Winter Navigation.

Tue Mentreal Gazette, in a recent number, published a letter from a correspondent rela- tive to the construction of a winter steamer, by a shipbuilder in North Germany. As the aubject of Winter Navigation is of great im- portance to the people of well as other Provinces of the Dominion, we | here reproduce the letter in questien :—

To the Editor of the Gazette.

Dear Str.—The Gartenlaube, one of the best German illustrated journals, brings in one of its last numbers an article which, I think, is of 30 much interest to Montreal that I venture tu give you a short extract of it, trusting that you will grant it a space in your esteemed paper.

The winter in the north of Germany is not as severe asin Lower Canada, and the Elbe is not closed by ice every winter, but it hap- pens often enough to cause serious loss to Hambury’s trade, and naturally the question has often been raised whether, in such a case, nothing can be done to break the ice blockade,

To judge from the statements given in the Cartenalaubc—-and the respectabiiuty of the

this Provirce, as

rect—-the question has been settled satisfac- terily. The journal says that the shirbuilder, Mr,

structing a vessel which will keep communica- tion with the sea open evenin the severest winter,

The ship is built entirely of iron, 130 feet long. 82 feet beam, and the depth of hold amidst ship 164 feet.

The leading principle in the construction

aud slanting surface, to enable the ship to mount the ive and crush it by her weight. She is a screw steamer of 600-horse power, aud the engine is placed as much forward as possible to increase her weight there.

‘two boilers, each large.enough to work the engine in case of need. Room for abeut 106 tous coals. The whole ship is heated by steam, and as her deck is also of iron, and always warm, there is no danger of ice forming on it. She draws 1! ft. 6 inches aft, and by means of lage tanks placed on board the draft can be increased te 16 feet 10 inches ; to fill or empty these tanks requires 10 minutes only. The crew consists of 14 men, eight for the navigation ef gthe vessel, and six as engineers and tiremen. The cost of the ship in 1871 was $47,509.

As to her performances, it is stated that she breaks ice of from 8 to 10 feet thickness and packed ice upto16 feet thick without any diffieulty. Ice 3 feet thick and smocth ice of any size is broken without any perceptible delay. Ten miles of strong ice have been cleared in five hours, the ship moving with great ease, and towing at the same time. Such has been the satisfaction given, that the Senate of Hamburg, seeing the importance of the vessel to the commerce of the city, took her off the hauds of those who had clubbed to- gether to make the experiment, and contract- ed at the same time for another aud more powerful one at the price of $68,700.

I know that the distance from Montreal to open water is greater than from Hamburg to the sea, and there may be other obstacles here of which 1 am not aware; but if the plan sheuld be at all possible here, I think its im- portance can hardly be over-estimated, as Mentreal would be freed of the one great drawback to its becoming one of the largest shipping ports on the continent. Yours truly,

C. M.

A paper has been read before the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, giving an ac- count of a charter of confirmation by King Frederick [1I, of Denmark and Norway (1662), and other documents in the Norse language, relating to Shetland, by Mr. Gilbert Goudie, F. 5S. A. Scot.

Mr. A. Mathieson, Kirkfieldbank, has re- ceived the following note from Miss Glad- stone: ‘‘ Miss Gladstone begs to return her most sincere thanks for the beantiful piece ol cloth received from Mr. Mathieson, and wishes him to know how gratified she and her father were by the kind words whica accompanied the gift.”

Ata meeting of the Scottish Food Re- forin Suciety, the company, to the number of twenty, sat down to a repast, consisting of six courses—lentil and barley soup, hari- cot bean pies, laricet bean omelets with sauce, hominy pudding, pearl meal pudding and tapioca and apples.

The German Emperor will open the Reisch- stag in person. The German Newspapers are discussing England’s probable attitude in the event of a coutinental war. Prince Bismarck is working with extraordinary vigor.

He had quarrelled with the bride, and after waiting an hour beyond the appoirted time,” she teld her friends that he probably did not mean to come at all. ‘Thereupon an old admirer offered to take the missing man’s place. The woman hesitated, but tifteen minutes of vigorous courtship won her consent, and the ceremony was perfermed.

The Times Berlin correspondent asserts that a complete understanding has beeu arrived at on all the important questions regarding home and foreiga policy, between Prince Bismarck aud the imperor William. The same corres- poudent says that the rumor that the Crown Prince has been commissioned te visit the Pope, to come to an understanding oa the church struggle is unfounded. Prince Bis- marck bas resumed his functions with all «his old energy.

The Times Cabul correspondent says :—‘'No apprehension is felt that the present tranquii- ity will scom be disturbed.. Business in the city has been entirely resumed.’”’ The Times despatch from Candahar says; ‘‘Terrible ae- counts reach here from without the British lines.

In view of the year 1881 being the year prophesied when the world will end, Mother Shipton’s prophecy has been revived. Here are the principal events which have come to pass since that remarkable prophecy was pub- lished in 1448 :—

Leap Year Note.

Iron ships.

Ona recent night the members of the Kentucky Legislature were escorted by the young ladies of Frankfort to a leap year hop. The men were called for in carriages.

; The Americus, Ga., Republican tells of a Sumter county man who went to a leap- year party and was offered the heart and fortune of a rich maiden lady.

When the students at the University of Virginia attended a leap year entertain- ment given by the ladies of Charlotteville, they found that every lady had invited and expected to entertain six gentlemen.

A notable event in Chattanooga, T enn., seciety was the entertainment successfully conducted there by a number of “young ladies on Jan. 8. Accompanying the in- vitation was a notice asking “‘the pleasure of the company” of the yeung men, with the request to ‘‘please Iet us know, if agreeable, when to call for you.” None of the young men had any previous engage- ments and readily obtained the consent of their parents to attend. The ladies called in carriages. After the dancing the young men were Offered feminine arms and escort- ed down town+o a restaurant, where they were regaled handsomely.

Apropos ef leap year Chainbers’ Journal records a lady’s proposal made in a novel manner: The yeung man paying his usual evening visit, asked his lady love how she got along with her cooking. ‘‘ Nicely,” re- plied she. ‘‘Im improving wondrfully, and make splendid cake, now.” “Can you?” said the young fellow, ignorantly rushing on to his fate. ‘* What kind do you like best?” ‘*I like one made with fiour and sugar, with lots of currants and citron, and beautifully frosted on the top,” respouded she. ‘* Why, that’s a wedding cake |” cried he. ‘I meant wedding,” said she ; aad there was nothing left for him but to say ho meant wedding, too.

Leap year makes no changes in the ma- turity of a nete of hand in Indiana. Paper dated on February 28, 1880, payable one day from date, becomes dues March 1, the same as any otheretber. The question has cone beforo the Supreme Court in respect to serving ef process of 1876, the previous leap year. The law there requires ten days previcus service for the entry of judgment. in the case before the Court the judgment was premature if ¢ 28th and 29th of February were co dasone day. The Court said: “It must be regarded as settled in this State that the 28th and 29th of February in every bis-sextile year must _ computed and considered in law as one
