Untortunately, the} bal ut pnroilec opinion just now Pm io bein favor of the iron vessel, aithough there are many who still adhere to the belief that in the end the wooden vessel will prove herself the | better of the two. A writer in the New York Jar hurnal, in discuss ing the superiority of American wood vessels over Kuropean. iron, argues that America can build wooden vessels that will outlast English-built iron ves- seis, and pre a better investment. | His reasoning is based entirely on the| Bureau Veritas Register, which he} says does justice in its system ol classification to every sort of material, aod wh inspections, made in all parts world according to set rules by subje f all governments, al m the bias of pnativism and the craft of state policy. He claims that the contrast in longevity sbows t san Vessels are. uumistake ably v to English iroa’ ves kels writer, says the Journal 18 Mr. W.W. Bates, whoisnot only a practical shij eet of acknowledged n , but a writer on Marine subjects © 1 repute and the best intormed t ] ng probably on either hemisphere. If there is anything in Bates says,and his arguments impress of truth and reason, ¢ provincial ship-builders should take couvageffor it is a well-known fact that our provincial-built ships, are equally |, as good, if not better than United States built vessels. Itis only a fow ago since oneof our St. Jokn ssels made her name famous by out sailing a new iron ship from San Fran- cisco, and landing her cargo in far better condition. If we expect to suc- cessfully compete with the iron sail- vessel, however, one fact must be kept prominently forward, i. e, the absolute necessity for our wood vessels being of the very best description. Cheap ships are a very unprofitable iavestment, and itis largely due to this fact that the iron vessel has won its way into pub- lie favor so quickly. *-<>-> Giving Wedding Présents. —_—— The enstom of giving wedding pre- seals as it now exists, is a sdcial tax, which, though paid by everyone,is only paid grudgingly and on compulsion. It resents neither affection nor interest, isnot productive of the smallest any, Save the manufacturers \08e Wares are sold for the purpose. iv ; tlistery does not sav much about wed- ding presents, ex 9 8 to the presents bridegroom and the bride give her. The ee Geecks, we read, aiways presented a newly married oupie witha basket of acorns mixed with bread. Thev gaye household fur- biiure besides, accor ae to their feel- admiration running to a four- post bedstead, while respect contented itself with a Lo stool; but the acorns were compulsory, and were to the Greeks what the teapot is to us. Why acorns we do not know, but everything those people did was emblematical. If they cou shed, it was highly emblema- tical, and if they stabbed their friends through the back, or a man ran away wiih his wife, it was still emble smatical, so that, no doubt, both giver and mes ceiver perfectly understood one another and their acorns found their way to the pigs and the bre ad to the chickens, with benefit all around. Among the Romans, whom wo could no more afford to lose than the Greeks, the relations and friends of the newly married pair, we are to were very great at parting with nuts at the marriage festival. The nuts in this case were also obligatory ; the present giver might throw in a toga, ‘n Glectroptated chariot, or a fn he back pocket if he liked, i ts he must disburse.
