Give New York q Chance.

Did Boston have her Revolutionary tea
party told in every school history? So did
New York when out Sons Of Liberty, as
semblinS without disguise, boldly boarded
the Birth tea ship London and dumped
IS chests of the hatod tea into the salt wa
ters off what is now Battery park. The
Boston massacre is often spoken Of rs the
first bloodshed Of the Revolution, but it
was antedated nearly II month and a half
by New York's battle of Golden HILL
wherein at least one patriot of New York
city lost his life defending liberty polo
that stood on what is now City Hall park
frcm the assaults Of tho soldiers Of King
George.
Did Boston have Paul Revere? New
York more than matches him in Marinus
Willett capturing almost single handed the
guns which British regiment were car
rying off to use against the patriots assem-
bling in New England, and the act of Viii.
lett far outranks in picturesque heroism
the story told in verse by Longfellow.
Frauncc's tavern, still standing at the cor
ncr of Broad and Pearl streets, in this
city, where the Sons of Liberty plotted in
dependence and where after independence
had been won Washington delivered his
famous farewell address, easily ranks with
Old South church and Fanouil hall as q
spot sacred to the lover of his country

A change In the system In naming our
ships Of war would seem to be advisable,
90 far as certain features are CONCERNED.
The policy of naming o class Of ships after
the states Of the Union and another class
after important or historical cities and
towns is admirable Still another class
bears the names of our great naval heroes.
This also is as 1t should be, so far as the
names arc regarded, but it seems entirely
inappropriate that those names should DO
borne by the class to which they arc as
signed. In the British navy the names Of
the great commanders are given to the
greatest and finest Of the ships, and the
example should be followed by us. Those
names would thus be carried into all parts
Of the world and made familiar to all pco-
pie
But 1t seems almost as inappropriate to
give such names as Farragut, Porter,
Somers and the like to o lot of torpedo
boats-craft without dignity or magnitude
--as it would be to assign those names to
steam launches, tugboats or vessels of the
mosquito fleet. Tho practice of naming
the torpedo boats after this fashion is said
to be thoroughly distasteful to the officers
of the navy. There is certain appropri-
ateness in giving tho name Of Gushing to
such craft, for 1t was the daring act of
blowing up the Confederate ram Albe-
marie by n torpedo boat extemporized from
launch that gave Gushing his fame. The
name Of Ericsson, too, is appropriately as
ISOLATED with n peculiarly modern and de-
structiye engine of war, but it would be
better to commemorate the great Swede,
to whom we are all deeply indebted, by
giving his name to ono of the best of tho
monitors in honor of his invention of the
type. Boston Herald.

4 COMFORT ONE .ANoTHEH1

Comfort one another,
For the way Is often dreary,
And the feet are often weary,
And the heart Is very sad. #
There is heavy burden bearing, I"
When 1t seems that none are caring,
And we half forget that ever we were
glad.
- a.
Comfort one another,
With the handclasp, close and tender,
With the sweetness love can render,
And the looks of friendly eyes.
Do not wait with grace unspoken,
While life's daily bread is broken,
Gentle speech is oft like mama from
the skies.
