SECRETARY BoRIE, of the Navy, has
displayed penchant, amounting all
most TO insanity, in changing the
names of vessels. June 10th he is
sued an order changing the names of
forty-one. Thus he has had the Cat
skill metamorphosed into Goliah, the
Chickasaw into Samson, the Kickapoc
into Cyclops, the Sstnduskyi into Mi
nerva, the Tippceanoe into Vesuvius,
the Winnebago into Tornado, and so
on. = In all these changes there is nei7
fther poetry nor sense..9 But somehow
it would seem, that tho Secretary has
found so much time ON his hands that
he has addressed himself to This fool

By this ukase the hereditary Levitical
character of the Russo Greek priest
hood, numbering nearly zoo, 600 with
their families, Is forever abolished
An interesting account Of the condi-
zion of the priesthood prior to this
decree, and the nature Of the change
which it works, IS given by the Mos
COW Gazette:
TWAS about the time of Peter the
Great that the priestly character first
became hereditary in Russia, and
formed caste among the lower
classes of the population, This saved
it from becoming a theocraey, WnIile
it lowered the social dignity OF the
church. Deprived partly OF CIVIL
rights, this levitical caste increased IN
| numbers and in poverty, until IL pc
/ came the chief care OF the Dlshops 10
devise the means of feeding the cleri-
/ cal proIetariat, which, to some extent.
| Stood toward them in the same rela-
| tion as the serfs once did to their
lords. The church became simply a
| means of providing for the wants of
those who were beTeditarily attached
to her service. It's temples at last
came to form part of the doWry of
maidens of the priestly class l
may here mention that no priest
could get a living until he had mar
ried. Indeed, he could rarely get a
| parish except through marriage with
lady possessing reversionary IN
terest In some living, or educated lat
one of the schools for poor daughters
Of the clergg, who were thus worked
/ off the charity list. Another great
evil of this arrangement was that il
prevented the recruitment Of the
clergy from among the better edu'
Gated classes.
Seldom has any great reform Sc
carefully avoided the infringement o.
Justice in respect to vested interests
The children of the clergy lose none
of their rights with the abolition Of
the hereditary character of the clerI
cal Office. If born of priests or dea
cons, they will In future have thu
status Of personal nobility Il. e., tn
social position Of gentry), while thos
/, of parents who are lower in the hier
chy are now placed on an equalit
with the upper grade Of the mercan
tile class. They are to continue t
: have the benefit Of the charitable AM
educational establishments hlthert
maintained for the clergy.
Another important feature in tn
new ukase is the better provisio
! | which it makes for the maintenance
! | Of the priesthood. Their poverty ha
1 been principally due to the excessiv
number both of parishes and priests
: the former having been created fC
7 the latter. There is to be new dis
tribution of cures, on the basis {
: population, facility of communicate
! between villages, the moral conditio
= of Pensioners, &c. Each parish wi
be served only by an incumbent
: and psalmist," the Office of deaco
e being abolished except in the capita

Americans can now understand
how Belgium so rapidly became the
principal workshop for the continent
Of Europe, and how she can sell loco
motives and rails in England. and
how she can underbid the English on
marine and mining engines and heavy
iron work for architecture.
The slow Dutch of Holland
woke up in 1850 to a consciousness Of
the truth that they were losing the
German trade. In alarm they went
to work making railroads. But they
were too late. Their condition was
this: In 1889 the Dutch exports and
imports were e28,5O0,000, nearly
double those of Belgium. In 1862
they were e59,0O0,000, while those of
Belgium, thanks to her railroads, were

to the amount Of $500, 100000, the
Estimated cost of the works, and 60 of
/ per cent. as a sinking fund to pay
tboriEed departments and communes
- construct railroads at their own
expenge, and to aid them with sub
ventions to the extent of one-fourth,
one-third, and in some cases one half
of the cost. The result can be antici-
pated. In 1865 France had 1874
miles of railroad in operation, and
the growth Of her trade, as created
and developed by railroads, is shown

struettpg companies only to tag dOtCl

eminent adopted and declared the
WISE policy that three ffths Of the to-
tai cost OF railways should be borne
by the State and the departments. and
two-ffths by the Companies. In
1852, the Emperor, in order
to still further stimulate the
| construction of railroads, gave tbe
| government guarantee of four ana
i've per cent. interest upon invest
ments in them. Capital flowed in
rapidly, construction proceeded with
vlgor, and at the end of 1857 France
had 4,475 miles of railway. The

POST OFFICE HONEY ORDER SYSTEM

The Money Order System of the Post
Office is established for the protection and
convenience Of the people in making
money remittances through the malls.
The number of Money Order Offices nave
recently been greatly increased, and there
is now hardly a county in this or the adj
joining states, where one or more of these
offices Is not established. This system
affords the safest and cheapest method of
making money remittances in limited
amounts to all paris of the United States.
When it can possibly be avoided, money
should Eever be sent t5a The mails.

When Belgium separated from
Holland In 1880, the latter state pos
sessed a much larger commerce than
Belgium, and much superior means
of communication with other nations
by sea and by canal. Five years later,
in 1885, this inequality endured-tEe
exports of Belgium amounting to only
e1O,800,000 while those of Holland
were over Ell 100000. But the scale
was turned in 1888 by a resolution of
the Belgian Government to adopt
the system of railways which
had done such wonders for the
commerce of England. The great
engineer, George Stephenson, was
employed to plan railroads between
all the principal towns of the king
dom. The law authorizing their con-
struction at the erpense of the gOUe7n-
nte1lt was passed In 1884, and not an
hour was lost In carrying it into
effect. In 1889 Belgium had 185
miles of railway open. Trade re-
ceived new impetus. In 1864 there
were ], $50 miles in operation. The
effect upon the little country, only
one-tenth as large as Great Britain,
! was magical Her industry 10ds
| doubled and quadrupled, and her
trade, internal and external. grelC
more rapidly than IN any other nation
IN Europe Here are the figures OF
this remarkable effect of railways:

In thirty years, from 1885 to 1864,
Belgium increased her exports and
imports almost ten-fold, while Eng
land increased hers in the same pc
Rod only fIve-fold. The harmonious
growth of the commerce of Belgium
with the growth Of her means of COM
munication is seen in the following
table, and taken in connection with
the same result witnessed in France
and England, must be accepted as
establishing the new and great law in
political economy, that the imports
and exports of a nation are precisely
IN proportion to the Development Of ats
railtCdy system:

imports to rai3scG5s and navigation.

Though freedom of trade, steam
vessels, improvements in machinery
and other influences contributed TO
this increase, unquestionably it was
principally due to the railway system
of the country. Indeed the increase
could not haze taken place aoithout the
raitl0ays. Itwould have been physi-
cally impossible to have moved the
quantity of the goods that entered
into the trade, still less to have done
so with the rapidity which the trade
required.
And we would now call particular
attention to fact of the highest sig
niicance and value. The above stated
increase of the British imports and
exports acaS an strict proportion to the
deUelopment Of the rdil1CdgiS as will be
