sHAKY WAR SHIPS.

It is the custom in this untry to laugh at our navy and to point to that of Great Britain as an example of what g navy should be. But distance lends enchantment to the view, and much fault is being found in Eng land with the new war ships. The new cruiser Barrosa, which has just gone through that portion of her test known as the gun trials, has been found badly shaken by the discharge of her heavy guns, so that 1t was necessary to put her in repair immediately. The Basham and the Bellona, cruisers of the same order, are also said to be exhibiting great structural weakness and to be badly strained by the shock of their quick-6ring guns. The Nile, another of this set of cruis. CTS, is in the dock at Portsmouth, but is in so great danger of breaking down of her own weight that she is upheld by a perfect forest of shores, which are planted | beneath her. Says an English jour. | nal: A serious collision between any two of the British ironclads would eend one ol the other to the bottom. That would be al' most a certainty, and it would scarcely neet much of an argument to demonstrate it. | | Is not always the apparent strength ot yes sel that is proof against dangerous result from collision, for strength means weight and the momentum of mass of 10000 o more tons, even in an apparently slight col lision, is likely to result disastrously. Ther have been accidents with American navs vessels that have aroused public condemns tion of the ssamanship of their commanders
 but who can recall such disasters as that (
 the collision of the Iron Duke and the Var
 guard in Dublin bay; the stranding of th
 Sultan in the Mediterranean year ago, an
 the sinking of the Grosser Kurfurst o

WOMEN AT PUBLIC DINNERS.
 James Payn Says Their Exciusfon | Considered Judicious.

t9ames Pnyn in London Worid-l
 The question, ''Shall the Fair Sex Be Ad- mitted 10 Public Dinnersf" has been exciting some interest. It seems to have been de- cided that when the object of such entertain ment is "subscriptions" they shall not bs 80. It is urged against them, not uniustly, that, though they are willing enough that their husbands should draw out their cheek books for aesthetic and ornamental purposes con- nected with the house, and (especisllyl the wardrobe, they exercise a deterrent influence in the matter of public donations. ''I think my dear, fi would be ample. and if you had been drinking as little wine as have you would think so, too."
 If the gentleman has drunk too much wine, and is of an obstinate disposition. this re- monstraDee might possibly help "the char ity," but in most cases 1t would certainly hinder it. The exclusion of the ladies from charity dinners may therefore be considered judioious. But as regards other public ban quets, it does seem an ungsllsut thing to in- vlte them to sit in gallery" to see men eat and drink of the best tor what they inno- gently believe 10 be sol, while they them- selves are fobhed off with coffee and finger | biscuits. The objection that their presence | at the table would curtsil or postpone cigar smoking would of course be fatal If 1t
 were valid; but, as Is observed in "Box aud | Cox" 1t is in the nature of tobacco smoke, \ or other kinus OI tnOkes 10 hsccnut nuu
 ii is therefore in the gallery that they gel most of it.
 As that situation is more or less out o hearing, one may say that the only sens
 that is at present grstiiei in the ladies' cas-
 st public dinners Is the olfacsory one; the,

 In ancient times "mest offering" and

Natures Boon 10 Land Lubbers. From the Savannah News.l

There is 6 spring in Tslisferro county in this state which furnishes water which it is said will cure nausea in almost every tn- stance. The owners of the spring have an idea that it will cure sessickness- They have had it tried on the steamships of the Boston line of the New England steamship company, and are satisfied with the test. They have tried it also on the New York line of the Ocean steamship company. On the last trip of the Kansas City the water was administered to those who were seasick by Dr. Greene, who represented The owners of the spring. The Kansas City reached Sa- vannsh yesterday, and the doctor said be was grstified with the result or his experi- ments.- There were ten passengers seasiek on the trip to New York and three on the re- turn trip. The water erred them all. One of those cured was the Hon. Nsausp -Clss- ton. He is 6 regular land lubber-

with all the accompanying distress. These symptoms constantly grow worse and are re- lieved by increasing quantities of coffee un- til the victim is a physical wreck.
 Porpoise shooting Is the newest sport at Cape May. The sesweed end of the pier is the favorite rendezvous for those who want to get shot at the swiftly moving fish. The marksman must have steady hand and always be in readiness to shoot, because the movements of the porpoise are SO uncertain that one does not have time to raise the gnn to the shoulder before they are out of sight beneath the water. The women take az much interest in the sport as the men, and quite @ number are out every afternoon Perched on the lower deck of the pier rife in hand and waiting for good chance to shoot. The sport seems to lie more in the attempt to capture big game than in successful resulis. as it is quite rare for one of the fish to be killed and washed up on the shore.
 The notes provided for by the new silver bill will be of eight denomination, as follows: $1, g, $5, $10, $aO. $50, $1o0, 900. While each note has distinctive designs outside of it's value designation, they will all resemble | in form and general characteristic the present legal tender note. They will all be printed in black on the face, and in green on the back. A new feature of the notes, intend. ed to prevent raising or alteration, is the printing of their value in big block letters across the back. The notes will differ from all previous issues in bearing ths words "United States of America" in' stead of simply "Unitea States" They will cay on their face that they are re deemable in coin, and on their backs tha they are legal tender for all debts, publi and private.
