Gen. Hawley was a gallant soldier and is now a model statesman. His paper, the Courant , at first took sides against Mr. Cleveland in the battle (lag incident, but subsequently, when it saw that the Presi dent was influenced in his equrso by the best of motives, and that ho was unjustly at tacked, it changed its tone and gave him what encouragement it could. The scheme to have tho President a guest of a Grand Army post during tho centennial is pretty good evidence that a chango of sentiment with respect, to the Executive of the nation is going on in tho Grand Army. A Constitutional Quostion Involved. Tho Herald contends that, a great consti tutional question is involved in tho appoint ment of a successor to the lato Justice Woods. In 1885, iu the Virginia bonds cases, the Supremo Court decided, by a majority of one, that a State is not only legally bound to pay its debts, but can he mado to pay them whether it wants to or not. The decision, as the Herald states it, “put every State in the Union in the power of the Federal Courts with respect to its financial obligations. It recognized in the national judiciary authority to enforce con tracts between a State and its creditors; to coerce a Stato into the fulfillment of its con tract and tho payment of its indebtedness. Obviously that was a marked inroad into the domain of State sovereignty—a signal curtailment of State sovereignty and en largement of Federal sovereignty. ” Tho five Justices who rendered the decision were Field, Harlan, Woods, Matthews and Blatcliford. The Justices who dissented were Waite, Miller, Bradley and Gray. The dissenting opinion was read by Justice Bradley who used the following language; “These suits are attempts to coerce n Stato by judicial proceedings. They are that and nothing else. It is useless to at tempt to deceive ourselves by an adroit use of words or by a train of metaphysical reasoning. We cannot in that way change the nature of things. "This is tho first time, wo believe, since the eleventh amendment was adopted in which a State lias been coerced by judicial proceedings in the suit of individuals in tho Federal courts. That this is such n case seems ono of the plainest propositions that can be stated.” The Judges are now evenly divided on the question that was decided in tho Vir ginia eases. The Herald says that it is cer tain to be brought forward by Virginia again in anew shape. Whether the decision is sustained or reversed will, in all proba bility, depend upon the Justice who is ap pointed to tho existing vacancy on the Supremo bench. If Secretary Lamar should be appointed, and it seems probable that lie will bo, it will doubtless lie reversed. Chicago, that city of Anarchists, bood -1 -rs and cranks, comes to the fore with this ridiculous incident: Miss Ole*in keeps a fasliionablo boarding liouso on Michigan avenue. Among her boarders \vs u Miss Henson who had a lover named August K. Gaus. He was arrested the other day on the charge of disorderly conduct. Upon trial before Justice Lyons, George Ross, who lives across tho street from the boarding house, said that ho saw the prisoner kiss Miss Henson, or bite her, he could not, toll which. The young ladies living at tho boarding house said they thought the priso ner “acted very disorderly.” "Do you con sider it disorderly conduct to be kissed by a young man before u windows" asked the Justice of tlio tallest young lady. “Of counts I ilo,” she replied, and tho other young ladies tittered and blushed. The Justice deliberated a moment and then said: “Well, I think there is more jealousy here than disorderly conduct. I’ll discharge tlio prisoner.” The New York Times give u recent chap ter in tlii> history of Charles Reed, Guitenu's lawyer, which indicates tliut in a different direction ho is ns much of a rascal as his client was. It seems that for some time Heed was a guest at Taylor's Hotel, in Jer sey City, N. J. .that is, his room was there, but he took Ills meals at Rich's Hotel, a tew doors above Taylor’s. Wednesday lie visited Rich's us usual. The head waiter in the hotel absented himself for a few min utes, and when he returned he found U"ed behind the counter attempting to take some money from the drawer. The waiter do tainod Rood, aud informed the proprietor of the matter. The proprietor did not prose cute Reed, but sent him from the hotel with instructions never to return. It seems that Reed was out of employment und this was doubtless the reason why he sought to till his purse ut another man’s exjs'nso. The penitentiary at Sing Sing, >’.

