OUR NAVY AND GERMANY'S
A Comparison is Not at alt Unfav
orable |to Us.--Tlie Brook
lyn and Fuerst Bismarck
The London Spectator offers an en.
eouraging word, in the possibility Of
trouble with Germany, when it says:
“As for the German and American
navies, there can, of course, be bo com
parison. The Germans are fine sailor*,
and brave men, but the naval struggle
between the United States and Ger
many would be .very short and very
comlete ’’
Which is an emphatic wav of saying
that the Americans navy is much su
perior
We fyid, on examination, that this
opinion of the Spectator is amply
borne out by the facts. Germany has
31 armored ships, while the United
Slates has 33, the Ge'mans bring
armed with 422 gunp, while the
Americans have 6bl. We have 33
unarmtied cruistrs to their 32. ours
having 251 guns to their 46b. Cnly
in torpedo boats do they excel us, in
the ratio of 10 to 1, but there need be
no fear on that score, after the pres
ent practical demonstration that a
torpedc boat is no match for the most
insignificant cruiser whose guns are
well served. Asa general indication
of the strength, take the the total num
ber of guns in the navies. The Ger
mans have 1,232, the Araencans 1,-
610.
For an indication of the quality ot
the ships, compare mr armored cruis
er Brookiys with the Fuerat Bismark.
Both have about the same length and
beam, but the Btrraarck is 1,200 tons
heavier, though it'ias 4,700 leas horse
power. Consequently, the Brrooklyn
is swifter, making 21.9 knots to the
Bismarck’s 19. The nrmaments of
the two are probably about equal. But
the Brooklyn bus a coal capacity of 1.
750 tons, to the Bismack’s 1,000. The
last item, with the speed, settles the
question ot superiority in favor of the
United States ship.
If William wants to test his navy
let him doit.—St. Paul Dispatch.
Love and Marriage.
Girls generally imagine that it
there is love in marriage, all will be
well, and they can mold and fashii n
the dear one as they desire. They
see how anxious lovers are to please
theis lady lore, and they think it
will be thus all through life, but a
great mistake is made, for men will
do many things to obta : love that
they will not do to retain it. This
is a wrong principal, but it exists,
nevertheless; and girls should be very
careful that they do not do the same
things. Many serious mistakes are
made in regard to marriage, because
each party generally tries to appear
to the very best advantage when
keeping company, and they are des
irous to hide their fauls and weak
nesses; but it is not very long, in the
of home life, before the faults appear
and sometimes become as mountains
in the way of a pleasant and loving
married life. We can see how much
better it would be for all to act nat
urally, and not try to hide their nat
ural disposition.
About one month ago my child
which is fifteen months old, had an
attace of diarrhoea accompanieb by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for a physician and it was under his
care for a week. At this time tb
child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty
five operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were convinded
that unless it soon obtained relief it
would not live. Chamberlain’s Colic
Choi er and Diarrhoea Remedy was
recommended, and I decided to try
it. I soon noticed a change for the
better: by its continued use a com
plete cure was brought about and li
is now perfectly healthy.—C. L

Joint Allen’s Latest.
Hero, from the Congressional Re
ord, is an extract from a spec h de
livered in the of representative*
on June 9 by Private John Allen, of
Mississippi:
J“bave not th* same fear (of going
to war) that one old Confederate ex
pressed to a gentleman when writ
ing a letter not long ago. He wrot to
know if he was going to the war
The Confederate said no; he did
believe he would go. He had been
thinking of it right smart, and he
would not mind to go, but he did not
believe he would go. He said: ‘I was
talking to Tom Owen about it. and
Tom said he wouldn't mind to go,
and he tbonght he could make it all
right with the boys that were here
living, but he -said the thing that
troubled him wait, and he was think—
iog about it, tbatMt he was to wake
up at the day of judgement with a
blue uniform on, they would say :
“Deserted, damn him!”

Changed Mis Mind,
The Congregationalism as an illus
tration of the rapidity with which our
opinions on general questions, tells a
storj of a congressman who, in the
beginning of the Civil war, was fierce"
ly belligerent,
“This rebellion must be stamptd
quU No compromise with treason!”
he cried, frequently and loudly
With a crowd of spectato s he went
out from Washington to see the first
battle fought at Bull Run, cheering
the Union troops with shouts of:
“Stamp out the rebellion! No sur
render! Drive them to Richmond!”
But when the stampede came he
let the flight across the bridge, pant
ing for breath, his linen duster flapping
behind him. A zouave who followed
him he mistook for a Confederate and
doubled his speed. Suddenly he
tripped and ft 11 headlong, the zouave
on top of him.
“Quarter! quarter!” he shouted.

Tlic Place of Love.
Home is the place ot love, of rest,
of peace, the dearest spot on earth to
many a heart, with an influence
stronger than death, and binding us
with a spell that neither time nor
change can break. It is home that
molds and fashions individual life. A
loving and happy home sends out lov
ing, kind, considerate and wise chil
dren to bless other hearts and homes.
Just think what a sacred place is a
pare home. Husband and wife joined
in truest and purest love, find sweet
rest aDJ peace in that love; and the
children born of loviDg parents, par
take of that love and blend together
in sweet and loving union, while pa
rental love abounds, making it truly a
loving and lovely home, though it be
in the dreariest spot on earth; for the
beauty of homes does not depend
upon the outward appearance, bu t
upon the heart of home—tl e affec
tions.
Bicyclists, base nail and foot ball
teams will find Dr- Tichenor’s Anti'
septic the very thing they “need in
their business” when the race is ended
and the game is finished. P'or sore

A life mearl }■ or pleasure, or chiefly
