TmE NAVAL SCHOOL for boys at Brooklyn
is said to be fulfilling the highest expectation
Of lis friends. The discipline and instruction
is such us to inspire the pupils with high
self respect, while they are instructed in all
The branches of science and art, which per-
tain to good scamanship. The U. S. sloop
Of war, ST. Louis, Capt. French Forrest, now
ready for n cruise to the Pacific, has been
rugged entirely by the apprentice boys under
the direction Of Capt. II. w. Ogden, of the
Hudson Friga,c, and the lst Lieut.. J. Hard
ing Marshall. 1t is said that the blocks are
strapped, and the rigging set up in a style
werthy of old tars.
There arc about 100000 scamcn in the U.
s. and of this number great majority are
foreigners. The plan of school SHIPS, # car
ricd OUT would probably train up an adequate
body OF American scamcn.

SABBATH SCHOOL JUBILEE New YORK
London, June l2, 1889.


The most interesting and pleasing Of the
incidents of the 4lI, was the "Patriotic Fes.
tival" of the Sabbath Schools of this city held
at Staten Island. And glorious incident,
too, will il ever be, in the history of these u.
States. Who would credit the asscrtioDthat
$4,000 belonging 10 Sabbath Schools in this
city, met at the rendezvous on the island p
Accompanied by delegations from some Of
the neighboring towns, and with the schools
of the island, amounting in all, to about 10.
600. TO accommodate tins Lilputian army
the following provision was made, viz:
4 Steamboats, a; . Iovboats, Averaging 400
tons each 2300 lbs of cornedbeeG boiied 200
neais' tongues 6 pigs roasted whOie; 23OO
ioares of brcnd 20 Jtls sugar and Cuttu
crackers; 40 hhds pure tcater.
| The Sabbath Schools assembled at an car
ly hour at their respective places of meeting;
as soon as organized, they proceeded to the
places of embarkatlon, VIZ: foot oi Hubert
street, on the North River side, and foot of
Pike street, East River. At the momch,
the boats left the wharf, "llall Columbia,
happy land" burst forth simultaneously from
many thousand voices. The effect was en-
chanting; and glorious sight were those
splendid steamers and barges SO tastetulIy
WIN ''''S'r ""'
the children all dccked in holiday attire, look
ing so Joyous in anticipation Of their delight
tul exercises.
When the song was ended, and all was
hushCd, and The voice of prayer was heard
in each boat---the Jubilee hymn was then
sung and rcciiatioDs by young orators, with
odcs prepared for the occasion, occupied the
remainder of the tine, I the boats reached
the island. A more exciting scene can hard
ly be imagined, than that presented by the
Decentralization Of SO many thousands; and
the ailcrwindng among the green hills of
Staten TO the rendezvous, amidst the waving
of banners and bursts Of music.
In the midst Of the woods was rnlscd
large tent, where the President Of the United
States and Governor Seward were received,
with the officers appointed for the occasion.
Other large tents were erected around this
principal one, and when all were seated, dIn-
ner wns served up, if we may so express it.
Rccitalions, Singing ,Salulatory Speeches by
the youth, aud music by the two bands, occu-
pied the time till three o'clock, when all
re-cmbarked for home. A short excursion
was made down the bay; saluies were fred
from ships at anchor, and returned by dcaien-
ing .'hurrah," from the bargcs. A more
enllvening scene was never Witnessed
About six O'Clock the Sabbath schools dis
embarked in safety at New York not one
accident having happened among the con-
grcgatlng Of SO many thousands.

ACCIDENT UN BOARD THE SAMsON-As
the steamboat Samson was coming up yes
tcrday afternoon from Staten Island, when
off Robbins Reef, her prone made deck gave
way, being too weak TO bear the weight of so
many persons as were upon it. The passcn-
gers beneath it were more or less injured,
and Mrs. Miles, an elderly Scotch lady,
and Mr.. Joseph Chambers, a grocer, were
killed.
Mr.. Moses TTenrqucs, broker Of Wall.st
and David f. Patton, were very badly Injured
The former is not expected to recover, but
was not dead at ] | O'clock to-day.
We are requested TO state that Mr.. Angus
tus w. Vaupcll was not one Of the persons
wounded on board the Samson, as is stated
III one Of tho morning extras. IIo was not
even on board the boat.
Mrs. Miles, one of the killed, had engaged
her passage for Liverpool by the packet of
tomorrow.
The agents Of the steamboat at Staten Is
land requested the people not to- crowd the
boat, but without avail. The pressure was
so great that the gates were carried away
and all who were so minded rushed on board
The Samson is new boat, only about Il
months old, and very strongly built.

