that that that ina LADY Gyp profgesss;ed gs; great admira Mira

duller, perhaps, than the other reading

fanoied that Miss Cleveland acquaintance
with the works of the philosopher of
Weimar might not be so intimate as ru-

on the lady,, base conspiracy was en-

writers. One of Goethe's most popular
poems was hit upon and translated into
English verse in this wise:
The Night.

or the solitude OF Night;
Nay, tits the time for gladness,

Mr.. INGALLS, article in yesterdays edi-
iion Of New York Truth, isrepublished
iin.this issue of THE Critic. Like every
thing else that Mr.. INGALLS, says or writes,
it is vigorous, pointed, and interesting,
We find in it, however, nothing Of a
sensational character - nothing to JUS
tify the kilograms which appeared
in the morning papers concerning
il. Mr.. INGALLS, has treated the regu-
lar annual war scare just as any
stber sensible man would have done, and,
for that matter, just as it has been treated
a hundred times already. OF course he
siess this in his own vivid and pungent
way. which few writers of the time can
cgusl; but the fact remains that the mat
tel, OF his screed is eminently practical
and homely.
We do not fully recognize the force Of
Mr.. INGALLS, criticism Of our Navy, how
sver. Does he mean to say that, because
the improvement in naval architecture
and armament is so constant and so
rapid, II Is a mistake to build any ships
NJ alp :, Is it his idea that we should fall
ont Of the march Of progress and
sit idle, waiting until perfection
shalfhaye been achieved? That wouId
mean no Navy now or hereafter. We
think our brilliant friend, to whom we
btg TO renew. all possible assurances of
admiration and esteem, is at fault, IL this
be his proposition, Whatever our ships
may be ten or fifteen years hence they
are at least effective now. We are well TO
lie fore-we can easily stay there. That
Is the limit Of human power.
MIR. INGALLS, takes thoroughly just
view of the danger to be apprehended
from Great Britain and Of the dependence
fo be placed in our own resources should
emergency arise. Nobody expects war
with England. There is no reason why
war should come. But nobody need be
afraid If II should ensue, and the country
is not listening with any special solicitude
to the jeremiads which Mr.. INGALLS, 50
brilliantly and so effectively explodes.
