Mr.. DAYToN's appearance on the stage

NAVAL WARFARE
Tho Lesson OF the Los. or tho Victoria.

Tho Lesson OF the Loss OF tho VICTORIA
To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Si-: The PER-

small Importance. Whether the great armored
ship went down In consequence Of the bad
tactical management OF Admiral Tryon. or
whatever was the cause OF tho direful catas-
trophe. the fact that it was SO easily and SO
quickly sent to the bottom OF the sea. in spite
of its boasted impregnability. remains for the
instruction Of civilization.
The era OF armored ships OF war began with
tho construction of La Gloire by Louis Napo-
leon. Then followed the building ofthe Warrior
by England: but from that time to this. these
protected ships have rendered no valuable ser
vice in war. except that performed by the Mon
flor In its famous battle with the Merrimac in
Hampton Roads. In that contest the Monitor
fulfilled the design OF its inventor. which was
solely to build o ship for harbor defence. He
believed that the day Of great sea battles was
over. and that only floating forts for harpor
protection were now necessary.
Afterward came the war between France
and Germany. for which Louis Napoleon had
prepared BY building an armored navy whose
presumed power provoked tho jealousy and
the fear OF his neig hbors: but the French from
clads proved useless 10 that contest, axoept to
furnish guns for the defencs OF Paris when It
was surrounded by tho Germans Otherwise
they were OF no assistance to Franco. The war
was concluded without any great naval battle.
Meantime England was keeping up ut Shoe
buryness q series Of tests Of the power Of guns
against armor. with the consequence that
guns were made moro powerful and the thick
moss Of the resisting armor increased. The
navy Of England was reconstructed at an enor-
mons cost. and in the course of q few years

Here, AS in CITIES, the system "de ,

The subject is exciting attention
among the farmers and it can not
be ignored. Aside from all ques-
tion as to revenues is the reat ques-
ton Of the effect on the habits of
the people. The value CT the post
office as an educational influence is
undeniable, but this Influence is
least where it is most needed. Cheap
postage is not cheap to the farmers,

In opposition to the extension of

But the persons WHO would re-

ing rp" a sentiment in its behalf,
which members of Congress and
others should resist.
One-cent postage would indefi-
nitely postpone free delivery for the

derson. of the House Postage Com
mittee, speaking of petit ms asking
that letter postage be reduced to one

This fac. alone precludes the propo-
sition from consideration at this

will elapse before there is any re-
duotion in the present rate of letter
postage.
No, there is no popular demard d
for one-cent postage, but there is
growing and an intelligent demand
for free delivery of mail to rural as

HIDDEN GEMS.

Within the soul lie gems of thought,
Uncut, unpublished and unwrought;
From off the fluent tongue have rolled
False brill;ants set in virgin gold.
Were't rot for deft mechanic skill,
The 'Regent" were pebble sill,
With facets cut, dull Rhine stone.
Has with crown Jewels We'd and shone.
So thought, till set in golden speech.
Shall neither grace nor dutv teach.
But dwell diamond in the earth,
That must be found ere tits of worth.
What tho there be, fast hid in mines,
A store of gems as rare as lines
The purple cap of India's Queen,
II all their glory be unseen?
A bit of glass upon the ground.
That lights its little world AROUND
With soft prismatic heavenly rays,
Doth magnify the day gods praise.
The ruddiest ruby hearth earth's crest,
The grandest thought, yet uuexprest,
In speech or works, by brush or pen,
Shall glorify nor gods nor men.

But the world had taught us its cold,
stern rules,

So he chose for himself another bride
To reign in his home, to walk at his

Of gold she brought him goodly store,
Of gold and silver, but ah, what more?

A SorrowfuI S ntence.

Among all the political excttes
rnent in France growing out OF the
Panama exposures, thu criminal
prosecution of the promoters of
the fraud has gone quickly on and
the results are announced to-day.
The Count De Lessepa, who but a
few yeArs back was honort d as one
of the fvr.m most Frenchmen of the
day, and whose name it was that
gave weight to the Panama scheme
is sentenced to five years imprison-
ment as a common ewindler. A
like sentence was imposed upon the
younger D. Lessep', his chief
Lieutenant, while M. E'fcl, the
famous engineer who built for him :
self the am bilious monument by the
side of the Seine and who was the
ostensible director OF the works at
Panama, is seLteuced to a shorter
term of Imprisonment bnt to a
heavier fine.
TIE Justice of these sentences
must be assumed. but in the case a
old De- Lesseps, at least, it brings
most pathetic end to a really
brilliant career. De Less, ps was
one of those men OF daring who
play for large stakes. He had
been successful before and by bis
enterprise had brought wealth and
glory to France. He believed in
himself and there is no reason to
doubt that he at first bel eyed in
the Panama canal. Whether be

POSTAL REFORM.
The Government Has a cnch on
the Service But tie People Have
Rirhts that Even the Government
Should Regard.

This question is always more or
less sgitated. The Government has
undertaken to carry all the mail for
the people. And in order the better
to do this work, it has created an
absolute monopoly, By law, all
competitors are driven from every
part of the field, and all intruders
are severely punished,
It is now too late to discuss the
wisdom or the unwisdom Of this
policy, for it is fixed forever, and
the reform required is that the work
shall be done perfec>ly and COM
pletely, with absolute fairness to all
sections and to all classes, ard that
it be done for the least possible cost.
In considering the magnitude of
the postoffice business, and its won-
derful development in recent years,
We generally overlook the fact that
the opportunities for the extension
of the service have been furnished
by other agencies entirely. About
all the postoffice does is to use the
railway lines and to extend its ia
cilities just as means Of transporta.
ton are furnished. 1t is true the
Government does occasionally go
into regions yet unreached by the
railroads and steamboats,, but, on
the other hand, it neglects to use
the facilities used by these agencies.
Each railroad station and each
steamboat landing should not be the
end, but the beginning of postal
system. From these points SER
vice should radiate, which would
carry to the house of every citizen,
living in town or country, his mail
at regular and short intervals.

Better and better at each years end.
