Business and Improvements in the Ship
building CITY.

Having a leisure day in Bath, whittier we
had gone for business and for purposes of
friendship, we took occasion, the present week,
to stroll through her heretofore silent but now
active shipyards. Bath, the Queen City ofthe
Kennebec, is also the shipbuildng city not on
ly of the State but of New England. For years
past, covering the flush period of 1925, this
city took long strides ahead of all others in
the amount ofnew tonnage put afoat, and this
year she bids fair to maintain her well-earned
reputation in this respect.
At the present time there are on the stocks,
in different stages Of progress towards compile
ton, no less than tpelre vessels, all within the
corporation limits Of the city, besides one ship
of about 800 tons, in Phipsburg-an adjoining
town, seaward on the river,-being built by C..

NEW YORK, July "a.
The Herald has sensation dispatches from
Washington to the effect that between the rad
icals and conservatives the Cabinet has been
upon the verge of complete dissolution
that Mr.. Seward made up his mind to resign
his position. His conciliatory and magnani-
nous counsels were to be superseded BY vio-
lent measures demanded by our abolition ia
natics. That his retirement would have led
to the entire reconstruction Of the Cabinet,
and that TO avoid such embarrassments at this
crisis, and especially to retain the invaluable
services of Mr.. Seward, the President has re-
solved to harmonic as far as possible the exc
cuton Of the conscation and militia acts with
the conservative war policy which thus far
has marked every act of his, or message order
or proclamation.
The Herald's Washington dispatch saws re-
bel sympathizers in Baltimore give the follow
ing: Stonewall jackson with a moderate
force is to be sent to the valley of the Shenan-

Peninsula, to threaten Newport News. and
prevent the removal of troops from that point:
and about $4,000 more are to be pushed to
James river, below Gen. McClellan's position,
while the rest of the army at Richmond is to
march rapidly on to Washington.

FORTRESS MONROE. July %.

The Union prisoners who arrived yesterday
on the Kennebec, will remain in the hospitals
at and near this place for the present. There
are about POO on the boat; most Of them are
doing well. They We're well treated by the
rebels, only they were kept closely confined
and their food was bad, but this was not SO
much from design as from necessity. They
say the federal surgeons at Richmond acted
molly and selfsacrificing toward our sick and
wounded prisoners, going where they 90, and
remaining with them while in prison, taking
care of them both night and day.
Union troops are almost daily arriving. max
ing very short stay and passing up James
river to join Gen. Mcclellan or Gen. Burn

The weather continues cool and the sick are
now rapidly recovering; many are now con
valescent.

A New York merchant noticed, in the
progress of years, that each successive
book keeper gradually lost his health, and
finally died of consumption, however Wig.
orous and robust he was on entering his
service. At length it occurred to him thai

kept opened in back yard. and was so sur
rounded by high walls that no sunshine
came into it from one years end to another
An upper room, we'll lighted. was immedi-
ately prepared, and his clerks had uniform
good health ever after. A familiar case to
general readers is derived from medical
works, where an entire English family be-
came i'll, and all remedies seemed to fail Of
their usual results, when accidentally, q
window glass of the family room was bro

and forthwith there was marked improve

physician at once traced the connection,
discontinued his medicines, and ordered
that the window pane should not be replaced.
A French lady became i'll. The most emf
neut physicians of her time were called in,
but failed to restore her. At length Dupey-
tren, the Napoleon of physic. was consult

house being situated in one of the narrow
streets, or rather lanes of Paris. He at
once ordered more airy and cheerful apart

plant grows spindly, pale and scraggling. if
no sunlight falls upon it. The greatest
medical names in France, of the last centu-
ry, regarded sunshine and pure air as equal
agents in restoring and maintaining health.
From these facts, which cannot be disputed,
the most common mind sohuld conclude
that cellars, and rooms on the northern side

or as libraries or studies. Such apartments
are only fit for stowage, or purposes which

VALUABLE RECEIPTS.
Pot.Pies.

a good pot,pie is good thing; heavy.
half-cooked dough is poor eating. aud hard
to be digested, whether cooked in the form
of bread loayes, biscuits, or in kettle. A
lady reader of the American A9ricGlturiss,
whose pot pies we have proved and approx
ed more than once, writes out the following
directions: Make the dough just as for rais-
ed biscuits; an egg, beaten and mixed in with
the butter or lard shortening, improves the
lightness and quality, but is not necessary.
When the meat is boiled nearly enough, cut
the dough into small biscuit size, and lay
the pieces not among the meat, but on per-
forated tin placed in the pot just above the
liquid; cover and cook them through by the
steam. Stir little -four into the meat
liquor and boil it we'll; lay the cooked crust
on the dish and pour over It the gravy and
the meat.-(9) Mrs. Lucy Epson. of
Pecatonica, Winnebago Co., ILL.,, contrib
utes the following: ''For the crust. use
pint of sweet milk. ! teaspoonful of soda.
teaspoonfuls cream of tartar. butter the
size of an egg, and flour enough to make
dough as stiff as for tea biscuit Roll out
and cut like biscuit and drop on the top of
the chicken, cover and boiltwenty minutes"
MEAT FOR PoT- PIEs.- Tender poultry is
of course preferable, when to be obtained;
but almost any kind of meat not too fat, an
swers well. Good veal, and lamb. are next
to poultry, but beef, lean pork. or spare rib.
or any kind of lean meat is lar from poor
substitute, if the crust be made light.
