Russia has 26 iron.clads, France g.,
Great Britain 46, Prussia 6, Italy 6.
The largest of the Russian iron cladS are
the Scvas:opol and Kniaz Pojarski, the
first Of which is also the oldest, having
been launched in 1864. She nearly
equals the British Black Prince and
Warrior in dimensions, and exceeds the
French Gloirc and Normandic Her cost
vas $10,7l5,O00. The Russian iron-
clad<, if costly, are eminently seaworthy,
differing in this from some of the Eng
lish. The naval status Of Russia, which
is OF very recent creation and growth,
is wonderful. Already Russia is the
third maratitne power Of Europe, and its
rate of increase is at once rapid and
steady.

A SAD SToRY.-Therc comes
from Philadelphia a sad story
about u lame girl, who for fourteen
years, had never left the third
story back room in which she
lived. Not long ago she was car
ried to Fairmount Park, on the
occasion of one of the excursions
Of the school children. Her de-
light at a sight of the fresh "a
dIant nature around her was al
most painful to those who wit
messed it. She lay down on the
grass, and touching it lovingly.
asked what it was, and put similar
questions with reference to the
trees and birds. All day long she
lay in the warm sunshine, gazing
at the blue sky and at the beauti-
full river flowing past the Park.
At intervals she was observed to
weep softly, from the very excess
of the newborn joy within her.

THE HABIT OF GuoD WALKING.
Very few people ever learn to
walk properly. Men and women:
who are particular enough about
their dress, pay no attention TO
their carriage and gait, but sham
bic, trot or waddle along without
much apparent regard for the ap-
pearance they make. One of the
secrets of good walking is to be
able to balance the body easily,
first on one foot, and then on the
other. When the soldier has
learned to stand steadily on one
foot, he can then walk without
swaying, and preserve that stead
iness in marching which is always
a mark of we'll !-drillcd troops. So,
if civilians wish to walk as well as
soldiers. they must, like them,
first learn something of the mys-
teries of balancing. But it is not
an easy thing to stand steady on
a narrow sole with 4 small heel,
and. this is just the difficulty with
the walking Of fashionable people.
The sandaled feet of those ancient
beauties, whose forms have come
down to be preserved in marble,
are beautiful in their unrestrained
natruraIness, and very unlike
those Of modern bellies, or beaux
either, for that matter. With
low heels and broad soles, it is
not difficult to balance the body,
while by drawing in the chin the
shoulders are naturally thrown
back, the lungs given full oppor.
tuuity to expand, and the head
carried erect. Fashionable boots
and high heels must be discarded
or it useless TO make the expert
mcnt Of learning to walk well.

An ingenious drug store clerk
Of Cleveland, who is a chemist in
disguise, has discovered a new
suicide article that not only makes
him famous, but it will save func-
ralexpeuses and entirely dispenses
with coroners and their jurles, and
robs sensational newspaper repor-
ters Of the pleasure Of describing
the corpse. The article is COM
bination Of powerful chemicals,
and when inhaled, changes the en-
tire hody, clothes and all, into
gases in an instant, leaving no
trace Of the victim, not even the
life insurance policy being left.
Several persons are missing, and
it is feared that the clerk bas been
experimenting on them.

A splendid marriage was recently celc-
bra,ed in Newark, n. J., between Mr..
David c. Leech, a wealthy citizen Of
Philadelphia, and Miss Belle Howell, a
Long Branch beauty. The bride was
attircd in white satin with French point
lace, the value Of the latter alone being
estimated at $4,000. She was richly
yelled and adorned with orange blossoms.
\ large temporary pavilion was erected
at the rear Of the house for the benefit
of dancers, and the interior of this build
ing was gorgeously decorated with flow
ers at an expense Of not less than $4,000.
The wedding gifts amounted to not less
than 100000.

A CHrLD EATEN By RATS.-An instance
of the danger Of leaving young children
alone occurred in jamaica, y. l., on
Wednesday evening. Mr.. Thos. Robin
son and his wife, living on Prospect
street, were absent from their house
about an hour, engaged in shopping,
leaving an infant child asleep in cradle.
During their absence the child was
attacked by rats with most horrible re-
suits. One side Of its face was badly
mutilated, one ear was nearly eaten
off, and one eye vas entirely destroyed.
A physician was Immediately called,
who gave it as his opinion that the
child could not recover from the in
iuries.

Grammar as Connected with
kissing and Hugging.

