One of the subjects which has en-
gagged much of the attention of the Of
ticers of the Signal Service is the use
of oil for calming the waters of rougl
sea- II has estimated that the extreme
height of ocean waves is twenty feet
and that tue force of wave in sum
mer months is 81 pounds to the square
foot and in water 2096 pounds. Indeed
in unusually heavy gales force OF
nearly $500 pounds to the square foot
has been observed. To reduce such
tremendous force as this has been the
object of the oil experiments. When
the water breaks upon the shore the
oil has no effect whatever, but in deep
water it has been attended with some
efficiency in calming the surface. When
n boat or vessel is in the open ocean
and reaches a dead drift" or in other
words sails directly before the wind,
the pouring of oil on the water has
been often known to be an effective
means of safety, but when going under
"ranging SAIL no benefit is derived
from il, as the craft continually ranges
ahead from the oiled surface into rough
water, The problem now is to perfect
some invention by which the oil can be
distributed in the advance of a vessel s
course in such position that she will
range into il. There have been many
such devices submitted to the Signal
Service officers, but none of them solve
the problem.
Politics are not allowed to enter into
the service.

The Young Blaines And LOgans.

Gen. Logan has one son and one
daughter. The son is youth of 16 or
Is and is at West Point, though his
father was not favorable to his having
a military training. He is said to be
quite well behaved, sprightly young
man. The daughter is married, and
her husband is in business at Santa Fe.
New Mexico. She was with her par
ents much of the time last winter, and
is most affectionately devoted to them.
She still pets her father and fondles
him with childish playfulness. Her ed
ucation was had at the convent in
Georgetown, and one or two young la
dies of st. Lonis, were her classmates.
Her complexion is dark and her hair
very black, so that in these two partic-
ulars she resembles her father She is
of slender build and is rather pretty,
but is as simple and unpretentious in
her manner as child. Mr. Blaine has
three sons-the eldest graduate of
Yale and the second II graduate of Cam
bridge, and the third very bad boy,
and two or three times expelled from
college where he had been placed He
Is James G.. Blaine Jr., and looks very

demption and is the one source of do
nestle infelicity to the otherwise very

Horace Erepley,s Sorrow.

We publish below pathetic letter
written by Mr.. Greeley on the death OF
his little boy. Notwithstanding the
fact that more than thirty years have
passed since the words were written,
they will awaken sympathy in many
heart that has known a similar grief:

great change in my feelings, plans, and pros.

in his, and do not now feel that any per-
sonal object can strongly move me hence
forth. had thought of buying a country
place, but 1t was for him. l had begun to
love flowers and beautiful objects, because
he liked them. Now, all that deeply concerns
me is the evidence that we shall live here
after, and especially that we shall live with
and know those we loved here. | mean to
act my part while life is spared me. but no
longer covet length of days. If | felt sure
on the point of identifying and being with
our loved ones in the world to come, l would
prefer not 10 live long. As it is, l am re-
signed to whatever may be divinely ordered.
We had but few hours to prepare for
our loss. He went TO bed as hearty and
happy rs ever. At a. m. he died. =
His mother had bought him fiddle the day
before, which delighted him beyond measure;
and he was only induced to lay it up at night
by his delight at the idea of coming up in the
morning and surprising me by playing on 1t

The Busy Reporters.

