Towards Trieste, Austria. Straits of Gibraltar. That white clump circling that nobis bay is Ca diz the point of departure of three of Columbus' voyages. It was there that the tyrannical Don Carlos, com pelled an unfortunate shoemaker to cat a pair of boots which he had made for that prince because they did not fit. How the internal application of shoe leather acted upon the luckless disci ple of St. Crispin we are not inform ed. We have been fold in confidence by a youth of amatory inclinations that externally applied it hurts al most as bad as a buii dog or a shot gun. iDarkness came and with it head wind, 'dead ahead,' blowing directly out of the straits. This com pel led us to 'beat up', so the ''Rialto" be came a sort of Africo-lCuropean ferry boat now lying in the sombre night shadows of the Moroccon raoun tains, tben going 'bout ship' and standing over towards the gleaming light on (fape Trafalgar, then back to Cape Spaitel again, scarcely gaining a ca- les length by the whole nianuvre. his was not only discouraging but also very fatiguing as the straits be ing narrow we were obliged to 'tack ship' every hour, and all hands being required for that operation neither 'watch' could 'go below.' The morn ing sun rose bright and beautiful over the grim rock of Gibraltar, just as sun should rise in this much sung clime. It would be highly reprehend siblein it to rise in any other man ner after so much has been said, sung and written about the cosmic glories of this classic sea. The air was fresh and braci ng. The w i nd blew a reg ular mistral, and though it continued obstinately in the same quarter as the ight before our situation penned somehow brighter in the rosy light of morning. The crew were as niuch refreshed by the ex h Hera ting morn- Jug air and the sight of laud as if they had enjoyed a night's sleep. Owing parly to the strong current that runs through tli ei-aitc V-. ii. Atlantic into the Mediterranean, and -'- - iiuiu ill. partly to our own exertion we had I made considerable progress during the night. We were at the narrow est jgrt of the straits, between the Spanish town of Tarifa and the an cient Moorish city of Tangiers. This city existed when Cecrops laid the first etone of Athens, and was hoary with age when Troy fell. It was here that T., .RU..I:.. i.: c r.. t"gal fought a battle with tha Mnnra - and then disappeared so mysteriously he was called by the Spanish on ac "ot being seeu nor heard from for count of a deficiency in optics) and twenty years. Then he turned up guided by the traitor Julian, That like a royal Enoch A rden, an old white haired man in Venice. The air is so fresh the skies so bine and the landscape so charming that there is exhileration even in 'tackiner Away we speed toward the African shore !

Now ' press on.' not a stone's throw separates us from the walls of the fort. We can look down the throats of the rusty old guns peeping through the embrasures i can count the patches on the com mander's pantaloons. Surely we will dash into the fort ! Suddenly the orders ring out "Hard a lee ! Main top sail haul ! Let fly fore bowline and round all V The heavy yards fly round,, the ship wheels gracefully about, assumes an even keel for a moment, careens to the other side and speeds away like an arrow to the oth er shore, leaving the enterprising Arabs and the martial old fatalist far astern. Th straits are filled with shipping. Some are tediously ,beat ing up' like ourselves ; others run ning westward with 'square yards.' Among the latter is a stately man of war. As it passes us there is a mutual display of colors, followed by a mu tual disappointment. We supposed them to be Danes, and they evident ly took us for Italians like themselves. Again we are on the European side. The green vineyards and olive groves with the cottages dotted about on the mountain sides form a panorama very pleasant to eyes satiated with sea and sky for forty-two days. Every crest and crag is crowned with a little building in the shape of a lighthouse. These are watch towers built for the purpose of keeping and eye on the uncertain movements of the erratic Moors inprdcr to dissuade them from a naughty habit they had of running over the way when the A Igerine stock of Houris ran short and borrowing; a few Senorita Visigoths while old padre Visigoth was out grubbing in his olive orchard. From the Spanish side a splendid view of the Atlas range is obtained and of all grotesque and fantastic shapes they-1 take the lead. One is almost ready to credit the legend that they are a petrified menagepte. Some old Ethiopian John Robinson come to grief perhaps. In this Gorgon ic collection there is a monkey which only needs rascality and breath to be alive; a camel, Gre cian bend, idiotic expression, profuse under lip, ami all. Towering majes tically above them, as befits his regal ity, lies the hoary old weather-beaten Moorish lion, with his shaggy grey head resting mi his paws. He seems grimly conletnplaitig the land of his leonine rival the Brittish roarer from which he is forever excluded. Iu t,,e ravine between this remarkable mountain and the African pillar of Hercules lies the large Moorish city of Ccnta. Here dwelt the bold trai tor Count. Julian. Here was the home of the proud Countess and her daughter, the beautiful and un fortunate Florinda. From this port in 710 set out the expedition which subdued Spain commanded by the doughty Toric (or Toaic el Tuerto as great white building on the edge of the precipice is the castle from the highest turret of which the crafty and cruel hurled the five year old j son of Count Julian, while the dis- tracted mother, held by two Moorish soldiers, beheld the scene from below, One moe 'tack' and the grim rock of Gibraltar, the Key of the Levant, : fnivprinir 1400 fppf ahnvf tfip KM. lips ' " on our weather bow.

