its place some dainty bud or blossom to

What grievous harm in this2 With rare
exceptions the naval cadet is a agentleman.
But it seems that he has offended Dame
Propriety at last. A watchman has re-
ported to superintendent Ramsey that on
a recent occasion the young men actually
threw kisses at the young ladies when the
steamer left the wharf It is not stated
whether any of the fair ones were hit and
hurt by these missiles, but there seems to
be no doubt that the kisses were thrown.
Exactly what kind of looking man
this watchman is does not appear from
the official advices, but we predict that he
is at least G7 years of age and the proprie.
tor of a wooden leg or at least wall-eye.
AT any rate, Superintendent Ramsey
has issued an order that his young men
shall not go near the wharf when excur-
sion steamers are around the premises
and in the meantime is investigating the
case of osculatory propulsion reported by
the presumably mutilated Watchdog of
the Walks.
There is one consolation, however. The
Academy grounds are large, and the Dalti-
more girls can roam around them. The
cadets can also roam-away from the
wharf. Like ships at sea, near by each
other, when there is no wind blowing, the
cadet and the maiden will drift together
as if controlled by one mysterious force
and it should be so.
To interfere with the practice of flirting
among our young naval officers, is a blow
at one of the inherent rights of the navy
itself Many people will want to know
what our naval officers are to do if they
are not to be allowed to flirt. BY no
means break up the service entirely The
suppression of the fine art of flirting
would 60 far to that end.

In 1884 the total number of newspa-

A large black bear has for some
some time been in the habit of cross
ing the Dulack road some two miles
back of Rogers City. Two of our
sporting citizens armed with the Win
chester rifles, undertook to capture
his majesty, but, owing to the en-
chantment of less arduous game, de-
serted the field, leaving bruin still at
large. We understand the township
of Moltke has offered quite sum for
his pelt.
Edward Erskine, Jr., was on August
4th, elected to the important office of

AT session of the Maple Ridge
Board of Education held last month,
work was done as follows:
Nelson Stevens was given the job of
taking the school census of the town
ship for So, being the lowest bidder.
The Gurnsey school was ordered

The Organ fur OelhandCl gives an
account of some experiments lately
made in st. Petersburg with pyro-
naphtha, an illuminating oil which
BeiIstein, the celebrated Russian
chemist, thinks will supersede kero-
sene. 1t is said to be wholly free from
danger of fire, and burning kerosene
is easily extinguished by it. Pyro-
naphtha itself can be readily put out
by water. 1t burns with bright
light, and gives off no smoke or vapor,
while the fact that it is residual pro-
duct of the Baku distillation of petro-
leum makes it cost less than kerosene

The Railroads of the World.

In 1882 we built over II 900 miles
of railroad, but in 1884 less than 1000
miles were completed. Last year
probably marks the period of con-
struction, for during the coming year
it is believed 5000 miles of track
will be added to our railroad system.
This is understood to be the normal
rate of railway building in this coun-
try, as the system requires renewals
and extensions to keep pace with the
growth Of the country. The current
number of the Archiv fur Eisenbahn-
wesen contains some interesting statis-
tics concerning the recent growth and
present extent of the railroads of the
world. The total length of railroads
in operation at the close of the year
1888 is given at about 275,000 miles.
OF these, $4,000 we're in Europe,
100000 in America, II 800 in Asia,
$500 in Africa, $500 in Australia,
New Zealand, etc. The increase in the
four years, 1SS0-1SS3, has been 81 900
miles-an increase of 26 per cent.
over the mileage in operation at the
close of the year 1879. The most
rapid percentage of growth is shown
in Mexico, which in 1879 had less
than 700 miles in operation, and in
1883 more than 5000 miles-an ad-
ditiOn of 335 per cent. The increase
in America as whole has been Al per
cent; that of Australia has been 81,
that of Asia and Africa each &c, that
of Europe only II. OF the countries
of Europe, Germany now has, 400
miles of railway-an increase in four
years of 8 per cent; Great Britain
and Ireland, 1900, increase 5 per
cent; France, $4,000, increase 10 per
cent; Russia, 1900, increase "a per
cent; Austria, 10000, increase IL per
cent. The United States has a mile
age of nearly 10000 Cor decidedly
more than the whole of Europe), hav-
ing increased AZ per cent. in four years.
In 1879 our mileage was $4,000 less
than that of the European railroads,
but we drew rapidly near them in
1881, and passed them in the autumn
Of 1S82.-Demorest's Monthly.

NAVY DEPARTMENT.

The frmness and ceaseless vigilance
of Secretary Whitney in discharging
needless employees in the naval service,
and in exacting compliance from John
Roach in naval contracts has already
saved the people millions more. The
action of the Secretary of the Navy
in the recent difficulties at Panama
won for him the admiration of every
true American, for while it was insig-
nificant in itself, it served notice to
the world that under this administra-
ton no insult to our flag would go
unrebuked. He is typical Demo-
crat, and there is not young man in
this whole country who is not proud
of him.

THE TREASURY.
In the Treasury Department 1876
useless clerks have been discharged,
and their places have not been filled
and never will be under this admins
tration-thus effecting an additional
saving of $4,000 per annum, or in
four years, $4,000. The reduction
of the Treasury Department alone,
makes startling sum, and / regret
that l have not the exact number in
figures. / merely mention. a few
items which have been furnished me
from official sources to show that the
pledges of the Democratic party to
reduce expenditures, made at Chicago
in the national platform have been
