Garcia's Expedition Put Aboard the Bermuda and Are on theWsyto Cuba, A dispatch from Soiner's Point, N. J., of Wednesday says: Affti threu failures Gen. Calixto Garcia is at last noon his way to Cuba ti fight against tho Spaniard. To gether with sixty-two of his country men ho was put aboard the steamer Rormiida oil hero this morning by a little passenger steamer from At lantic City. The entire scheme was cleve.lv worked out and the agents ot the Spanish Government are said to have been badly taktn iu. It is now known that the mem hers of the expedition left I'liila delplna in a rather open maiun r on Sunday night in a tug. To all intents and purposes it was pro claimed from the house-tops that their destination was the Delaware breakwater, and that it was from oil there that a steamer would be boarded for Cuba. It is presumed that the Spanish officials had the tug followed when it left rhiladel pliia. The Cubans went upon this presumption, at lea-t, and (luring a tog on -Monday afternoon their tug doubled and returned up the Deia ware bay and river to Camden, ar riving there Monday evening. I lie paity at oi.ee boarded a special tram, which landed them at i'uek ahoe. Tho Cubans boarded the steamboat Atlantic City, which was I vi g waiting for them. Ihe Ai lautic City is used for summer traf fic at the seashore resort of that inline. It has been out of conmiis .ion for several months. On Mon. day last the Atlantic City took out papers of inspection from the ens toni house for the purpose, as sup posed by ihe cuntoms officials, of putting her n temporary com mis clou, us it was known that some parties had been negotiating to pur chase her. The Atlantic City lelt ltickahoo at o o clock yesUrday morning, and tttamed to Ocean City, where she lay all night. While the Atlantic City was at Tuckahoe and Ocean Ci'y none of the Cubans were visible on di ck, but this morning when the whistle of tho l'ermuda attiactcd people along the cmist, the concealed men came on deck and gave Coeer alter cheer as the Atlantic City steamed out to meet the Ih rmuda. On the three-iuile limit ihe transfer of the Cubans to the Ilenuuda took place, and the steamer then pioceeded on her way. The customs house of ficials were caught napping and could do nothing to hinder the transfer ol them. They at once communicated with the airhonties at Washington. The secretary of the Company which oaiis the At lantic City says that the steamer was only put in commi'scion for the purpose ot giving her a trial trip, Music From His Coffin.

A Washington eoeiial to New Yoik Sun says : Secretary of Agriculture Morton returned this morning from Ashe- vine, IN. C, where he has lieen "pending a week orto Investigating Liitiiiorc, the lamous estate of George Vanderbilt, and he told his colleagues at the cabinet meeting to-day that there is nothing in the woild, owned by sovereign or eiib- jeei, iiiui win compare who ir, ; . . .. mi - either as a residence or as an obioct hss n in tho agricultural arts. It w a grand idea," said Mr, .Mot ton to day, "that young Mr. Vanderbilt is trying to carry out. It is unique, and none b.it a man of his enormous w ealth could under take it. Few kings have either funds or tho j;ood of their people at heart sufficient to conceive and carry out wha' Mr. Vanderbilt has succ' sMully deinoiir-trated. I do not know how much ni' tiey ho hta spent there, nor how much more he intends to invest, but it is one of the grandest undertakings that in- livnlua! enterptisi) ever attempted. and I understand that it is tho owner's intention to leave it a. a legacy to the public when he cnu no longer enjoy it hnm-elf. "lhcie are Ii.",0i.i0 aires in the estate, and every inch of it may be said to be under scicnt'lic cultiva tion, embracing every branch of (he vegetable kini;dom.

His stables, his bams, his diiriei-, his propagat ing houses, his henneries, and other features of his establishment are all on the same grand scale. Ho has undertaken to furnish the Inj'lntt possible example of the science of food culture in every one of its branches. Ho has employed the best men he can find to take charge of his exH-riiii'jnts, and pays tin in salaries that are commensurate with their sei vices. There aru Germans i t i , auu f rencliiiieti and Italians and Englinhmen, as well as Americans, employed. the foreigners are u'.'d:ly men ot high professional reputation, who are attached to universities in the Old World, and spend their vacations, three, four or six months, on Mr. Vanderbilt'e estate looking al'ier their nspeciive departments. While the Work has not yet been carried far enough to show the results, the possibilities of usefulness offered by Mr. Van derbilt's enti -prise are unlimited. I consider his woik there just as important to the agricultural in ten st a of this country as the De pH'tmentof Agriculture at Wash ingtoii. He employ, more men than I have under my charge at.d 1 think he is spending more money every year than Congress appro priates for this department, al though I do not know his figures. He has nearly a thousand names "ti his pay roll and we have ab ut seven hundred. His men are pro moted for efficiency, according to the most prtic ieal civil service ruhis. If a man w ho is employed at a dol lar a day to shovel dirt shows that he is callable of something letier, his work and his wages are advanc ed, arid the minu ru e is applied to every Ixaly on the estate. 'If there was nothing else to be accomplished. Mr. Vanderbilt is at iesst building up an educational in .tittrion thai will furnish tcicntitic Pinners and teacher, f r the in struction of : ho rest of nun. kind, and I feel like thahking old Co n mialorb Vandelbllt for ha ing given us a grandson who has the brains and the lenevolciice de vote his wealth to sfford the public such valuable object lesions in ar , architecture, agriculture, foreilry, viticulture, dairying, road making and other useful sciences.

