A Belgian physician has ascer-
tanned, during a tour of observation
and inquiry made at the request Of
the government authorities, that the
very general use of tobacco is the
main cause of color blindness, and
this affection is now occasioning no
slight anxiety both in Belgium and
Germany from its influence Oh rail-
way accidents and also from the
military point of view. Ii is not
surprising, therefore, that these facts
have led to the issuing of orders in
certain towns of Germany, forbid
ding all lads under sixteen years of
age from smoking in the streets.
Some one also asks if the use of to-
bacco does not sometimes produce
moral blindness.

The committee of confederate
bondholders state that their pro-
or ammo is primarily, by steady and
persevering appeals, first to the pub
lie and then TO the legislatures of
the United States, to bring about
the opinion that the time has come
when the restriction imposed by the
fourteenth amendment of the con-
stitution should be removed as far
as it prohibits the southern states
from eflecting ann equitable settle
ment of their debts legally contract
ed. The committee repudiate the
idea of embarking in litigation to
recover confederate property in Eu-
rope.

rnlmage ON the Newspapers.

"What shall q preacher do when
he has two texts, either of which is
equally good?" asked Mr.. Talmage,
in mild tones, at the beginning of
his discourse in the Brooklyn taber-
nacle, on the morning of October
30th. 1t had been announced that
he would discuss "The Character of
American Newspapers" ain my
perplexity," continued Mr.. Talmage,
answering his own question, 81 will
take them both: And the wheels
were full of eyes.-Ezekiel X. II.
'For all the Athenians and strangers
which were there spent their time
in nothing else, but either to tell or
to hear some new thing.'-Acts
xvii, 81
Resting his left elbow upon his
right hand, and shaking his index
finger at his audience, which filled
every seat in the edifice, he inquired:
"What but the wheels of the print
ing machine can see?" The wheels
of the labor-perfOrming machinery,
he said, ground bone and sinew, and
the sewing machine caused aches
sharper than the needle that it piled.
The eyes of the printing press were
both near and far-sighted, and saw
all things. Turning to the second
text, Mr.. Talmage said: "In Athens
the great question, as now, was,
whats the newsT" China first
answered the question. There is
now issued in Pekin a paper that
has been published weekly for 1000
years, which first made its appear
ance printed on silk. In America,
BENJAMIN Harris began the publica-
ton of Public Occurrences in 1890.
The first daily was issued in Phila-
delphia in 1884, and bore the name
of the american DdilV AdceTtiSer.
"Just as soon as the newspaper be-
gan to demonstrate its purpose"
exclaimed Mr.. Talmage, as he strobe
across the rostrum and threw out
his right arm like an extension gas
fixture, "the powers shackled it. In
Russia, which L regard as the most
tyrannical government on the face
of the earth, the newspapers are fet-
tered. Austria could not bear the
pleadings for Hungary's freedom.
| Napoleon, who wanted to keep his
foot on the neck of the nations, said
every editor ought to be in prison.
Thomas jefferson, who wrote the
Declaration of Independence, said :
'If l were to choose between coun-
try without newspaper and a
newspaper without a country, L
should take the latter"
Mr.. Talmage thanked God for the
everlasting blessing of the printing
press. and said that good newspa-
per was the greatest temporal
blessing given the people. One pa
per, statistics showed, died every
day, and generally three or four for
tunes were spent in establishing q
paper on a paying basis. 1t was us
ually the case that the older papers
absorbed the younger ones, like one
whale swallowing fifty minnows.
The average life of a newspaper was
five years, and in the United States
and Canada only thirty papers had
reached the age of fifty years. The
newspaper made knowledge demo-
cratic. knowledge is the light of
life,a shouted Mr.. Talmage, as he
grasped handful of air and threw
! the invisible missile with all his force

SIR JOSEPH S "NAvIE."

The National Republican sums up
the number, class type and estimat-
ed cost of the new vessels recon-
mended by the navy advisory board,
as follows:
Two first-rate, steel, double-deck
ed, unarmored cruisers, having q
displacement of about 1878 tons, and
an average sea speed of fifteen knots.
Cost $3, 560,000.
Six first-rate, steel, double. deck
ed, unarmored cruisers, having q
displacement of about 45C0 tons,
and an average sea speed of fourteen
knots. Cost, SS,532,000.
Ten second-rate, steel, single-deck-
ed, unarmored cruisers, having a
displacement of about 3043 tons, and
an average sea speed of thirteen
knots. Cost, $9,S00,000.
Twenty fourth-rate wooden cruis-
ers, having a displacement of about
793 tons, and an average sea speed
of ten knots. Cost, $4,360,000.
Five steel rams of about 1000 tons
of displacement, and an average sea
speed of thirteen knots. Cost, 3d.
100000.
Five torpedo gunboats of about
$50 tons displacement, and a mini
mum sea speed of not less than thir-
teen knots. Cost, $725,000.
Respecting the material to be used
in the construction of unarmed YES
sells, the board said: Notwithstand-
ing the greater cost of steel as a
ship-building material. the lack of
experience in the manufacture of
steel frames in this country, and the
experimental stage that steel ship
building is passing through i'll Eu-
rope, steel should be recommended
as the material of construction for
the hulls of the fifteen, fourteen and
thirteen knot vessels, for the rea-
SONS
l. Because it is enough lighter to
compensate for its increased cost.
2. Because it is stronger.
3. Because steel bulls arc meeting
with increased success in England.
4. Because steel will soon supplant
iron entirely in the construction OF
vessels.
8. Because such a step would de-
velop steel manufacture in this
country.
6. Because our ships should be ir
all respects equal to if not better
than any of their class in foreign
navies; and, finally, because q bold
and decided step should be taken to
win back from Europe our former
prestige rs the best shipbuilders o.
the world.

DUBLIN, Nov. 10.-Tbe first sit.
ting OF the Land Commission met
at Claremorris to-day, though only
four cases were presented. 1t is be-
yond question that even in Mayo,
notorious for its advanced views on
the land question, the Land Act
will be accepted almost universally.
The Commission has ratified an
agreement between Miss Knox's
agent and . tenant at Ballina, by
which the rent Of els is reduced to
So los, slightly over the Poor law
valuation. Other cases on the same
estate were settled on similar
basis.
LONDON, Nov. 10.-Gladstone,
in his speech at Guildhill last
night, declared that the law would
be enforced with f1rmness and de-
cision in ireland. Its enforcem ent
had been entrusted to those agents
who had already earned title to
the gratitude of their countrymen,
by their courage and the exem-
plary patience with which they
had performed their duties.
The Times says: This emphatic
statement may serve as a warning
to those tenants who are being
tempted to yield even temporary
alliance to the "nO rent" policy.
We understand that the practical
difficulty of engaging In a conflict
with the large body of Irish ten
antry will be met, If occasion
arises, by taking, one by one, the
counties in which difficulties oc-
cur.
The Times says: Yesterdays
Cabinet council 10 not the last OF
the series in which weighty con-
troverted questions of policy will
have to be debated and determined.
It is understood that the Cabinet
will not be convened again for some
time to come, unless an unexpect-
ed exigency presents itself. We
may, therefore, infer that the atti.
tude of the Government upon the
Irish questions remains unmoved
and immovable. Forster will re-
turn to Ireland with no restraint
upon his executive authority.
The NesVs says: Gladstone's
warning to the recalcitrant tenants
did not need Cabinet council to
give 1t effect, and there is no reason
to believe that ireland occupied
any unusual share of the Cabinets
time yesterday. The Ministers will
return to the country In no expec-
tation OF . speedy recall to London.
