One of tho most rcinnrknlilo features of aiodern Ktenm navigation is tho general tmlj litittition of the screw for tho paddle. In deed, the screw Kteanmr 1mm nearly driven its rivals from (ho stormy Atlantic, where tho niorits of submerged propellers and hoavy ppars are most inanifi'st, and is fast chasing lhem from more piioilic waters tho world over. Tho lVrsia. which txit fourteen years ago was Considered tho perfection of naval architect ure, was last year sold for XL V)() to ho changed from paddle to screw. Just as tho L'uuarders wero experimenting with their first Screws, tho new French lino to this country was started with paddlo ships. Ouo of them, ihe Washington, which formerly steamed ton miles nn hour with !( tons of coal per day, Las since been lit ted with screws and now .steams 11 -H miles with MH tons of coal, and tho new ships of nil Atlantic lines aro invari ftbly propelled by screws. Tho greater economy of tho screw ship Withagiwu speed and load, or her great or speed with tho samo fuel, are not duo en tirely to tho fact that tho efficiency of her tiropellers as compared with that o paddlo wheels is less impaired by the rolling of the vessel not entirely to the fact that tho screw steamer, by reason of the submersion of her propeller, and its independence of tho rolling of tho ship, can carry more canvas and can sail on her beam ends as well as on an even keel, as far ns applying the engine iiower is concerned. Nor does the superiority of the screw ship lie entirely in her greater capacity for stowage, by reason of the greater c ompactness of her engines, nor yet m the improvement of her machinery for generating, Superheating, distributing, and condensing Steam, since all these may apply equally to tho paddlo steamer. One of the notable dill'erences between the tiew practice and the old, both in ships and locomotives, is the hbjh ied ' juxhrn adopted in modem engines. The paddlo engine is a great lumbering, heavy machine, moving at the moderate spued suited to the paddle-wheel. The screw engine is compact, light, and lively, and it pull the. fn.W: tr!.r demanded bv the screw. A horse power is ;;;!,0(l pounds lifted olio foot in a minute, or one pound lilted : 1,1 ft'1-' in a minute. Now, tho paddle-steamer principle carried to excess would illustrate this law by ".','".' around the :;.!,(mh pound weight, and lifting it a foot, while the screw steamer would be burdened only wi;h tho one pound, which it would lift :i:;,(MM feet. The total power is the same, but while, in the one instance, a largo percentage of it is neutralized in carry ing itself in carrying the cumbrous enginery by which its great force works through a small space, in tho other instance, the enginery is small and light, because it has only to transfer a small force through a great Space, and speed does not weigh anything. There are many illustrations of this law in practice. Tho old stylo of locomotives with immense driving wheels, big cylinders, aud ponderous parts, has given place to light moving parts, small drivers, and quick stroke. A small cotton cord running at sixty miles an hour through a machine shop does the work of numbrouti cranes crawling a few feet a minute. This engineering law and these illustra tions establish the correctness of tho quick stroke adopted by the Harvard oarsmen as compared with tho long, slow, beam-engino stroke of their opponents. Speed is an ele ment of power that weighs nothing. If some element that is ponderous is substituted for it, a part of tho total power is lost in tho machine itself. The Herald, in a late article on tho inter national race, propounds a mechanical theory of tho quick stroke, which we commend to the consideration of learned bodies. Says ihe Herald: "Tlie oflencr the oar falls Into the water with a pull the faster wiii Ihe boat lie propelled. It is on this principle that, the blades of the steamboat wheel have been multiplied, and placed six inches apart, instead of three leet, as formerly." Although this illustration does not apply to tho case in hand, it is very correct, except that, ns a matter of fact and practice, tho lloats of steamboat wheels are placed four to six feet apart instead of six inches, because, if placed at six inches the slip would bo ex cessive tho wheel would roll in the water like a barrel without taking hold, and the vessel would hardly move at all. We hope the Karvards' practico will noL illustrate tho Herald's theory. miNCE ARTHUR IN CANADA. from the A'. Y. MWM. Thn reception given to tho third living scion of tho House of Brunswick in the colo nial possessions of his mother, do not seom to bear out the notion which tho Canadian press and tho Canadian orators are so anxious to inculcate into tho American mind of tho boundless and exuberant loyalty which flour ishes as scarcely any other growth does among those singular populations. It is the more extraordinary that this royal youth should not have been wept and slob bered over far more profusely than ho has hitherto been, since Canada has been crying out