A Great Literary Success.

The enormous sale and great popu-
Iarity of Emily HI. Moore's new novel,
entitled "a LOST LIFE" is one of the
marked events Of the season. 1t is a
deeply interesting and absorbing novel,
that every woman, married or unmar-
ried, will be charmed with. One of the
finest New York critics says of it, in a
long review: "a LOST LIFE is touching
and pathetic narrative Of loveless, hope
less life, simply told, and easily appre-
ciated by the faintest experience of the
woes that perplex the relation of mar
riage. A cold, hard man, incompetent
to the appreciation of love or faithful
ness. A woman sinking, crushed
through misery and misfortune, into
"A Lost Life Simple and unromantic
enough elements, out of which the
writer has conjured story full OF
pathos, and full of wise suggestions as
we'll. The history Of most lives recalls
an acquaintance with similar expe-
riences, that should be set down as les
sons for self guidance; and when re-
corded, should be read with gratitude
to the recorder" The work is beauti-
fully printed and bound volume, sold at
the low price Of $3.50, and will be for

Practical Ships of the United States
Naval Academy.

In 1851 the steamer John Hancock
was sent to the Academy to be used as
Il practice ship, the students embarking
for the summer and being exercised in
the more practical parts of their profess
sion. The advantages derived from
this happy plan of combining theoreti-
cal instruction on shore with practical
seamanship on board ship were soon
evidenced; and since that time there
has been practical cruise every sum-
mer Except that of 1861, different
sailing vessels having been used for that
purpose. The general course has been
to go to Europe, visiting some of the
principal naval ports of England and
France, returning by way of Madeira.
There have been some few cruises on
our own coast, but the foreign ones
have been most in favor. The Off
from these serving at the Academy in
the various departments. There are
appointed from these officers instruc-
tors in practical seamanship, gunnery,
and navigation; and not only are the
midshipmen thoroughly instructed in
these different branches, but they are
also practiced in the duties of officers.
Those not engaged in performing these
duties are distributed about the ship,
where they can obtain practical
knowledge of the duties of a seaman.
There are quite number of vessels at
tached to the Academy, and used for
different purposes. They are the sail
ing frigates Constitution and Santee,
sloops Savannah, Marion, and Dale, and
the double turreted monitor Amphi-
trite. The Constitution is used as re-
ceiving ship for the new class of each
year, and for the men attached to the
station. The Sante is used as gunnery
ship, being armed with twenty-four s.
inch and uwenty-four 80 pound guns of
the new pattern, mounted on the iron
gun-carriages recently adopted. The
Savannah and Macedonia are used as
practice ships for the summer cruise.
The Marion is used for exercising with
spars, and the Dale for exercising with
sails. These vessels are all moored
alongside the dock, and are convenient
of access. The Monitor lies in the
stream, and is considered to be by no
means the least interesting object to
visitors. These vessels are all kept in
good condition, and are of much more
service than if kept at a navy-yard
while they are no more expensive tc

THE SETTLEMENT OF THE ALABAMA
CLAIMs.-The London Times, in an edi-
torial of a recent date, says it considers
it unprecedented that such a grave diff
ference Between nations as that of the
Alabama claims should have been set
tied without resort to arms. The de-
mand for consequential damages for in
jury done to American commerce by
the Alabama and kindred vessels was
unacceptable to the English Commits
soners, and was abandoned by the
United States. The Times, in conclu-
sion, expresses the hope that, taking
pattern from the adjustment of the
American question, the nations of Eu-
rope will rise to higher conception of
the aims and duties of international fell
loWship.

In our advertising columns will be found
the May statement of the old American In
surance Company of Chicago. From the
fact that this company issues policies ONLY
on dwelling houses, farm property, churches
and schoolhouses, the amount of the receipts
for one month ($84,O2476), appears truly
surprising. The installment plan, on which
only this company does business, was origi-
mated and first adopted by them, and that the
plan is a success, and its merits duly appre-
oiated by the farmers of the entire West, are
abundantly proven by the almost unprece-
denied patronage obtained by the company.
The American having been admitted by
Supt. Miller, of New York, to do business in
that State, after the closest investigation by
the heads of the various insurance depart
ments of other States, we most heartily
recommend it as a sound, well-oficered and
efficiently managed institution, and the in
stallment plan as one meeting a want long
felt by the farming community in general

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation |;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to it's high standard ;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by it's use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by it's tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By it's use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for it's intended purposes"

