felt in a time of prosperity, became burden
too great to be borne. Our shipowners became
discouraged, and other fields for employment
of capital offering greater inducements they
commenced to dispose of their ships to foreign
ors, ceased contracting for new ships and trans
ferred their energies and money to more remun
erative employments. Thus have our largest
and most enterprising shipping firms gradually
abandoned the business. A considerable num-
Der of our shipbuilding firms have either
failed in the business or have experienced such
losses as have caused them to discontinue. The
following figures will show to what an alarm
ing extent this has prevailed:

Continuing he said that while these figures
prove the serious decay of our shipping inter
ests they show the increase in trade of the
country. Inc latter is as gratifying as the
former is humlliating. 1t will be noticed that
IN 1850 there was carried in American vessels
nearly three fold the amount that was taken
by foreign vessels, and that in 1879 this was re-
versed so that our vessels only carried less than
one-lhird as much as was taken by foreign
shipping. At thu present time SO per cent. of
the tonnage of the country is EMPLOYED i'm
coastwise trade. The coastwse and inland
navigation of the country has increased with
the growth of population and as all foreigners
are excluded by law from this trade our ton
mage IN this branch has increased so that
comparison of the tonnage of the country in
different years does not represent the decad-
ence CT our foreign commerce. This is the
manner however in which this is usually pre-
sented by the Secretary of the Treasury i'm
his reports: In 1850 the total tonnage of the
country was 3,535 900 tons; in 1860, 1858 600
tons in 1870, LAG, 900 tons; in 1879, 1863 900
TONS 1t will thus be seen that while the coast
wise trade has largely increased the total tor
mage has largely diminished.
But the chief object of our laws of registra.
tiol is to protect and encourage shipbuilding
in the United States. For many years there
was no necessity of protection because we
were able to build ships cheaper and better
than any other nation and we built ships for
the nations OF Europe. Eng!an had long en-
Joyed supremacy upon the seas, but the child
was successfully competing with the parent in
1860. Just prior to our civil war our tonnage
equalled that of Great Britain. 1t was an
achievement of which the nation was Justly
proud. Our ships were found in every port
and obtaining freight upon equal terms with
the most favored countries. In some ports
they commanded the preference. At the close
of the war and for many wears later wages
were high, building material was expensive
and in place of our country being able to PRO
duce ships more cheaply than any other it be-
came the dearest place to build Shipbuildiug
was continued though on smaller scale
Owners soon found that not only did
the ships cost an excessive price but
the expense of maintaining them was great

Ralph Waldo Emerson.

which is not the case with most men.
He lectured at Concord lately, giving his
hundreth lecture before tie lyceum Of

cheerful and serene, as in earlier years,
but he sees fewer visitors and finds his

Troubles of the Chinese Emperor

The Emperor of China is just now in
a serious difficulty. Young though he
is, he has already to maintain some sew
enty women Of his establishment in var
ious capacities, and, like every other
gentleman who has ladies under his pro
lection, the duty devolves upon him Of
clothing them. This would be conpar-
atively easy task were the seventy fair
ones of reasonable turn of mind. But,
unhappily for the peace of the brother
of the sun and moon, their extravaganza
is pronounced to be beyond all bounds.
Two hundred aud fifty thousand taels,
which is more than, one-balf of the land
tax OF the empire, were expended last
year in silk, satin, gauze, velvet, red
and gilt paper and pearls 1t is said
that one dress, which is in the possession
of an empress, was covered last year
with seed pearls, worked in SO peculiar
fashion as to have cost fabulous sum.
With respect to this robe there is trouble
ahead. The empress is aged, though
the dress is new If she dies, according
to custom, it must be burned, supposing
it to be in her possession at the time Of
her demise. She refuses to part with it,
and the idea of This wastefulnesc, cou-
pied with the prospect of increased ex-
travagance in the coming year, troubles

The Vanderbilt Estate.

