WHAT'S IN A ANAMEq

1he taste displayed in the names o;ven to
ships of war by some foreign nations. seem.
to Americans very curious, and to border nm
the irreverant and profane The Spapiaras
are noted for bestowing the names of sacred
personages upon vessels in their navy. In
looking over the names of the Russian ves
sells, we find that they are not much behind
the Spaniards. There are, for example, two
ships OF the line, each of 12o guns, one called
ne lwetre APOSTLES" and the other "The
Three SAINTS
1t may be doubted whether the Twelve
apostles feel much complimented by this ex-
hbltion of naval admiration Of"The Three
SAINTS" we know nothing, never having
heard of those gentlemen before. They may
have belonged to that large and fashionable
class of Saints, who, though ardent devotees
of Christianity,l interpret all its lessons of
peace and forgiveness in fgurative instead
OF literal sense; who pray that Heaven will
forgive them as they forgive their enemies,
and then get up and fight, worry and devour
their fellow beings in SANDER, law suits,
duels and wars, without the slightest degree
OF compunction, then go down upon
their marrow bones again, and thank Heaven
that it has given them victory. "Let God
arise, and let His enemies be scattered" ex-
claimed Nicholas, who seems to be as familiar
with Scripture as his illustrious prototype and
namesake. If the "Ihree Saints belonged
to the order of religious of which the Gear is
the representative, the calling ship by their
name is highly appropriate tribute to their
character and memory
But the ''Tmelre Apostles" were different
kind of Christians. Those poor, prosecuted,
patient men, who carried out literally, the
precepts of the Prince of Peace; who were so
forgiving that when smitten on one cheek
they turned the other, yet so brave that they
gladly welcomed the stake and the cross ra-
ther than relinquish their faith; how would
they open.their eyes with astonishment to be-
hold huge engine of war and despotism
named after them : What kind of Christian
ity, they might ask, is that which shows it.
self by calling man. of-war "The Twelve
Apostles 2" However, all that is in keeping
with the war itself, which is in its origin and
in its motives, with at least three of the par
ties to it, a religious war, quarrel in which
on both sides the banner of the Cross will be
unfurled and the depravity of man desecrate
to work of demons, the holiest symbol of
the Christian faith
In the names of his vessels, as in everything
else Nicholas is too grasping. He ought to
have allowed the other side at least six apos-
ties. He is ungrateful as well as monopoli-
zing, for in looking over the list of his squad
rons, we do not find so much as a gunboat
named after that other Nicholas, who has had
more to do in getting up military demonstra-
ton than all the Twelve Apostles put to-
gether

AccIDENT.-On Thursday morning last, fearful
accident occurred at the sugar refinery of Peter
Moler & Co., in New York. 1t appears that four
men, named Frederick Noyman, John Pearl, John
Staubury, and Augustus Doorman, all Germans
were engaged in hoistng sugar into the 9th story of
the warehouse they at the time standing on
platfor ediately over the hatchway
of the 4th story While thus engaged the fastening
of the platform gave way and precipitated them to
the lower floor, distance of about 40 feet instant
ly killing Noyma, and fearfully injurng the other
three, one of whom, it was thought, would not long
survive his injuries.
