The word " foundered " has just been
written after the names of tw6 new iron
ships, and tho families and friends of
sixty men on board speak of them as
dead. From New York two steamers,
the Tellord for Antwerp, and tho Joseph
Pease for Cette, sailed down the bay to
gether, and the last good-bye was given
by he pilots as they quitted the ships.

KentuckyJKilUng her Convicts.
The report of the prison sanitary
committee was made to the Kentucky
Legislature, on the condition-of the pen
iteatkry. It describes a dcplomble
state of affairs. The committee finds
that there are eight convicts confined
there who positively cannot live longer
than a few months. There are at least
60 others, spme ot whom are confined to
their beds, who, in all probability, can
not live longer than the -latter "part of
this Spring, and. jabout two hundred
others who an in a state of debility and
weakness practically unfitting them for
duty or work The remainder tf the
convicts do-not present a healthy ap
pearance and seem affected by the in
jurious influences which have prostrated
the others. The causes of this state of
affiurs are found. by the committee to be
numerous. The penitentiary grounds
are badly drained and Ahe sewerage is so
defective that in damp weather water
stands in portions of the enclosure from
which arises & malaria, rendering the air
impure. The yards, cells and workshops
are overcrowded and the accumulation
of filth and general lack of cleanliness
within the prison contribute to the gen
eration of disease. There is a general
lack of ventilation in the system and
construction of the houses and cells.
The committee expresses tho opinion
that one of the direct causes of the un
heal thiness of the convicts is due to their
sot being supplied with a. snificient va
riety of wholesome food. N Y. Times.

Italy's Sick Queen.
Tho poor Queen is suffering from ner
vous exhaustion. Tho least excitement
makes her faint A fortnight or so ago,
when General Cialdini returned from
Madrid Jus wont JlJflrjlighcrra to re
port the wedding gatetics to her Ma-
Ijosty. Ho was received in herHtling-
rooni, where she lay on a sofa, the mere
shadow of her former self. She listened
at first with something liko the old in
terest in gay life. Suddenly she ex
claimed: '"1 cannot tell what is the mat
tor with me. Everything is whirling
around before mo 1"
The General was in great consterna
tion as may well bo imagined. He
could not leave the room, as Court eii
quotte requires a dismissal to a visitor
from royalty. The March cso and
Marcbcsn Yilauiarina, who are the chief
officials in tho Queen's household,- in
stantly assisted her Majesty and mo
tioned the General to go. As he left ho
saw that tho poor little Queen was in a
dead faint The doctors say there is no
disease ; her lungs are not vet affected ;

Queen has never recovered tho shock she
received at the period of the attempted
assassination of the King, a vear ago
last Autumn. A gay, brilliant Winter
followed that startling event, and her
Majesty was constantly excited, and
kept up tho pleasant duties of a Court
season. This Summer, while in North
Italy, she was imprudent in making
mountain excursions, and at one time
enterei a grotto near Milan, where she
got her feet wet and took xUl. A ma
larial fever followed : the fevor was
cured, but it left her in this frightfully
depressed state of bodv and spirits. It
is a matter of time and patience, her
advisers say. She has youth on her
side, but a weak constitution, and the
apprehension in that her illness may end
in a 'rapid consumption. The Queen
was 2c- this November. She is popular,
has gentle
manners, and a fair in
perfect lv fitted in her
tellirence :

.deany, and whom he was lackily always
ready to caress and entertain. A gen
tleman who was the head of the Prince's
household, and who died Kaddcmlr it
a few years ago, told a friend of mine
that these evening visits of the Princess
accompanied by her Son, which she al-
ways made of her own free will, were
the" salvation of-their married life.
Their marriage was not from leve, but
for State reasons; in childhood the
young cousins never cared for each
other; but once a wife, the young
Princess felt all the responsibility and
dignity of her position, even young as
she was, and she determined upon keep-

novel" they bad all been reading. A
friend of mine was present The ladies
differed in opinion as to the love story
of the novel They appealed to the
Princess Marguerite, as she was then.
Ah. ladies, she answered. "1 am not
able to judge ; a woman in my position
know anything about that which is
called Jove." And then she lightlv
turned the conversation upon other
points in the book. It is a pitv that
psne cannot Jive to enjoy the comfort of
the nappy married life which she has so
fairly earned. The King, it is said,
shows mu;h feeling about her illness.
Last Thursday news came that she had
several fainting fita, with slight convul
sions, in Hucccision. His Majesty wa
very much agitated, and would have
gone instantly to Bordighcrra if he'could
have done so : but a hunting party was
appointed for the next day a Castel

