the Lake, as did the Troops and Gun Boats At 1 p i n the vessels anrhored olTCriiiislands the troops and Gun Boats went up the River where they encamped.

Wednesday 1th • * At C, a 111 gut un­der Weigh with the vessels and proceeded up to Crown Point, leaving Major Carleton and his Detachment with the (Jim Boms in Gillislands Creek. At 7 n m came to anchor Oil' Soap House point where we joined the Carleton.

Thursday nth * * At is o'clock the Liberty and Victualler arrived, at half past eleven came on board a Seoul.

Friday lith * * Perceiving that Major Carleton would pass Crown Point this night a.j soon as it was dark 1 passed Crown Point with the vessels, but it coming little Wind I anchored oft' Putnam's Point, saw a lire on the East shore which I presumed was a Rebel Scout, and as their discovery of us might be attended with dangerous conse­quences to Major Carleton, I thought proper and sent a strong parly on shore to sur-ronnd-theni, which they did. but they proved to be a Flag of Truce coming in with Fam­ilies, seventy-three persons in number. I immediately got them all on Board to pre­vent their sending any person to alarm the country when they saw us.

Saturday 7th * * I sent the Liberty down with the Families taken oil last night, ordered the Carleton to proceed to J icun-deroga with the Lee and Victualler. * *

Sunday 8th * * Continued warping and towing up, at 3 a in the wind blew so fresh we gcmid not warp, but Was obliged to anchor.

Monday '.1th * * C mtiimed warping ahead, at 3 p. in. came aloug-id» a llaiteanv. Willi ID volunteers from the country. At s p m the Carleton.- cutter came ulmig-ide with Lieut McAlls 11, who I had sent with Major Carleton to command the Gun Boats. He informed me that Major Carleton was landing safe and unseen in South Bay, near Skeaiisborough, and that a Flag of Truce was on Board, the Carleton having brought in some Families, which Families went down in the Carleton tender to St. .Tohns. Light airs and fair at ii a 111 got under Weigh at '.1 past through the Bridge at Ticonderoga I immediately went cm shore with a number of hands and proceeded to the mills, ordered three Batteaux and a Gun Boat to join me Ih-re, all hands employe."! in getting the Bitteaux into Lake ?'"orgo. It wa- with great dirtk-ulty I got two m that night, one of which was so much damaged m getting over as to be rendered u--less.

Wednesday 11th * * At -i a m s-nt L'eut McAlleu with the party I ye-terday to get another Balieaux into Lake G-orge in room of the one rendered useless, a ' t e n sent down two Batt-anx lo St Johns with Friends to government, at - p. ra Lieut McAIlen and party returned, having com­pleted my orders. In reconoitring the situ­ation of the vessels I thought the other side of the Bridge the most proper for the vesst Is an 1 Boats, for should the enemy take pos-s—ion or Mount Independence they could greatly annoy th- vessels in passing the Bridge. I immediately shifted the positions of the vessels and Boats to a quarter of a mile below the Bridge.

Thursday, Pith * * I landed the offi­cer and troops serving as Marines on board the vessels on Muuut Independence. I then took a Boat, dragged and searched to s-e if T could tind any gnus which had been thrown from the Fort when evacuated by General Powell, but to 110 purpose, there a num­ber of guns lying on shore but all rendered! us-less. At sun set the Troops all embark­ed on Board the vessels.

expense. Two Saturday night lectures have been given by Hiram Walworth and Judge Wat-on, and have been of great interest and well attended. The next one of the course will be on Saturdav night of this week, by Mr. K. K. Trumbull, on "The Railway Mail Service," in which he is engaged on the Chateuugav road. There have been "C baths taken, the Secretary has made in.s calls, writ leu It'J letters aud received S3, written Mi newspaper notices and li) church n o t i c e s ; l o o p a p e r s a n d m a g a z i n e s l e a v e been distributed among railroad men; 73 strangers have called at the rooms.

Wliiit the Association wants more than anything else is that the young men of Plattsburgh may come to feel an ownership in the organization and come to make its rooms their headquarters, not forgetting to ice to it that their names are on its mem­bership book. Then, when those for whom it is in existence have shown their apprecia­tion of and active interest in it, it is ex­pected that the men and women of means will come forward and give the institution a home uf its own, iu it deserves ami so sadly needs.

