Joseph \V. Giiviin , In Drakes' Mngn-
nine for September : The Brooklyn
navy navy yard is a town in itself , mid
occupies wluit are now the most fertile
plains In the "City of Churches , " front-
lug Flushing avonuo. and extending in
a curve along the windings of the Wal
labout. basin. It has an importance
lunong naval stations .sucli as might bo
inferred from Us position at the com
mercial center of the now world. Its
first utilization as a ship-yard dales a *
far back as 1781 , when John Jackson ,
nn a'mateur whinbuUder , established a
dock there and begun the con
struction of Hiimll Hailing vesiols. The
llrst frigate builtat the yard win the ill-
fated John Adams , named after the second
end president , which rendered valuable
Hcrvices during the war of ISllMl.
Long before that time , however , the at
tention of the government was called
to the Wallabout Basin as a good loca
tion for a llrst-class navy yard , owning
to its nearness to Now Vorlc , then the
Federal capital , and its line water facil
ities.
Negotiations for its purchase were
closed on February 7 , 1801 , and on that
'date the government became the owner
of the site for $ -10,001) ) . The place was
then leased until IS l , when Samuel L.
Southard , who was secretary of the
navy under President Monroe , made a
report suggesting the propriety of a
iiavy yard in Brooklyn. Few improve-
inonts wore made until the year 1818 ,
when the property bounded on the wa
ter side by low water mark , and on the
city side by Flushing avenue , was pur
chased for $28-3,000. Additonn were
made from time to time , the last oc-
cui'ring in 1.807 , when the land
lying at the foot of Little
Btreot was purchased from William
Rugglcs for W0,000.
The ollieial record allows that the ap
propriations made for the improvement
of the yard from 1801 up to a few years
ago wore $11,000,000.
At the time of the purchabo of these
eroundsthoy wore allwith the exception
of the ftito upon which now stands the
admiral's house , nothing but swamps
and morasses. High water tfien reached
ns high as the building which is now
known ns the provision and clothing
store. It was in front of this navy yard
and along Wallabout Basin that the
revolutionary war ships of both coun-1
trica wore moored. Within Us walls
wore interred the patriots who fell vic
tims to British cruelty on the prison
ship Jersey. The whole ground now
occupied by the machine and ship
houses WUH literally studded with
graves , the interments being mtido so
carelessly that the bones wore often
washed out. The site of the present
Bliio house , which forms a subject for
illustration , is the spot where the Jor-
poy was then anchored. As late as the
fall of 1878workmen who wore engaged
in digging an excavation within a few
yards of the ship house dug up two
skeletons in good preservation ,
'which wore afterward rointorred in
Fort Greene cemetery by the naval
authorities.
The yard is enclosed by a boarded
fence some ten foot high , which has a
history of its own. During the course
< of its erection in 1827 , the residents of
that part of the city adjoining it
claimed that the promoters of this en
terprise encroached on private prop-
'erty. ' Bitter and frequent quarrels ,
and' occasional representations to the
government of the injustice of the
'fence as it concerned the people , cul-
'minatcd ' in a riot , during the progress
iDf which the services of the marines
were called into requisition. Happily
polives wore lost , and the claims of
ynclo Ham wore finally recognized.
Here , within a short walk of the for-
Tles , and on the water front , is a great
district which contains the various ma
chine shops required in building and
repairing vessels , a largo and costly
'dry dock , huge sheds to cover raen-of-
'war in process of construction , lumber
Varohousos , costly foundries , several
marine railways , barracks , otHcers'
quarters , and storage for immense
"quantities of munitions of war.
' The main entrance is on York street ,
'and directly at the right of the gato-
iray is located the guard room. A pass
'signed ' by the officer of the guard is all
'that is required to obtain an entrance ;
but the visitor is confronted at all
times and places by a marine , and if
Ills explanation is not batlsfactorythere
is very little chance of his going any
further.
" Upon a hill a little to the
eastward of the yard is the
United States marine hospital , for the
* care of sick and disabled seamen.
It is a largo throe btory building , with
white marble facings , and presents a
line architectural appearance. On the
extreme loft of the guard room , also on
an eminence , is the residence of the ad
miral or commandant of the yard , and
in front of this magnificent building
may bo always found the guardian in
liluo , pacing to and fro between lines of
cannon.
In the rear of the Marino hospital is
'n small but neatly arranged graveyard ,
which olTora a quiet resting place to
Ihoao who have died in the hospital.
