CHASING A STEAMSHIP. - Belated Passenger’s Successful Expedient for Overtaking an Outward-Bound Vessel. New York Herald. Just as the Grecian Monarch, of the Monarch Line, cast off on her last outward trip, two carriages dashed through the gateway of the Pavonia ferry-house, Jersey City, from which the steamers of this line sail. Six excited gentlemen jumped out and asked for the vessel. “Gone,” laconically answered the gold-laced official in charge. “Great Beott! but I must catch her; my friends are aboard,” cried the most excited of the party. To his question, what, then, must he do, the official suggested that the passenger should hire a tug, and one that was puffing by was hailed, the necessary arrangements were made, and the entire party got aboard. “Can you do it?” was eagerly asked of her captain when the situation had been explained. “Don’t know; p’raps so,” was his non-committal response. Is was twenty minutes since the steamer left her wharf. Allowing her a speed of fifteen miles an hour she would have been five miles away. But then considerable time was lost in getting straightened out after she left the wharf. And then, again somebody makes the comforting suggestion that until Bandy Hook is reached steamships do not make full speed. Down about Governor’s Island, a mile and a half away, is ’a small forest of masts and a unique collection of many colored funnels. The “game,” however, is quickly spotted. She is just to the north of the island, and as she turns to round it her four masts are clearly outlined. A short distance ahead of her is a threemasted steamer and astern is another threemaster. The Monarch is not going at full speed. In fact, she seems to be crawling alone, while under the bow of the tug the water boils and bubbles and sweeps back astern in a seething foam. She is undoubtedly a fast one, and there is little doubt that she will overhaul the steamer before the Narrows are reached. This optimistic view of affairs is suggested to the captain. He •imply says: “P’raps so.” With their anxiety much relieved the party prepared to enjoy the sail. The sun is shining brightly and there is a balmv softness in the air. The small undulating waves created by the rapid motion of the bow through the water curl past on either side, their tops almost on a level with the low tails. “This is quite an adventure,” says the gleeful voyager. ‘Til just write a few postal cards about it,” anil utilizing the smooth top £>f an iron post in the stern he indites brief notes to friends, telling of the exciting chase, find concluding. “I will go through the Narrows aboard the steamship.” Past Governor’s Island the tug sweeps. The steamer j iasmadea long detour, and appears to be pleading for the Kill von Ktill. “We’ve got ler now.” says a deck hand. “You see she aas to follow the channel and thus take a j long course, while we can take a short cut icross lots, as it were, and head her off at j ihe Narrows.” The bow of the tug is aeaded straight for the narrow outlet ;o the lower bay, while the steamer, illghtlv shifting her course, seems bent !>n running into the northern end of Staten Island. Again she shifts, however, as she reaches the point, until she runs parallel with the shore. The two three-masters still mnintiin their relative positions ahead and astern of her, and another has been added to the procession, while two more have left the mouth of the river and are coming up rapidly. “They're ntnkin’ for the bar,” explains the deck-hand when appealed to; “they’ve got to pet over at high tide or they’ll get left. Ketch her? Well, there’s no tell in’ what may Lap pen.” Not more than three-quarters of a mile now separate the tug and steamer. But to all appearances the distance might just, as well be ten times as great, for the steamer is just about to slip throng the Narrows. A long, hoarse blast, followed by another and another, awakes the echoes on the Bay Ridge shore. The little party gathered on the bow of the tug awaits with breathless suspense an answering signal. A minute passes, and then a puff of white steam is seen from the steamer’s whistle, followed by a dull, muffled sound. But there is no slacking of the steamer’s pace, and a moment later the signal is seen to have been intended for a passing vessel. Past the ruined hnttlements of Fort Lafayette and the frowning gun* of Fort Hamilton into the broad expanse of the lower bay the steamer sweeps. “The jig is up,” remarks one of the party, dropping in a disheartened moment into slatig. The prospective European visitor has ceased writing postal-cards, and concludes to inform his friends in person of hi* adventure. But the tug keeps on, and half an hour later the steamship is stretching away off toward the New Jersey shore, while the tug, which has passed through the narrows, is skirting Coney Island’s sands. Meanwhile the sunshine hus departed. The balmy air lias been succeeded bv u chill inv. misty atmosphere, and instead of the placid waters of the river and upper bay there is now a heavy chop sea, upon which the little tug is tossed tike a shell. More than one of the party begins to look suspiciously white. One after another retires to the stern of the tug, where there is less motion. “No, we’re not agoin’ to try to head her off in the English Channel,” the deck hand explains. “You’d think now. by the way she’s beadin', that she was avojn’ to fetch tin somewhere in Jersey. Well, she ain’t. She’s in what they rail the main channel; that’s the only way she can get out; the