R. pull down thebrooni which he has been flying from the mast head of the White Star steamier Majestic since August 5th. A new queen of the sea was crowned yesterday, when the Majestic's sister ship Teutonic, Captain Irving, R. N. R., arrived at New York, after having smashed all -previous records with a phenomenal run of 5 days, 16 hours and 31 minutes, from Roche's Point, Queenstown, to the Sandy Hook lightship. The best run previous to this eplendicl per- iormance was made by the Majestic ngust 5th of tide month, when she arrived off Sandy Hook 5 days, 18 hours and 8 minutes from Queenstown. Before that 5 days, 19 hours and 18 minutes had been the record, held by the Inman steamer City of Paris since August 28th, 1889. This time, though, there is believed to be no doubt about the time made by the Teutonic, and she stands the undisputed holder of all ocean records. wIIAT THE LoCi SlioWED. This is the record of the Teutonic's runs by days: August 14 460 August17 510 .August 15 490 Augus118 517 ...a.ngust 10 , . 605 To Sandy Hook.— 290 Total —2,778 The Teutonic arrived at the lightship at twenty-four minutes before 2 o'clock yester- day morning, lopping off nearly two hours from the five days and three-quarters' trip of the Majestic, and bringing joy to the hearts of those who predict that the trans- atlantic voyage will yet be made in five days and a half. Captain Irving was feeling very happy yesterday, and when I asked him if we should have the pleasure of congratulating him again before long, the Captain said, 'modestly "Tho log shows that on the fifth day we broke the record of day's run- g by making 517 miles, and I suppose we might do that every day under the same conditions. Chief Engineer Hugh Curry was no less a happy man than his commander. "If any one gives us anything to do," said he, "we'll silo it. The Majestic did give us something to do and we attended to the work cut out for us, didn't we ?" HOW IT WAS DONE. Engineer Curry said the average revolu- tions of the screw were about eighty to the minute, except on the day of the longest run, when they went up to eighty-one. The horse power was at times as high as 20,000 and from that down to 15,000. The average speed per hour was 20.35 knots, or 23.40 miles. The Teuton's coal consumption averaged about three hundred tons every twenty-four hours. The Teutonic, for the first two days out, had head winds, which made the prospect for a record breaking voyage look dis- couraging, but after that the weather was fair and the great runs were made. The rim of 517 miles beat the single day record of 515 which was held by the City of Paris, although the Majestic held the record of the ocean trip. The excitement among the passengers over the race against tirne was great after the first two days out. On the fifth day out the popping of champagne corks greeted the announcement of the greatest single clay's record ever made. EOR.HER RECORD BREAKERS. This is a list of steamers which have 'broken the ocean record since the transat- lantic lines began to call at Queenstown for their mails in 1866, the time always being reckoned from the moment the steamers passed the Roche Light, at Queenstown, until they arrived off the Sandy Hook light- ship: Mate.

The Teutonic's course took her just 2,778 miles, or one mile more than the 2,777 made by the Majestic when she broke the record. The Teutonic left Queenston at 48 min - ales past 1 o'clock p. m. on,Aug. 13th. At five minutes past 2 o'clock the vessel passed Daunt's Rock. From this point the voyage proper began. The following are the daily runs: Friday 460, Saturday 496, Sunday 505, Monday 510, Tuesday 517. At 1.36 o'clock this morning the noble craft had the Sandy Hook light -ship abeam. When the voyage was completed the Teutonic had covered 2,778 miles. This is the fastest trioon record. The Majestic, which previously beat the record, made the run in 5 days 18 hours 8 minutes. On the first day out a strong westerly breeze was experienced. On the second day I& fresh westerly breeze was blowing. On Sunday the wind veered to the northwest and blew moderately. During the remainder of the run the vessel had high, variable winds. The sea wassmooth nearly all the way across. The Teutonic brought 290 first cabin passengers, 180 second cabin and 900 steer- age, and was in command of Capt. D. T. Irving. The run of 517 miles on the 18th is the fastest time ever made in 24 hours by any trans-Atlantic steamer, and the TEES of 505, 510 and 517 for three consecutive days beats the record of the City of Paris several miles.

