The highest rate Is attained by Nor

Sweden with 1885 per cent, while the
lowest rate Is Spain, with LOS per

IN answer to an inquiry, the New
York Sun recently named the ten
best American poets as follows:
Emerson, Poe, Longfellow, Bryant,
Whittier, Halleck, Lowell, Holmes,
and two ladies, Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe and Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke.
Whittier, after a life given to the
good of humanity and the enrich
ment of that which is best in litera-
ture, is dead at the ripe age of So
years. He did not have the Singh
larly marvellous genius of Poe or in
deed OF Halleck, nor was his poetry
marked by that finish and delicate
employment of words noticeable in
the works OF Longfellow, Lowell and
Holmes. He did not have the
dreamy vision or fancy Of the former,
nor the sprightly wit of the latter
poets He is, nevertheless, fully de-
serving Of high place in the Suns
list. He gave the earlier part of his
life to the slavery question, and
many of his best poems were inspired
by the earnestness and devotion
shown by him in this work. All
were poems of the heart, and each
carried good lesson.

.
statistics OF Disasters at ,sea-CompIied
from the Most Authentic Sources.
A recent number of Engineering
reviews as follows the statistics OF
disasters at sea collected by Lloyd's;
We hear much OF the many finely
modelled ships that are built from
time to time, but little of the many
vessels that are lost. Occasionally
public interest is excited by heroism
displayed in saving shipwrecked
crew; but in many cases the loss OF
the good ship is only indicated by a
line or two In the list OF casualties
in the daily papers. Who, for in
stance, would think that last year
sixty-eight vessels, the larger portion
ships, sailed from some port or other
and, according to LlOyd's annual re-
turn, never again were heard of, and
these, too. were fairly good-siZed
crafts? What of the crews? The
story can never be completed. the
sufferings may be but guessed at.
And Britain and her colonies have
more than their fair share, for while
we make up half OF the total losses
we contribute %, 500 out OF the ~, 100
tons which have thus passed out Of
record. The total of wrecks, too,
seems large, l,0S6 vessels OF $40, 946
tons, but It must be remembered that
there are probably always aioat on
the high seas over 10000, 900 tons or
shipping, which fact, although IL in
creases the surprise that so many YES
sells should be lost without any news,
indicates generally a fairly low ratio
Of loss, or 4 per cent. OF tonnage.
1t may be accepted as testimony in
favor Of steel, that of the total ton
mage loss only - per cent. was con-
structed OF this metal. while 40 per
cent. was of iron and AZ per cent. was
wood and composite vessels. But IL
should also be noted that the iron
and wooden vessels generally are old
er, so that age as well as material
may have contributed TO the result.
Again, ships bulk more largely than
steamers, the latter smaking 43 per
cent. and ships 81 per cent. OF the
total; but age again must be consid-
cred, for large number (124 vessels
of a., $40 toDs) were condemned and
broken up, against only 1885 tons
of steamers. A snip is more readily
abandoned at sea than steamer, be-
cause when the masts 'goSby the
board" In storm the ship is often
helpless. We have, therefore, 50,570
tons of ships thus abandoned against
only 5000 OF steamers, which latter
in itself is large number; they were
all of the largest size, too, averaging
!, 200 tons. 1t Is interesting to note,
further, that steamers collide more
frequently than ships, or the results
are more disastrous Thus we find
that while 45,O76 tons OF steamers
were lost by collision, only. 10, $40
tons OF ship losses are so accounted
FOR. The number Of vessels does not

Ono Of CRANE. Arabian Hor.e.

One was a magnificent jet black
stallion, but in riding him the minis
ter thought he discovered fault,
and he insisted that the dragoman
should take him back to the Sultan
and ask him to send a better horse,
The dragoman replied that he could
not do this; that the horses were a
gift, and he used the proverb about
mot looking gift horse In the
mouth" But the minister insisted,
and the dragoman went to the Sui
tan and asked for audience. He is,
by the way, man OF fine sensible
ties, and as an interpreter of tie le-
CATION he is the most important of
all men to Americans in Turkey.
Said he: Il felt very much ashamed
of myself and my mission, and l did
not know what / could do until at
last a thought struck me that the
horse was jet black one and that
black was the color of mourning In
America. When / entered the pal
ace the first thing that the secretary
asked me was as TO how the minister
and myself liked the horses, and l
replied that they wero the finest
horses that we had ever seen, and
that our President would feel very
proud and would be delighted with
the gift. / then went on to praise
the horses, and especially the black
one, which said was magnificent in
every respect, but-here / stopped
and the secretary anxiously asked:
But what? Is there anything the
matter with the horse?' No. said
/, but you know black is the color or
mourning in the United States. 1t

wondered IL such a gift might not be
considered ominous In sent. by the

at once. He spoke TO the Sultan,
and was thanked for my suggestion.

No BETTER news has been an
nounced since cholera appeared here
than that the President has directed
the Treasury Department to notify
all steamship companies that IL they
persist in bringing immigrants from
infected ports it may result in deny
ing enhance to United States harbors
to them. Some such extreme action
Is demanded by the conditions of the
case. The companies which make a
profit from the immigrant business
show no consideration toward this
people. We want no more immi-
grants Of the Kind that have been
dumped upon our shores in excessive
numbers during the past two years.
They have been coming quite toe
plenteously, and wherever they settle
they establish nest Of disease-breed-
ing filth. The country has borne the
affliction because the politicians OF
neither party had courage to prevent
it. The people did not apprehend the
peril. They are alive to it now, and
will sanction shutting the gates with
a slam against all immigrants from
the infected ports or countries. II
one permanent result OF the present
experience shall be stricter laws en-
forcing discrimination in respect of
immigrants seeking an asylum in this
country, that will be great gain.

Black walnut, formerly so extern

furniture, is said to be growing ex-
ccedingly scarce in Florida. 1t may
not be generally known, but is never.
theless true, that the black gum,
which grows so plentifully through.
out the Southern States, and es-
pecially in Florida, is an excellent
substitute for black walnut, and can
be stained so that an expert could
hardly detect the difference between
the two woods. If properly seasoned
and introduced into the furniture
manufactures OF the country, the
value of the black gum would become
known and new and profitable in
