TV* Tatar* of Steam boating.
It is not easy to predict what is to be
the futurs of this great touting interest.
We have aver twenty thousand miles of
steam navigation, we have original and
enterprising boat builders, and an enor
inous travellng public. We have had
in the past a phenomenal fleet of steam
boats, particularly on our western rivers,
and yet the business has been greatly de
pressed. and there are fewer boats afloat
today than twenty years ago. Moreover
—and this is the most serious matter of
all—our canals are being abandoned year
by year. W hits Europe spends millions
on canals and waterways, while France
is trying to make every little stream
navigable, and England is trying to turn
tier interior cities into seaports, we per
mit our canals to fill up or foolishly give
them away to impecunious railroads for
road beds Is it wise? Are we safe in
trusting all our freight business to rail
road corporations? Today we can, if the
need come, send gunltonts inland from
the Delaware to New York bay. If we
permit frhe railroads to destroy the busi
ness of the canal Ixdween our ship y;irds
and our navy yards, we may be sure
that iu every European war office the
fact of our folly is carefully noted for
future reference. Once Ureat Britain
fought a great battle to destroy the
water route that connects the port of New
York with the back door of New Eng
land. Saratoga was fought to destroy
a vital water route. Fortunately, the
English generals who planned in London
thus to cut t.’.e country in two failed, and
yet today we are abandoning our canals
ami see our great internal steam naviga
Loti system decay without a thought of
the consequences.
! On the other hand—for there is a
j brighter side to every picture—there is a
dis]K>sition among the traveling public
I to demand larger, finer, and safer lioats
j e' English rt,r y'Yhere. tourists We who are visit being us how taught to see by
| our ory n country. .\ e may complacent
ly talk of our limited trains and all that,
foreigner who visits us asks first
of all for our stoumlioat routes, because
our lake, river, and sound boats are
known of all the world,—Charles Bcr
nard in Century.

A battle does not consist, as many im
agine, in a grand advance of victorious
lines of attack, sweeping everything be
fore them, or the helter-skelter flight of
the unfortunate defeated. The historian
must so present it in his descriptions,
the artist in his paintings. Even the
writer of an official account must limit
himself to the presentation of such mo
ments as demand special treat it. of
to such episodes as involve important
and Instructive tactical movements. All
those events which are less striking,
which pass more quietly, but which,
nevertheless, contribute to the Anal re
sult, cannot be reproduced without too
much expansion. Tlsose incidents which
no account of the battle, official or un
official, takes any note of, the thou
sand and one . vents observed only by the
participants, the innumerable cases iu
which the direction and control of af
fairs glide out of the hands of the officers

Mistaking a Royalty.
One night at a reception at Mrs. Ron
alds’ while I was perched upon a sofa
watching the brilliant assemblage, I fell
into conversation with a pleasant gentle
man seated beside me, who was very
curious about America and American
life. I told him a great deal about
America, and said that Americans in
England would not at once know how to
address people properly. "As for me,”
I said, "1 am as green as a gooseberry on
tbi* subject; even if I supposed you were
onH 0 f the nobility I should not know
bow to address you." A few moments
afterward Mrs. Ronalds said tome: "Mr.
Wilder, that's a good thing you've been
saying to the Duke of Teck; you've made
an impression upon bis highness.” I re
plied: “Why, I haven't met the Duke of
Tock; the only gentleman I've been talk
ing to is standing over there.” "Well,”
g^vs Mrs. Ronalds, "thqt is the Duke of
Te'ck." Gracious! I am a little enough
fellow by nature, but just then you
miR ht have put me in a pint cup.—Mar

One of the difficulties which havo stood
j n Hie way of the substitution of paper
pulp for wood in the manufacture of pen

to the action of a knife. By a new pro

placed in the cylinder while in a plastic
addition, and sufficient pressure is then
n pp| e d to force it into the hollow centers
0 f the paper tubes. After the comple
tion of the process the pencils are grad

during a period of six days, and they
are then plunged into a vessel of molten

Micawber ever carried his effrontery so
far as many instances, well authentic

the Hungarian general, Klapka, had been
invited by some agent of Mr. Seward’s

war, he wrote to Gen. McClellan, giving
his terms. Those terms were that he

about this. W’e meek and patient Ameri

into well bred company: on pronuncia

by orators who cannot even dispose of

Don't forget Your Opera Glasses.
In connection with the Portland \w»d
d * n li presents, a not unamusing story wa.%
current in London. A well known and
P°P» Iiir gentleman, on arriving at him
club from the theatre, discovered that
l ,ad unwittingly annexed a pair of
costly opera glasses in a dainty blue vel
vet case. He at once instructed the ball
porter to restore them to the owner, who
resided at a certain number in Grosvenor
crescent The servant, however, left
them h y mistake at the same number in
Lrosvenor place, where they were re
S arded in the light of a very handsome
and most appropriate wedding present,
The owner became uneasy, but the por
ter was sure lie bad made no mistake,
and the mystery remained unsolved un
til the lady in question accidentally saw
her glasses on the ledge of an ojiera box
occupied by a ducal party. Ah explana
tion then ensued, and the matter waa
amicably settled without the interven
tion of the lawyers.— London World.

An American visiting English clubs is
sure to lie surprised at the number of
titles he hears, Besides the nobility
nearly every one seems to have a special
bundle to his name. Colonels are not
quite ax numerous as iu Kentucky or
Georgia, but for captains and majors wo
can’t bold a candle to them. But it waa
reserved for me. an American, to "knock
them out” on rank in a most unexpected
manner. An old waiter—an ex-soldier—
at the Savage, called me Marshall several
times one evening, and was reprimanded
by one of the ttieiulters for addressing a
guest by bis first name. "His name I'
exclaimed the old fellow, looking aston
ished—and then turning said, "Why,
your honor. 1 thought marshal his.
rank I” General Grant prophesied that
1 should l>e a general, but the old waiter
went him one better, and the title stuck
to me for awhile, too.—Marshall R.
