The Sentinel and the Farm Guide for sl.a5
FREE SHIPS.

Our merchants need commercial marine
and yet from the condition of British
French and German ship-yards, it is clearly
impracticable to attempt to build them in
this country, at least at present. Once that
our trade is built up to its former proper
tions, and steady demand for ships springs
up, that question will settle itself. But if it
did not it would be no great loss. We are
selling to Europe, and if we continue to sell
we must continue to buy. 1t is muth
cheaper for us to trade our surplus products
of whatever kind, for ships than to build
them. Europe has many ship-yards which
represent an enormous capital. AT present
and for that matter, for four years
back, these yards have not been paying one
per cent. on the investment, and they are so
clearly in advance of demand, present and
prospective, even if we should begin to buy
ships literally, that for us to attempt to
compete would be the height of folly. There
would result no profit, but just that much
more would be added to the now prodigious
amount of dead capital. We have found by
experience that it is not national economy to
try to do everything ourselves. We have low
cred the standard of national morals, the
high standard of American labor, and have
destroyed many profitable avenues of COM
mercial profit in an endeavor to surpass Eu-
rope in several lines which Europe in many
ways is more naturally adapted to pro-
duce. In order to produce many articles
we have had to import Chinese, who live on
plan totally repugnant and detrimental to
an American, and in many cases the status OF
the American has been so lowered that he is
almost as degraded as some of the lazaroni we
import. The sum total of the effect has been
poverty and commercial disaster.
There is every incentive for trade between
the two continents. Europe would prefer to
buy and sell with us rather than with Asia,
for many reasons; but such a one-sided
arrangement as we offer reacts badly on both.
We need ships, and it will not pay, for many
reasons, to make them. Our ridiculous nav
igation laws should be SC amended that an
American could go on the market and pur-
chase them at the lowest price. We hope
that Congress will make horizontal reduc-
ton on the shipping question that will leave
the surface as smooth as a mill-pond, and
that before many days.

WE think we may claim to know some
thing about the merchants of New York, and
we aver that among the Jewish merchants

dishonest than Christians, nor is the proper
ton of rascals among them any greater than
it is among Christians.-New York Sun.
THAT labC mas rights is a recent discovery.
And just as the new discovery of the rights OF

INVENTIONS AND INVENTORS.

IN EN- I1ONS AND Inn EN- IORS.
Mr.. Parsons. of Ireland, in his lecture on
"Heroism in Science" related some striking
anecdotes of the wild misapprehension of the
effect of some of our greatest modern inven-
tons. Among the the most learned and ca
pable men of the time, Sir Ashley Cooper the
celebrated physician, he said, was convinced
that mo one could travel through the air at
a greater speed than ten miles an hour with
out a serious risk of becoming insane"
Another scientist equally eminent, DIR. Lard
ner, was satisfied that a steam vessel could
never cross the Atlantic Ocean, though an
American steamer had crossed and gone up
the Baltic dozen years or more before, and
he demonstrated bis proposition in an elab-
crate article in one of the English Reviews
at the very time an ocean steamer was cross
ing, and his argument wa published just in
time to meet the announcement that the
passage had been safely and readily made.
1t is encouraging to men of mere common
sense, with no scientific illumination, to
see that the wisdom which forecasts
the future in practical achievements
is not the monopoly of learning, and that
workers are very apt to be better guessers
at results than theorists. The first steam
railway was believed by many to be threat
of general mischief. A speed of twenty
miles an hour was held by wiseacres to be
impossible. Said a member of the Parlia-
mentary Committee appointed to investigate
the character and possibilities OF steam car
riage on iron railways to George Stephenson,
the inventor of the locomotive: ''If your
engine and cars should run off
the track at speed of ten miles an hour,
where would they go?' They would
go to the devil" was the rather ''unrespec-
tive" answer "and if they should run off at
thirty miles an hour, they could not well go
any further" 1t has been lucky thing for
civilization that the future of great inven-
tons has depended little on the approval or
aid of the accepted wisdom of the world.
The Almighty in these, as other things, has
taught mankind "out Of the mouths of
babes and sucklings," so far as
their maturity of scientific knowledge
might measure their ability. 1t is a fact
worth noting that very few, if any, of the
great civilizing inventions of the age have
been made by men following the pursuits
which would be most likely to lead to such
developments and most in need of them, or
by men of such general scientific or mechan-
ical attachments as would be most likely to
discover the need of changes and improve
meats. Hargraye. who invented the ''spin'