It is astonishing, says the Illust/rated American, how rare a gift is an even balanced judgment, able on short notice to grasp a novel situation and even change one's point of view for its unprejudiced treatment, An illustration of this occurred soine time ago in the history of a well- known, orphan, asylum for girls. To the board of lady managers came, one day, a carefully written missive in the studied English of an imperfectly educated Getman. The writer represented him- self as a steady and hard-working man, who by years of in- dustry had amassed a competence. He was a bachelor and desired to marry, but having made no acquaintances in Arneriea among women and niistrusting the housevvifely traits Of the average girl, he wrote to beg that the guardians of the institution would aid him in finding a helpmate. He felt sure that within this well -kept home there ,must be carefully -reared girls of industrious habits and reliable character. If so, might he have the liberty of a selection? the letter, of whinh this is the substance, closed with his address, both business and resi- dence, and a goodly list of references. The reading of the letter by the secretary at an open meeting provoked no little mirth, and the majority were for setting it aside as unworthy their notice. Net so one old lady, who, by the way, was nearly 80, and whom one would readily excuse for any extreme policy. She held her own counsel, but, taking the letter, made careful ingniry as to the writer, whom she iliscovered to be all he claimed for himself. This fact thor- oughly established, she then wrote him a personal note, inviting him to be present at the annual May -day party, soon to take place at the institution. Meeting him she said : "1 shall introduce you to half a dozen of our nicest girls. Any one of them would make any honest man a good wife. The girls know nothing of your intention, so you shall meet them without embarraes- ment" It took the stolid old Teuton but a short time to make a selection. The man was a comely fellow, and was accepted, and there was a wedding, and a penniless orphan, whose individuality had hitherto been designated by a number, left her little iron bedstead in the dormitory to go to a cosy home of her own, and to be an holiest man's wife. This was some years ago. The happy couple have prospered, and beneath their own vine and fig tree (literally, for this happened in New Orleans) have reared a healthy brood of little ones. So much for a wise woman's judgment. JEAN A.ND JACK. Yesterday the Queen of England reviewed the French and British fleets off Spithead, amid the booming of cannon and the cheers of the men-of-warsmen, and after it was over the French admiral boarded the royal yacht and paid his respects to Her Majesty, and both, we are told, exchanged inter- national compliments. Britain is playing the host in grand style this season. Ger- many's Emperor was received a short time ago with a pomp and circumstance seldom seen in that or any other country. The Prince of Naples and other royalties have also tasted of British hospitality, but yes- terday's display of friendship on the water was almost as great as that made for Wil- liam on shore. What queer people those Europeans are, says the New York Herald. England and France are so close to each other that a ship in midchannel can eight both countries. Each has a lot of big war ships lounging about with nothing better to do than Make their crews miserable. Yet for the first time in more than a quarter of a century a French fleet has just visited an English port. Why not before? Visiting costs the respective governments little or nothing while the vessels are in commission and steam is up. They have no possible reason for fighting one another. France doesn't want to fight any Power but Germany, while Britain daren't get into a row with any neighbor of her size; she isn't a bit afraid to fight'she is merely prudent; as a nation devoted to business should be. After their joint fighting in the Crimea and their joint bullying and swindling in Egypt, Britain and France should have outgrown their babyish pout about that old affair at Waterloo. Indeed, they would have done sd already could Britain have had her way, for no nation on earth is more willing to let bygones be bygones—when it chanced that she came out ahead. France'however has acted -like some of the Kentucky families whose great -great-grandfathers carne to blows and shotguns about a stray cow or somethhig equally in- significant, with the result that posterity has had its back up ever since. But at last England and France are rub- bing noses by proxy through their ugly ironclads. The English tars are playing host in their hearty and irresistible manner, and the Frenchmen are absorbing Plymouth gin and Scotch whiskey, and learning to sing "We Won't Go Home Till Morning" and "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Thenext time those Frenchmen chance to sight Dover cliffs from the decks of their respective ships their lips will part in reminiscent smiles instead of to show grim rows of close set teeth. As for the Englishmen, they will drop in at Cherbourg to return the call, they will be filled with better brandy than they ever get at home, they will be rushed up to Paris to see the girls, and, finally, as they steam away with thicker heads and softer hearts, they will inform one another that a Frenchman is a blanked good fellow when you come to know him. All of which will hasten the day when ironelads shall be stripped to their skins and turned into col- liers, while eighty -ton guns shall be put into museums to show posterity what fools their ancestors were.

