If you know one young man in the
United btates you know them all. The/
resemble each other with curious fidelity
in dress, manner, and appearance. Tliefr
very thoughts, racy and original ns they
urc. run in the same groove, and they give
expression to them in the same crystalizcd
forms of speech. This iron rule does not
prevail to nearly so great an extent in
t uuada, hut It exists with sufficient force
to make the independence of the Individ
uni Englishman marked even to a Cana
diun. The old Indian generals who affect
eastern modes of life in misty England,
the retired sea captains whose talk is ever
hi nautical phrases of nautical mutters,
and other riders of hobbies innumerable,
who have furnished materials to many
authors, and amusement to many genera
tions of readers, abound in England uni*
he p to render the lund picturesque and at
ti active.
All these harmless and amusing cccen
tricities are almost tuled down into a dead
level of monotonous uniformity in the
r.cw world. 1 crimps I should except New
York from tl.ts general statement. This,
the giea est <ity in Ametica. is the most
c sinop< litan In its cbi;ru(ter. Men of u.i
nationalities go to make up its vast popu
lation; it is less distinctly American than
Philadelphia or 1’oston. Its young men,
whether intentionally or not. closely re
semble y. ting l nglishmen; Indeed, all
classes exhibit their own peculiarities un
iut.uenccd by the repressing tyranuy ol
general habits or opinions.
Paper JVIeu-or- War,
(American Queen.]
A correspondent gives us the following
interesting item: Already there are actu
ally in existence paper uieu-of-wur of
enormous tonnage. A few years ago I was
on Loatd the llritish man-of-war, the
Huleigh, which was then cruisiug in East
Indian waters. Pointing to the substantial
looking wooden wulls of the vessel, a mid
shipman one day asked me if I knew what
those- were made of. 1 answered tbatprob-
ably they were made of teak or oak. and
was considerably surprised when he
iaughed and told me 1 was all at sea in
more senses than one. “The hull e/ the
l.nlciffh," he said, “is really paper hy
draulically pressed. Paper walls in place
of the famous wooden walls of England
that the poets s<ng about, were adopted by
the admiralty a few years ago as an experi
ment on a few mcn-of-war. This in one
of them that you urc now sailing iu through
the Indian ocean. ”
The paper-hull Idea ns applied to men-cf
war. Is a good one, at least in theory. In
the old wooden and iron ships the men
were more exposed todnugor from splinters
tuan direct mUsiles. Now, paper hulls
would at least do away with splintering.
A shot might hit a vessel and pass right
through i:s side, hut the hole would be u
clean one, and there would In* uo spliuters
until the missile encountered some of the
internal machinery or compartments. I do
not know whether the English government
has Imilt many of these siugulur paper
boats, but it had one of them, at least, in
the shape of the Huleigh.
