From the expenditure of such an amount
we might naturally conclude that some sub
stantial benefits should accrue. Yet we find
that there is little to show for the cost-that
we are immeasurably poorer, so far as a
navy is concerned, than we were before the
enormous expenditure noted was undertak-
en-. We find that, during the eight years
term of Mr.. Robson, thirty one ships,
whose original cost was $13,775,83752,
were sold for S542, 524.47; and twenty ships
that cost the government S12,e14, sso.45,
we're broken up and sold for $54l, S31.16.
1t Is not possible to conceive that such a
waste of the public moneys could be
wrought without purpose inconsistent with
honesty. Had the money appropriated for
the maintenance Of the navy been honestly
employed, and contractors held to rigid &C.
| countability, we might to-day boast of a
navy unsurpassed upon the seas, instead of
being obliged to take sixth place, as at pres
ent.
These being the facls, can any honest
man question the propriety of the report
of the Congressional committee
recommending the Indictment of ex-
Secretary Robson for misfeasance in Office?
To presume that he was honest in all these
matters is great tax upon the credulity of
the public. When man builds vessel end
destroys it before it is put in service, the
supposition is that his work has been de-
fective Or that he is in collision with per-
sons who wish to defraud the government
Whichever horn Mr.. Robson may grasp he
cannot avoid Indictment for malfeasance
The general opinion will be that the COM
mittee has allowed him too much latitude;
that its fault has been too great moderation.

Philadelphia North American.

A private letter just received gives the
sad incidents Of the wretched fate of
poor Henry Leland, the American az

seized revolver from a table near by

and asked him not to do SO, for she was
afraid "There is nothing to be afraid
of, it is not loaded" he said. MATS

he placed the revolver at his head, pull

returned he had fallen to the floor.
They lifted him up and laid him on a
bed, and one of them ran for doctor
When they returned be had stopped
breathing. He was entirely unconscious
after the shooting, and never spoke
again. The revolver being examined,
was found to be a five barrel weapon,
and the second chamber only WAS

was just about to be married, and to
suppose that she had been playing with
the revolver, and it had gone off in her
hands, and to have told the story from
fright would have necessitated no end

Health and Slow Pulse.

Some interesting statements are re-
ported to have been made at meeting
of the Clinical Society, London, showing
that slow pulse may in nowise inter
fere with health. The most remark
able case, perhaps, was that of DR..
Hewan, as related by himself. 1t
seems that twenty-one years ago, after
prolonged study and work, his pulse
fell from seventy to fifty-fve, and he
felt very cold; from that time it's fire.
quency gradually decreased until about
eleven years later, when it was but
twenty-four beats per minute. It's
present rates are about twenty-eight.
Notwithstanding this, he has not suf-
fered from fainting fits or colds; is cap
able of great physical exertion-of
which evidence. is to be found in his
ascent of a high mountain and his
digestion remains unimpaired Another
speaker said that Napoleon had slow
pulse, being about thirty to forty per
minute; and another stated the rate of
horses pulse to be only Sixteen.

DiDhtheria.

A Bridgeport physician sends to the
Standard the following: Our advice to
parents is-for this is mostly disease
of childhood-protect the feet. legs and
bodies of your children well, by suita-
BILE clothing. Give them plain, substan-
tial food, plenty of rest, with fresh air
and sunshine Discard late hours and
exciting amusements and too hot rooms.
If your child takes cold, keep it at home
in Il pleasantly-warmed room, and adj
NIT sunlight freely. If with the cold
there is some sore throat, use simple
remedies to promote perspiration and
water compress about the throat. In
the meantime keep vigilant watch of
the throat, and upon the first appear
ance of white or gray patches send for
your physician. Do not put it off to
see if it will not get we'll itself. Twelve
hours may decide the fate of your child
thorough, efficient medica-
ton at this stage Of the disease will
rarely fail of success; later the system
may be too depressed to respond to any
remedies.

The GeOdetic Association.

The International Geodetic Associa-
ton Of Europe has just published re-
port of its proceedings for 1876. The
laborers Of this association comprise
full and free discussion of geodesy in
all its branches, ard delegates are sent
to its congress from all the enlightened
nations Of Europe. There was no rep
resentative from the United States, and
this was grave mistake, and our Coast
Survey is universally acknowledged to
be in no way inferior to the best of
similar organizations in Europe. The
next meeting Of the Association will
take place in October of this year at
Stattgast, Germany. The United States
ought to have an accredited represen-
tative at the conference Our Govern
ment has had occasion to survey more
extensive tracts of land and to measure
a longer line of coast than any other
country, and the methods and instru-
ments employed here could not fail to
interest foreigners. We hope that the
Coast Survey will send an accomplished
geodescist to the congress.

Marrying for Money.