ever since her erection into a dominion for a viceroy if sho remained iu tho condition of a dominion, or a king in case it suited the metropolis aud the colony alike to make the latter u kingdom. In ease her fervent prayers in that behalf wero granted, there is no more likely person to bo chosen the in cumbent of her vice-regal or her regal throne than the youth who now oilers himself to tho Canadians for their immediate hospitalities and possibly their ultimate suffrages. Tho I'rinco of Y ides, eldest hope of that hopeful house, is, of course, predestined, lie lias a previous engagement with a higher throno than Canada cuii offer. It is almost equally unlikely that tho Duke of Edinburgh could be prevailed upon to accept any eolumal post, or that the exigencies of the parent State, as interpreted by Downing street, would allow him to if ho could. J!ut rather than that Canada should remain in her present acepha lous condition, l'rince Arthur probably could and would bo spared to her. 1'et his arrival within her borders is not hailed with half the enthusiasm which greeted cither of his liwithers. Tho present l'rince is, besides, a more re futable votith. so far us is known to common fame, lhnn either of his brothers If not native goodness, tho ingenuousness of youth has for bidden him to figure, liKe me i nuce oi vuies, in the ehuructor of a person who "insists upon playing cards for money, always exacts what ho wins, and never pays what ho loses." This description, bv the wav. of the English potentate's manner of conducting a great gift enterprise may furnish a hint to our Aine licua potentate, who less wise or more honest than his English analogue, who von- I itself? And even if the insurrection should turos nothing does roally give the valua- be quelled, Spain would find herself incnin ble consideration of seats in his Cabinet, bered with a devastated and impoverished and other lucrative places of trust, in ex- , change for horses, houses, and cigars. Neithor has l'rince Arthur attained to the fulness of the stature of his mother's second son, tho Duke of Edinburgh, of whom wo hoar, on mo excellent authority of the Pall Mall Gazette, that he has the "cheek" to send in bills to Parliament, to tho extent of thirty-fivo hun dred and odd pounds sterling, for tho presents which ho dispensed during his sojourn in Australia, Tho worst we hear of Prince Arthur is thut once in Switzerland ho indulged himself in tho rather indecorous, but not grossly flagitious, pastime of taking shies at the e'hi(iaiit, of a female fellow-being with hailstones, and pleaded with his tutor for a cojitinuanco of the sport on tho ground that he had just got tho range. 15ut these indis cretions of his salad days ought not to weigh against him now, and it is not probable that they do. Tho fact is that princes aro no longer rari ties to tho Canadian vision. Tho much ado about a Prince of Wales was a tribute as much to his novelty as his station or his aptitude for tilling it; and so far as it may be supposed that tho last consideration entered into it, those who helped to make it havo subse quently seen tho unwisdom of their course, and refrain from any special fervor of demon stration at the coming of a callow strippling like Prince Arthur. They prefer waiting to see whether or not ho will turn out to bo "a thing to thank Clod on" or not. Tho Ameri can temper is similar. If Prince- Arthur chooses to come to us, it is not likely that we shall bottlo tho water consecrated by use in his sacred toilet, nor that tho floor of tho Academy will trivo way under the crowd which assembles at the Academy to give him a ball. THE niOPOSED LABOR PARTY. From the X. Y. Suit. That tho members of tho Labor Conven tiou just held in Philadelphia, acted wisely in tloclining to adopt tho proposition ot Mr. Helper to form a political party based dis tinctively on tho interests ot wokingmen and opposed to those of capitalists, admits, we think, of little doubt. Nothing but tho exlremest necessity, such as would justify a revolution, should induce the taking of such a step. In a country like this, especially where all tho avenues to wealth and honor stand open to every one alike, it is as unwise as it is wicked to attempt to foment dissen sions and discord between employers and the employed. Iheir political interests aro not antagonistic, but identical, aud whichever class seeks to legislate against the other, by that very course injures itself. We trust that the day is far distant when tho vorkingmen of the United States will need to band to gether in political array in order to obtain tho rights to which they are lastly entitled, and wo are quite sure that they will not un dertake the task for any meaner object. Tho assumption is constantly made in the discussion of questions connected with tho subject of labor, and too often yielded by tho friends of tho workingmen, and even by the workmgmen themsohes, that they do, in fact occupy an inferior position in society. There is a widespread notion the legacy of bygone ages of ignorance