In the late suit of Cornelius j. Van
derbilt to recover due proportion Of
his fathers estate, it was finally settled
that he should receive the avails for
life of 100000; the property to be
placed in the hands of Edwin d. Wor-
cester, as trustee; the principal to be
disposed of by will by Cornelius; and if
agreed upon by the two brothers and
the trustee, the principal to be placed in
the hands of Cornelius, to he used by
him in his own way. Cornelius lately
asked his brother to place 100000 of
the principal IN his (Cornelius0 hands.
William declined to comply with that
request. Then Cornelius applied to
Judge Donohue to have William re-
moved from any control over the trust
fund, as the possession OF 100000 of
the principal was necessary in order to
afford him capital for conducting busi-
ness enterprises-his health and comfort
demanding that he should enter into
active business. He averred that he
and his brother William were the only
surviving sons of the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt; that William is worth now
over Sl00,000,000, and that it would not
injure his business interests to part with
the control of the trust. The Judge de-
clined to grant the petition to Cornelius

Hidden Treasures of Arizona.

Hidden treasures OF AIlAOna'
= At several points in 4avapai county,
during the past sixteen years, some won.
derfully rich gold Quartz has been picked
up. The finders, in every instance, made
dinigent search to discover the Teins
from which tho'ltloat was supposed to
come, and failed, in every instance, to
find the hidden BONANZA We append o
few notable eases which occurred IN the
Observation-Disclosures and the cor+t'

~. In 1864, william Rice was hunting IN
the country between Whippo and Lynx
creek. His camp was out OF meat
and Willard was determined to bring
Back some yenisop. He wounded
fat buck. ii and while following him
up over that rough country, stumbled
and fell, splaining his ankle. lp at
tempting to rise, his hand rested ON
what proved to be piece of the richest
kind OF gold quartz. He looked care
fully, but found no ledge. He carried
the specimen to camp, where it created
much excitement, and, although the
whole of Lynx Greek turned out in the
hunt, the vein remains undiscovered to
this day. p. ,.-.L
In the Fall Of 1872 Pete Reed, Char
lev Hall and others discovered on Tur-
kew creek several large specimens of
honeycombed quartz, literally filed with
the yellow treasure, The boys were
elated, and thought they had ''struck itH
sure, but long and careful prospecting
failed to unearth the vein, and it has
not been found yet. kseaA ..-..l - D..
During the Bradshaw excitement Of
1871, some parties brought into
that camp about twenty pounds OF
the richest quartz ever found in Yava-
PAL county. 1t was worth over 100000
per tom The finders were the lions OF
the camp. Experts, merchants, saloon
keepers, every one courted their ac-
ouaintance. It was considered q rare
distinction to take drink-at youpown
expense-with one Of them. Merchants
offered them credit, barkeepers cheer
fully "hung up the drinks, and mining
spectators advanced them some ready
cash. After o while they returned to
the scene Of the discovery, on Humbug
creek, and although they hunted faith
fully for nearly two months they did not
find the ledge. n 'u h'
In 1866 prospector in the country
between Groom creek and the Hasa
yampa, came across piece of float
quartz which was half gold. He took
it to the Chase mill, then owned by
Noyes q Curtis, and several parties
searched long time to find the mine,
but they only had their labor for their
pains-the mine was never found. In
every instance mentioned it is the opin7
ion of experienced prospectors that the
veins from which the ore came have been
covered up by. aside from the adjacent
hills, or1by the natural decomposition of
/ the veins themselves, and that the rich
est gold gledses in Yavapal yet remain
undiscovered, Arizona Democrat. !snsp

Mischief Makers.

On could there in this world be found
Some little spot of happy ground.
Where village pleasures might 60 round,
Without the village tattlingl
How doubly blest that place would be.
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
Oh gossips' endless prattling.
Iis mischief-makers that remove.
Far from our hearts the warmth of love,
Aud lead US all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure.
They seem to take ones part, but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again,
Mixed with their poisonous measure.
And then they've such cunning way
Of telling i'll meant tales; they say,
Don't mention what I've said, 1 pray,
would not tell another
Straight to your neighbours they go,
Narrating everything they know
And break the peace of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend, and brother.
Oh, that the mischief making crew
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue.
That every one might know them.
Then would our villagers forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret
Or fall into an angry pet,
With things so much below.
