| Prevention of Accidents at Sea. | | —_——
Vice-Admiral J. E. Commerell favored che British Association with a paper on “The Prevention of Avoidable Accidents in Packet Ships.” The paper commenced by say’ng that in the competition which at the present day exists among the various large steamship companies for the privileges and emoluments of transporting the largest nuuber of passengers from England to the
United States and Canada and back, there appeared to be only one or two things taken into consideration. The ship which could ‘land her passengers in the shortest possible itime, house them with the greatest degree ,of luxury, and feed them with high meats ‘and strong drinks, bears off the palm, to be succeeded in her turn by a vessela few—| very few-—hours faster, and perhaps with a} |more delicate style of saloon furniture. The question of how much pressure there | is on the boilers and what provision there is | made for preventable accidents never enters into the calculation of any passenger ; all) these vital points, which it might be sup-| posed would be considered as main ques- | tions, are left to chance and the Board of ‘Trade. To class a vessel Al at Lloyds the | most crucial examinations are exacted, | | Building, scantling, thickness of plates, | | Stringers, are all closely laid down and in-! sisted on. But the moment a ship is off; the ways, everything seems of small! moment and taken into little account. It! pmast not be lost sight of that Lloyd’s sur- iveyor,”’is after all, in strictly private em- | 'ploy, and the ships of these companies who} ‘do their own insurance do not come under | | his examination at all. He was not de-| isirous for one moment to suggest that these | ‘maguificent vesse!s which eross the Atlantic are not well and faithfully kept, well found and excellently well commanded, lyut he thought that a portion of the en- ‘eamnanin sums of money lavished on the last | half-mile of speed, the luxurious cushions land gorgeous looking-glases and pictures, |might with more justice to passengers and ‘shareholders be laid out in providing against preventable accidents. It had been said that an accident to machinery by fire, by loss of rudders, occurred so seldom that it did wet pay to provide against it, but experience showed that this argument did not held good. During the months of October, November and December, 1881, thirty-five vessels were reported at Lloyds es having lost ther rudders, and fifty- two as having damaged them. The vice- admiral was desirous of seeing the rudders of the present day bung in such a manner (with all their parts equally strong) so as to bear the increased strain brought upon them, and so attached that if any part should go or become damaged no difficulty whatever may be experienced in any wea- ther in unshipping the damaged rudder, and substituting a new one equally strong and efficient as the old one, and he had laid before the public an invention for the remedy of this defect, which was strong, light and economica! ; eight ships had been tried with it, and it had never been found to fail. A ship using it need not go into the nearest port for repair, but may cov- tinue her voyage in safety. He had once received the following answer from a very successful underwriter to whom he made the suggestion, that here was a chance for him to negative the loss of some of the ships he had insured ; ‘*The loss of a rad- der (causing freqnently the loss of all hands) is a nautical incident which we have taken into account in the regulation of our premiums, it would therefore be bad policy on our part to diminish such inci- dents.” A reference was then made toa most serious accident which occurred to one of the Atlantic steamers about three years ago, the vessel having remained a helpless log for some fourteen days, and repeated attempts having been: made to fit a jury rudder, but without success, until at last she was towed in at an expeuse of £7,- 000. The paper concluded by giving the following questions to be asked by persons going on a voyage across the ocean them- selves, or sending those they held most dear :
In the case of fire—How many steam pumps have you! and is there a steam pump !
in the case of collision—Are the bulk- heads strong enough to resist the pressure which can be brought against them, high enough to keep the water out with de- creased flotation ? nd
In case of loss of ship—Are the boats sufficient in number, and eflicient to carry all the passengers and crew !

Farmer’s Homes.
Why should not a farmer's home bea veritable little paradise? Who else has so good an opportunity to beautify his grounds until they shall far exceed in beauty and elegance the grandest possibili- ties of any cramped and pent up city lawn ¢ We neglect this altogether too much; we have so much to do, we say, in looking after our crops that bring us money, that we have no time to spend with flowers, shade trees, etc., which simply ornament the place and bring no money. As an investment even, we believe this to be a mistake; aside from the financial side of the matter, we think it pays to take a little time—considerable, if necessary--to im-
prove the external appearance of our homes. Shade trees are at the dis lposal of every farmer, flowers and
plants are cheap, and easily obtained and cultivated, and we believe it is as much every man's duty to make his home and its surroundings the most beautiful and attractive place on earth, as it isto pile up alarge fortane tor future generations and lawyers. We ~do not expect to come this way again, so why not enjoy as much as we can as we go along. - + - —_

