Saturday Night; '
Squadron Drills at Sea.
The smooth clean hulls of the new
cruisers, their glistening steel weap
ons, their speed f.nd power, the evi
dences of strength, both offensive and
defensive, which they display, their
numerous - mechanical and scientific
appliance?, all mark them as fully
abreast of the development of thi3
age of steel, and as worthy to main
tain the honor of the flag under its
hew and altered conditions. Once
more the navy of the United States
ficems equal to any demands that
might be made upon it, to be a sure
reliance in time of National emergen
cy, a defence in the event of National
peril. -
The ships weigh from four thousand
to ten thousand toii3 each. They
would be moving at a speed of fifteen
knots ' or more. Their formation
must bo compact and regular, for at
such a speed a mere touch of one to,
another might be a disabling blow,
and if the squadron is scattered by
ships losing distance an alert enemy
may find his opportunity. Then the
admiral's signals must .be looked to.
If the vessels change direction, they

desires to chango his formation or his
front, it must bo done without con
fusion. A captain of a ship in a fleet
action has therefore a double duty
first, to employ his own weapons to
the best advantage and to endeavor to
avoid those of the enemy ; second, to
manoeuvre his ship with her consorts,
obeying and supporting his admiral;
and the latter he must do amidst the
i .1.1 i : r : i i j.

ing must therefore become to him a
second nature something to be done
almost unconsciously as a matter of
habit, and this habit can b"e acquired
only by long and constant practice.
The highest school of naval war in
time of peace, that work which solves
its problems, and is the best guaran
tee of future success, is manoeuvring
vessels in company with others iu

ron tactics.
Proficiency in this art has always
accompanied naval supremacy. It
was so in the galley period and, much
later, during that long period when
vessels were propelled by sails alone.
Tho victories of St. Vincent and
Nelson were the joint product of their
genius and of fleets of unusual mobil
ity and tactical training. With mod
ern vessel of great speed and power,
independent of the wind, and armed
with weapons of variety and precis
ion, this kind of training and drill U
more valuable is, in fact, essential.
Naval Writers of all countries dwell
upon its . importance, and continually
urge that increasing attention be given
to it during those times of peace
which afford the only real opportuni
ty of preparing for the sharp and de

The Way Out of It. .
An old army officer, who knew little
of law, had been appointed governor
of a West India island. The most ap
palling duty which the governor had to
perform was the administration of Jus
tlce, and in his ignorance he addressed
Lord Mansfield In a tone of great con
cern, saying he knew nothing of law,
and asking what he should do as the
presiding officer of the local court of
chancery on the island to which he was
going. "Tut, man," said Mansfield,
"decide promptly, but never give any
reasons fpr your decisions. Your de
cisions may be right, but your reasons
are sure to be jwrong."

It will cure 98 per cent, of all cases if taken

first action is to put the stomach, bowels,
liver and kidneys into good working: order.
That makes digestion good and assimilation

the "Discovery" good for those who have not

robust than they ought to be.

hanged, having been convicted of the

for a noted desperado very modest.
Common report credited him with the
killing of twenty men, but -he would
only acknowledge to having done for
eight. This strict adherence to truth
is remarkable in a professional assas

Red Mule Smith must have had some
