The Coming Ship.

The looming ship" as the intended
rival of the Great Eastern is designated,
has at present been exhibited, in model
only, in San Francisco. 1t is to be of
the same size as the Great Eastern, ex-
cept that instead of twenty-eight feet it
will draw only eighteen feet, and it will
carry proportionately less tonnage. 1t
is designed to carry four times as many
passengers as any present style of ship,
and to substitute for hunks, regular beds
it will also give four times the space to
state-room. The San Francisco Times
says: '"The present mode of bunking
passengers is unworthy of the age. Sea
sickness, if preventible by construction,
should be rendered obsolete. This diside-
ratum is attained in Thomas Silye's
coming ship; it is secured by the proper
tions of the ship; and by their being
thirty feet less of the hull out of the
water than in the Great Eastern; but the
motion is rendered almost imperceptible
by new device. The staterooms, in
stead Of being at the outside limits of
the vessel, are amidship that is the cen
ter line of the ship, where the roll is
scarcely perceptible. The saloon to be
five hundred feet long, and clear of OBJ
structions. 1t is not for dining. Instead
of public table, there are to be two
competing restaurants at the extremities
adjoining the saloons. The ship will sell
passage only; the board being payable
as the meals are ordered. 1t is contem-
plated to carry second class passeng ers
and third class in the same way. The
present first class hunks will be for third
class berths,

The Achievements of Youth.

A .sagacious writer remarks that the
history of heroes is the history of youth,
aud ala 1sst everything that is great has
been do ne by youth. Not that youth is
genius, but the ardent enthusiasm and
sapguine temperament of young blood
oyercomes obstacles that appsll maturer
age, when pi piudence gains too much upon
our other virtues. Caesar and Napoleon,
the greatest captains OF ancient aud
modern times, both conquered Italy at
five-and-twenty. Alexander, in the first
blush of manhood, overthrew tho Per-
sian Empire. Don John of Austria
won Leparto at twenty-five. CASTOR de
Folk was only twenty-five when he stood
a victor on the plain of Rsvenns. Every
one remembers Conde and Rocroy at
the same age. Gustavus Adolphus
died at thirty-eight, and one OF
his captains, the wonderful Dake
of Weimar, was only thirty-six when he
died. Banter himself, after all his mir
acles, died at forty-fve. Cortez WINS lit
tie more than thirty when he gazed upon
the golden cupolas of Mexico. Wren
Maurice of Saxony died, at thirty-two,
all Europe acknowledged the loss of the
grea test captain and profoundest states
man of the age. Innocent III, the
greatest of the Popes, was the despot OF
Christendom at thirty-seven. John de
Medici was cardinal at fifteen, and, ac-
cording to Guieciardini, baffled with his
state-eraft Ferdinand of Arragon himself,
and was Pope at thirty-seven. Luther
robbed even him of his richest province
at thirty-iive. Ignatius Loyola and
John Wesley worked with young brains.
Pascal, the greatest of Frenchmen, wrote
a great work at. sixteen, and died at
thirty-sevcn. Byron, who stopped to
catch the loftiest thought, and deemed 1t
scarce deserved his verse, and Raphael,
who painted the palaces OF Rome, died
at thiriy-ssven. Rieheli Gu was Secre-
tary of State at thiriy-one~ Bollngbroke
aud Pitt were both minister's before men
left of baseball, the latter being Premier
of England at twenty-thre's :. Grotlus was
in great practice at seven teen, and At
torney General at twenty -four. Ac-
quaviva ruled every cabinet IN
Europe, and colonized America be-
fore he was thirty seven. Alexander
Hamilton, author Of the "Fe deralist,"
while a student of Columbia Ct'llege, at
the age of seventeen, published several
essays concerning the rights of th colo
nies, which were marked by vigor and
maturity Of style, aud at twenty General
Washington made him his sid-de-csmp,
with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Aaron Burr was only twenty-seven when
he was appointed Judge Of the So preme
Court, but declined the Office. Daniel
Webster went to Congress at thirty, and
for several years previous had acquired
great professional fame at the bar. Henry
Clay vas barely thirty when he entered
the United States Senate. Edward

lister at twenty, and President Of Harvard

Miss Kellogg Lends Helping Hand to a
Sister Songstress.

