The Decltnation of American Ship.

+ The New York Commercial Advertiser, in
discussing the matter of the great decline of
American shipping in foreign ports Says
"While there has been large increase in the
tonnage of British vessels. and in the aggre-
gate of foreign tonnage, YET the tonnage of the
United States vessels has decreased more than
one-half of the entries, and nearly one-half in
the clealances. The total tonnage entering
British ports during the first four months of
this year was '32O, Ss2i tons larger than the
amount entered during the came period Of
1884, The decrease in American tonnage en-
tered during the same period was 165, 1902 tons.
/ This is q grave condition of affairs. One
half Of our ships are driven off the ocean, and
our maritime prestige is reduced to the status
of third rate power What has become of
the vessels thus displaced in the commerce of
the world7 Asmall per centage of our vessels
have been sunk by rebel privateers. Some re-
main idle in our ports; some have been sold
to foreign shippers, at loss TO their owners I;
and perhaps q still larger portion are sailing
under foreign flags, and really, though not for
mally, owned by American citizens. So many
as have been, temporarily transferred will be
restored to our flag whenthe war ceases But,
in the meantime, while we are retrograding in
our mercantile chipping, other countries, es-
pecially our chief competitor, Great Britain,
are making rapid progress. This irreparable
damage to our shipping and to our national
prestige has been accomplished by q handful
of petty privateers. Had we been utterly des-
titute of navy. the matter could not have
been much worse, but, owning one of the
finest navies in the world, the record is one
that, to say the least, can earn us no credit in
1 history, and no respect from the naval powers.

sufficient to create belief that it ha,

this prophecy, if it has reference to the
present war, peace may confidently be ex-
,pected between this and the first of Sep

A correspondent of the Boston Herald
relates the following incident -
ssIn the city during this time the ex-
citement was gradually becoming general.
Few people until Monday night, 10th
inst, realized the presence of a large
force of rebels Immediately in front OF
the city. The President, Secretary Stan
ton, General Halleck, General Augur and
several other general officers were keenly
alive to the emergency, and activity could
be seen on every hand. Riding down to
the river to see the landing Of the heroic
old Sixth Corps that had come up from
the Army of the Potomac to our relief, l
noticed the President and Secretary Stan
ton both on the wharf and consulting
with the officers of the Corps. In brief
time these veteran troops passed up
Seventh street through the city amid
cheers and the waving Of flags, and were
soon at the front-for the front was not
an hours march Off, As illustrative of
the don't. care xetiveness of the Sixth
Corps boys who have been in so many
hard-fought battles, I cite an incident.
Stepping up to some of them inquired.
Boys, where are you going?' ITO see
the Rebs, they replied unconcernedly,
and in turn asked what rebels were in
front, told them Ewell's troops. Good

cit was an hour before sundown, and
the landscape looked most lovely. The
veterans evidently admired the beautiful
ground on which they were to deploy.
They came on rapid march, passed the
fort and in fifteen minutes were in the
open fields firing away, and actually
forcing back the rebel lines. Some of the
militia who had thus been relieved came
back, and I heard one of them say that
the way those Sixth Corps fellows went
into the skirmish frightened them almost

Tomatoes, about the size of an English

Second market for the first time this sea-

at that price. Yesterday, however, they

"A feeling against England, on the part

CINCINNATI, Is known as one who never
pays debt, if it can be avoided. He has
plenty of money, however, is Jolly, roll
licking old chap, and gets drunk occasion
ally, when, OF course, some friends take
care of him. Not long ago he fell into
the hands of man who had his note for
o sum of money, and as it was last
chance, the man dived into the Old
Judges wallet, took out the amount, and
sput the note where the money had been.
When the. Judge awoke to conscious
ness, as was his wont, he took out his
wallet to count how much money he was
out.

You paid off that note I held" an

A RUSSIAN FABLE.-As an illustration
of the art with which the precepts of re-
ligion may be evaded, even beyond the
ingenuity of Satan himself, it is told in
one of Kryloff7s fables how peasant at
tempted to violate the law OF fasting with
out breaking it's letter. The words of the
precept are, "Ye shall not eat on fast
days any kind of flesh, nor shall ye boil
eggs in water upon your hearths and eat
such eggs" The peasant alluded to
drives nail into the wall and hangs an
egg from it by means of wire. He then
places his lamp under the egg, and cooks
HIN that manner. Being caught in this
Tick by a priest, he alleges as an excuse
that he thought he was not breaking the
Commandments. "Why, the devil must
have Taught you chat" cried the priest,