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-The argument in
the case of Virginia VS.. West Virginia was
continued to-day by Andrew Hunter and
Benz. r. Curtis, of counsel for Virginia.
The bill to enforce the amendment act,
which passed the House to-day, is the most
desperate remedy the Radicals could have
employed to sustain its waning fortunes.
The speeches of the Democratic members
were in every instance powerful constitu.
tional arguments against. the bill, and can
not fail to show it in its true light to the
country. It's passage, however, was fore
gone conclusion, and, like all other recent
enactments in the interest of the party in
power, causes no surprise. ..-.l,,..-
Representative Cox, Of New York, de-
clared the bill aimed at that State, which
he said would control its own election by
fixing another day than the congressional

The CARNIVAL ON SKATEs.-Thc "Skating
carnival" at the rink on 9Th street, Tues
day night, was success in every respect.
The floor was covered with masked and
merry skaters, of both sexes. not so nume-
rous or promiscuous, however, as to make
it at all disagreeable for any one to partici.
pate in the sport. Considerable taste had
been displayed in the selection of costumes,
and the spectators were allowed wide
range for guessing. We shall not attempt
to 60 into detail, when about three hun
dred maskers We're entered, although it is
hard to refrain from mentioning by name
some whose appearance in character and
gracerulness in skating won general admi-
ration. The number of spectators was SO
large that many were unable to catch a
glimpse of the scene which had attracted
them thither for more than a moment at
time. Had the weather been fine the
rink would hardly have held the crowd.

DEFALcATIoN OF A BANK OFFICER IN
NEwARK.-The fact has just leaked out,
says the Newark Eremng Courier of Fri
day, though it has been known for some
time to the bank officers, that the receiving
teller in the City National Bank, Mr.. Elias
Dayton, has been robbing that institution
Tor the past two years. Dayton is a young
man Of pleasing appearance, and apparently
the soul OF honesty, and stranger would
undoubtedly consider him both moral and
steady, but he has long been known to his
acquaintance as amazingly 'sfaSt." Though
receiving a salary Of but $500 per year, be
spent money most lavishly, and suspicious
were not untrequently aroused in the minds
Of those aware of these habits. About two
months ago he accompanied gay party to
Bloomfield on "straw ride" in one
Of Compton's large sleighs, and very
generously footed the bill, which, including
- suppcrS for each one Of the party, and
other expenses at the hotel there, amount
by him in one evening. And he was great
on coaches. Whenever 4 lady friend ac-
companied him out, however short the dis
lance, the expedition was made in coach,
and even when wishing to attend any place
of amusement in New York, he would drive
thither in coach. On another occasion,
having invited a number of friends to meet
him at certain place, he provided coach
for each one and took care of them in royal
syle. His general mode of amusing him
self and others was in accordance with
this extravaeant style. As has been said
before, many suspected that he was
practising some course of dishonesty,
and it is not to be wondered at
when it was understood Yesterday
that he had hastily resigned his posi-
ton, and was Immediately to leave for New
York State. that numerous rumors Of a
discovered dcfalcation and a dismissal were
set atloat. And Dame Rumor, it seems,
was right for once. Some time ago the
bank officers discovered that Dayton had
been robbine them for two years, and had
enriched himself ut their expense to the
amount OF So 600 or more. The matter
was kept in profound secrecy, and Dayton
detained for while and then dismissed
Mr.. Cephus Woodruff, one OF the directors,
it is stated, was aware of thefelloW's dis
honest course some months ago, and then
privately warned him against continuing it.
Dayton was very adroit in his schemes, and
managed to keep the books balanced. Not
Withstanding this course of conduct, he
was an esteemed member Of the Clinton
Avenue Reformed Church, and communed
there last Sunday. He boarded in Academy
street, and was most respectfully connect
ed. Friday he left for his home in New
York State

DRY GOODS either are cheap or they are not
cheap. Some stores sell cheap others do not sell
cheap. Those stores which place such low figures
upon their goods as TO make them within the reach
of all are busy others, that ask an unreasonable
profit, are not busy. The above thoughts sug-
gested themselves to us as we stroied up Main
street yesterday, and noticed the customers at the
d. fferent dry goodshouses. At LEVY BROTHERS
we saw their never-fliling crowd of buyers taking
advantage OF their numerous bargains. and we
could not but think that good many besides our
selves had discovered that the place where dry
goods could always be had at the lowest price was
at LEVY BROTHERS.. We wouldn't be surprised
If their plan OF asking but ONE PRICE has good
deal to do with the patronage shown to and de-
served by this euterprislng firm.
