THE SCREW PRoPELLER.-Sir
Francis Petit Smith, who died at
London on the 18th ult., was the
original inventor of the screw Pro-
peller. he was farmer in early
life, but possessed great taste for
boat building, and fifty years ago
constructed model in which the
propulsive power was a screw work
ed by spring. Some fifteen years
later the invention had been per-
fected and thoroughly tested, and
on the expiration of his patent, in
1856, the royal navy had 927 vessels
fitted with the screw and an equal
number in the merchant service. 1t
has since worked wonderful revo-
luton in the navigation of steam
ships, at saving in the expenditure
of power of hundreds of millions Ot
| dollars. At the time of his death
| Mr.. Smith was curator of the pat
ent Office museum at South Ken
sington, and receiving from the
government an annual pension O
| 42OO.

From the Cleveland Herald.

While we find no fault with any
newspaper that has a "patent" in
side or "patent" outside, we most
emphatically endorse the remark of
the Ashtabula Sentinel, that a man
may fill sheet in that way but he
cannot edit in that way. There is a
truth underlying that remark that
every newspaper man should pom
der. Not an aFtical of any kind
should go into a newspaper unless
passing the ordeal of editorial judg-
ment. And that judgment should
be based upon knowledge of the
wants and the tastes of the readers
of that paper. There are people
there are great many such-who
look upon all newspapers alike and
will purchase the one which costs
them the fewest pennies. But such
neonle look upon their brain, as they
do upon their stomach; necessary to
be flied with something, but it mat
ters slittle what food it is, or how
cooked. And so there are newspa-
per men who think their sheets
complete however filed, losing sight
entirely, of the greatest essential in
editing a paper, to wit: the proper
editing of its selections; its miscel-
lany. Editing does not mean mere
ly the preparation of editorials-as
they are called. Editing means su-
pervision, and revision on every ar
ticle that goes into the paper. If
all editors but knew it, the selections
in their sheets are of just as much

BAY CRY, MICH. Feb. 24-the ice
which drifted away yesterday
morning separated into several sec
tions and drifted into different di-
rections. That which bore the
greater number swung to the east
shore and all on it, estimated at two
hundred escaped. About five this
afternoon, Arthur Stevenson arrived
from the scene and gave the par
ticulars of his adventure. He was
on what may be termed the middle
field which drifted northeast until
it struck the main ice some distance
from the east shore. This morning
Stevenson and a party of seven
started for terra frnad. They un-
hitched the horse and compelled
him to jump from one cake to an
other, the men drawing the sleigh
after them. By travelling five or six
miles their hazardous journey was
completed, reaching shore at ten A.
NJ. On shore it was supposed this
party had perished. AS far as Ste
venson knew all men on the ice were
off safely, but reports from the west
shore of the bay, late this afternoon
say few men and hats can be seen
on the ice, which is badly broken
up between them and the shore. 1t
is useless to attempt their rescue.
The two men reported drowned
are safe. 1t was at one time sup
posed they and many others were
drowned, but as far as known, all
with the exception of those on the
west shore have escaped safely.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, February 25.-The report
has reached here that great battle
has been fought at Commassie be-
tween the Ashantees and the force un-
der Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley. The
engagement it is said lasted a whole
day and to have closed with no de-
cided result. The loss of the British
troops is given as nearly three hun
dred, including many officers. The
Highlanders alone are reported to
have had one hundred and fifty men
killed and wounded. General Sir
Garnet Wolseley was said to be In
need of reinforcements which were
fifteen miles off.
A special to the Standard says the
Ashantees entirely surrounded the
British army, but were eventually
driven off with great loss. The prin-
cipial war chief of the Ashantees
was killed. The King has taken
command of his army, in person and
it was expected he would renew the
attack. February 5th was the date
decided upon for the Storming of
Commassie by General Wolseley's
forces.

THE VETo.-Ohio is to be no
longer an exception to the most of
the other States of the confederacy
in the exercise of the veto preroga-
tive. The Constitutional Convention
has decided to give the Governor
the veto power, and requiring a
three-ffthse vote of. each branch of
the Legislature to overcome it. This
is compromise between the bare
majority and the two thirds rule, and
perhaps is about as good an. arrange
ment as could be made. IA motion
to reconsider the vote by which the
clause was adopted was voted down,
SO the veto has been finally fixed in
the proposed Constitution. The pro-
priety of such check upon hasty
and ill-adyised Legislation, says the
Cleveland Herald, has been made
extensively evident. The feature of
the proposition that enables the Gov
ernor to veto an Objectionable item
in an appropriation bill without af-
fecting the remainder of the meas
ure is especially to be commended,
and will do more in the hands of an
honest Executive to check unwise
prodigality-even if nothing worse
is attempted-than anything else
that has been done. s ir5H1 ,aa

TRINITY AND TEMPERANoE.-The war
upon liquor dealers IN New York, 1t ap-
pears, is to be taken up by Trinity
Church. Many of the old members, es-
pecially women, have demonstrated with
the Trustees against letting the property
of the church for the sale of intoxicating
beverages, and it has been decided that
in future the property shall not be let for
such purposes. and, that as fast as the
present leases expire, the holders engag-
ed in the Objectionable business must va
cate. Under the rule about forty retail
dealers, some Of them keeping we'll.
known places ofresort, will be obliged to
retire on the 1st of May. / is also stated
that the agitation of the question as II
concerns Trinity, Is having the effect to
induce the members of other churches to
the attention as It concerns the churches
Of their connections and In this way the
work is likely to become more or less
