THE WAR AN OPPORTUNITY.

THE WAR AN OPPORTUNITY.
We can see plainly how Engiand's
difficulty might thus become the oppor-
tunity of the United States. Russia's wa
fleet would he no match for that of Eng
land; but if two or three of Russia's
swittest corvetfes should play the rover
on the high seas like the Alabama, Geor-
gia and Sumter of Confederate memory,
they could destroy or frighten off Eng
lish commerce from the tracks which it
now almost monopolizes. There would be
general scramble among English ship
owners to sell out to Americans, and
Americans would be ready to buy at fair
prices, because our neutral bottoms would
then be sought for the carrying trade be-
tween the two worlds. We have not
now the ships to do this business. They
cannot he built in time for it. We must
get them from England the great ship
market, or nowhere. Never again in our
generation can there be a better chance
to recover the great loss of the past fifteen
years than that which may now be pre-
sented at any moment; and the one sole
means by which this country can recu-
perate herself as a maritime power is by
making the trade in ships free. Half or
halting measures of relief will only miss
the grand prize which Providence may
now soon put within our reach.

as follows: One for Name, New Hamp-

Though anagrams are NOT the
grandest productions of human gen.
ius, yet the ingenuity sometimes dis
played, in compounding some new
word characteristic Of the original, is
quite surprising. For example: As
trnnomers, moon-starers; Peniten-
tiary, nav, | repent it; Radical Re
form. rare made frolic; Presbyterian,
best in prayer; Gallantries, all great
sin; Oid England, golden land. Ed.
itors, so tired. Some years ago there
was an eminent physician in London
whose name, John Abernethy, on ac-
count of his bluntness and rougnness,
was metamorphosed into "Johnny
the Bear" Doubtless not few per-
sons we're confirmed in their adher-
cnce to the Pretender to the British
throne, by the coincidence of Charles
James Stuart with his anagram: He
asserts a true claim. One of the
prcttiest of modern anagrams is the
following:
"FLoRENcE NIGHTINGALE,
