sH1P-BUILDlNG PROSPECTS.

SHIP BUILDING PROSPECTS. :.
For the past two years English ship
building has been steadily on the de-
cline. Glasgow takes the lead of all
English yards this year, with "A steam
ers aggregating 81, s03 tons. and 25 sail
ing ships of "a, 1876 tons, making grand
total of 56, 1877 tons in a single year for
Glasgow alone. The total decrease for
Great Britain in iron vessels was GA, 239
tons between January and July Of the
year which is just closing. The two
years make the following exhibit by
comparison i:

Sailing vessels. .l13,S66 liz, ,434
Decrease. ase....-......... 66,54e 1869
This falling off arises chiefly from the
unsafe character of iron sailing vessels
on long voyages. Accuracy of compass
is something almost unknown upon
them, and to this may be attributed the
loss of the Warrior Queen and the Ry-
dal Hall, on the coast of California. in
the past two years; while the percentage
of iron ships that disappear at sea and
are never heard from is truly frightful.
A return to wooden vessels is inevita-
bic, as the high rate of insurance upon
iron ships, hereafter. will more than
Offset the saving of first cost in their
construction. An iron ship is very
nice affair till she becomes leaky, and
then she becomes nothing less than q
floating coffin.
With return, therefore, to the con-
struction of wooden ships, our section
of America must reap the greatest BEN
eft. The scarcity of good timber in the
Atlantic shipyards is abundantly shown
by the inferior deck planking and
knotty spars of the Maine built ships
now arriving in the various Pacific
ports. We shall not have many more
years to wait for the revolution that
will be inaugurated by the success Of
the Wildwood, Western Shore, and Cas-
sandra Adams. American capital will
seek Puget Sound for investment in
grain ships, while English sovereigns
will be put into similar enterprises at
Burrard Inlet, Port Essington and Es-
quinalt. The yellow cedar found near
the two former places on the Columbian
side of the line, is source of greater
wealth than the discovery of dozen
gold mines. 1t will sweep away the
dark forests and make the waste places
bloom like gardens.

a true idea of the real nobeness Of the
man. In letter to one of his family
just after he had assumed charge of a
brigade he says:
"l arrived here last evening about
dusk, and was welcomed in a style that
was both tiattering and gratifying. /
wish you could have seen how rejoiced
my men seemed to be at my return.
! W hatever may be the real sentiments
entertained by the world AT large, l felt
assured that here, surrounded by my
little band of heroes, l am loved and re-
spected. There is that feeling OF mutual
| trust and confidence existing between
us, which renders our Intercourse one
of pleasure. Often, in my meditations,
think of the vast responsibility resting
upon me; of the many, many
lives. entrusted to my keeping; /;
and consequently, of the happl-.
ness of 80 many households depend
ing upon my discretion and judgment.
And to think that am just leaving my
boyhood makes the responsibility ap-
pear greater. And yet L haVeno fears,
nor do think that this little fact is due
to any self-conceit or egotism on my
part. try to make no unjust preten-
sions. l assume nothing tnat l know
not to be true. 1t requires no extensive
knowledge to inform me what is my duty
both to my country and to my command.
Knowing my duty, all that is then req
uisite TO insure success, is honesty Of
purpose, and fixed Intentions, or, to eX-
press the same meaning in different
language, have only to adopt the we'll
known motto, First, be sure you're right,
then go ahead.' 10 this simple rule,
framed though it be in humble language,
L can attribute, more than to any other,
my success in lite. When deciding upon
any course to pursue, have asked my
self, is it right? Satisfied that it is,
allow nothing TO swerve me from my
purpose. Few persons have disregarded
public opinion so much as l, Not but
that think proper regard should be
shown for that which the world might
say,' but one who adopts public opinion
as his guide, can not entertain one pur-
pose long. He will find that what
pleases one, displeases another.

