LIFE DEIROIIa NAVAL MILITIA.
 There are some things funny even about going to war. Some of the swell naval militia have found this out, though the real humor of it is not as plain to them as to the outside looker- on. The Detroit naval militia is just now playing serio-comic part, to the great amusement of some of their less
 patriotic friends, and to their own great embarrassment This naval or command of Lieutenant Commander ganization is very swell affair in De-
 troit. The humblest tar under the
 Wilkes counts his wealth by the hun
 dred thousands. The whole organiza-
 tion is composed of rich young men
 who live on the one particularly fash
 ionable street in Detroit. and is as ex-
 elusive as any swell club in the coun-
 try. Being the naval militia meant to
 them giving official character to a very
 delightful and well-regulated yachtine.
 party. It was with great promptness
 and pride that they volunteered their
 services to their country at the first
 sound of war. They had visions of
 having a vessel all to themselves and
 sailing under their own commander,
 who would recognize the social equali-
 ty existing between the officers and the
 men. It was a cruel shock to them
 when they discovered that after enlist
 ir,cr ho
 nothing more, subject to the orders or
 the department liable to be separated
 from the good society of each other
 and to be associated with sailor men
 who have never had any social status
 above the focastle, and be expected to
 scrub deck and do other distasteful
 and unbecoming work that sailor men
 have to do. With this terrible pros-
 pect before them they got up round
 robin and sent two representatives to Washington to consult with the Secre- tary of the Navy about the matter.
 These representatives were Lieuten-
 ant Commander Wilkes and Chief Boatswain's Mate Joy. They saw As sistant Secretary Roosevelt, and for the first time in the history of the navy SO ulSh cill olIlSlcl Welo SdllEl upon to discuss with a chief boat swain's mate question of naval regu-
 lations and the propriety of said chief boatswain's mate and his associate sailors being ordered to this sort of duty or that. The interview with MT. Roosevelt only served to make plainer to them than it had been before that if they enlisted in the navy they would have to be treated as other enlisted men, and go to such duty as they might be ordered to without having the choice of maintaining their own exclusive circle, where the distinction of official rank could not obscure their social claims. They are now confront ed with the prospect of being com peIled to serve wherever ordered, as common sailors, or else to retrace their steps and reconsider their determina- tion to win distinction. Strong politi- cal influence has been brought to bear on the department, but no way has yet been discovered by which they can en- list as sailors and preserve their social status and immunity from the unbe- coing duties of fo'castle life on a man. of-war

In . volume entitled The Empire and the
Papdcy tMacmillans), Mr.. T.. +. Tour has un-
dertaken to give q concise sketch of an ex-
tremely important period In the history of
Europe for which there existed no compendious
text book. We refer to the period which began
with tho revival Of the Roman Empire
In the West by Otto l. "a. d. 962l and ended
with the great intOrregnum "a. d. 1878.
1t was not possible, in the space at his command.
for the author to treat all the aspects of Eu-
ropean history during three eventful centuries
with tho Same fulness. and, consequently. he
has mainly confined himself to the central strug-
go between the Papacy and the empire. and to
matters directly connected with it. Upon the
affairs Of Scandinavia, tho Baltic lands,
and the Slavonic Kingdoms of eastern Eu-
rope. he touches only when they stand in
direct relation to the main currents of European
history. Even to Christian Spain only a small
number of pages is allotted. On the other hand.
Q good deal of attention is paid to the general
movements Of thought and to the development
OF the ecclesiastical system and Of the religious
orders. Among the most interesting chapters
arc those which deal with the twelfth century
Renaissance, with the state of things in south
ern Italy and Sicily under Frederick II. and
with the evolution of the universities. 1t is to
some of tho facts brought out in these chapters
and especially in the first of them that we shall
under which tho Roman empire was reestab-
lished to a certain extent In the West under a
Saxon head.

I'll.

