SOME COSTLY VESSELS.

The performances, or, rather the failures
 to perform, of the Dolphin, have again called ! attention to the condition of the United
 States navy. Some interesting facts con- cerning the cost of what navy we have have
 been made public.
 The steamship Mohican was taken out of
 commission in the year 1872. Since that I time she has remained at the Mare island yard undergoing reconstruction, including the substitution of new machinery for the old. She is now about ready for sea, and within the next sixty days will re-enter the service. From the accounts of the Navy de- pertinent it appears that there has been spent on her in the Mare island yard $845, ,000, which, with further amounts hereafter likely to come in, will raise her total expenditures to about $90O, 900, and this upon wooden vessel of about 1900 tons displacement. More than two thirds of this has been spent within the last three years. And having cost about three times as much as a new ship of the same kind could be built for, she is not worth much as weapon of war.
 But the Mohican is not circumstance" to some of the others. The Tennessee has cost $3, 596, 786, of which more than $2,2OO,- 900 was paid for repairs The repairs uponi the Shenandoah, built twenty-three year ago at a cost of $463, ,866, have cost S9O6, AS. The Ossipee was built twenty-four years go at cost of $407, ,064, and the repairs u,on her have cost s1, ,197, ,391. The .Keararge cost only $286, ,918, but there has beenspent upon her for so-called repairs no les, than $1, 123, 415, or almost enough to pay for four new vessels of the same kind. And the Pin ta should not be forgotten. She is tug of The most costly and .Iystsss;saa sa cost s2e4, ,826. pairs were made alout two years Ago Tn the Norfolk yard. Nc long ago there were offer ed for sale at austion twenty-three naval Ves- sells and the syln of all the bids was less than s31O. 900. vet fourteen of these vessels had cost s7. .2s3 ,61, without taking into account the uaachj,ery in six of them. One of these relics wa the Dictator, whose cost with re- pairs hd been more than $1, ,500,000, and the hithest bid for her was $40, ,25O. a sum several thousand dollars greater than her ap- praisd value.
 The original cost of the Omaha, with ma ninery, was $756, ,764. Since 1881 she has been undergoing repairs at the Portsmouth yard, and the cost of repairs foots up $545, 208. The total amount expended upon her up to date is $1, ,440, 159. The last half mil lion were put on her in spite of report by committee of Congress in which it was said to be extremely doubtful whether wise economy did not dictate it's abandonment as @ vessel of war"
 A poem quite as strong as Tennyson's 'You, you" might very appropriately be ad- dressed to somebody in this country. There is reported insuffciency" in England's navy. In ours there is very certain and costly insuf6ciencY.

 A milk war, it is expected, will soon en- iven Philadelphia and it's surroundings. The parties to it are the countrymen and dairy farmers, who are now paid four cents a quart, and the wholesale dealers, who pro pose in future to pay only three cents quart, saying that they get all they need at the re- duced price. The farmers are organizing, and apparently have the advantage of posi- tion.
