The British Navy GROWING.


During the year 1891 there were
launched from the shipbuilding yards
in the kingdom for the navy nineteen
vessels of nearly 100000 tons, the cost
when completed being e5, 1854, 5S7, while
the year before the vessels launched
were only 1880 tons, and worth GO, 25O,.
900. The principal vessels have, Of
course, been launched from the royal
dockyards, from which eight vessels of
6S,100 tons were floated, as compared
with eight vessels of 22,520 tons in the
previous year. The vessels launched for
the navy in 1891 include three immense
battle ships of Ia, $50 tons, having twin
engines to give them a speed of Tx
knots.
They will each have four elton guns,
which can easily penetrate twenty-five
inches Of armor. These ships cost $780,
600 each. There were also three first
class cruisers of about $500 tons, to
steam about twenty knots an hour.
They will each have two 22-ton guns.
These cruisers will cost G370,000 each.
The other vessels were small, high speed
cruisers, each costing about G1S0,000.
They will travel twenty knots an hour,
and are made to keep at sea sar long
periods on foreign stations, 0lAl1Am4na

Murdered in Court.

Great excitement was created in Part I of
the Court of General Sessions New York. last
week when Max Clerget was deliberately mur-
dered by Edward Divins, brother Of 15-year-
old Sarah Divins whom Max Clerget had just
pleaded guilty of assaultng. The prisoner was
on his way back to the prisoners pen when
Edward Divins stood up and fired shot from
revolver which struck Clerget in the body.
The shot passed through his heart causing in
slant death The murderer gave as cause for
the killing that Clerget ruined his sister The
murdered man was about five feet 10 inches in
hight, and had a repulsive appearance
General sympathy is expressed for Divins,
whose brain is thought to have been turned by
the ruin of his sister, who was his pet and fa-
vOrite.
The crime for which Max Clerget pleaded
guilty was as follows: Sarah Divins, 15-year
old girl, who lived with her married sister, was
left alone in the house on June IS to mind
her sisters baby. Max Clerget, messenger
boy, who boarded in the sane house. entered
the house on the evening of the 18th, and
finding the girl alone made advances to her.
which she refused. Then he threw her down
and accomplished his purpose. The girl wept
bitterly. and Clerget offered her cents, asking
her to dry her tears and not to tell of what
happened. He made no attempt to escape, but
loitered around the neighborhood until the
return of the girls sister, aud begged of her
that his fault might be forgiven. But there
was no alternative other than Clerget should
answer for his act

Snake Poison.

Nature seems to have provided that no poison
which acts externally shall have any effect in
ternally and vice versa Thus the most deadly
snake venom can be swallowed with impunity,
the Juice of the stomach presumably decom-
posing 1t and rendering it harmless. Many ex-
periments have been made to prove this. On
one occasion recorded by Humboldt one person
swallowed the whole of the poison that could
be obtained from four Italian vipers without
suffering any bad consequences. In the same
way the poison from the envenomed arrows of
South American Indians can be swallowed with
safety, provided only that there is no wound on
the lips or inside of the mouth.
Snake.bites are always dangerous. and should
be attended to as soon as possible as the
venom spreads very rapidly, particularly in
warm weather The following recipe is per-
fectly reliable, and being simple, is easily OBJ
tained Take an onion and cut it crosswise.
and hold one. half of it on the wound until it
turns green. Apply persistently and the onion
will finally draw out all the poison. Many old
woodsmen will not be without several onions
this time of year when in the woods.
The old white haired darky that first gave
me this recipe has spent the best portion of his
life in the swamps, where the rattesnake, cop
perhead and other deadly reptiles abound, and
he assured me he has never known il to fail.
A strong ligature should be tied tightly above
and below the bite to prevent the poison
spreading through the system. COpious
drauqhts of brandy should be given freely. A
little ammonia taken internally Is very good
also. The above simple remedy IS equally as
good for beast as for man.

The ya1edictorian.