At the conclusion of Miss Kelloggs
concert, in Toledo, last Friday night, q
neat, modest looking yousg lady of
eighteen went On the stage, after the au-
dience had retired, and requested to see
the manager. Max Strakosch appeared,
and she asked an engagement. In the
presence of Miss Kellogg aud the COM
pany she sang, with plane accompani-
ment, difficult soprano piece, in which
the quality of her voice was well tested.
Miss Kellogg expressed herself emphati-
cally as being pleased with the effort, IS
did the others present, and the young la
dy was requested to make further .ri.!:
The result proved satisfactory. The
young stranger said her name was Miss
Abbott; that her parents, who were poor,
resided near Milwaukee; that she knew
she was gifted with an uncommon voice,
and, being passioDately fond of music,
she had determined upon receiving first
class Instructions. She had sung, for a
short time. in church in Chicago, and,
obtaining a little means, started from
there with the ultimate hope of reaching
New York city and making herself
known to some professors of music there.
M. Strakosch told her that, as a travelling
singer, she could make but little ad-
vancement in the art of music. What
she first needed was thorough instruc-
ton under frst-class tutors, and that he
would help to secure for her. By invi-
tation, Miss Abbott returned to the OH
yer House with the company, and was
provided with money and letters to
prominent musical personages in New
York

power sprang; and in the speech Of yes
terday he reiterates once more his con
fidence in the sincere exercise of univer
sal suffrage" Even the bitterest oppo-
nents of the imperial dynasty admit that
the principle of universal suffrage has
obtained permanent hold on the French
mind and with that principle the empire
is popularity identified. To our critical
English taste there may be something of
hyperbole in the assertion that "the
masses arc etaunch in their faith as in
their affection, and, if noble passions are
able to rouse them, sophism and calumny
scarcely rufie their surface" But to
French audience such statement carries
with it no favor of exaggeration and
the practical truth of the declaration,
that the masses are still con nstsnt in their
attachment to the empire and Indifferent
to the attacks by which it is assailed, is
a matter, not of opinion, but of fact
The London Standard, of the same
date, observes
What the Emperor says about the mil
tary resources of France is certainly not
without Importance. He says that the
constant object of his efforts is attained,
that the military resources of France are
henceforward upon level with her des-
tiny in the world-a sort of truism which
has usually found its chief veri6cation
in the overthrow of small States whose
military resources were exactly on a
level with their helplessness, and proved
quite comformably with the destiny of
subjugation. But if the Emperor's lam
guage is not particularly happy or full of
meaning, there is no denying or disre-
ga riding the Importance of his state
me nts that the ornaments of France
are rendered perfect, that her arse
nails and magazines are filled, her
reserves exercised, her Garde Mobile
in course of organization, her feet
transformed and her strongholds in good
condition. Whether this development of
the power of France was, as the Em.
peror says, necessary, is question
upon which we will not, of course, enter;
but the Emperor, we may be sure, has
not exaggerated in this description OF
the military resources of the empire;
and the Berlin war Office, which boasts
of being able to call million of men to
arms by short telegram, and IS fond of
talking as if General Won Moltke had
already mapped out an advance upon
Paris, will do well to keep in mind the
assurance the Emperor gives that France
is quite ready for war, and will not be
eaug ght mapping in 1869 as in 1865.

Trouble Among the English Ritualists


A meeting of Ritualistic clergy men,
held in London on the 18th inst, is sag
gestive. 1t was called to discuss their
grievances. Archdeacon Devison pre-
sided. The recent decision of the judi
ciary committee of the Privy Council
the highest ecclesiastical tribunal, the
ultimate appeal in the Church Of Eng
land-was unanimously condemned and
the court pronounced incompetent to
declare the mind of the Church of Eng
land upon any subject whatever" In
other words, these gentlemen who have
sworn obedience to all the ecclesiastical
authorities of tho church, are now ready
TO repudiste the last and highest
court and authority of the church.
On the question Of outward obe-
dience to the decisions of this court,
there was difference of opinion. But,
as has been repeatedly seen before in the
high churchmen of England, discretion
vas deemed on the whole the better part
of valor, snd these clerks who, conscien-
tiously no doubt, repHdiate the govern
ment Of their church as utterly incompe-
tent to its work, could nevertheless decide
to remain in the church, in order to do
what they can to undermine that church;
or, to use their own words, " to spread in
all possible ways the doctrine of the Real
Presence."

The Voice of the nglish Press on the
Speech of the Emperor Napoleon.


