Breckenridge, and thence to Leadville,
Is to be built by Jay Gould and others.
1t will pass through Bakerville and

when the Atlantic-Pacifc Tunnel is

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. About Ships.

"An cold tar" has recently prepared
a handbook of nautical terms for the
use of persons who intend to follow the
sea. In order to correct popular belief
our author gravely asserts that the
berths on board ship do not necessarily
add to the census. The hatchways are
not hens nests. The weight of the
ship is not the extent fber avoirdupois.
The boatswain does not pipe all hands
with a meerschaum. The ship does
not have a wake over dead calm. The
swell of ships side S not caused by
dropsy, nor is the taper of bow
spirit tallow candle The hold
is not the vessels grip, The trough of the
ship is not dug out of the ships log.
The crest of the wave is no indication
Of its, rank The buoy is not the captains
son. The men are not beat to quarters
with club. Ships are never
boarded at hotels. The bow Of a ship
is no evidence of politeness. a sailors
stockings are never manufactured from
a yarn Of his own spinning. The sails
of ship are not made by an auctioneer
nor are the stays constructed by
milliner.

THE PRESIDENT.


The doctors have at last succeeded-or
think they have--in discovering the pre-
else whereabouts Of the ball in the Presi-
dents body, but having with infinite
pains satisfied themselves on this head,
they appear in no way DESTROYS of going
any farther. They say the ball is just
where they thought it was, which coinci.
dence may be satisfactory to themselves,
but has little or no significance for
the public. 1t might be thought that if it
was worth while to take all this trouble to
find out where the ball is, it would be
worth while to try and extract the ball.
But they appear to be afraid to venture
upon this, although all the physicians are
agreed that if it were removed the Presi-
dents chances of recovery would be greatly
increased. 1t is to be hoped that the
doctors are not allowing themselves to be
cowed by the reflection that their patient
is the President. He ought at least to
have all the chances that would be given
to private citizen under similar circum.
stances.