Six Weekly Sentinels for So. Friends,
Give us 900 of these neat little clubs with
in the next thirty days.
ATTENTION, cBATTALLIONl

We presume the martial constituents of
many Congressman will be satisfied with the
great number of bills introduced to pension
the soldiers of the civil war. One has lately
been introduced to give every one of the p
100000 men who sought glory at the can
mons mouth the sum of 800 per annum.
Do we oppose it? Most certainly not. The
only objection we have to the bill is that it
does not include every male and female tax
payer throughout the length and breadth of
the land. Every head of family ought to
haYe pension of S. per month, and we feel
certain that the first Congressman who sees
this proposition will present bill to that eff
feet, and we will guarantee that it will make
his reelection certain. To be sure it would
cost the little sum of two thousand millions
per annum, but that is nothing to a country
like this, especially if it be applied according
to our plan. You see that to raise this
amount would require a tax of 800 year
from each responsible member of society.
This just exactly equals the amount he would
get back in the form of a pension.
But to avoid the costs of collecting this large
amount, and to save the people from the ex-
actions of pension agents and from the cor
ruption of officials, we propose that Congress
pass law, first authorizing the pension, and
then authorizing each person affected by the
law to draw upon himself each quarter day
for the sum of S25. 1t will be seen that this
law, in addition to the pension, would pro-
vide every man with an Office. Each indi-
vidual would become pension agent and a
Treasury disbursing agent. Every man would
have his fingers in the public purse. Be-
sides, it would compel each man to become
acquainted with business forms, population
and wealth statistics, and he might in course
of time come to learn where all the govern
ment money comes from. We commend this
plan to all thinking Congressman.

Mrs. LILLE DEvEREAUX BLAKE has engaged

gay" sends the Albany Journal this de-
scription of Miss Louise Imogen Quincy, the
young Boston poetess: Miss Quincy is tall,
and as 1.-the as a willow wand, with sweet,
interesting face that has that delicacy of
contour and refinement of feature betoken-
ing sensitive nature, the poetic nature IN a
high degree. Her mouth and nose are lovely,
but she mars the expression of her eyes by
wearing eye glasses the customary insignia
of Boston's intellectual women. Miss Quincy
is, however, near sighted, and would rather
see what she is doing than to look
! pretty. Out door sports delight her,
and in summer her boat is her greatest
pleasure, for she handles ain oar like an old
tar, or as though she belonged to the Har-
ward crew. She is tremendous pedestrian
also, doing her eighteen miles day without
! fatigue, and going to reception after this
! "little exercise as fresh as daisy Just
walked by the dew. A big st. Barnard, a
splendid tawny beast, whose noble head just
reaches his mistress elbow, is her constant
companion in these long tramps. No Won
der the verses she writes are filled with the
candor and freshness fyouth, when so much
of nature is daily brought into the environ
ment ofthe city filled with the ordinary rou-
tines oflife and society.

In New Yorelast Saturday, G. W. Monks,
the man who has lived twenty-three years
with q musket ball in bis brain, was dying.
At the battle Of Charlottesville, about 2
O'Clock in the afternoon, a nusket ball
struck him on the head, entering the right
parietsl bone, and dropping into the skull
TO the base of the brain, where it lodged.
The result in every previous case OF the
kind was death in seven days, but Monks is
still alive, or was twenty-four hours ago,
and the musket ball is still in his brain.
Eer nearly tKenty-three years he has been a
