A cabegraln from Brussels last night says:
On the express arriving yesterday morning at 3
O'Clock at Nerviers, where the mails are always

lantern was found in the carriage, showing the
robbery had been committed during the night by
passengers travelling In the train, and who prob
ably a1terward alighted at one OF the tnterme-
diary stations. Among the stolen property are
forty-one parcels OF diamonds shipped at New
York for AleXandrOvSk1. The Belgian govern
ment is responsible for all. The police are track
ing five travellers from Dover, who are suspected
OF being implicated. The robbery was cleverly
effected. A new paddock was substituted for the
broken one, and this threw the officials of the
scent until the terminus was reached.

bic girl eighteen years old petite brunette and
rather pretty. The start made from the
Maid OF the Mist" landing, ON the Canada side.
When the barrel reached the maelstrom it shot
right into the center OF the pool making TWO or
three turns. Leaving the pool the barrel followed
the current out toward the Canadian shore and
down 70 the outlet Of the pool where it got into a
large eddy and bObbed around for half an hour.
Friends near by shouted TO the occupants OF the
barrel when Haziett opened a small door ON top
from the shore which Hazieft secured, and the
barrel was towed ashore. After coming out of the
mile and a half through brush and over boulders
before reaching the top OF the precipice.
When taken from the barrel Hazlett was Sc
verely bruised, and the girl was 30 weak and sick
that she could not move, and Hazlett had TO lift
her out. She was carried TO the bluf covered up
Hearns hotel. stimulants were given her and She

MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE CONSTRUCTION OF
STEAMERS.
Admiral Porter, in his report to the Secretary OF
the Navy, says that home defense is of vastly more
interest at the present moment than the construc-
tion Of cruisers, and the iron clads now laid up
at City Point are SO well adapted to the protection
OF our coast that it seems pity they should be
left In the condition they are to-day He is of the
opinion that three classes OF ships are needed,
ranging from 3, 900 to 1900 tons and averaging
from 10 to 19h knots. He thinks that the United
states is making mistake by building so many
different classes OF vessels at the outset without
knowing whether any Of them Will meet the re-
quirements OF cruiser OF the present day. He Is
thoroughly in favor OF tOrpedOes as mode of
warfare. He attaches considerable importance to
the equipment OF vessels with full sail power. He
urges a reorganization OF the Navy department.,
and in conclusion advocates the establishment by
the government of yard for the building OF ships.

LITTLE COMFORT FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
LONDON, Nov. 29.-The Times says the anti-rent
campaign In Ireland has been too long allowed
headway. The government will not be able TO de-
feat 1t merely by disarming its astute authors and
violent advocates; but they can ensure victory
over the movement by steadily carrying out the
DEGREES of the courts.