The number interred there cannot be
ascertained ; indeed , little or no information
mation can bo obtained there , the olll-
cors , with few exceptions , being
Btrangors , or transferred thither for the
benollt of their health. Adjoining the
cemetery is a laboratory for the manu
facture of medicines for the navy. It
is the only one of its kind possessed by
the government , and is a model of neat
ness and precision as regards its me
chanical and chemical arrangements.
Jloro are manufactured all the drugs
used by the navy , and the utmost care
is observed in their preparation , only
thoroughly experienced eliemists being
Employed.
The marine barracks , which arc lo
cated on Flushing avenue , extend from
Curlton to Vanderbilt avenues , and with
the parade ground , cover an area of
six and a hall acres. They are divided
into moss , dress anil parade rooms , the
later being ohiotly used in rainy or in
clement weather , together with an in
struction room for non-commissioned
eflloors , library , equipment rooms ,
whore clothing and accoutrements
ro furnished , a bakery , sleeping rooms ,
capable of accommodating 800 men ,
prisoners' cells , guard and bath rooms.
The interior , tis well as the exterior of
those buildings , id fitted up with taste ,
uud the rooms are models of neatness
order ,
FItuikinir these barracks on the right
Is a building occupied bv the command
ing olllccr on duty at this station , while
to th.o loft of those arc the quarters of
commissioned officers , which also front
on Flushing avenue. Knell conunis-
lonod ofilcor i U allowed the free use of
one of those houses , which contain an
average of ten rooms. There they
llvo in comfort and luxury.
They entertain in lavish style and spend
thousands of dollars in this in minor.
Additional appropriations are yearly
called for , and the uses to which
moneys are converted often form the
basis of many bright and interesting
n o wspapor paragraphs.
One of the chief features of the yard
is i the Naval Lyceum , which was
founded f in 18SI1 by the olllcers of the
station. It is a literary institution ,
having a varied and decidedly Interest
ing history of its own. It contains a li
brary } of over four thousand volumes ,
besides a museum wherein are deposited
a \ large collection of curiosities , and a
valuable cabinet of coins and minerals.
] Hero may bo found paintings and auto
graphs of the several presidents , from
CI Washington down , revolutionary relics ,
Egyptian I mummies and several swords
and i blankets used during the snows at
Valley Forgo Once a week strangers
are permitted to view these interesting
souvenirs , and from early morning
until /j o'clock a steady stream of hu
manity may bj observed wending its
v/av hither.
A little to the right of this building
st'inds a small m\rblo : monument , erect
ed to the memory of those who fell at
the capture of the Barrier Forls on the
Canton river , China , November 10 , Ul
and 22 , 1ST ) . It is half screened by
stately trees , whoso swaying branches
sigh in the autumnal zephyrs , Within
a stone's throw of this , on the opposite
side , npd resting on three logs , is the
huge iron bow of the rebel ram , Mis
sissippi , taken from the vessel after her
capture. It is a triangular-shaped
plate of iron four inches thick , each
side of which measures sixteen foot and
weighs three tons.
The yard lire department includes
two steam ( ire engines and a complete
system of ( ire alarm telegraphs. The
number of buildings within the walls
of the navy yard , including two ship
houses and ton houses for ofllccra , is
over oighty. Near the water's edge ,
and within a few yards of the old ship
house , is a huge dry dock , one of the
grandest works of engineering skill in
the world. The main chamber of this
dock is U'l ' ) ( feet , ' '
long , > > feet wide at
the bottom , aim 'Mj feet long by 90
feet wide at the top. Its depth is . " 0
feet , and the walls are made of line cut
granite.
The masonry foundations rest upon
piles driven forty foot into the earth ,
the intermediate space being lllled to a
depth of two feet with a mass of con
crete composed ol pebbles and broken
granite. The dock can bo emptied by
steam pumps in four and one-half hours ,
the engines employed have sulliciont
power to pump 010,000 gallons of water
in two and one-half hours. The en
trance to this dock is closed by a lloat-
ing gate or caisson , sixty-six feet long ,
sixteen foot wide , and thirty feet deep.
It is lowered or raised by admitting the
water and pumping it out. The dry
dock wa built at an expense of nearly
33,000,000. ,
As far back as 1820 the site of the
dock was fixed , but the work was not
begun until the spring of 1810. Atone
time , owing to quicksands , it seemed as
if the task would not bo accomplished ,
but the difficulties , which seemed about
isurmountable , wore overcome.
There have boon twonty-ono com-
jiandants in charge of the navy yard
linco 1801. The present commandant Is
dmiral Bancroft Ghorardi , but , dur-
n g the greater part of the year , the
lutios of his olllco devolve upon Com-
nandor Joseph N. Miller , one of the
: nest popular and handsomest olllcers of
ho navy.
