Iron clad shlps Of war.

The military master-spirits of Europe ap-
pear to have become fully convinced that
iron or steel.clad vessels. of war are hereai-
ter TO decide the moment0us question ofna-
val supremacy. Wooden ships are no match
for the rifle cannons of modern warfare, and
nations that desire to maintain a military
position ON the ocean must build their float
ing castles OF sterner stuff than timber and
plank. AS we'll depend on wooden forts as
on wooden vessels. Either must prove q
charnel house for their brave defenders.
The easy destruction Of formidably Brit
ish man Of war which grounded near Odessa
during the Crimean war, by few light
shells aud bot shot from a sheltered Russian
battery, opened the eyes of British naval
officers and the British nation to the start
ling truth that their b0asted "wooden walls''
were no longer safe. But John Bull. ex.
hibiting his usual inertia, was slow to seek
remedy for the serious weakness thus de-
veloped in the right arm of his power.
Louis Napoleon, however, fully cOmpre-
hending the great consequences that hinged
on this demonstration, with bis wonted sa-
gaclty and energy, Immediately set to work
to restore war vessels to their former rank
as offensive agents. One year later be con-
fronted the fortress Of Kinburn with three
lron-clad ships, which captured the strong
hold after short action and without suffer-
ing any other damage than the starting of
three rivets! The shot of the enemy made
no more suppression than hail upon their
metallic assaiants. AS consequence,
France has ceased building wooden ships,
and is directing all her energies 10 the con-
structipn Of steel-plated frigates, Of which
u Is said she will have nineteen aHoat the
coming summer. England lags, aud has
one launched aud only six on the stock.
Austria has two building at Trieste, aud
Russia one on the Thames.
According 10 the expectations OF naval
authorities, these vessels will be terrible
engines OF destruction. Impervious TO shot
or shell, one of them could encounter feet
of wooden frigates with as much impunity
as q seventy-four would acet Of South
Sea canoes, while the frigates would be
quite as certain of destruction as the latter.
Not only this, no land fertilization, itissup
posed, could deter them from entering anv
seaport or fortified place their commanders
might choose to visit Indeed they seem
TO be invulnerable, and at the same time
capable Of infcting terrible punishment up-
on an enemy. Their cost, however. is enor-
nous; and II is sad to think of the immense
sums that will be wrung from the toiling
millions OF Europe during the next decade
to enable its warlike powers TO reconstruct
their navles. The military expenditure in
England alone the last year was SI33.5O7.,
600. Should England become involved in
European war, of course this enormous
expenditure would be greatly increased.
and the money that should he expended I'M
improving the homes, increasing the com.
forts aud advancing the education Of the
masses, will be squandered in the brutal ne
eessities Of war, while the people must wait
and suffer- Boston Journal.

FOREIGNERS IN RUssTA.--The following
letter, describing the new privileges con.
ferred by the present Emperor of Russia on
foreigners established in that country. Is
dated al ~. Petersburg, Feb. is: "Hitb-
erto foreigners have lived In Russia in a
false position, In consequence of their priv.
leges not being clearly defined. They
were consequently unable TO acquire any
large fortunes, although agriculture and
manufactures are making great progress
among US. They lived, 1t may be said
from day TO day, and had great difficulty i1
gaining admission into Russian society.
The present Emperor, with bis usual solici.
tnde for the welfare of his subjects. has IN.
troduced most important reforms with re.
spect TO foreigners residing in Russia.
Formerly foreigner resident In Russia
could not acquire any landed propertv.
without first obtaining title of nobility
which was very difficult. A foreign mann.
iactnrer possessing any description OF es.
tabllshment was forced TO enrol his mama
for ten years Ia one of the three onilds az
merchants He might then purc6ase and
possess certain extent Of ground. At the
expiration OF that period be was forced to
sen Dis ground and bis mandatory If he
aid not consent TO become a natnralized
kusslan. Foreigners, moreover, were re.
strleIed s from trading in certain articles.
Iney could not trade by wholesale except
WIN Russian merchants belonging to the
guilds. All these regulations have been
abolished by command Of the Emperor.
Foreigners may henceforth enter freely in
70 commercial corporations on an equality

and privileges of Russian mercbants.v

AN OFFsET.-Numerous instances where
women have been preserved from drowning
by their hoop skirts have been adduced as
evidence of their value. An offset to this
appears to be found in late distressing
case Of death resulting to lady ia Bath,
Me-. in consequence of her clothes taking
FIRE. They might have saved her life by
wrapping her in floor-rugs but tae stubborn
steel springs prevented, and the poor lady
was burned to death.

