AMERICAN SHlPs.-In the proposition
to appoint committee of Congress to
sit during the recess and examine into
the condition of the ship building inter.
ests in this country there are involved
some peculiar facts. No standing com
mittee, it appears, considers itself
charged with such duty. This admits
tnat American ships have passed out of
the field OF appreciation as facts. If an
American merchant marine was a fact
the Committee on Commerce would take
cognizance of it perhaps; but such a
marine exists only in the realm of econo-
mical curiosities. 1t is only mentioned
to explain why it no longer exists.
Another peculiar fact is that there are
people in New England not satisfied
with this. Why, do they not know that
the abolition Of the American ship is
the result of protection to the American
shipbuilder2 Are they tired of being
protected, or do they want to be pro.
tected still more. .-Nelo York Herald.

his better-nature. More especially is
this the case Il this undue love of money
has developed within a man want OF
scrupuleus honor as to how he comes by
his money, so that he but gets it, An
Eastern parable illustrates this. A Rus
sian priest knew that a moujik, or peas
ant, had come upon buried treasures in
the shape of pot of money; and the
priest being excessively ayaricious, de-
termined that he should get possession
of this treasure. SO he killed one of his
own goats, and took off its skin--horns,
beard, and all complete; and having
pulled the skin over himself, he told his
wife to bring needle and thread and
fasten it up all round, so that it might
not slip off. In this guise he went to
the Mouiik's cottage at dead of night,
and began knocking and scratching,
when the peasant jumped up and cried
'"Who's there?'' ''The evil onen' re-
piled the priest; and demanded that the
MoJik should at once give him back the
pot of money he had found. The
peasant looked out of the window, and
seeing the goats horns and beard, he
was certain that his visitor was none
other than what he represented himself
to be; and in great terror, he seized the
pot of gold, carried it outside, and flung
it on the ground. Give lived before
now without money" said he, "and now
I'll go on living without it" The priest
seized the money and fastened home.
Come said he to his wife, ''the money
is in our hands now. Here, put it well
out of sight, and take a sharp knife, cut
the thread and pull the goats skin off
me before any one sees it, She took
the knife, and was beginning to cut the
thread at the seam, when forth flowed
blood, and the priest began to howl: 80,
it hurts, it hurts! don't cut, don't cutr'
She began ripping the seam out in an
other place, but with just the same re-
suit. The goats skin had united with
his body all round. ''And all that they
tried" adds the legend, ''all that they
did, even to taking the money back to
the old man, was of no avail The goats
skin remained clinging tight to the
priest all the same. God evidently did
it to punish him for his great greedi-
ness. - Chambers Journal.
