FEW years ago the greatest steamers did
not exceed $50 feet in length, As feet in breadth,
$500 tons in tonnage, Or 1900 horse power.
Now, the City of Berlin of the Inman line is
44S feet by Az feet, and their new steamer,
the City OF Rome, building Of iron at Barrow,
Will be still larger, having length of SAG feet,
breadth OF 52 feet, and gross tonnage of
5000. The Cunard steel ship. the sersia. now
onilding at Glasgow, is 500 feet by 80 feet with
over 10000 indicated horse power, and will
doubtless possess a speed in advance of the
very fastest ship at present afloat in the mercan-

but with the condition that it shall not agitate

point was plainly declared BY General Melikoff
to refer to certain organs insisting on the
necessity OF the participation of society in legis-

whether fashioned after the model OF represen-
tative chambers of Europe Or the ancient Rus

A WOMAN has carried her point IN the United
States Courts. Judge Lowell has rendered a
decision IN favor Of Helen Macdonald in her
suit against John Shepard. The contest was
waged over . strip of waterproof material
which is designed to be sewed 10 the bottom of
lady's dress to protect it from moisture and
dirt. The history Of the litigation up to the
present point has been interesting and some
wha unusual, and has attracted considerable
attention from time to time, as sympathy for
Miss Mcdonald in her struggle to obtain what
she believed to be her rights has manifested
itself. The feature that makes the history par
ticularly interesting is that Miss Macdonald has
conducted much of the case herself, examining
the witnesses and even arguing before the
courts.

TIE st. Petersburg Goios (voice) has good
cause to assert, with its wonted boldness, that
"only the most heroic efforts can avert fnan-
cial crisis in Russia" A fresh proof Of her
terrible embarrassments has just been given by
the fact Of her being forced 10 feed her Central
Asian detachments with corn bought in Persia,
sinister augury, indeed for the former gran
ary of Europe. But the cause Of these and all
other Russian difficulties lie in one word
roguery. The money which should nourish the
land is pilfered by official thieves. The
peasants who should till are dcvoured by
usurers. At least one-fourth Of the cost of
every public enterprise is represented by the
black-mail extosted by the venal officials. who
should otherwise do all in their power to hinder
it. The only way Of SAVING the country is to
purify the administration, and Gen. Melkon
has begun the work not an hour too soon.

PROFESSOR 6wMa's tribute to Henry Ward
Beecher, in recent sermon, has rarely been
equaled, and WAS - beautiful a. it was de
served. After review Of Mr.. Beecher's life,
he said: "The brain that was so busy with the
effort to make the gospels apply to the cabin Of
tho negro was making religion apply to the cot
tage Of the white man, and was making havoc
IN general Of all abstruse and abstract theology.
In seeking religion for few, Mr. Beecher
uncovered religion for all, and thus, while de
vising faith for cotton field, he helped de-
velop one for continent. In such a large aud
colossal form does Mr.. Beecher seem, to my
own gaze, stepping along through those thirty
three years he has Just closed. II is difficult to
make survey Of such career without ccasing
to be calm critic and becoming worshiper. -

and evening OF last week, to spend and cele
brate the "4th." and, judging from what we
hear on all hands, they must have had very
enjoyable time. There they found abundance

picnic dinner or an interesting book and,
If they felt like rowing or fishing, boats and
tackle were at hand. cool, shady bowery had
been erected on the grounds where, to the en-
chanting and enticng strains OF sweet music,
the "poetry of motion" was delineated by its
devotees, and all were happy. Too much can
not be said in commentator OF the manner in
which Mr. Amos Deming, the owner, conducts
the grounds. No rowdysm was observed or al
lowed, and we have heard 1t remarked by prom
nent citizens that it was matter OF congratu-
lation that we at last had pleasure resort free
from the chronic annoyances OF such places,
and where ladies' and children could 60, unat-
