NAVY ACCOMPLISHMENTS DoBBIN. Surgeon Will
liam Whelan United States Navy, has received the
appointment of chief of the medical bureau. Dr.
Whean will bring to the discharge of the important
duties entrusted tohim high professional attainments
long experience, thorough knowledge of the wants
and requirements of the SERVICE and analytical
mind, prompt to observe abuses, and entirely capa-
citated to suggest radical and efficient remedies. The
Secretary of the Navy, in selecting this distinguished
medical officer to preside this bureau has gwen
earnest of the important reforms which will fol-
low his administration of that department.. The in
fusion of that kind of vigor and intellect in the
eral naval bureaux is required to give force and eff
feet to the commendable efforts which Mr. Dobbin is
making to place our navy in that position which is
demanded by the country and which is essential to
the protection of American commerce and American
rights We have to believe that the present
head of the department is fully up to the times and
that his first report will present suggestions dictated
by perfect study of the existing SYSTEM and based
upon policy liberal and efficient He is of the pro-
gressive school, and will disregard the old prejudices
which have chung to the navy for many years to
its great injury, and in the spirit of modern inte
gence and civilization will propose reforms at once
military and humane, combining war-lille efficiency
with proper and regard for all the personnel If
Congress will but second his efforts we predict that
Mr.. Dobbin will make the navy what it should be-
the right arm of our Defence with ships eeter than
the hectest, manned by men who will defend flag
not from fear of the LASH but for love of the country
in whose service they may be engaged.

THE FAMILY OPPOSED TO NEWSPAPERS. The man
who don't take the county paper was in town yestcr
day. He brought the whole family in two horse
wagon. He still believed that Gen. Taylor was Pres
ident, and wanted to know if the &C Kamschatkians
had taken Cuba, and So achere they had taken it.
He had sold his for twenty-five cents-the price
being thirty one-but upon going to deposit his mon
hard money he had was some three cent pieces, and
these sharper had run on him " for half
dimes His old lady smoked cob pipe" and
would not believe that anything else could be usd.
One of the boys went to blacksmths shop to be
measured for pair of shoes, and another mistook
the market-house for church. After hanging his
hat on meat hook, he piously took seat on butch
to be the preacher. He left before the "meetin'
out" and had great opinion of the "sarmint."
One of the girls took lot of seed onions to the
post Office to trade them for letter. She had the
baby which she carried in q ssugar trough" stop
ping at times to rock it on the side walk. When it
cried she stuffed its mouth with an old stocking, and
sung ]" Barbary Allen"
The oldest boy had sold two "coon SKINS" and
was on bust" When last seen he had called fora
glass of ''sody and water,' and stood soaking ging
erbread and making wry faces The shop keeper
installing his meaning, had given him a mixture of
sal-soda and it tasted strongly of soap But he had
hearn tell of sody and water and was bouni to give
it fair trial, puke no puke" Some town fel-
low" came in and called for a lemonade with fly
in it, Whereupon our soaped friend turned his
back and quietly wiped several flies into his drink
We approached the old gentleman and tried to get
him to subscribe, but he would not listen to it
He was opposed to internal improvements" and he
thought larnn was wicked wexation.n None of
his family ever learned to read but boy, and he
teached school awhile, and then went studyin' di-

The "MIRRoR" is noticing the rapid increase of
magnificent hotels in this city. Broadway, we arc
told is getting to be little else than vast series of
hotels, with basement accommodations for shopping,
shaving and bathing-from the Bowling Green to
the Crystal Palace, and full and oyerhowing.
The Editor mysteriously adds:
1t is said there two three eligbly situated
hotels, whose proprietors are always short" and
yet their houses are always full The mystery, we
suppose, may be explained by one word-misman-
agement. Some landlords gamble away theirprofts;
some drink them UP others waste their distance
on fast horses and fast women. But still, we think
no one viii deny the statement that there is at this
time:no business in New York SO profitable and SO
sure as Hotel keeping. -
