MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1883.

THE Bulletin appears to have come
to the conclusion that the source of
most Of our social and political ills is the
prevalence of Gan insular type of charac-
ter" "Insular type" is good phrase,
and probably represents something not
altogether estimablo and lovely, particu-
larly when the "insular" characteristics
are developed in a particularly aggra-
waited form. Passing over the social as
poets OF the case, however, and looking
at the political history of the country for
some years back, we scarcely think the
"insular type" has been altogether such
a bad thing after all. We have seen the
Island born and bred, and presumably
"insular," product filing great variety
of public positions of all kinds, from the
highest to the lowest. We have seen
foreigners whose long residence and in
innate relations with the natives of the
soil might be presumed to have insular-
lied them pretty thoroughly, under SINH
lar circumstances. Finally, we have
seen other foreigners, fresh from the
influence of lands where spirit "me-
tropolitan or cosmopolitan is supposed
to prevail, and society and politics to be
run on broad-gauge principles. We have
seen these latter, sometimes imported to
order, pitchforked into the positions of
ministers, heads of bureaus and what
not, mainly because.t they were strangers,
were not identified with the country, or
connected with anybody in it, or as the
Bulletin might say, in any way "insu-
lar" Well, we have watched the ca
reers of these various kinds OF people,
their official proceedings, their personal
characters and individual peculiarities as
time has made the same manifest, and
if those who had been subjected to in
sular" influences for many years, or a
lifetime, have not compared very favor
ably in ability, in integrity, and even in
liberality and breadth of mind, with
those who had enjoyed the continual adj
vantages of Cosmopolitan" environ
ment, we are certainly very much mis-
taken. There may be those who believe
that the good of the country would be
promoted by bouncing" the present
government, particularly Messrs. Thurs
ton and Ashford, and filling their places
with, say, the editor of the Bulletin, and
such congenially metropolitan or cos
mopolitan" associates as he would be
likely to gather about him. We beg, re-
spectfully, to differ.

The Inventor of steam Navigation.

On the 18th of October next hundred
years will have elapsed since the expert
ment was made on Dalswinton Loeb, in
Dumfriesshire, which proved that yes
sells might be propelled by steam; and
we are glad to see the suggestion thrown
out by a patriotic Scotsman in New York
that something should be done in the
way of paying tribute to the memory
of William Symington, the ingenious
native of Leadhills, to whom the expert
ment was due. In 1889 a larger steamer.
built under Symington's instructions,
was launched on the Forth and CLYDE
Canal land in 1902 his Charlotte Dundas
proved itself still better adapted for navi-
cation. Fulton's steamboat did not
make its appearance on the Hudson till
four years after he had been on board
Symington's third steamer. The real
pioneer of steam navigation died in Lon
don in poverty in the March of 1881,
after long and painful illness. He was
inferred in the churchyard of st. Bot
olph, Aldgate, but the exact site of his
grave is unknown Glasgow Mail.

THE White Chapel, London, murders
are the great sensation of the present
time in the history of crime. It does
seem marvellous thing that within the
space of a few months no less than six
murders should be committed in a
populous district, and the perpetrator be
able to defy detection.
The horrible thing about such crimes
is that they call forth imitators. It is
one of the worst features of human ma
ture that when some terrible crime is
committed it sets a CHASTITY fashion in
crime. Murder is as infectious as small
pox, suicide as catching as yellow fever.
and once the poison is sowu, a fertile
crop springs up. This has been seen
again and again In the history of man
kind. In the first or second century of
the Christian era there was fashion for
numbering husbands in Rome, a few
months ago the same fashion ran through
a German town. A couple of hundred
years ago suicide ran, as a disease.

1t only required one crank to Jump from

The New York Times says: There is
general comment on the fact that the Ems
and Saale, which left New York a day
apart last week, arrived in southampton
with variation of only fifty minutes in
their respective positions, that fraction
of time representing the gain of the
Saale in run of $3.50 miles. The clock
work regularity with which the North
German Lloyd vessels ply between the
two ports like that of ferry-boats across
the Hudson is probably the most re-
markable feature in all the phenomena
of modern ocean travel.

