MEXIco.-lt is with mortified feelings
Of disappointment, that we are forced
from the evidences that reach us from all
quarters, through various channels ard
from the most authentic sources, to admit
to all hopes of peace have vanished, and
the blessings which we 50 hopefully an
nounced as certain to flow from the peace
and lawful authority secured by the re-
election of President Juarez, are deferred
to apetber and uncertain day. Never at
any period since the restoration of the
Liberal party, has the situation looked 80
much like revolution. We most reluct-
aDtly yield up all our confidence aud hope
and admit that the country is Tin the
midst of revolution" The defiant atti-
tude of the State Of Oaxaca and the "mas-
terly activity" of the Diaz Brothers, has
lighted up the fires of revolution, encour-
aged and given confidence to the move.
ment in hundreds of localities. The i'm.
portant proclamations of Guerra, Borrego

ties in so many localities, the important
disafection in the regular army, the sud-
den transfer Of the allegiance Of officers
of rank, and considerable organizations
of the army, from the General Govern.
ment to the revolutionary cause, are facts
that force us to acknowledge much against
our wishes. that the country is in revolu-
tiou throughout the length and breadth of
the land.
We consider the crisis as on hand, and
that no patching up policy can change
/ the result Were the entire Cabinet TO
10 be removed Tomorrow, and the vacant
seats offered to the Lerdo and Diaz lea
ders, the result would not be different.
Even "ample faculties" cannot save the
situation. The revolution is evidently
matured, has gathered all its strength,
and the issue is made. If the Govern
ment is strong it can put down the revolu-
tion without the aid of "ample faculties :"
it the revolution is strongest, it will crush
the Government, ample faculties and all.
That we are in a revolution there can be
no doubt; what will be the result we have
not even conjecture tn offer. We are
assured By the revolutionists and their
Sympathlzers, for it appears all outside
of the official ring, are either one or the
other, that this revolution will not disturb
the equilibrium of commerce, weaken con-
confidence or effect the industries of the
country; and that will soon be over. That
the crisis will soon be over is our Prevent

the Department Reports.
IuE SAyN.
Secretary Robson reports the navy As
nov consisting Of lI9 ships Of all classes
aud 10 all conditions, carrying 1890 guns.
Siuce the last report, the SaginaS has
been les, aud the tug Pumrose has been
sold. OF the ships remaining, % are
sailing vessels and the remain Ter are
steamers; 50 carrying 6Ol guns, are IN
service. and of the remainder FIX are
ready Tor sea 81 are monitors, only one
oil which Is now in commission, many OF
them laid up aud mostly unfit for repair.
Uuless something Is doue TO supply the
deficiency which their decay makes, our
cruising navy, now by no means powerful,
indeed scarcely respectable For a nation
of cur rank AMI RESPONSIBILITIES, will soon
almost wholly pass out Of existence as an
arm Of our national power. The Te-
hauntepee aud Darieu Canal expeditions
are noticed, the Secretary commenting
the choice Of route found by the latter.
The Secretary again calls attention TO the
necessity Of dveloping our most important
navy yards. which are generally small in
area and very deficient in water front;
developed on no well considered plan,
and imperfcctly adapted to the changed
condition Of construction AMI equipment.
The yards at Mare Island, Cal, and
League Island are mentioned as worth dc.
velopin-. There are 1888 persons on
the naval pensjol list, receiving u total
of 1891, 29S.25. Tha expenditures Of
the Department since the last report have
been $40, 265, 240,j2 and the appropria-
tionsof current fiscal year amount to s20,-
g54,7l7.25. The estimatse for the year
ending June 30, 1870, are Sl9,925,
507.02, to which must be added $780,
200 for permanent improvements of navy
yards aud stations. With regard to the
reduction of the navy, the Secretary states
that the whole number Of active officers
iu the higher ranks of the service is less
by AZ than before the war.
The pension roll on the first of Novem-
Der last was as follows: 1870 invalids
annually receiving Sl30,654; l,7O3

The French Artillery,

Says correspondent observed thai
their artillery practice was much better
than formerly. The alignment hcs beer
usually good enough, but at hrst the
fuses-all concussion-were disgracefully
bad On one occasion saw fired seven
shells in succession without bursting, but
now for shell not to burst is the ex-
ception, not the rule. From time to
time have collected great many frng-
ments selected with reference to the fus-
ing ! observe two sorts of conclusion
fuses-one brass, the other iron-and of
these unquestionably the latter nre the
best. No single time fuses have seen
except for shrapnels, which have time
of necessity. as need not be explained to
military readers French fllsing. cannot
be very delicate, us the following frag-
ments will prove First, having on two
occasions been near-on one very near
French shells launched into n forest, it
was quite surprising to note how very
few shells exploded on striking mere
branches of trees. If hitting a large
trunk they would then explode but n
mere branches came in their way, they
then would crush through them like SO
many solid shot not exploding until they
touched the ground. The general result
is that q shell comes to earth, ricochets,
and explodes in the air. If explosion
do not take place, then the effect is curi-
ous. More frequently than otherwise,
the proectile stands on its base, just like
sugar-loaf in any grocer's window one
might think it had been laid there by
hand. Nosingle instance have l seen of
shell burying itself, while circumstan-
ces seem to favor the opinion of those
who hold that an elongated rifle projec-
tile in fight always retains the angle
of inclination to the horizon with which
it left the gun. Do you know that the
Prussians use no shrapnel whatever i'll
the war, and the French shrapnel are
laughed at ? Such, indeed, is the fact.
Having seen good deal Of shell practice
in this war, l confidently aver that if
mere solid round shot could have been
pitched in among us, ricocheting along
with all the well known terrible effects
of round shot ricochet, they would have
done ten times more execution than the
same number of 16-inch long shells,
costing, l am told, some f42 sterling
apiece.