The father had come to the commencement
exercises, and the son was showing him the
sights.
See that heavy set fellow over there by tie

the campus.
yes who's he?" responded the father
with commcndable curiosity.
Hes our champion football kicker, and
that one he's talking to leads the record in base
ball."
"Ahl and who's the tall chap with the Ian
tern jaws?"
He's our champion tennis-piayer. Nobody
in the State can swing racket in the same
atmosphere he does"
Proud of him, suppose?" ventured the
father.
"You bet we are and so we are of the dark
haired fellow down there by the gate. He's
our crack oarsman and best all-round gymnast.
Rare combination, but he's corker, is Jimmie, !"
and the son threw a kiss at Jimmie.
''By the way" inquired the father, "who is
valedictorian of the class this year?"
The son looked at his father questioningly.
"Valedictorian ?" he asked with a puzzled
look.
"Yes. valedictorian ?" repeated the father.
"And what's that, I'd like to know?" came
from the son next, and the father went right
down to the first train and got on board.

Canoe Life.
ILfpDincotpsl

Modern canoeing originated with Capt. John
MacGregor a traveller and explorer, familiar
with nearly all the waters and boats OF the
world, who in his search for novel and attract
i've means of travel took up the crude and prm-
tive form of decked padding canoe once used
to small extent on English rivers and set to
work 10 produce from il craft suitable for his
purpose of solitary voyages on strange waters.
The result was the Rob Roy canoe. in which
his notable cruises on the Rhine, the Baltic,
and the Jordan were made, a craft so nearly
perfect that after 25 years of development and
Improvement il still stands alone as distinct
type of modern canoe. General types by the
score and special models by the hundred have
since been produced. filling in the whole scale
from the l0-pound paddlcr 10 the small cruis-
ing yacht, but the Rob Roy of Capt MacGregor,
in the condition in which he left it, is still
recognized by canoeists as one of the three or
-four distinctive types Of cruising canoe.
From this little craft, and from the voyages
made in ii. has grown up pleasure-heet of
thousands of canoes, while the sport Of canoe.
ing has expanded aud developed into the sew.
eral distinct branches of cruising, pleasure
padding and sailing, and racing.
Each OF these branches has its host of devo-
tees; the racing canoe, both sailing and pad
ding. has become a subject of special study
with many ardent racing men; but it is in its
original junction as q means OF travelling that
the canoe appeals TO the largest number.
Given a watercourse over four inches in
depth and six feet in width, the completely
equipped cruising canoe offers every convent
ence for travel which the canoest can reason
ably demand. Ii is a means of conveyance. its
sails or its light double bladed paddle carrying
him along the watery highway; it is hotel,
its mess-chest and its tiny stove rnishing his
meals while rugs and blankets unroled from
its capacous interior make snug and comfort
able bed in the cockpit; and it is his home, its
neat little tent and its many odd receptscles
af1ording him place TO read and WRITE and
providing room for clothing. books, rod, gun,
and numberless conveniences. Depending on
external sources only for fresh supply of food

longed indefinitely, the charm and variety Of
the last week of Summers cruise being no
| less than that of threedays' outing.

Admission of New States.

No one questions the right Of the United
States Government to impose conditions upon
a Territory seeking admission into the Union.
For very many years Congress has insisted, in
admitting new State that it shall adopt a
certain policy, but the extent to which the
right is now exercised is very much greater
than was dreamed of by the Federal legislators
of the early days of the Republic. Instead of
the enabling act like that admitting Kentucky,
simply consenting to the admission of the new
State, we have now an elaborate law undertake
ing to limit the power of the people over their
Constitution.
At first this preliminary restraining act was
confined to provisions setting aside lands and
townships for schools universities, and roads,
but recently there was passed an enabling act
which denies the franchise to all people
who profess belief in Mormonism. And
while these laws cannot be binding upon the
people of the States, and cannot prevent their
amendment Of their Constitutions in direct
contrayention Of the enabling acts, they ndi
cate state of popular opinion concerning the
relation of the Federal Government TO the
States, general acceptance of the idea that the
General Government, or the Nation, has the
right to insist that Territory seeking State
hood shall possess certain qualifications and
make certain pledges before it can be permitted
to become member of the Union.
And there is no doubt that very large num-
ber OF people would consider the subsequent
adoption of constitutional amendment op-
posed to the provisions of the enabling act as
breach of faith. Indeed, within a very short
time there has been dispute as to whether
the State of Mississippi has the right to limit
the suffrage by the imposition of an educational
qualification.
All this is very different from the spirit
which animated the original 13 States, for in
the day when they were supreme there dwelt
al. a., frt,n IL,
who would not have resented the faintest sug-
gestion that Congress might impose any con-
ditions upon tue peoples rights to frame their
own State Constitutions. The Federal Con-
stitution, with it's limited grant of powers,
alone restrained the States.