water ain’t deep enough for her here on tiie Romer Shoals, where we are. When she gets close to Sandy Hook she’s got to turn sharp to the I left, round the Soti’west Spit, and come right acro s H our bows in the Swash Channel, if we get there soon enough.” As he speaks the three-master, which still maintains hot* lead, veers to the left. The four-master follows suit and bears down at tight angles to the course of the tug. “Thai means she’s doin’ her best,” explains the deck hand, as the hoarse puffing bf the tug* changes in tone an 1 conies with i muffled sound. It is certainly “touch and go.” Less than a quarter of a mile separates the tug and steamer, but the latter iia3 reached her outward channel. She i3 about to turn her head out to sea, aitol once more the tug sounds three long, hoarse blasts, while at the same moment her flag is dipped. A minute of suspense and then three white puff's go no from the steamer. Her propeller ceases its revolutions, and curious eyes peer over, the rail as the tug ranges alongside. A rone ladder is lowered, the plucky passenger climbs aboard, hi* baggage goes lip at the end of ropes, and. with tooting whistles and cheers from tiieir passengers, the vessels separate. ‘ That’s what I call a mighty fine piece of work,” the captain was gracious enough to tav, as the tug started homeward. Tlo Canadian Governor-Generalship. Ottawa Special. A telegram has been sent to the American and Canadian press to the effect that Lome J.s said to h;tvc expressed a desire that his term of office as Governor-general should be extended another year. Lord Lome was gazetted Governor-general of Canada on the 14th of October, 1878; consequently the gubernatorial term, which is six years, although by many it is wrongly placed at five years, will not be completed until October. 1881. Colonial Governors invariably hold office during the pleasure of .Jhc Crown, but their period of service in a colony is usually limited to pix years from the assumption of their unties therein, al

though at the discretion of the Crown a governor may be reappointed for a further term. The rule limiting the term of service to six years was first made applicable to all British colonies in May, 1828, hy Colonial-secretary Huskisson. Canadian governors since confederation, with the terms through which they have served, are as follows: Lord Monck, from July 1, 1867, until Nov., 1868; Lord Lisgar. from Nov., 1868, until Mav, 1872; Lord Dufferin, from May, 1872, until Nov., 1878. Lord Dufferin, after having served his full term of six years, was asked and consented to continue 'Jfri office for a few months until his successor was appointed. • MADAME PATTI. Why >he Declined ail Invitation to Dinner A Misrepresented Woman. New York Tribune, Monday. The prima donna had been invited to attend a dinner party to have been given in her honor last evening, by Mrs. T trail Stevens, but had been ebliged to decline, she said, because she is to sing at the Academy of Music this evening. “I was very sorry,” said Madame Patti, “to be obliged to decline Mrs. Stevens’s invitation; but where there are ladies at dinner one has to do so much talking that it tires me very much, and I always have to refuse such invitations when the dinner is so near the evening on which I sing. I’m afraid of getting tired and injuring my throat. At a little party like mine this evening, where the guests are all gentlemen, it is not so trying to me, for they usually entertain themselves, and I’m not obliged to talk so much as when I’m with ladies.” “But why is it,” continued Madame Patti,” that I’m so misrepresented in the newspapers? Why, I’m reported as saying things which I never said in the world, and sometimes never thought of. For instance, I was grieved to find myself reported the other day as having predicted a failure for Mr. Abbey’s new opera-house. I nevpr said anything like that, for I’ve no reason for knowing anything about it whatever. I simply said that the success of the cage will depend upon the birds put in it. And it was so unkind to misrepresent me! Why, I wouldn’t say such a thing any way, for I know Madame Nilsson very well indeed, and it would certainly be unkind of me to predict a failure for her in her performances in the new opera-house next season. Os course Madame Nilsson won’t be able to sing th2re every night, and it will be necessary iq have someone take her place on the ‘off Lights.’ And what I say. then, is that the success if the cage will denend on the birds put in it That’s what I said, but is not what I was reported to have said.” * * * Do you expect to return to America next season?” “I hone to do so. But if Ido come it will be my farewell. When 1 say ‘farewell’ some of my friends think I’m going to leave the stage. And Ido expect to do so eventually, but. not right away; but still so fi r as America is concerned it would bo my farewell. You see I’ve engagements to fili elsewhere that will take four seasons, so that I can’t leave the stage until I’ve filled them all. And there’s only one season in a year. I must sing in Spain, Italy, Russia, Germany and several other countries before my real farewell will occur. I'm getting very tired of knocking about in this way. I’ve been singing a long time, you know, and I think I ought to stop some time. Then this crossing the ocean is so uncomfortable to me. I’m always dreadfully sick, and 1 dread it. After we’ve been out two or three days I don't mind it so much. Then I usually feel well enough to go on deck.