The London Times, of the 10Th ultimo,
says:
France does not desire revolution, the
nation is in harmony with the Emperor
in dresding such contingency, and
hence it is the Emperor has confidence
that at another general election another
Legislative body will be chosen ready to
accept the policy he may recommend to
their notice. We need scarcely add a
word to show that Napoleon III has not
found out the secret of free continuous
government. he told his hearers vest err
day, with no les truth than egotism, Il at
France relied upon his frmness for the
maintenance of order. The Emperor is,
in fact the keystone, without which the
whole fabric falls to pieces. Upon his
personal qualities, and upon these alone,
depends the conservation Of the imperial
system. And he is perfectly resolved
that this condition of affairs shall re-
main untouched. Ministers responsible
to the Emperor and to the Emperor
alone, aud an Emperor responsible alone
to the people. constitute an autocracy
which is plainly defective, since it fer
nishss no guarantee for its own snccss-
sion, still less for the union of governing
ability with governing power.

s,,,ge Fiaht in NIissouri.

On Sunday last, says the st. Joseph
Herald of the Doth, Lucien Ashford: o.
SCHUYLER county, Hissodri, wac mur-
Iderei by r. B. Lane. a difficulty haa
existed between them for some time,
and Lane had repeatedly Threatened "a
kill Ashford, bat as he was known to be
considerable of braggart, no particu-
lar notice was taken Of his threats,
either by Ashford or hs friends. Abouf
a week previous to the murder they had
met and renewed the quarrel, and Lane
again swore that he would kill Ashford.
During last week Lane wrote out q chal-
lenge to fight duel, but could get no
one to carry it to Ashford. On the day
of the murder Lane went to the resi-
deuce of Ashford, armed with q huge
butcher knife, and challenged him TO .
deadly conflict, using any weapon be
might choose. Ashford picked up .
brick AID struck Lane blow that saus-
ed him to measure his length on the
ground, and then sprang over the
fence and alighted almost upon his
murderous foe. By this tina
Lane had partially recovered from
the effects of the blow from the brick,
and as Ashford struck the ground he
(Lane) raised his body partly up and
thrust the butcher knife into the bowels
of Ashford, and then sprang up and
dealt another blow, inficting terrible
cash in the shoulders of the falling VIC
tim, then mounted his horse and rode
rapidly away. He was pursued as soon
as the fact of the murder and flight
were known and traced to Uniontown,
Scotland county, where all traces of him
we're lost, Ashford,lived until Monday.

Who il Robeson.

Mr.. Robson is a native of Warren
county, son of the late Judge Robson
once standing Whig candidate for
Governor. He studied law in this city,
and practiced hero and in Jersey City
without greet success. At Camden be
did somewhat better. He was appointed
Attorney General of this State by Gov
ernor Ward, after that Office, tits said,
had been promised by the Governor to
Mr.. CortlaLdt Parker, without that
gentleman's soliciting it. Mr.. Robeson
has the reputation of being genial
whole-souled gentleman. He will
doubtless render Grants Cabinet ex-
ceedingly jolly. As to General Robeson'S
abilities for this position, we learn they
are considered first rate. He used to
make very successful trips to Coney
Island and the Fishing Banks, and on one
occasion, we hear, sailed from New York
to Philadelphia in one of our naval
vessels, amusing the Commanders cabin
with entertaining saltwater yarns.
Robson knows as much about the navy
as either Borie or Welles.-[ NelUark N.

GENERAL LoNGsTREET is GRANTS
choice fo2 the position of Surveyor OF
the Post of New Orleans. He was
chosen in pursuance of the Presidents
policy of making treason odious."
The genius of ULYSSES could not con-
ceive of a more effective plan to accom-
plish this, than through the appoint,
ment of traitors to important and lHcra-
tive positions.
LoNGsTRHET wears his hOnOTs grace
fully aad meets his duties msnfully
Taking his cue from the President, he
has proceeded to turn good Union men
out of office under him and appoint the
most eminent rebels in their stead. II
it be right for the President &c displace
Union men in order to give LONG
STREET and GROVE positions, it is GER
tainly proper for LoNGSTREET TO oust
his "loyal" subordinates in order TO pro-
vide for some of his old comrades,
Whether this is exactly his reasoning
or not is not definitely known, but he
has certainly been turning Union men
ont of the offices which be controls and
filling their places with the most nnmit'
icated Confederstes. OF course, the
"lovap' victims and their friends are
delightea.
