The British md American
 NSyies.

The London Times of August 20, states that the British government spends upon its navies annually about f11 ,000, 900, or S55 ,000,000. It states that the number of officers, men and boys in the navy is 67,00O. England depends upon her navy !; it is the bulwark of her power, and upon it she lavishes her revenues without stint. The number of her ships of war composing the Channel fleet, on foreign stations and on particular service exceeds our own five fold and these 67,OO0 men constitute the force requisite to man her ships.
 The United States navy consists of H. 400 officers, men and boys, about. one sixth of those of the British navy. In 1867 the Radical administration expended on the navy s3l, ,034,O0O. In the year ending June 30, 1868, they expended s25,775,5O2. With only one sixth as many men as the navy of England, they spend nearly one-half as much money as England in 1867, and more than one third as much in 1868, and this in time when our foreign relations are altogether pacific and we are at peace with all the world.

Glory andsTaxcs--PfOphecy hal
 Become History.


 The following is the conclusion of a celebrated article contributed by the famous Rev. Sydney Smith, many years since, to the Edinbprg Review. What was prophecy then is history now, and the people of the United States feel 1t in the increased taxation which the war has brought upon them, and which will entail taxes upon their children and their children's children to the la test generation. Speaking of the Uni ted States, the writer says:
 "We can inform Jonathan what are the inevitable consequences of being too fond of glory; taxes upon every thing which is pleasant to see, hear, feel, smell or taste taxes upon warmth light and locomotion; taxes on every thing on earth and the waters under the earth; on every thing that comes from abroad oris grown at home takes on the raw material, taxcs on every fresh value that is added to it by the industry of man; taxes on the sauce which pempers mans appetite, and the drug that restores him to health; on the ermine which decorates the judge and the rope which hangs the crimi- nal ; On the poor mans salt and the rich mans spice; on the brass nails of the coffin, and the ribbons of the bride 1; at bed or board, coGchAnt or levant, we must pay. The schoolboy whips his taxed top; the beardless youth man. ages his taxed horse with taxed bri- dle on taxed road and the dying Englishman, pouring his medicine, which has paid seven per cent, into a spoon that has paid fifteen per cent, filings himself back on his chintz bed which has paid twenty-two per cent, makes his will on an eight pound stamp, and expires in the arms of an apothecary who has paid license of one hundred pounds for the privilege of putting him to death. His whole property is then immediately taxed from two to ten per cent. Besides the probate, large fees are demanded for burying him in the chancel his virtues are handed down to posterity on taxed marble, and he is gathered to his fla thers to be taxed no more. In addition to all this, the habit of dealing with large sums will make the Government ayaricious and profuse; and the system itself will infallibly generate the base vermin of spies and infcfMers, and still more pestilcnt race of political tool. and rctainefs of the iiacanest and most odious description; while the pro- digious patronage which the collecting of this splendid revenue will throw in the hands of the Government, will in- vest it with so vast an influence, and hold out such means and temptations to corruption, as all the virtue and pub lie -spirit will be unable to resist"

A Beautiful Incident.

A gentleman relates that many years ago he was oh visit to the Isle of Man, and during his walks he strolled into the quiet churchyard where repose the bodies of many faithful and humble christian. Near grave in corner of the church. yard he noticed lady with a little girl (the latter about twelve years of age, to whom she was relating the story of the dairyman's daughter whose remains lay beneath their feet. As the lady proceeded in the narrative he observed the little girl lift up her eyes filled with tears and heard her say that she would try and be as good as the dairyman's daughter had been. After planting beautiful lily on the grave they walked slowly away. The gentleman upon making inquiry found that the lady was the Duchess of K lent and the little girl her daughter. The latter is now Queen of England.

A Whisly sprinE.

The St. Joseph Vindicator contains long account of visit to whiskey spring in Nodaway county. Singular and iimprob- able as it may be, there Ii. said to be more truth than fiction in the story of | spirit ous distillation in operation in the bowels of the earth. The spring is situated in the bluff of ravine, and the water, a dark yellowish liquid, trickles into pool below. The water and soil have strong odor of brandy, and the former tastes like brandy diluted, carrying bitters in solution
 An analysis showed the water to contain 32 per cent, alcohol as it dripped from the rock. The bitterness was probably caused by the roots and soil it passes through. When heated and fixed up with sugar, it has all the properties of brandy punch.

The wonders of Nature.

This world of ours is filled with wonders. The microscope reveals them not less than the telescope, each at either extreme of creation. In the insect creation particularly, there is much to know that has never been dreamed of-wheels within wheels without computation or number. Let us take rapid glance at the proofs of this statement. The polypGs is said, like the fabled hydra, receives new life from the knife which is lifted to de- stroy it. The fy-spider lays an egg as large as itself. There are four thousand and forty-one muscles in the caterpil- lar. uooke discovered fourteen thou sand mirrors in the eye of a drone; and to effect the respiration of carp, thir- teen thousand three hundred arteries, vessels, veins, bones, &c., are necessary. The body of every spider contains four little masses pierced with a multitude of imperceptible holes, each hole per hitting the passage of single thread :; all the threads, to the amount of q thousand to each mass, join together when they come out, and make the single thread with which the spider spins it's web, so that what we call a spiders thread consists of moro than four thousand united. Lcuwhenock, by means of microscopes, observed spiders no bigger than the grain of sand, and which spun threads so fine that it took four thousand of them to equal the magnitude of single hair.
 And thus we might go on until the mind would almost weary ofthe details If the wonders of naturc.