PETROLEUM. Prospective Utilization of the Oil for Generating Steam. Washington Special. Mr. H. F. Hayden, chief engineer of the Senate, has made some discoveries in the matter of using petroleum in boilers and locomotives which it is thought by some experts who have examined the inventions will create a revolution in the many departments of industry. It is estimated that $5,000,000 have been expended in this country and in Europe in efforts to utilize petroleum as fuel. Mr. Hayden, within the last few days, has taken out a series of patents, and has more which are soon to be issued to him, whicl it is believed will make it possible to utilize not only the lighter hydro-carbon oils, but the heavier, even down to coal tar. Mr. Hayden has been for twenty years a practical student of combustion, and has taken out some forty patents relating in various ways to this subject. He claims for the present inventions, and naval engineers who have conducted the experiments admit that the claim is genuine, that his invention will work ns great a revolution in existing methods as the Siemens-Martin patent did in those which preceded it. Mr. Hayden some time since invented a generator for the use of petroleum as fuel which is now in successful operation at the Norway Iron and Steel Works, of Boston, but the inventions for' which he lias just received patents, while in no way conflicting with the generator, are as great an advance upon that ns the generator itself was upon the old system. These generators, it is thought, will succeed that of Siemens & Martin, not being amenable to the objections to that—that under it, it was impossible to regulate the production of gas to meet the Varying exigencies of the furnace. The new apparatus is comparatively inexpensive, and can be readily adapted to locomotive boilers. It is expected that it will prove especially valuable to those classes of manufacture which require a steady and uniform maximum temperature, such as glass furnaces, and furnaces for fusing ores containing iron, gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead. Possibly the most valuable part of the invention is that which adapts hvdro-carbon oils to the purposes of generating steam on locomotives and boilers on ocean steamers and for staI tionary engines, and not the least public benefit from this new invention, if it proves to be all that its inventor claims for it. will be the prevention of smoko and deleterious gases. Fanatical Temperance Talk. M. V. B. Bennett at Lockport, N. Y. “As for me, I feel that my boys are safe. If any saloon-keeper inveigles them into his place, I shall not appeal to the law, but I shall settle the account with the saloonkeeper myself, leaving his administrator to settle with me.” In order that his meaning might be well understood, he illustrated it by a leaf from his own experience as a lawyer in the West, when he obtained an acquittal of a boy eighteen years old for the murder of a saloon-keeper with a shotgun, which crime was justified by the pica that the father had died of delirium tremens induced by drinking at the saloon. This illustration of Western justice was given with much dramatic style and force, and closed with the expression of the jurors that this was the only way to stop the abuse. “I do not commend this example for your imitation,” said tiie speaker, “but this is one of the principles that underlies this movement.” New Trick i>i Journalism.

