EVIL. SPEAKTNG.-That you
may not speak i'll of any one,
do not delight to hear i'll of
them. Give no countenanee
to busy-bodies, who are rum
ming from house to house and
love to talk of other peoples
faults. Those who delight to
hear i'll of others, will soon fall
into the habit of speaking i'll of
them. When busy-bodies run
ont of matter of fact, they will
soon resort to conjecture and
idle stories to please those who
like to hear Others spoken
against. Such characters are
common nuisances, often des-
troy good neighborhoods and
the fellowship of old friends.
If we endeavor in good earnest
to mind ourselves, we shall find
work enough, and but little
time to talk of others.

E 1t isa paradox that loose
habits generally stick tighter
to a fellow than any other kind.
, 1866-10-09

the recent engagement with the Spanish
ironclad squadron at Callao, have proved
almost beyond a doubt that the system of
revolving :urrets is one which merits
great attention. Such being the case, it
remains yet to be determined whether
the system cannot be developed on q
much more extended scale than its most
sanguine supporters ever expected. A
plan has been recently submitted TO the
authorities of the Admiralty and War
Department which, although bold in idea
TO the very extreme, commends itself for
its simplicity. 1t is proposed by a civil
engineer in Portsmouth that revolving
iron-clad forts should be erected on the
foundations now in course Of construction
on the No Mans Land Shoal and the Spit
and Horse Sands, the forts upon which
are intended to defend the roadstead
known as Spithead. 1t is perfectly clear
that if three men can turn with ease one
Of the turrets of the Royal Sovereign, al.
though weighing 100 tons, a revolving
iron-clad fort could be turned with equal
ease by powerful hydraulic machinery,
even though weighing as much 1000 or
5000 tons. At all events, the scheme Is
worthy the consideration of the autho-
rites, and might fairly be left TO the
Turret Committee or to the Chief En-
gineer at Portsmouth Backyard TO report
upon its practicability. 1t is proposed
that the diameter of these forts should be
231ft., being the same as that of the top
course of the present foundations, having
a double curviIinear sectional form, such
form being, it is believed, preferable to
that of a quadrant or that of an angle of
As degrees. The forts will have two tiers
Of 600 Founders mounted on an upper
and lower tier, each containing Is guns,
or 80 in all, and will ~revolve on three
lines of rails with |conical wheels, the
wheels themselves being connected in the
most powerful manner with The platform
above, which, in reality, will form the
foundation upon which the whole of the
irou-clad superstructure of the fort will
rest. The guns will stand one imme-
diateIy over the other upon an iron gall
lery, each two being separated from the
others by iron divisions to avoid the pos
sibility Of accidents. The approximate
weights would be as follow w
iron casing, 1900 tons backing, franz
ing, &C., 1900; $4,000 Founders, 1000
tons; total weight to be turned by hydrau-
lie power, 4,5OO tons. Ample space
: will be provided within the forts for bar
racks, magazines, &C., but it is intended
that staircase should be erected in the
centre, with an iron-clad lookout tower
forming its roof. The time for providing
ourselves with old-fashioned batteries is
gone by. We must low avail ourselves
of iron, steel, or if there be any other
harder and more durable metal known TO
keep out the ponderous shot and shell
which are about to come into use.-Army
