Mans Best Friend.

Among the many letters of query before
me, | select one from man. His question
is: "Why is woman mans best friend? In
what respects does she show it most p
Well, my friend, this seems little late
in the worlds history to ask this ques-
ton. But since you have asked it l will
answer 1t.
First and foremost woman is mans best
friend
Because she is his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because she is patient with him in ILL
ness, endures his fretfulness and mothers"
him.
Because she will stick to him through
good and evil report, and always believe
in him, il she loves him.
Because without her he would be rude,
rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the value of
gentle words, of kindly thought and Of
consideration.
Because she can with him endure pain
quietly and meet Joy gladly.
Because, on her breast, he can shed tears
of repentance, and he is never reminded
of them afterwards.
Because when he is behaving like a fret
full boy-and we all do, you know, at times
with no reason in the world for it,
woman's soft word, touch or glance will
make him ashamed Of himself, as he ought
to be.
Because without her as an incentive he
would grow lazy; there would be no good
work done, there would be no noble books
written, there would be no beautiful pic
lures painted, there would be no divine
strains of melody.
Because she has made for US beautiful
world in which we should be proud to live,
and contented to die.
Because-and this is the best reason Of
all-when the world has reached an unen-
viable state of wickedness, the blessed task
of bringing it Saviour for all mankind
was given to a woman, which was Gods
way of setting his seal of approval on her
who is mother, wife, daughter and sweet
heart, and, therefore, mans best friend

VANDALISM IN A NAVY YARD.
Efforts to Sink United States Vessels nj
Brpokiyn by Discharged Employees.

The Secretary of the Navy has new problem
before him. or he will have as soon as the ma
ehiperv of his office gets ID to him. that prom
ises to become one of the most troublesome
questions of his administration, involving the
entire matter of politics In navy yards as an
tasonizsd by the efforts of skill and science on
the Part Of the navy. Saturday bold attempt
was made. 40 the officers Of the yard allege, to
sink the United States monitor Terror as she
was being gOated from the great drydOck. which
was fooled only by the greatest endeavors.
Constructor Mintonye. who has charge of the
completion of the vessel, recently caused the
dismissal from the yard of several workman. the
cause alleged being inefficioncy. They had been
appointed for political reasons, and proved, il
il stated. unable to perform the duties assigned
them. They had been Longing around the yard
shortly before the water let into the dock.
and il il supposed that they managed to slip
on board the vessel within the thirty minutes
that elapsed between the final closing of all of
the valves and the word 10 food the dock.
and that they then continued to- SO loosen one
of the valves "a 90 allow the water To- pour into
the hold of the vessel nearly as fast as il rose
in the dock. The ship foatcd in half an hour
from the time that tho first streams flowed into
the dock and the accident was discovered
almost immediately. ~ the great hull began to
settle- The dock valves were closed. the great
pumps were started, anu as the ship settled she
shored up from the sides and held over her
keel blocks. so that she soon rested again on
her bed. Twenty minutes of great exertion were
necessary to the ship from sinking or
settling in such a manner TO strain herself.
Constructor Nintonye started an investigation
at once. and new has the suspected men under
surveillance. He has been assured by those
who were on the vessel when the water was let
into the dock that all the valves were properly
closed thirty minutes before. The facts in the
case. as rapidly as they can be scect4ined. will
be laid before the Secretary. an ]. in view of
other accidents that have happ ned in the
yard of late, it il no. improbable that
court Of inquire will be ordered.
One of these accidents quite similar to
that Of Saturday. The Miantcnomah was also
discovered to be sinking when let out of the
dock and only the greatest efforts saved her.
The other was an attempt to sink the Galena.

day afternoon. Aleak had been caused through

about eighteen inches of water in the hold when
the condition of the ship was discovered.

Ths mnst nrnnninent featura Of aatnrriax's

Saturday.
The mcst prominent feature Of saturday
senatorial debate was Mr.. spooner's speech on
the election bill II was powerful effort and
on all sides was acknowledged to be the strong
est argument yet put forth by the friends of the
measure. IL was listened to with the closest at
tention by more than ordinarily large number
of Senators and occupants Of the galleries.
The surprise of the day, though, was the pro-
lection Of senator ingalls, into the discussion.
No one expected him to say anything prior to
sonic definite action by the Kansas legislature.
and agrest many Senators enormously supposed
hs had left the city. If Mr.. George was one of
this latter class he probably discovered his
error before the Senate adjourned Mr.. In
gals made no direct argument in favor of the
bill but confined himself to remarks on the
constitution of the state Of Mississippi and the
condition ~ the colored voters of that com

Of loving pride ON his face that no artist could
catch no matter how cunning his brush. For
at least iive minutes he stood lost his contem-
