simply the effect Of the cause. What that
cause is, and how it may be removed, is the
question upon which depends the hope of saving
the Navy, as firmly believe, from utter ruin
To my mind, it is very clear, and the remedy
is simple and obvious. The writer's upon this
subject have looked everywhere for the source
of the evil but right at their feet, where it lies
unno,iced. The difficulty is that the personnel
Of the Navy Is far too large, or else the mate
riei is far too small Want of employment is
at the bottom of all the rottenness in the
Navy. Idleness begets host of troublesome
off pring, and in an il Sitution like the Navy,
from the very necessity of the case, each one
is HYDRA headed. Mer whose wants arc cared
for by the Government, and who have little
else to do than to live i'll luxury and round

sort of life as necessary 10 their happiness, and
they regard the service emily as tie means to en-
able them to indulge in it. Hence there is al
most a universal scramble for self-aggrandize-
ment to get all that ley possibly can for as
little service rendered Us possible. There are,
to- be sure. some honorable exceptions to this
general rule but who is there that can deny
that the great mass of officers lead a lifSsoi

from thcn but they are words without mean
ing How few arc ready and willing to sink

service How can it be expected, under these
circumstances that there can exist that lofty
esprit Gn corps that is alb solutely essential to
the prosperity and efficiency of the Navy.
But, il may be said, it is easy to mime the
disease-bat what is the remedy 1t Is us SIM

ALmesr A RIOT An Irishman named OToule
died OF small pox in Maysville on Saturday and It
became understood that the corpse would be car

to the cemetery. The citizens determined that to
guard against the spread of the disease the corpse
should not be carried through the Streets but taken
Inc the. shortest route TO the place of burial. The
procession. and he promised to do what he could
The procession was formed, however, and started
towards the church. The Mayor (Casto) and health
officer OR. Sharp backed by some two hundred
nitlzens, nterposed and ordered the procession to
move towards the cemetery. Being dsobeyed,
they seized the horses of the hearse and turned
ther heads 10 the direction they had ordered. The
hearse driver made some demonstrations with his
whip, and four or five stones were thrown at him
by the crowd. The procession was forced out OF
town 10 the direction the officers had ordered and
although the prospect of general melee was very
threatening, there was no further breach of the
peace. When the procession was gone the Priest
Father McSweeney, exhorted all Of his flock who
had not gone with it, to 60 home, and the crowd
quietly dispersed.
