Capt II. W. Hire, of H.M.S. Oroaiss, has
submitted to the Admiralty plan for utiliE-
ing the present bridges on the upper deck Of
troop and other passenger screw steam ves-
sells a. lfe-boats.' The screw not having
superseded paddle-wheels in these vessels,
the old paddle-box life-boat is host a. q
means Of saving life At sea, Or Of landing
quickly any large body Of troops. II i
with view 10 meet this deficiency that the
plan now proposed has been so far matured
A boat il to be built FOL the OroEtes, which
will also serve as . bridge. 1t will be 10
feet in width and 80 feet long-the breadth
Of the ship. When launched from the ship
and filed 70 the gunwale with water, il will,
by means Of air cases, be able to carry l50
men, each man carrying with him 20 lbs. Of
food or stores. BY special arrangement
the boat is got in and out Of the ship with
out any purchase from her masts and yards.
The platform of the bridge is formed Of
planking laid over the boats thwarts, and
left on board the ship when she is sent
a6oat. The only Objectionable feature sug-
gested on consideration appears to be, the
probable weight o. re boat and it's WAYS
when in position board steamship as

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, in the allan
ito Aontsts, gives tho following views o.
certain characteristics OF American girls:
"The young girl in our tifhes is creature
who has not particle of vitality to spare
no reserved stock Of force to draw upon in
case Of family exigency she is exquisitely
strung, she is cultivated. she is refined hut
she is too nervous, too wiry, too sensitive /;
she burns away too fast only the easiest Of
circumstances, the most watchful of care
and nursing can keep her within the lines
Of comfortable health and yet this il TIE
creature who must undertake family Life in a
country whore it ia next to absolute impos-
sibility to have permanent domestics. Ere.
quent change, occasional entire break downs
must be the lot of the maiority Of house
keepers, particularly with those who do not
live in ities.
"In fact we in America have 50 Car got out
OF the way Of womanhood that has any vigor
Or outline Of opulence Of physical proper.
tons, that when we see woman made Us
woman ought to BE-, she strikes US as being
. monster. Our willowy girls are afraid Of
nothing 90 much as growing stout; and if a
young lsdy begins to round into proportions
like the woman in Titian's and Giogine's
pictures, she is dressed above measure, and
begins to make secret inquiries into redue-
ing diet, and to cling desperately to the
strongest corset lacing as her only hope. Ii
would require enc to be better educated than
most OF our girls are, to be or look ike the
Sistine Madonna or the Venus OF .Milo."

From facts which have recently come to
light, there Is reason to believe that the
virility Of the English race at home is
rapidly becoming exhausted The announc-
ed determination u the British government
not to 60 to war, no matter what the provo
cation, is a conspicuous sign Of the growing
weakness Of John Bulls backbone, while
population statistics prove iucontestibly that
his prolific powers are steadily deserving
him. In discussing the womAn's rights
question recently, the Pail Mall Gazette
makes the following revelations But it il
growing daily more difficult 10 become q
wife, and, if We may believe Dr. Farr, to be-
come q mother also. With regard to the
first point, it is denonstrably impossible for
all our women, nay for more than two thirds,
or even less, TO marry, because there are
many more women than men, and there are
many men who cannot and many men who
viii not marry aud, AS to the second posi-
ticn, DIR. Earr has announced that there are
in England and Wales alone more than one
million of childless families, while other
authorities affirm that our race is 80 far less
prolific than ia former times that III large
towns two children to each married couple
has become to be the average number

At q political meeting the speakers and
audience were much disturbed by man
who constantly called for Mr.. Henry. When

After several interruptions Of this kind at

form, and was soon airing his elOquence in
magniloquent style, striking out powerfully
in his gestures, when the old cry was heard
for Mr.. Henry.
Putting his hand TO bis mouth like
speaking trumpet, this man was bawlng out
at the top Of his voice, "Mr Henry Henry

ing for Mr.. Henry, as that gentleman was
now speaking.

About q fortnight ago the blanket weavers
in Hsckmondwike, Dswsbury and ahiirheld,
to the nupheF af ls00e ceased work for an
advance OF wages equivalent 70 80 per cent.
The power-loom operatives, chiefly women,
left their employment without any notice,
OF even asking for what they waneed-vir :
Id more per wartern. On Friday week II
was agreed that two members Of the Mas
'ters'. Association should meet the turn outs
and endeayor to effect compromise. On
the other side iti was arranged that there
should be elected from every workshop
female delegates, in the ratio Of one to.eyery
twenty employed, and one from every place
where under twenty worked, and the women
30 elected should have authority to treat,
and that the rest should be bound by theii
decision. The novel interview took place,
and the women, Of course, had plenty Il
cay, the debate lasting over two hours
The origin OF the strike, and the manner In
which il has been conducted, were freely
commented upon by the gentlemen, but the
women expressed their determination Il
stand out for the advance, and backed uT
their case by the use Of arguments sur 7fied
by some of the masters themselves, which
put the two representatives in rather awk-
ward position. The appeal was followed
by little cpaxing, which had the effect 81
inducing the female delegates to agree Il
20 on nc an advance Of half-penny pei
wartern for two months, providing the man
ufacturers would agree to give the othel
halfpenny at the expiration Of that period
This proposal was submitted to the Masters
Association and accepted.