"Ho, FOR SUNDERLAND"

A little song for bedtime,
When, robed in gowns of white,
AL sleepy little children
Set sail across the night
For that pleasant, pleasant country
Where the pretty dream flowers blow,
'Twixt the sunset and the sunrise,
"For the Slumber Islands, hora
When the little ones get drowsy
And heavy lids droop down
To hide blue eyes and black eyes,
Gray eyes and eyes of brown,
A thousand boats for Dreamland
Are waiting in a row
And the ferrymen are calling,
"For the Slumber Islands, hor"
Then the sleepy little children
Fill the boats along the shore,
And go sailing Off to Dreamland;
And the dipping of the oar
In the Sea of Sleep makes music
That the children only know
When they answer to the boatmenNs
"For the Slumber Islands, hoI"
Obi take a kiss, my darlings.
Ere you sail away from me
In the boat Of dreams that's waiting
To bear you DER the sea-;
Take a kiss and give one,
And then away you go
A-sailing into Dreamland,

The New York Girl's Capabilities.

The average New York girl is not the
useless butterfly that she is considered by
the country people among whom she
spends the summer. The hard working
farmer pauses to glance after her with
an humph! in his eyes, if not on his lips.
He considers her foolish to waste admit
ration on the Towering weeds-pests, he
calls them-that grow in his meadow.
She is too much given to enthusiasm over
common things, he thinks, and is able
only to display pretty clothes. But the
New York girl can drive better han the
farmer can, and she can ride, that is, she
could ride if she could find a horse, for
saddle horses in the farming country are
rs ysre as blue roses. She can row and
swim, and as for walking, she can out
distance any farmers daughter on a
tramp. She is not afraid of tan. In
deed, she courts it, and would V
think of disfiguring her pretty head by
wearing those denominations called sun
bonnets that country girls use. Then she
can cook, for she has attended the cook
ing school during the winter, and knows
how to get up half a dozen dishes at
least. She can draw and paint, too; and
if the old farmers house were hers, she
would decorate it with her own hands SO
that the present owner would never
recognize it. Certainly the New York
girl is full of New York

Abont Artincln, Memory.

A great deal of talk is at the present
moment going on about artificial mem
ory, and some persons seem to think that
a bad memory can be turned into a good
one. No doubt constant practice will
improve the memory enormously, as it
does with actors, many of whom can
commit a part to memory in an aston
ishingly brief space of fine. But it is
hard to believe that anything useful can
come out of the system of mnemonics
which the so called professors teach. AS
a rule, making notes or memoranda is
likely to weaken the memory, and Tie

The Extra Fare Question.

Mr.. EDITOR Your correspondent
Citizen, thinks the people Of Annapolis
are Disseminated against because by an
arrangement between the Fair Association
aud The railroads fifteen cents is added
this week to the ordinary twenty five
cont ticket to Bay Ridge from Annapolis,
whilst no addition is made 10 the ordi-
nary seventy-five cent ticket from Balti
more or TO the one dollar ticket from
Washington to Bay Ridge.
The explanation is simple The rail-
roads give The Fair Association twenty
per cent. of the fare from Washington
aud Baltimore, instead of the special en-
trance fee of twenty-five cents-in other
words they pay the Fair Association
twenty cents for Washington visitors and
fifteen cents for those from Baltimore
This amount bore some approximation TO
the entrance fee. Now the twenty per
cent. on the usual twenty-five cent fare
from Annapolis to Bay Ridge would have
been the munifcent sum Of fce cents, and
yet the railroad could hardly have been
expected TO contribute more out of that
very smalisum Consequently the addi
tion Of fifteen cents had to be made to the

said to be in an unusually good condition