Another great intellectual incident of the
twelfth century was the revival OF the scientific
study Of law. which grew up alongside the new
birth Of dialcctic and philosophy, had almost
as powerful an influence as these studies in
stimulating intellectual interest, and had
practical results of an even moro direct and
palpable kind. The study of Roman law had,
indeed. never been quito forgotten. especially In
Italy. The revival. however. OF the Roman
empire by the Ottos, the development of
the power of the secular State all over
Europe, and the growth of ordered municipal
government in southern Europe. and, particu.
larly, In the italian peninsula, all contributed
to make this study more necessary and more
universal. Side by side with tho development
OF the OWL power the even greater growth of
the ecclesiastical authority set up a law of the
Church In rivalry with the law OF the State.
The legal revival was thus two-slded. There
was q fresh interest both in tho civil law which
Rome had handed down and in the canon law
which had grown up slowly In the ecclesiastical
courts. The earlier middle ages had felt an al.
most superstitious reverence for the written
law of Rome. Its decisions were still looked
upon as theoretically binding, even when prac-
tically 1t had been superseded by a mass
OF nuctuating fcudal customs. In Italy tho
elementary toxts of tho Roman law had
always been studied and its principles always
upheld IN tho courts In the eleventh century
the battle between the Papacy and the empire
became. before long, a conflict of political prin.
ciples and theories, Both sides sought weapons
in the legal treasures OF ancient Rome. Accord
ingly. the eleventh century saw hourishinK
schools OF law at Psvia. at RaVsnna, and per.
hAps at Rome. Early In the twelfth century
the fame of ~IrneriuS. q jurist in the service of
the Countess Matilda, led to the establishment
Of . still greater school Of law 81 Bologna,

materials inserted in this valuable text book to
which we shall invite attention. We learn with
patisfaction that the author intends to supple
ment the present work with another especially
devoted to the story Of our priVateerS.

guns; the Atlanta Q guns; the Georgia o guns;
the Albemarle 4 guns; the fredericksburg O
guns; the Richmond 9 guns; the Virginia 8
guns-in all 10 ironolads, mounting 143 guns.
In almost every instance, however. those vessels
were wretchedlyp put together. and there was so
much delay IN their construction that but few
got into active service.
1t probably will not be disputed that the
record Of our naval operations would have
boon very different II the Confoderates could
have supplemented the strength of their
land batteries and forts with q feet of
ironcladS no less efficient than those of the
North. AS 1t was, they made q sturdy fight
with their frail passenger boats, and, In one
case, captured one OF our most formidable iron
cladS. while the unfinished Arkansas safely
ran the gauntlet Of the entire national fleet.
We have seen how the upper Mississippi
was opened by our ironclads and wooden
gunboats. II the Confederates had pos
Sessod equally good or better vessels. and
tho Arkansas typo proved to DO superior to
our ironcladS, they not only could have Sc
cured their Southern section Of the river system.
but could have carried their operations north
ward. 1t is impossible to conceive of Farragut
passing Port jackson and Port st. Philip IL tho
ironclnds Louisiana, New Orleans, Memphis and
Mississippi had been properly built and ready
to BIO let lOoso among tho national wooden ships
on that night. We know what the Merrimao
did hvo weeks before at Hampton Roads, yet the
Mississippi alone was equal to three Merrimacs,
and was regarded as the most dangerous vessel
In the world. We all know how much time and
blood 1t took for our land forces, even with tho
aid Of the navy. to capture Vicksburg. Suppose
that the Confederate instead Of the Union IRON
cladS had controlled tho Mississippi. as un-
doubtedly would have been the case had their
armored vessels been properly and promptly
constructed, how many vicksburgs would have
had to DO taken before our land forces could
have opened the rivorI And even after all the
V~ioksburgs had been captured. what would
there have been to prevent the Confederate
ironclads from passing and repaSsing batteries
with impunity, Just as our wooden ships did .
Why. then. should We hesitate to acknowledge
that, had 1t not been for the sea power of tho
North. the war might have been prolonged in
definitely, and that, had the South possessed
equal facilities for creating a new mt
sea power, the secession could not have been
suppressed

the author gives q summary account of the de-
Struction of the battleship Maine and of tho
