The U. S. Naval Academy.

The United States Naval Academy
was first opened October 10, 1915.
The credit of its foundation is at
tributed to the Hon. George Ban
croft, the Secretary of the Navy at
that time. The course of instruc-
ton at first occupied five years, OF
which three were passed at sea. In
1850 the course was changed to sew
en- years; in 1851 it was shortened
to four years, and in 1873 was fixed
at six years-as it still remains
the last two to be spent at sea. The
academy was removed to Newport,
r. l., in May, 1861, but was taken
back to Annapolis in September.
1860. The Navy Department has
direct supervision of the affairs of
the school. There are to be allowed
in the Academy one naval cadet for
every member of the House of Rep
resentatives, appointed at his nomi-
nation, one for the District of Co
lumbia, and ten appointed at large
by the President The number of
appointments, for each year, howev-
er, is limited to twenty-five, who are
chosen from the wohle number of
applicants by means of comparative
examinations. All candidates must
be from IA to Is years of age. The
successful candidates on becoming
students of the academy receive the
paw of naval cadets-s500 per an
mum. Cadets who graduate are ap-
pointed in the order of merit to the
lower grades of the line and of the
engineer corps of the navy and the
marine corps, as fast as vacancies
occur. utsueh appointments can
not be made in excess of vacancies,
and graduates who cannot he ap-
pointed receive an honorable dis
charge with one years sea pay. The
course of instruction is very thor
ough, involving a close pursuit of
mathematics, steam engineering,
physics, mechanics, seamanship,
ordnance. history. law. etc.

A THOUSAND CHEERS.
BY R. II. CALLAHAN

4 thousand cheers for the blighted life,
The lonely one-we daily meet
The sad, sad lot---a knightin the strife
| Is trodden down by rapid feet.
He needs our hand in the heartless race,
The voice of love might calm his fears,
Our smile mighiebrighten his careworn face
| Inspire his life with a thousand cheers
A thousand cheers forthe sewing girl
With her tired hands and heavy heart.
Though pure in soul, unknown in the whir
OF money makers in city mart.
o, beautiful flowers on the toilsome path,
O. jewel rare for the weary eyes,
o, thought sublime that her toiling hath
A thousand cheers from the starry skies
A thousand cheers for the honest boy,
Unlearn'd d in schemes of fame and wealth
Whose steps are heralds of restless joy
The restless Joy of rugged health;
The clouds may shadow, some sunny day,
This picture gilt with morning light,
But honor on earth still finds a way.
And soon enough for deed of right.
A thousand cheers for the man OF might
Who bravely strives when Others fall,
Who marches on to the losing fight,
When rights go down and wrongs prevail
The man who bears the scorn and the frowr
And censure's bitter blasting breath,
Receives. a last, a dear-bought crown,
A thousand cheers at thegates of death.

The Dangers Of Grammar

that grammar was an uncommonly
fine study, but l don't want any
more grammar in my house.
The lesson which Nancy sed was
nothin' but the foolishest kind NV
talk, the ridicles love talk you ever

she said, was

improper, but she went rite on, and
sed:

reckon you never heard such a rig
germyrule in your life-love, love,
love, and nuthin' but love.
She sed one time, Il did love-"

Then the scholars laffed, but l
wasn't to be put off, and | sed
/. Who did you love Nancy? L
want TO know-who did you love ?"
The schoolmaster, Mr.. M'Quillis-
ter, put in, and sed he would ex-
plain when Nancy had finished the
lesson. This sorter pacified me,
and Nancy went on with awful love
talk. 1t got wus and wus, every

Only once since the defeat of the
Old Guard at Chicago did General
Grant meet the enemy face to face
and get utterly routed. That time
the enemy was New York police
man. 1t was on the morning tive
years ago next winter when the Ma
sonic Temple was on fire. There
were great crowds on Sixth avenue
and in Twenty-tlIird street, and Cap
tain Williams men had formed Ere
lines across the street on either side
of the Temple, to give thetfremen a
chance 10 work unhindered. The
crowd gave them plenty to do, and
when short, chunky man, with a
cigar set firmly between his teeth,
and the huge collar of his top coat
reaching above his ears, tried, look
ing neither to the right nor to the
left, to hustle past one of the police
men that guarded the Sixth avenue
approach, he was seized and uncere-
moniously bounced off f'the sidewalk.
The officer didn't prod him with his
club as he probably had a good
mind to do, but as he got fair grip
on the collar of that coat, and yank-
ed its owner into the street, he gave
him some wholesome advice. unask-
ed, on the subject of blockade run
ming. The man in the overcoat an
swered never a word, but logged
across the street, both hands thrust
into his side pockets and the cigar
set with just shade of defiance in
his firm mouth, and tried to pass by
Booths theatre But here another
policeman, who had seen him
bounced across the street, got his eye
upon him and was reaching for the
tall collar, when he was dumbfound-
ed by seeing his roundsman straight
en- up and salute ii military style
" This way, General! Make room
there for General Grant p The
crowd and the bluecoats made room
1T once. and the General, with nod
ofrecogmtion, logged on his way to-
ward Fifth avenue, In the slush and
snow, looking neither right or left,
but followed by a hundred eyes,
among them the polIcemans, who

MONEY SPENT IN ELECTIONS.
What Tilden's Experience Cost Him
John r. McLean's Wrath.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14--It is said
that a great deal of money was speni
during the late campaign in Mary
land. Senator German is reported
to have spent $4,000 of his own
and his friends money during the
past few months. and that he Is
working all methods. good, bal and
indifferent, to get himself back in
the Senate for another term. Speak
ing of money and elections, the sting
of the Presidential bee cost Tilden
dearly. s750,O00 is the figure at
which it is estimated. Last year
his contribution was only $4,000,
but in 1876 be spent $3.50, 600, and
ill 1880, when he could have had the
nomination himself, he gave $4,000
to the support OF Hancock and Eng
lish. During the campaign before
this he gave largely, and suppose,
all in all, politics aave cost him more
than any other man in our history.
John X. Mclean is said to have
paid out a fortune during the past
mpaign in Ohio, and | under
stand that be gave s37 600 to the
election of Cleveland. Now Cleve-
land refuses to do anything for Nc
Lean, and | understand that John
considers that the poorest invest
ment he ever made. \ man told
me recently that Mclean intended
to get the s37 900 out of Cleveland s
hide, and that he wanted to come to
the Senate for that purpose. He
failed in that, but he is now talking
OF buying the ST. Louis Republican,
and it is said that he is also negotia-
ting for the Chicago Tones and a
New York paper. If he gets these in