A Chapter on Actors.

Good stock actors in theatres, says u
correspondent, can earn from $75 TO $50
per week. This may seem handsome
wages, but one mnst consider the cost
OF costumes and other expenses. A
frst-class dress for character win some
times cost $500, and sometimes ten times
that sum. Stock actors, when favorites
with the public, will remain in one SER
vice for years. Thus in old times the
Bowery had Gates in low comedy for
at least fifteen years, and death alone
severed the engagement At the same
time the Park had Fisher year after
year. But the stock actor must maintain
his popularity. II he be Kissed once in
a decided manner IL il fatal. Hence no
class depends 10 completely ON public
or;";n" ti.is, for ~~hieh reasuu Aoy
pay great court to all connected with
the press, because the press rules opin-
ion. Many of our stock actors are mar
ried, but domestic life cannot flourish
in connection with theatrical affinities,
and hence they are abundant in matri-
monial infelicities. Stage walkers are
those who simply fill up the ranks on
the stcge for appearance sake, and take
occasional part in the dialogue. They
receive from 80 TO $50 per week, and
can attend to other business during the
day Scene -shifters are paid $40 per
week, and are required to be expert in
that business, as slight misundsr-
Standing would disairange the machin-
cry in a very annoying manner.
Among the best paid officials are the
ticket clerks. These men are not at
taches on the profession. On the other
hand, they are downtown brokers. or
bank clerks, and are frst-rate judges of
currency. There is such an incessant
attempt to pass bad money (made by
those who are ignorant of the vigilance
maintained at these posts, that such
men are necessary. I well remember
Mr.. B., the receiving teller of the North
River Bank, who subsequently has be-
come cashier of another institution.
had done business with him for year,
making daily deposits at this counter,
and learned that he possessed great nc
curacy in detecting bad money. One
evening l went to the theatre, and what
was my surprise, on applying for a tic
ket, TO find Mr.. B. sitting behind the
pigeon-hole A smile of recognition eA-
planned all. The poor bank clerk in
this way earned enough to pay his
house rent, and his value to his employ
er may be judged from the fact that he
rejected from S15 to $25 bad money
every night.-N Y. Paper.

National Military Asylums.

The report Of the Board Of Managers
Of the National Military Asylums Of the
United States shows the whole number
Of soldiers supported during the year
were 1, 1893, being an increase Of over 40O
over last year. OF the whole, 2, l0l were
supported at the Central Asylum, Day
ton, Ohio; 7l9 at the Eastern Branch,
Augusta, Maine 70S at the Western
Branch, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 45l at
Philadelphia, and III by outdoor relief.
OF the whole, 8 lost both arms and 5
both legs, 300 each one arm and 3SS each
one leg, and l,2i5 disabled by other
wounds; lib were blind and 4S insane,
and l,G6S we're treated in hospital mostly
for consumption, rheumatism, diarrhua,
&c OF the whole, LOGS were married,
2,552 unmarried, |, i54 native born and
=, 1863 of foreign birth ; sG3 received pen
sions, out of which many supported
their families at home. All labor and
service at the A Asyla9 bpy 1ere II SG paid in az sums
Vhfying from five dollars to twenty-five
dollars per month, the sum Of S67, 900.
Workshops are established at each asy.
lum and last year re,Lized $40. 600, while
the farms and gardens realized 629, 900
more.
The report gives the daily bill Of fare
for each asylum, with the diet list of each
hospital, showing that the inmates are
afforded all the substant tials and most Of
the Injuries Of the markets, yet the aver
age ration per day during the year has
been only twenty-five and one-third
cents per day, while the average total
cost of maintaining each man, including
transportation, clothing, medicine, food,
light, fuel, salaries, and all other ex-
penses of every kind, is only one hun
dred and eightyfour dollars per annum
less, it is believed, than at any similar
institution in the United States
The report gives the States these sol
diers come from as follows New York,
S37; Pennsylvania, 729; New Jersey,
95; Ohio, 555 Indiana, 296 and pro-
portionate numbers from all the other
States. During the year there were 142
dcaths-more than one half from con-
sumption and S91 who had recovered
their health or learned trades or been
prepared in schools to earn their own
living, were honorably discharged.
