comnerc:sI tonnage oi the British Empire
i nov /. litIe more an seven millions OF
tons To protect this tonnage and her sea
coast. Engiand supports 400 ships of war,
whose tonnage exceeds 81, GOO tens. The
aggregate tonnage Of the ships Of war of all
the other nations of Europe is only 3GO,OOO
tons. A very large proportion of Eugland's
commercial marine has been built since
the American war. We came abreast OF
England in this respect about the year
1855, and continued 10 gain until ISL,
when We could show an aggregate tonnage
Of five and hall millions against fur and
three quarters for England. We lost
ground during the war, and EnglaDd rap
idly advanced, but at the close we had .
total OF more than 1000 900 OF tons. But
the ten or eleven years that have elapsed
since the war have done nothing for US,
while England and every other European
nation have rapidly advanced. AT the
close OF last year, our tonnage amounted TO
about four million, eight hundred thou
sand tons, against, as We have already
| stated, upward Of Sven millions Tor
England. Should a European war nov
occur, it would Re the fault OF un-
| wise legislation If We should fail to recover
what we lost by our own domestic difficult
ties. Europe, apart from England and
Russia, even if the other nations should re-
| main neutral, is not in a condition TO take
any large portion Of England's carrying
trade. Norway, which now ranks as the
third maritime power on earth, is the emily
European nation capable Of carrying Its
exports and imports in Its own bottoms.
Germany and France are each dependent
on foreign vessels for at least two-thirds Of
| their commerce. The immense fleets Of
| Holland have almost disappeared, and the
greater part Of its commerce is carried by
English chips.
4 very general impression has prevailed
| that American commerce was brighten ed
into English bottoms during the war. This
is true 10 an extent, but not TO the extent
loose statements Of public speakers would
| lead us to infer. At the outbreak OF the
rebellion We had four and a half million
tons, against five millions at the close. Our
merchantile maline was even then larger
than that of England in 1861, but little
less than that Of England in 1865. But
from 1866 to 1875 We lost 200, 600 and Eng
| land gained 100000. 1t was not war
| that did it, but the results OF war-ruinous
| taxation, initiation, and misgovernment,
that seem inseparable from transition
from war TO pesce. Thus at period while
other maritime nations were rapid increas-
ing their tonnage, the United States, for
the causes alluded 10, were actually losing

A Singular Delasion.
IErom the London Times |


On the evening of Saturday well-drese-
ed woman spoke II the constable on duty
at Old Street Station and told him that she
had a most important communication to
make. She was taken to Mr. Inspector
Peel, when she said that she had commit
ted a most heinous offence and knew that
she must pay the extreme penalty OF the
law, and die for it. She then proceeded to
say that her name was Taite and that she
was superintendent night nurse at the
Shoreditch Workhouse, kingsland road (;
that she was jealous of the matron, q Mrs.
Mays, and for long time past had enter
tanned feeling of revenge that about four
O'Clock in the afternoon Of that day the
matron entered her ward, when Taits knock
ed her down, and she was stunned by the
fall. After this she obtained u razor, which
had for long time been carefully conceal
ed, and cut the matron's throat from ear to
ear, after which she wrapped the body up
in the bed-clothes and concealed it under
the bed Inspector Peel then questioned
her, and she replied that a feeling of re-
morse came over her. She knew that the
absence of the matron would be no
ticsd, a search would be made, and
everything known; SO she get q pass for
leave, and intended to try to make her es-
cape, bat afterwards thought there would
be no bance of success and that she had
better give herself up to the police. Her
demeanor and the production of q pocket
handkerchief covered with blood led to .
supposition that some grave matter was at
the bottom of the affair. The self-accused
was detained and left in the charge of the
detective officers, while Mr.. Acting Super
intendent Harneit and Inspector Peel pro-
ceeded 70 the Shoreditch Workhouse and
made inquiries. They found Mr.. Mays
living and quite well, inquired about the
nurse Tate, and west to her room. In
spector Peel, with great difficulty, got
through a small window, and found the
apartment in the greatest disorder. After
getting the door open the officers COM
menced search they found the bed strip.
ped of the clothes, and under the bedstead
a long bundle. They got this out, and up
on opening it discovered a bolster, but no
human body. The officers then returned to
the police station and had the woman Taite
examined by a surgeon. He declined to
state whether she was suffering from insan-
ity or not, and therefore she was sent back
to the Wol khouse in charge of two detec-
tives, with instructions to the master and
matron to have her placed under special
supervision.

