"Joke away," said Noah, "for I can stand it but pray tell me wfiy I was not invited to your 5-O'clock tea." "Because," they replied, "you are, not in the swim, while we are." "Yes," he answered, "and in just (looking at his watch) thirteen days you will be more than in the swim." Then he went to clapboarding the ark.

A NaYAL EESEETE MILITIA. In yesterday's edition the Picayune, in an article on the increase of the militia force, referred to the desirability of establishing here a body of naval reserve militia similar to the establishments of that character maintained in certain of the Eastern States. Since the article in question was written it has been announced in the various daily papers that this subject was poached upon at the receut annual meeting of the Southern Yacht Club. The naval reserve battalions of the Eastern seaboard were organized under the auspices of leading yacht clubs, although receiving countenance and assistance from the various States, besides substantial help in the way of equipments from the National Government. So important have the national authorities considered the establishing of naval militia forces, that a special appropriation has been secured for the purpose of furnishing the necessary equipment to such bodies organized by the seaboard States.

There are several reasons why New Orleans should possess such a naval reserve battalion. In the first place, this city is the second most important seaport in the country, and, conse-auently, in time of war would be a special object of attack for an enterprising enemy. In the second place, this city is the only point in the South where a naval reserve battalion could be successfully maintained, because of its being the only port possessing a sufficiently large population; and. in the third place, vicinity of New Orleans, with the waters of the river and lakes convenient, affords an inviting field for the operations of such a force as a naval militia. An organization such as the Southern Yacht Club could do much to start a movement that would result in the organization of a creditable naval reserve battalion, and once the movement is set on foot we believe that there will be no lack of candidates for enrollment in it.

THE DESCHAMPS CASE. Some days ago a self-appointed delegation of medical men of this city requested permission to examine into the sanity of Etienne Deschamps, now under sentence of death for a murder committed more than two years ago. The crime, but for the fact that it was committed so long ago, should be well known to this community. It was a case of unusual atrocity, the victim being a young girl of 13 years old, who was the child mistress of the murderer and who was found dead and nude in the murderer's own bed. There was no sort of doubt about the facts.

They were fully proved and not denied. The case went through the entire ronnd of the courts and judgment was affirmed against the murderer. Now, more than two years after the perpetration of the crime, self-appojnted committee of physicians-has pronounced the man v. The committee is composed of 'medical men of good professional repute and standing in the community. The committee's report is published elsewhere and is made up upon the murderer's statement about magic, hypnotism, clairvoyance and astrology, in all of which vagaries of science the murderer professes to be a believer and practitioner.

From all of this, the committee is led to the opinion that the prisoner is insane. Now, it is not absolutely certain, if -indeed it is reasonable to assume, that all persons who believe in hypnotism, clairvoyance, magie and astrology are insane, and both the murderer's own narration and the verdict of the committee of physicians fail to connect such insanity with the Killing, although there is not the slightest doubt that he killed her. But if we allow that the man is insane to-day, can such a fact, even if it were a fact Und not a mere opinion, as declared by the committee, be accepted as having any relation to the man's sanity twenty-six or twenty-seven months agof Can any fact as to the man's sanity two years ago be predicated npon any real or alleged condition, to-day Certainly not. The physicians do not venture such an assumption. They give it as an opinion that the man is insane that, if so, he is probably suffering from some lesion of the brain that if so, this lesion probably dates back for several years.

Certainly this is intelligent, certainly it is reasonable, but it is only an opinion, offered as an opinion, which was all the scientists felt authorized to advance. We must approve the- professional zeal of these gentlemen in volunteering for such a service, but their verdict fails to cast a doubt on the justice of the sentence which has been declared npon the perpetrator of a most shocking and demoralizing crime. It places no obstacle in the way of the execution of justice. THE BRITISH BUDGET. On Monday, Mr.