The oyerworked reporters are now
getting a rest They never had a bus
Ter timethan while the excitement lasted.
People who read quietly at the break
fast table accounts of the collapse, the
defalcations and swindles and the
movements of the various eminent
mischief makers, had very little idea
how hard the reporters had to work
to get all the facts and some faneics to-
gether. While troops of them were
securing the city night and day. tie
Stock Exchange the Wall street offices
and some of the banks had to be closely
watched. An eye had to be kept on
each of the Observation-Disclosures aforesaid.
Whom they met, whittier they went,
what they said, had to be carefully noted.
Picket duty at their houses had also to
be performed, 1t was necessary, besides,
to keep a close watch on the uptown ho-
tells and other night resorts of the brokers
and bank men. Then there was the
work of finding out what the police
were doing, or likely to do, and what
was going on at the District Attorneys
office, and whether the Sheriff was up
to anything; and when everything was
gathered, there was the labor late at
night when most other folks were a-bed,
putting it together in proper newspa-
per shape, and seeing that nothing was
left out while nothing redundant went
in, so that the whole story might be in
print long before the people should get
up who had gone to bed long before the
reporters had gathered in their last
notes. 1t was indeed an uncommonly
busy time with the reporters, and all
their work was we'll done. There has
not often been a more striking illustra-
ton of the fight-it-out pluck of report
ers than occurred in the Sun office
few weeks ago, when one of two men
sent to report fire was killed by a
fireman's ladder falling on him. The
other, who was severely hurt at the
same time made his way to the office,
though suffering great pain, and unable
to do any writing himself, dictated an
account of the fire and the accident to
another reporter, SO that q full report
appeared next morning. 1t is not, oft
Gu, of course. that reporters are exposed
to the risk of being killed at their post
of duty, but in any case the risk is the
last thing thought Of There was no
such risk in the late Wall street work,
but if there had been the reporters
would have gone straight ahead all the
same.-N. I. SIN.

A Royal Homemade Bonnet.

On an occasion Of some social impor-
lance during the last London season.
one of our Royal Duchesses appeared in
palpably home made bonnet. The
other ladies present wore their pretty
est bib and tucker, and probably the
majority of them had new bonnet for
the occasion in question. 1t would be
difficult to compute the effect of that
hopelessly amateurish hsadgear. In
the estimation of those assem- bled. down
fell the institution of royalty many and
many a peg. Those learned in the seek
ing out of hidden causes may some day
attribute in great measure the fall of
the English Monarchy to the shock
caused by seeing wretched bundle
of satin and lace encircle a head on
which the halo of royalty should have
been represented by Chef d'Gurre of
the milliner's art. Who will then doubt
that bonnet is indeed an important
itsm of the wardrobe?

The Republican Canvass.

Already the Republican canvass as
sumes most cheering aspect. and each
day brings brighter skies and more en-
couragiDg prospects. There is great
enthusiasm in all Republican localities,
and especially gratifying is the unwonted
activity and zeal among the young men
of the party. The noisy and ostenta-
tious adieux and the spiteful slamming
of doors by three or four fussy and I'M
certain newspapers with their little fol-
lowing Of free traders as they left the
party for the party's good, carried dis
may to the breasts of some timid and
sensitive Republicans; but these have
mostly recovered their breath. to dis
cover that we are all here yet, and that
the world need not necessarily come to
an immediate end because George Will
liam Curtis has packed his gripsack and
gone along with Carl Schurz and the
free trade Britisher of the New York
Times over to the Democratic camp. 1t
is time that Republicans should cease
to be affected with fear and trembling
every time y few noisy party cranks
join 10 swell the Democratic cutlery
against Republican nomination More
or less dissatisfaction is inevitable when
one man is chosen to be the representa-
tive Of millions; and there will be some
to bolt. The croakers were more num-
erous than now, and prophets of evil
filled the air with far more dreadful for
bojings, when old Zach. Taylor was
nominated by the Wing party; they
were sure that everything must go to
the bow-wows But he was elected.
Those who can recall the Chicago con-
vention of 1860 scarcely need to be re-
minded that the selection OF Abraham
Lincoln instead OF William II. Seward
brought sore disappointment to many
thousands, and feeling of hopeless
dissatisfaction pervaded and weakened
the party for long time. But the rail-
splitter bore the party banner to glor-
ious victory. And when Lincoln was
renominsted in 1864 the very air was
blue with doubts and fears, so that \
multitude of Republicans prepared to
put ON sackcloth TO witness Demo-
cratic triumph. But 1.-THE clouds rolled
by" and Lincoln was reelected. Again
in 1872, when the man Of Appomattox
was named for n second term. how the
party was mensced by foes within and
foes without. A real bolt of formidable
dimensions in every State carried host
of influential Republicans into the DEM
ocratic ranks to follow Horace Greeley.
But. great man, great leader, honored
and loved as he was by Republicans ev-
erywhere, even the name and character
