trade has been laid at New York, for the
anderson Company, the dimensions of
which will be as follows: Length, $50
feet; beam, 80 feet; depth Of hold, II
feet; engine, 40 inch and ii feet stroke.
The new boat will be finished in the best

CoSrEMrrlBLr--The Transcript Of last
Saturday contains amean fling at the mill
tary department of this district, because
its official advertisements have been pub
lisl.ed in the STANDARD in preference to
the Transcript It goes on to say:
I'VE shou.t, not have one word to sny, II that
ncwspa per was anything but the most virulent OPP
puse, Of the military portion ofonr government. 1t
never has had good word for the men who saved
the government and served in the war, but has con.
tinually denounced Them"
This is a deliberate falsehool, because it
was known to lie false when renned;
reckless falsehood. because even its authors
are not quite so silly as to believe that
everybody, in this communicate least, does
not know that i; is false. The course of
this Journal during the war is too well
known to require Il word in its defense.
The eallan. army and navy have had our
warmes: sympathics, nor havcthese changed
since the war; however much the result Of
their triumrhs may havesincc been pervcrt-
CT by corrupt politicians.
The ipf, it appears. cannot ban
ish the idea that every branch of the Gov
cmmcnt isa party machine, and that each
must be controlled by the same motive
power AM political leverage. But then, its
editors we're never cut out for statesmen,
and many people are so prcsumptious as
to believe that they have mistaken their
calling in attempting to edit newspaper.
They would never have made the at
tempt had it not been habit with Them to
look at themselves out ofthc big end Of the
telescope and at everybody else out of the
little end. They consequently imagine
themselves whales in the mitst of school
Of sarlincs. Now this must be an exceed
in.ly gratifying sensation to them. and we
would not for the world dispel the hallu-
cination if they would only let other pco-
pies business alone. They may boast as
much as they pleasc-own Flanders, con-
troll all the appointments and foot their horn
most lustily-but VIC hope the itching for
greenbacks won't lead them into any more
such confoundcd nonsense. 1fthc crumbs
begin to fall into their plate, we will prom
isc TO rejoice with them. not envy them.

this year. and We presume that Monday
will therefore be substituted for the send

bleeding hearts, and so forth. The abuse
of the privilege accorded on that day by
those not having spark of sentiment. and
who send nothing but ridiculous charica-
