In consequence of the growth of the French and Russian armies, and in view of the in- crease of revenue by taxation, the German Government 1s considering the advisability of increasing the army, for which purpose it asks a perpetual grant trom Parliament.

Tue United States Charge d’Affairs at Berne explains that the recent vote in favor of the restoration of capital punishment in Switzerland does not represent the sentiment of the people. A question of State rights was involved in the recent ballot. To obtain a true test a vote should be taken by each can- ton separately.

Wattiace Ross, the St. John sculler, has re- turned home from England. He speaks in high tones of British fair play. The Sun says: ‘« There is no disguising the fact that Wallace Ross is to-day a better oarsmen than he was when he set sail for England last November in the barque ‘*‘ Arklow.” English trainers may claim what measure of credit for this im- provement they like; but the fact remains that they had the best material in the world to work on when they took hold of Ross, and that the result is largely due to his own com- mon sense, coupled with an attentive study of what he saw and heard. We feel confident that great as have been the triumphs of ou young sculler, he will yet win even more re- newned victories.”

Personals. The Ottawa Citizen states that it is not unlikely that the Rt. Hon. Sir John

Shipbuilding on the Clyde.

The decline of the Clyde shipbuilding trade is exciting much uneasiness. How great the decline is may be shown very briefly from statistics collected by the Glasgow Heruld. In 1874 the steam ton- nage built an the Clyde amounted to 183,- 144 tons, the sailing tonnage to 69,166, or to 252,510 tons in all, being 44 per cent. of the steam tonnage built in the whole United Kingdom, and 39} per cent of the sailing tonnage, or 43 per cent. cf the whole. Last year the Clyde turned out only 131,445 steam tons and 56,678 sailing tons; while the tctal tonnage built-in the United Kingdom was 8 per cent. greater than in 1874.

Sunday.

In the debate m the House of Lords on the opening of museums on Sundays, the Marquis of Ripon explained that Sunday was not a fast but a feast, or, in the lan- guage of John Keble, ‘‘An Easter day in every week.” While he admitted that, were he forced to choose between most stern and rigorous Sunday observance which ever was practised in Great Britiain, and a Continental Sunday divided between business and horse racing, he would choose the first, he still held that it would be much more consistent with the due sanctity of the Sunday that aman should spend his afternoons in a museum, gallery or library, than that he should spend it alone in a public house, with all the evils of deterior- ation that must fellow.