it off and alarm the public ; this could
only be done when the Queen's condi

Our Navy; Its Wealmesa
Representative Harris bill author
izes the Secretary of the Navj to cause
to bo made a thorough inspection of alt
vessels in the navy and all stores and
materials, und'to sell such as are pn
nounced uiifcaworthy. Tho bill pro
vides for" tho establishment of a perma
nent construction fund of tho navy,
which shall comprise appropriations,
made therefor fiom time to timo by
Congress, and tho proceeds arising from,,
tho solo of old, condemned vessels of tho
navy, and condemned materials, stores
and supplies, which fund shall bo used
and expended by the Secretary of the
Navy in the construction armament and
equipment of new naval vessels, and for
oo other purpose. The bill further au
thorizes theSecietary to except nyxleln,
plans, etc, for vessels, engines, machin
ery, armament, eta, from any and all
sources, and to determine what sum
shall bo iid for the same. A report
written by Representative Harris to
accomiauy the bill, was alw unani
mously adopted, and will be presented.
It first sets forth the results of a care
ful investigation made by tho committed
to ascertain the present condition, char
acter, usefulness and capait)for war
liko purposes of each vessel named in
the navy register. In conclusion, their
detailed analysis of tho 142 vrsseLt of
our navy, "so-called," the committee
bring th results into tabular form,
to show, as they say, what -i-'Mis-solving
view "our navy presents.
The report continues : " Here are forty
ciht vessel and more belonging to
tho navy to-day incapable of firing a
gua, and of theae five are obsolete sail
ing vessels. If to these we were to add
the eleven strain vessels repairing or
awaiting rejuirs, tin six iron-dads re
pairing or awaiting retain, the three
steam vessels on ordinary, and the one
unfinished second rate steam vessel, and1
assume that they can all be made fit for
duty, the whole navy of the United
States would, at a.y one tiioe, number
only sixty-nine vessels capable of carry
ing guns and doing naval duty. Sacs
an assumption, however will not be
made by a man of ordinary judgment
This is the whole of the "navy-of the
United States, so tar as it relates to
fighting voasds. The fie4 nay be dis
agreeable to coatea4ate and humiliat
ing to American pride In presUg
it, however, we bet discharge a daty w
owe to the House and the jwople. The
remedy and responsibility are not with
the committee. Bat we are weak ia
gaas as well as .. W't have less
than 250 guru afieat ia oer entire mvy,
and of these lea tkaa 40 are riii (a
few S inch, a few lOO-pouaderi aad a
fe- GO-pounders) ; all the ret are aati
qaated aad smalt bom. At the open
i&g of the late war the ships aad the
guns of the American aavy were eqaal
to those of aay other na'tioa. When
the Monitor aad Merriraae rat aad
startled the work! with their coaiict,
in which thick armor becaate for the
first time an overmatch for heavy gaas,
the other nations otHaaieaced to solve
the great problem of naval warfare.
While they have bn speadtag large
sums of money aad making experiments
in all directions, we have rested aad
waited until now the power of the gaas
has outrun the resisting power sf arasor.
We want a navy capable of protecting
our commerce on all seas, ef defending
oer on border from invasion and of
destroying the commerce and sca-goiag
cruisers of aay nation which may make
war with uu To do the first, we should
put our ironclad fleet in a condition of
the greatest cfSeiency, and should de
velop the torpedo system to its fall ex
tent With our ironclad fleet in coadi-
iion for coast and harbor defense aad
our torpedo system perfected, 45,000,000
Americans may defy all danger of for
eign invasion. But we shoakl be able
to meet and beat off an invader f-ow
our shores, but also to extort from aa
enemy terms of honorable peace by aa
ggresstve war upon the high seas.
The late war has taught how maoh
harm a few fait ships, gallantly com
manded, can do upon the high sea. and
tiie Jesson should not 1-e lost upon us.
In the opinion of the committee, the
time has arrived when it is the nation's
duty to,begin the construction of a new
navy. In any future wais with Euro
pean nations we muni fight upon the
seas or nowhere. The committee do
not recommend the expenditure of large
sums -with a view of perfecting such a
navy this year or nxt, but to commence
the construction of three or four vceels
each year, and to keep constantly cm
ployed a regular force of skilled mechan
ics, to employ the bet skill in naval ar
chitecture, in engineering and gunnery,
and to settle upon the best systems and
methods. Before commencing upon a
new navy, the committee recommend
the thorough overhauling and weeding
out and sale of vessels, materials, stores
and armament which are sutynmttatl

Overdoing tho Pension Business.
Unless some of our patriotic senators
and representatives aro more discreet in
thoir appropriations of the public money
.U'SUPCnsioa business neeirn likely to
break down of iti own weight Tho
rato of appropriations for' pensions is
sufficiently onerous already, and yet is
rapidly increasing every year. Tho in
crease in tho amount appropriated for
the fiscal voir ending Juno 30, 1881, is
&,QZ$flQ) over tht for tho present
year. At the end of tho present fiscal
year the commissioner of pensions esti
mates that thero will bo 250,000 appli
cations for pensions pending and unacted
upon. The pensioners upon the rolls
to-day number 241,755, so that tho ap
plicanta orcn yet outnumber tho actual
beneficiaries. The pension roll was in
creased by 18,757 names during the
fiscal year ended Juno 30, 1879, and at
tho same rato for next year it will bo
increased between 30,000 and 40,000
names, even without new legislation to
increase it As Senator Davis of Vcst
Virginia has said, "Within the next de
cade, if the same rate of increase con
tinues, the pension roll will bo doubled,
and it will require from $C0,000,006 to
,550,000,000 annually to bo appropri
ated for pensions. " It is submitted that
this is offering to large a premium for
fighting. We now spend more money
for pensions every year than wo spent
for the entire annual expenses of the
government during the first fifty years of
our existence, including tho cost of tie
war of 1812. The appropriation for
pensions for the single xw 1SS1 covers
more money than toe entire revolution
ory pension roll from first to last Be
tween 1791 and 1SC0 the total appropri
ations for jx-nsion account were $75,
602,925 01. Between 1791 and l!33
the same aproriations aggregated
$27,69,131 51. In the but eight
years w have paid $234,169,522 42 for
peasioas, Wing more by $13,000,000
than m aid in all the previous years
ia oer history up to loTQ. The'pty--aseals
for pensions now amount to 15
per ctHit. of the entire revenue of the
Government, aad the rate must ncces.'u
rily iacreote as the roll dooa. It is the
duty of every such Government as ours,
to be fair aad liberal to its citizen sol
diers, to reward them bandnomely, and
to sec tha'. no one disabled in any way
ia iu service saner any privations in
cooAwjeenee. But at the same time the
deare to do full justice to our pension
ers shoakl not lead legislators into there
by doiag wjevtice to the body of the
peofd, the tax -pajers aad bread-winners
of the coon try! These must be
considered in aay event, since their prof