Goschen, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, presented the annual budget to Parliament epitomizing the expenditures for the past year and furnishing an estimate of probable resources and expenditures of the three kingdoms for the ensuing year. It is of course impossible to intelligently criticise the financial statement of any foreign country without intimate and practical knowledge of the details of its department, but it is of course possible to acquire a general idea of the financial standing of a particular nation from the published exhibits. According to Mr. Goschen, the financial affairs of Great Britain are most prosperous aud the outlook for the immediate future promises' a continuance of the process of healthy development which has been noted annually for some years past. "Good fortune," said Mr.

Goschen, "permitted him to again submit a budget showing a surplus of over 1,007,000. This state of things," he added, largely due to economical administration, and not in any sense to an expansion of the revenue." According to Mr. Goschen's analysis of the finances of Great Britain for recent years, it is shown that the estimates of probable expenditures have differed but in a very small degree from the actual expenses of the Goverment, each year showiug a small margin of excess in the estimates over the actual disbursements. In the lost budget the estimate of expenditures was sterling. The actual expenditures wore i98.928,000 sterling, leaving a surplus of 330,000 sterling.

This, was a remarkably small difference between the estimates and actual expenditures. The total estimate of expenditure during the last three years was 204,000,000 sterling. The total difference in the expenditures was only 137,000 sterling. This showing is- in strong contrast to the condition of our own finances during the present administration. The magnificent surplus which the.

eonntry possessed at the close of the Cleveland administration has entirely melted away, and not only have the annual appropriations and estimates fallen short of the expenditures, but each session of Congress has been compelled to provide, in a general deficiency bill, for largo expenditures by the various branches of the Government over the expected and authorized disbursements. When the vast dem ands npon the British treasury are considered it is remarkable that the annual financial showings should prove that the expenses have been kept within the budget, and that all the departments had beep so carefully administered as to permit, instead of a deficit, as has been usual of late with us, a small surplus. It is true that the British Government does not have to contend with a colossal pension roll which annually drains the country of an enormous percentage of its total revenue, but. on the other hand, it is compelled to maintain a magnificent naval establishment, besides an effete monarchical system, with its numerous sinecures and emoluments. While the comparison of financial management of Great Britain and the United States may be somewhat unfavorable to this country at the present time, the fact remains, nevertheless, that the two nations are financially the most prosperous of the great powers of the world.

HAE3I0NT IN THE TAUTY. We have been anxiously seeking through the Foster papers for some expressions looking to harmony and a restoration of party unity. Naturally we would expect some evidences of a disposition of generosity and magnanimity on the part of the people who claim possession of the election machinery of the State, and who gained the verdict of a majority of the Committee of Seven. We are sorry to see few signs of any desire for a healing of the breach on any terms. The Baton Gouge Truth, which has been rather a moderate Foster organ, seems to voice a by no means limited sentiment It says in its issue of April 9: "Were it not for the few good citizens who are supporting the McEnery ticket we would be rejoiced at the separation which has taken place.

Wo thus get rid of the ward bosses, heelers, ballot-box staffers and alien riff-raff who have so long polluted and corrupted Louisiana politics." The committee which declared in favor of Mr. Foster's candidacy admitted that there were over 43,000 votes cast for McEnery. The Baton Rouge paper is certainly hard on the men who cast those votes. It was time enough to indulge in this sort of wholesale vituperation in the heat of the canvass. Now, on the supposition that harmony in the party is desirable, this sort of thing seems out of place.

QUITTED. THEMSELVES AS MEN. The Charleston News and Courier concludes a very pleasing article on the recent Confederate reunion at New Or leans with the following "There was anothercause forprido and satisfaction moreover in the gathering at New Orleans, which should not be overlooked. The thousands of old Confederates were there at their own expense and asked nobody to pay their way or give them money. They have made their own living like men ever since they returned home from the war.

