Whether the recent trouble between this
country and Italy amounts to anything
more serious than a war of words, one
thing is certain, and that is that this
country is lsmentably deficient in its coast
and harbor defences and is possessed of no
navy worthy the name. This is certainly
poor statescraft and unworthy great
nation like our own. Just look at it.
Suppose we should become involved in a
war W it'll the weakest power in Europe,
say Portugal for illustration, see what a
ridiculous not to say humilitsting attitude
this country would assumed Portugal with
her bare four million cf inhabitants
could bring into the field larger number
of trained soldiers than all the regular
army and organized militia of the United
States. More than this there is not a
harbor along cur Atlantic coast into which
single modern ship of war might not
easily force an entrance, though opposed
by every vessel of our navy. Nor is there
fort along the whole ceast that could
prevent such ship from lying outside oil
any ceastwisu city and destroy it by shell.
lag.
In view of these facts isn't it high time
that our statesmen at Washington look
somewhat to the defence of a country that
bat recently had the largest surplus and
the smallest army of any first class power
oa the globe.

Italy aud the United States are not talk
ing war now as they were few weeks
since and the present may be a good time
to review the contingencies involved
in such contest. As editor Oscar Du-
rante, of Il Nalta, said recently, Il thiuk
Italy could make il very warm for the
United States for few months, but the
result could only be favorable to the
American nation" AS a naval power
Italy Goes not rank with England or
France, but at the same time has one of
the largest fleets aud most efficient war
vessels afioat The official data of the
entire strength of the Italian navy dow
to JAN 1st 1890, was as follows: War
S6S; horse power 3l3. 038; guns G26; crew S
Is, 250, aud they were building at that time
additional vessels of G3 $40 tonnage and
116. 700 horse power. So much for Italy
On the other hand when Commodor
Ramsey (whose bureau would, in case OF
war, be the one to outline and direct plans
of campaign on the waters) was asked,
"How many battle ships do you suppose
we haye?' Answer, just one-the double
turreted monitor Miantonomah-now at
New York navy yard aud she is still in
complete" 1T is idle" he continued, ITO
talk Of building navy in few months
The views set out by Senator Iagals in
his naval article are certainly not believed
by himself. lt is ridiculous to naval ex-
perts TO hear boasts of repeating what We
did during the war. Then we were pitted
against people without navy and almost
without the possibilities of one. We
swelled our naval list rapidly to over 500
vessels.
''But what did they amount to? Any
thing that would serve as a gun platform

New Jerseys late experience with the
barbed wire order of legislature and
Governor, will, we think, cause her voters
to banker less after that class ofstatesmen
in the future than ever in the past. The
Lord deliver US from anythng Rnoie serious
than we have already received at their
hands, aud when the next United States
Senator comes to be elected may it be by
the voice of the people and not through

Many thoughtful Americans are troubled
by the low quality OF emigrauts foeking
to our shores-Huns. Poles, low class ltal-
ians and the like. Some of the worst
weeds of Europe thrive luxuriantly on our
soil and are very hard to extirpate when
once fairly rooted. Better keep them
away when there than try to assimiiate
them when here.

Strange, alter all, how the nomenclature
of persons and places change. and that, toe,
sometimes within short life time and
coming too under our own observation.
OF family names the More is changed to
Moore; the Cattle to Cattell; Diol TO Dor
rel or Dorrell; the 0bdycke to Opdyke;
the Ramster to Remster; the Curliss to
Corlss; the Cerlin to Kerlin; the Cockman
to Cochran; the Hardwood to Howard;
the Ap1legate to Appelgate, Appligit, and
Appeget; the Singer to Stsnger; House
man to House; Purnell to Pawnell; Carle
to CARL; Bassett to McPherson; Gerrell to
Terrell; Windzell to Wentzell; Kats to Hates
Verniman to Vannaman; Freas to Fries etc.,
the most OF these being the names OF
persons now living, or who have lived in
this section of the county and state.
The changed -same of localities is but
little less marked and we illustrate the
following: Fairton, formerly Bum Bridge;
Alloxay, do. Thompson's Bridge, then
Allowaystown; Quinton, do, Quinton' s
Bridge; Greenville, Pennytown; Auburn,
Sculltown; Harrisonville, Pigs Eye; Willo"
Grove, Fork Bridge; Shirley, Swing's
Corner; Aldine, Watsou's Corner; Pleasant
vile, Five Points; Elmer, Pittstowp;
Gloucester City, Axwamus; Almonesson,
Sandtown; Centreton, Centerville; Cohan-
sey, New Boston, Middleton or Pentonvills,
Guineatowp;J Jericho, Milkmaid; Bridgeton,
Cohansey Bridge, Bridgetown; Greenwich,
Antioch, Greenwichtown, etc, and many
other names the readers will recall as
being something else from what they were
once known.

Mr.. Frederic Barnett, of London, has
published particulars of his automatic
system for perpetuaily ventilating and
purifying sewers, drains, etc. This COM
pHises the sealing of all existing apertures
at the level of the roads and the substi-
tuition of pipes connected with the crown
of the arch Of the sewer or drain. These
pipes pass under the footways and are
carried up to the roofs of the houses on
either side Of the road. Some of these
pipes would be devoted to the outlet Of
sewer gas, and the others to the inlet of
fresh air, these different duties being Sc
cured by variation in the length of the
pipes, and also by movable cowls at
their tops. those acting as inlet pipes
always opposing the wind direction, and
the outlet pipes turning the reverse way.
The system, which promises efficiency,
could not, however, be introduced with
out great expense and disturbance of the
road and footways. An alternative
plan, which was proposed some time
ago, of ventilating sewers seems to us
to meet tho difficulty in a cheaper and
more convenient manner. BY this meth
cd the sewers were connected by pipes
with hollow columns bearing gas burn
ers. An upward draught was by this
means secured, and the air from the
sewers was passed through a purifying
fame.-New York Telegram.

PLAYING Circus.

AS soon as a circus had been in town
the boys began to have circuses of their
own and to practice for them. Every
where you could see boys upside down,
walking on their hands or standing on
them with their legs dangling over or
stayed against house walls. 1t was easy
to stand on your head; one boy stood on
his head SO much that he had to have it
shaved in the brain fever that he had
got from standing on it, but that did
not stop the other fellows. Another boy
fell head downward from rail where
he was "skinning the cat," and nearly
broke his neck, and made it SO sore that
it was stiff ever so long.
Another boy who was playing Samson
almost had his left leg torn off by the
fellows that were pulling at it with a
hook, and he did have the leg of his pan
falcons torn off. Nothing could stop the
boys but time or some other play coming
in, and circuses lasted good while
Some of the boys learned to turn hand
springs; anybody could turn cart wheels;
one fellow across the river could just run
along and throw somersault and light
on his feet; lots of fellows could light on
their backs; but if you had spring
board or shavings under bank like
those by the turning shop you could
practice for somersaults pretty safely
