AMERICAN STEAMSHIP LINES,

the recommendations contained in my
last annual message in relation to the
delelopment Of American steamship
lines. The reciprocity clause of the
tariff bill will be largely limited and its
benefits retarded and diminished, il pro.
vision is not contemporaaeously made
to encourage the establishment OF first
class steam communication between our
ports aud the ports OF such nations as
may meet our oyerturcs for enlarged
commercial exchanges. The steamship,
carryingth mails stately and frequent.

bic, safe and speedy transit, is the first
condition Of foreign trade. 1t carries
the order or the buyer, but not all that

chief difficulty in the way is to secure

to legislation. Which should be based
upon full inquiry and impartial tests.
The purpose should be to secure the CO.
operation OF all well disposed managers

Nor should it be forgotten that eycry

OUR GROWING NAVY. a.
The construction and equipment OF
tho now ships for the navy have made
very satisfactory progress. Since March
4, 1850, nine new vessels hays been put
in commission, and during this winter
four more, including one monitor, will
be added. The construction oithe other
vessels authorized is being pushed, both
in the Government and private yards,
with energy and watched with the most
scrupulous care. The experiments con.
Quoted during the year to test the rel.
alive rcsisting power Of armor plates
have been go valuable rs to attract
great attention in Europe. The only
part Of tho work upon tho new ships
that is threa med by unusual delay is
the armor plating, and every effort is
being made to reduce that to the mini
mum. 1t is q source OF congratulation
that the anticipated influence OF these
modern vessels upon the Esprit de corps
OF the officers and seamen has been fully
realized. CONFIDENCE and pride in the
ship among the crew ara equivalent t

consideration is invited to tho recon
mendations OF the Secretary, t

The efforts OF the Secretary to increase
the volume OF money in circulation by
keeping down the treasury surplus to
the lowest practicable limit have been
unremitting and in very high degree
successful. Tho tables presented by
him showing tho increase OF money cir
cuiation during the last two decades, aud
especially tho table showing the increase
during the nineteen months he has ad.
lninistered the affairs OF the department.,
are interesting and instructive. The in.
crease OF money in circulation during

aggregate sos. $50, SIS, or about 81 so per
capita, and Of this increase only 81 ,l00,-

aid given TO commerce resulted in an
enormous reduction OF the public debt,
and Of tho annual interest charge is a
matter OF increased satisfaction. There

since March 1, 1850, 4 and AZ per cent

reduction of the annual interest charge

I notice with great pleasure the state
ment OF tho, Secretary that the receipts

creased during tho last fiscal year nearl,
4 Sl2,000,000 and that the cost OF collect

Here are few points III card eth

member:
The card should be written or print
ed. Never use blank card unless
Blank happens to be your name.
White cards are considered IN the
best taste, even in the best colored SO
ciety.
The eentleman's card should con-
tain nothing except the name and ad-
dress of the caller. It is bad taste 10
have ones business written on it, par
ticularly if ne be an undertaken and
there is sickness IN the house.
When calling on any one al hotel,
send your card and await q reply ID
the reception room. 1t is not good
form TO visit the bar more than twice
while waiting.
If two or more ladies are II tns
household, the turning down of cor.
ner signifies that the card is for al
the ladies. Turning around g corner
Immediately after leaving indicates
That the caller is thirst y and Is looking

Mud ThrOwers.

II was on Cass avenue car and The
Man About Town watched the con-
ductor as ne sponged OF the hecks OF
mud from the seats. The streets were
not very muddy and there seemed TO be
an unusual amount of dirt to be clear
ed of, SO he asked the conductor how
it happened that the seats were 50
dirty, and this was the answer ne got:
do you see them little mules9
Well, little mules step higher and
quicker than big bosses, and conse-
quentIy they scatter more mud Ii one
trip than hosses do In three"
Perhaps everybody knows this, but
it was news to The Man About Town
and he thought as he pinched of g
fresh dab of soft mud from the Sleeve
Of his Prince Albert that maybe the
ear company used little mules which
stepped high and quick On purpose To
spatter its patrons The older man
