Never Defeated

From Tit-Bits.
 There have been several invincnble race horses which never knew defeat the most notable of which. perhaps, was Eclipse. who never knew whip or spur. During it's racing career 1t won e10,Ooo. and lived for twenty-six years to see it's descendants-in number 34Ecarry off in stakes alone no less than e1600OO Eclipse was foaled dur ing the great eclipse of 1764, and thence got his name. Another horse. Victorious, was never beaten. The horses West Aus tralian. Bay Middleton, Flying Dutchman and Ormonde were never beaten. Ormonde was one of those hero horses which have immortalized themselves by carrying om what is known as the triple crown-the two thousand Derby, and St. Leger; Isn- glass, West Australia, Lord Lyon, Gada- teur and Common also accomplished the feat. Kinscem, a daughter of Combuscan. though only a handicap and cup horse, won fifty races in succession, and was never once beaten.

AN OPINION WORTH HAVING.
John Bulls Estimate of the United States
 Navy. D.. 4.


 From the London Graphic.
 The position of the United States navy as against Spain is one of great strength. The three Yankee battleships on the Att lantic coast Indiana, Massachusetts aana' Iowa. will be a trio very hard to beat and the Oregon is coming around as fast as she can from the Pacific side. SpainThas only the Pelayo to meet these ships. srhe Texas and the five powerful monitorss are a strong reserve for coast defense while the fine armored cruisers Brooklyn and New York, with the help of the twelve protected cruisers available, in Atlantic water, should be able to hold their own against the five Spanish armored or Spro- tected cruisers of modern design. Injtor- pedo craft Spain, thanks to her six new de1 stroyers, is much superior, though the Americans have eight good torpedo boats ready for sea.
 At the present juncture the want of a trained naval reserve and an adequate personnel is causing the United States navy department grave troubles. The men in the United States navy, excluding the Fish commission and the coast survey, are 8,6S5 in number, and of these only 55 per cent. are American born. The American citizens, however, number "A per cent. English sea- men who have served their time in our navy are largely represented among tn aliens or naturalized Americans. It was so in the war of 1872, when hundreds of British tars were to be found in tNe American fri gates, which beat us with such painful uniformity.

THE DEATH OF DIR. W. H. JOhnsto

The death of Dr. William H. Johnston re- moves from active life, and from career of great usefulness, one of the strongest men of the state and one of the noblest psysicians of the south. Quiet and un- obtrusve, stunning all forms of notoriety, he gently won his way close to the heart of the community by his remarkable skill as a practitioner. and by his tenderness in the sick room.
 Dr. Johnston's practice was so large as to preclude the necessary rest and recrea- tion and his untimely death is due chiefly to his self-sacriicing zeal in behalf of suffering humanity He was desperately wounded at the battle of Seven Pines and has borne the mask of his bravery, through the intervening years.
 People of all ages and in all the walks of life will deplore Dr. Johnston's death, not only because he was one of the great physicians of the country, but also be- cause he was man whose daily living at tested his beautiful christianity.
 The homes of the rich and the poor will alike miss his tender ministrations. He was faithful to the end.
