"Wtiatdoyouthinkof McCaffrey?” he inquired. ihe British champion sneered. “What do [ think of him?" said he. “(don't calt him a tighter at all. He isn't one-tenth die man tqat Sullivan is. In two rounds mote I would have had him completely st mv merer. The referee uecided against me, though, and what could I do after dia’?” “Do vou think etill that you can whip McCaffrey?" Mitchell looked Intense and speechless disgust at this question. Billy Madden chipped in and took up the word for 1dm: "Does he think what?" said he. "I think it, and I'll match Charley to fight him right rounds at one day's notice for 31,000 a side and the gate receipts. More, I'tl match Charley to tight him with bare knuckle*, and have oniy four men on a side to witness it." “How do you make it out that the referee was wrong?" Whv the raa'ch was clearly a draw, I it should have been so decided " Madden was intensely di-guslcd, and went on at length with much more ts k ' tbe same sort, in which he was backed . by the bystanders all of whom were firm admirers of Mitchell.

HOT OAVa OF THE PAST. A New Orleans 'nvantor Thinks Ha Has tha tona-tooked-for Ship.' Timez-Dcmocrat. The world of to day is moving and ad vancing in all directions of thonght, In genuity and invention. From the discov ery of the mysterious power* of steam to tbe wonderful possibilities of the subtle electric fluid u used by recent inventors, the science of mechanics has sped onward with amazing results. The mind and thoughts of genius are ever at work for still further accomplishments, and seem to be constantly occupied in devising some means by which to navigate tbe air and ucend into the unknown regions that lie (ar oil In tbe fields nf space. Who knows but what tbe secret of tbe stars that make tbe nights so beautiful mav yet be de veloped and the war systems of the world revolutionized. Once overcome the difliculiy of going up and the coming down Is simply a question of detire. Air-sailing vessels as navigable in thc ether as the present style are In the water, loaded with exploeive and combustible materials that can be burled upon the enemy, will cause widespread terror and destruction. Then rig these formidable war machines with long, sharp-pointed steel rams, so they can come down with tbe rapidity of an eagle upon the men-of-war of the opposing forces, driving tbelr Instruments of demo lition through their decks or into thclr sides, then quickly pulling out and taking flight like some wlla mountain bird, leav ing thc object attacked to sink with all on board, Tbe possibilities are terrible to contemplate. Latterly two French scientists, Messrs. Renard end Krebs, have constructed ■ machine to be directed by currents of air. Now comes ayounggentlemqnof this city, Mr. G. O, Gonzalta, 124 Ursolines street, with theories, ideseand plans of an aerial ship. Tbe body of tbe btiloon ts 60x20 feet, and will have a capacity of 11800 cu bic feet ol gas. It is pisiform in shape, having running through it a pipe frame •nd containing a sufficient quantity ol gas to counterbalance the weight ol the ma chine. The basket will be skiffshaped and con nected with tbe balloon by four fixed bzrs for the purpose of holding the whole sol idly together. The motive power is to be e five-horsepower engine making 300 revo- I tions a minute and weighing only 200 pounds. Fifty pounds of fuel and eigbty- four pounds of water, Mr. Gonzzles says, will run an ordinary-sized machine for three hours. There ate two propellers, one in front and one behind, placed on either eutl of ■ eb ift running midway bet: tbe balloon and tho boat The back propeller drives the machine ahead, assisted by tbe pulling a-’lion of tbe one in front, thus obtaining a speei of twenty five miles an hoar. When once the gas pipe is filled it requires no renewal or replenishment, only m case of an acciden tal escape. If this happens while the vessel is on high tbe engineer merely at taches a steam pipe to the gas pipe, thus heating the gas contained the ‘ indenting Its aeriform qualities. Directly underneath the basket is another propeller, the workings of which raise the vessel iu e straight line to any desired height or bring It down In the emme man ner. The lateral motion It given by e per pendicular rudder at the back, tbe alant- log. downward motion by a horizontal rodder in front The entire weight of the machine Is only 1.069 pounds. Tbe Renerd-Krebs vessel has but one ropeller, which Is attached in front ot the lalfoon Itself, thne causing the working apparatus, baskets and contents to hani btiow as so much dead weight When no in me tbe Gonsalas machine rests on four light aupporta, which preventi it from coming In contact with tba ground. Mr. Gonsvea has, as yet, constructed no mod- ala, nor baa ha attempted to make any ex periments wi'h hit proposed invention, but it positive that a ship constructed ac- cording to hit plana will prove an astound ing success.

San Francisco Post During the campaign ol tbe Pint Regi ment et Santa Rose the pickets found con siderable diffi 'ulty In preventing tbe men absenting themselves without leave, a cir cumstance for which the mint jutepe of the town bar-rooms and the large contin gent of pretty Santa Rosa girls—small blama to them -ware chiefly accountable. One particularly enltry evening, while the untinels were pacing tbeir beets with tbeir tongues fairly hanging out of their months with best end wondering whether tbe piratee in tbe meet tent would drink every hit of beer before tha “relief” came, one of the guards observed a private ap proaching wbo wu staggering along un der tbe combined load ot much conviviali ty end an enormous T 'Jtermelon under bis arm.

"Yea, lir." "Did he glra the countersign ?" inquired the lieutenant, taking a bite hlmiell u the man orcsenteu arms.

They have taken to cricket and play with great energy. The rival clubs challenge each other and tbe games are desperately contested. Each game is opened and closed with prayer, and tbeir challenges are imbued with a religions spirit always ending "with great love, amen.” The two-tailed rat has again made ite appearance in tbe dime museums. The animal Is not a freak of natnra, bat the victim of antiseptia surgery. The tail of • healthy rat ia cut off and inserted in a V-shzpea cut in the note of a second. Antiseptic dressings are applied, and the (oar limbs tied to a little frame to prevent scratching the new appendage.

Until within quite a recent period the Chinees soldiers had no uniform. They were distinguished from civilians by a little hedge which they carried on the breut, on which wu written the word Ping (warrior).
