Ship.building in Great Britain.

Great Britain is making good use OF
the advantage she has gained in the
business of ship-building. According
to the latest number of the London
SHIPPING Gazette she turned out of her
various building yards in 1870 ga yes
sells, with an aggregate tonnage of 342,
FOG tons. OF these 433 were steamers,
representing a carrying power of 225,-
GA tons, and 81 sailing vessels, of
1902 tons 499, representing $3.50
tons of measurement, were built of
timber, and 445 vessels, of 271,76O tons
aggregate burden, were of iron, while
3O..vessels, of l2,4l6 tons, were of COM
posite manufacture. The increase over
the previous year in the construction of
iron vessels as compared to that of
wooden ones was as five to one. The
largest number of vessels 105) were
built at Glasgow, 90 came from the ship
yards of Sunderland, II from Newcastle,
SO from Liverpool, and the rest from
other ports. OF the whole number
built in Great Britain 70 steamers and
% sailing vessels passed into the hands
of foreigners. The commercial fleet of
the United Kingdom and her colonies
now possesses carrying capacity nearly
equal to that of all other nations com
bined. 1t is a twofold source of wealth,
inasmuch as it aids and stimulate, at
the same time the general commerce of
the kingdom and furnishes an indie
pendent and profitable branch of bust
ness in carrying the merchandise of
other countries to and from their vari.
GUS markets. On the other hand the
United States, with vast stores of pro.
auctions for foreign markets, unlimited
energy and pluck among their capital
lists, and the most active and intelligent
body of working men in the world, have
merchant marine but little more than
sufficient for their own coasting trade,
The comparison is humiliating, to say
the least.

The most remarkable proof of the vitality
Of iiue newspaper has been shown by the
late Chicago fire. The discontinuance of
the Chicago tribune for a single day-while
the fire was still raging-was felt to be
public calamity, and its appearance was
| welcomed by an eager crowd standing for
hours waiting in turn to be served. Its
courageous voice inspired life and hope in
the souls of a sore-stricken people, and
stirred the hearts of the best men in two
hemispheres. Its words of cheer, day after
day, lifted thousands fror, the depths of
despair to the heights of noble manhood
and encouraged them to the work of re-
| building Chicago and their own fortunes.
When it seemed weakest it was strongest,
| when poorest it was richest for though the
fire consumed its material forms, its good
name, with its heritage of good will and its
invincible spirit, were imperishable. Its
living, working, guiding and propelling
force survives, and will quickly re-create
what the fire destroyed.
noticeable popularity of the Tribune is
that it boasts not of to-morrow-nor of to
day. Instead of promising, it does. Its work
is witness for it. After the fire, it brought
four cylinder Hoe press through from New
York in thirty-six hours, but did not herald
it, and its readers were not told that it threw
aside as old type, $4,000 worth of new type
such as it could lay its hands on for the
comely dress. Facts like these reveal the
secret of its success and power.
AS neWS paper it is unrivalled in the
West 1t has the latest news by telegraph
and mail from all quarters of the globe up
to the hour of going to press, reports of the
proceedings Of Congress-, of Western Legs-
latures, and of all important public meetings
and speeches, able correspondents at all the
great political and commercial centres, full
and complete market reports of all kinds,
agricultural, financial, and commercial in
telligence, literary notices and reviews of
books, and whatever concerns the farmer,
the mechanic, the laborer, the capitalist, the
merchant, and business man.
The Tribune both represents and creates
public sentiment, leading rather than fol
lowing it. 1t grapples with living issues,
and lets the dead bury their dead. Always
outspoken and manly, sometimes mistaken
but always independent, it represents the
vital spirit, the progressive, conquering ele-
ment and the best men of the Republican
party, and is the determined foe of dead
beats, incompetents, thieves, corruptionists
and sycophants in all parties. Equal rights
for all, amnesty for rebels, tariff for public
revenue only, the public lands for actual
settlers and not for corporations, and a re-
form of the civil service that shall make fit
ness instead of partizan zeal or personal ia
voritism the test of preferment to office
tbs is the political platform on which it
proposes to sustain the Republican party in
the Presidential campaign of 1872. B.

Gen. Sherman as a Lawyer.

The "early Judiciary" of Kansas
transacted business on equity of prin-
ciples. A good many of the justices
were like necessity, they knew no law,
but they generally did Justice about as
well rs our courts.
case was tried in 1857, in which
Gen. sherman, who then resided OH n
farm in what was then Calhoun county,
was employed as an attorney. The Gen
eral came in with an immense pile of
law books and his presidents well Sc
lected. He expected to try the case
before Squire Gibbs as q good lawyer
should, and had taken the case more
for the purpose of aiding n neighbor in
what he had been made to believe was
good case, and to relieve him from in
Justice, than for any fee.
The jolly old justice came into court
and announced the case for hearing.
The General said the plaintiff was ready.
A long, Ink, lean looking genius who
stopped string of cattle and ogwagon
In the street, and stuck his whip with a
twelve foot lash behind the door, APP
peared for the defense. The testimony
was heard, and Gen. Sherman delivered
his argument, and presented the law in
the case in an able manner, as a good
lawyer would. He read from the COM
mon law of England, and cited cases in
the reports of several of the American
States. The bull whacker followed him,
and ridiculed his precedents, and
secuted at his books. He said it was an
insult to the court to read from "The
COMMON law of England" and declared
that " if we were compelled to take any
of that aristocratic British law" he
wanted "the very best Her Majesty
had, and none of her common law"
That was enough, the Justices face was
set, and the General lost his case. 1t
was the last he ever tried in Kansas.
He left, and Kansas lost medium sort
of tarmer-about equal to Horace Gree
ley-and the nation gained good and
a great General.

Burglar-prOOf Lock.

Among recent inventions connected
with house building is a lock that, by
its peculiar construction, would seem
to be absolutely burglar-proof. The
door cannot be unlocked from the side
opposite to that from which it is locked,
the bolt passing over and etfectually
barring entrance through the key-hole
on the reverse side. Each side of the
lock has its key-hole entirely distinct,
and on another line from the key-hole
on the other side. The se-breaker
hence can find no key-hole in which to
insert his skeleton key, the aperture
being closed by the iron bolt that enters
the socket of the lock, nor can he find
any crevice even by which to insert
g9npowder, for the purpose of blowing
off the fastenings.

Coal Supply of England,

1T has been feared that the coal mines
OF Great Britain would soon be exhaus
ted, and about five years ago the Gov
eminent of that country appointed
Commissioners to inquire into the mat.
ter. These Commissioners have recently
published the first volume of their
reports, which dispels the apprehen
slons entertained by alarmists. These
documents estimate the available
amount of coal in Great Britain at one
hundred and forty-six thousand four
hundred and eighty millions of tons,
which it is calculated, are sufficient to
supply the country for two hundred
and twenty six years. 1t is assumed
that four thousand feet is the extreme
depth down to which the coal mines
may be worked with profit. Leaving
out veins less than foot in thickness.
1t is calculated that the unexhausted
coal IN known mines amounts to 90
Zol,oOO,OOO of tons. The veins living
oeiow four thousand feet, as far as thew
nave been explored, it is believed will
furnish 1920, 100000 of tons in addition
The beds under the lower strata of
rocks, 1t IS conjectured, will supply
oo,1' 5.,,oOO,oo0 OF tons. A theory also
prevails that coal exists at depth of
twelve hundred feet under the chalk
rocks of southern England, and this
view, although opposed by the late Sir
foderick |. Murchison, has been