Tho President In the West. Prom the Sew York Times (Hep.) President Cleveland, In accepting the invita tion to visit Kansas City, express'd his pleasure that it had no "partisan or political feature." His visit to the West, which is to take place p early in Octolier, is iikelv to prove a notable event. His desire to see tF* country and visit the people without any surest ion of a iolitical purpose, will no lie reciprocated by a de sire to do honor to tho Chief Magistrate of tho nation without regard to party considerations. Hard on Koifer. From the Washington Post (Dent.) A resolution offering to the people of tho United States John Sherman as Ohio's choice for President was referred, without debate, to the Committee on Resolutions of the Ohio Re publican Convention last night, on motion of J Warren Keifer A living jackass kicking a dead lion isn’t quite the comment. Mr. Sher man is not exactly a lion and he fancies ho is a live candidate for President, while Keifer, though living in the flesh, is far below, in every thing that constitutes an honorable and manly nature, the level of a modest and respectable jackass. Thousand-Mile Tickets to Commercial Travelers. From the Philadelphia Record(Dem.) There is nothing in the very proper ruling of th* Interstate Commerce Commission that ought to interfere with the issue of thousand mile tickets to commercial travelers. If a few other people should desire like mileage tickets at the same rates and upon the same conditions in regard to stops the railroad companies would lose nothing by accommodating them. If it has l#en profitable to the railroads to carry com mercial travelers at certain rates on mileage tickets it would be no less profitable to carry other peoplo on the same terms. 110 Is a Professional Humbug. From the Philadelphia Times (Ind.) Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, takes fifteen pages of the Forum to tell why in his judgment the Republican party Should* be restored to power. Rolled down to three sentence:;, his reasons are lirst, that the country will he culled upon to pay for the Confederate cotton seized (luring the war; second, the emancipated slaves will lx? paid for if the iHiinocruts remain in power, and finally, the Confederate debt will have to lx* , paid unless the Republican party carry the next election. If Gov. Foraker was not a professional politician his readers would suspect him of being a professional humorist.

An Old Story But Worth Telling Just Once More. Fr<nn Things Seen. Dumas, the older, loved to laugh at the ex pense of English stiffness and reserve. One of his stories was this: One day Victor Hugo and I were invited to dine with the Duke of Decazes. Among the guests were Lord and Lady Palmer ston—of course this happened before the Feb ruary revolution. At midnight tea was handed amund. Victor Hugo and I were sitting side by side, chatting merrily. Lord and Lady Palmer ston had arrived very late, and there had conse quently been no opportunity to introduce us be fore dinner; after dinner it seems it was forgotten. English custom, consequently, did not allow us to lx? addressed t>y the illustrious couple. All at once a young De cozes comes up to us mul says: “My Dear Du mas, Lord Palmerston begs you will leave a chair free between you and Victor Hugo." 1 hastened to do as he wished. We moved away from each other, and placed a chair between us. Thereupon enters Ford Palmerston, holding the hand or his wife, leads her up to 11s. and invites her to sit down on the empty chair—all this wit bout saying a word. “My lady," he said to his wife, “what time have you?" She looked at her watch and answered: “Thirty-five past twelve." “Well, then," said the great minister, “remember well, that this day, at thirty-five minutes past twelve, you were sitting between Alexander Immas and Victor Hugo, an honor which you probably never will enjoy again in your lifetime. 1 * Then he offered his arm again to his wife, ami took her back to her seat with out saying a word to us—became wo had not been presented. Bogard and the Bear Surprised. Fi’om the Red Bluff Sentinel. J.P. Bogan 1. a pioneer wool-grower of this county, a short time since had occasion to visit one of bis sheep camps in the mountains, about thirty miles east of Tahama. When he arrived at the cainp, finding everythin# all right, he gave the herder a day off and remained at the eamp alone. The cabin was built of logs and a shed extending over one end. In the evening Bogard killed a fine shee p and hung it up under the shed. During the night he was awakened by what he supposed to be a dog eating his mutton. Quietly slipping out of bed in scanty raiment, he procured a piece of board about four feed long anti four inches wide. He tiptoed around the house with the