Rising above them terrace upon terrace, gallery upon gallerv are countless batteries of the most formid able guns the world possesses. On the extreme summit is seen what from our deck appears to be a pen holder with a diminutive red rag on the end, but which in reality is a flag-staff bearing the standard of Brittania. One of her patriotic poets assures us she "needs no bulwarks, no tower along her steep." She nevertheless possesses herself, by what Hare naively ealls 'policie' of any stray bulwarks, towers, etc., that fortune may throw in her way. By this time we are within pistol shot of the mole. Affairs begin to assume an intensely interesting appearance. Opinions as to whether we will weather the point or not are about equally divided. Like Toric we have gone too far to retreat, and as a Yankee skipper re marked off Cape Cod "we've got to weather that air p'int or put our an gel plumage on." Now not a ship's length separates us from the light house on Europa point. The keeper surveys us with a calculating eye and wonders how the wreckage will 'pan Out.' Some of the men cast earnest glances at the life preservers. A minute more and the Rialto sweeps past the southern extremity not three fathoms distant. A little group of English officers, standing on -the jetty swing their caps, a Danish man o' war in the bay dips his colors, the light-house keeper turns disappoint edly away, and the Rialto at last floats in the azure waters of the Med iteranean. At our nearest point to the mole we could have thrown a cat ashore. Not being possessed of the necessary feline however we could only content ourselves with observ ing that such a thing was possible. (2o be Continued.) Ugly Spots on Their Record. BlaineJ8 Use of the Cipher Logan in a Snap His Anti- War Record. New Bork Sun's Special. Washington, June 18. A very careful examination of the records of Blaine and Logan has alrtady begun. In Logan's case it is susceptible of proof by gentleman in this city that at the beginning of the war he was as bitter iu his opposition to what he called the coercing of the Southern States as any secessionist. To one gentlemen, now living here, who met Logan on March 9, 1861, Logan said that he regarded the attcmp of Lin coin to coerce sovereign States as un constitutional and infamous, and if it was persisted in he would go to his borne in southern Illinois aud raise a regiment to help those States defend themselves against Federal encroach ment. Logan's early secession pro clivities iu southern Illinois will.be made public. Logan expects to spend the summer months in Maine, prob ably taking a cottage at Mt. Desert. This will give him the opportunity to be close to Blaine. When Mr. Blaine was returning from Garfield's funeral he said to a friend, who suggested that he would be the next republican nominee : ''No, I am discharged cured." Yet notwithstanding this assertion, little facts are leaking out which show that the White House fever is never Cured. Mr. Blaine, for instance, was in con stant communion by cypher telegrams with his managers in Chicago. He followed their advice in all things, and it is asserted that when he went to the railway station on Monday he had not fully decided to go North un til a cypher dispatch was handed to him at the depot telling him to go. That Mr. Blaine not only knew who the agents were who went through the South, but also suggested some of them, as certain. Assertions about the use of money to secure his nomi nation are being made in greater and greater detail. The editor of the Sun day Capital asserts that money in large quantities was used to secure Blaine's nomination. Nor was there anything haphazard in the way in which the bribery was done. A man to do the buying was assigned to each of the several delegations from the South. Thirty votes were wanted not later than the third ballot, and prices were arranged for the first, second and third ballots. It has been asser ted in detail that 010,000 was sent to the Sherman House for six votes from South Carolina, but Smalls watched his delegation so closely that only two were obtained. The same sum was ready for six votes from North Carolina and Tennessee. It was asserted by a Texas delegate that from $750 to 84,000 had been des tributed among the delegates from his State. It is probable that the story of