A late author very truthfully says:
"Gold cannot buy happiness, and the
parents who compel their daughters to
marry for station or money commit a
grevious sin against humanity and God
And woman who marries churl for
his wealth will find that she has made
a terrible bargain-that all the glitter
ings of heartless grandeur are phos-
phorescent gatherings of heart-wretch-
edness; that her life will be one of gildl
ed misery, and her old age viii be
like crag on the black side Of a desert
mountain, where cold moonbeans
sometime glitter, but no birds sing. but
wild storms howl and hoarse thunders
roar, and through the sweeping storms
shall be heard the stern voice Of the
great God, saying, Your riches are cor
rupted, your garments are moth-eaten,
your gold and silver are cankered, and
the rust Of them shall be witness
against you, and eat your flesh as if it
were fire."

curls streaming out in the wind, or rip

How the Chinese Make Tea.

2 The upper classes in China, from very
long experience % in the matter, select
the choicest tea which they can afford
generally the young leaves from the
old trees. A few Of these leaves are
put into cup, and water, little short
of the boiling point, is added. AS soon
as it is sufficiently cool, which does not
take many seconds, for the cups are
very small, the beverage is quaffed,
much after the same manner as the
Turks do coffee, SO hot that it is COM
monty asserted they drink it boiling.
By the above quick method they skim,
as it were, only the superficial flavor of
the leaf, which is very capable of yield
ing up, when required, bitter extract
which they avoid. This is the prime
source where the used leaves" spoken
of by analysts, come from.

Botanical knowledge.

A knowledge of botany is most impor-
tant Botany is the science of plants
the knowledge of plants. 1t must,
therefore, have a close relation to their
culture. 1t treats also of the natural
relation of plants to each other The use
of botany to horticulture is apparent,
giving new varieties of vegetables to the
gardener, new shrubs and flowers,
knowledge how to transplant, when to
do so; the climate, soil, etc, suitable to
diffe1en plants, etc. Botany treats of
the structure Of plants, and therefore
the modes of their nourishment or man
ner of feeding. The structure of the
leaf informs us that it is feeder to the
plant, by drawing certain materials
from the atmosphere, whilst it yields
others to it. The structure Of the stems
of plants is also connected with their
growth, in which exists a system of yes
sells constituting a vascular system, by
means Of which the elaborated food is
supplied to the plant. y..
The structure of roots is another i'm
portant practical point which enables
the plant to draw sustenance from the
soil. Some spread the roots over the
surface to great distance. Some
strike deep into the soil, requiring differ
ent kinds Of soil. Wheat requires stiff
clay soil; its roots strike deep, therefore
plough deep; the turnips a light soil,
therefore tighten. your clay soil if you
want a crop.
Different kinds of plants also indicate
to the skillful observer different kinds of
soil, He could tell from the plants what
kind of rocks were to be found where
they grew. -r.- ..... ... .s
The thistle indicates rich and pro-
ductiye soil. In the valley of Virginia,
famous for its fertility, you will often
see entire fields Of blue thistle. The
farmers regard it as a fertilizer, and
plough it in when preparing fallow for
wheat. .az.- .la,~... "a
Trees Indicate different varieties of
soil. Beech, on a light soil, indicates
fine cotton land in the south. The ma
pie, light and superior kind Of soil.
Habits of plants are important, espe-
cially those that are obnoxious, so that
we can know best how to exterminate
them. The vitality of seed is of inn
portance. We all knew how difficult it
is to exterminate the wild onion, which
tlavors milk, butter, and even the flesh
of the animal itself. Wheat found with
an Egyptian mummy, supposed to have
been 5000 years old, when sown proved
to be productive ssaE 4a,l g
Then there are mildew, smut and rust,
SO destructive to crops. Botanists have
discovered how they grow, what they
are, how they propagate, how they get
into the plant and seed, and how they
may be exterminated- DIR. MARTIN P.

RECENT advices reporta continued de-
pressing condition of affairs in the
Sheffield, England, iron trade; but &C
cording to the English correspondence
of the Pittsburg american Manwfaoauer,
the steel-rail trade is in promising
condition, The correspondent says:
'SThe steelrail trade: however, continues
very satisfactory, at least five out of
the seven mills going being fairly and
some of them fully employed. One of
the English lines has given out a con-
tract that will not be completed in six
months, by a concern which can turn
out over one thousand tons weekly.
In recent competitions for steel-rail
contracts, prices have been cut very
fine; in one instance, week. ago, a
capital order having been secured by a
difference of only 1Od. ton. In
another not very remote competition,
the difference was as much as IS. ton
between the two lowest tenders. It is
estimated that the full productive pow
ers Of Sheffield steel-rail mills are now
equal to between seven thousand and
eight thousand tons weekly, and it is
probable that the actual present output
is between four thousand and five thous-
and tons week. ~ s,x
