ing argument to show that monitors
are more practical than battleships.
As to some OF the defects Of battle
ship Capt. Stuyvessnt says:
Fashions in battleehips change
too fast. They cost between "a. O0O,-
600 and 100000. Five million
dollars is too much money, and 400
or 500 are too many good men to
hazard In one ship in storm and bat
tie. They get behind the times too
soon. considering the price. Battle
ships are built on new plans every
year, and are frequently altered while
in process OF construction. Some Of
their repair and construction bills
are very large. England or Chilli
builds an improvement upon our last,
and we forthwith must have some
thing faster. larger and every way
better. The result OF that sort Of
competition may easily he that in q
few years We will have an expensive
lot Of old iron on hand. The Maine
was pronounced behind the times,
although only four years old. II is
at least . fair presumption, from
what has been said, that We do not
absolutely require the battleships
for foreign service. Are they
adapted for service on our Atlantic
coast? They draw from 2l3 to p
feet Of water, and. therefore, cannot
enter any port south Of Hampton
Roads. A squadron of such ships
operating along our south Atlantic
coast must rendezvous at Ha npton
Roads for coal. repairs and refuge.
There Is NO hsrbor for them south
OF that. Our coast waters are shoal.

ship habit originated, are deep. The

The Cake Walk Is French,

The cake walk properly had it's origin
among the French negroes of Louisiana
more than century ago. There is little
doubt that it is an offshoot of some of
the old French country dances. 1t rep
resents several of them in form. From
New Orleans it spread over the entire
south and thence north. 1t was found
of convenience to the plantation me-
groes. They were not welded by license,
and it was seldom that the services of a
preacher were called in.
At cake walk a man might legiti-
mately show his preference for WON.
an and thus publicly claim her for a
wife. In effect the cake walk was not
different from the old Scotch marriage,
which required only public acknowledge
ment from the contracting parties. So
this festival became in some sense a
wooing, an acceptance or rejection and
a ceremony. This explains its popular
ity with the blacks outside of its beau
ties, with the accompaniment of music,
which is competent at all times to com.
mand negro support.
Cake walking has improved, as do
most things that are constantly practic.
ed. 1t has lost its old significance in the
south. Negroes now get married, when
they marry at all, in the white folks
fashion. 1t has, moreover, become q
pantomime dance. Properly performed,
it is beautiful one. The cake is not
much of prize, though the negro has
a sweet tooth. Anew Orleans Times
Democrat
