Only Two.

A sad-nosed, red-eyed man stuck his
head into the Petroleum World Office
and said:
"There are only two public characters
in all this country that are not afraid of
their records"
Hancock and English, I suppose, :"
suggested a reporter.
"Naw, sir.
"Garfeld and Arthur? 2"
"Naw, sir.
"Weaver and Chambers
"Naw, sir.
The reporter knew from the appear
ance of the stranger that it would be use
less to suggest the Prohibition candi-
dates, and SO gave it up, remarking
that if there were two public characters
of their records he would be glad to
know it.
The stranger backed over the thresh-
old, pulled the door almost to, and re-
marked, in a stage whisper:

Nayies of the World.

There is often an uneasy suspicion
abroad that the sums which we are called
upon to pay for QUIZ national defense,
and which every one admits to be of
formidable amount, are not very wisely
expended. Fears are from time to time
expressed that we get exceedingly little
for our money, and that we might largely
diminish our expenditure without caus-
ing our forces to fall below the standard
Of efficiency, which is thought quite high
enough by our great Powers. The best
way Of seeing what return we can get for
our money, and if it be reasonably suffi-
Gent, is to compare the duties which our
forces are expected to perform and the
expense attending them with the same in
the case of foreign powers. The naval
expenditures of the chief maritime States
is as follows: England, 910, $50, 9C3;
France, G7,252, 839; United States. e.
100000; Russia, 93, $50, 1868; Germany,
95, 286, 839; Italy, FL, 772,675; Austria,
9845, 264 The English expenditure is
about one-third higher than that of
France, and more than double that OF
any other power. But the object sup
posed to be insured by it differs consid-
erably in the several countries. IF
chief object of keeping up naval force
be the protection of the maritime COM
merce, We should find that to protect
one hundred tons of merchant shipping
sailing under the national flag costs an
nually in France, 9778; Russia, 1884;
Austria, 9256; Germany, 9214; Italy,
9187; United States, 9175; England,
ELS. To protect every 81, 900 worth of
seaborne imports and exports takes in
Russia about 935 18s. Austria, G28 los;
France, e26 6s.; Italy, EOS 8s.; Ger
many, e22 16s; United States, Ell 6s. !;
England, II 5s. In none of the above
cases has the trade of colonial de-
tendencies, other than with the mother
country been taken into account, or the
figures for England would fall relatively
lower. At the same time it has been i'm
possible to show any pecuniary value for
the duty of providing against invasion,
which the navy of an insular State has to
carry ont, or of securing the import of a
large portion Of the necessary food sup
ply of the inhabitants. The figures as yet
given show only the outlay for the pur-
pose of securing the amount which each
country thinks it desirable to expend Cd
it than the cost of the agents and instru-
ments by means of which it is carried
out The outlay may be more or less
than necessary; as hitherto stated, 1t
tells us nothing concerning economy OF
performance. Mall Gazette.

Some Feats in Swimming.

Somewhat over 40 years ago a seaman
belonging to her Majesty's ship Orestes
threw himself overheard as a means of
escaping punishment for some offense.
| He was picked up by fishing boat seven
! hours afterward off the coast of Spain,
and stated that he had been swimming
toward the land all the time. About the
same period two men swan up the river
Mersey from Liverpool to Runcorn.
They accomplished the distance in some
thing bss than four hours. Passing over
long interval, during which many swims
were recorded of few hours duration,
we come to the more recent exploits of
Capt. Webb, certainly the most remark
able swimmer of whom we have anthem
tic record. After some notable achieve
ments in the Irish sea, he undertook the
astonishing feat of swimming across the
whole breadth OF the English channel,
despite its very rough sea. On the first
attempt he could only reach part of the
way, and was for safety brought back
by an attendant steamer. His second
attempt in 1875 was quite successful; he
swan for nearly % hours continuously,
from Dover to the French coast near Cal
ais; he was supplied occasionally with
refreshments by persons near at hand,
but he never touched boat or ground
during this prolonged interval. In the
same year young damsel, Miss Agnes
Beckwith, daughter of Beckwith, the
teacher of swimming, gave clear proof
that the weaker sex is strong enough to
achieve remarkable results in this art;
she swan down the Thames from London
bridge to Greenwich, amid the crowded
shipping of that part of the river. In
spirit of emulation, Emily Parker,
daughter of another professional swim
mer, slightly exceeded Agnes Beckwith's
distance by swimming from London
bridge to Blackwell. Cavil, another
swimming master, accomplished the dis
lance from Dover to Ramsgate: he was
six hours and half doing the feat, but
he was more distressed with the heat of
the sun beating down upon his head and
the sunshine glazing into his eyes than
with fatigue. Quite recently the London
public have been astonished by proofs of
the great length of time that persons
can remain floating with or without
swimming. At the Westminster aqua
rum is large tank constructed for the
temporary reception of a live whale. In
this tank Agnes Beckwith remained
afloat for 80 hours without touching
ground or sides of the tank, singing a
little and occasionally reading news
paper to pass away the dreary monotony,
and taking refreshments handed to her.
The water had strong infusion of salt
thrown in to increase its buoyancy. Since
that time Capt. Webb has eclipsed every
thing else of the kind known. In the re-
cent month of May he remained in the
whale tank no less than 60 hours con-
tinuously, floating all the time, and never
touching sides or bottom. From CHAM

Of a scared wolf, while roar of laugh
ter followed on the wind behind him.
Toenumerate all the desperate achieve
ments of Jack Smith would fill volumes.
He fought two land spectators at once
rich men, who were buying up the
homes OF the poor-and slew them both.
He was ever foremost in campaigns
against the Indians. He was father to
the orphan and a husband to the be-
reaved widow. His own wife loved him
with deep, devoted passion. His two
beautiful daughters worshiped him as a
being more than mortal, and every one
OF his fifty slaves was always ready to
lay down his life for his protection.
Marvellous phenomenon, truly! What
the man of vengeance, so fierce and
fearful to his foes-whose dwelling was
surrounded by the bones of the dead.
and the very ,intels of whose doors were
stained with blood-spots-who was ugly
as satyr, and hardly less hairy than a
black bear-to possess heart within
his bosom Notwithstanding, heart to
love, and to be adored by those blessed
angels Of the altar whose heaven is the
hearthstone of the beloved
He has now teen dead more than
twenty years, but his memory still
blooms green and fresh in the souls of
the poor, who, forgetting all the cruel
ties to others, feel only that their tender
est, truest friend has gone away from
the earth.
Yes. he is gone-that most terrible
duelist that the old monster Time ever
saw and conquered! He was buried, by
his own previous order, like some wild,
savage war-chief, with his rifle in his
hand, and his long knife naked on his
bosom
Let no one gaze into the deep, dark
night, where the dead man vanished, OF
gaze only with that eye of hoping, trust
full love, which, self-luminous as living
star, can irradiate with eternal brilliance
the mournfulest gloom-the blackness
of sin-and even the sunless sable of Che
grave.
