-rjjeopening of th^' ironclad market of^ttueric* now ^PP***rs to * fixed fact,^nd iiuotati^n*on these ^peax^s keepers^^*f tn^* world must soon take place as a^^ fular order in the course of trade.^^ Th^ regular value of thU class of raer-^.handi*e, ^l present in the hands of the^I nited States Government, may be of
terestto our readers, and we accor-^ugjrly shall attempt to put a value on^.hem. ^^ tDeV are now understood to be^',jffred for sale, all of which must be^'^ed upon the quality of the material,^tTle. builder, capacity for guns and
mdstores,
alsodraft of water, etc
Monitor will, of course, command the^K: jhe*t prices, and the casemated ves-^^ must be classed second in value,^^he latter, the Government has sold It^ngaterberg. The Japanese Commis^^sioners have purchased the prize Stone-^wall for $400.000,just as she stands,and^n^yal officer is to take her to Japan for^them. Should the Japanese purchase^^he Atlanta and Tennessee, the stock of^^foil class will be well nigh exhausted,^^nd leave only the Columbia, Nashville,^and Albemarle finished, and the Texas^anfinished.
Tin-Onondaga has been purchased by^\(r. Quintard for $y^5,000. to be sold to^, triendlv power. She is fitted up at a^,,^t of $200,000. In a reflective point of^vjea the moral influence of the sale of^lUr monitors may indeed induce nations^^o keej^ at peace who would otherwise^iv dabbling in war upon a flimsy pre^^text and upon all occasi ^ns.
Thelovers of peace will hail with^^.leasure this happy result devoutly^wished f^r by them. And again, it will^be a pleasant sensation to the holders of^^fovernment securities to know that^:heir respected Uncle Samuel has on^hand, and is willing to sell for good^pri^v^^. all the ironclads^an article^which thev supposed was useless, and^was fast becoming of no value, they sud-^if-nly see a great demand lor them, and^that the first powers of the world beg to^m them. Such is life ; and with colla^^teral securities like these certainly Uni-^-.1 States bonds abroad should be quoted^^t an advance.
Weshould have lorty monitors for^...... r .v from $500,000' to f2.000,000.
irnnocashonly, or its equivalent in good^lerritory.
Supposewe make an exhibit of our^iron da.', navy, showing a list of those^t^^r sale, and of those to In- reserved un^^til we build better.

tionhas been, the difference is far less^marked than it would have been if there^had been no Fenian agitation during^ISrW^the agitation of the country and^the depressed condition of industry do^^ing much to drive into exile many who^otherwise would have remained at home.^Another remarkable change has taken^place in connection with the emigration^of the last ten years, in the substitution^of steamships for sailing vessels in the^transportation of passengers^a change^not so remarkable in the mere fact as in^its sweeping character. In 1^57,164,650^emigrants were brought to this port in^588 sailing vessels, and 20,226 in 69^steamers. In 1866, 75,088 arrived in 327^sailing vessels and 160,653 in 341 steam^^ers. The advantages to the emigrant^by this change are many^among them^gain of time, less risk from the accidents^of the sea in consequence of comparative^shortness of the passage, more space and^better care.

PatrioticSentiment at the Paris^Exposition.^*' Malakoff,^ the Paris cor^^respondent of the New York Times, thus^speaks of a memorial of the great war^of the rebelflon:
May a man who has had the misfor^^tune to live many years away from his^uative country be indulged in a little^sentiment^ Yon who have been actors^in the exciting years of the civil war.^who have been over head and ears in the \^events of that terrible period, are, it may^be. blunted in your susceptibilities, and^may not exactly appreciate what 1 am!^going to say. But as I walked through !^the annex of the American department. ;^admiring the magnificent samples of'^agricultural and other implements, I^stum Med suddenly upon a plain wagon,^all rusty and bruised, but yet solid and^capable, and I naturally said to myself, i^^ Why, how could they have been so:^careless as to leave this old wagon in the |^Exhibition among these handsome and^shiny things I' But as I looked at it^closer I saw to my surprise the follow^^ing inscription : ' This wagon, after ma^king the campaigns of the Potomac, was i^transferred to Nashville, Tennessee, and^made the campaigns to Chattanooga, j^Atlanta, and through with Sherman to ,^tike MAI1 Brave old invalid! I thank j^the man that sent you here! I thank^him for this moment of deep and genu -!^ine patriotic emotion. For ten minutes;^I could not take my eyes from that silent!^hut shaking remnant of the great strug- j^gle. Its magnificent neighbors. McC/or- j^mick^s reaper, Grant's locomotive, Ste^^venson's street car, were all forgotten^and no longer dazzled the eyes. The^owner of it sent it here to show its supe^^riority ^^f construction; to me it told^quite another tale. 1 could not enter;^into his motives at all. To him it was'^a mere machine, showing the excellence'^of his workmanship; to me it was a^]^oeiu. In its battered rides and rusty^irons I could read the advances and re- i^treats, the long marches, the difficult]^passes, the swamps, the corduroy roads,'^the swift running rivers, the entangle^^ment of the battle field, the carnage of^battle ! To me, it told of the sufferings^of our brave boys struggling for the dear^old flag; it told of their toilsome^man-lies, of their fatigues, their endu ^^ranee, their bravery, and finally, of their^glorious success ! Tough old wagon !^How strangely you look in this far dis-^taur laud, surrounded by the magnifi-^o nce of all the earth, and passed by with^indifference by the crowd as something ;^left by accident in the place you occupy !

rs9M93W9SOKFakadT, the most t-ini^nent of the living scientific men of Eng^^land, is said to be of the opinion that the^natural a*;e of man is one hundred years .^The duration of life he believes to l^e^measured by the time of growth. When)^once the bon^-s and epiphyses are united I^I9M body grows no more, and it is at!^twenty J9B91 that this union is etlecled^in man. In the camel, it takes place at;^eight; in the horse, at five: in the lion, j^at four; in the dog. at two, and in the i^rabbit at one. The natural termination^of lite is five remove^ from these several^p- in's. M.tn being twenty years in grow-^ing, lives five times twenty years^that^is, one hundred ; the camel is eight years^in growing, and lives five times eight;^yeare^that is to say, forty years; the^horse is five years in growing, and he'^lives twenty-five years, and so with other (^animals. The man who does not die of;^sickness lives everywhere from eighty [^to one hundred years. Providence hasj^given to man a century of life, but he |^does not attain it because he inherits dis-1^eases, eats unwholesome food, gives li-!^irr.H' to passions, and permits vexations'^to disturb his healthy equipoise ; he does i^not die^he kills himself. He divides!^life into two eipual halves^growth and ;^decline : and these halves into infancy, ^^youth, virility'and age. Infancy extends^to the twentieth year; youth to the fif^^th th, because it is during this period^that the tissues become firm; virility j^lr^i!i fifty to seventy-five, during which I^the organism remains complete; and at^seventy-five, old age commences, to last]^longer or shorter time, as the diminu^^tion of reserved forces is hastened orj^retarded. Whether the great Professor1^^ ^ ho is now, though in his seventy- i^fourth year, still in the full maturity ofj^bodily and mental vigor^will live to^giv*s practical proof of his favorite the-1^ory, ^ by labor, study, moderation and !^sobriety,^ remains for another genera^^te ^n to see.
