The Navy Report.

Secretary of the Navy Hunt in his annual re- port starts out by declaring that the condition of the navy imperatively demands the prompt and earnest attention of Congress. Unless some action is taken it will soon dwindle into insignifcance. Calls for vessels to protect American citizens from aggression upon their rights and shield them in time of civil commo- tionin foreign lands are made, he says, and it is to be deplored that in many instances it has proved impossible to respond on account of the lack of vessels. This should not Do so. While the navy should not be large, it should be in condition to be promptly ex- banded, whether to protect our coasts, to guard our commerce. or to shield our citizens abroad.
 He then refers to the report of the naval advisory board. He says the department recommends. as entitled to the entire approba- ton of Congress-, the adoption of tho views of the majority of the board. The difference of opinion in the board was SC slight, he ayers, that these views may be re- garded as the unanimous judgment of the board.
 The report states that the appropriations available for the current expenses of the fiscs year ended June 30, 1881, were SIG, ,020, 3o1; tht expenditures were s14, ,45o, 7se. The estimated amount needed to defray the expenses of the department for tho fiscal year ending June 30 1883, is $20 013716

A Pen Picture of Jefferson

The following description of Presi- dent Jefferson is given by MT. Flower, an English gentleman, who in 1915 travelled on Horseback through Tennes- see. Kentucky and Virginia, and was Mir. Jefferson's guest at Monticello: Mr. Jefferson's figure is rather majestic. Tall-over six feet-thin, and rather high-shouldered. manners simple, kind and courteous. His dress, in form and color, was quaint and old-fashioned, plain and neat. A dark, pepper-and- salt coat, cut in the old Quaker fashion, with single row of large metal but tons, knee brooches, gray worsted stock ings, shoes fastened by large metal buckles-such was the appearance of Jefferson when I first made his ac- quaintance in 1915. His two grand daughters (the Misses Randolph, we'll educated and accomplished young ladies, were staying with him at the time. The chief charm of the visit was in the evening conversations with Mir. Jefferson, who gave me the inside his tory of events, before only known to me. as to the world in general, in the published record or outside history which is all that the public is generally allowed to see.

Rt port of the war Department.

The annual report of the secretary of war is chiefly devoted to the consideration of the recommendations contained in the annual re- ports of bis subordinates. General Sherman's recommendation that the army be increased to 30, ,OO0 men receives Secretary Lincoln's ap- proval. The attention of Congress is called to the need Of legislation to prevent intrusion upon Indian lands especially from Kansas into the Indian Territory Secretary Lincoln invites special attention to that part of the report oi General Wright, chief of engineers, which re- fers to sea-coast ,defenses, and says that it seems simply matter of common prudence that VIC commence without delay, and under liberal appropriations, to put onr coasts in aD efficient condition of defense He thinks that it would not be we'll to raise the standard of ad- mission to West Point.
 The actual expenditures under the war de- partment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1881. were $42, ,122, 2o1. The appropriations for 1832,were s44, ,8S9, 725, and the estimates for 1993 call for S44 541 276

The fe.SaYing Service.

The following is a synopsis of the report of the superintendent of the hfe-saving service: At the close of the fiscal year the service included 183 stations, of which 143 were the Atlantic, thirty -four on the lakes and six on the Pacific
 The number of casualties on the Atlantic coast within the scope of the service was 151; on the lakes, 94, and on the Pacific coast, 5. On board the vessels wrecked were ,880 persons, of whom 1854 were saved and twenty-aix lost The number brought ashore by life-saving appl- ances was 408, and succor was afforded to 407 at the various stations. One hundred and seventy-eight vessels were helped by the life
 saving crews to get off when stranded, and were piloted to places of safety. The estimate value of the vessels wrecked within the scope oi the service, together with their cargoes, was $4,054 752. Of this amount $2,82S, 680 was saved and $1, ,226, ,072 lost. The general super intendent of the service recommends the estab- lishment of additional stations at number of points on the Atlantic coast and the lakes, urges that the compensation of keepers and crews b. increased to living rate, and makes an earnest appeal for legislative enactments and appro- priations which, in his judgment, are necessary to keep the service from decay and dissolutiol,
