OuR NAvY.-When the rebellion COM
menced our navy consisted of but ninety
vessels, all told. These were scattered
to all parts of the sea, in order to have
them out of the way when hostilities
began. The whole number Of men be-
longing to the navy at that time was
less than eight thousand men. Before
the close of the war, say the first Of
January, 1865, we numbered six hum
dred and seventy-one vessels, five hun
dred and 6~fty-nins Of them being pro-
PEELED by steam, and the number Of men
had increased t o over ifty-one thou
sand. These vessels carried over four
thousand SIX hundred guns. The num-
Der of iron-clads now in the navy is
siIty-.hree, with n hundred and nine
ty-fve guns. The present force Of the
navy is two hundred and ninety-siI yes-
sells, carrying two thousand FIVE hundred
and sixty-two guns, a force sufficiently
large for the wants Of the country at the
present time, and perfectly able to main
tain the interests and defend the honor
Of the nation.

The appointment of Registers under
the Bankrupt Act being made by law
the duty of the Chief Justice, Judge
Chase, is now a.oning forhis sins BY be-
ing made the victim Of of~ice-seekers.
He is overwhelmed with applications.
Il is stated that he will not make any
appointments until after the meeting Of
the Supreme Court in April next. Where
several counties are embraced in one
Congressional district, one Register will
probably be selected for each county,
and mono will be appointed except law
yers who stand at the head Of their pro-
fession, and all will be rigidly examined,
as these positions are regarded as Of as
much Importance as that Of United
States District Judge, and the fees will
be fixed by the Supreme Court, so that
the best attorneys can afford to attend
to it. Where there are any number Of
persons who desire totake the benefit Of
the law, the position of Register will be
very profitable, and, as a matter Of
course, there will be ten applicants for
each position. "Pity the sorrows Of a

Such q Convention might be held

before Congress when it assemblies next

suggest Salt Lake City, but will defer
to any other that may be be considered
most convenient for all concerned.

A VERY JEW ISDEEp.-The other night
during the trial scene of Shylock at the
Winter Garden, a rustic follow in the
gallery, who had been walking through
the city during the day to see its noted
and bad quarters, came in late, looked
at Booth for some time, and at last ell
bowling his companion, said: "Look
there, Jim; Pm sure that's the little Jew
that sold me the rotten coat for prime
beaver cloth, in Chatham street. l
knew he was a swindler; but didn't
think he was such q blood-thirsty scoun-
drel." That was certainly a compli-
ment to the tragedian who looks sufi-
GENTLY H%ebrewish for q whole synagogue
and savage enough in that scene to e1-
cite at once to horror and hate. The
story reminds Us Of the anecdote Of
Garrick, who. while rendering Othello,
prompted n countryman to exclaim:
"well l don't know much about play
ing, but I can't see why that little mig
ger there don't do about as well as any
Of 'em."-N. Y. Gazette.

ODDS AND ENDS.

Judge Baldwin having dissolved the
injunction against the Savage Company,
in the ease of Mitchell Lode VS.. Old
Comstock, it becomes very doubtful
whether the main case ever ONE up
for trial. 1t may, however. In which
affirmative event there will be a month
of trial.
On the opening of the Washoe road,
for thoroughly convenient hauling, lum-
Der will commence coming in at a rapid
rate, for building purposes, dwelling
house structures as well As mining
upholstery. 1t is said that con-
tracts for a large number of commodi-
Gus residences in Virginia have already
been drawn and signed, to be carried
out on lumber receipts. For lumber,
also, wait the persons having charge Of
the forthcoming German Festival, to
which we alluded on day before yester.
day.
There is talk of throwing open the
Virginia l. o. o. F. Library to the pub
lie in general; one dollar a month to be
the general membership fee. We be-
lieve that in San Francisco the charge
is 81 per quarter for brethren Of the
Order. The original selection and about
one half Of the new purchase are COM
posed of judiciously chosen volumes;
and we understand that $50 volumes
were selected with reference to having
a thoroughly popular" collection. A
new and elegant carpet has been placed
under foot in the Library room.
Work has been commenced on the
Naglee mine, near the Tunnel Road
junction with the Cemetery grade, in
Virginia city. Very superior character
Of rock has been found in this mine, at
no great depth. Rich men have the
enterprise of prosecuting work on it in
hand. As it lays midway between
Flowery and the Comstock, we presume
it is safe on the score Of title.

The greatest ''public spirit" grit we
ever heard of in this country, was that
indicated by s threat made BY a quartz
wagon tsamster, on yesterday. That
he was going to plant some shade trees
on the Divide. That same man has lost
every hair on top, or of his head, from
last Winters service in navigating the
Divide. He's only joking, too. It's
hard to tell when some men are serious
in this country.
We have carefully examined the full
reports Of the debates in the United
States Senate on the Military Recon
struction Bill and its supplement, and
we find that neither measu met with
the hearty approval any one Senator.
For some they went too far; for others
not far enough. Taken together, they
are pronounced to be, by our leading
statesmen, great experimental measures.
N. P. Banks says that universal suf-
frage in the South will work just as the
late rebels and present "subjugated'
desire, and not otherwise. In other
words, that it will not prove that pana-
cea it has been defined, but something
to the contrary.
"To Congress belongs the power of
Reconstruction, F" is a right-ringing test

A ROMANCE OF THE WARM PRrsslA.-A
young and distinguished officer of the Cui-
rassiers, who had received a cut Of the sabre
from an Austrian Uhlan, was paying visit
to his fancec, a young lady attached to the
Queens household Her lover entered her
salon in his full uniform, and wearing his
helmet, but on taking seat near his fair
lady love he took off his helmet and put it
on Il small table in front of the fire; as not
withstanding, all the enthusiasm Of the pop
ulation, the day was excessively cold. BY
some sudden movement, however, the young
officer upset the toble, and the helmet rolled
into the fire There wasa scream, and an
exclamation of horror.
The scream was of course feminine; the cx-
preston of dismay, however, was masculine,
caused by seeing the horsc-tail ofthe helmet
catch fire and burn away in an instant. To
Join his regiment and pass the King wearing
a singed helmet and one guiltless of horse
tail was utterly impossible, and still less
was it possible to absent himself on such a
day. One eXasperating fact was that the
helmet was burnt behind the wits among
the crowd would therefore imagine that he
had received shot while flying from the
enemy. Needless TO remark that every shor
in the city of Berlin was closed. suddenly
Romeo's fair Juliet started, seized pair o.
cssors, and, in fewer seconds than it take!
me to write, cut off the whole of her mag
niiicent cheeulure doree, and with marvel
lous ingenuity fastened it to the schorchet
helmet. Thus, Grafyon---rode at tn
head of his squadron of Cuirassiers with
flowing trophy of loye and devotion such a
one would have thought Roman woman O
old alone would have parted with; but thi
deed was done by fair Prussian, and in tn
midst of the prosaic nineteenth century.
