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. An Koglishman writes tote Times asking what Hritain is to get in return for the log of tue Mayflower, and suggests a general exci. ange of war trophies to cement the friendship of the two nations, and says the United States should give up the flags and the wooden lion now held at Annapolis; which were captured from the British, rh = + GE All arrangements for the cession of Kas: ala to Great Britain have been completed and everything is ready for the occupa- tion of that town by the British troops.

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.

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. While working in the shops ho studied law. 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.”’ HOMELY HINTS. The picture framer may be the better artist. Failure often puts forth the brightest blossoms. It is far easier to be true to art than } to nature. When the strong err, they generally sin to boot. Paint never conceals a blush on the face it covers. One pen is more trustworthy than 100 memories. The fool is the only one that does not fear responsibility. Glimpses of heaven are sometimes caught by looking down.

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.
