Insignificant total of 50-25 on the active

pay ranging from $1,000 to %, 900 year.
The % retired, Of course, do nothing ex-
cept growl over the ingratitude Of repnb-
lies, and of the % on the active list not
one is at sea. There are 66 captains In
all, of whom 80 are on the active list.
They draw pay ranging between $500
and s4 800 a year. Only 10 of the cap
tains ON the active list are required 10
command ships at sea. We have 102
commanders, 80 of whom are on the ac-
the 50, only % are commanding ships
On of these is receiving ship and
and another a schooLship. The rest, re-
marks the Sun, are stroiling about navy
yards, studying torpedo science-that is
tiourishing at Newport hops and archery
parties lying on the sofas in bureau Of
fees; doing inspecting or fancy duty of
some sort; OF playing the part of men of
leisure on leave of absence. Summing
up, the Sun finds that we are supporting,
most of them in actual or comparative
idleness, 1,6A officers on the active list
of the navy, and 264 on the retired list,
who do nothing whatever except growl
because they are not even better of.
And all this force of officers is kept up,
at an expense of three or four millions a
year, to command 1900 seamen and
score or two of ships.

The amount of money lost by the

greatly in excess of that lost under the
old State Bark system, from the iounda-
ton OF the government up to the time OF
the rebellion. And the losses were five
tunes more Injurious because they fell
heavier on few, sometimes carrying
away all that widow or an orphan pos

AND now the remnant of the Republi-

the temperance cause by running it into
politics, as was the case in 1915. If by
the help of the Greenback Republicans
and few weakened Democrats they
should succeed in electing one or two
men to the Legislature, we don't sec that
1t would amount to anything; since

AS Uncle Remus came up White

passed between them, but their cx-

the attention of q wandering police

THE FATE OF FLOATING WRECKS,

If nature mnde no provision for
the removal of floating wreck from
the surface of the ocean, dangers of
navigation would increase in a fear
full ratio floating hulls, spars and
masts would soon cover the sea. TO
effect the removal of floating wood
three species of small marine ami
mails play most important part.
Suppose we have ships spar drift
ing down upon the waves. A small
creature, known as the barnaclc,
soon discovers it and attaches itself
thereto, and as these little creatures
exist in immense numbers, the tim
ber speedily becomes covered with
them. On examining them at this
stage we shall find that they are
attached to the timber by means of
tube not unlike the windpipe of a
chicken, this tube being filled with
u liquid, whilst from the shell pro-
trudes series of twenty-four hairy
claws or tentacles. Each Joint Of
the latter is arched, md furnished
with rows of hair on it's concave side
80 much like feathers that it is pros
Pably from their appearance that tho
first idea of the barnacle goose was
derived. The effect of the barnaclo
is to sink the log. When in mid
water or at the bottom it is attacked
and riddled through by two little
wood-boring worms, the pholas
and the teredo. The teredo 7,ovolis.
or calampitas aaaviatne, works it's way
through hard planks, and lines tho
tunnel as it goes with hard, ivory
like shell. Thus, then, the barna-
cies and wood worms unto to work
the destruction Of wreckage; for,
borne down by the one, it is speedi-
~ riddled by the others, until it
falls to pieces by the action of the
waves and becomes lost.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL. IT
RJPENS.

There is a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Underhill, the well-known
grape-grower Of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind. that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market. and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for a settlement
of the estate and the sale OF the wines on
hand: Among these Is wine Of the vintage
than any other European vine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
fanciers have a special interest in 1t as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stockis In the
hands Of the well-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Tribune,
NoO. z9, 1877.
The above speaks for itself, but we would
add chat this is the pure juice Of the grape,
neither d,mgeea, Hqnoyed nor aOate,Sd;' that it
has been ripencd and mellowed by age, and
for medicinal or sacramental purposes it Is
unsurpassed. 1t can be obtained from most
