In Austria roasted figs are sold as Il
substitute for coffee. They possess
sweetish- bitter taste, like caramel, and
sometimes taste sour, owing probablyto
the use of inferior or even partially de-
cayed fruit. OF course, though more
enticing than chiccory, this substitute
has none of the qualities valued in coffee,
and in fact the only argument which one
manufacturer has to offer for its use is,
that it is less stimulating than the pure
article!

THE UNITED SI.f TIES FLEET.

The United States home feet, IRON
clads and all, is centering at Port Royal.
This movement, Washington letter
says, is in pursuance of a general plan of
the secretary OF the navy TO make that
place the headquarters of the North At
tages over any other port on the Atlantic
coast The writer adds:
The climate is very healthful, and the
harbor offers every facility for the exer-
else of naval tactics, so that the service
can be kept in thorough discipline. On
one occasion only during the late war
was the yellow fever there, and then for
only very brief period, while at Key
West, the former headquarters of the
station, it was often epidemic and caused
the vessels at that place nearly every
summer to be ordered to Portsmouth.
n. H., or some other northern port where
without delay. The geographical posi-
ton of Port Royal makes it the central
point for the North Atlantic station. and
vessels rendezvoused there can reach
Cuban waters and the gulf, where our in
terests most need to be looked after,
within forty-eight hours. 1t is the poll
cy of the secretary of the navy to make
our home squadron larger than any OF
those abroad, because he believes in be-
ing prepared for any emergency which
may arise out of the present difficulties
on the island of Cuba. While there is
no official announcement in regard to the
condition of affairs between this country
and Spain, it is believed in well informed
circles that the uncertain tenure which
Spain has upon that island may cause
that government to become involved in
a difficulty with the United States when
it sees that it can no longer hold the
island and then parts with it as matter
of necessity. Another reason why YES
sells will be ordered to Port Royal from
northern rivers and harbors where they
have been laid up is to free them from
the ice during the approaching winter.
In case of any difficulties arising it
would not do to have these vessels frozen
up at League island or some other north
ern port, where they could be of no SER
vice; hence the secretary deems it adj
visable to have them at Port Royal,
where there is no danger Of an ice block
ade, and in case of emergency they could
be used with effect.

According to the Louisville CONNER

closely watched in Kentucky than any
where else, and it may be called the

little prophets carefully laid away, and

Mr. John c. Meiggs, the great railroad
builder over the Andes in Peru, has just
arrived from that country with his family
on his way to Europe. He said this
morning that he had had a talk since he
had been in New York with Mr.. Rufus
Hatch, and had told him that an express
line of steamers along the coast of South
America, from Valparaiso to Panama,
would prove paying investment. There
are no American lines there now, and the
foreign lines are run on the accommodate
ton principle. stopping at every port
The average trip consumes twenty-onc
days, just about twice as long as it takes
to go from New York to Liverpool
These steamers are charging eNtravagant
freight and passenger tariffs. Mr.. Hatch
told him that when he was director in
the Board of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company they had sent two agents down
to the South American coast, each of
whom had reported against such prop
osition. "I told him." said Mr. Meiggs,
that it was because the agent did not
get thoroughly acquainted with the re-
sources of the countries. Such a line
would pay well from the start
Mr.. Mciggs said his brothers and his
railroads had been progressing wonder
fully well until the late government

once that the government could not meet

way through tunnel just under the
summit of the mountain, and were now
descending toward the navigable waters
of the Amazon. The roadway was pre-
pared for some distance down the eastern
side of the mountain, but the rails were
not laid quite to the tunnel yet. Our
roadway is now completed to point only

thousand feet and had only one hundred
miles to 90 it in. You can imagine the
amount of climbing our engines have to
do. The chief engineer of the Ghaut
Railroad from Bombay in India heard OF
our road a short time ago, while he was
in Panama, and on the advice of friends
came to see it. gave him every facility
to see the road, though he was very much
inclined to sneer at the stories he had
been told. l did not see him again for a
week. He had spent the time on the
line messing with one engineer after an
other at various points and thoroughly
examining the work. When he came
back he said if any man had told him at
the beginning what the contractors had
undertaken to do he would have said il
was simply impossible. The extreme
cost of construction makes it necessary
to charge the rate of five cents per mile. y

REJIGIOIS PROGRESS.

The facts as to the religious progress
of the United States are very remark
able, and have been collected by Prof.
Denian, of Brown university In l177
the number of churches was less than
go by the census of 1870 the number
was 1000. Churches have multiplied
nearly thirty-seven fold; population,
eleven fold. In 1870, religious societies
owned 1854 ,O0O,0 900 worth Of property.
The most extraordinary increase has
been among the Methodists and Roman
Catholics The rapid rate of increase of
religious bodies might well seem alarm
ing, were it not that the vast amount
of property held by religious organiza-
tions is distributed among many bodies.
4 century ago the Congregationalists
were largely in advance; Methodists
were hardly known by name. Now
Methodists are the largest organization
in the land One hundred years ago the
more important religious bodies were
reckoned i'll the following order; Con-
gregationalsts, Baptists, church of Eng
land, Presbytcrians, Lutherans, German
Reformed, Dutch Reformed, and Roman
Catholics, Christian, Lutherans, Con
gregationalists and Protestant Episc0-
pal The zeal of American christianity
has nowhere expended itself with such
force as it has in founding schools and
colleges, and precisely at this point the
Roman Catholic Church merges into
significance. 1t ranks now as fourth in
population and second for the value oil
church property. 1t has occa,ioned APP,
. prehension, but on insufficient grounds
as reasons for its surprising growth can
be found in foreign immigration. Neither
the church statistics nor the census fur
ish material for anxiety. But coneed
| ing that the ratio of the increase ha:
been great, there is nothing in the
growth of this powerful body which
need excite any apprehension - Ma