and mistake that all labor is a curse, and that kind ot labor most so o all which deals with material substances. In spite of our democratic talk, nine-tenths o our people are fixed in tho belief that to live iu idleness and havo somebody elso do tho necessary work of the world is better than to work oneself. Every man almost is anxious to accumulate money enough to live on tho income of it which means that other people shall take and use tho property that he will not and cannot use himself, and pay him enough for his expenses and even his luxu ries, besides returning to him or to his chil dren the property itself intact. This idea developed itself most fully in the Southern States in negro slavery. White men there were too proud and too lazy to handle a me chanic's tools or the implements of husbandry, but left all that sort of thing to their bond slaves. Here at the North we had no slaves, but we had and still have a great deal too much of the slavish idea of work. This false assumption the workingmen must themselves aid in overthrowing by their own efforts, lhey must not admit, or allow any one to admit on their behalf, that they deserve sympathy or compassion, or are in any way objects of pity, because they earn their living by the sweat of their brows. Tho capitalist who employs them should in no manner be dealt with or spoken of otherwise than as an equal, and neither enviod nor hated because he does not himself put his hand to tho tasks they aro engaged in. Thut they do not associate with him uud his family ...l i. i f .i wuen men woik is none is no prooi oi social, much less ot political inequality. Every iimn has a right to choose his own company, and it is proper for the mechanic to take it for granted that his employer keeps aloof from him as much from a sense of in feriority or unworthiness, as for the contrary reason. the tnno is rapidly approaching wnen mere will be no ground lor even a sus picion of contempt on either side on this ae count, and when the question will not be asked in social circles whether a man makes goods or sells them, or whether his work deals with bricks and wood and metal, or with pen mm ion. aim paper; wnciner no comes t : i i . i , from the workshop, the counting-room, tho studio, tho sick room, or the court house lint the advent of that time would be trrcatlv retarded if workingmen were to array them selves in a hostile altitude to the rest of the body politic, and openly proclaim that they were a caste by themselves. Their true course is to break down and obliterate as much ns possible tho distinction between themselves and other men, and not make it permanent. Let them show the nobility of soul which they really possess by thei'r industry, their virtue, and their patriotism, and they need not trouble themselves with the fear that they may be trodden under foot because they cannot make and unmake tho fortunes of political candidates. SPAIN AND CI BA. From the X. Y. Tribune. "We have no fiivllicr information of special value respecting (he rumored treaty for tlio cession of Cuba, luit the French and English papers discuss the project with so much eagerness und such decided approval that wo can hardly doubt Spanish ngeuts have been manufacturing opinion favorable to this short and easy nu thod of solving tho Cuban problem. The authority of the mother coun try has been so thoroughly undermined in her chief colony that it would fall to pieces if tho insurrection were only a little better orga nized, and it must be clear even to Spanish pride that the Spanish troops are losing ground every day. What hope can they have of reducing tho island to obedience when they cannot even maintain a Captain-General in security, and tho party which professes allegiance to the mother country is auxious to keep the government out of the hands of (JueHuda ouly because it covets power for island, no longer capable of yielding tho rich iniMno it nun pimi iier in past years, nm com ing, on me contrary, large sums for the sup port of a military government. In this di lemma wo can easily understand how trie proposals said to have been made through the nnoncv of Mr. Forbes should be received with downright grati tude. Tho chief points of tho scheme aro mat culm siinll buy herself of Spam tor tlio sum of $100,1 :)I),IMM in bonds guaranteed by tho United States, we of course taking ft mort gage upon tho sovereignty of tho island as security. This bears a suspicious appearance of annexation, but it saves Spain tho humi- e ..r -i p . i . ,- i inuiuu in couiesNiug ii ueteat, and relieves ner distressed treasury of a very serious burden. She will never get anything out of Cuba again, except what sho may realize by tho sale ot tier rights ot sovereignty, such as they are; and her statesmen seem to be fully aware that the longer they wait tho more unsalable those rights will become. Whether tho bar gain would be a good one, either for Cuba or for us. is another matter altogether. WATCHES, JEWELRY, ETC. 'JE.W1S LADOIYIUS & CO, WATdlKS, JF.IVF.I.KV 8II,VFa WAKK. JJ .
