steam sloop.of.war Brooklyn, which was
launched in 1858, and ought to be almost
as good as new, is now at the Navy Yard
there, as rotten as if she had been twenty
years at sea. Scarcelya timber in her'is
sound, and her engine and boilers are in
a terrible condition, and before she can be

citizens for all the empty vials they have to
pare, to be used in dispensing medicine to
