The extraordinary passage recently made by the steamship Oregon from Queenstown to New York scores the highest rate of speed ever accom plished across the Atlantic. A voy age of nearly 3,000 miles in G days, 9 hours and 22 minutes may well be ex ulted over by every lover of progress as a triumph in steam navij-atiou that gives the Ureyon the claim of having carried off from all competitors the blue pennant of the Atlantic occau. In the history of the nineteenth cen tury mechanical appliances to loco motion by laud and sea afford mate rial for the most sensational chapterH, but decidedly the strides made in the design and finish of ocean palaces leave in distance the greatest feats connected with railway construction. Some are yet living who recollect well the great excitement among ship owners and seafaring men when the startling news was heard of a steam er havint: performed the voyage across the Atlantic in 26 days. This steam er's carrying capacity was only 350 tons, and the engine power was equal to that of 150 horses. She left Savan nah on the 26th of May, 1819, and arrived at Liverpool at noon on the 20th of June. The "run' was not looked upon with any degree of favor by maritime men, the "crack" sailing vessels of the day, famed as Liver pool liners, having frequently during the summer months crossed over in much less time. Engine power was very limited in the early days of steamship construction. In April, 1838, the steamship Sirius left Cork for New York, and after a run of 18 days landed her passengers in the commercial metropolis, thus gaining for her owners the honor of having made the first transatlantic voyage from Ireland to America. The popular and well-known ship built at Bristol, England, and known as the Ureat Western, left that port four days after the Sirius sailed from Coik, and in the evening of April 22 reached New York, and was greeted by thousands of the populace. The great success of the Cunard line stirred up on both side3 of the Atlan tic a consiucraote spirn oi compe tition, the late E. K. Collins of New York, taking the lead. That enter prising ship owner at once declared he would build a steamer capable of makintr the nassape between Nmr York and Liverpool in ten days, a feat at that period supposed to be be yond possibility. The last and fleet est of the Collins line, the Adriatic performed the voyage between Gal way, Ireland, and New York in some thing under nine days. A still more remarkable feat was accomplished by this steamer. Capt Geo. Nicholson, who commanded the Adriatic during the short term of the Galway line of transatlantic steam navigation, made the voyage from Galway to St. Johns, N. F., a distance of 1,660 miles, in a few hours over four days, the shortest run ever made between the old world and the new. Mr. Collins effected many imjirovements in ship-building. Ho had his vessels constructed with flat instead of sharp floors and intro duced several changes and improve ments in spars and rigging, which are still in vogue, but the most effoctive of his novelties was the augmentation of the driving power of his fleet. "While referring to the wonderful improvement in the remodeling of ships hulls, the masting and sail rig, the most valuable of all the advan tages conferred on ocean travelers has been the increase of propulsive power. The Cunard steamer Asia, built in 1850, was 2,220 tons and 750 horse power, and the Oreat Britain, of 3,110 tons, had been fitted up with 1,000 power engines. Average voy ages across the Atlantic in those days were rarely under twelve days, but progress in engineering art brought about great changes. In July, 1863, the Cunard steamer Scotia steamed from Liverpool to New York in 9 days 2 hours. The Inman line, City of Brussels, in December, 1867, made the voyage from Sandy Hook to Queenstown in 7 days 22 hours. Other lines of Atlantic steamers shared the success, the White Star liners taking a high place in rapid pas sages. The "Greyhound of the At lantic," as the AlasTia of the Guion line has been called, is of 10,000 tons burden and 10,000 horse power, and astonished the maritime world by a voyage of 6 days and 20 hours! Still, great as was that triumph of speed, it has been exceeded by a recent voy age of the Oregon, lately purchased from the Guion by the Cunard com pany. The record which she beat was her own of 6 days 10 hours and 10 minutes. The Oregon left Queens town at four o'clock Sunday after noon, August 17tb, and was sighted off Sandy Hook at nine o'clock p. h. Saturday, the 23d, making her time 6 days 9 hours and 22 minutes, where she got the flood tide over the bar and came to quarantine, where she lay over night. Her passengers, who attended church in Queenstown the morning of the day she sailed were in time to attend services on the morning of the following Sundav in New York city. Aay Man nho has a Dollar.