IMattslmrgli Town Board. At a special meeting of the Town Board

town, i At the springs are bath houses, or rather each spring is enclosed by a room and so arranged that to bathe you walk right into t h e s p r i n g a n d u s e t h e w a t e r j u s t a s i t c o n i e s out ot the ground; no bath tubs of any kind, just the spring itself. And from some of tlie springs tlie water is taken through a c e m e n t , - h a n d - m a d e w a t e r c o u r s e t o t h e suburbs of the city, where there are free bath houses for the poor, and a large, bath house for others fitted with swimming pools and all modern baths. The gardens and parks in all these cities are lovely: flowers of all kinds known to me, and many I never even heard of. TIIP streets are all paved with stone and are kept swept clean all the time. The roses, violets, pansies, oleanders, morning glories, four-o'clocks, pinks, daisies, in fact" everything but the real tropical Mowers are iu blossom now. Plants we keep in the house the year around are iu the p a r k s i n full b l o s s o m . T h e o l e a n d e r s a r e great shade trees and the flowers are as large as a tea-cup, and are so thick that the tree looks like a bouquet.

I wish I could tell you all, but I can't be­gin to. I am about 2G0 miles north of the City of Mexico, and iu oue of the most beau­tiful spots I have 3een. The town is com­mon, but the country climate and surround­ings are grand. I have been here over a week, aud the days are like pleasant June weather. No fires—no use for them; cool enough to make one feel good nights and mornings; always cool in the shade but quite warm in the sun. The natives live out of doors; the Americans would if they know how, lor it is grand, and I am told that with-tlie exception or a little while in April and'Klay," when it gets some warmer, it is like this the year around.

buoys, guide boards, match boxes, etc. This paint is not phosphorescent, but it absorbs the light in the day, or from artiliclal lights by night and puts its light nut in the dark. A luminous cardboard is also used for various puposes.

An Indian professor who took out a thirty-five hundred-dollar insurance policy in 1.-50, received an oiler from the company twenty years ago to Cash the policy for two thousand dollars, or pay him an annuity of four hund­red and ten dollars. He elected to take the annuity, and now, at the age of ninety, has drawn from the company more than eight thousand dollars.

Rev. A. S. Fredin of Dayton, la., is travel­ing through the Northwest raising money for the Swedish Evangelical church by means of the divining rod. "He discovers gold and sil­ver mines, charging sometimes as high as S1000 and a tenth interest. He uses a gold rod lor discovering gold mines; silver for sil­ver mines, etc. He is about 50 years old. and believes the hand of God directs him in this work.

The new Colorado tunnel will, when com­pleted, be by far the longest tunnel iu the world. I t will connect Colorado City with Sunol, and will be twenty miles in length, with subsidary tunnels bringing the extreme length to Ufty miles. The tunnel proper lias­es under Pike's Peak at a depth of seven thousand feet, and will throughout its course maintain an average depth of nearly three thousand feet.

At the plate mill of the Illinois Steel Co. may be seen any hour one of the marvels of practical scientific achievement, namely, a magnet that will lift five ton3 of red-hot steel: and not only that, but a magnet that will pick up a dozen huge steel plates and drop them, one at a time, with perfect regularity, quick­ly, and quietly. Ono of the company's mag­nets is especially designed for handling the hot plates and ingots of steel, no difficulty whatever being found in handling a 0,000 or 8,000 pound ingot at a low red heat.

Tiie Chenab irrigation canal, in the north­west provinces, India, is 200 feet broad. It is doubtless the largest canal in the world. Its main channel is 450 miles long, while the principal branches have an aggregate length of 2,000 miles, and the village branches will extend, when completed, for an additional 4,000 miles. Apart from irrigation, the longest canal in the world is that which ex­tends from the frontier of China to St. Petersburg, and is 4,472 miles in length. Another Russian canal, from Astrachan to St. Petersburg, is 1,434 miles long; both tbe last named canals were begun by Peter the Great,