| Another New Party in Ireland.
{ }
Another party is said to be in process of organization for regulating the political affairs of Ireland. The new irstitution is decidedly a Home Rule party; bot the self government of Treland is to be upon the basis of loyalty to the crown of England. It is proposed to establish peasant proprie- torship in Ireland, thus conceding to the Land Leaguers the main principle for which an Irish parliament to sit at Dublin. This parlia- ment is to consist of existing lrish peers and their successors, to sit as 4 House of may be duly elected to the Lrish House of Com- A'l members of both Houses must take the oath of allegiance to the Queen of England or her successor, and the functions of Parliament will be contined to admin istering details within the provinces of Ireland.

Spencer puts his Foot in it!
{t is stated that Gladstone expressed sur- petse and annoyance at the recent declara- tion of Earl Spencer, that the policy of concession towards the Lrish could not be carried further than it had been. Cham- berlain is reported as being furious over this maladroit statement by Spencer, and says he will publicly disavow it on behalf of the Government. There is no doubt that the Liberal Mivisters ardently desire to bring about an alliance between all leaders, both English and Irish, who favor democratic principles, and they will cling to the hope that such an alliance is possible. Chamberlain says, Spencer has in one moment, retarded by twenty years the pacification of Ireland, and points to the sullen reception of the Lord Lieutenant a Killarney as confirmatory of his opinion. Parnellite orators, in the meantime, are making Spencer's remarks the text for their speeches in the autumn campaign. They say that the Lord Lieutenant has let the cat out of the bag, and has boldly and brutaliy expressed what the Government means and desires.

A Royal Matchmaker Outwitted.
Going one day from Potsdam to Berlin, he (Frederick the Great) saw coming towards him, in the opposite direction, a magnificent girl, young, handsome and of good figure, suberb in number of inches. He was at once struck with admiration for her; stopped to talk, and found that she was unmarried, and was on her way from Berlin to her Saxon ‘home. “Then,” said Frederick William, ‘‘you will be pass- ing the gate of Potsdam, and _ will, no doubt, give this note to the command ant, receiving a dollar for your t:ouble.’ But women, even when tall, are not so easily outwitted as Kirkiand, Joseph, and the like. The gir) knew the King by sight and reputation, and, knowing that to re fuse the note would prolably bring her a shower of blows from the rattan, accepted commission. Arrived near the gate of Potsdam, she found there a little wiz- ened old hag, to whom she entrusted the delivery of the letter, honestly handing over the dollar with it. Then forthwith she sped away toward home. The commandant opened the note, and found himself ordered to marry the bearer to a certain gigantic Irish Grenadier named Maedoil ? (McDowall). He rubbed his eyes, but there could be no doubt about the clearness of the command. The Grenadier was sent for, and then began a curious scene. The man was in absolute despair. Such a mate for this thews and sinews seemed a horrible mockery. The pro posed wife, on the contrary, was quite ready to submit herself to the orders of the King. There was no escape; to refuse
further would be flat mutiny, and the soldier was actually obliged to vbey. The mistake was not discovered till the next
morning, when Frederick, finding himself thwarted in his design for the development of giants in Germany, consented to the divorce of the ill-matched couple.— ‘Frederick the Great,’ by Col. C. B, Brack enbury, R. A,

Fun in a Horse.
Rather a regular series of interruptions occurred on the train due here on Satur- day from the West. When leaving Syra- cuse, a car Jaden with horses en route from the west to Saratoga was connected with the train. The train had scarcely got under way when the bell cord was jerked, and the engineer warned to stop. The brakes were shut down, and inquiry made along the train as to what was the matter. The trainmen all denied pulling the cord, and after an examination as to the cause, with- out result the train got under way. Scarcely 500 yards had been gone over however, before the bell cord was again pulled and the train brought to a stop. Another inquiry and examination along the line failed to reveal the cause, and another start was made, when, for a third time, the mysterious signal was sounded. This time another thorough investigation was made, which was equally fruitless. Once more was the train started up, aud again the warning signal was sent to the engine. This time, when astop was made, it was determined to ascertain whether any other than human agency was responsible for the signal, and the train was thoroughly gone over. When the car containing the horses was reached, a jerking of the bell was notice- able, and on further examination it was found that one of the animals in the car, finding that the bell rope was within reach, had amused himself by seizing it with his
teeth and jerking it to and fro. The mystery of the signals being thus satis- factorily explained, the bell rope was
hitched up out of the animal's reach, and the train continued on its way.— Albany Journal,
