whitney and John Roach.
| Cincinnati Enquirer.
81 think Whitney, said Mr.. Cramp
the Philadelphia shipbuilder, SIS oneof ths
best Secretaries Of the Navy ever known
in my time. have known him ever
since the time of Gideon Wells, and we
have built vessels tor the government
during all periods. Mr.. Roach is a con
| tractor and iron founder, but not ship
builder. You cannot learn the business
of shipbuilding as if it were part of
some general occupation. Tho ship
builder must be brought up to his task
like an apprentice. The building of
tions, the matter of a model, the proper
ton of displacement, of gunnery, &c.
Indeed, modern great ship of war, such
as Italy, France, and England build, is
the most complex of all manufactured
things. Mr.. Roach is an enterprising
man, but he took up shipbuilding as a
late accessory of his general pursuit.
The secretary is probably looking out for
the interests of the government and for
the money they expend.
There is hardly one single successful
vessel among all the great ships of war
now afoat. The Italians have two of
the greatest and largest in the world. It
is generally believed that they are fail
ures. The French have two or three,
and they also complain that they have
built these vessels so big that they can
not manage them in navigation. They
have bestowed so much attention to
their armaments and their armor that
they have overlooked the points about
them easily! In the United
States there is a popular demand for
very large war ships, say OF fifty five
tons. We would do far better
to build some ships of moderate size and
draught which we could at any rate sail, |
which could get out of the way or could |
make speed and also use their arma-
mentS."
Said 1: GLOW many ship builders
have we at present i'm the United States
who could build ship of war;
'If you mean how many men are
here who can design ship of war, |
would venture the opinion that there is
rot one i'm the United States. either i'm or
,ut of the navy. Indeed, there are
hardly four in the whole world. Eng

| Col. Ingersoll, while sitting in a Broad

of absorbing interest in the matter which
brought him there, Ingersoll turned his

THE CONFEDERATE CABINET.
Remaining Members of that Memo
rable BOdy--Where They Now
Reside.

Washington Letter in Cincinnati Times-Star
The recent appointment of r. NJ. T.
Hunter, Of Virginia, to be Collector of
Customs at the port of Tappahannock, at
painfully small salary, calls attention
to the whereabouts and condition of the
few remaining members of the Confed-
crate Cabinet. There were fourteen OF
them Benjamin, Bragg, Breckenridge,
Mallory, Memminger, Randolph, Sedden,
Trenholm, Walker, Davis, Reagan,
Toombs, Watts and Hunter. OF these
five only two, Reagan and Toombs, We're
members of the original Cabinet. Hun
ter is not only an old man now, but very
much reduced in circumstances, as is
shown by his willingness to accept po-
sition which pays but about 5000 a
year. There are few members of the
Confederate Cabinet who are wealthy.
Bob ToOmbs, who lives near Atlanta, is
wealthy. Reagan is worth something,
but not very much. Watts, of Alabama,
and Davis. of North Carolina, though
pretty old men, continue in the practice
81 law at their respective homes. Hun
ter, rs indicated above, is poor.
OF those now dead, none except Ben
jamin died wealthy. He made mag
nificent fortune, as is well known, in the
practice of law abroad. OF the few
members still living each resides now in
the State from which he was chosen for
his Cabinet position, Reagan in Texas,
Hunter in Virginia, Watts in Alabama,
Davis in North Carolina and Toombs in
Georgia. Only the civil branches of the |
Confederate Government are now repre- |
sented, all the Secretaries of War and |
Navy having passed away. Hunter and |
TOOmbs were Secretaries of State, Davis |
and Watts Attorneys General and
Reagan Postmaster General. Reagan is
probably the most active, physically and
of any of those remaining. He
is strong and vigorous, though he was at
deaths door year ago, when an opera
ton by some skilful physician saved him.

Charles Reade's "True Woman

Charles Reade's "Truc Woman
Walter Besan in the Gentleman's Magazine.
Reade, in fact, invented the "True
Woman" That is to say, he was the
first who found her. There have been
plenty of sweet and charming women in
stOries-the patient loving Amelia; the
graceful and gracious ladies Of Scott; the
pretty dummies of Dickens; the insipid
sweetnesses of Thackeray; the proper
middle-class (or upper-class) girl of Troll
lope; the conventional girl of the better
lady novelists. There have also been dis
agreeable girls, especially the bad style,
detestible girl of the ''worser" lady nov
elists; but Reade-the trouvere-has
found the real woman. You will meet
her on every page of all his novels. What
is she My friends, Columbus egg was
not simpler. She is just like man, like
ourselves, but with certain womanly ten
Ierness. Like ourselves, she ardently
desires love. She knows that it is the
best-the absolutely La.ss--thing the
world has to give; that we are all born
for lOve-man and woman alike; that to
lack this consummate and supreme bless
ing is to lose the best part of life. Since
she desires above all things to be wooed,
and is forbidden to WOO on her own ac-
count, she conceals her own thoughts,
yet, from her own experience in hiding,
she is quick at reading the thoughts of
others. She is satisfied with nothing
less than what she herself gives, which
is all herself. Her reserve, leads her in
the lower natures, to deceit and false
hood. Her devotion, which is part of
her nature, leads her-also in the lower
natures-to suspicion and jealousy. She
is always in the house, and therefore her
mind is apt to run in narrow grooves.
The prodigality and wastefulness of men
are beyond her understanding or pa
tience. She is unversed in affairs. and
therefore comprehends nothing of COM
promise. She is generally ill-educated,
and therefore is incapable of forming
Judgment; hence she is carried away
by every wind of doctrine; as, for in
stance in matters ecclesiastical, knowing
nothing of the early church or its history,
she believes the poor little ritualistic GU

herself; or in the art, where, for want of
a standard, she is led astray by every fad
and fashion of the day, and worships
every sad faced flatness with rapture: or,
in dress, where, her taste being cultiva
ted, she puts on whatever is most hideOus
and unbecoming, provided it is worn by
everybody else.
This is the woman whom Charles
Reade presents to us; she is not. at all
events, insipid; no real women are; if she
is artificial, he shows the real woman
beneath. What he loves most is the
woman whom fashion has not spoiled;
the true, genuine woman, with her natu-
raj passion, her jealousy, her devotion,
her love of admiration, her fidelity, her
righteous wrath, her maternal ferocity,
her narrow faith, her shrewdness, even
her audacity of falsehoOd when that can
serve her purpose, and her perfect abne-

Observation-Disclosures of genuine
regret went up from many mouths as
the glare on the Western sky at the
moor of night, on Monday, showed the
destruction of the fine, new, double
story, Art Building" at St. Mary's
School. 1t had been completed a few
months ago at a cost of above all 900;
not insured. The rare Art Works, paint
ings, etc., which have attracted so much
attention, were fortunately not yet in
the edifice: so that the school will not
be injured except as to the special adj
vantages offered by the Building.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The persons who left the building about
10 p. M, saw no signs of fire. The
builder thinks the f1ues perfect A

was burned. Mr.. Paul G Cameron was
the owner of the edihce.