C., special despatch is as follows : A catastrophe is reported by the Treasury Department from the Arctic regions. It is said that the crews of two small steam whalers wintering near the mouth of the Mackenzie, about 500 miles east of Point 13arrow, have been massacred by the natives of that region. All told, the crews of the two vessels numbered over 60 persons, well equipped and provisioned for a long siege, with rifles and ammunition, not so much for the purpose of defence as for supplying themselveswith game. Here- tofore the natives have been very friendly to the whites. Many of them are well armed, having been supplied with rifles by trading vessels, which have exchanged whiskey and 6nins for furs. While it is a new thing for whalers to winter in the Arctic as far east as these two steamers have, white men have spent win- ters on shore with the natives and have lived with a good degree of comfort. There are several thousand natives within the boundaries described. Reindeer, wild and domesticated, abound, fur bearing animals are found a day's journey into the interior, and game birds are found in great flocks in the open waters. Whaling crews encamped on the land would not be under any such strict discipline as might be enforced on shipboard, and if their intercourse with the natives was offensive, they have probably been overpowered by superior numbers. AS TO MORNING BATHS. Why it is Better to Bathe Just Before Going to Bed. Cold water is a narcotic, as alcohol is. It deadens the sensibilities of the skin'and hence prevents the sensation of cold. It re- lieves the disposition to chilliness because of this deadened sensibility, and as colds and catarrhs are due to hyper -sensitiveness of the skin, we readily see that the cold morning bath prevents the cold by reducing the sensitiveness. But the cold morning bath does some- thing more. It arouses nervous activity by calling upon the vital system for increased animal heat. The contraction of the ves- sels due to the cold is followed by a relaxa- tion of them, explained by the principle f reaction, and so through the gold both action and reaction are established, which frequently give delusive excitements to the victim. The tepid or warm morning bath is a great improvement over the cold water bath, but even these are not to be com- mended. Whoever would ,enjoy the best of health should take his bath two, three or four times a week, and retire to bed for a rest, thereby allowing nature to secure the best equilibrium of her forces and promote the best conditions of health. But no bath should be taken while the patient is weary from labor or excitement. Rest is then indicated. The bath should never be taken on a full stomach, nor immediately before a meal, as further power is needed for other purposes under such circumstances.—Dr. Robert Walter in Laws of Health. RAIIII&CEDA'S STRAIT. Seizing the Treasury Silver Bullion to Buy War Materials. A London cable says: The Times pub- lishes a letter from Lisbon declaring that President Balmaceda, of Chili, being Unable to borrow money, seized the silver bullion in the treasury of Santiago de Chili; stored there as security for the Fiduciary circula- tion, and tried to transport this silver abroad as payment for ships and arms ordered in Europe. Balrnaceda was not able to hire a private vessel to transport the silver, but he pursuaded the commander of the Espiegle, a British man-of-war, to con- vey a tnillion dollars to Montevideo. The Times says it is is confident this was done without the consent of the British admiralty, adding that it seems as though a British man -of war had been made the accomplice of a downright robbery. The transaction, tho Times says, demands a full investiga- tion. Off on the Weather. "What is the matter with your barome- ter ? It acts as if it were crazy."