intention of giving the dog a terrible surprise. Arriving at the spot he could, in the dim light, distinctly see some object pulling at the mut ton. He raised his board and brought it down with all his might upon the back of a large grizzly bear. The bear gave an unearthlv growl and sprang at Bogard. who had already dropped hi? stick and was making for flu* door at a 2:40 gait. As Bogard jumped into the door ids bear ship succeeded in taking hold of las nether gar ment. which, being of light material, gave way, and Bogard reached a place of safety. Bogard and his herder killed tu<* bear the next day. It weighed about POO pounds. King Humbert and the Cholera. From the P./ll Mall Gazette. Now that the cholera is said to be breaking out again iii Italy, it may be interesting to give the following story of the King of Italy, ‘’better than any that got into the pajK?rs," which is in cidentally told in the last part of Miss \lnlan der's “Christ's Folk in the Apenuine," edited by Mr. Ruskin: “I saw a lady a little while ago, married to a Piedmontese, who was at Busca, just where the cholera was worst, last summer <1881), when tiie King went there, and she gave mean interesting account of it all. She said every one was in a panic and afraid to go near the sick people, but the King took hold as if he had been a hospital nurse, going always where the danger was greatest, sitting by the beds of the sick, administering their medicines, rubbing them with spirit when the chill came, giving food, advice or money as they were wanted, sometimes sympathizing, sometimes laughing and jesting to keep up their hearts, until others enme forward to help, just for shame. And in the evening, when he went t > rest, tirecl out, and his servants came about to chuuge his clothes and ‘fumigate* him, he used to smile at their anxieties and then raise his eyes to heaven as if to say: ‘There is when* my safety conies from. 1 Of course all this did not suit every one. and there was some talk of passing a law to prevent sovereigns from risk ing their lives, but Umberto said if they did he should be tin first to break it, and as every one knew that he would keep his word then* was no more said about it."

The Empress Reg. nt was a concubine of the Emperor Ilien- Fung, on whose death she was appointed to act as co-ivgent with the dowager Empress during the minority of her son, the late I'mjHuor Tung-Chi. When the latter died, a few months after his marriage, one of those curious in trigues which make the history of oriental courts took place. His young bride, who was encionte at Mu* time of the you* *• monarch’s death, died mysteriously before t of her child, and the old dowager Euipr' 1 and co-Ro genfc took her dejiariure for another world rather suddenly a few (Lays afterward, leaving the present Empress Regent in undisputed pos session of power.

The foundation stone of the Women's Jubilee Offering in England—the Prince Consort's equestrian statue —was lad with an historical n*.allot. The Queen used the same mallet which George 111. handled to lay th* first stone of the gateway bet we**n the York and Lancaster Tow ers ftt Windsor Castle in August, 1824 Since then it has been used bv the German Crown Princess for All Saints*,Windsor, in 18158, and by Prince Christian at the Albert Institute, Wind sor, in 1870. A St. Thomas (Can.) barrister received the following communication in reply to a letter asking a former resident of that city to liquidate a small account: “Stevens Point. Wis., July 11. 1887— Pear Sir : Having a fc*.v spear moments before i take my departure i thought i would tell you how foolish you were to waste time and paper riling to me about such trilling affarcs are you not aware that i am whaiv thestears and stripes rule the day such little thinge does not bother me and you are foolish to let it trouble you." • Judge Sloan, of Golconda, 111., was cutting weeds m ar his house the other evening and cut off the he.ud of a big rattlesnake. The same blow threw the snake into the air and it fell upon the Judge's neck, about which it coiled with a convulsive grasp, at the same time keening up its ominous rattle. A colored man pulled the body off the frightened Judge and assisted him to the house, where it was some time before lie could convince liimsclf that the blood which was smeared on his face from the snake was not the result of a wound. A doctor said to a patient on his first visit: “You area very sick man. If you have any business to do, anything to put in order, it will be well for you to do it at once." “Doctor, you don't think I am going to die?" “Yes; there is little hope for you." The man bed sens * enough not to be frightened to death, and said: “Well, I've had a great deal of trouble, in my life, and must of it never