At any moment it might have been dislodged, when, without warn. Paralleling in respect of its grim significance the instance just quoted is the case of a tombstone which sav ed its owner's life. It sounds paras doxical, but is readily explained. An eccentric pensioner, by dint of pain. ful ecopomies, had purchased the stone to he erected above his grave.

Here the means of recording his vir. tures became the agent for maltiply- ing them, A Famous English Lawyer. The statement that Mr. Rufas Isaacs, K.C., the great English law- yer, is said to be anxious not to re ceive the usual honor of knighthood, which is eonferred upon the occasion of appointment to the office of Soli- al eral, may have mare truth in 14 than many of the stories of a similar ehardcter which reach Can- ada. Mr. Isaacs, who is of Jewish descent and the son of a London mer- shant, has always been a man of must demoeratic fastes, although for many years he has been recognized as a man of great wealth. Besides many extensive and remunerative invest. ments, Mr. Isaacs has for some years been making an income of $100, per annum, and he can therefore afford the \smparary loss of his prac- fice' at the Bar. He has had an ex- infry career.

What the Old River Has Produced | For Britain. The laying down of the keel of the new Dresdnonght, the Thunderer, at the Thames Ironworks, a day or two ago, will bring into existence the twelwe hiadng and twenty-seventh man-of-war built for the royal navy on the river during four centuries of warship building. In thai total is counted every class of war craft of which there is record; from sailing three-deckers of the olden time, and modern first-class battleships, to gun- boats, sloop of war and corvettes of the days of spars and sails, and mod- m to boats and de rs. Of the twelve hundred and twenty- i i unched on the " La more; k ; fours," "eighties" "ninety- ight's," up to a i ships--shi . forthe line of battle, as the old phrase went. Ten of Henry the Eighth's warfleet--to go back to the earliest times from which there are records--were Thames-built; thirty of i Elizabeth's; ten of James the Pirst's; seventy of Cromwell's; forty under' Charles the Scond; eight un- der William the Third an ueen Anne; and some three hundred and twenty during the eighteenth century, between 1714, when "George the First came to the turone, and 1815, the close of the Great Wor with Napol- eon, in addition to upwards of sixty from 1815 fo the present time, includ. ing the battleships Duncan and Corn. wallis, now serving at sea, the great modern pre-Dreadnought cruiser Black Prince, and the new Dread. nought battleship the Thunderer, now being begun. At Trafalgar, in fact, eleven of the twenty-seven ships that formed Nel- son's line of battle were London or Thames built ships; four of them lagpched from the royal dockyards of Woolwich and Deptiord, seven bmilt for the navy in private ship- at Blackwall, Gravesend, Roth. crhithe, and elsewhere on the river. Iteven out of Nelson's thirteen ships at the battle of the Nile had been sent afloat on the Thames; seven of them built at private yards, the other five ut Peptiord and Woolwich. Thirteen of Duncan's. sixteen at Camperdown were Thames-built man-of-war, nine of them in private yards. Not 'a few of the Thames-built fleet were ships that made their mark in history, that won fame that will last gs long as the British navy itself lasts. Grenville"s immortal Revenge was a Thames-built ship; as was our first Victory, Hawking' flagship in the battles with the Spanish Armadas, and also our second Victory, one of Rlgke's hardest fighters, and also one of Blake's flagships. The Armada Dreadnought, und Swiltsure; Sir Walter Raleigh's favorite, the first Warspite; the historic Sovereign of the Seas, Charles the First's "Won- der of the World"; Cromwell's Nase- by, which Evelyn saw and made a caustic comment on just after her launch; the famous yal London, built out of subscriptions in the City for Charles the Second, were built by Thames labor in Thames yards. Ben. how's flagship the Breda, on board which he lost hi slife, was another famous Thames man-of-war; as were the first Shannon, on board - which Collingwood began his sea life; the Royal George, which went down go tragically at Spithead with Kempen- felt on board and nine hundred peo- ple. The famous Brunswick, which fought so desperate a duel with the French Vengeur on the "Glorious First of June"; Nelson's flagships at St. Vincent, at the Nile and at Copen- hagen (the Captain, the. Vanguard and the Elephant), were all Thames ships. The heroic Colossus, a seventy- four in Collingwood's line at Trafal- gar, was a Thames-built ship, and in the battle was manned, too, mostly by Londoners, of whom, indeed, one man in -three was either killed ar wounded; 80, too, was the Agamem- non, hich 2 heroically fought as flagshi; e inshore squadron at the bombardment of Bel 1; the Warrior, our first ironclad; the fam- ous old troopship the Himalaya; and many another. here we must sto] short.
