The Remains OF EugIand's wooden
Walls.

The eldest vessel, indeed. in Ports
mouth harbor is Nelson's Victory, the
only ship which the sentiment Of the ma.
ton will never allow to be broken up.
She is one hundred aud eleven years OF
age. She is no. the first Of the name, a
previous Victory, as great but not so for.
tunate as herself, having been lost at sea
with a thousand hands.
Next to the Victory in point Of age is
probably the St. Vincent, now a training
ship; after her the Excellent, formerly
called the Queen Charlotte, whose launch
vas signahzed by an accident which
caused the drowning of fifty people; the
Carnatic and Malabar, now black old
hulks, once gallant ships Of Nelson's
time, though not of Nelson's fleets.
Then comes C~odington's flagship at
Navarino, the Asia, an old Indian.built
teak ship; there is the Bellegophon,
which received Napoleon; half a dozen
splendid old th~ree-deckers: which, like
the Donegal, Glasgow aud Victoria, have
seen the blue water on a single trip; or
else, like the Camperdown, have lain for
gotten by the Admiralty, and actually
never been to sea at all.
Among the other relics of bygone
fashions there is the Aclaon, the last
ship ever built for The navy; the
poor old 0beron, which once did good
service cutting out s%lavers, now con-
demned to be a target for torpadoes;
there is perhaps the last Of the old French
prizes still aacat, the Blonde, captured
in the tine when if o war ship came back
to Plymouth or Portsmouth without her
prize she was felt to have disgraced her
self; and alongside the modern royal
bright and dainty with gliding
and paint, lies the Royal George-not
the old line Of battle ship which went
down with the flag Of KempeDfeldt, and
dragged down with her twice four hun.
ired men-but a ship rugged, square
built craft, designed for King George III,
in which his granddaughter Queen Vic.
toria, made her first voyage to Scotland.

A good anecdote is related Of a
lady at a party whose dress and
form were faultless. Just before
dinner an admirer offered her a
flower from his button-hole. The
dress being fastened behind the
flower had to be adjusted with a
pin. Just then they went down to
dinner, and the gentleman thought
he heard a noise as though wind
were escaping from a bellows. The
lady had soon lost her fair proper
tions, and the tightly-ftting dress
was most baggy. It appears that
the latest fashion for thin ladies'
dresses is an air tight lining blown
out to the proper size. The pin
put to keep the flower in had pene-
trated the alright lining and caused
a grand collapse,

rHe REDUCEp sTREEr.cLR rARE.

Whether the act of the legislature
reducing the street-car fare is con
stitutional or not, it is the law and
must SO stand until repealed or de-
clared unconstitutional. The com
pany, as we think, made a serious
mistake in continuing to demand
ten cents fare or a ticket, after the
law took effect, and more particu-
larly in the manner in which this
was done. We have discussed that
before, and would not mention it
now but by way Of contrast with a
better policy recently adopted to
meet the demands of the public.
they found it an uphill business to
defy a whole community, reconsid-
cred the matter and quietly came
down to five cents a ride, the legal
rate. No public order has been
issued, but the drivers no longer
demand more than a nickle or run
the cars off the track when passen-
gers pay only that amount. This
is a fact which it is well enough for
the people to understand. 1t is
quite evident that on account Of
prejudice and popular feel
ing against the management
travel has greatly fallen oil
within the last few weeks. The
course of the drivers and employees
for a few days had a tendency to
keep people off the line. We are
glad to say that all is working
smoothly now under the nickel or
der Of things, and we are ready to
give the company full credit for
this concession, although done so
quietly. 1t affords us pleasure to
find anything to commend in the
management of such e close corpo-
ration, and this is one of the occa-
sions. The rights of the public
secured, we would like to see the
company do a prosperous business,
for a street railroad is a public ne
cessity and an institution in which
every person in the city is more or
less interested. We hope the re-
duction Of fare will so increase
travel as to convince the company
that it is to their interest to ask no
more even if they could.

pAcKARD's ROLE.

1t is pretty evident that tn
President desires to recognize tn,
Nichols government and let Pack
ard drop out. But Packard, en-.
couraged by the Blaines and Wen.
dell Phillips of the North, and being
a man of nerve, has determined to
stand his ground and compel
President Hayes to commit himself
for one or the other if possible.
Like Macbeth, he intends to die
game, and make as much capital as
possible against Hayes. He seems
to entirely misapprehend the great
change that has swept over the
country since Grants time. Hayes
being in and the Republican party
secure for four years, they can af-
ford to kick out the carpet-baggers
whom theyhaye used SO long in the
most unceremonious style. Hayes
does not even answer Packard's
letters. The alliance of Blaine
and the oarpet-baggers is a
weak combination, and when con-
gress meets in extra session it will
scarcely amount to a corporal's
guard. OF the four carpet baggers
in the senate, all desiring patron
age, three will sustain the Presi-
dent. In the house they do not
a dozen and will have no
influence. The Nichols senate has
had a quorum all along; the
house will probably have a
quorum in a day or two, then
the State government is com
plete, the troops will be withdrawn
from Packard's support and Mich
oils recognized. Such is the out
look to-day. Packard sees his end
approaching, and has become inso-
lent and desperate; he will do as
much harm as possible. In his
blind rage he would, like Samson,
pull down the pillars Of the Repub-
lican house and spread ruin all
around. If we are not mistaken
the last carpet-bag government in
the South is undermined and ready
to fall. Its end will be an occasion
Of rejoicing among patriotic citi-
zens all over the country regardless
Of parties, and when this is done,
as it would undoubtedly have been
under Mr.. Tilden, we shall not try
to withhold from Mr.. Hayes any
part Of the credit to which he may
be entitled merely because he is a
and we are not.