There was not one pauper among them, although one division was composed of disabled veterans. It is a good record for the boys in gray and one that is worth to them and to their sons and to their people far more than all the millions that have been given to their old enemies." This is a notable fact, and it shows that the men who fought for the South and survived were in every way worthy of the highest title to manhood. Their achievements in peace were quite as distinguished as their deeds -done in war. At the close of the great struggle, impoverished, disfranchised and confronted with a most radical cbango in their labor system, these men addressed themselves to the difficult problems and arduous labors of rehabilitating their States and rebuilding their fortunes. The wonderful success with which their efforts wore attended has been written in some of the most striking passages in the history of tho country's recent development.

All the progress and prosperity of the "New South." about which so much has been said and written, is due to the men of the. Old South, the men who went to the great war and survived its ravages. A SUBJECT FOR CONTEMPT. On the 4th of December last a woman. Baroness Dollard, was found murdered in her bedchamber in her house, in Paris, France.

The crime was traced to one Louis Anastay, a sub-lieutenant in a regiment in the French army. Ho was arrested on Dec. 21, tried and convicted, and on Feb. 22 was condemned to On April 9. he was executed upon the guillotine.

Ouly about four months elapsed between tho perpetration of the crime and the execution ot the murderer. If such promptness in tho administration of justice were the rule iu this country, no such thing as lynch law would be heard of. But under tho rule which prevails here, of innumerable obstacles and almost interminable delay in the way of securing a judicial conviction, and then more long delay and probable pardon through political or sentimental influences, it is not remarkable that the American people are more and more distrustful of the efficiency of the legitimate instrumentalities for the security of life and rights, and when there is a crime of more than ordinary atrocity, despair of any other protection than their own prompt and' barbarous methods can give. What a contempt the Europeans must have for justice in criminal cases in the United States. THE BEHEING SEA Although the interest in.

the 'controversy between the United States and Great Britain over the Bearing Sea fisheries has greatly abated, the fact still remains that no definite of the matter has been announced. It will be remembered that the correspondence between our State Department 'and the British Foreign Office resulted in Lord Salisbury's agreein to the renewal of last year's modus Vivendi on the condition that Canadian sealers be reimbursed in the event that the proposed arbitration should decide against tho claims of the United States to exclusive jurisdiction in the disputed waters. It is presumed that as the matter has been apparently allowed to rest there, the reply of Lord Salisbury was satisfactory to the Washington authorities aud that within a short time an announcement will be made to the effect that the arrangement of last year has been renewed. In any event, the feeling of uneasiness that possibly some friction might result between the two Governments over the matter appears to have passed away entirely. This is true to such an extent that the Government has permitted a United States-cruiser on the way to Bebring Sea to put into the navy yard of the British Government at Victoria for repairs.

Everybody will hail with satisfaction an amicable settlement of the controversy, which has already lasted too long, as no one would care to see two such powerful nations go to war because of so small a matter as a seal fishery. Corporation of Thieves. Thierlnir corporation are frequently spoken of, and some people lmacine that all corporations hare as their object the more or less open robbery ot the public. Mistaken as this idea may possibly be, it appears that there Is an organization in the northwest, incorporated under the laws ot Wyoming, whose business is. open robbery.

Its business is to steal cattle from tho ranres to dispose of for a cash consideration. Its operations are naturally objected to by the raisers and owners of the stock and they have effeoted an onranliatton at considerable expense to clean out the thieves. The results so tar are sixty "rustlers" hung and many more drives into Canada. Last week a pitched battle took place near Butte. and many were killed on both sides.

Another encasement 1 is daily expected, as armed bodies are marching ou the "rustlers" from all sides. A Strained Construction of One of the most ansurd performances in the way of straining the construction of a law took place in Chicago the other day, when a sign painter and the manager of a loan association were arrested for counterfeiting and bound over for trial. The alleged Infraction of the law was the sign of the association, which represented a gigantic band holding a bonoh of SiO United States Treasury notes. The topmost note on the sign was four feet long and two and a half feet wide, and was a good representation ot the subject, with numbers and signatures complete. But nobody of the slightest common sense could for a moment consider it a counterfeit, or imajrine that the congressmen that passed the counter-felting law had any such representation ot the currency in mind.

