GERMANY ON THE SEA-
Ten New ships OF, War-PIenfy of Pa
Ofhcers. ,E

Omcers. ..,,,E
From the German Correspondent er IS "a e.
Great additions to the strength of the
German feet are contemplated. 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 (Vulcan)
seven eorvettes are to be constructed atthe
royal dockyards at Dantzic. Four of these
are to be the size of the Ariadne, and two
of that of the Albatross. The seventh
corvette to be built at DantZic is the Lou
Use. 1t will be commenced in few days,
as soon as the Ariadne is launched. H
In connection with these announce
ments, a letter which appears in the Lon
don Daily Nctcs is of interest. The writer
(who appears to have had the advantage
of official intrOductiOns) gives full particu-
lars of the course of instruction which
German naval officers have to pass The
examination to be passed before being sent
to sea at all is a smart and comprehensive
one, and it is followed by two or three
years afloat as midshipman. Then comes
a year or year and a half at the naval
school at Kiel and after that the young
officer presents himself for his examina-
ton to pass from midshipman to lieuten-
ant. He is probed to the bottom in navi-
CATION and searnanship, including tactics.
Among the artillery subjects, he is ques-
toned as to the parabOla in the flight of
round shot and shell, the effect of impact
with given materials, penetrating power
of different projectiles, the probabilities of
objective points, the details of foreign ar
tillery ornaments, and the use and effect
of small arms in naval action. In naval
engineering he must have full knowledge
of machinery, including principles of con-
densation, expansion, etc, and of ship
building in all its details. He must be up
in land Notifications and the maneuvers of
an infantry force on shore. He must have
full acquaintance with the regulations af-
fecting discipline, and have thepenal code
(which is the same as that in force among
the German land troops at his finger ends.
He must be accomplished in ypographi-
cal draughtmanship,and in the construction
of plans for batteries, and the inproptu
defense of places, IN mathematics he has
to demonstrate familiarity with the differ
entail and integral caleuli. Having thus
shown himself to be an Admirable Critch-
on, he is then at liberty to wait for his va
cancy as sub-lieutenant. 1a

Disgusting story of, Female Miser in
Racine,


A few days ago a German woman, wife
lfJOhn Holman, a fisherman, died at her
home, situated in the north part of the
city, in the district formerly attached to
Mt. Pleasant. Some ladies of the Samari-
tan nature who are ever ready to lend a
helping hand in case of distress, sickness or
death, went to the house to prepare the
corpse foF a Christian burial. In the house
everything bore the imprint of the most abb
je0t squAlor. In the cradle, covered with
an old piece of oil cloth, lay the corpse of q
baby but two months old, on whose body,
which was a mass of filth, maggOts were
found crawling. On the bed, composed of
a pile of rags, was the dead mother, her
hands fiercely clqtched, as if she had died
in great agony. + Cd
Upon making the preparations for lay
ing out the body, the hands, by dint of
hard work, were opened or unclasps9d,
when s. greenhack, and a ten cent piece,
postal currency, were found therein, to
the surprise of all present, even the de-.
ceased wOman's husband nor was that
all; for upon commencing to remove her
garments, upon almost every portion of
her body small amounts of money were
found, even to 81 bill lying on her abdo-
men. About the bed were found differ
ent amounts of money, rolled up in rags,
some of which must have been boarded for
years, for bills on old State banks. were
found, one of which was so mutilate and
obliterated that it could not be discovered
what bank had issued it, how much more
is hid about the house or in Out-Of-the-
way places is not known, if any, but the
suppOsition is that more will be discovered.
About $500 was discovered. -Rdcine ATyus.

What may be called moral statistics " are being
banded about with utter recklessness In San
Francisco. The President of a Benevolent so
ciety y had started the statement that there are
two thousand four hundred grog-shops. three thou
sand thieves, six thousand lewd women and ave
thousand idlers in that city or sixteen thousand
are about one hundred and fifty thousand inhabi-
tants in the county of San Francisco. this makes an
average of one in nine engaged in the active but
Improbable manufacture of poverty" we DO
not credit the estimate. 1t is an extravagant one
for a city much more unfavorably situated than
San Francisco. And we may at least believe that,
whatever the true estimate may be, the tendency
of the city is toward progress. The latest immi-
grafton is forcing out the ruder element and bust
ness in all departments is becoming more stable
and subject to more regular influences.

THE SIX OF THE AGE-We have heretofore called
attention to the pre-eminent Christian civilization
of this age in its peculiar care for the two extremes
of human life-infancy and old age; but what
shall we now say in regard to the evident lapsing
of the people of this most reputed Christian nation
into heather barbarism? The love OF children mas
always been deemed a sign Of superior Intelligence
of noble manhood. Affection for its offspring Is
a quality possessed alike by all animals. with scarce.
ly an exception, and a few indeed of the millions OF
the animal creation seek to destroy their own on
spring after birth. or to so neglect them as TO leave
them liable to destruction by other bodies or forces.
It was left for human intelligences to ncompas
the death of their children, both before birth and
after, and it was left to the Christian civilization OF
this nineteenth century also to discover and adopt
the most revolving and barbarous means to ac-
complish this end. The crime of f9tlclde. or III
f~anticide. is not Of recent growth. Like every
| other crime. it has had a venerable existence. Dnt
its beastly development among us has been mainly
the work of a few years. Thirteen years ago us
prevalence attracted the attention of medical Jur-
lists in all parts of our country, and essays tracts
and bound volumes were issued against 1t. But
the crime grew apace, and its deadly and bastard
ly fruits appear before us to-day, s~ickenlng TO the
moral conscience and religious sentiments OF the
nation.-N. Y. Herald.

NEW JERSEY.
Jersex City without water,

JERSEY CRY, January lO.-The greater
portion of the factories, foundries, and
other large establishments, were obliged
to suspend business either wholly or
partly yesterday in consequence of being
unable to obtain water owing to the ac-
cident to the Jersey City water-works.
The Jersey City ferry companies are
making use of salt water, having no fa-
cilities for such emergencies as the pre-
sent. Locomotives on the New Jersey
railroad are supplied principally from
the tank at Newark, and the gas com
pany is compelled to obtain water from
New York. The dread of fire has alarmed
house owners and insurance companies,
and vigorous precautions are taken to
avoid such calamity, every house being
visited by the authorities, and the oecu-
pants admonished to be watchful Of their
fraa
