A Monster Steamship.

There is now building on the Clyde, IN
the yard of Messrs. Card & Co, at Carts
Dyke, an immense iron steamship, TO be
called the Auato, of much CRATER capacity,
and considerably larger than the leSlathan
steamer, the Great Britain indeed, so large
is the Atrato TO be, that the fine steamship
Argbia, of 2,400 tons, whose launch IN the
Clyde, the other day, we last week noticed,
might be put inside the new steamer, with
good deal of room to spare. The origin
OF the Atrato is somew what romantic. Her
builders, Messrs. Card 4 Co., having con-
sIructed the engines (ol $50 horse power
Tor the Demerara, which got damned across
the Severn, and had to be broken up in conse-
quence of the stralning she received, got
an order from the West Indian Mail Steam
ship Company, to whom the Demerara be-
longed, to build a vessel of iron, instead OF
wood, to which the new engines might be
adapted. They were permitted to modify
the design of the hull so far as the length
was concerned, although the retention OF
she paddle shafts compelled an adherence
TO the same breadth Of beam at that line as
the original vessel The result has been

Keel is laid resting on blocks. The enor.
nous bar is in nine pieces, joined by scarf
joints, and firmly riyeted together; it is the
longest bar and the strongest bar we ever
saw. The stern-post is in one piece, and
so is the stem, which runs for about ten
feet into the horizontal keel The stem a.
lone weighs G6 cwt. Only one half of the
RIBS or frames are as yet in place, and even
with the long length of bare keel terminated
by the stem standing up some forty feet or
more, the enormous dimensions of the YES

be understood from the principal measure

BEAUTIFUL SENrIMENT.-A man with
out some sort of religion is at best poor
reprobate, the football oil destiny, with
no tie linking him to infnity and to the
wondrous eternity that is within him /;
but a woman without ii is even worse
a flame without heat, a rainbow without
color, flower without perfume.
A man may, in some sort, tie his trall
hopes and honors with weak, shifting
ground-tackle TO his business of the
world but a woman, without that an
Choir which they call faith, is drift and
a wreck. A man may clumsily continue
a kind of responsibility or motive, but
can find no basis in any other system of
right action than that of spiritual faith.
A man may craze his thoughts and his
brain to thoughtfulness in such poor
harborage as fame and reputation may
stretch before him but her hope III

MoRE ABOUT APPLEs-The Farmers
Monthly lisitOr, in urging the people of
New Hampshire to grow fruit, has the fol-
loving encouragement -" la East Brad
ford, Mass, about six rods from the Merri-
mack river stands an apple Tree, liny-four
years old. 1t is black russell, and is sur
rounded on the north, west and south by a
barn, pig sty, and house Its roots pass I'M
der the barn and sly the hens and turkeys
roost on It's top. 1t IS Of course strong and
healthy as stimulant can make it; its branch
es almost reach the ground Thrty-6ve
years ago, when that tree was nineteen years
old, itproduced nineteen bushels of apples
These apples readily commanded $50 per
bushel. And for thirty-6ye years it has not
produced less than twenty-five bushels year
ly, aud one year as many as thirty-three
bushels We name the striking fact to
show that trees should be planted in ever,
nook aud corner where they will have nu
triment and if the fruit be selected will
care, pleasure and sure profit will arise from
planting.
! Farmers are sure TO find good Market
Why, in Manchester alone, it is estimated
that five thousand barrels of apples are con
sumed annually. One coniectioner tells u:
tina, be retaiS at his counter four barrels
per week two hundred and eight barrels a
year sold by the copper's worth and at on,

Farmers Of Vermont--do yon hear that
1t is but tiIhe of the amount paid for frui

prices, than all the mean aud grabbed ap

THE TOMATO.

