A San Antonia, Texas, despatch of Thursday says: Since yesterday the City Chris has issued licenses, in accordance wizhanew ordinance. to proprietors of gambling establishments and keepers of housw of prostitution and inmates of the lam-er. The fee-s thus far aggregate. $7,000, and not more than a third of the persons nquired to secure such licenses have yet done so. District Attorney Paschall declares he will prosecute all parties pro-‘ curing such licenses, despite the city ordinance, which will cause a conflict between the city and Blaze oflioisls. A woman who a. few days ago paid $250 to the city {or the privilege of conducting a. house of prestitution for six months was to-dny arrested by a. deputy sheriff and fined $100 : by Justice MaAlister.

Estimates of the number of partridges killed are somewhat difliuult to form, as thalaud which provides the birds is not like the grouse mJors, separately held and rented. In Great Britain, taking the aver age of recent shooting: as a guide, it may be assumed that 400,000 partridges will be shot, and, counting them over- head at the modest price of a shilling each, the money value represented Will touch 300000 pounds. A clew to the phea- sant supply is less difiieult to obtain. on account of the fact that the bird is exten- sively bred on what may be called “ artifi- cial lines." In other words, tens of thon- sauds of pheasants are hatched every year by barn~door iowls. the egg-'4 being put- cuased from persons who make it their business to supply them in large quanti- ties. having avmries for the purpme. On some estates there is also a very great num- ber of wild birds, which, being carefully watched during the breeding Season, yield aconaiderable crop 0! ct ioks. Taking it for granted. therefore, that half a million of these birds are annually consumed, at a nest of half a crown each, the total sum expended will amount to 62,500 pounds, and it is not too much to say that those who supply the birds will sell them to the wholesale dealers at considerably less than they cost.

Our Government is. on the other hand,building a formidable vessel not a cruiser. but what Secretary Tracy calls a battle ship. These ships are types of their respective classes. Being each, it may be well to compare their respectiva dimensions. The Blake is 375 feet long by 65 beam. The Maine is 310 feet long by 57 feet beam. The Blake’s displacement is 9 000 and the Maine’s 6,648 tons. The Blake’s horse- power is 13,000 for twelve consecutive hours. her speed 191, to 20 knots; the‘ Msi1:e‘s,8.750 horse power for four hours, her speed 17 knots. On the other hand, the Maine is an armored ship, to the ex- tent of 180 feet of her respective sides, leav- ing 130 feet thereof expoeed to fire ; while . the Blake has an oval steel roof of six inches thick running her extreme length. The Maine's armament consists of four 10 inch guns in turrets and six ordinary 6-inch guns, While the Blake's is comprised in two 9.2-inch guns and six quick-firing eons. But it is to the rs‘spectlve cost of has two vessels to which we desire to draw special attention. While. even to the ordinary observer, the superiority of the Blake as a fighting ship is evident, the i‘ifiurence in the cost of the two VesSels is something marvelous. While the hull and machinery of the Blake coat a trifle over $1,000,000 the hull and machinery of the Maine are estimated to run upjo close upon $2,500,0001 And yet the Blake being able to outsail the Maine by three knots an hour. she can do her distance and d--etroy her at will.

In the rush and whirl of life in the cities it seems as if the old, slow ways of build- ing up a comfortable fortune would be for- gotten. But, though everything also changes, human nature remains about the same. says the Country Gentleman. Radical differences of disposition and habit will never be wiped out. However severely we may be shaken up together. we shall never be all alike. Forethought and care and responsibility will still govern some natures, be their capacities more or less dew-loped; in others salt-assertion. sell- indnlgence, immediate enjoyment will be the chief objects. even when many admira- hle acquirements are at their command. No one who has any experience can doubt that money is one of the great practical forces of all organized society. The poor boy who resolves to “ make money " is not necessarily mercenary in his spirit or low in his aims. To gain a foothold by the ownership of property is simply one step on the road to success. That gained.he has gained a great lever. Every energetic, aspiring American boy may rightly and naturally look forward to the accumula‘ tion of property. But to wish for money, to seek it, or to use it in a selfish, base spirit, to make it in itself the first and most important object of life. is con- temptihle and degraded manhood. Think about making money then; think about it earnestly and with a find determination :to do it; but think quite as seriously at } other and higher things to be done. â€"Tenoher, after reading aloud the story of Jonah and the whaleâ€"" And now my littls men. can you tell me who fell into the sea?"