A STORY OP SLAVE DAYS. A Romantic Bit of History Evolved from the Files of the Claims Department. Washington Special to Louisville Courier Journal. About half a century ago a slave dealer named Shoellers took a lot of slaves from Virginia to Mississippi for sale. In the lot ; was a fine motherly-looking mulatto woman, | who had with her a little two-year-old girl. The child was so pretty as to attract universal attention, and the mulatto woman was frequently questioned as to its paternity. The woman persisted that she was the mother of the child, but declined saying anything about the child’s father. The mother and child were sold to a young planter in Hinds county, Mississippi, named Kit Morris. Morris was immensely wealthy. He owned plantations in Hinds, Madison and Yazoo counties, and all of them were well supplied with slaves. The home place was in Hinds county, and on this the mulatto woman and the little girl, named Louisa, were located. For the first few years after reaching Mississippi the girl Louisa lived at the negro quarters. As she grew toward womanhood, however, she gave evidence of unusual intelligence, and promised to develop into a remarkably beautiful woman. She was taken into the Mansion House and given to Kit Morris’s eldest daughter as a maid. She was a keen observer and an apt imitator. The Morris mansion was a sort of social center in the county, and a great deal of company was entertained there. Louisa saw much to observe and much to imitate in the fine ladies who frequented her master’s house, and being a great favorite on account of her intelligence, amiability and beauty she was allowed many privileges. Although a slave, she was treated almost as a member of the family. Such good use did she make of her opportunities that at the age of sixteen she was as finished in deportment and as charming in manners as anybody in the country. She regarded herself as a slave, and had no other thought but she was a negro. The old, old story now’ comes in. The planter, of course, became very foud of her, and she became the mother of an illegitimate child. Tiie juulatto woman then came forward and disclosed the truth about the birth of Louisa. She gave the names of 1 the parents, but for obvious reasons they are withheld. It is sufficient to say that, according to the mulatto’s story, Loui ja came of the bluest blood of Virginia. Her mother was the sister of a statesman who occupied one of the highest offices in the gift of the people, and her reputed father was one of the most brilliant and remarkable men who ever occupied a seat in the United States Senate. The trusted mulatto woman bad been induced to adopt this child of shame to save the reputation of a mistress that she loved better than her own life. The disclosure of the parentage was made only to Kit Morris, and he kept the secret looked s§*Purcly in his breast for several years. As the story goes, he repented of his folly, and, while he loved the girl dearly, all improper relations w.th each other ceased. The boy child she bore him took his name and was educated by him in tiie best schools of Virginia. This son entered the Confederate service and fell fighting gallantly at the head of his company at Leesburg, Vn. The girl Louisa continued to five at the Morris plantation, becoming the mistress of the head overseer. Two children were born them, a boy and a girl. They were both acknowledged by the overseer somewhere between 1840 and 1850. A short time after thisa young man named German, from Virginia, located in Hinds county. He saw Louisa, and admired her. Kit Morris, who always had a warm place in his heart for the girl, wanted to see her happily married and settled in life, and he offered to give Louisa her free papers and a plantation on Silver Creek, in Yazoo county, if German would marry her. This German refused to do, because he thought she had negro blood in her veins. Morris then for the first time disclosed to Louisa the secret of her birth, and also made known the facts to German. Being satisfied that Louisa was a white woman, and that she came of the best Virginia Stock, German accepted Morris’s proposition and married her. The couple moved to the Siiver-creek plantation, where they lived and prospered for many years. Not long since German died, and ft is not improbable that Louisa is still living on the Silver-creek plantation, or in that neighborhood. The two illegitimate children of the overseer were well educated, and are now well-to-do people of Mississippi. This little scrap of domestic history was unearthed by the department in a search for the antecedents of Thomas German, whose wife was a claimant for bounty. One cannot help speculating how different in life would the path of Louisa have been had she been the child of lawful instead of illicit love.

