SAILORS DASorNe,--The swk
wardnes of Nautical men in the ySa
de Bal is proverbial. 1t is hardly
expected they should become at onc'
acquainted with the new figures Of tn,
dance-suddenly introduced in fash
ionable society. It is not 80 with thu
land service, the first and not unfre
quently the last thing taught at the
military academy-from West Point
up; is turn your toes out--bend
your legs and dance"
When this is learned the Cadet is
ready for field service, and he gener-
orally goes at once to work counting
the girls, and making conquests right
and left. Here's where the army has
the advantage ofthe navy.
We find in an exchange the follow
ing advice to nautical men, in refer
ence to the most fashionable dances.
We reproduce it that they may study
to be accomplished
La Aslkp1on.-Haul upon the
STAFFORD track and let the other craft
pass-aud then bear up and get your
head on the other track-regain your
birth on the port trach-back fill, with
your partner and box haul her-wear
round twice against the sun in COM
pany with the opposite craft, then
your own-afterwards box haul again
and bring her up again.
L'Ete.-Shoot ahead about two
fathoms till you nearly. come sten on
the other craft under weigh, then
make stern board to your birth and
side out for bend, first to STAFFORD
then to port-make sail and pass the
crah-get our head round on
the other track-another side to star
board and port-then make sale to
regain your birth-wear round, beck
and filf aud box-haul your partner.
La Poule.-Heave ahead and pass
your adversary yard-arm to yard-arm
regain your birth on the same track
IN the same order-take your station
q line with your partner-back and
ill-fall on your heel and bring up
FOUR partner-she then manouvers
head and falls back, fills shoots ahead
gain and pays off alongside-you
hen make in company, till nearly
tenn with the other line-make a
tern board and cast her off to shift
Or herself-regain your berth in the
'est means possible, and let 60 your

that our agents and Minister'S, may Dc
as they may, when abroad in official
capacity-they think that every. thing
il due from others, and that we in re-
turn may treat their laws. with sover-
eign contempt This is certainly q
very fallacious and q very dangerous
notion. It will do with . weak CONT
guous power, but the same dogmati-
cal bull-logism, b unfit for foreign
uae. 1898 .".A
Notoriety seeking, seems to be the
sole object Of many Of our foreign
minister-their soups, and secretaries.
To such an extent il this conduct be-
ing carried, that no breach Of Nation
a courtesy and respect on the part Of
our people abroad, shocks rs.
Each petty officer on merchantmen
from the Captain down to the Cabin
boy, seem to DO on the lookout for
IN opportunity to straighten himself
out at full length, and proclaim the
fact that all foreigners may tremble
in their boots, VI am an American
citizen"
The latest thing in this line, is a
refusal Of nothing less than q Com
modore-a living Commodore in com.
mand Of home Squadron, to salute
the Spanish flag At Havana because
he said the editor Of the'official Gazette
spoke unexpectedly ofthe U. s. Pres

institutions" As One Of the People
would say "the cheapness Of slave Ia
bor," and the consequent degradation
of all manner Of honest industry on
the part Of the white population. But
there is no man mad enough to sup
pose that bis state Of society can exist
always; and the opening Of every new
road is another step towards, . new
and better condition. Thus it Is, that
the principal argument against rail-
road enterprise kills itself. May We
in all courtesy ask lone Of the People"
if he would reduce the matter to mere
dollars, and deprive it Of every other
consideration? Are not the social,
and commercial advantages worth
something? They are; sufficient. to
justify the building Of roads in all d.
rections Upon his deductions the
Telegraph should be abolished because
it interferes with the revenue of the
Post Office. This is narrowing utilit-
arianism down to its last limit. The
