There never was a class of vessels so un-
seaworthy, for the reason that their dis
placement and buoyancy were 50 very
nearly the same. They could not live in a
heavy sea. About ten years ago shipped
on one of them as engineer. Ii was at New
Orleans, and the high wages paid prompted
me to accept the place. There were II lot
of monitors there at that time to be taken
around, up the coast, on short sea voyage.
The engines Of the one shipped upon were
perfect beauties, about the handsomest
ever saw, and | spent four days getting
them in condition. Just before We were
to leave | went up into the city and fell in
with an old man of wars man, whom
told about my job. Don't "" he said
those cheese boxes on RATS are Internal
death traps" Then he went on to tell me
of the defects in their construction and the
danger from heavy seas. The talk made
such an impression upon me that | never
went back, not even for my hammock and
dunnage Ii happened that the monitors
made the trip all right, but they had
several narrow squeaks of it. These YES
sells. it should he borne in mind were CON
sidered great improvement over the
original monitor, which was only tioated

CANDIDATES FOR THE ARls1ocRAcY.
How Titles Are bestowed in England
Some of the Favored Ones.

How Titles Are BESTOWED I'm England
Some of the Favored Ones.
Wealth has always been held an essen
tial qualification in the candidates for the
Rristocracy. and many Of those otherwise
fitted for the promotion have failed of it
because Of the lack of this indispensable
attribute The great soldiers had to re-
ceive pensions, and sometimes estates,
with their peerages, to enable them to
maintain their dignity; and at one time
the politicians also were rewarded with
both rank and pelf. but of late years the
public feeling would not have sanctioned
such a disposition Of the public money.
The speaker Of the house of commons is
the first cnmmoner in the kingdom, and
always receives a peerage when he resigns,
that he may not step back into the ranks.
The speaker of the house OF lords is the
lord chancellor. II not already peer, he
is always promoted before he ascends the
wOOlsack, and remains noble, of course,
with his family, forever. The greatest of
the lawyers is thus always peer; but the
most successful Of his brethren are never
emnObled. unless they have sufficient for
tune Ia compete with inherited splendOr.
Physicians may never arrive at the peer
age. The slur Of the older days when bar
bers were surgeons remains, and the most
eminent medical men who illustrate the
English name to-day, though they save
the lives of princes and lessen the suffer
ings of humanity, may never receive more
than a baronetcy. The English doctors
take their pay with every visit, and the
saying Is that no man who has held out
his hand for a fee can ever be made all
English peer. Yet many of the nobility
have held out their hands-fOr bribes.
The great brewers. however, nearly al
attain 10 the aristOcratic degree. Malt
seems to possess a peculiar patrician quail
ity, though no man Of purely literary gen
ius. except TennysOn. has ever received a
curunet. The blood of the AllsOps and
Basses and Guinnesses may become blue,
but that Of Browning and Thackeray and
Fruude and Wordsworth remains pie
beian.
After politics and money, marriage is
the key that uulucks the august portals Of
the aristocracy with greatest ease. The
mobility may marry whom they please,
and their wives will be peerless; their
,iegitimatej children are all in the success
sion, though born Of dairy maids. Many
Of the wives Of the lords are from the mid
die class. A rich heiress can buy cor
Onet any day. There are marchionesses
now living whose fortunes fresh from
trade saved the ancient estates Of aristoc-
racy from the hammer; while ladies with
the Odur Of tobacco about their garments
have penetrated into patrician families
and shone in the most exclusive spheres.
The taint disappears at the entrance.
They leave the shop entirely behind when
once they are initiated.
OF late years American beauties and
fortunes have often found their way into
the aristOcracy and the queen can count
among her nObler subjects at least half u
score who began life as republicans

ForetoId by an Ancient Oracle.

According to French paper the Count
de Lesseps was foretold by an ancient
Egyptian oracle! 1t says: "HerodOtus re
lates that when Neco, king Of Egypt, un-
dertook the work of uniting the waters Of
the Mediterranean and Red seas, by
means Of a canal, 69OOOO men perished in
the work He then caused the work to be
stopped and consulted the oracle, receiv-
ing the reply, A barbarian will finish thy
work The gentleman who alighted upon
that bit Of history copied upon sheet Of
paper the paragraph from HerOdotus and
carried it To de Lesseps who, having read
it. took his pen and appended, The bar
