tl THE Twe YACHTS. Hecords of the Coronet and Dauntless, and other Facts about Them, ‘The keel of the Coronet was laid in Pollion’s ship yard, at the foot of Bridge street, New York, on March 26th, 1885. Her design and model were the subject of much consideration on the part of herowner, and inher butht and fittings nothing has been spared. In the features of excellent ma- terial neat workmanship,and strength of fastening, no better hull was ever built in this country than ‘the Coronet, and plenty of time was taken to per- form the work, for it was not until the summer of 1886 that she Was put in commission, at a cost of $85,000, She made the run across from Sandy Hook to Cowes last year in 17 days. In making ‘this passage she proved herself a fast vessel, and 4m one run of 20 hours she logged 220 miles.” she beat, from the Needles to the Lizard, in tue E: lish Channel, against a strong west by north wind in 29 hours, and in her passage to the westward across the’ Atlantic, last season, which, made against heavy weather, consumed 2 days, she wed to be an able sea’ boat. She was lal up mediately on her arrival, and the yachting World has received no greater surprise than when, on last New Year's Day, her spirited owner issued his challenge to American keel schooners to sail lum an ocean race “from Sandy Hook to Queens- town Harbor.” The Dauntiess has a record. It ts true that the British schooner Cambria beat her in an oce: race from Queenstown to Sandy Hook in 1S7U 42m. 45s, but the respective log books sho that the Dauntless sailed forty-six mfles more than the Cambria did in making the passage. In Sep- tember of the same she won the Dougiass cup, beating the New York Yacht Club fleet in a Face, with no time allowance, twenty miles to windward and back from buoy No. 5%, of the Hook. On October 14, 1870, she sailed a’ mateh rainst the schooner Cau. Sappho and the Dauntless safled Tace, twenty-five miles"to windward and bac from the Sandy Hook lichtshtp, on October 25, 187 and the Sappho won by 12m. 453. In the regatta Of the Brooklyn Yacht Club that was sailed over | ‘the present New York Yacht Club course on June 17, 1871, the Dauntless beat the fleet. ‘There was ho time’allowance, and her competitors were such cracks a8 the ‘schooners Sappho, Fleetw Columbia, Wanderer, Tidal Wave, and ‘Tarotinta. the She was the second ‘in the run down from Sandy Hook to Cape May light- ship on July 1, with the Sappho ai ‘the Wanderer, the fatter yacht beating her 58m. andthe Sappho th. 14m. Inthe regatta of the astern Yacht Club off Swampscott, Mass., on Al 14, 1871, the Dauntless was second to the Columbta, which yacht won the race in competi- | ‘tion With craft like the schooners Sappho, Dread- naught, Wanderer, Magic, Halcyon, Kambler, Vesta, Eva, and the Idler. On October 24, 1871, ‘the Dauntless sailed a match race against the | British schooner Livonia, twenty miles to wind- | Ward and back from Sandy Hook lightship, and | Won by lim. 383, and three days afterwards she deat ti schooner Dreadnaught over the shme course 21 minutes. She was second to the Palmer Im the race for the Citizens’ cup of Newport, R. L, | on September 12th, 1872, and the Vesta, Magic, | and Madeline were astern of her, and in a fresh | ‘southwest breeze on the run over {rota Newport to ¥ineyard Haven on August 14th, 1875, she b the whole fleet, the schooners Foam, Alarm, Wan- derer, Idler, and Josephine being among her Competitors’ She won from the big, scuvoner | Mohawk in the race between October 26th, 1873, and she centerdoard schooner Resolute 1h. in a race from off Stapleton, Bank lightship—off the Capes ¢ 2 on October 27, 1875. In the spriny she Was hased by’ the late J. R. Waller, and sold by fitm to her preseut owner in the summer of 188, ‘since which time her principal service has been ¢ off shore. The Dauntless 1s commanded Dy Capf. Samuels, late of the Dreadnaught. His officers are: First mate, W. H. Mahoney, from Brooklyn; second mate, J. H. Wilibanks, of Phila- delphia; boatswain, Robt. Harrington, of Phila deipbia: carpenter, G. H. Riverwale,’ of Jersey City; stewards, H. ‘A. Myer and Chas. Brown, of New'York. There are sixteen men defore the mist, ‘There are two quartermasters—Reuben F. Willis, | Of Nova Scotia, and Earnest Vijon, of Borde: Franee, The guests of Capt. Colt on the voyag’ are Mr. Jno. H. Bird, secretary of the New York | ‘Yacht Club, and Mr. Ernest Staples, who was one | of the party on the Fleetwing on the occasiouf of ‘the ocean race with the Vesta and Henrietta in 1868. on Bismarck and the Catholics, ‘7HR LIBERALS THINE TOO MANY CONCESSIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. A cablegram from Berlin, March 26, says: Al- ‘though it is nearly certain that the unterhaus ‘will pass the ecclesiastical bill without altering ‘the main provisions as approved by the oberhaus, it 1s also certain that the debate will disclose ‘the extent of the concessions. Many conserva ves are equally dissatistied, although they refrain from open opposition. Herr Struckmann, a na- tonal gave expression to the feelings of his party toward the close of the debate in declar- ‘he had no confidence in the pacific dis- of the bishops, that the too many conces. already made to the Catholic Church would to effect a complete conciliation, and that Deginning to make concessions it would be necessary. for the sake ,, to concede Mite Iiberal press Germany. r.