Two classes of seamen are practically
rained hero each year , after which
hey are rated seamen gunners. From
imong the ranks are selected the spcc-
alsts of the crow , to care for the now
ippliances of warfare , such as modern
? uns with their complicated carriages
ind gear , rapid lire guns , gatlinga
dynamos for ship lighting , etc.
During the late civil war , when party
pirit fan high , this navy yard , with its
valuable munitions of war , attracted the
ittontion of the confederates , who dis
played great eagerness to rieouro its pos-
lOasion. Plans for its capture were
latched in Washington , which , at the
outbreak of the strife , was the head
quarters of the conspirators. Fortu
nately the authorities wore notified of
ho scheme , and it fell through.
The marines enlibtcd for service on
shore or on board of ships constitute a
separate military body , trained to fight
as infantry and artillerymen , for parti
cipation in naval warfare. Their pre
liminary instruction is much the same
aa that of land forces , and they are
clothed and fed like soldiers. All on-
istod men , except musicians , serving
on a first enlistment of llvo years , are
entitled to one dollar a month for the
third year , two for the fourth , and
three for the fifth year's service , in ad
dition to their regular pay , which addi
tional amounts are retained until the
expiration of service , and paid only
upon final settlement and honorable
discharge.
The marines came into existence -
once before the establishment of
the regular navy , and before
a single ship was sent to sea.
The formation of this body runs back to
1773 , and since then the corps has boon
a valuable auxiliary \n promoting
peace and enforcing law and
order. About two thousand five
hundred men constitute the whole body
of the United States marines , and on
these devolve the duty of guarding the
millions of dollars worth of property In
the navy yards of this country. Some
of them are Americans , others arc Ger
mans , Hnglish and Irish ; but. whatever
the nationality , the marines are always
true examples of Yankee valor and
patriotism.
Their duties begin half an hour before
sunrise , whan they arc expected to rise
prepare for guard mounting and pa-
rndi' , which takes place at 8 : ! > U a. m. ,
except on Mondays , whnn there is a
dross parade at 11. This being over ,
they are confined to the barracks until
5 o clock in the afternoon , when those
who are not in debt to the government
for clothing , or guilty of any breach of
discipline , ran go ashore and remain
until 7 ifclock the next morning. Their
uniform consists of a dark blue , doublo-
breasted coat , with orange facings.liarht
blue trousers with rod stripes ornamenting -
ing the sides , and a dark blue cap.
Of the 200 marines stationed here , there
tire only fifteen who are known to bo
married.
The country is ashamed of her navy ,
and justly so. Despite the fact that
America produces the moat scientific
marine architects , and the mo ° t skillful
workmen , in addition to the finest raw
material for carpentry , ship building ,
rigging , sail making and naval stores ,
the American navy is a byword in tbo
mojths of all European nations , and a
glance ut the few ships lying here at
anchor will be siifllciont to convince the
reader of the justice of this reproach.
The sailors stationed hero are men
of experience , but from precisely
what conditions they sprang no
ono cnros to Inquire. Mon be
tween the ages of twonty-ono and fifty ,
who can prove themselves practical so a-
moa and physically sound , tire gener
ally admitted without reference to edu
cation. Landsmen over twenty-throe
years of ago are not taken unless they ,
are mechanics. ' .
From early morn till -o'clock at
night they may bo seen loitering on the
dock of a man-of-war , or engaged in
card playing or some other amusement.
Their dress in summer consists of n
white linen suit , wliich must bo kept
scrupulously clean , and a white shako
of soft material , rounded at the bottom.
They hold their mess on the gun deck ,
which Is well supplied with ta
bles and chairs. When the
gong strikes for dinner the sailors
form in line , and , with bowls in hand ,
march in single line to the quarter
master's sergeant. who supplies each
with a bottle of Ingcr boor. It often
happens that men , nftoi' partakinf of
ono measure of the liquid , rejoin the
ranks of beer applicants as often aa
throe times without detection. This
was particularly the case on the occas
ion of my visit to their quarters on the
Boston. The cooking galley is for
ward , and the diet i.s varied and whole
some. Five days in the week the sail
ors have fresh beef , bread and vege
tables ; ono day they have salt pork and
beans , and one day salt beef and rice.
Although not particularly restricted in
their liberties , thorough discipline is
maintained. During the winter they
have musical entertainments among
thomsohus , give recitations , listen to
lectures , and are othctwiso supplied
with amusements which tend to lighten
their labors and brighten their lives.
Some of the sailors present a line ap
pearance. and look as if tnoy would
adorn bettor positions.