I).\N RICE ON TE.UPERANOE, Tho Old Clown Relates His Experience with the Fiowiuff Howl. New York Times. Colonel Rice, being introduced, remarked, after a basso-prof undo “ahem,” which made the audience start, that there was a destiny which shapes our ends, rough-hew them though we may. Mr. Rice continued that lie felt nervous, because some friends had rattled him by alleging that lie was going back into the circus ring simply for the reasofl that he was going to lecture in the Wigwam. That did not deter him from appearin'.?, however, for he had lectured all through the South for charity, and paid his own bills —except where he was abie to stand ’em off. [Murmurs of sympathy.] Here the Colonel said that he had been a very bad man in his time, but had made a departure from the tents of the wicked. “Moody, San key and Dan Rice,” said the speaker,' “will* be spoken of as a trio who lived only to do good to their fellow-men.” He recalled the days when he used to partake of the cup which simultaneously cheers and inebriates, and said that he used to think he could drink more than anybody else without showing it. until he tried conclusions with a man named Jewell, who belonged to the Customlouse, and a fellow named Morse. They got him under the table and went homo sober themselves, and he had always regretted it. Colonel Rice’s advice to young men was not in accordance with the orthodox belief expressed by temperance lecturers. The Colonel said: “If any young man wants to be a true temperance man let him go and get the delirium tremens; that’ll settle it.” He further held out encouragement to youths so disposed by telling of a young fellow he knew in Evansville. Ind., who hod delirium tremens so terribly that he thought he’d been in hell fifteen years, and when lie gave up drinking tiie ladies took an interest in him and bought him a gold watch and chain. The speaker had never yet seen a man get so drunk as he had been himself. “Talk about seeing snakes!” said he, “I’ve seen anacondas, rhinosrihorses, hyenas, elephants. Talk about your Pilots'and your Jumbos! Why, I’ve seen, I’ve seen —” 'and the Colonel left the audience to infer that his vision was preposterous beyond the power of description. lie related a touching tale of a gentleman residing in Illinois who got up 0110 morning after lie had been on a “racket,” and finding his money nil gone, looked through the house, discovered a quarter in a drawer, appropriated it, hied him to a saloon. invited two friends to drink with him, and paid the quarter for tho aforementioned three drinks. They were just wiping tiieir mouths when ihe rurnseller’s little daughter came in and said, “Pan, gimme a quarter to buy a beekstenk for breakfast,” and her dovoted parent handed over the coin he had

| just received for the three drinks. Then the j gentleman, revived and refreshed, went ' home to his own matutinal meal, and found ■ upon the table nought but bread and coffee. |Of his wife he inquired why in the ensanI gained Hades there was no beefsteak. She j replied that somebody had stolen the quarter she had put by to purchase it, ergo, she had j been obliged to do without. The gentleman pondered for a moment and then registered j a mental vow that ho would purchase no ! more steaks for rumsellers’ breakfast. He j has never drank a drop since, and was now i worth a fortune, and wore a plug baton Sundays and legal'holidays. The speaker re- | lated other incidents of a similar nature, in J which virtue was always rewarded and vice punished, and withdrew amid thunders of applause. HE STAKED HIS LIFE AT CARDS. A Brother of Flotow, the Composer, Staked His Life, Lost, and Killed Himself. St. James (Jazotte The long and prosperous career of Flotow, the composer, wiio died last month, was temporarily ciouded in 1864 by the deatli of his younger brother, which took place under painfully dramatic circumstances. He was rather what is euphemistically called a “wild” fellow, and a practical joke which he perpetrated in a half-drunken freak was taken as an insult by the whole body of the Mecklenburg deputies, of whom he himself was one. A dozen challenges ensued, and young De Flotow agreed to meet any single antagonist selected by lot. This, ils it happened, turned out to be a certain Count Z—, one of the deputies who resented the offense most keenly. On De Flotow asking him if he thought a stupid joke worth fighting about, and receiving an emphatic answer in the affirmative. “Beitso,” lie said, “and if you attach as little value to life as I do we will fight in the American fashion—l staking my life against yours in a game of ecarte of five points; the loser to blow out liis brains in twenty-four hours.” The proposition was agreed to, cards were brought and the two men commenced their terrible game. The score stood at four points on each side, when Count Z turned the king. “You have won, sir,” said young De Flotow, rising; “I will pay before noon to-morrow.” Next day he slept till 11. After breakfast he took a turn in the park, and was observed by his