1HL VAR .gHIP DEYASTAuOM

From the London Daily Telegraph.
That the Devastation is success, 80
far as She has been tried, is now I'D.
mittcd. The ponderous monster, which
sguats upon the astonished waters with
dead weight Of 10000 tons, takes any
ordinary waves with stolid indifference,
whether she receives tkem on end or
upon bow, beam or quarter. The pro-
dimous hill Of foam which her stem
piles up when under weigh washes, as
was expected, clean over her forward
deck. and she is often submerged aft
hnt her massive mid-section rides quiet
ly enough, and those on board her,
when anchored in the rolling tide-way
at ,pit-lead, say that She was " steadier
than the houses ashore" " She turns
with rea. readiness in a small circle,
and her speed. as proved in six trials
along the measured mile is not only
equal to tile promise Of her designers,
buJ exceeds expectation. The mighty
engines driving this island Of ron with
au indicated power of $500 horses,
with soyeuty-seyen revolutions to the
minute. got fifteen knots and half out
of hr.h.p, and her mean rate at full
steam is thirteen knots and three-quar-
tiers. Here. therefore, is a craft which
is vulnerable only to a very few guns,
lus the swiftuess OF & mail packet, and
the thanks TO h"r twin
scraas-of a tug, while she could utll-
ize these qualities to hurl upon the
.lcs # an opponent the awful force OF
al her 10000 tons moving with the We
loctry OF q spear. On board this re-
maYhablv mm-of-war there are no less
than tlirtv-tour distinct and separate
engines, 4ud indeed the value which
she represents is as serious as her fight
ing capacity What remains to be
learned is the behavior Of the ugly
giant IN real BiscGy gale; and whether
or uo the cal-de-sac which she carries
aft vii, or will not prove mistake in
heavy following sea. With stability as
sured to 81 degrees, with no top gear to
set her over, and with decks which can
be lermyt.caIly sealed, she would be
safe enough; but whenever she does
roll or pitch or scud, the rivits and fit
tiucs in her huge body will be shrewd-
ly tried. Except the Russian monitor
Peter the Great nothing floating could
resist or even challenge such vessel,
at once so strong and swift. The tor.
p;do, ne doubt, may be so developed as
to make the Devastation, and all her
terrible sisters, impotent against a. de
Tended coast. On the high seas at pre-
sent she has no superior, though we
suppose the day will come when even
this amazing construction will be ss
obsolete us the three deckers Of Nelson.

MURDER AND LIFE INSCRANCE-A
CCRIOUN CASE.

Our r,,slers have not forgotten the
mvaterIuus murder in Connecticut some
s.me since, Of Captain Colvocoresses, Il
Gentleman OF wealth and position who
had formerly held commission in the
United States navy No clue to the
llpc.rator Of the crime was ever OBJ
tanned. and We believe all search has
been abandoned; but the case has now
assumed new and startling phase
which will arouse deep interest through
out the country
At the time OF his death, Captain
Colyocoresses' life was insured for the
enormous sum Of $lS5,OO0. The com.
panies issuing the policies refused to
pay, and suits have been commenced by
tine heirs of the deceased against the
Mutual. Metropolitan, New York Life,
Cincinnati Mutual Life, and Phoenix
Life Insurance Company of Hartford.
The defense set up by the latter com.
pmy-which it is understood is identi-
cal with all the rests that Colvoce-
resses obtained the policy with the in
tention Of defrauding the corporation
which insured him by committing sui
eide This, TO say the least, is novel
plea, and the developments Of the trial
will be eagerly scrutinized to ascertain
the facts upon which said plea is based
Men do not often kill themselves to
make other people rich, and We hardly
think Colyocoresses had any intention
of becoming food for worms in order
that his family might have Sl85, 900.
He was healthy, wealthy and reason
ably wise he had agreeable domestic
surroundings and an abundance OF
friends aud, all things considered, was
about the last man in the world anx.
ious to get into coffin. That he de-
liberately snuffed out life's candle u
beat the life insurance companies We do
not for moment imagine and unless
they can prove the charge to tho salts
faction of judge and jury we hope they
will be compelled to hand over 10 the
dead mans representatives the comfort
able sum on which he paid premiums,

The temperance question, now much
agitated in France, brings to the surface
one ingenious reformer, whose zeal for
the cause is at least equal to his discre.
ton. He proposes to outlaw the growth
of the grape, and to make the French
abstemious by encouraging the propa-
cation of the worms that destroy the
roots Of the vine. He would thus do
away, not alone with the vines, but also
with the vanity of the French, for, says
The Saturday RericV, "it is impossible
to conceive that vanity could remain to
a nation whose salvation had been etfoc-
ted by so humble an earthly IN in
strument.
Mr.. JOSIAH Mason, of Birmingham,
has received an offer of knighthood from
Ter Majesty as a reward for her munif-
cence in the causes of charity and edu-
cation. Mr.. Mason founded the Erd-
rington Orphanagc and the Birmingham
Science College.

The WAY TO W1N.-The Louisyille

The WAY TO W1N.-The Louisville
Co"rier-Journal is fine paper, and it
very often says 6ne things better than
any other paper can say them. It points
out IN recent article the way to win, in
etrong' terse, pnre Sax on. We repro
duoe portions of it's sound advice:
The friends of Mr.. Greeley are relying
aitogether too much on the fact that =
majority OF the people prefer him to
@ Grant. Ihey are making too little effort.
ihey are too much inclined to fold their
arms and pas3ively wait for victory to
peroh upon their banner. They must
throw OIL this idleness and enter into the
campaign more vigorously. They must
act upon the advice of Hercules to the
WAGNER. and put their shoulders to the
wheel. by vigorous aud concerted action.
there is no doubt they will be able to
pull through; but, if they leave the Libe.
raj campaign to run itself, they NAV
lose all.
we do not say that the Liberal candi-
dates would not be elected in spite of
the extraordinary efforts of the Radicals
to defeat them, if not another Liberal
speech were made and not q Liberal
dollar expended during the rest of the
campaign. The ground-swell is O reali.
ty, and it is felt in every pnrt of the
country, from North to South, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. But there ia
too much at stake to trust everything to
the great reaction in popular sentiment.
Tho Democrats and Liberals cannot
