E:NGLAND'S NAVY.
Talk of SuhsidiZing More Merchnn
Vessels to Act as Cruisers.

London, oct. lS.-Since the cZar com
p!imented the very fine escort which
the Channel squadron afforded him in
his crossing from Portsmouth to Cher
bourgh, increased interest has been
taken in the condition of the British
navy. Mr.. GoSchen, first lord OF the
admiralty, has been devotng much
thought during the recess to the whole
question of naval defense; and he is
credited with the intention. in next
years naval estimates. of considerably
increasing the sum at present provid-
ed for substituting merchant vessels
to act as armed cruisers in time Of
war.
The present amount set apart for
this PURPOSE is f4S7OO and rumOr has
il that it will be increased to at least
$50 GOO. in order to allow of nine more
vessels participating in the sum an
nually set aside. Among the new con-
ditions imposed will be not merely an
increase in the number of ships. but
greater efficiency in their manning and
equipment. 1t is reported that the
price to be paid for the new first-class
cruisers is fi46.OoO each. The highest
tender was Mcssrs. Armstrong;, their
price being about 100000, evidently
showing that they did not want the
work.

The Late French Emperor.

There never was q more amlable man
in private life than the Emperor Napo-
leon III OF one more absolutely unpre-
tending. His constant g~entleness, his
unvarying, patient kindness, were only
too much preyed upon by many of those
around him, but he was certainly deep
" loved by all who were in habitual
personal contact with him-more loved
than was the Empress Eugene, not
withstanding her personal charms. She
was extremely good natured, thorough
" natural, devoid of haughtiness Ga
great merit in such a position), but i'm
pulsive and hot tempered, too sincere,
too straightforward, to conceal her va
rying impressions, withal fanciful and
tenacious in her fancies, which often ir-
ritated those who had to yield to her
wishes despite difficulties and inconven-
fence. Gone of the empress whims, -
was often the comment of her attend
ants, down to the domestic servants of
the palace.
The emperor, always quiet, and even
apathetic, disturbed no one, but if an
appeal were made to his feelings he
could not resist. There was a sort of
tender hearted, sentimental softness in
his nature which recalled the ''sensibil-
ity" of bygone days probably inherited
from his mother, Queen Hortense. This
often led him astray and is the real ex-
PLANTATION Of many errors. He was far
from being deliberately false, as has
been so often asserted; but, unfortu-
nately, he was mor a man of feeling
than II man of principle. This led to
weakness and vacillation, though, like

shakespeare and the Color Sense.

I have selected S~hakespeare's "Son-
nets" as his most personal u%tterance
and "Venus and Adonis" as a charac-
teristic youthful poem, avoiding the
plays, in which the coloring might be
held to be largely of the scene painting
order. I believe this selection is fairly
comparable with Marlowe's work. The
"Sonnets" give very different results
from the longer poem. They are much
severer in color, black and yellow pre-
dominating, while in "Venus and
Adonis" there is a profusion of red and
white, with very little black or yellow.
1t is easy to gain a view of Shakespeare's
color generally by turning to a good
concordance such as Schmidt's "Shakes-
peare Lexicon" He appears, speaking
roughly, to use red epithets about so
times to so times that he uses green, if
we exclude numerous cases in which he
uses green without any reference to
color.
Shakespeare's use Of color is very ex-
travagant, symbolical, often CONTRA
dictory. He plays with color, lays it on
to an impossible thickness, uses it in
utterly unreal senses to describe spirit
ual facts. Colors seem to become color
less algebraic formulas in his hands. 1t
may safely be said that no great poet
ever used the colors of the world so dis
painfully, making them the playthings
of a mighty imagination, only valuing
them for the emphasis they may give to
the shapes of his own inner vision. In
his use of color Shakespeare bears wit
ness to his belief in Prospero's philos-
ophy and counts the external world as
but a gay, insubstantial fabric, a mere
Japanese house set up over d volcano,
and though he seems well pleased to
live there, he is sometimes tempted to
thrust his fist through the walls.-Con-

Pensions Fer English Ministers.

Has a minister anything to look for
ward to ON retiring from office? An ex-
lord chancellor of England receives
e5, 900 a year, but in consideration of
the pension continues to act as a law

gets as much as e3, 926 IS. Id, the
penny, like the more substantial re-
mainder Of the pension, being duly paid
quarterly in farthings. Four pensions
of 60, 900 each may be granted to as
many ex-ministers who for not less
than four years have been either one or
other of the five principal secretaries of
state OR first lord of the admiralty,
and four more pensions of Ell 200 each
may be granted to ex-ministers who
have filled for not less than six years
an office of less than 95, 900 but not
less than 92, 900 per annum.
An applicant for n of these pen
sions, which were created by the polit-
ical Office pensions act Of 1869, must
make a declaration that it is necessary
for his support. The benefits of the act