loss to determine, nor are we informed
what disposition will be made OF the
Baron's ashes thus obtained, but it is
fair to assume thath would have rested
! just as comfortably had ne been buried
in some quiet cemetery in the usual
manner, and that the expense and cere-
monY of his funeral would have been no
greater than that attending his crema-
ton. 1t is not evident to us that his
survivors profit by this disposition of
his remains, and it surely can matter
but little to him whether his body crum-
bic slowly to dust in the grave or be.
swiftly reduced to ashes in a glowing
furnace.
For all that has been said and written
upon the subject of cremation in this
country, very little of it has been prac-
tlcally accomplished, the first and most
familiar case on record being that of
Honorable Henry Laurens, OF South
Carolina, fully fifty years ago. This
gentleman was a famous man of his Pc
riod, who took an active part in the
stirring events of his time, and succeed
ed John Hancock as President of the
Continental Congress. Upon his death
he left directions with his son for the
burning of his body, and, as a failure to
carry out these instructions entailed a
forfeiture of his inheritance, the son
strictly complied with them.
The inhabitants OF quiet little Wash
ington will no doubt enjoy rare in
tellectual treat upon the approaching
occasion, as scientific men from all parts
propose to meet there and exchange
notes upon the subject of cremation.
After this event we shall not be sur
prised to hear that every farmer in
Washington County has erected crem-
atory, and that the smoke of his fur
mace ascends forever. Then shall the
undertaken lament that his occupation
is gone, and the tombstone peddler
mourn without being comlorted.

Where the yelling ivy falls
U'er BOthwelPs ruined walls,
While musing on the golden lon g-agos
And soon, in Fancy's dream,
Lulled by the grooming stream,
/ saw noble knight and lady fair
Meandering arm in arm,
While Love, with many n charm
Upreared for them castle in the air
And then, with Fancy's eye,
In second scene saw l

And singing of the knight
Who had her hearts trOth- plight
While strove he where the fight was raging on
Next saw scene tho last

In anguish DER her lovers lifeless form,

Was wrecked to ruin in Fate's selfish storm.
Yet still the Clyde flows on,

Though time and storm have crushed the castl

New Orleans revels in the luxury of a

SOwn OF Washington, Pa, proposes to
make the Centennial year memorable
me in Eher annals through the medium
II an imposing cremation ceremony.
1t is well known that Dr.. LIE Moyne, a
citizen OF Washington, some time since
constructed furnace, or, more eupho-
liously, crematory, for the reducing of
bodies to ashes by the process of crema-
lion. This furnace is arranged on scien-
life principles, and, at recent experi-
nent on the bodies of two sheep, prov ed
quite success, accomplishing their en-
ire dissolution in about five hours.
The first attempt upon the human form
divine will be made in few days, and
the body to be subjected to the process
Is that OF the late Baron dc Palm, for
merly from Bavaria, who died in this
country last May. AT the time of his
ieath his body was embalmed, and al
present is said TO be in perfect state oi
preservation. The Baron was a mem.

cremation will be conducted under their

Mr.. MOTLEY, whose "Rise and Fall OF

front rank as historian, seems to have
gone back to his first love and is now
announced as engaged upon historical
romance to be published early in the COM
ing year. 1t may not be generally known,
but is nevertheless true that Mr.. Motley
has already published two novels that
achieved in their day no small success.
The first and best, called "Morton's
Hope," was published in 1S49. The
second, called "Merry Mount" was is
sued ten years later and was disliked.
With Mr.. Motley's ripened judgment

writings, it is impossible that he now

IT is comforting thought to know
that English peaches are immeasurably
inferior to those produced in this coun-
try, especially since Londoners have
discovered means of supplying pure
Goshen butter from the mud of the
Thames at profit OF three and sixpence
sterling per pound. Small globes OF cork
matted with hair and woolly fiber are
deposited in the mud and slime of the
river bed at low tide. The oleaginous
substance from factory and kitchen
drains attach TO these devices, and is
from time to time removed and trans
formed into pure Orange County butter,
which is reported to be ''unobjectionable
so far as taste and appearance are con-
Derned." If such is indeed fact En-
Elish supremacy is secured. With her
Dover chalk cliffs she can supply pure
milk and cream, while the Thames mud
can furnish pure butter all the year
round to the fastidious cockneys Of the
British metropolis.