Mormon Temple Finished-Last week the last stone was laid in plaee in the great Mormon temple which has been in course ot erection for thirty-nine years. It was a great, occasion and there was a vast throng of Mormons ot all degrees in attendance. The temple and the tabernacle stand In a meat square of forty acres in the center ot Bolt Lake City. The spot was designated by Brig-ham Young when the city was laid out. and he also drew the designs tor the building, which bare been adhered to with slight modification.

A glgantlo bronze figure of the Angel Gabriel ornaments one of the pinnacle of the temple, and a berolo bronse status of Brigham Young is to be erected within the lnolosure, Elected the Right Man. Helenwood, near the Kentucky line, has elected the right man for marshal. The plaee has long been terrorized by a gang of toughs, aud they said that if Bam Cowan was elected marshal they would kill him. He was elected, and a few da a afterward fifteen men, well loaded with whisky and pistols, rode into town to look for him. Cowan learned their intention and was on bis guard.

Just before 10 o'clock the men began shooting on Main street, when Cowan rushed out to stop tnein. He received a bullet through shouldor and anotoer through' the ear. In return he shot the leader. Bill Eykes, through the brain, fatally wounded two others and seriously injured a boy. The survivors lied.

That Lawless Garza. It is now reported from Ban Antonio that the obstreperous and Irrepressible Garza, whom the United States and Mexican armies have been bunting on both sides ot the Rio Grande, is living peaceably at San Antonio, and has been there any time during, the past year, quite ready to be arrested if the autboritiea so desire, but much more willing to be left in peace, lie says that a year ago its did a little smuggling business on the border, but that he kuows nothing about revolutions, has no acquaintance with any revolutionists and is animated by anything but au ambition to be the President of the Mexican Bepublio. Military Pay in Venezuela. It would he a pretty hard thing to persuade the etfloers and men of the United States army to serve at South American rates. It these rates are fairly represented by the schedule 'of pay reoently promulgated by tho head of the Venezuelan army.

It is as follows: For generals, l( reales (tl 60) a day, for sergeants and corporals as eents a day, and for private soldiers 30 cents a day. This Includes all aUowanoe for clothing and rations. Big Pay. Senator Carlisle has Just received a fee ot $33,000 for five days' attendance on the Kentucky Court or Appeals, at Frankfort, in the Pretton-Beall ease, decided a few days ago. The ease Involved $210,000, and the Senator had a contract with the Ickllffe heirs that he was to receive $25,000 if he won the suit, which he did.

Forty Thousand Lives Saved. A commutes ot Busalan worklngmen have expressed the opinion that the cargo ot the Indiana, the relief ship sent from Philadelphia to Libs will be tne means ot saving 40,000 lives in the famine dlstriet. It is a result that American aonors may well rejoice at. For the Sufferers by. the Fire.

Sometimes families who desire to bury their dead in the clothing worn in life in evening or wedding dress, for instance substitute less costly Imitations for the Jewelry worn In life, partly from motives of thrift and partly from a superstitious fear that anything taken off a body when it is ready for the tomb will bring ill-luck to future wearers.

Houston Post: Mr. James Whltcomb Blley has done a suffering public some service in declaring that "there is no such thing as elocution, that is, outside of tragedy." Mr. Riley is one of the most pleasing "elocutionists" now before the American public That is to he lectures, reads and recite, but without any of the supplemental attitudinizing, eyes in fire frenzy rolling, and tricks of voice meant to catch the fears of the groundlings. The world Is full of amateur elooutionists," who murder some of the best and most popular poems, and assault the speeches of great men in such a way as would make the aforesaid great men sorry they ever spoke them, or at best that they were ever preserved to be rehearsed by so-called elocutionists.