The Hudson Register deals hu.
merously with question Of gram
mar as follows:
| "a searcher after truth writes
to us, (which is grammatically
correct to say The house is
building,' or The house is being
built ) The street is paving or
The streets being paved 2 There
is Il wide diversity Of opinion up
on this subject, but We incline to
favor is being built for the fol-
lowing reason Suppose you wish
to express another kind Of an
idea, would you say, for instance,
Johnny is spanking,' or Johnny
is being spanked?' The differ
ence to you may seem immaterial,
but it is u matter Of considerable
Importance to Johnny; and it is
probable that if any choice were
given him. he would suddenly Sc
Iect the former alternative. You
say, again, that the missionary is
eating Certainly this expresses
a very different and much pleas
anter idea than the form: The
missionary is being eaten and
the sensation is very different for
the missionary, toe. We have
consulted several missionaries a.
bout it, and they all seem to think
that the two things ale somehow
not the same, no matter what the
yrammarians say.
"Bu; it is 10 be confessed that
there are occasions when the diff
ference in the form is not so
marked. You assert, we say,
that Hannah is hugging, which,
by the way, would be a very I'M
proper thing for Hannah to do !;
it would be positively scandalous,
indeed. Precisely similar idea
is conveyed ifyou say, Hannah,
is being hugged,' because it is a
popularity Of the act that it is
hardly ever one-sidcd there is no
sclfshness about it. And it is the
same with kissing. Jane is kiss
ing'-and her mother ought to
know about it if she isis just
exactly as if we say, Jane is be-
ing kissed y and the sensation is
the same, although none Of the
grammars, by q singular inadver,
tance, meHtion the fact. It will
not be necessary, however, for
our correspondent to attempt TO
prove these last mentioned facts
by practice. He must take our
word for them. Unless lie does
SO, we shall answer no more ques-
tions in syntax for him, or any
one else. Our duty is to conserve

I looked up, and saw an angel

most bewitching, heart breaking
manner; and she wore col

her hand.
I took It mechanically. What
did this mean?
She pouted, ah those cherry

AUTU MN LEAVES.

Oh, Autumn Leaves!
My spirit grieves
That you soon should fade,
The beauty bright
That charms our sight
On the earth's cold breast he laid.
Oh, leaves so fair!
Your colorS rare
A sweeter mem'rg bring,
Than all the flowers
Of summer hours.
Or all the buds of Spring.
Your naughty pride
Could not abide
The Summers changeless green,
But you must wear
Those garments rare
Like mantles Of queen.
You rob the skies
Of sunset dyes
And mornings crimson flush;
and then by day
Your trophies gay
Bedeck each tree and bush.
But by-and-by
The wrathful SKY
Will lay your beauty low,
And DER your forms
December storms
Sweep wide the drifting snow.
Then praise be still
To artist skill,
That spit If wiuu or storms,
Gives to our sight
In co!ors bright
The beauty of your forms.

An Important Decision o. the Law 0: Bank
Cheeks

The Court Of Common Pleas in Phila.
dc!pAia has recently decided quite an in.
tercstins question in reference to the
duty and liability Of banks, where there
is to the credit Of the maker of the
check Z less amount than that named in
the check.
William P. RayGcld, Agent, on the
Sth of October, \. d. 1856, drew his
check tor 1925, on the Commercial
National Bank Of Philadelphia, to the
order Of homas Bromley, to whom the
check was delivered.
Mr. Bromley retained the check in his
Possession for several gears aftcrward,
and thcn presented it TO the bank for
payment. lie WAS informed By the Pay
ing teller that there was only 1929 to
tie credit ofMr. Rayfeld, the drawer Of
the check, in Bark. Mr.. Bromley then
claimed, first, that he was entitled to
the payment Of the amount then in bank.
OF account o! the check held and pre-
scntcd b. him, AID On this application
being dclied, second, lie offered to de-
post Il S.:n Of MONEY in the bank suG!-
cicnt to corer the face Of the check, if
The bank officer would pay him the 1929.
Both propositions We're refused, and upon
this action was brought. The decision
Of the court turned upon the first point
made held that where holder ofa
check offers to take less sum than the
full amount Of the check, it is the duty
of the bank to pay it to him, and indorse
the amount paid to him on the check.
The following is the language Of the
curt: ''lf such check is an appro-
priarion Of the whole sum for which it
calls, if so mach is il the hands OF the
banker, it is an appropriation Of any
smaller sum which may be in his hands.
if there be hot sufficient to pay the
amount Of the check. In such q case, if
the holder Of the check is willing to re-
ceive the smaller sum, as the bank is en-
titled to retain the check as evidence of
payment and Of the holders right to re-
ceive The money, it should endorse the
amount Of its payment on the check, and
issue to the holder a certificate Of having
received the check from him, and having
paid so much on account Of it"