Blaine's attempt to have Garfield's Cabinet during his illness declare that the President was unable to per form the duties of the office and urge Arthur to assume the functions of the office during the disability will be told. It was believed at the time that nothing but the threat of Mac Veagh prevented Blaine from over ruling the rest of the Cabinet who were opposed to this dangerous line of policy. One of Blaine's leading managers said yesterday that arrangements were being made for a meeting between Blaine and Conkling early in August. Through the intervention of friends a reconciliation has been effected. Ac cording to this man's assertfon, Conk ling is willingto makeseveral speeches for Blaine after the October elections. This assertion agrees with an opinion expressed by Collector Robertson at Chicago. It was said as a result of such action Conkling would probably be returned to the Senate as Lap ham's successor. It is apparent that the Blaine man agers will have no difficulty in rais ing all the money they want. The Star-routers, with a lively sense of favors to come, will contribute liber ally, and it is reported that William Walter Phelp's individual subscrip tion of $100,000 has been promised.

The bill appropriating $100,000 to the New Orleans World's Exposition has final ly passed the House, For Elector at Large. It i more than probable that the name of Hon. W. M. Robbins of Statesvile will be presented to the State convention as a suitable candi date for Presidential elector, on the Democratic ticket from the State at large, as it is understood that his friends re anxious to bring him back into active politics. Maj. Robbins, if appointed, and we understand that he would accept the appointment, would make an admira ble, effective and energetic canvass of the State for the Democratic nominee of the Chicago convention. He is probably as well posted on national politics as any man in North Carolina, and he is one of the best public speak ers in the State. If the coming canvass, as many suppose, is to be hot and heavy, Maj. Robbins can hit as many and as hard blows as any man we know of. We believe no better selection could be made. Maj. Robbins never fails to interest and rouse his audi tors. ome of the English medical jour nals have already begun to point out the great importance of not over-feeding infants with starcy foods, such as bread, farina, gruel, etc., as the Warm season approaches. According to au thorities like Sir James Paget, such over-feeding is a fruitful cause of the large infant mortality in warm weath er. The one article most necessary to the life of a child is water. London, June 20. A Berlin dis patch to the Morning T?ost says that several important arrests were made yesterday in connection with an in cendiary conspiracy. This conspira cy it is asserted, has ramifications in America. Should inquiry prove that the German conspirators have receiv ed funds from America, immediate diplomatic action will be taken by the German representative at Wash ington. Washington, June 20. Wm. H. Dempsey, a well known bookseller and statiouer of this city, has been arrested on a charge of being connect ed with navy department frauds. Detective Wm. P. Wood has repre sented to the secretary of the navy that he has found evidence of even more extensive frauds in other bu reaus of the navy department than in that of medicine and surgery. Nashville, June 20. The Dem ocratic State convention adjourned last night after re-nominating Gov. Bate by acclamation. Th platform endorses the administration of Gov. Bate, regards the adjustment of the debt of Tennessee as final, and pledges faithful -maintenance of its conditions, and favors a tariff for sufficient reve nue to defray the expenses of the gov ernment. "I will not allow any one to say that any man served in the war with more zeal than I did," is Senator Lo gan's blustering way of extolling his own ardent patriotism. Perhaps no body wants to say that, but we take the liberty without the Senator's per mission, of saying that some men made up their minds on which side to serve with consideraqle more promptness than John A. Logan did. Boston Globe. Nordenskjold, the Arctic explorer, is asking Aritish assistance for an ex pedition to the South. Ships have never approached the South Pole nearer than 2,000 miles.
