A board of officers is now engaged III revising tto
Regulations for the Navy of the United States. We
commend to it's attention Rule No. 700 in that re-
markable code of laws, which cnacts that Every
officer or man, on reaching the quarterback, either
from boat or below, leaving it to go over the
side is to salute il by raising his cap" The sanctty
of the quarterback is we know of the dearest
deusions of the service but snt this carrying rev
erence for the holy of holes rather too fart The
deck could not be treated with more difference if it
were live admiral. There is story III the Navy Of
a commanding officer who once placed his cooked
hat on a capstan and ordered the whole ships COM
pany to march past 1t and do homage. We do not
think the discipline Of the Navy would suffer if
these outward exhibitions of respect were reserved
for the officers instead of being ayished upon the
hats that have covered their swelling brains and the
planks worn b. their distinguished feet

The appearance OF a new poem by William Cullen
Bryant nowadays il an event i'll literature. We copy
from The Erenng Post of yesterday charming pro-
ductiou from the venerable hand which has wrought
so much of the purest and nobest OF American
verse and our readers will find in it all the dignity
aud tenderness of feeling. tho delicacy of poetic
thought, and the classic elegance of workmanship
for which the author has long been famed. Mr..
Bryant describes his poem " from the Spanish !"
but we DO not understand ii to be translation. 1t Is
apparently the Christmas muslng Of an imaginary
Spanish poet surveying the sad SPECTACLE of his dis
tractcd land verse, sentiment, Gad language must
all be Mr.. Bryants own.

In our Washington correspondence careful
-eview is presented of the vexed question rs
to the profit and loss of Canadian fishermen
under the treaty provisions. 80 much eXag-
geration has been put forth by the newspapers
of the Dominion on this subject, that the ac-
tual facts, supported by official figures, seem
refreshingly new. Far from having suffered
under the treaty, Canadian fishermen have
been largely benefited by its workings; while
the claim for damages, if there really were
any, might perhaps come from our side.
Mr.. John jaw makes very sensible pro-
posal in a letter on the Great Exhibition
which we publish this morning. Before we
90 any further, he thinks it important for us
to know Just how we stand with foreign ma
tons In regard to the show, and he therefore
advises Congress to call for all the diplomatic
correspondence relating to the subject. There
have been so many Observation-Disclosures about
the character of the Exhibition that this seems
only proper measure of precaution. Ii may
not yet be too late to rectify mistakes
The letter on form and life which we pub
lish to-day assumes curious parallel between
figures drawn in threads of Venetian glass
and the duplication of animal forms by ordi-
nary birth and parentage. The value OF such
suggestions is that they point to mechanical
theory of the likeness of child and parent, IN
stead of burdening the subject with mystery.
But it will not answer to push the Illustration
too far: for instance, if the star of glass which
our correspondent describes, has one OF Its
points broken off, that defect appears ever
afterward in the thinnest thread drawn from
it but after man has lost one arm he does
not have ne-armed children. One o. the most
meritorious of theories of the kind is that adj
vanced by Prof Elsberg of this city, of which
an account is given in TRIBUNE Extra No. u.

1t is not often that n good piece of writing. the
production of a child only ten years DID, makes its
way into the newspapers. In The Columbus Ca

Bread IL the staff Of life. 1t strengthens w 40 mat VIC

that we eat There different kinds of bread-the
-four bread that is made OF wheat the corn bread and
the oatmeal bread that used in Scotland In the East
Indies there Is tree that bears bread fruit which is
used instead bread Every housekeeper anxious TO
have good bread. I have sometimes made bread myself
and made it good, as mamma and papa SAID VIII give
you the receipt: Receipt-Two cups OF flour teaspoon
of salt; tablespoon Of lard and little water and
then work 1t and beat 1t good.
Could anything be clearer more methodical'
First. we have statement Of what bread is and of
what it does for Then the high rank of bread
among articles of diet is asserted. A pretty little
episodcal allusion to the bread-irut tree follows
and the anxiety of every housekeeper to have good
bread" is noted. The writer then, with pride not
unbecomng gives her personal experience in bread
making and hints at the parental appreciation which
she has won by her patches. The whole practically
concludes with recipe Haul ineTpertd. She knows
what she is writing about. Addison could not have
done il better. Swift would have done it much IN
the same way. If the reader will examine he will
find that there is not q word III this essay which
could he erased without injury to the sense In all,
there only seven adectiyes. OF 10 words used,
only If we reckon correctly are of Latin origin ;
all the rest Saxon, from kindred roots. There
is only figure the staff of life and that is pro-
verbal. The grammatical construction is simple, but
with one OF two trfng EXCEPTIONS it is perfectly
correct. There was a man once who would have

STARTLING STREET-CAR incident IN
LoUISyILLE.-The Louisville Courier Jour
nal OF Tuesday last says: "While car No Sc,
on the Preston street line, was passing up
Main street about o'clock yesterday after
noon, Mimic ball came crashing into the
midst OF the passengers, bursting through a
south side window, scattering glass over the
noer and seats of the car. Mrs. John A
DlckersOn was sitting with her baby in her
arms and her back TO the window. The ball
striking her veil, snatched il from her head
wound itself up in it, and fell 10 the floor OF
the car, at the time unobserved by the pas
sengers. Several small pieces of glass struck
MIS- DlckersoD on the head, and by one piece
she received slight cut on the temple. The
lady was, of course, greatly alarmed by the
violence OF the shock, and jumped to her feet
hugging her child to her breast under the
impression that Ii was killed. When il was
found that nobody was seriously hurt and
the excitement hal somewhat subside1. a
young gentleman, observing the lady's veil
Oil the floor, picked il up and found that il
contained the ball. Ii was a regular MIME
weighing one ounce, and had evidently been