Mr.. BELLOWS LEcTURE.-Wc were
sorry that the Lecture given by Mr..
Bellows OH Female Education, at Armo-
ry Hall, Monday evening, was so spar
ingly attended. No one could have
heard it without being charmed, in
structed and improved. We were par
ticularly sorry to see SO very few parents
there. The importance of the subject
cannot be ovcrstatcd. AS to Mr.. Bel
lows qualifications for treating it thco-
retically and practically, another op-
Iportunity will be given soon, for all
who care about the subject to Judge for
themselves. lie will, it is trusted, re-
peat his Lecture OH Sunday evening,
and he has announced, also, one on the
Education Of Boys. Mr.. Bellows is
certainly ono of the most interesting
and inspiring Lecturers we ever heard.
lie is perfectly free and familiar, yet
manly and digniticd. His onunciation
is clear, beautiful, and natural. His
illustrations are exceedingly happy
and his thoughts on the subject of Edu-
cation seem to us sound and timely
We were particularly interested in his
remarks upon the Importance of the Sc
ycrcr studies, such as Mathematics, to
girls. lie pointed out, very truly, the
conncxion between the strengthening
Of the mind, and the formation of moral
character. The object Of Education,
in his view, is to teach the young to
think.
We cannot but express the earnest
hope that Mr.. Bellows will, when he
speaks again, have an opportunity TO
make very generally known his views
and plans. lie comes, we understand,
with desire and intention, if he can
be supported, ofsettling here asa Teach
or. lie has had much experience in
teaching at Taunton, New York, and
other places. OF his power to interest
the young-makc them open their eyes
to the beauties and wonders of Nature
and help build up virtuous principle
in their hearts, wo do not hesitate to-
speak with all confidence. Will not all
who feel any concern for the good and
great cause Of training the young in
wisdom and virtue, give more than a
passing notice to these suggestions

II is known that my name has been pre-
scnted to the public, by meeting of Mem

it has been expected thut Convention would

posed of Delegates from the several States,
have hitherto thought proper not to anlici-
pate, in any way, the result Of that Conven-
ton. But am now out of the country, not
TO return probably, much earlier, than The
period fixed for the meeting Of the Conven-
ton, and do not know what events may oc-
cur, in the meantime, which, if ] were at

from me. ] desire, moreover, TO act no part,
which may tend TO prevent a cordial and cf-
fcctve union among those, whose object,
trust, is to maintain, Unimpaired, the Con-
stitution of the country, and TO uphold all its
great interests, by wise, prudent aud patri-

FOR THE IOWA PATRIOT.

Mr. EDlToR--I have observed of late
some remarks in your paper relative to
the selection of names for towns. 1t GER
tainly is matter deserving some consid-
Grafton in new country like this. The
fact, that the new settlers are in the con-
slant habit Of transporting with them the
names of counties and towns from other
states, is certainly no very fattering CON-
pliment to their talents for invention; to
say nothing Of the inconvenience, which
often results from the practice.
The remarks, to which have alluded,
brought to my recollection plan to OBJ
viate the evil complained Of which | saw
several years ago in some newspaper.
The plan, so far as / can recollect, was
simply this. Write down all the letters
Of the alphabet, each letter in order, on
a separate piece Of paper. Mix these sew

eral pieces of paper together; then d,,.
out from them indiscriminately such
number, as may be requisite to form
word. Let that word be the name .of J,
town Or county to which you wish !
give name. Should the first word fo,.
ed in this manner not be agreeable !,
sound or easy of pronunciation Won. =.
in the same manner select another AM
another, until you hit upon one, that MN
be agreeable.
This plan is original, and will ens,.,
to us quite as agreeable names, as ,bo,
now in common use. The followinu !.
names selected according to the plan :
bove suggested, viz: Agglos, Cost,
Mystorf, sydenlaw. They are not !.
nifcant, it is true; but they may Law IN,
as much claim to signiicancy and eun L,
ny, as Burlington, Boston, Taunto,
Trenton, and hundred others in uss,
This plan, if adopted, would freq :,

more than one town or county or !,

positions, in which the twenty six letts,
Of the alphabet are capable of being pla,
I ed, is inconeeivably great. It is no ,.,.
a number than is expressed BY the ii.
/ lowing figures, viz:

of course, then, many millions Of mama,
