The New Naval Era. -
Now that the-United States has got a
Navy of respectable proportions, to
which some powerful additions are
shortly to be made, it will probably be
the policy of the department, says the
Washington Post, to make it useful as
well as ornamental, and to so distribute
it that proper surveilliance of American
interests may be maintained on every
sea and in' all quarters of the globe.
It were quite as well to have no navy
at all as an establishment that cannot
,be promptly made serviceable when-
ever occasion may arise for an assertion
of authority. Not that the object in
view is to pick quarrels with other
powers, but, quite the contrary, to pre-
serve t-he peace, and to see that the
rights of our growing commerce are
not encroached upbn ; that the rights
of our citizens in foreign'lands are not
violated, and that the scope of “ Uncle
Sam’s ” vision is to be henceforth so
broadened as to take in both the great
oceans by which the continent is
bounded.
The effect of such a policy will be to
put new life into the service, to aug-
ment its efficiency, to build up a sea-
power without which the United States
must be placed at a great disadvantage
with other nations and remain shorn of
one of the strongest arms of its de-
fense. The country has important in.
terests in South America, in Asiatic
waters, in the North and South Pacific,
in the North and South Atlantic, in the
Mediterranean, that need to be looked
after not now and then, or in any leis-
urely, perfunctory way, but with unin-
termitting vigilance, in order that the
Government may be at all times pre-
pared for any emergency that may
arise. This may necessitate an increase
in the number of squadrons, and the
country will be fortunate in having the
ships. out of which to create them. It
may also necessitate longer cruises,
longer absences from home, less shore
duty, less pomp and circumstance in
port, but what is a Navy for, unless it
be to patrol the seas and give assurance
to our merchant fleets and-to American
sojourners in distant lands that the old
flag is within call?
Commendable as the alertness and
courage and capacity of officers and
men have always been on occasions of
urgency, their ambition and pride can-
not fail to be stimulated by the added
prestige which the-Navy is gaining by
its rehabilitation and by the enlarged
opportunities for professional training+
and honorable distinction it is destined
to afford.

GLELLAN’S SIAFE SAYS.
He Saved Pi‘esl-Qeltliiljncoln iron]
capture.
He Was the Preseirver Also of John
Jacob Astor.
"Col. Vv'illiam 'A. H. Sillowaye is 60
years old. He resides at Bellows Falls,
Vt. and is connected with the Bellows
Falls Times. He has something of
the most vital interest to say to his fel-
low soldiers of the G. A. R, and to his
fellow men the world over.
In “Rifle Shots and Bullet Shells.”
there can be, found a sketch of Col.
Sillowaye, wherein it is shown that he
indirectly saved the Union, when. in
1863, he prevented the capture of Lin-
coln by the Confederates. He also
saved John Jacob Astor from a similiar
fate In 1862. in the Peninsular cam-
paign. Col. Sillowaye 'served four years
and eight months in the army and
navy during the war. and from April
1861, to February, 1863, he served his
country without pay or reward of any
kind. ‘
He knew all the Union generals and
Secretary Stanton and Mr. ’Welles. He
was lieutenant colonel on Gen. Mc-
Clellan’s stali‘in 18G‘3. Col. Sillowaye
is a practical printer, engineer and lin-
guist. He has set up works in Greek,
French, Spanish, Latin and Hebrew.
He was employed during five years at
Oxford. Bug, on Homan’s Greek bi-
ble, and there. in 1859, the degree of
LL.D. was conferred upon him. His
first wife was a daughter of Sir Wile
liam Blackie and neice of Sir Richard
Houghtou. . His present wife is a rela-
tive of Hon. William M. limits, and a
very gifted lady. .
Col. Sillowaye is a very modest mari,
and only consented to talk to the writer
after it was shown that it would be
criminal for him to keep his knowledge
to himself while others suffered. ‘
So here is his story as it fell from
his lips. He saw it Written out and he
indorsed every word of it.
“On the 19th . of April, 1861, I enlist-
ed in the army. of the North. I
weighed 162 pounds. After serving
four years andaeight months in the
army and navy. and suffering from
wounds and rheumatism, I was dis-

charged 10'.) pounds. Every year I
had attacks of nervous prostration;
shortness of breath. and loss of appe-
tite were not the least of my misfor-
tunes. _. tried numberless things.
Nothing did me any‘good.
While employed in Boston, I was
compelled to resign my position on ac-
count of ill 'heallhfi I consulted sev-
eral eminent physicians and took their
medicines. No usel-I grew worse day
after day. The)" told me I could not
live. I could not walk alone in the
street. witlunrt'falling or clinging to
railings. At. iimesI would shake and
thtch. Had spells of falling down in
the office and, onthe street. In the
house I had in lie down or drop down.
Several times I believed
death’s deor. .
I had been commander of three dif-
ferent G. A. R. Posts and my comrades
advrsed me to try Dr. Greene’s Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. I
bought a bottle and when I had taken
two-thirds of it I began to improve. I
kept on taking, it, improving all the
time. I now_ weigh lSO-"pounds and
feel-like my cld self again.
You can put it in your paper that I
attribute my good health to nothing
but Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. I am perfectly satis-
fied that it saved my life. I am 60
years ".f age, but, as youcan see for
yourself. I am‘as active as a man of 40
and can do a good day’s work as peo-
ple here_well know. My friends in
Boston, No 0' York and other places are
surprised at my recovery. Indeed, I
am surprised .. 'v’hclf to be so well. I
advrse everybody afflicted to buy and
try Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy at once.”
At this season of the year when
everybody needs and is using a spring
medicine we advise the use of this
wonderful health restorer. It is by
all odds the best spring medicine ever
discovered, and immediately invigor-
ates the blood. strengthens the nerves
and restores a healthy action of all the
organs. ’
Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedyis as harmless as it is
good, and 1t is‘purely vegetable. It
sells at $1 per bottle. Physicians rec-
ommend It to_ their patients as it is not
a patent medicine. It is the discovery
of that eminent specialist,:Dr. Greene,
who can be consulted personally or by
letter, _at 35 W. 14th Street, New York,
at all times.‘ , '
