gaging war ship on the high seas, but
they will be strong enough to attack any
steam vessel built for trading purposes
that might be armed in time of war
The Pirate, for example, could be sent
into the English Channel and stay there
fonr weeks without recoaling. She could
keep away from the sironcad vessels
sent in search OF her, and could destroy
every ship that put to sea or returned to
that friendly haven. designed her

do. She will be rapid enough to over
haul any merchantmen. do not mean
by this that she will always be able to
run down and capture vessel like the
City of Paris, because in rough sea it
is quite possible the steamer would out
sail her, but in the average sea the Pi-
rate can squirt for elk or eight hours
faster than the heetest transatlantic

9 certain merchant here in Boston which
strikes me us being particularly wise and
profitable. Every night on his return home,
either just before dinner or Immediately after

utes to half an hour in thinking over the
events of the day. Considering in the sol-
tude and silence of his library the various
transactions in which he has taken part, he
concludes in what respect be has done wisely
in what respect foolishly, and draws al -sp-