Record of Christian Wrork. Smokeless Engines. Sesboaid engine No. 540 pulled out ot tho Lriiion depot this morning pulling less smoke than did ever an eiiginw do before in this city. In tact 540 had on a new fangled arrangement that no other engine in ihe South has obtained. It is ihe fuel saving and smoke burning appatatus, which its inven tor claims destroys ninety per cent, of smoke and saves a remarkable amount ot fuel. The invention 1ms tieeti accepted and adopted by all the great railway systems of the North and thu Seaboard is the first Southern Railroad to experiment with it. The inventor, Mr. A. F. Kings Icy, of Washington, D. C, was at thu depot this morning and watched the attachment as it worked on the engine. Very little smoke came out ot tne smoke stack. Mr. Kii gi-ley'6 patent is two yeais old. 't tits cm an engine near the stack and is not observed link- r,y an engineer or export. Ry Mr. Iv:ngsley's arrangement, the escap ing gas and smoke w hich ordinarily flows from an engine is saved and converted into steam. Then the smoke from coal, which is veiy ob j ctiouable is done away with. In utilizing the gas in smoke which or dinarily escapes, a great per cent, of fuel is sived. The Seaboard is making n expo rimeiit with the iuel saver. I he lest is being made under the diiec lion of Mr. Will Harding. He has tried the engine w ithout the fuel sa ver, and is now (r)ing one with it. Ihe te.t, if satisfactory will result in the equipment ol all the Seaboard engines wilh the new device.

Mean s, general agent of the Sea board Air Line, and put the usual querry of new spsperdoin : "What's the news V "Not a thing," he replied, "unless you want to make an item of mystery on the Scabofrd Air Line that up to date has not been soh ed Capt. Meares then w ent on to say that between tho forty-nine and tjfiyjc mile posts on theCaiolimi 'a ntral railroad there is a piece ol tracK mat tor a distance ot nearly six miles that presents a singular condition that so tar amounts to an inexplicable mystery. All trains going and coming go to' grinding and .tart a terrible squeaking when they get on tnis six miles of track The noise comes from not only one car, out every locomotive, every coach and every car ot whatever kiuu sets up a grinding as if turning a curve. The noise is something liko the screaching of an ox cart that has no grease on it, and it is made by every truck in a train. Tho track is perfectly straight, and as there is no curve at all the cause of tho grinding and squeaking has mystified thu railroad people. hvery effort has been made to certain the cause of the difficulty. Tho locomotives have lieen examin ed, tho coaches and cars have been scrutinized, every cross tie and every rail has been inspected, every joint has been looked at and every foot of the track has been regaugcu, but no explanation could be found. Tho section master hss almost crawled over the 6ix miles on his knees in search of the cause, the road master has tried his best to ferret oui, tho matter, and the superintendent has been over the track and inspected it all of them making repeated efforts time and again to lind out what is the matter bnt they have given it tip as a Kid job. They have not only not been able to discover tho causo of tho noise, but have been nnabie to discover any theory to explain the mystery. It is one of the railroad mysteries ot the age, and has been going on for twenty years. During that time the crosstiea and rails have been re placed several times with new ones but without effect. Who can explain tho mystery ! Wilmitigton Messenger. The System Must Have Sleep. "Eminent authorities" and "ex pert testimony" have come to be so common that a live man will accept iheir theories and explanations only with a grain of salt. For instance, we DSed to read that excess of brain work, sitting np lato and worrying over business, or diinking, was the most prolific cause of insanity ; now we read frequently that insanity is mostly caused by early rising (which will be encouraging to many, uo doubt). Rut this is a serious matter. The supporters of this theory put forth first the statement that a large proportion of the inmates of asy lums for the insane are from the country, where early rising is the order. They go on to a'gue that sleep is mostly for the be'ietit of the nerves and the mind which is truo ; and that a person raised on the tarn is called from his res', too early, thus depriving him of the rest essential to the health of his nervous system. Rut this cannot hold, unless the subject goes to steep late, which is not frequently the rule iu tho country. Early rising and lato retiring will kill any av erage person. Ru this is r?ore often the rule with people in cities than in rural districts, so tho author ities argue. However they may have it, we may all learn the lesson that tho syetein mut have sleep, aud must have its full measure, it it is t) do its best service in the world ; and that the meaaure will deter mine itself, the subject is lelt to its inclinations when a child aud grow ing up.