New York, Sept. 17. --The Sim says, concerning the Times', J'ost's and other independent papers' persis tent charge that Blaine suppressed the Oct. 21th letter: "Blaine said he conld not find it. Why he failed to find it is now apparent. It was still m the posses'ioit of Mulligan and Fisher. It never passed into Blaine's hands. He told the truth about it. He told the truth when he assured the house that his exhibit covered even scrap and scrimplion that came from Mulligan. We are interested to see whether the newspapers, which have urged against Blaine this special act of dishonesty, will retract it and ap pologize. They owe him and them selves a frank and manly admission of error." the "times' " Position on the subject: -The let ter of the 21thof October is given. The Times has declined to believe that Blaine told the truth when he said that the letter was not in the package. It has before taken the pains to get the truth from trust worthy sources ;jjLt learns that James Mulligan privately declares that the letter of the 21tli was in the package taken from at 'fhe Biggs house by Blaine, and thatthe letter now print ed is from a letter-press copy. As be tween a man of linimpeached veracity like Mulligan and a proved falsifier like Blaine, the jjword of the former must stand." Tho following? is also from the Times: "If thejjeitizens have read and rightly understood the corres pondence of Blaine and Fisher they will not allow Blaine to appear before them to-morrow, without giving him unmistakable evidence that they de spise a man wlio is untruthful and dishonest." 'j MULIilGAK IiBTTEB NOTES. New York, Sep. 17. It has been learned that an elaborate explanation of Blaine's transactions with Warren Fisher is to be prepared for the pub lic within a few days. To this end eminent legal talent has been era-! ployed to prepareji clover anil sue-' cinct presentation t)f Blaine's side of the case. Ex-Senator McDonald of Arkansas is contributing to the de fense by giving facfe within his knowl edge, which it is "said will put a dif ferent construction; upon the matter from warren l'isners views. The World to-day has a triple sheet, rendered necessary by the mul titude of allegeci exlraota from Blaine's 'etter, printed promiscuously over and over again'in the paper, ad vertising and news;columns. FROM THE BOSTON "JOURNAIi." Boston, Sept 17. The Journal editorial, double leaded, says: "Since Fisher publishes his own personal letters why does he not publish one written by him to Blaine, soliciting a foreign appointment? Information that such a letter is in existence does not come from Blaine, but that such a letter exists there can be no ques tion. When published it will give a problem the solution of which will be of great interest to the public Will Fisher favor us with a copy of his letter';" The Journal also prints a state ment from Paul West, a well known lawyer here, defailing a conversation with Mulligan, soon after the Mulli gan letters appeared, in which the latter declared he didnot consider Blaine corrupt, nor did ho oven sell his vote in a way to favor legislation that did not commend itself on its merits. "Well then,' I said to Mr. Mulli gan, 'what doc3 all this amount to?' Mulligan replied: 'It just amounts to this that Blaine is a very able man; that while he was in congress he saw somo measures going through in which he took and made some money for himself, but as for saying that he was ever bribed or corrupted I would not say that He improved his oppor tunity to use knowledge he got to make good investments and was for tunate in them. That is about all I would say.' E. B. Callendar of this city writes also, confirming the above statement. rniijAPriX.piiiA "times." PpirjADEWAiA, Sept. 17. The Times fanti-Blaine), hitherto silent about the letters, says: "The new batch of Mulligan letters present nothing new in Blaine's record. They mako no new assault on his public integrity, and introduce no newissno into the national contest" The Times says of the whole Mulligan series: "They do not prove that Blaine stole anything. They do not establish the fact that he cheated anybody. They do not stamp him as a venal legisla tor, but they do conclusively present him as tho leading representative of a licentious, speculative and profligate political system." Brousht n Retraction. New Yoke, Sept 17. A special to the World from Ironton, Ohio, says: Allen O. Myers made a political speech Saturday night, in which he said that A. D. Tomlinson, editor of the Busy Bee, a paper printed here, had a negro brother. Tomlinson was absent at the time, but the news was carried to him. He sent word yester day demanding a retraction of such remarks as had referenco to his mother. No answer came, whereupon Tomlinson brought Myers to bay at his hotel at dinner. "Do you know my mother?' asked Tomlinson, at the same time display ing a revolver and advising bystand ers to keep their distance. "No," answered Myers. , "Then stand up and hold up your right hand," thundered Tomlinson. Myers obeyed. . "Now," added Tomlinson, savagely, while covering Myers with his re volver, "swear by the Eternal God that what you said in your speech about my mother was a lie, and that you knew it -was a lie. Swear three times." Myers obeyed, and Tomlinson walked away. Tomlinson's father was killed at Kyley early in tho war, and his mother still lives there. THE GREAT GERMAN REMEDY FOB PAIN.
