Sheonly surrendered after one hundred of her crew had been killed, and wheu the se- coad British frigate came up to help the Encéymion. Tuday, however, she looks like a small craft, and is really Jess than 2,00 tons burden. She bears no eviden- ces of the terrible cannonade she sustained before she surrendered. Every plank seems to beas sound as when she was launched. At the admiralty, however, doubts were expressed as 1o whether she could cross the Atlantic without going to piect:, and in any event, it is said, she would be aimost worthless, except as a curicsity. Jrisaisosaid that she has been rebuilt above the water line, but it is admiited that her frame, keel, masts and much of her planking were exacily as they came from the Yaukee ship bailders yard. Her history has been carefu:ily kept at the almiralty. Since she was captured she has been a part of the british navy, but her name has never been changed. The officers aboard today said the great old ship made litile or no waier, and appeared to be perfectly sound.

A Good Reason.
The general passenger agent of one of tha Chicago trunk lines received a letter from a Kansas man the other day requesting a pass for himself to Chicago and return. There was nothing about the letter to indicate that the writer pad avy claim whatsoever to the courte- sy he requested, but the railway man thought that perhaps the Kansan had gome connection with the road in some way. possibly as 4 local freight agent. So ke wrote back, “‘ Please state explic- itly on what account you request trans- portation.’’ By return mail came this reply, ‘‘I’ve got to go to Chicago some way, and I don’t want to walk.’’—Ex- change.

The Hon. James M. Robinson of In- diana, who is among the young contin- gent in a house extracrdinarily full of young men, received his education in the public schools cf his native town, Fort Wayne, was a newspaper carrier until 1876, went into the railroad ma: chine shops and worked till 1881.

When a man gets down flat on his back, so that he has to be carried about like a baby, he finally realizes that he is a sick man. Very frequently he has been a sick tnen for years, but has recklessly refused to recog: nature’s: warnings. Severe ilness is. ec-cthing that does not strike a man like a flash of lightning. It creezs upon him by degrees, and at everv sicp warns him wth a new danver signal.
When a “tan feels ‘‘out of sorts’’ or “knocked ont,” or whatever he imay call ii, he is a Sick san. It is time to take |. ar- ing, Heacacics, drowsiness, loss of siccp at night, locs of appetite, nervousness, bad taste in the mouth ta the morning, and frightful dreams—ali these are warnings of encroaching illness. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery creates appetite, cures dyspepsia, stimulates the liver, purifies the blood, quickens the-cirentation and tones the nerves. It makes rich, red, tissue- building blood. It builds firm flesh, but does not make corpulent people more cor- pulent. Unlike cod liver oil, it does not make flabby flesh. On the contrary, it tears down and excretes the unhealthy tis- sues that constitute corpulency, and re- places them with the firm, muscular tissues of good health. It cures 08 t cent. of all cases of consumption. Al) bronchial, throat end kindred ailments. as lingering coughs, spitting of blood and weak lungs are cured by it. Thousands have testified to its merits. At all medicizte stores.
It is a dealer’s business to give you what you ask for; not to ‘tell you what you want.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure con- tion. Constipation is the cause of many disease Cure the cause and you cure the disease, One ‘‘ Pellet’? is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathar- tic. Druggists sell them, and nothing is **just as good.”’

Pooie’s Little Joke.
When Poole, the English tailor, was an old man, ke was at Brighton on a vacation, and one afternoon went out to walk upon the pier. A young man was also onthe pier with a couple of ladies, to whom he said, as he saw Poole coming: “Now, you wouldn’t take that good looking man for a tai- lor, but he is. Just listen while I take him down a notch or two. I'll tell him my coat, which I have just had from him, doesn’t fit.’’ As he spoke Poole approached and politely acknowledged the salutation of his customer, who, walking up to him, said: ‘‘Here, Poole, now do take a look at me. Does this coat fit??? Poole took in the situation. ‘It certainly does not fit,’’ said he, and, pulling out a bit of French chalk, he proceeded liberally to mark and cross the coat of his would be queller all over and then observed, with the ut- most urbanity, ‘‘ Now, if you will kind- ly send that coat to my shop, the alter- ations shall be attended to.’’——-Argo- naut.
The Make Up Did It.
The actor with the bicycle face ard the hump on his back strode to the foct- lights. ‘‘My kingdom for a horse!’’ he cried.
A score of men rose in their seats and a shower of repair kits rained upon the stage.
The supposition that it was a punc- tured tire was perhaps not an unnatural oue.—-New York Press,
Why Not?
**Do you mean to tell me that you have found a large number of men who are Willing to put all they possess into a common stock and share alike?’
“Certainly,’’ replied the socialist, ‘Why not? There isn’t one of them who hasacent to his name.’’—Wash- ington Star.
Woman's Way.
**So, after they had fonght for her, she married the man who got whipped, did she?’’
‘*Yes. She reasoned that a man who would fight a man who could whip him must be braver than a man who fought a man he could whip.’’—Cincinnati Enquirer, ;
Waiting Not Possible.
His fiery spirit brooked no delay—~ no, not a moment’s hesitancy or vacilla- tion.
Therefore, ‘‘Excuse me, suh, if I don’t wait fo’ yo’!’’ said Colonel Bonur- bon, tossing off his whisky straight.— New York Journal.
