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 Boggs, Stumptowv. Gi'mer Co - ? W Va. For sale by R. T.

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!” GRAND JURORS DRAWN FOR SEPTEMBER TERM, 1898. 1.

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.
