For the Defense or England.

From the Fortnlghtly Review.
1t was only when hostile fleets were blockaded
at the end of the great French war that the
commerce of this country was enabled to be
carried out in safety. The distances at which
our fleet would have to operate are now much
more extended. 1t may happen that the block
ade of fleet some thousands of miles away
for instance, on the Amoor. may be as practical
bic and even more thorough defense OF the
country than an action fought In the English
channel. During the Crimean war the seas all
over the world were as safe to British merchant
men as the firth Of Clyde because the Russian
fleet could not keep the sea. 1t must also be
borne in mind that 1t IS of the first import
ance, not only for military purposes but
in the interest of commerce, that the tele-
graphic communication with our colonies and
countries OF export should be uninterrupted
Cruisers would be required constantly to be
patroling the principal lines of submarine cables
~ Greer 70 prevent THESE being raised and cut
by hostile cruisers Since in future wars the
fleet must keep the sea for considerable time
To maintain blockades, it will also be necessary
that means should be taken for coaling vessels
while atioat, and for this reason Golfers must
also be protected. When we reflect that our
feet must do these duties that it must watch
nearly 100000 miles of communication and
guard the enormous traffic which in at least
10000 vessels is passing continually to and fro
gerated, since the number borne in LIoyd's
iree65 ~ - Inde5, which excludes coasting
ana sResia trades Is nearly
fleet must carry stores and reinforcements
10 our garrlSonS abroad, and supplies and mu-
nltlons to our coaling stations which, without
feiief and stores, must perish; when we also
remember that the. fleet must protect the co .st
line OF Great Britain and Ireland, 5000 miles
in extent. in which there are between so and
90 Vulnerable points-we must see that the
fleet would, even if twice or three times as nu-
merouS as at present, be too small for the work
required from it, and that no effort should be
lost in increasing its numerical efficiency 1t
follows that the only manner in which the in
future during time of war, is by having a fleet
sopoweriul ana SO crushingly superior to any
possible combination which could be brought
against it that no enemy's cruisers could keep
the sea, run into our ports and levy contribu-
tons, or cut OF our merchantmen ON the high

Manual Culture in Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Times of yesterday 15th
April, 1850 says of the action of the board O

Trade Schools.

FTUm the n. Y Herald.
The jealousy with which mechanics and ar
usans first regarded the schools established to
teach young men trades seems to be dying out
Workmen are perceiving that the schools do not
graduate enough men to crowd the ranks; they
Workmanship the schools indirectly assist the
movement i'll favor of increased wages. The
question now is not whether there should be
such schools. but how greater number of them
may be established. The most practical sug-
gestion on this point comes from the Albany
Times, which says THE old system of primary
and object teaching and manual education
should have recognized place." The wisdom
be doubted, for our most skilled mechanics
come at present from Germany, in which
country the eye and the hand are carefully edu-
Gated in the common schools.

Climbing Stairs.

A professional athlete says that there is q
great knack in climbing stairs easily. To
throw the body forward, bending at the
hips. more than doubles the work. The weight
of the body is load that the muscles of the legs
and lOins must carry. and they can carry it
easiest if the center of gravity is kept directly
above them. Bending forward imposes on the
muscles of the trunk the unnecessary task of
holding the load from pitching forward. This
is like carrying a load at arms length, instead
of on the shoulder, or on the head, as many
Europeans carry burdens. Athletes lift enor-
nous weights by bringing the strain on the
pelvic arch and legs, keeping their back
straight.
The gentleman gives this advice to stair
climbers: do not lean forward. Do not hurry.
DO not spring from stair to stair. Step firmly,
leisurely, and keep erect"

Washington Society.

From the Atlanta Constitution
1t Is said that winter in Washington makes.
person dissatisfied with the society of every
city in the country. In our large cities we find
the clubs in possession of young insurance
agents, stock brokers and downtown business
men. they talk OF stocks, petty scandals and
horses. Old men are rated stupid: literary and
intellectual men are put down as nuisances
In general society Ii is worse. Men and women
over thirty are left in the corners. The young
dancing dudes and the budding debutantes run
everything. But in Washington the literary
people. statesmen, travellers and scientists are
strong enough to give tone to society You
meet them everywhere. 1t Is refreshing to
md one city in the land where men of brains
and position cannot be driven to the wall by
lqng,iegged dudes and young girls just from
the dancing schools.

Jules Ferry.
jules
From TernD1a Rar

From Temple Bar.
Jules Ferry owed the beginning of his political
fortune TO his luck in writing for newspaper
which had a witty editor. Just twenty years
ago 1S65), being then thrty-three years old,
he Joined the staff of the Temps, and after con-
trfbuting leaders for three years, undertook in
1865 a series of papers attacking the admins
Seine. Baron HauSSmann had rebuilt Paris
and made it a city unique In the world for
beauty and sanitation. Nj. Ferry could not
have performed such a task. but he was able to
crlticlse the projects work, to array long
columns OF figures showing how much it had
cost, and to ask whether it would not have
given to the poor. Baron Haussmann sent
contniuntqueS to the Temps impugning the accu-
racy OF NJ. Ferry figures; but the journalist of
course, stuck to his multiplication and as spir-
tied opposition always made man popular
under the empire, the Osgians articles obtained
more success than is usual with statist cal
essays. 1t was proposed that they should be re-
bound in pamphlet form and circulated among
Partisan householders in view of the general
election of 1869. NJ. Neffzer, editor of the
Temps, then suggested that the pamphlet should
be called lie Complies Fantastiques d'Hauss-
MANN" The title took. and Jules Ferry got the
reputation OF being a comical fellow Resolving
10 make the most of this character, while it
lasted, he came forward as a candidate Tor Paris
at the elections in 1SG9-calling himself a radi.
cal for this purpose He more radical
than comicatl, but if he had not taken up eX-
IRENE views he could have offered no reason for
opposing the moderate liberal, M Gueroult,
editor of the Opinion NdtioHdie who was the
sitting member OF the sixth Partisan ward. NJ,
Ferry defeated his brother Journalist, and in
the following year, when the empire collapsed
at Sedan, ne became eX-officio member of the
government OF national defense. 1t will be re-
Inembered that this government was composed
OF the nine members Tor Paris, because NJ
Grevy and some other leading republicans re-
fused To accept power unless ii were lawfully
