The English Government thought
it had invincible ships of iron, and
so set about inyenting some mach
inery capable of destroying such
vessels belonging to other nations.
Having made a steam ram that
wonld run down the strongest IRON
clad ever built, it has now got to
build smaller ships that are fast
enough to get out of the way. 1t
is satisfied with neither the most
perfect offensive nor defensive
weapon. In this respect it resem-
bles the man who spent his life
trying to demonstrate mathemati-
cally what would be the result
should an irresistible force en-
counter an immovable body.

Tweed has had the glory, such as
it is, of having constructed the
greatest excresence in an architec-
tural point of view among the pub
lie buildings in this. country
the Court House in New York city.
But If we may believe the New
York Evening Post there are now
in course of erection in that State
two public buildings upon which
money is being spent more extra
vagantly than it was even upon
that monument of Tweed's corrup-
ton. These are the New York
postoilice and the State capitol at
Albany, The Evening Post charges
that 81 100000 has been wasted on
the former, and that the latter com
menced at a cost of $4,000, 900 can
not cost less than sls,000,000.--
There is room for reform in the
matter of public building outside
the State. Whatever extrava-
gance, to call it by no harsher
name, there is to be criticised in
New York, the same condition ex-
sts only in a less degree all the
country through.

The contractors for furnishing
clothing to the army and navy,
some of them at least, have reduc-
ed the practice of fraud and decep-
ton almost to a fine art. The
soldiers used to complain that the
soles of the shoes furnished them
were only shingles stained with a
leather-colored dye. The last
batch furnished to the marine
corps are samples of a far more
artistic workmanship. The soles
are composed of pressed chips and
rags covered slIillfully with a va
necring of leather, so that they
passed inspection without difficulty.
The average time that shoes of this
description last, is fourteen days.

The little speck of war made
manifest, seems TO have been en-
larged quite recently. The --latest
intelligence from Friar's Point is
that the negroes were under arms
five hundred strong, Tuesday, and
attacked the above place, but were
repulsed by the whites under Gen
eral Chalmers. According to the
report they threatened to burn
the town and murder the whites.
Although there have been OCCASION
al skirmishes between the oppos-
ing parties, it has not been made
known that any lives were lost.
There must be something radically
wrong in the affairs of n State that
leads either whites or negroes to
come Ito personal collision. We
are not sure pus that the whites
are as much to blame as the ne
groes. Violence, and the examples
set by the whites of the State seem
to have proved contagious among
the negroes. Undoubtedly there
is an exasperating state of affairs in
Mississippi. Misrule and corrup.
ton are the rule, not the exception.
The negroes are banded together
against the native whites of the
State, and, being in the majority,
a feeling of hatred has sprung up.
Human nature is the same every-
where, and If the same state of af-
fairs was in our midst, there would
bc similar state of feeling. 1t is
to be condemned, however, from the
simple fact that the colored people
have all the rights of citizens and
must be protected in all the rights
ana privileges the law grants to
them. 1t does not better matters
to draw a stringent color line, and,
because this has been done in Miss
issippi, is the chief reason of the
trouble. Were the whites more
conciliatory in disposition, they
could divide the vote, and make
Ames and his faction harmless.
When POLITICAL power is wrested
from Ames and his gang, they will
quietly leave the State or subside
into insignificance. We are in
clined to believe that the native
whites of Mississippi have their
happiness and prosperity in their
hands if they possess sense enough
to pursue the proper course. sdjI

Judge Edmonds, the Michigan
postmaster at Washington, has
reason to lift up his voice in lamen-
tation over the obstinacy of the
present generation of clerks. Ac-
cording to his usual custom he
made out the assessments on the
clerks at Washington for campaign
purposes in Pennsylvania, and to
his utter CONSERVATION $1,000 was
all he could raise. Very many of
the bereau officers, and notably
those in the Treasury Department,
instructed their subordinates to
act with perfect independence and
not to be coerced into contributing
through fear of dismissal. -.L III.

There's nothing like thorough
preparation for death. The lack
of it lost to n father and mother in
Texas their dear family of four
children. During the late storm
they were perched in tree which
swayed SO violently in the wind
that it threatened to fall with its
heavy burden. The old couple
concluded that some one had to
he sacrificed. After solemn con-
sultation they agreed that they
were not ready to drop themselves
into eternity, so pushed off their
innocent, sinless children. They
have time now to prepare and will
doubtless meet their little ones in
Paradise.