valet gazing tor some minutes at the facade of the ancestral mansion; after which he hid his face in his hands for a moment as if weeping, lie then pulled out his watch; it wanted but five minutesof noon. M. de Flotow entered his study. At 12 precisely the report of a pistol shook the window-panes. Ho had punctually killed himself. A Practical Sreet-Car Suggestion. Writer iu Baltimore Sun. Asa bob-tail street car is clearly better than no car, so, perhaps, a small conductor will be preferred to no conductor at all. Why not put a smart, well-dressed hoy on each car, such as arc so usefully employed as messengers? There is very little to be done that a lively boy could not do as well as a man. He could look out for passengers, help ladies and children on and off, take money to the drivers for change, put the fare in the •box, and should there be need for a man’s strength, could call on the driver for assistance. These pages might be hired very, cheaply, and there is no doubt that each of them would save more money than his wages. Another Preacher Ready for the Stage. PttHlmrg Special. The Rev. Charles T. Steck, pastor of the Messiah Evangelical Lutheran Church in this city, will soon exchange the pulpit for the stage. He is an eloquent speaker, has Sliakspenre at his finger-ends, and has been a close student of many of the standard plays of the day. At a private recital given a short time since, upon invitation, at the residence of a friend, he displayed extraordinary talent. He will make his first appearance as Richelieu. lie gaveu private recital to a few friends and critics, who are unanimous in the opinion that he will from the start take hiyh rank among the best performers on the stage, and may in a short time surpass all of them. Senator Voorhces. Hot Springs Special. Senator Yoorhees left this place to-day for his home. He has been recuperating here several weeks, and has succeeded in eradicating all traces of rheumatism from his system. The Senator seems to think well of the new Postmaster-general, Judge Gresham, and is of the opinion that the selection was the best that could have been made. An exhibition that la now being made in the parlor of tin* ladies’ entrance to tho Denison House is calculated to excite great interest among those who are admirers of household decorative art. It consists of a number of beautiful specimens of work, done on a sewing machine, including nil kinds of embroidery, mosaic work, chenille work, arrosene braiding, etc. The solid silK embroidery on tinsel and plush, and tiie appleque work are marvelously beautiful, amt it would bo difficult to find their equal. No such specimens of decorative art have ever before been publicly displayed here, and the ladies of tlm city who are interested in such matters can spend an hour very profitably in inspecting them. A lady is in attendance, and will gladly show the work and explain how it is done. The exhibition is highly attractive and will well repay attendance. It will continue probably until Friday night.

MRS. BEMJJJITH'S CASE What the Rev. Mr. MeKinstry Has to Say About It. To the Public: I have been a fearful sufferer for ilfceen years, most of the time with what lias been called Eczema or Salt Rhcura, Psoriasis and Lepra, and the like, and have always been told that there was no cure for me. and have boon so discouraged that 1 had as soon die as live. I have been so badly afflicted sometimes that there was not the smallest spot from the crown of my head to the soles or my feet that was not diseased and as red as crimson. It would commence tn small white spois, which hail a silvery appearance, but were not deep, but if 1 attempted to heal them, or soon after their first appearance, they would burn and run together until there was a complete dry, red scale, which would become so inflamed as to crack and look fiery and angry, and the burning sensation would be almost intolerable. I was at time) so lame that l could scarcely get about, and co.ud not dress toys' If without assistance. I have tried many remedies and have paid SIOO in a single instance to a physician, but have ever obtained only temporary relief. Although helped for a time, 1 soon relapsed again, to be as badly troubled as ever, and during the winter of 1881 and 1882 I suffer ed so mnen as to be entirely discouraged. Last June, however, I was advised by Elder and Mrs. L. O. McKinsrry, who are well known in theso regions, to try your Cutioura remedies; and I felt somehow a little courage, from their favorable opinion of them, to try their virtues. About the second week of July last 1 commenced taking the remedies. My first, experience was unfavorable, I thought, for my trouble seemed to be increased—lhe result of the Resolvent’s driving the humors of the system to the surface—but l continued persistently to take tiie Resolvent Internally and used the CTul'cura and Cuticura Soap externally, and within six weeks I began to see. a permanent improvement, until now (Oct. 1) lam about us good as new, amt tny flesh is as the flesh of a child.