A FINANCIAL TRANsAcTIoN.-The San An
tonic (Texas) Express gives an account Of
the wey in which the secession managers OF
that State raised a nice little sum OF
money;
A short time since Major Mucklin, Uni.
ted States Paymaster. sent in his resigna-
tiOn and took a commission under the Com
missiODers. This gentleman dispatched Lieu
tenant Thomas Jones to New Orleans for
money there on deposit in his name. While
in New Orleans Lieutenant Jones also &C.
cepted service in the Southern army, but
proceeded to bring out the money-arrived
in our city on Saturday night last, aud de-
livered the money 70 Colonel Mackin, OF
the Texas army (once Major in the United
States service). The Commissioners, OF
course, being fully apprised Of the fact,
early upon the Lords day infested the resi-
dence of the innocent and unsuspect-
ing Colonel with a formidable armed body
of men Gan unnecessary precaution, as the
Commissioners themselves we're force suf-
tcient to make the reluctant Colonel fork
over Uncle Sans dipero) and then they en-
tered the residence, with temerity worthy
to be chronicled with the adventures of Gen
eral Putnam in the VOLTS den, and brought
out, without even getting their hair singed,
thirty thousand dollars.
We have searched our Webster in vain
for an appropriate term for this transaction.
We believe the individuals concerned in il
too honorable to commit violation OF the
law, and in their individual capacity would
not be guilty of such an act, but as the
representatives OF another body, acting IN
der Instructions and under the pressure OF
a public necessity, they have thus acted;
aud we speak of them merely as Commis.
sioners. To appreciate the thing fully we
must remember that this money belonged to
the Federal Government in the hand Of a
paymaster, and intended to pay OFF the SOL
diers who have protected our frontier and
the settlers who have supplied them. and
that Texas is not at war with the Federal
lament, but merely going through a
separation from it. No doubt it

80 the Academy of Natural Science at
Paris, the propriety of introd ucing into the
culinary department Of the household, the
use Of horse flesh which, be says, makes a
more nOurishing and wholesome soup than
beef. aud that horse-steaks and horse-roasts
are quite as palatablc as flesh Of cows and

says, which prevents the general use Of this

ABOUT THE SLEEP OF CHILDREN.

One of tie first rhyming couplets learned by
most of us, was: early to bed, and early to rise,
makes man healthy, wealthy and WISE" This
sounds plausible, and if the whole couplet were
followed it would be well enough; but the practice
is: 60 to bed late and get up early An album
dance of sound sleep is very important to the ply
steal and mental health of children. While under
the age of six years. II hours of sound sleep should
be taken by them every night; from six to twelve
years of age, 10 hours needed, and from II to
the full growth of the body, not less than hours
of sleep are absolutely necessary. After that Pc
riod hours may answer, though are better
A sure receipt for securing restless sleep and
the "kicking off, of bed covers is to allow chill
dren, or grown up people even, to eat hearty sup
pers A light diet of bread and milk, say cup
full-not a great bowl full-is all that child
needs, and all it should have after dinner. Give
them this at ) o'clock p. NJ, and accustom them
to 60 to bed invaribly at 6 to 81 o'clock, Summer
and Winter, and they will sleep soundy during
ali the evening and through the night After the
age of three, it is better to accustom children
to sleep during the day Then, by making it an
invarable rule for them to 90 to bed at or 81 P.
NJ, they will quickly drop to sleep. Were there no
considerations Of health, the convenience of hav
ing children "out of the way" during the evening
would be sufficient inducement to this plan.
