Next to an honest, able and

this when a wild legislature with

to constitute public policies would
do a world of harm, and put ob-

development and progress
it would take years to remove.
For the past few years the ten-

have moved into Southern States

made homes, while have

any redeeming It would
be a revolutionary legislature,
and among the first things it
would do would be to redistrict
the State, and so apportion the
districts that the revolutionary
element would have practical con-

The next thing it do
would be to call a State
to make a new constitution

North Carolina has prospered and
her people have been as well gov

THE CHINESE NAVY.
Her Effective Ships Were Built In
European Yards.
China has long recognized the
of a navy, and her fleet of
war-junks was, before the
of ships of war,
very extensive, but her experience
in tho with Great
Britain led her to suspect that
these vessels of venerable de-
sign were not all she imagined
to be; but events move slowly in
China, and twenty-five years
elapsed before that suspicion be-
came a certainty and she could
bring herself to believe that her war-
junks were worthless.
In 1867 and in some gunboats
were built for her in England, and a
few in her own ports, but they were
all small, and it was not until 1872
that a 3,400-ton wooden frigate, con-
of Chinese labor under for-
direction, was launched at
Shanghai. Since then a number of
composite and one steel vessels have
been turned out by the Chinese
dock yards, tho three largest of
them being tons displacement,
the balance of less than 1,800 tons;
so that to-day her really effective
ships, viz., five armored, four pro-
and thirteen partially pro-
vessels, were furnished by
European ship yards.
On January 1886, the ships of

orders of the viceroys, were, by
decree, merged into a national
navy, and under the direction of a.
naval board of control, established
at Peking.
At last accounts there was no
fixed limit to the and men,

requirements of the service.

Novel Way of Saving a Burning Vessel.
One of the most brilliant pieces of
ocean-wrecking seamanship on rec-
whereby the vessel, far out in
the Atlantic with her cargo on fire,
was saved and brought safely to port,
was performed on board the Amer-
ship John Jay, commanded by
Capt. Samuel Jackson.
When two weeks out the cargo
was discovered to be on fire. The
captain determined upon his course
of action. He had the carpenter
lowered over the rail, and Instructed
him to bore several holes low down
by the water line. The vessel was
then put on the other tack so that
she would be heeled over on the side
where the holes had been made.
The water shot through these
openings, and after tho ship had
been allowed to sink almost to the
level of tho deck, she was put around
on the other tack again, so that the
holes came within two or three feet
of the top of the water. Several of
the sailors, with lines made fast
their arms and holding long
wooden pegs and hammers, slid
down along the side, steadying them-
selves by ropes that had been passed
under the vessel and hauled taut, so
that they of the
holes. Tho tapering pins were
thrust into tho openings and knocked
tight, then the vessel was put be-
fore the wind to get her on an even
keel, and tho crew turned to and
pumped her Young
