it enables the force to hold out against
superior fire. In this connection it may
be aid that IL brrricade would be very
useful in the defense of a deck, and in
eases where time for preparation is
afforded such an obstruction could bo
made by running in guns and by the use
OF ladders, hammocks, etc.
The MEETINGS, which are sometimes
supplied to small vessels, or these hav-
ing low %freeboard, are made of wire or
of some small stuff, tarred and sanded.
The lower edge is secured along tho
rail, and the upper is triccd up by whips.
Very often in close contest on a ships
deck the sword becomes a more effective
weapon than the musket and bayonet.
In such eases the cutlasses of tho
boarders are brought into play and the
luyonets unfiNcd and used as swords,
an enemy off should he desire to board,
or even IL dummy may sometimes dis
concert his plan OF action.
An interesting feature of IL naval
battle is the quartermastcr standing by
with tho signal book, answering or
sending orders to tho other vessels of
the squadron. This volume, if it should
ever fall into the hands of the enemy,
would possibly enable him to anticipate
inc offensive movements of our vessels
and thus give time to prepare his method
OF defense. For this reason all signal
books are bound in heavy leadcn covers,
and when all hope of victory is lost the
first duty of the navigator is to see that
this important factor of warfare is
thrown overheard.
The above are the general directions
which are supposed To he observed in
action, but with the constant change that
ships are undergoing a great deal de-
ponds upon the commanding officers
originality i'm preparing methods OF Of
Tense and defense.
When two war ships meet on the high
seas there is little time lost in prelimin-
aries. AS soon as The character of zach
is ascertained, however, and they arc
sufficiently neal to feel the effect of
their iapid-fire guns thu battle is opened.
AS a rule the heavy rifles are seldom
used until it is certain that they will be
effective. This %precaution is as much u
matter OF economy as it is Il desire to
infiict the most serious damage upon the
enemy, for the charge of one of these
guns costs about $500.
Unless both vessels should be armorcd
over their v%itals, it is questionable if
either would live more than Il few hours
after being pierced by IL projectile from
a modern hish-powcr gun. The only
possibility OF IL hand to hand fight
would be between two armored ships of
the line endeavoring to use their rams.

tioK to approach the enemy within 100
yards. This is the danger limit OF tho
deadly torpedo. As Il last resort ram
ming is often attempted, but the superior
m~aneuvering qualities of modern vessels
renders this u very hazardous UNDER
taking.
! will give briefly in this sketch, writes
w. Nephew King in the New York Press,
the preparations for battle that each
commander of IL United States vessel is
instructed to make according to the Ord
nance Department of the navy. OF
course the many types of ships now in
existence will give more or less latitude
for a display OF discretion, but there arc
certain general rules which must be OBJ
served i'll all war ships.

The electric gong has entirely super

Underlying all orders for battle is the
effort to secure the vessel against in
Jury or embarrassment from the enemy
@Qr from the working of her own arma-
)lent. To remove, as far as practicable
and safe, all obstl uctions to the most
effective use of her means of offense
and defense, and to clear away such
fixtures and appliances not needed for
action as might otherwise cause the
enemy's shot to create wreck or con-
fusion, and, lastly, the removal of such
objects as might be injured by exposure.
AS soon as the gong is heard the men
hastily get up all hammocks and stow
them out Of the way, steam is til n gem
Grated in every working boiler, and all
unnecessary gear is sent below docks.

A NEW aERRYMANDER.

1t seems to be settled now in Colum-
bus that the outrageous gerrymandeI
that passed the Senate, to make 16 Re-
publican districts in Ohio, will not get
through the House. Not that 1t is too
much of a steal, but because some of
the aspiring statesmen in the House,
who are anxious to break into Congress,
do not like the shape of some of the
districts politically. A new scheme has
been devised, which makes three dis
tricts as follows:
ixteenth-Holmes, Coshocton, Mus
kingum, Perry, Fairfield, ID. 4,O7S, r
l64, 1863.
Observation-Disclosures, Jefferson,
Carroll, Tuscarawas, r. 1851, Z. 1872

d. 300, 2. 1924.
Nineteenth--Lake, Ashtabula. Trum
bull, Mahoning, Portage, II. 9,l43, T.
1851
1t will be seen by theiaboye that
Judge King of Mahoning, is put in a
district with Ashtabula, where he must
fight for the nomination against Lamp
son, with a Republican majority of
1857. Our district is said to please t.
II. Morgan, Sr., of Alliance, who is anx-
ious to keep out Mahoning county.
With a nominal Democratic majority
of only 300, Mr.. Morgan thinks a few
thousand extra dollars will enable the
boss of the Hammer Works to get there.
1t would certainly make very tightly