Peary's Relief Expedition.

The expedition for the relief Of Lieut. Peary
sailed on Monday the 7th instant from the Red
Cross Line Dock, Brooklyn, on the steamer
Miranda, under command of Prof. Angelo
Heilprin. This vessel will take the party as far
as ST. Johns, N. B., where connections will be
made with the steamer Kite, which will carry
them to Greenland. They will follow the
coast to Godhaven. At that point Interpreters,
sedge. teams and dogs will be procured and the
journey continued to Upernavik, which is the
most northern town in Greenland. It is ex-
pected that the trail of the Peary band will be
found at an early day.

BETWEEN two and three o'clock
Wednesday morning very unfor-
tunate affair occurred in Memphis.
About seventY-tive masked men
entered the Shelby County jail. and
took therefrom Calvin Mcdowell,
Tom Moss and Will Stewart, col
ored, and shot them, Eear the
Chesapeake and Ohio yards. These
negroes were ringleaders in the as
sault on the deputies at the Curve
Saturday night. The origin of the
trouble was a fight about two weeks
ago between a white boy and a
negro. After the difficulty, the
father of the white boy gave the
negro a thrashing. The negroes
of the neighborhood took eXcep-
tons to this feature of the affair,
and wedt IN search of the white
man who had thrashed the negro
boy. He was found at home, aud
a fight ensued between him anu
one of the crowd. A squad of white
men assembled and drove the ne
grte from the yard. Owing to
threats and inflammatorY speeches
by the negroes, the whites become
alarmed and appealed to Jddge Du-
Bose for protection. The first of
the week the Judge issued bench
warrant for the arrest of several of
the negroes. On Monday night
some of the officers who went out
to arrest the parties named in the
warrant we're fired upon aud
Deputy Sherlffs Cole, Yerger,
Harold and Weber were wound
ed. Thirty-two negroes have been
arrested, charged with being i'm
plicated in the riot. The three
killed we're among the number.

Farmers Institute.

Saturday being the time appoint
ed for the Folding of the (Astitute,
several farmers of the county were
in attendance. Among the number
we noticed FL. B.. Wrilht, John L.
Low, r. w. Smith and w. A.
Carut hers. This quartette is a fair
representation of Dur most progress
sive and successful farmers, aud
they are not only competent, but
are willing and anxious to ad wise
with aud disclose to their fellow far
mers the methods used by them in
attaining success. The meeting.
was not only social, but Instructive,
and We regret that larger number,
of our farmers were not present.
The same subj ects discussed atthe
last meeting will be taken up again
at The next meeting, whic h is To- be
held in this place ON the second
Saturday in next month, and I'VE
do earnestly invite and request all
who are interested in farming to be
present. No farmer is SO proficient
that he may not derive some bene.
fit from the experience of others;
and as the Institute was organized
partly for the purpose Of bringing
farmers together 10 interchange
ideas, they should most certainly
encourage the cause by their pres
ence. Those In attendance at the
last meeting were unanimous in the
opinion that the present price of
cotton was below the cost of pro-
duction. 1t was recommended that
more grain be cultivated and less
cotton.
