THE North American for August contains
q remarkable paper entitled "a Militia for
the Sea-" from the cheerful pen of the in
domitable Uncle John Roach, which is well
worth serious attention in these times Of
reviving national interest in maritime af-
fairs. The central idea Of our Uncle Johns
scheme is to create fleet of ships of the
latest approved model, engined for great
power aud high rates of speed, and so con-
structed that while available for commercial
uses in time Of peace, they may be converted
nto cruising iron-clads on very short notice

By DINT of talking incessantly from the
dawn of day to the latest possible bedtime
that can be cheated out of mamma or coaxed
out of papa, the ordinary four-ycar-old hu-
man animal gets great deal said. In all
this mass something occasionally hits, but
generally the little wretch is totally un-
conscious that it has made a point, and
ought to be allowed to remain in ignorance
of the fact. The publication of these say
ings ought to be stopped by the prevention
of cruelty to children society for its inju-
rious effect upon tho rising generation.

THE ANAMEsE who are now to creep like
dear little chickens under the wing of the
Gallo cock, are very promising objects for
protection. They have nice spices for the
French cooks, beautiful woods for or
namental handicrafts and excellent fruits
and sugar for bon bons and eau sucre. They
have also most convenient style of Budd-
hism--not enough to be dangerous and just
enough to be useful. Not particular upon
religious topics as usual thing, they hold
just few points where they can be so
pricked as to kill missionary or two, and
by that means furnish reason for q little
more protection wherever it becomes neces-
sary to French trade.

TIE RAIN of last evening and this morn

IT CERTAINLY is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good. The Charleston Nems and
Courier says that if the Presidents life be
spared there will be compensation, indeed
for the sorrowing and peril of the last week.
The common sense Of the people will assert
itself in two worthy ways: In seeking a
means of relieving the President from such
personal responsibility as makes him the
target of the ofiicc-seeker; and in stamping
out that distinction between North and
South which, as the event proves, disap-
pears when the interests of the whole coun-
try are imperilcd, and had been kept in
place and made prominent by the faction
who oppose the President so bitterly, and in
whose name Guitcau's crime was commit

THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING in the history
Of the last eight days to indicate that the
great American small boy sacrificed much in
the long run by abstaining from his patriotic