Goods In { On Kin ml.
Letter to Globe Democrat : On King
William street , near the London bridge ,
is or was a toy shop , whose owner was
indulging in a "closing out sale , " when
1 stepped within to buy a small candle
stick. His stock consisted of children's
toys of every kind and small articles
partly of use and partly of ornament ; a
typical Birminghnmassortmeiitit'vould
be called.
"Where are those things made' ? " I
inquired.
"Germany , Franco and London , " was
the reply. "These rubber balls come
from Germany , the clock-work trains
and boats Franco. Drums are made in
London , but Germany is the great cen
ter of the toy trade. No , vo have no
candlesticks. Two doors above. Good-
day. "
Two doors above , the corner of King
William and Arthur streets , proved to
bo devoted mainly to the sale of small
crockery ware , toy tea sets , boys' car
penter tools , cheap jewelry and kick
shaws of ono sort and another again a
Birmingham assortment.
"Whore's all this stutT made ? Bir
mingham ? " I asked again.
The smile on the clerk's face was of
the kind described by Truthful James
as "kind o' sickly" as he said : "I am
afraid a little further olT than that , sir.
Germany. It's n shame. But if they
won't protect British workmon. " An
expressive shrug completed the sen
tence.
In the Ilolborn circus is the main for
eign olllco of the Waltham Watch com
pany. The manager , Mr. Alfred Boil-
ford , readily answered my inquiries
about the sale of American watches in
England.
"Twelve years ago there wore no
American watches sold in England.
Now we have apouces throughout the
United Kingdom tiiid the colonies.
Thousands of watches ? Yes , wo soil
tons of thousands every year. You
may say 50.000. "
The neighborhood of the circus is
crowded with American agencies.
Waterbury and Swiss watches and cheap
American clocks are sold to some ex
tent. Birmingham once made watches ,
but its trade is gone , and Coventry ,
which still makes them , is suffering se
verely from the competition. Ameri
can repeating rifles and American re
volvers are sold everywhere. Birming
ham was once the center of the world's
gun trade. Now she makes only mus
kets , which are out of date while yet
now , and some shotguns. Jewelry , such
0.3 Birmingham used to enjoy a monopoly
ely of , comes from Franco and Germany.
The same is true of optical and surgical
instruments , microscopic lenses and
draughting tools , and in almost every
department of smalj manufactures the
Belgians , Germans , Austrians and
French are underselling England in her
own markets.
Is it any wonder that Birmingham is
not happy and that she sighs for more
worlds to conquer ?

Wax Starch.
This starch is something ontirly now ,
and is without doubt the greatest starch
invention of the nineteenth century , ' ( at
least everybody says so that have used
it. ) It suporccdcs everything hereto
fore used or known to science in the
laundry art. Unlike any other starch ,
as it is coated with pure white wax and
chemically prepared upon scientific
principles by an export in the laundry
profession , who has had years of practi
cal experience in fancy laundrying. It
is the first and only starch In the world
that makes ironing easy and restores
old summer dresses to their natural
whiteness , and imparts to linen a beau
tiful and 'lasting finish. Ask your
grocer next Monday for Wax Starch.

Cost of n Policeman's Now Uniform.
"What docs it cost to make a man
look like that ? " asked a reporter of a
dealer in military goods , pointing to a
gorgeous police captain.
"I don't know lib I could toll you just
what it , costs to make a New York police -
lice captain , for wo don't furnish many
things to the Metropolitan police , but I
can toll you what it costs to provide the
equipment for a rural ] > olieo olllcor. I'll
give you the chief items and you can
add them up for yoursolf. Here are the
items and the figures : Cap 82.75 , hel
met 33.00 , bolt $2.00 , club ( locust ) 50
cents , billo 50 cents , whiotlo 75 cents ,
lantern 32.00 , bull's-eye $1.00 , patent
nippers $1.00 , handcuffs $1.00 ; total ,
317.50. "That , " said the dealer , "is a
private's outfit. I have not includes
clothes , because the uniform is oftoi :
bought at homo by the police of small
cities and I could noV give exact figures.
Of course the upper'grado officers buj
rather more expensive outfits. There
are bolts at 1.50 , shields at the same
price , batons at from 81.00 to 52.00 , ant
a great variety of handcuffs , "nippers , '
"twisters , " and log irons , some of plain
iron and others nicklo plated that rui
in price from $2.00 to 86.00 nor pair.
Then if a policeman is a bit of a dandy
with an eye for the beauties of the area ,
there is no tolling how much ho may
waste on fuss and feathers.
