Revenue Cutter with n Torpedo Tube lu lloiv lieiinc Constructed at Cleveland— Resriuament of Canada’s Militia forces Decided l pen.

A Sun special from Washington says: Oen. Finger, chief of the ordnance corps of the United States army, when asked whether he thought fortifications wore necessary along the lakes,

said:

“Most certainly 1 do. We should have a line of fortresses fromOgdeusburg to Duluth sufficient to defend the hike ports against un invasion. Not that 1 expect an invasion, but because I believe the best way to prevent one is to be jirepared for it. Our people air never prepared lor anything. We never begin to get a thing ready until we need it, whereas, England and the other European powers are always ready, and if England should declare war against the United States she would Is- prepared with gunboats and troop ships and artillery to make an attack instantly, whereas it would require us from four to live years to ge.t ready to meet her.” “What would you do if war was declared by England against the l nited States?” ‘1 would blow up the locks on the Welland canal. That would prevent the British gunboats from entering the lower lakes from the ocean, and we eould build ships quite as fast as they eould.” “W here should we have fortifications on the lakes?” “At Bufi'alo, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Port Huron, Mackinaw and Sault Ste. Marie. They need not he extensive or elaborate, only earth works to protect eight-inch cannon and rapidfiring guns. with the necessary margin, and they need not be expensive, although it costs a good deal to mount and handle heavy artillery.” A Times sjieriul from Washington says: A novelty has been introduced cu hoard a revenue cutter under con struction at Cleveland, which may engage the attention of the diplomat'c authorities of Great Britain. Sonic months ago Secretary Carlisle awarded a contract for a vessel tot s.erx ice on the great lakes. A Cleveland firm received the order and the pk ns for the ship required, among other things that it should be armed with three six-pounders, and that a torpedo tube should be placed in the ho v. ibis is the first instance of such a feature being added to a revenue cutter, p.ithough England lues three ships of that ser\lee on the lakes equipped with insignificant weapons. The bout may never he. equipped w ith a torpi do, hut the equipment woidd add materially to the influence of the cutter in its regular w'ork and render it more valuable us ti naval adjunct in time of trouble. 1 he latter consideration may aro->se the British authorities to objection, although suen a result is not anticipated. There is still in existence an arrangement made by this country with England about the maintenance war ships on the great lakes. '1 he treaty has bean sufficiently binding to exclude the ship builders on the lakes from securing contracts on two occasions for ships of war. A state depertmept officer said in reference to the subject: “Any manifest violation of the treaty would very properly lead to objections from Great Britain, the diplomatic authorities of which government would call our attention to the infraction. We i re careful about such things, however, end the equipment proposed for the cutter cannot he regarded, I should say, as a failure on our part to respect our agreement with England ”

Canada has finally decided upon its line of act ion with reference to the rearmament of the militia forces. The permanent force is to be armed wbh the Lee-Metford rifle and the millua with the Martini-Henry rifle. Col. Lake, the quartermaster-general who is now- in England, bus been instructed to enter into a contract for 40,000 stand of Martini-Fnfield lifles. This weapon has the Martini lock ar.d r-ction with the Enfield barrel, or mo lifieation of it, and takes the same bullet as the Lee-Metford rifle, so that the regulars at Halifax, the permanent force and the militia will all use the

Moro ( ollt’gf* f.Irn In Scotland Than tn ISnglaud. This desire for education is, indeed, the best feature in the intellectual temperament of the Scottish people. The well-known ambition of the Scottish mother to have her son “wag his pow in pu'pit" is now somewhat weakened by the opening up of other paths of intellectual achievement,hut there is still, says W stminstcr lleview, a widely diffused desire for intellectual in preference to commercial pursuits. It is un indication of the craving which exists for knowledge in general that for every young man who goes to college in England seven go to colleges in Scotland. In 1S85 Scotland, with a population of 3,725,000, had 6,500 students attending her four universities, while England, w ith 26,000,000 of population, lind 6,000 attending her four teaching universities. This, it may be supposed, has some conneefion with the large percentage of Scotch lawyers, doctors, clergymen and schoolmasters to Ik: met with throughout the English-speaking world. The success of “the Scot abroad” is i>erhaps not entirely or even mainly due to his theology, hut it was at any rate the Scottish kirk that founded and fostered the Scottish educational system, and as to theology itself, if it has tended to confirm in him that quality of “high seriousness” which Matthew Arnold considered so important a feature in the best type of charncter, then the Scotchman’s theology and its associations have borne a not inconsiderable part in making him w hat he is.

Hood's Sarsaparilla.

LINCOLN'S WIDE SYMPATHY. Treated All People Alike in u Courteous Manner. “Boracc Greeley once said: T doubt whether man, woman or child, white or black, bound or free, virtuous or vicious, ever accosted or reached forth a hand to Abraham Lincoln and detected in his countenance or manner any repugnance or shrinking from the proffered contact, any assumption of superiority, or betrayal of disdain.’ "Frederick Douglas, the orator and patriot, is credited with saying: ‘Mr. Lincoln is the only white man with whom I have ever talked, or in whose presence I have ever l)een, who did not consciously or unconsciously betray to me that he recognized njy color.’ “George Bancroft, the historian, alluding to this characteristic, which w as never so conspicuously manifested us during the darker days of the war, beautifully illustrates it in these memorable words: ‘As a child, in a dark night, on a rugged w ay, catching hold of the hand of its father for guidance and supi>ort, Lincoln clung Lust, to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom.’ ” SMART COYOTE TRICK. Sheep Cleverly Ilenled to the Ilrink of u Precipice. An incident in illustration of a smart! trick said to be frequently played by coyotes in securing food from among the herds of shoe]) on western ranches is related by a rancher of Grantcounty, Oregon. He had a herd of about 1,000 sheep, and recently missed a large number. In searching for them a herder found three sheep lying on the brink of a precipice, their throats marked w ith the teeth of a coyote. He made bus way to Uie bottom, a canyon, 300 feet below, and there found the bodies of lit) sheep, or rather parts of their bodies, for the coyotes had been feeding on the carear.ses for a week or more. From other incidents of like character it was concluded that several coyotes had got among the herd when tlie sheep were driven off their bedding during a storm, and had herded them ' to the brink of the precipice, much as a lot of sheep dogs woukl drive sheep, "hen the edge was reached the coyotes! pressed the herd so hard in the rear that the 110 at. the front either jumped or were pushed over the precipice “PA FELT LONELY.” Queer Freak of a Drunken Unite in Cleveland* A Cleveland, family was in court the other day. A daughter was one of t lie witnesses, and she had this cheerful tale to tell of her father: “Fa was sitting in Ids saloon, feeling lonely. He went to the barn, and putting a halter on Ills horse brought him into the 1 louse, saying lie wanted the animal to eat supper w ith him. Fa made me set a plate for the hor se. Then he tool; hold of the horse's front legs and lifted them upon the table. We all sat down to su|)]x'r and the horse began to out. Fa picked ii]) a mug of boor and began to laugh and throw both hands in the air. The mug hit the horse on the nose. The beast pulled his feet down, dragging Die tablecloth and upsetting the table, l The horse backed up and sat squarely on n red hot stove. This burned its tail so the animal kicked the stove over and ran out of the door. J screamed and pa threw a lamp at me. The house enme near catching fire, and a ]>oliceman came in. Fa 1ms been arrested 108 times.”
