produces nothing in pounds shillings and penoe according to the new york sun the american postmaster general recently pre sented a number of western merchants with free tlokets from chicago to philadelphia and return with the objeot of yetting them to buy from bis big philadelphia store they made purchases to a considerable amount enough to leave a goodly margin of profit over the price of the tioketa but on their return they stopped at new york and spent three times as muoh as they had spent in philadelphia whioh was not exaotly the idea the great merchant had in his head when he gave away the tickets the divorce oourts of the united states are distinguishing themselves just at present j the flack case in new york is as disgrace- ful as any could possibly jbnt it u not muoh worse than one whioh has come to light in washington a wife began divorce pro ceedings against her husband but upoa ob talning from him a deed of his entire fortune agreed to withdraw them she carried the suit on seoretly however and finally obtain ed a decree notwithstanding that she had continued to live with her husband while the case was in court she seems to have had a pull on the court as it is express ed in new york the discovery of a few more oases auoh as this ought to bring about a reform of the divorce system of the united states at first races between ocean steamships were deprecated as dangerous and the com panies emphatically denied the newspaper reports of suoh and suoh a steamer racing with another now that the public mind is familiarized with the idea and no injury seems to have been done to transatlantic travel the racing is done quite openly steamers belonging to several of the lines running into new york are now urged to full speed in order to make a reoord not for sefetx but for fast travelling an accident will happen during one of these contests and then we shall have steamship owners olamor- ing denials that racing had anything to do with it the prioe paid

whioh assembled at spithead the other day and that of the ships with wfefch nelson won his victories the splthftl fleet had 553 guns in all not including the nnumerable boat guns quickfiring and machine guns in nelsons time and for many years alter each manofwar carried whole tiers of guns the duke of wellington for instance having no lest than 131 on her three decks but the latter were mere toys compared with the giant breechloaders of today the heaviest shot used on the vic tory was only sixty- eight pounds the vic toria fire an eighteen hundred pound projec tile the change in the rnannmg of fleets is no less marked the spithead fleet had an aggregate of 21000 men corresponding we are told to an aggregate of 80000 in nelsons day the whole science of naval warfare in fact has

quickly restored when she opened her eyes she imagined herself in another world and it was some time before she could be convioted of her escape her description of what she saw during her apparent death was listened to with wonder and amazement by her new found friends she told of lovely parterres with beautiful streams flowing through and round them of flora and fauna of dazzling gorgeoueuess
