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.

V,.J Ot U» r-vf.-Chic^o Timea Strategy and Tactlea. 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 —these are the little drops of water that make the mighty ocean of battle and de termine victory or defeat.—United Ser vice. 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 sha u p. Wilder’s Book. - P»p«r Pencils. One of the difficulties which havo stood j n Hie way of the substitution of paper pulp for wood in the manufacture of pen cils has been the toughness of the paper covering, and its consequent resistance to the action of a knife. By a new pro cess which lias been patented, Urn mole cular cohesion of the paper is modified in 8Uch a manner that it can be cut as easi | y a* cedar wood. The paper »s first G f all made into tubes, and a quantity of them ar « placed in a frame at the lower end of a cylinder. The substance which j 8 to be used as a marking material is 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 ua ily dried at increasing temperatures during a period of six days, and they are then plunged into a vessel of molten para ffine wax, which lias the effect of modifying the texture of paper pulp as described. — Manufactures and trie8 . __________ __ t j time/ but ^ Tha at they * who criticise most are often cl . itk . iH111 h^d and og^ happiness may g0 ” t / Tbat t din)ni kk . k ,, r dfK>( , not al .

Have you riches? Hare you posts of profitable pe cuniary emolument? Let them be brought forward. They are mine.’* Fiction is alway* behind reality, and no fancied Micawber ever carried his effrontery so far as many instances, well authentic nted, in actual life. When, for instance, the Hungarian general, Klapka, had been invited by some agent of Mr. Seward’s to serve in our army during the civil war, he wrote to Gen. McClellan, giving his terms. Those terms were that he should be paid $100,000 in cash: that his annual salary should be $25,000; that ho should serve as Gen. McClellan’s chief of staff for a short time, until familiar with lan English, place and at the should head then of the take Amerioan McClel s army. There w»h nothing unexampled about this.

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. No Familiarity Intended. 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.

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.
