Witnessed in this place and the audience
was pleased even TO u&u. One noticeable

FANgER IA SHIPS.

Admiral Porter would like to see our
ramshackle naval vessels replaced by
ships worthy OF the national reputation,
and in bis report to Secretary Whitney,
he points out how such a feat may be
accomplished.
The Admiral realizes that the era Of
slow vessels is past and that the war ship
of to-day should not only carry heavy
artillery but be capable OF attaining u
speed Of eighteen or nineteen knots an
hour. To build fast vessels OF this
class it will be found necessary to
revolutionizs our present methods and
do away with the old.fashioned boilers
and marine engines. Well, there is no
reason why the United States should not
have the fastest cruisers in the world.
The nation can afford to pay for them,
and in the opinion of Admiral Porter
their construction is a matter of scientific
certainty.
When we consider that we are the
most inventive people in the orld. it is
surprising that We have made no ad.
vance as regards the speed of our vessels
since 1861, when thirteen knots an hour
was easily accomplished by the Iroquois
and the Seminole. The Atlanta tried
the other day to keep up a fourteen knot
rate for six consecutive hours and mis-.
crably failed. 1t is clear that a new
type of boiler and engine must be called
into requisition if we want to hold our
own with the navies of Europe.

a CooD CaAxCE IN TIiE SOUTH.

The Memphis Daily Appeal asserts
that the South is being invaded by an
army of Northerners a second time. 1t
declares, however, that the Southerners
will not welcome it with bloody hands
to hospitable graves, as in the old days,
but with open arms aud generous
cordiality. These invading hosts are
capitalists seeking good investments,
and, if report speaks true, finding them
in abundance.
Under the old regime the South was,
it must be admitted, says the New York
Herald, ignorant of its own resources.
It raised cotton and crowned it king,
rice and a few other staples. These took
up its whole attention. But now that
slavery is out of the way the South has
learned that it has water power enough
to turn all the mills of the planet, and it
proposes to manufacture the cotton it
raises into cloth and pocket the profits
thereof. 1t has coal which is thrusting
itself through the soil and clamoring to
be burned; forests of immense extent
and in~calculable value which are hungry
:or the woodman's axe, aud metals and
minerals in prodigal profusion.
This rich and magnificent country be-
yond the Ohio and reaching down to the
Gulf offers peculiar advantages to Nor
thern capitalists who have skill, ex-
perience and brains. Able bodied young
men with surplus funds have discovered
this fact aud availed themselves OF it,
but the South is listening for the old
song, "We're coming, Father Abraham,
three hundred thousand more"

Clergyman DysOn'S Testimony DiaregArde
by DlFOctiOn tf tha Coprt

clergyman DysOhS Testimony DiAFegATded
by Direction ~ the Court.
LONDON, April 1.-THE trial Of Mrs.
Adelaide Bartlett, for the murder OF her
husband, was concluded to-day and the
case was given to the jury. Attorney
General Charles Russell made the closing
speech to the Jury for the prosecution.
dc declared that the theory that the de.
ceased came to his death by suicide was
impossible, and had been clearly dis.
proved by the evidence. 1t had also been
plainly shown that the prisoner had a
leellng Of repugnanCe toward the de.
ceased. Judge VIII, in his charge to the
Jury, said II was evident that Dyson had
taken advantage Of the maudlin nonsense
believed and expressed by the deceased.
The Judge advised the Jury 10 place no
reliance on the testimony Of Dyson.
0Slng 10 the Judges Injunction to dis.
credit Dyson's testimony in chief, the
lury, after very short period Of deliberS.
ton, returned verdict OF acuuitLal, The
verdict was applauded by the spectators,
The defense had presented two argn.
mentS, which seem to have operated upon
the jury with irresistible strength In favor
Of Mrs. Bartlett. The frat was based on
the undisputed fact that Mrs. Bartlett re.
tained the chloroiorm bottle for a long
time after her husband's death. It was
argued that this csuld not have been 80 Il
Mrs. Bartlett had administered the fatal
drug, and 1t was contended that the priS-
oner, II she had killed her husband, would
have taken every pains to remove the
evidence Of her crime.
Besides this, 1t was shown that Mrs.
Bartlett was very anxious to have post
mortem made on the remains in order to
ascertain exactly the cause OF death, and
that she authorized the expenditure OF
any amount Of money 10 secure the best
medical talent to make the autopsy, for
the purpose Of putting the case beyond
doubt. From this 1t was inferred that her