Sir William Thomson on the Cenert
Of the Earth.

Sir William Thomson ON the Cener,
Of the Earth.
4 remarkable address has been delivered
by Sir William Thomson, in the Physical
Section of the British Association, on the
subject of the fluid or solid nature of the
earth's kernel. While not denying that
certain portions of the earthis interior are
in a molten or fluid ttate, Sir William
Thomson maintained, on various more o.
less reconcile grounds, that no lerge pro-
portion of the earth's interior can BY sny
possibility be in the condition of molten
fluid. 81 may say, with Utmost perfect
certainty, that whatever may be the relh-
tive densities of rock, solid and melted, At
or about the temperature of iquefaction, it
is, think, quite certain that cold solid
rock is dsnser than hot melted rock and
no possible degree of rlgidity in the crust
could prevent it from breaking in pieces
and sinking wholly below the liquid lava.
Something like this may have gone on, and
probably did 60 on, for thousands of yean
after qualification commenced; surface
portions of the melted material losing heat,
freezing and sinking Immediately, or grow
ing to thlcknesses of . few metres where the
surface would be cool, and the whole solid
dense enough to sink. This process must
60 on until the sunk portions Of crust build
up from the bottom . sufficiently Close

Spends Forty Years I'm Prison, and
Comes home 10 Find His Sweetheart
Waiting for Him.
The Poridcace Press relates q romantic
,tory Of mechanic in that city. Forty
years ago there lived in Providence, with
In st ,ne's throw from where Grace Church
now 1T ,nds, a young man Of grest intelli-
gence and wonderful mcdaniel ability,
who spent little fortune in the vain At
tempt at making perfect representation ct
Russia iron, and aft IT As many failures rs
attempts in this undertaking, he became
utterly ruined, financially. His ambition
for the secret increased a. his fortune grew
smaller. and when absolute want stared
him in the face, he became possessed with
the determination - accept OF the only
means of obtaining one OF the greatest Sc
crets in the mechanical art, and TO gain
this he must suffer penal servitnde IN the
dungeons of Russia. The rulers OF Russia
are the Only possessors OF the art OF max
ing what is known a. glazed Russian iron,
used extensively for all kinds Of stoves and
stove pipe work, and which has for nearly
a century been made within the walls OF
Russia's underground prisons. None but
life convicts are allowed to be initiated in
10 the secrets of the manufacture OF the
principal means of income TO the Russian
Government, and when once within Its
walls, no one need. ever hope for pardon,
for none has ever been granted, while but
one has ever been known TO escape, and
when the door is once shut to
the outside world, it has never
known what has been the fate Of the unfor-
tunate. This, then, was the Providence
mans last resort for gaining possession Of
the secret which had become his only ambi-
ton. He left his home for Europe, and the
simple rumor of the attempted assassina-
ton of the Gar by an American, and sup
posed TO be insane, was all that was ever
known to his friends of what became OF the
ambitious mechanic, and as nearly half a
century has ratified on since he set out upon
his periious undertaking. hardly anyone
living will remember the circumstances
which is here recorded. There is one per
son, however, in Providence, who remem-
bers well the day the hero OF our sketch
babe her fearful farewell, promising that
before she reached her twentieth birthday
he would return to her and fulfill his prom
ise. All through there long years she has
never forgotten her promise to wait Tor her
lover, nor ceased to believe he would come
for her. She now lives within q moments
walk of the chimes of Grace Church, and
is still we'll preserved, and her grace and
beauty make her far more attractive than
many whose years are the same as were

preserving the peace of Europe, it must
not be forgotten that all the cause Of war
which existed at the outbreak of hoetilities
between Turkey and Servia, still exists at

may be considered settled is, that war will
not be renewed On its present scale. II
