Uncle Sans unique Ram.

A welIknown French writer on naval
affairs says that the "Ammen RAM"
the Katahdin, is q vessel that is sure
to command more than usual interest
among those who have to take thought
for the fighting ships of the future,
because she is protected from gun-fre
in a manner which is almost perfect.
This vessel, which is now lying at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, has been
visited by many foreign naval ex-
perts as well as by non-combatants,
who go to see her out of mere curios-
ity. The upper part of her hull, the
deck. is convex in form, and when
sch is at sea, with her green color, she
will remind one of an immense whale
with a smokepipe protruding from it's
hack. The French writer alluded to
saws that ship of form and construc-
tion analogous to the Katahdin would
nossess. at an equal speed, many and
great advantages over the armored
battle-ship of to-day, hampered with
it's enormous superstructures; she
could not only infiict the most serious
injuries upon her enemy with her
great ram bow, but she could get suf-
ficently near to a hostile vessel to
launch her torpedoes without danger
from the enemys artillery. In trials
she has shown that when under way
her hull is so protected by the waves
as to be practically invulnerable; shell
might ricochet on her deck. but, ex-
pooling above that, they would probab-
" do little If any damage.-NeW York
Tribune.

Un1ve1corne visitors.

UnweIcome Visitors.
The brothers had returned home and
both had been unsuccessful in their
search.
Sydney was not to have the appoint
ment for which he had last applied,
and Tony had again been unable to OBJ
tain any information concerning the
seal from which, at first, he had hoped
SO much.
Both entered their grandmother's
presence with the most cheerful looks
it was now possible to them to as
sumo.
But while Sydney's was very sorry
attempt at cheerfulness, Tony's face
wore a pleased expression which might
readily have deceived more scrutiniz-
ing eyes than were his grandmother
as to the true feeling at his heart.
And besides, Mrs. Willoughby had
had an accident with her spectacles,
which was the cause that Tony now
produced and presented to her a new
pair which he had bought for her.
Mrs. Willoughby said that Tony was
a dear, considerate boy, and so, indeed,
he was
"Will they do gra' mother?" inquired
Tony as he fixed the glasses to the old
lady'S nose.
Beautiful, beautiful was the re-
spouse. II see as well as when / was
a young girl of sixteenth fact, bet
terri she added, seriously; "for with
these I can see to read the very soul Of
my dear, good boys, who were always
SO generous to their old grandmother

present"

ing to herself that, with all the money
he could bring, it would be quite posi-
bic that Sir Loghlen O'Meara's niece
might be far more worthy to become
the wife of her handsome and gentle
manipulating grandson. And when
Mrs. Willoughby had released Sydney,
"Now," said her youngest grandson,
sit is my turn and Rugged the old
lady so violently that she was glad to
escape from his clutches.
And, while smoothing her cap, whose
border Tony had sadly rufffed, she
laughingly told him that he was more
like a young bear than a respectable
human being.
And Tony laughed, too, and said he
did not know what should make him
so rough, for he had been brought up
very tenderly.
And now, observing Sydney, always
those sad looks, dear boy! Why are
you always so very wretched, and,
seemingly, so hopeless?" said Mrs.
Willoughby.
To-day, at least, grandmother" Sgd
ney replied, Il have good reason to be
miserable. The situation which l had
hoped 70 obtain"
Bother the situationw broke in Mrs.
willoughby.
And her grandsons looked wonder
ingly at her, as, removing her new
spectacles from her nose, and placing
them carefully in their case, she said,
rather haughtily, 'Who wants any of
their old situations? People will have
to come and ask you for situations, l
expect"
''NNhat do you mean?-whatever are
you talking about, grandmother,
dear?" demanded Tony, staring
with all his eyes, and wondering if his
Grandmother was joking, ana if he
was expected to laugh, as he always
did, when he could see that ne old
lady was under an impression that
she had said something very funny.