happened.'' IP* de feated the doctor's prediction. This incident a well known railway president often tells when his colleagues are prophesying gloomy things. A Conway (Mich.) rooster that is equally well provided with physical and moral courage not only had the backbone to climb into a sick hen's nest and finish her job of hatching out a batch of fifteen chicks, but lias since cared for them against allcomers, including a big and ravenous hawk. The bird came swooping down and had already seized one of the chicks when the rooster discovered him. With a savage sen am he sprang upon the hav.k, seized his neck with his bill, buried his spurs deep in hi - sides, belabored him with Tits wings until help came and the hawk was dispatched. John llollixosihsad, the London speculator in amusements, now on a visit to this country to find a model for anew theatre and a panorama of Niagara Falls, and to persuade Delmonico to open an American restaurant in connection with tin* show, is a veteran journalist. He criticised amusements in the Loudon Daily Xi irs, wrote a good deal for Dickens on lloust- - hold Words and All the Year Round, and became one of the staff of the Alhambra, then a mammoth variety show. A man of ideas, both in the papers and in the show business, he was made the manager of the Gaiety Theatre, which he conducted in a burlesque house, with occasional lapses into melodrama, stars and French plays. lie originated the notion of ad vertising his theatre only in tin* newspajiers, abolishing posters, and window-bills. lie also abolished fees for programmes and cloak-rooms. The “Virgin and the Book,*’ a reputed mas terpi iof Raphael's, which was seized by the special Treat ury agent s in t Chicago, Dec. 7, p - \ and libelled for duties, was released by Judge lllodgett and returned to its owner, llonoi'* Keiffer. Whether the picture is the work of Raphael or not, an interesting tale hangs to it. The picture was seized in the Calumet Club, where its owner had allowed if to lie displayed, and was negotiating its sale for £40.000. KeifTer says that in ISO*) he kept a small picture shop at No. 19 lino do Mnlcsherlies. Paris, when a priest brought him the picture and wanted him to soil it for him. Tie* priest was mysterious in his movements, and at lust became so urgent for money that he. parted with the picture to Keit fer for 8,0 Kl francs. Keilfer kept tin painting and when he came to America brought it with him. and as he became reduced in circum stances was forced to attempt its sale. lie has Italian documents, seals, and tokens asserting its genuineness, bul those critius wl ■ bn\6 cx- inal. The huge steamship Great Eastern, which might have been christened “Brunei's folly." is at last going to Ik* put to the work for which she was originally intended—namely, the, Aus tralian trade; but not before she has undergone an important metamorphosis. She is to have her paddles removed, and to trust to her screw prop)*ller alone. She is, moreen c , to have her engine power enormously increase !, so as to be able to do twenty knots an hour. Therein no reason why she should not lie aid* to do this. In spite of her enormous bulk, slt<* is i* vessel of beautiful lines, and to the day of his death was the pride of lu*l* designer, Mr. Scott Russell. Only a short time before his d**atb Mr. Russell expresse l his confidence in the future of tin* great ship which ha 1 been eoncviv**d bv Brunei ami executed by himself, notwithstanding that she had then for nearly twenty years b<*cn a colossal failure. Tin* Great Eastern will probn blv occupy a permanent place in the world's history as the biggest ship ever lmilt. but some of t in* larger Atlantic liners do not fall so very far short, of her in size*. The Volunteer made a business trip, the other day, fiom Marblehead to Boston and return to carry Gen. Paine to his office. It was the first experience of the new sloop with very light weather. A Boston dispatch to th • New York Sun says: Mr* left Marblehead in a tld *k fog at 8:8*4 o'clock, but soon jreaclo.l clear weather outside. The breeze was very light on laud. Then* was none at all at sea. But oven in what seemed a dead calm the grvii sloop kopt in motion and skimmed rs daintily a a water fowl. It was hard to believe that then* was not a pair of great webbo l b et out of Might In low ■ending her along over the water There was nothing with which to make comparisons, b it it is safe to say she will prove one of the best of light weather boats. Gen. Paine studied l*r behavior closely, and when h* reached Boston he declared that he was entirely satisfied with her light-weather qualities. The entire a settee of fri ti >ti m-I iced in her t**rfurmttiK!. under a wholi* sail breeze is, ot courm, of even gr-aiter advantage in light winds.
