A Lesson In Navigation.

UP one more block, and we come
upon the ships-white ships, black
ships, iron ships, wooden ships, big,
little and medium ships, ships of all
sorts. They all 90 under the general
name of ships, and it is well they do,
for not one New Yorker in a dozen
knows the difference between q bark
and q pleasure yacht, though he goes
down the bay every day in the summer.
Here is good-natured- looking sailor,
leaning against post in a nice sunny
place; he will give us some information
about the ships.
"That there?'' says the sailor, in a
tone that seems to pity our ignorance,
and giving his trousers tremendous
hitch, s'that amt no ship; that's q
brig. Don't you know the difference
atween a ship and brig? Why, bless
you. ship-but can't talk too much;
my throat troubles me. This here dry
air parches it up, like, and II
There are 50 many establishments in
the nedghborhoOd for the moistening of
parcked throats that this difficulty ia
sooRremedied, and the sailor invites

.upturDed yawl, where we will be shell
tered from the wind, while he explains
the mystery of briggs and barks.
"lt's shame" says he. that you
landsmen don't know more about ships.
Now, we sailors know church from q
hotel-most of us-andr why shouldn't
you know more about our houses? I'll
tell you. That there vessel there's q
ship, an I'll tell you why: because she
has three masts and square sails.
That's what makes her ship. If she
was only as big as this here yawl, and
that's not very big, and had three masts
and square sails, she'd still be ship
rugged. The first mast, up by the bow
spirit, is the fcSe-mast, the middle one
is the main-mast, and the last is the
mizzen-mast. Each of these here masts
is subdivided, as the school-masters
say, into three parts: the lower mast,
the top-mast, and the to'-gallant mast.
Now you know more about navigation
than old Captain Skittle did, when he
run the Three Sisters on q rock.

ANOTHER blow Is about to be struck
at the Royal Marriage act. II we may
trust the rumors which reach Us OF the
betrothal of Prince Leopold, the young
est son of Queen Victoria, to the most
brilliant beauty and greatest heiress OF

Frances-Evelyn Maynard, the eldest
daughter of the late Hon. Charles May
nard. son and heir Of the late Viscount
Maynard, of Essex. who predeceased.
his father in January, 1865. Lord
Maynard, q descendant of the great
lawyer, died three months after his,
son, when his titles became extinct and.
his great estate passed to his eldest
granddaughter, the young lady who Is
now said to be engaged to Prince Leo
p0ld. Miss Maynard has just entered
her nineteenth year. and on her presen-
tafion at q recent Drawing Room held
by the Queen she seems to have taken
London by storm, not only by her ex-
traordinary beauty but by grace and
stateliness which are not always the
leading characteristics of British debu-
tantes. The fashionable chroniclers
went into ecstasies over the way in
which she made her g courtesy to the
Queen" an operation which is very apt
to disconcert the most self-possessed Of
young women when it has to be per-
formed in robe with sweeping train
and under the concentrated stare of q
small regiment of her sister-women.
She is said also to be as accomplished
and amiable as she is lovely and grace
full, and as she comes into estates val
ued at f30,0OO year, the rents of
which have been accommodating for her
ever since her grandfather's death in
1865, it must be admitted that Queen
Victoria might do worse for her only
bachelor son than to provide him With

Tributes Of Men Of Genius to Their
Mothers.

SAYS Jean Paul Richter: Know you
what especially impels me to industry
My mother. I shall endeavor to sweeten
part of her life, that otherwise has
been so unfortunate, and lessen by my
help and sympathy the great sorrows
she has suffered. To her alone owe
the foundation of my mind and heart.
George Herbert said: One good
mother is worth hundred school
masters. In the home she is loadstone
to all hearts and loadstar to all eyes.
De Maistre, in his writings, speaks of
his mother with immense love and rev.
erence. He described her as his ''sub-
lime mother" can angel, to whom
God had lent body for q brief season"
To her he attributed the bent of his
character, and her precepts were the
ruling influence of his life.
/. One charming feature in the charac-
ter of Samuel johnson (notwithstand-
ing his rough exterior) was the tender
ness with which he invariably spoke of
his mother, who implanted in his mind
his first impressions of religion. In the
time of his greatest difficulties he con-
tributed out of his slender means to her
comfort.
CromwelIs mother was woman of
spirit and energy. equal to her mild
ness and patience; whose pride was
honesty, and whose passion was love;
and whose only care, amidst all her
splendor, was for the safety of her son
in his dangerous eminence.
. Curran speaks with great affection of
his mother, to whose counsel, piety and
ambition he attributed his success in
life. He used to say. If ! possess any
thing more valuable than face, or per-
son, or wealth, it is that dear parent
gave her child portion from the treas
ure of her mind"
It was AIRY Scheffer's mother whose
beautiful features the painter so loved
to reproduce in his pictures, that by
great self-denial provided him with the
means of pursuing the study of art.
Michelet writes: II lost my mother
thirty years ago; nevertheless she fol-
lows me from age to age. She suffered
with me in my poverty and was not
allowed to share my better fortune"
Napoleon Bonaparte was accustomed
to say that 1.-The future good or bad
conduct of q child depended entirely on
the mother" Nobody had any COM
mand over him except his, mother, who.
found means, by a-mixtpre of tender
ness, severity and justice. to make him
love, respect and obey hef.
Goethe owed the bias Of bis mild and,
character to his mother. wR66fpusssjse
in q high degree the art of stimulating
young and active minds. --s4She was
worthy of Ifey,' once SAID. Goethe, and
when he visited Frankfort ke sought
out every individual who had been kind
to her, and thanked them III.
John Randolph said;' ''fsh06ld have
been an atheist ifeit had not been for
one recollection. and that waaS tn
memory of the time when my mother
used to take my little hand in hers, and
cause me on my knees to say, Our
Father who art in Heaven"
