be wrong in this Inference, but judging from the
present system adopted BY yice-Admiral PoRrEa,
We fear that weare right. 1t is notorious that
our beet ships are sent TO sea with watch officers
who have been just aedged from the Naval Acod-
emy. They are undoubtedly bright, clever
boys, but they lack the knowledge and expe-
rcnce which years ofsea-service would give them.
No merchant would intrust his ship and cargo Of
merchandise to a youngstcr Of two years
sea experience. lie could not effect
an insurance in any respectable CON-
pany with such complement Of officers.
Yet the Navy Department sends out the
finest ships in tho world freigbted with hum
dreds Of valuable lives, and armed and equipped
in the most expensive manper, in charge Of young
naval officers who never before took command Of
deck. Why is it that the magnificent frigate
Colorado, flag ship of Rear-Admird Jous
RoDeERs's Asaiic squadron, is sent on q dis.
tant and prolonged cruise In charge Of ensigns,
midshipmen, and junior oflicersS II is due to
the service and TO the best interests Of the eoun-
try that tried and experienced officers be placed
upon that costly craft, and that every means be
taken to enable her TO appear well abroad, and TO
return safely home. We have enough lieu
nant-commanders on the list to properly officer
the ship, and 1t ought to be done.

Mr.. GEORGE w. BLUNT has asccrtaincd
the different rates Of sailors wages paid BY ship.
masters of different nations. The monthly pay
roll Of an American ship Of soV tons is ss72.60;
that Of British ship Of the snme dimensions,
t656 81 Of Preman slip. s24s: a Hamburg
ship, t5o3; au Austrian, S359; a Norwegian,
$S47 and an Italian, including allOwA Ance Tor
rations. $500. This shows that the cost Of labor
alone is one-third greater In this county than in
England or in Italy, aud more than twice as much
as in Germany. For this reason It il impossible
for American ships 70 carry freights as cap as
British or German ships. There is also another
very serious burden weighing upon our ship
owners in the heavy State and municipal taxation
TO which they are subjected. ship owned in
New York has to pay annually eII per cent, or
thereabouts, upon her value. while British aud
.rrnan ships are exempt from such taxation.
Taxing our wages and taxation, 'ogcther with
he greater cost Of buildug aud repairing vessels
in the United States, and the higher value Of
money here il is easy TO see that under our present
system it is impossibe fur this country 10 DO
more than keep possession Of it's cOasting trade.
In fact, there ure experts who maintain that il
the steamers for a line to Liverpool were given
outright 10 an American company, they could
not be run in opposition - the English lines.
This seems an extreme view Of the case, and II
j. not shared by Mr. BLrSr. That gentleman is
of opinion that by freeing from duty the materials
used in building YES ,el' and the stor's employed
IN running them, We might again compete IA m.
vgation with the other na;iols Of the word
But relief from taxation is equally important.

Discussion About Flying.

At the recent annual meeting of
the Aeronautical Society of London,
various novel propositions were adj
vanced relative to aerial navigation,
thought that man should be taught
to fly, as youth were taught to swim
in Germany, by being suspended by
q rope, when he could with safety
make experiments with an artificial
flying apparatus. Another member
described his experiments with an
aerial velocipede, having a plane of
oiled silk attached TO u velocipede,
with propellers at the corners Of the
plane. Mr.. Glaisher, the chairman,
said that if ever they obtained per-
feet aerostation, it must be by means
OF an initial velocity acting on an
inclined aero plane. Mr.. Oclrick
observed that the inventors of the
sewing machine had not succeeded
by endeavoring to initiate the old
sewing process. They started on an
entirely new principle, and aeronauts
if they wished to succeed, must do
the same. They must not follow or
study the flight Of birds, but invent
an entirely new plan. What they
wanted was patient and costly ex-
pertinent, and aerostation could
therefore only be studied successfully
by wealthy societies.

Living Too Fast.

The deadliest foe to mans longe-
witty is an unnatural and unreason-
able excitement. Every man is born
with u certain stock of vitality.
which cannot be increased, but which
may be husband or expended rapidly,
as he deems best. Within certain
limits he has his choice, to live fast
OF slow, TO live abstemiously or inten-
scly, To draw his little amount of life
over o large space, or condense it in
to q narrow one but when his stock
II exhausted he has no more. He
who lives abstemiously, who avoids
all stimulants, takes light exercise,
never overtasks himself, INDUCES no
eXhausting passions, feeds his mind
and heart on no exciting material, has
no facilitating pleasure, let's nothing
ruiile his temper, keeps his accounts
with God and man duly squared up, !"
is sure, barring accidents, to spin out
his life to the longest limit which it
rs possible to attain while he who
lives intensely, who feeds on high
seasoned food, whether material or
mental, fatigues his body or brain by
hard labor, exposes himself to inflam-
matory diseases, seeks continual ex-
element, gives loose rein to his pas
sions, frets at every trouble, and en-
Joys little repose, is burning the can
die at both ends, and is sure to short
on his days.
