IN these days of excessive competition,
when the working expenses of vessels have
to be kept at the lowest figure, n ship
owner" of Liverpool explains why Amcri-
cans have the better chances and can sue
cessfully compete with the British without
overworking their sailors or feeding them
badly. American ships sail much faster
than the British, rs shown, for instance, by
the recent arrival in British ports of the
grain fleet from San Francisco While
ships of English build occupied $50, 165
and III days from California to Queens
town or Liverpool, the American vessels
started at the same time only took 100,
lis and lie days. This is q clear gain to
the American ship owner in the saving of
two months wages and provisions, indie
pendent of other considerations This
greater rapidity of American vessels is due,
of course, to "a superiority in the building
of the ships, in the quality of their crews
and masters, and also, according TO the Liy-
erpool ship-owner," to the fact that the
sails of American ships are made from cot
ton canvas while English owners give the
preference to fax canvas. 1t is maintained
that cotton canvas gives an increased speed
of thirty to forty miles per day.

IN New York on Saturday a well-to-do
German quarreled with his wife, got drunk,
was picked up by the olice and put in a
cell to cool Off Next morning he was
found hanging by the neck dead. He had
put his head through the arm-hole of his
cloth vest and caught the other arn-hole in
hook. The garment was strong enough
to sustain his weight aud he choked to
death. 1t will now be in order for some
famous" clothier to declare that the sui

that "men may choke, but my seams never

LAST week Mr.. CHITTENDEN cndeavorcd
to irighten the country by asIiow of figures
going to prove that ten million of gold had
suddenly and mysteriously disappeared
from the country during the month of May.
He also intimated that this amount of gold
had been replaced by silver, and that o
simple calculation would prove that in the
course Of about another year there would
not be o dollar of gold in the treas
ury vaults. The facts were that no gold
had been paid out for silver bullion,
and the whole ten million OF gold had been
simply shifted in the purchase of United
States bonds from the treasury to the banks
On May the treasury statement showed
S13S, $4,000 in gold coin; OH May 81 there
were S12S, 100000 in gold; loss, S10,0740 900.
While in the New York banks the gold coin
on hand was on those dates $40, 406,00 and
$50, 900; q gain to the banks in gold of
$9,S73,000 SO the mysterious ten million
which was said to have disappeared
dwindles down to only two hundred thou
sand dollars Mr.. CnITTENDEN must try
again. Give us harder roorhack.

THE first ballot at Chicago yesterday in
Dictated to every one who has watched the
struggle in the convention carefully that the
end would not be easily reached. After all
the pounding to which il has been subjected
the GRANT column stood firm and showed
all the strength claimed for it on Saturday.
1t also showed that the yelling of the gal
leries and the Dragging of the Hobbies
had effected little during the five days of
the convention, in driving from General
GRANT the delegates who were really for
him OH their arrival in Chicago. Tho
losses were either those who had been
driven from their seats, or those who had
advertised their reereancy previous to the
meeting of the convention.
After all the delegates had been elected
we published an estimate, claiming for
General GRANT 400 delegates, but said that
this estimate was based upon the face of
the returns, making no allowances for
traitors yet positively undeclared. Nor
did we expect him TO he weakened by the
action of such committee on credentials
rs was manufactured by means of the
territorial pocket borOughs - of JAY
GOULD and his Pacific railroads. But
unfortunately for our just expecta-
tions, General GRANTS friends found
themselves weakened in both these di-
rections. The combination of his enemies
deirauded him of 30 votes in Alabama
Illinois and Louisiana, while the abrogation
of the unit rule gave effect to the recreancy
of 10 in New York, 26 in Pennsylvania
and in Kentucky, Not one Of these 70
votes were rightfully taken from him.
They were given to him by the people.
They were taken from him by tho conven-
ton. With them he would have been
nominated on the first ballot; and before the
ballot closed would have gathered in a hun
bred other votes from the men who would
rather be found dead than fail to be on the
winning side.

The DRUM MAJoR.-His feet rose and
fell with the regularity of quartz crushers;
his bearskin was as towering ana fluffy as
cats tail in spring time. His gauntleted
left hand was glued to his hip. and his
gauntleted right hand to his staff, saving
right and left for dear life. Then he
reached the second line of review and pre-
pared to salute. First he raised the staff
shoulder high and wobbled il four times like
the walking beam of an engine. Then he
reversed it and gave one gilderfuke to the
right and two fiabdabs to the left, twirled
the knob seven times, flung the staff twenty
feet in the air, and made motion as if he
were going to turn triple somerset before
it came down again. Instead of this, how
ever, he caught it deity, tucked it under
his right arm, shot out his left horizon
tally, crooked his elbow and laid the back
of his hand on his brow. And he did all
this with such skill, rapidity and pride
that the small boy cried: 80, locker
