dainty illustrated. For instance, the Chatta-
nooga, vessel that never finished her trial
trip, was an utter failure in point of speed,
the prime requisite in her case, and is now
too defective to ssend to sea, wholly on
account of bad workmanship and worse mate
rial The Idaho is in the same category.
There ere also the so-caled ''light-draft
monitors" designed by an amateur, aud built
by private ship builders, which are the
laughing-stock of the world. They proved to
be a heavy draft on the Treasury. The
Government was glad to get rid of all the
vessels built by contract during the late
war, as they were worthless for war purposes.
The English Government has been no more
successful in this respect then our own. The
iron-clad Captain is a case in point, which
seems to cover the whole ground This ves-
sci, designed by an amateur, capsized in a
summer squall in a comparatively smooth
sea, carrying five hundred souls into eternity
Here was a vessel built in face of the earnest
objections of professionals whose business it
was to investigate problems of that character
The sad result proved the correctness of their
deductions and the soundness of the doe
trine that governments should build their
war vessels.
Another of the causes that compelled mari
time nations to establish national dockyards
was that they could have control of their
own work, not only as regards quality, but
also in the time of building. The records Of
our own Government, as well as all others,
prove the soundness of this policy. The
proofs were too often exhibited during the
recent struggle of the Union, when private
builders kept the Government waiting year
after year with specious but unfulflled pro-
misses.
This is question of vital importance to
the country. Instead of closing the navy
yards and allowing the machinery to become
useless from disuse, it would be good
economy and highly advantageous to the ma
ton to gradually increase the facilities Of the
different dockyards for doing the greatest
possible amount of work in the least time, so
that should an emergency arise, the Govern
ment would have absolute control of the
time and quality of the public work. 1t
would be false economy and bad policy to
place the Government in q position that in
such an emergency would subject it to the
whims of private individuals.

THE NAVY.

Points to be Considered bv the Department.
1t has always been considered of the utmost
importance to have ''ships of wal" constructed
in the most thorough manner. A few dollars
saved at the expense of good workmanship is
wretched economy. To get vessels built in
the best manner possible was one of the many
reasons why all maritime nations have ma
tional dockyards; and we have never heard of
any person claiming that private shipbuilders
ever did the same quality of work as is done
by the Government.
In national dock-yards the quality of work
is the prime consideration. In private ship
wards the profit is first thought of; quality is
a secondary matter; which, in conjunction
with the vicious system of sub-letting the
various parts of the ship to separate contrac-
tors, precludes the possibility of having war
vessels built in the best manner. The money
expended on vessels built at navy-yards is all
distributed among the workmen, but when
built by contract the contractors always ex-
meet profit of twenty-five TO thirty per cent.
This is taken from the wOrkmen and materials
to make up their gains.
During our late war these facts were album

The Transformation of ParIs-An Unpleasant
Change
A Paris correspondent of BelgraUia writes:-
"On the Sd of September, 1870, it was not
only the grandest city in Europe, but the
cleanest the best ventilated and in all modern
quarters the best drained. It is true that the
policemen used to torment the residents native
and foreign, but more on his insistence on ab-
surd details than anything else; but to the
visitor to Paris he was invaluable: beggars,
drunEards, dogs. and other nuisances fled before
the cockaded hat and rapier of those who are
known as Haussmanns ruffians.' You should
see the streets now
"They are deserted, but that is the effect of
the siege; dirty, which is from the want of
HaussmannisatiOn; crowded with beggars of all
countries vagrant musicians, cripples by the
score, and dogs by the hundred. Then every
body sells everything in the streets, from por-
traits of patriots at three sous each, to onions,
carrots, and celery at q franc the bundle.
Imagine, ye old dwellers in Paris, vegetable
stall spread out on the pavement before Tor
toni's If poor Baron Haussmann could see
his own boulevard as l can this Sunday
afternoon, what would he think? At one
vegetable stall an old woman is cheaper
ing cabbage, which l have known by sight
and smell for several days; two Mobiles are
tossing up for drink; and the whole street is
lined with cheap and extremely nasty carica-
lures. The new police go about by three at a
snail's pace and are warned, imagine, not on
any account to interfere with the will, act, or
deed OF any citizen-at any rate they never do
SO. Anu lnen, " my NlblJOT, can you inquire
to yourself Paris without concerts or theatres
with no Bois, no Tuileries Gardens "a
very dirty artillery-camp occupies them),
and not even chair i'll the Champs
Elysees? Surely there was no vice, save per-
haps idleness, in those penny-ware seats; and
the Parisians are idle, and capable of sitting
down to an extent that neither precedents nor
laws can cure. The Tuieries Gardens and the
Palace Royal were beautifully kept; there was
music for the bonnes to hear, and soldiers to
look atm fact they were the nursery gardens
of Young France; they are now as nasty as the
''Square of Leicester"
''As for the actual state of the city and imme-
date environs, it would be difficult to paint
them in too gloomy colors. The finest city in
Europe is reduced to a dirty, desolate, unf-
nished, neglected town. about as gay as Mantua
under Austrian rule; theatres closed altogether,
cafes at 1870, when all gas is put out; the
squares turned into pits for concealing petro-
leum; the hotels, hospitals, and the Bourse a
battle-ground for les Amis de la France Add to
this the constant anticipation of street-fghting,
and the awkward feeling, moreover, of immi-
nent famine"

IMPORTANT TO SUFFERERS PROM NER-

Whose name it would not be proper to

three weeks ago from the effects Of dis
sipation. he could not sleep, vomited
frequently, was tormented by horrible
fancies, and could not keep limb still.
Opiates made him worse. While in this
condition he was visited by friend, who
advised him to try PLANTATION BITTERs
as an anodyne, stomachic and tonic.
/" No use, said the sick man, despond
ingly; Aothing viii save me. I'm

you are worth forty dead men yet
I'm going TO doctor you now" So say
ing, be put on his hat, and going to the
nearest druggists, presently returned
with bottle of the Bitters, Of which he
administered dose forthwith. 1t had a
soothing cheering, trsnquilizing effect
For q week thereafter the gentleman
continued 70 take the tonic regularly,
according 10 the directions, and at the
end Of that time was able to return-to
