Feeling that the information con
veyed wiii be of material benefit t
many of your readers, I send you the
following: One of our oldest citizens,
Captain C. W. Boynton, the Govern
ment Light House Keeper at this point,
is probably one of the oldest seamen in
Amerjca, having sjuled twenty-six years
on our lakes, and twenty years on salt
water. After this forty-six years ser
vice his eyesight failed him, and for a
long time he kept the Light at Chicago,
until the Government bnilt the Gross
Point Light here, when he was trans
ferred. While seated in my store Ibis
morning the Captain volunteered the
following written statement:
VThis is to certify that I have been
afflicted with rheumatism for .twenty
i20) years, both in my side and limbs.
! am happy to say, that after U3ing
less than two bottles of the St. Jacobs
Oil, I am entirely free from pain, though
still limping somewhat when walking,
from long force of habit." C. W.'Botn
Toxt , '
- iteferrinsr to the foregoing facts, I
migpt allude to numerous similar cases
that hare come to mr notice. Dot a

The Pneumatic Tubs In a and
Startling; Atpect,
Some weeks ago, it may be remember
ed, we printed an extract from a letter
written by a gentleman of New York to
a friend living here ia which hemade
mention of a very nevel and stupendous
enterprise shortly to be set on foot in this
city. . From the following extract, taken
from one of his recent letters, it will be
seen that our New York friend has him
self embarked in a mammoth scheme
which has developed some astonishing
results. lie says; "Our International
Pneumatic Transit Company is now in
lull operation, working perfectly, and is
a great credit to American enterprise
and ingenuity. The pipes at Jlast make
a complete circuit of the earth and, as is
eminently proper, the principal station,
works and 'apparatus are located here.
Th exhaust power is immense, so pow
erful in fact that it is somewhat danger
ous for the uninitiated to go near the
exhaust machine while in operation.
Last Wednesday morning, just
before the 8.40 projectile was
sent through, a clergyman happened
to step into the room 3. JThe exhaust
machine, being accidentally and sud
denly set to work, was carried in
to the tube and whisked around the
world in eight minutes and ten seconds.
The involuntary traveler returned, how
ever, having sustained no damage but a
few bruises, with a new scheme forcon
erting the Japanese and a slight for
eignaccent; The projectiles, or coaches;
are beautiful affairs and have a
seating capacity for five persons,
besides the Conductor. The schedule
time for a trip around the world is five
minutes, allowing a few minutes for din
ner at Weldon, and the purchase of alli
gators' teeth at Jacksonville. This
schedule has to be closely adhered to
in order to prevent 'collisions, as about
twenty projectiles are kept in constant
motion. We have no double track
yet, so only run in one direction. At
first wo sent them westward,
but were obliged to dis?ontinu3 this be
cause of the deadly effect on the conduc
tors, commercial travelere and others
who spend a great part of their time on
the road. We had not considered that
in every trip'nround the world; travel
ing Westward, a day is lost, which at
five minutes to the trip is twelve dajs to
the hour or a whole year, nearly, lost
every diy to the conductor aud travelers,
after allowing them a sufficient time for
meals and recreation. We did not dis
cover this until two of our youngest con
ductors had become gray haired old men
in a few week3. and oue poor fellow,
whom we engaged at ths ae of 3S years,
after being in our employ 52 days actual
ly died of extrema old age So we
changed the course of "travel East
ward with, of courso, the opposite1
result time is gamed instead of
lost; a conductor's age is diminished
nearly a year every day and we tae care
not to engage one under the age of o
years, or retain him longer than 60 days;
at which time he shows a remarkable
fondness for kite3 and marbles. One ras
cal, whom we engaged, misrepresented
his age; he was only 59 years old and,
before his time of serviee had expired,
had to be carried out of his projectile
and turned OTer to a nurse. As this
wonderful result becomes advertised the
tube is daily besieged by old people am
bitiou3 of youth, and as a substitute for
the elixir of youth alone our enterprise
is an assured success."

Simon Gregg's Case.
. Simon Gregg, colored, who was ar
rested by officer J W. Bryan on Mon
day as an escaped convict frbn the South
Carolina penitentiary, is trying to prove
before Justice McQwigg's court that he
is not the "wanted" man. He has pro
duced witnesses who swear to his identity
and innocence, and he avers that he is a
victim of "the fellow who looks like
me.'' The case has been postponed un
til to-morrow on account of the absence
of two witnesses guards at the peniten
tiary at the time Gregg is said to hare
made his escape who are expected to
arrive on the Southern train to-night.
An Appeal.
Daughters or the Cxpk FEAR:--Spring
in her fresh beauty is once more among
ns. In living green and sunshiie glori
ous she sits enthroned over nature, while
the air is thronged with tuneful birds
and "the voice of the turtle is heard in
the land." This, our Memorial month,
will soon sink into the past, a past, per
haps, of vain regrets, cost aside like sea
weed upon the shores of time. While
the floral offerings of Memorial Day are
fading in their beds of gray moss upon
the graves of our boys, and the
echo of the sacred servico still
lingers lovingly upon our hearts,
the little band ot untiring women
would fainj gather themselves together
once more for their annual meeting, and
it is to this meeting that they urge your
earnest attention. The object of a year
Iy gathering together is to reorganize
the Association: to elect officers and
managers for - the ensuing year, and to
hand in the small annual tee, 60 cents,
which entitles each subscriber to a mem
bership for one year, and to a seat n the
enclosure during the memorial serviees.
At their last annual meeting they num
bered not over fifteen souls present; tt
the meeting of the year before, May
1829, not more than nine ladies respond
ed to the summons. Such a lack of in
terest, of patriotism, of gratitude, when
so little is required, is almost unparallel
ed, and renders those who are not phys
ically unable to atteod unworthy to
place even a withered leaf upon the
mound which they should hallow with
tears, and bedeck with flowers I Be ye
wives and mothers and encourage each
neglect? The cause was a common one,
should not the care also be common to
all? Let not this appeal be made in
vain; with your hearts in your hands
come forward and join the thinned ranks
of earnest women, whose only ambition
is to keep loving watch over their sacred
dead! The boys in grey bivouac no more
beneath the stars. Homes are no longer
deserted, and the tocsin of war has
sounded its final clangl We are living,
but they are dead dead for you and us!
Daughters of Wilmington, will you, can
you forget them? i