TO many persons there is something
unpleasant, not to say disgusting, in the
flavor of this excellent fruit II has,
however, long been used for culinary
purposes, in various countries of Europe,
and las of late years been extensively
cultivated and become a general favorite-
in this country. DIR. Bennett, a pro-
fessor of some celebrity considers il an
invaluable article of diet, and ascrbes to
il very important medical properties. He
declares
|. That the tomato is one of the most
powerful deobstrumcnts of the Materia
Medtca, and that in all those affections
of the liver and other organs where cal
omel is indicated. it is probably the most
effective and least harmful remedial
agent known in the profession.
2. That chemical extract will be
obtained from it, which will altogether
supersede the use of calomel in the cure
of diseases.
3. That he has successfully treated
dlarrhGa with this article alone.
A. That when used as an article of
diet, 1t is almost sovereign remedy for
dyspepsia and indigestion.
b. That persons arriving from east or
north, to the south or west, should by
all means make use of it as an ailment,
as 1t would, in that event, save them the
danger attendant upon those violent bill
lous attacks TO which almost all unaccli-
mated persons are liable.
q. Thatthe citizens in ordinary should
make us of it, either raw cooked, or in
the form Of catsup, with their daily
food, as IT is the most healthy article in
the nlGrteyfa diinentraria.
Professor RafnesQue, of France, saws:
-" 1t is everywhere deemed very heal
ing vegetable, and va liable article of
food"
Dungleson says -" 1t may be looked
upon as one of the most wholesome and
valuable esculents that belong to the veg
etable kingdom"
Prof. Dickens asserts that it may be
considered more wholesome than any
other acrid sauce.
A writer in the Farmers Register
says 1t has been tried by several per-
sons, with decided success. They were
afflicted with chronic cough, the pri-
mary cause of which, in one case, was
supposed to be diseased liver-in anolh-
er, diseased lungs. 1t mitigates and
sometimes efiectually checks a fit OF
coughing.
The method most commonly adopted
in preparing this fruit for daily use, is to
cut them in slices, and serve with salt,
pepper and vinegar, as you do cucumbers.
To stew them remove them ripe from
the vines, slice up, aud put them in pot
over the stove or fire, without water
Stew them slowly, and when done, put
in small piece of good butter, and eat
as YOU do apple sauce Some add lit
tie flour, bread, finely crumbled, or a
couple of crackers pulverized.

ers and streams in France would not only
afford employment to vast number of per-
sons, but would enable an immense addition
to be made, at scarcely any expense, to the
peoples food. 1t accordingly took the two
men into its service, and made them apply
the system to different waters. They have
done so with the most singular SUCCESS =
rivers and lakes in which there we're no fish
are now teemng with them. Nor have they
confined their operations to trout alone, but
have extended them to salmon, cary, tench
pike and perch, and in each case with COM
plete success Indeed, their system is ap-
plcable to all sorts of fresh water fish, and
to those which after spawning in rivers de-
scend to the sea.
Among the rivers that they have already
stocked are those Of the Isere, Haute, Loire
AllIer, Lozere, Meuse, Meurthe, and the
Haute Saone. Several gentlemen of prop
erty have also tried the system with success
on the estates in Burgundy, Brie and Nor
mandy. In addition to the breeding Of fish
in enormous quantities, 1t enables fish of
different species TO be naturallzed in strange
waters or removed from river to river. So
great is the Importance which the govern
ment attaches to the plan, that it has nom
mated commission of eminent scientific
men to superntend the operations of Gehin
aud Remy. The Moniteur announces that
the Minister of Marine aud Colonies has al
so ordered that experiments shall be made
to apply it to salt water FISH, at the mouth
Of rivers and off the coasts, and especially
to HOLSTERS. NJ. Valenclnnes, an eminent
chthyoogist, aud member OF the Institute,
has been charged to examine the mouths of
the rivers aud the coasts from Havre to La
Teste, aud to state in what places the ex-
perlmenls may be tried with the most chance
Of advantage Milne Edwards and NJ.

been directed to make similar Investigations
between Cherbourg and Granville, aud the
enyirons of Trouyle.
