For the Marietta journal.
A KINGDOM AND A CROWN.

DEDICATED TO LITTLE KENTUCKY FRIEND
Bright little girl with fair, sweet face,
And eyes OF tender br own,
I'd place kingdom at your feet,
And on your head a crown.
A kingdom vast whose subjects need
Your labor and your love;
Your crown to shine from duties done.
And the Fathers smile above.
Greater far this kingdom is
Than Cupid's sway can own
Sweeter far such duties are,
Than those of earth alone.
For they who now this kingdom lead,
And all who in it live,
Garner in their hearts peace
That human love can't give.
AS unto Christ these deeds are done
This kingdom is divine;
And who gives and who receives His name,
Thro' Eternity will shine.
Then let your every word and Decd
Your every look and smile,
Be given to win some heart to you,
That yon may the while,
Point that heart to Christ your King.
Who did your soul redeem
Who spoke peace to your hardened heart,
With Heavens Frightening beam.
This peaceful kingdom, perfect, grand
This crown of many stars,
Will live and SHINE at God, righ: hand,
Beyond the Golden Bars
Human hopes and human love,
The years shall bury low,
While the things of God shall reign above,
With Frightening, heavenly glow
WILLIE D. UPsHAw.

SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT.
Designs and Proposals Invited by the Nav


Designs and Proposals Invited by the Navy
Department..
On Wednesday. May 3. the Navy Department
issued TO Naval Architects Engineers, snd
others n notice concerning the designs and
construction of submarine torpedo boat for
the Navy. The Department Invites reputable
manufacturers of vessels and ordnance. or Off
GERS of the Navy hSviDg experience in such
work. to submit on or before june 20 designs
for submarine boat which will conform to the
demands of a circular issued by the Depart
ment some time ago. Proposals for construct
ing such q boat as the Department requires
must accompany the designs.
The boat is TO be built within the United
States and must be made OF domestic material.
Each design submitted must be accompanied
by statement of the price to be charged IN
case the Department should decide to purchase
the same. If any patented invention is to be
used in carrying out the boats design the price
at which the device and the right to manu-
facture it will be sold to the Government is to
be furnished.
Under the Departments requirements no
boats which cannot in case of emergency be
wholly submerged will be- acceptable, and a
displacement exceeding $50 tons will not be
favored. The boat should be capable of carry
ing five automobile tOrpedoes and be fitted to
fire two at a time. either when on the surface
or when submerged. II is the desire Of the
Department in this matter that great number
of proposals may be received. Inventors will
not, therefore, be limited to tho submission of
single design, but each is invited to present as
many as he may see fit.
Referring to the Departments requirements
in the case, Commodore Sampson, Chief of the
Bureau of Ordinances, said that suggestions as to
special features of submarine boats were not
sufficient; but that only complete designs
showing thoroughly practicable vessel which
would meet the varying conditions of naval
service would be considered. The Commodore
expressed considerable pleasure at the fact that
the Department had already received no less
than 20 letters from domestic inventors making
inquiries as to the special requirements of the
proposed boat. These letters came from all parts
of the country, aud show q keen interest in this
new departure in naval construction.

NEW APPOINTFES

President Cleveland last week made thu fol.
lowing appointments:
Cornelius G. Watts Of West Virginia, to bs
attorney for the United States for thu Distrios
OF West Virginia.
Samuel S. YiusOn, Of West Virginia, to Be
Marshal Of the United States for the District q
West Virginia.
William w. Carr, to be Postmaster at PhIlaz
delphia vice John Field. resigned.
William Wilkins Carr is a son Of the late
Capt. Carr, Q. 5. ~, and was born In Phila-
delphia in 1853 He studied law ia the ofics
OF George NJ. Dallas snd was admitted 10 the
bar IN 1876. He has gained considerable repu-
tation as a criminal lawyer, and has devoted
much time to literary studies. He became an
Assistant United States District Attorney IN
der John r. Read in 1883. He was associate
counsel in the celebrated hat-trimmings case.
and assisted IN the preparation Of cases against
the Office Of the Spring Garden and KeystOns
National banks Of Philadelphia. He has al
ways been an earnest Democrat, having been
for several years past an active member Of the
Young Mems Democratic Association. He took
a pronounced part in the proceedings of the
Democratic National Convention last June in
Chicago.
Gen. Watts held the same position to which
he has been appointed under Mr.. Cleveland's
former Administration, and enjoyed the dis
tinetion of being the first Democrat whose
resignation was asked for by President Har-
rison. He also gained 8 little notoriety by
refusing to resign until his term Of Office should
expire, and was finally removed By Gen. Har-
rison. Gen. Watts always claimed that he was
removed because he had been indusir ionsly
prosecuting Republicans for alleged violations
of the Federal election laws, and be eonss-
quently posed as martyr to duty. He looks
upon his reappointmont as a kind of vindiea-
ton. When the result Of last Falls election
was learned, Gen. Watts sent telegram 70
President Harrison, rendering him the sympa-
thy of the first man he had removed from office

DISTINCTIVE PAPER.

Under the advertisement inviting proposals
for supplying the Treasury Department with
distinctive paper for printing Treasury notes
and bonds, only one bid was received, that of
Crane & Co., the present contractors. The
prices which are the same as the present con-
tract are as follows: For distinctive paper for
United States notes aud other securities, 43t
cents per pound; for distinctive paper for
United States checks and drafts, 3Sl cents per
pound. This bid, if accepted. which it uu-
doubtedly will be. takes effect tho 1st of
July, and will continue in force for one year
The aggregate for the paper used annually for
these purposes il about 10000 pounds, or 49,
coo 900 sheets, for the purchase of which Con
gress appropriated $4,000. Last year Crane &
Co. were the only bidders. as they are this year.
This is explained by the fact that TO make this
distinctive paper requires very expensive ma
cbinery, which paper manufacturers. because
of the small contract, do not feel justified in
putting In place.

There was quite a funny scene on the big
lawn in front of the White House on Thursday
morning, May 4. A rabbit had found its way
into the grounds and was making itself happy
in the long grass. This good time was not Of
long duration. however, for the man with 3

This operation greatly disturbed "Brer Rsb-

with considerable alarm. The machine finally
came too close to be pleasant. and apparently
nerving itself for supreme effort, the rabbit
made break for safer place. As a matter Of
course, the man with the mower dropped his
machine and gave chase There were quite a
number of Office seekers approaching the man.