The sepulchre of Fortunes.

An extract from Matthew Hale Smiths forthcoming work, Sunshine and Shadow in New York;" has been published, from which we extract the followings
 s'The failures and reverses of mer- cantile life are common to New York. Scarcely firm stands that has been in business a quarter of a century. Stock speculations underlie these failures. Gambling is not more seductive or more ruinous. The few who rise to sudden wealth by dabbling in stocks tempt the many to venture on this treacherous sea. Professional men of all classes and all grades, merchants, retired capitalists, trustees, widows, farmers, try their hand at gaining sudden wealth in Wall street. Mer- chants who have large balance in the bank, hotel men who have made money, salesmen and clerks, are tempt ed to make venture, and bring only ruin on themselves, their families, and
 
 their employers.
 "Men who live in Wall street live fast, and grow prcmaturely old: They gamble in stocks all day. They renew the contest of Wall street in the hotels at night. Sunday brings some of them no repose. They live high, drink deep and the excitement in stocks during the day is exchanged for gaming al night. Bald heads on young men premature gray hairs, nervous debili lty, paralysis, and untimely decay which mark so many of the business men of New York, with ruined for tunes and characters, show how peril ous and unsatisfactory Is life in Wal street. The sudden collapse of for tunes, closing of elegant mansions the selling of of plate and horses a auction, the hurling of men down from first -class positions to subordinate one' | is an everyday occurrence in New York ! In almost every case these reverses re suit from outside trading and meddlini with matters foreign 'o one's logiti mate business.

IndOrsing President JOnhsOn's
 Policy.

At the Republican Convention held at Syracuse, New York, oh the 20th of Sep tember, 1865, the following resolution was adopted
 Resolved, That we approve as eminently wise and just, the sentiments of kindness and confidence which President Johnson has evinced toward those communities and individuals lately in rebellion, who accept the perpetuation of the Union and the perpetual prohibition of slavery as the Legitimate and irreversible result of the war; that we approve the initial steps which he has taken toward releasing to the people full and complete control over their local affairs just us soon as may be found compatible with the preservation and maintenance of peace, the exclusion of slavery and the fulfllment of the Con stitution of the nation to guarantee every State republican form of government, and that we confidently look forward, un- der his wise administration, to the restora- tion of more cordiality of feeling, of grea- ter mutual respect and interest ih each othcrs's welfare, between the Northern and Southern sections of the Union, than have hitherto prevailed, and that in all the measures he may adopt tending to the attainment of these just and benefcient ends, we pledge him our cordial support.

The Famous Apple Tree.

The Montgomery Picayune contains an interesting account of Lees surrender, from which we take the following:
 "Eyery now and then we see in our ex- changes erroneous descriptions of the surrender at Appomattox, and how General Lee stood and surrendered under an ap- ple tree-hcw Grant admired Lees beauti- full sword, and returned it, remarking that Lee was too brave man to be without a weapon, etc, etc.
 "dentlc reader, none of these things happened. Lee did not surrender under an apple tree. He did not offer his sword to Grant. Grant did not admire the wea- pon and return it. If our readers will bear with Us, we will give the surrender as we saw it
 ' "Gcneral. Lee viewing the hopeless conflict from distance, dis patches a flag of truce to Grant--the struggle ends, aud the hostile lines are drawn back. While this correspondence was going on, and while General Lee was waiting the arrival of General Grant, he took shelter from the sun under an apple tree in McLane's orchard, under which Colonel Talcott, of the engineer crops, had placed some rails for seat, and fully half mile from Appomattox. Grants arrival on the outskirts Of his army was soon an- nounced. Lee, in full suit of gray, with his English sword girded to his side, rid ing forward on his gray to meet Grant he was warrior at whom history itself might stoop to gase. The interview be- tween the opposing chieftains was severely simple but few attendants present. It took place between the pickets of the two armies, and lasted only few minutes Grant apologized for not having his sword, which was behind in his wagon The terms were agreed upon, and Lee rode back to his army Commissioners on either side were appointed to arrange de- tails. The surrender became known and then, to us, for two aa::ys, blank. Lists of our names were made out, and two days afterwards, with heavy hearts, we filed by, brigade at time, before line of captors, and deposited our banners and arms General Lee rode homeward on the third day, and all Was over

TaImudic Proverbs.

Even when the gates of prayer are shut in Heaven, those of tears are open.
 When the righteous die, it is the earth that loses. The lost jewel will always he jewel, but the one who has lost it--well may he weep.
 The reward of good works is like dates; sweet and ripening late.
 To slander is to murder.
 Thy friend has a friend, and thy friends friend has friend-be dis erect.
 The camel wanted to have horns and they took away his ears.
 Descend step in choosing A wife, and mount step in choosing friend.
 If there is any thing bad about you, say it yourself One eats; another says grace
 He who is ashamed will not easily commit sin. There is great difference between him who is ashamed before his own self, and him who is only ashamed of others. It is a good sign in man to be capable of being ashamed.
