VESSELS OF WIR or ILL NITIONS
BUT ONE,


The number of vessels of war of all
the maritime nations amounted in 1876,
according to some official statistics lately
published in Germany, to 2, ,039, of which
209 were iron-clads. The armament
comprised 290, 900 men and ID, 900 guns;
ITO war vessels, including 56 iron-clads,
were in course of construction. The
share of Germany in the worlds navy
was 81 ships I'll being iron-clads)-2
frigates, corvettes, gunboats, 10 YES
sells fitted with screws (of which 4 are
corvettes, 3 tenders, and are vessels
with torpedoes). As regards the num-
Der of vessels which they possess, the
different nations rank as follows: En-
gland, France, Russia, Turkey, Austria,
Germany, Italy, Spain, Holland, Den
mark, Sweden and Norway, Portugal
Italy and Germany rank together by rea-
son of the great number of vessels they
have lately constructed. The Gazette
d4ugs6oury, commenting on these fig
ures, expresses hope that Germany,
who finds herself at present sixth on the
list, viii occupy the fourth place as soon
as the vessels she is building are COM
pleted, and will rank even third possibly
in 1882, when the programme which she
has drawn up for herself viii be carried
into execution. The United States navy
is ignored altogether.

BEHIND THE SCENES.

"Four O'Clock, and no Ellen yet !
What can detain her so? She is usually
more punctual than the clock itself
It was scarcely room in which La1lrs,
Avery was sitting magnificent
bay-window, with draperies of embroid-
cred lace.
Poor Ellen" she murmured, chow
differently our lots have been ordered in
this world Her parents dead-their
wealth irretrievably lost, and she too
proud to accept cent that she has not
laboriously earned. Oh, dear ~ and
Laura sighed again, just as the clock S
liquid voice chimed the half hour
"She doesn't come ~ soliloquized the
puzzled little damsel "There's some
thing the matter. Perhaps she's sick
oh, dear she must be sick. I'll send
James to inquire-no, I'll go myself"
Before the words were out of her lips,
she was up in her own room, adjusting a
soft, gray shawl over her black silk dress,
and tying the strings of quiet little
rose, among its trimmings of enameled
moss, was not unlike the bloom of her
own cheek.

threatening sky, as she drew on her per

peted vestibule, servant approached

GA note, Miss Laura; it came five
minutes ago"
All The rose was several shades il
the background now, as she broke the
scented seal, and glanced over the deli
cate, cream-colored sheet, with bright
suppressed smile dimpling the corners O
, her mouth. Yet the note was very
simple one after all:
/ My DEAR Miss AVERY: May promise my
| self the pleasure of accompanying you to heal
/ the opera tonight? Unless 1 receive
message to forbid me, will call for you a
half-past Z. Your most devoted slave and sub
/ jecf, FLoRIAN RIcHLEY
Laura instinctively slipped the note
into her bosom, as if fearful lest the very
picture on the wall should catch sigh
of the elegant chirography, and pursued
her way down the gloomy street, will

THE SUNS ENERGY.

With reference to the energy of the
sun, Professor TAFT, of Edinburgh Uni
versity, says But even when we
have arrived at the conclusion that we
have to thank the sun for all our food,
we are not at the end of our inquiry.
The suns energy had source 1t used
to be thought that the sun was huge
fire, but, from the progress made by
modern chemical knowledge, we are able
to say that fire of the dimensions of
the sun, 400, 900 miles in radius, even if
it had consisted of the very best mate
rials for giving out heat, would only
have supplied us with the amount of
energy at present radiated for 5000
years. But if, ON the other hand, we
suppose a mass of combustibles to be
let fall upon the sun from the distance
of our earth, the attraction of the sun
would give it SO large an amount of
kinetic energy when it reached the sun s
surface as to cause an impact which
would represent 5000 times the amount
of energy which could be produced by
its mere burning

TVENTY-TUO TEIRS IN PRISON.

TW-ENTT-TWO TEIRS IN PRISON.
The Hartford COuraat tells story of
long imprisonment, as sfollows: "Twenty-
two years ago a young man IN New Ha-
ven was engaged to marry young lady
there. For some reason she transferred
her promise to marry, if not her affec-
tions, to another person. The first
suitor, who was a respectable mechanic,
disapproved of the match, and declared
that his rival was q disreputable person,
who would lead his affianced wretched
life, and that, while he could surrender
her himself, he would rather she should
die than marry that man. Accordingly,
and, as he said, solely to save her from
the awful fate of such degrading mar
riage, he killed the girl He did not at
tempt to conceal his deed; he justified it,
and regarded himself as the savior of the
girls happiness. He was tried for muir
der and acquitted on the ground of insan-
ity, although he stoutly denied that he
was insane, and said that he had acted
upon lllS COOl CO1NICtIOH VI "11eAe "e'o
best for the girl, and was ready to suffer
the penalty of the law for the homicide.
Acquitted, he was remanded to the
county jail by the court he remained
there seven years, all the while protest
ing that he was in his right mind, and
that the State should either hang him for
murder or release him. He was then
transferred to the State prison at Weth-
ersfeld, by what authority it does not
| appear, under no sentence. There he
has remained until this day, III the same
state of mind, apparently rational on all
subjects except that he insists
that he had a right to kill the girl
to save her from dishonor and that il
the State thought otherwise, it should
have punished him as murderer. This
is the story of Willard Clarke, who has
now petitioned the Assembly to remove
him from the State prison to the insane
asylum at Middletown. If he is insane
that is where he belongs. If he is sane
! he has right to his liberty.

DAY AND MIGHT

DAY AND NIGHT.
Day is a gorgeous butterfly,
That hovers aloft in the azure sky;
Night is a beetle, grim and black,
That rolls the world on its ebon track,

Its shallow thoughts are foam O. th' sea;
My thoughts are priceless pearls that.grow,

GAIN AND LOSS.
One pirates OF gain, and one of lose,
But neither knows the gold from dross;
They use the idle words in vain
For gain is loss, and loss is gain,
CURSES AND BLESSINGS.

But the blithe little crickets are chirping still,

So babies creep nursery floors
Old men crutches do methnks-
This is the meaning of the Sphynx.

All, surly March. you've come aSsis,
With sleet and snow, and hail and rain;
Cold earth beneath, dark sky above you,
What have you, pray, to make us love you?
No month is half so rough you;
December winds less harshly blew;
What churlish ways! what storIn-tossed
tresses
Your pr 5sence every one distresses!
Haste, haste away We longing wait
To greet fair April at our gate.
Cold earth beneath, dark sky above you,
Surely you've naught to make us love you!
~ All, see these blossoms ~ he replied,
Tossing his hail-torn cloak aside,
- Though other months have flowers a-many,
Say, are not mine as fair as any?
See, peeping from each dusky fold,
The crocus with its cup of gold;
Violets, snowdrops white and Silly,
Sweeter than any summer lily
And underneath the old oak-,eaves
Her fragrant wreath the arb,Itus weaves-
Whatever sky may be above me.
Surely for these all hearts will love me ~
