A Signature That Escapes Criticism.

A document which was filed in the New York registers office recently bore a signature which would puzzle an expert to decipher. There was a bold start, a wild zigzagging of pen marks up and down and finally tangle which might be taken 10 mean any thing that suited the fancy of the reader Yet nobody felt called upon to crticise the penmanship, for the signature was at the bottom of the trust deed by which Baron Maurice de Hirsch gave $2.400o GOO to emeliorate the condition of Hebrew immigrants to this country from Russia and Rouma- mia. The baron has fortune which some people say amounts to $100.00 900. Others put it at $200. 900, 900, but the difference is immaterial. When man gets up above $50, GOO, 900 nobody will bother about his skill with writing tools. In fact, some of the critics in the registers office skilled in such matters gave the baron's sigma ture little praise. They said it was prettier than Jay Goulds, anyhow.

CASTLE WILLIAMS.

The torpedo boats and the whole torpedo system have been slowly and surely developing; the experimental mortar, firing so as to land shells withinforts or upon the decks of ap- preaching vessels has been constantly advancing, and many good guns of long range are in existence. Our out CT forts can be put in order upon both approaches to New York harbor, so that Italy, with her best ironclads could not get past our naval squadron, our torpedo arrangements and our shore batteries into any ofiing that would enable her to practice upon the Brooklyn bridge or the postoffice building.
 The account of the recent conflict in the war now progressing in Chili Is apro- pos and indeed demonstration of the present value of defensive works works properly located and manned. The iron-clad Blanco belonging to the insurgents, in an attempt to blow up the armed government tug Florence, encountered a hot fire of shot and shell from the forts under whose guns the Florence was moored. The Blanco could not withstand this fire, and was forced to leave the harbor. The same night 0 torpedo boat and the Flor ence steamed out of the harbor to at tack the Blanco. The iron-elad, in

To Defend Our Coasts With a Navy Alone Is mpracticable--Th Lines of Defense fo~
 HarbOrs.

In view of the recent war-cloud over theNew Orleans affair it may be well to stop and calmly consider what de- fense this country affords to her sea- ports and harbors. Accession should arise to plunge the country into the horrible vortex of war with a foreign power, which although being state of affairs greatly to be deplored, is liable at any time to arise, what protection would be afforded against the pow erful men-of-war of other countries, what would prevent one of Great Britain or Italy's gigantic engines of war from destroying New York and laying desoiate the whole Atlantic or Pacific seaboard. The fishery trouble, the Behring sea difficulty and the strikrs amongst the ignorant foreign CTS, who have been born and bred to abominate good government, all these teach us we should have our lines of defense well arranged and in place.