Here there 4s almost consenus that, while the effect of “in- and-in breeding” is to intensify points, in the long ‘Fun it is opposed to vigor of constitution. It isto ‘be remembered that every breeder takes care to exclude any animals with any known morbid tendency, while, on the contrary, in the genus homo, as Dr. Clouston remarks, there seems to be “q special tendency for members of neurotic fam- ilies to intermarry.” The result of this will be ‘UWat in some portions of Cd ep the of- Ing of such marriages Will show the evil Fesults it to an unusual extent.

Statistical information is quate on the subject; the motion to include | 4 tm the census returns of ‘amidst the sco laughter of the house on the ind that the idie curiosity of speculative phi- ‘was not to be gratified.” In France the Teturns have given rise o Various estimates (vary- ing from nine-tenths totwoand a half or thre er cent) of the frequency of consanguineous war- Tages.

Darwin came to the conclusion that im London one and a half per cent of all mar- ‘were between frst cousins in urban districts ‘two per cent and in rural districtstwo and a quar- ter per cent If, now, We ascertain the ratio of idiots and in- sane patients that are the offspring of such m: Tages to the total number of patients in the as Jums We will have some means of estimating the results of consanguinity. From quite an extended Series of records il ts concluded t e Ta Teferred to in the idiot asylums is from five per cent, hence “first-cousin marriages, at ‘any rate, are to some extent favorable to the pro- @uction of idiot children.” But this conclusion must be tempered by the consideration that in a large number of such cases Of idiocy and imbecility other cates for this con- dition are t; and this consideration leads Dr. A. Mitchell vo the opinion that “under favora- die conditions of life the apparent fil effects of consanguineous marriages were frequently almost nil, while, if the children were ill fed, badly housed and clothed, the evil might becoine very marked.” From such facts and figures we may conclude that first-cousin marriages should, asa Tule, be discouraged; but that, if close scrutiny rey ‘veals no heritable weakness, neurotic or uther- ‘Wise, the banns need not invariably be forbidden. a ‘The hyacinth trade isan important branch of horticultural commerce.

