A MODERN COAST DrFrNDEH.

The United States Government has
formally accepted the armored coast de-
fense battle ship Monterey, constructed
by the Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco. The horse power shown by the
engines of the new vessel was slightly
under the expected figures, and her
builders will forfeit about S32 900 to the
government as the result. 1t has been
shown conclusively by actual trials, how
eyer, that the Monterey is a strong, fine
vessel, and her speed is likely to be quite
sufficient for the purposes for which she
is designed. With the exception of the
armor on her twin turrets the Monterey
is complete. Her powerful main battery
of two l2-inch and two 10-inch rifles is in
position, and she win probably be placed
in commission within ten days. 1t will
be several months before her turret
armor is ready.
In her general form the Monterey re-
sembles the monitor MiantonomOh; but
while the Miantonomoh is an old craft
made ever, the Monterey is of the best
modern construction. When fully ar
mored she will be more than a match for
most battleshps. Even in her present
condition she would make no mean an
tagonist, for her low turrets, mounted
on a deck that is only three feet or so
above the level of the sea, are targets
which it would be extremely difficult to
hit, while the tremendous projeeties
hurled by her BIG guns would do terrible
execution at short range, even against
armorolads. The emergency in respect
to Hawaii has undoubtedly operated to
hasted her acceptance by the govern
ment The cunboat Petrel of 800 tons,
carrying four 5.inch rifles, which is en-
gagged in protecting the lives and proper
ty of American missionaries in China,
and the cruiser Boston of 3, ,lS0 tons,
with an armament of two S-inch and six
6-inch rifles, now at Honolulu, are the
only modern American men of-war in the
Pacific. The Monterey will constitute
timely and valuable reinforcement to the
Pacific naval forces.

AMERICAN GIRLS AND ENGLISH aus
BANDS

The death this week in Italy of Alger-
non Charles Fredrick Sartoris, who mar
ried Nellie Grant, recalls one of the
bitter domestic sorrows which clouded
the last years of Gen. Grant. The mar
riage of this couple took place while
Grant was president, the ceremony hav-
ing been celebrated in the East room Of
the White House in HAY 1874. The
Wedding was most brilliant affair and
Washington society was agog over the
event for many months, 1t was regarded
as happy marriage, says the Free Press,
and the future prospects were bright.
Soon after Mr.. and Mrs. SartOris had be-
gun life at his home in England, how
ever, rumors of their incompatibihty
came to this country and in few years
a separation took place. The daughter
of Americas hero had made an enviable
impression in England and the separation
is said to have resulted through no fault
of hers, but rather from her husbands
habits. Be this as it may, the elder
Sartori so respected his sons Americans
wife that in his will he left his fortune
to her and only an annuity to his son.
There was a provision, however, that

Character In Nisbnames.

When Austria was only a dukedom,
there were three rulers who won for
themselves the respective titles, Cath
olic," "Glorious" and "Warlike." The
frst was perhaps a religious man, like
Ferdinand the Catholic Of Spain. The
second may have been like Lorenzo the
Magnificent, and the third a great war
rior. And so from these titles or nick
names we have likewise some idea of the
conditions Of the people while these dukes
ruled.
France has had a most wonderful as
sortment Of kings. One was the Little and
another the Bold. One was the Stammer-
er, another Simple, while third and
fourth were Indolent and Fair. These
names are descriptive Of the kings them
selves, butt is hardly 10 be supposed that
king who was indolent or simple did
much to further the interests Of his sub
jects. But when we find Robert II called
the Sage we realize that he ruled wisely
and that the people were better off forit
