A CAPITAL PUBLICATION.


The leading publication of it's kind
in this country is the Scientific Ameri-
can, published by Mum & Co., 361
Broadway. New York. And whenever
they undertake any achievement out of
the ordinary such as special or sup
plement edition it may be put down as
something worthy to bear their
name. Recognizing the intense in
terest now centred in the ships of
the United States navy and the great
demand for accurate information con-
corning our war vessels. with COM
mendable enterprise and flattering
success Messrs. Mum & Co. have
published special issue entitled the
Scientific american Special Macy Sup
plement, copy of which we have re-
ceived.
First an historical account of the
new Navy is given, then the distinc-
ton between protected cruisers,
armored cruisers, battleships and
monitors is clearly shown by compre-
hensive diagrams. The construction
and classification of modern warships
are then considered and this is fol-
lowed by the description of individ-
ual vessels including battleships,
cruisers, coast defense vessels, sub
marine boats, rams, ETC., with spe-
cial reference to the engines. boilers,
armor, machinery, guns and fighting
efficiency.
To say it is just what the public
wants at this time is enough. Every
effort seems to have been made to
treat the subject in manner to be
easily understood by those unlearned
in naval affairs, both as to subject
matter and illustrations. There are
about ninety illustrations showing
the vessels grouped in classes, such
as battleships, cruisers, gunboats.
monitors, torpedo boats and special
classes. Numerous pictures also IL
lustrate, in great detail, guns, gun
turrets, torpedoes. external and in
ternal views of other parts of our
warships, dry docks, &c. The whole
forms a magnificent work of perma-
nent and ready reference, not the
least interesting feature of which is
reliable colored map of Cuba and
the West Indies.
Most of the illustrations are entire
ly unique and we do not know any
publication which presents the same
matter as well as in the Navy Sup
plement. 1t is entirely up-to-date,
including even the recently purchased
protected cruiser NeoU Orleans, and is
accompanied by table of the United
States Navy giving even the vessels
OF the auxiliary navy. 1t is bound in
handsome colored cover showing
the battleship Oregon and the great
13-inch guns of the battleship Indiana.
This number is sold at the very mod
crate price of 25 cents and may be
ordered through any bookseller or
news dealer, or sent directly by the
publishers, Messrs. Mum & Co., New
York City.

Funeral of Mrs. James p. Watson.

The remains of Mrs. James ?. Watson
(nee Verser,) whose death occurred in
New York Thursday afternoon at 5
O'Clock, arrived at the Union depot last
evening, where they were met by many
sorrowing friends, and borne to the resi-
dence of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James
w. Verser, No.-9O7 east Clay street.
Just a little over a year ago she left
this city happy bride, followed by the
good wishes of many who knew and
loved her. No young woman had bri ghter
prospects OF a long and happy life. She
was loving daughter, sister, and friend,
and proved herself a true and devoted
wife. She was educated in the public
schools of this city, and all through her
school days proved herself a most pro-
ficient scholar, graduating from the High
School with the highest honors, and was
the recipient OF the Peabody medal at
the time of her graduation.
She was CONSTANT member OF the
Second Presbyteria church Or. Hoge's,
from which her funeral will take place
this afternoon at 5 O'Clock.
The following young men, friends OF
herself and husband, will act as pail
bearers: W. L. Walker, Hunt Blunt, J..
N. Dart, A. T. Ragland, William Morris,
Fred. c. Tower, C. j. Burton, aud j. H.
Barnes.
The above, which we take from the
Richmond Dispatch of last Saturday,
will be read with sadness by the
| friends of Mr.. Watson. 1t is but a
little more than one year ago, since
he was here with his young wife as a
bride, on their way to visit his par
ents Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Watson in
Warren county. Those who met
| Mrs. Watson then were charmed with
her pleasing personality and lovely
| character and her death will cause
profound sorrow to every one who
| knew her.
Mr.. Watson has many friends in
Henderson where he formerly lived
who sympathize with him in the
hour of his deep grief.
