Aspiring to the supremacy of the

New YORK, July 24.-The European
mails received by the steamer Deutsch
land, bring the information of great adj
ditions to be made to the German navy.
Besides the three turret ships, two of
which are to be built at the Royal Docks
at Kiel, and one probably by the Stettin
Company, seven corvettes are to be con-
structed at DantZic. Four of these are to
be the size of the Ariadne and two of that
of the Albatros. Theseventh corvette to be
built at Dantzic is the Louise. In con-
nection with this appears letter in the
London Daily News of July 10, from q
writer who has had official intrOductions
while in Germany. He says:
''Every ship In the German service,
even the smallest gunboat, is provided
with detailed drawings and sections of
every foreign war ship. Its weak points
are especially stated, and details given as
to the spots to be aimed at with most
likelihood of disabling the machinery.
Every ship possesses accurate and detailed
charts of the naval ports of the world,
and the examination to which officers are
subjected on this az well as other topics,
insures their acquaintance with them.
Germany does not want for naval officers;
her lack is of feet and a seaboard. The
solution of the fleet problem is q simple
one of cost. The consideration of the
other matter involves q question in which
l do not feel called upon to enter"

THE JErF DAVIS, SCANDAL.

From the Louisville Commercial, July %.
The article which appeared in our Sat-
urday's issue upon this subject went to
press before the Geographic dispatch CIV
ing Mr Davis card of denial, which ap-
peared in the same number, was brought
20 cur attention. AS Mr.. Dsyis passed
his way to Memphis, he has taken the
earliest opportunity to make the denial
which he found upon his arrival there was
''deemed necessary" As he has met the
question like the gallant gentleman which
we have never doubted him TO be, and has
given he story, as promptly as he could,
denial in the most emphatic and judic-
ious language, we hope the scandal will
be consigned henceforth to that
limbo reserved for such stories upon
men who are called on to bear the burden
of unsnyisb'e conspicuity. No feeling
which we have toward MIR. Jefferson
Davis is tinged with any shade of malice,
and it was no disposition to do him injus-
tice which led us to publish al item of
unpleasant news about him, which came
TO US apparently well authenticated. If
the story is founded in malice, as he as
serts, we have no part either in the fGcri-
cation or the spirit which prompted it.
Il is a pity that some of Mr.. Davis
frieTds ard defenders are 80 much less
judicious than he is himself. He may
well ask TO be delivered from such friends
forinstance as the Memphis appeal Such
3 defense as it makes will only serve to
wesken the force Of his denial. We have
no disposition TO go into any argument
about It as the case stands, but it is prop
er TO state ths. VIC have no correspondent
in Memphis as the appeal asserts. We
do not know any correspondent of the
New York Herald. We never derived
any information, directly or indirectly
from anybody connected with the New
York Herald The article, which first
appeared in the local columns of this |
paper, was written in our Office by our
regular city editor; the information en-
bodied in it was derived from a gentle |
man just from Memphis, and the article |
stated the soN1ce from which that gentle |
man derived that information. There
was no need for the Appe0It to have set up
its man Of straw,its suppositious Herald |
correspondent il order to knock him down
so deity, and by doing so it has only in
jured the mag it pretends to defend. 1t |
has made many people say, notwith- |
standing the denial, that it is q very |
queer story.

A Neat Swindle.

PITT, BURG, July 24.-Lyman j. Blan-

grocery and liquor house here two weeks
since, suddenly decamped Saturday. They
purchased goods on credit for dealers
East and West and sold here at low prices
for cash. 1t appears there was no such
person as Lyman J. Blanchard in the firm.
They obtained credit by assuming the
name of L. ]. Blanchard, who lie re-
spectacle grocer doing business here. 1t
is not thought they realized much cash,
as the expose came sooner than expected.

DEATH OF WONDERFUL CHILD
From the Boston Post July 10

From the Boston Post, July 10.
We mentioned in our columns yester-
day the presence in Boston Of most re-
msrkabe child, the offspring of Joseph
and Ann E. Finley. Il presented the re-
markabe as well as unprecedented phe-
nomenon of two heads, four Sims, and
two legs, and all upO1 a single body.
The giri-for such was its sex-died last
evening st No. BOwdoin street. The
first half, or head, breathed its last at 8,
and the second shortly after s o'clock.
The many thousands in the Western and
Middle States who have seen this marvel
lOus eccentricity of nature will learn of
its early death with regret. The child
or children IS il would almost seem
proper 10 allude to the phenomenon
had enjoyed excellent health from
birth, nine months ago, until within
two weeks, at which time one ex-
hibiting signs of illness. This, however,
was but temporary. 1t recovered and
was bright and playful Since reaching
Boston, few days since, the other-or
the other half-was taken sick and died
yesterday afternoon, az already stated.
The two portions OF the body were so in
timately connected that the death of one
rendered that of the other inevitable. The
spectacle was equally novel, strange and
unparalleled. Upon one end of the body
reposed the head of the dead infant; upon
the other that of the live one, with its
eyes still bright and curious, and its lungs
in full breathing order. All that medical
aid could accomplish was done, but il was
found unavailing. The child died in the
presence of its parents. The corpse pre-
= sents the appearance Of two infants asleep.
Apparently, they escaped the ordinary
suffering incident tc deatb, for
the countenances had the expression
of repose. The disposition of the body
is not determined upon. Several OF our
physicians were desirous OF having it
opened for examination. 1t is doubtful
if the parents consent. They reside in
Monroe county, Ohio, and live upon a
farm. They have other children, but
none have exhibited any unusual devel
Opments. Nor can this extraordinary
departure from the laws of nature be &C
counted for. In Philadelphia, where al
the medical SOlons undertook to solve
the problem, nothing whatever was
brought 70 light. The child was looked
upon with amazemeut and interest," but
all attempts to account for its existence
were futile. Il is regarded as more of g
curiosity than the Sismese Twins, and
most celt-inly the spectacle was more
pleasurable to the eye. The child was
shortly TO have been exhibited TO the
public, and would doubtless here, as else
where have attracted throngs of visitors,
The parents we're especially de voted 70
the little marvel, and their so ROW is
grieyous.