HOW THE CUSTOMS OF DRESSING FOR THE GRAVE a ee ‘There have been within the last few years many marked changes fn the conduct and in the acces- sortes of funerals, These changes have been brought about by influences not clearly definable. 1 lady who died not long ago lay in her nar- asket robed ina pligrim suit of brown broad cloth, the cape covert her shoulders and shrunken form anda girdle holding the gathers about ne Waist. A small, close, little foi bonnge Was worn and the infusion of some chemical ga\ the face a most life-like appearance. A favorite funeral gown ts the modifi Greek dress, such as. Mary Anderson, Miss Eastlake and Ellen Terry have been seen in. These outfits are made with- ont trimming, possibly a girdle or braided cape being used as a finish. The fabric used is some fine flannel or worsted cloth of a yellowish white color. Not two years ago the wife of a rich young west~ sider was dressed in a fac simile costume of that irginius.” Her sickness worn by Viola Allen in had been very brief, and when “the final sum~ mons” came the body retained its lovely round contour. In the coflin the arms and neck were bare, the yellow hair was arranged in looge ri lets about the face, and a necklace of pearl encircled the throat, ‘The winding shect has been revived, and if the Tumors one gives ear to can be credited’ some very prominent people will “wrap the drapery of their couch about them” when they go hence. “The quo- tation ts hardly pertinent, for in place of the cold, white winding sheet of the “sailor boy” a plaid of white Dillard cloth, made after the style of Sir John Moore's sable robe, is considered the thing. So far the winding sheet has been used 1n Chicago at the bier of young men, and then the funeral ser- vices have been conducted with great privacy. Another innovation at funerals is the evening or vesper burial, Services are held at the residence late in the afternoon, the friends resire immedi- ately afterward and at nightfall the coffin ts placed. in the undertaker’s carriage and driven to the vault, followed by a single coupe. This p is becoming very general in west side circles, and. to any other arrangement when the remains are taken out of the city for burtal. —* ‘see — Wealthy Young Men. From the Chicago Herald. During the past week the sons of two wealthy men have figured before the public in an unenvi- able light, Both are from the west, young Kitt- son from Minnesota and young English from Indiana. Both became involved with women who may be classed as adventuresses. In the case of Kittson it appears that while ona spree in New York he was marriedto a woman who has since undertaken to enforce her rights as his wife. In the case of English it seems that a young woman with whom he had been intimate, and who de- clares that he promised to marry her, has-at last made up her mind to leave her cause in the hands of the courts. | Kittson has been forced to contest his alleged wife’s claimus in the New York courts, but has the satisfaction of knowing that, so far as the legal battle goes, he has won the’ victory. English Has his lawsuit to face, providing that no settlement can be arranged before the time fixed for trial. Probably it was to such rich men’s sons as these that Robert G. Ingersoll referred the other day when he asserted that when he con- templated the sons of the average rich man he lost all ambition for wealth. It goes without say~ ing that if Kitson and English had not been in possession of unlimited resources, if they had been compelled by forces of circumstances to toll for a living, and it poverty had made them strong and self-reliant and i¢ss disposed to look upon money Dig?would have exeaped te disgracetut cates iy would have escaped. the ul entangle ments which have now thrown a shadow over their lives. ‘There is weakness as well as strength in money. ‘The possession Of money exposes one to many Tisks which do not beset the man who 1s without At.

From the Boston Transcript. ‘There recently died at Potsdam, St. Lawrence county, N. Y., Richard Donovan, who was in some Tespects one of the most remarkable men in north- ern New York, Twenty years ago, when a boy, Donovan worked in a flour mill. One day he was caught in a belt and received injuries that neces- sitated taking off both armsat the shoulders. This misfortune did not discourage him, and, after recov- ering his health, he set about earning bis livelihood as best he could without the use of hands or arms. Part of the time he had lived alone, and from the necessity of helping himself he became wonderfully — in performing all kinds of work, using his feet and mouth principally. He owned a horse of which he took the entire care, harnessed It, fastened and unfastened the buckles with his teeth, and drove with the reins ted around his shoulders. Being in need of a wagon, be bought wheels and axles and built a box buggy complete and painted it, He went to the barn one winter day and built a cow stable, sawing the Umber with ‘his feet, ant with the hammer in one foot and holding the = with the other, he nailed the boards on as well as most men could with their hands, He dug a well twelve feet deep on a farm in this town and stoned it himself. He could mow away hay by holding the fork under his chin and letting it rest against his shoulder, He would pick up potatoes in, the dig them. He wouid ane his letters, and in fact do almost anything that any man With two arms could do. oo —___ Wedded a Show Window. HOW ‘A YOUNG COUPLE won FURNITUER THEN HOUSE cE From the Chicago Tribune.
