How new Monitors are Built.

The New York Journal of Commerce gives
the following interesting description Of The
building Of one of the six new Monitors, at
the Fulton Fopndry, Jersey City, which it
characterizes as good illustration of quick,
systematic, and thoroughly intelligent work
manship:
The work grows harmonionsly, though not
unsteady unless one likes the din Of IA thon-
sand hammersl under the eye of the visitor.
The laying of the keel, ard the setting OF
nearly all the frames, have already been ac-
complished. These are difficult parts Of the
structure, and upon their accurate adjustment
everything depends. The new Monitor, in the
present stage of its Development, looks exact
ly like an iron vertebrae with three times the
usual supply of ribs. This skeleton of what
is soon to be thing Of terrible powers, is
covered with workmen as with flies. They
swarm all over it with big ana little hammers
chisels, pincers, ton5s, aud every known APP
p!iance for the noisy handling and treatment
of hot aud cold iron. DJzans of portable
forges stand on either side. in which innumer-
able bolts are heated red hot, and passed to
the workmen, by whom they are dexterously
rveted in the hole made foc them and so the
iron plating and bars are iadissolubly bound
together 1t is kind of stitching for which
no machine has yet been invented. The frame
is covered with high roof to keep off the
suns rays but the ends aud sides of the shed
are left open for the comfort of the artizans.
On both sides Of the ample yard are long
sheds for the execution of various parts of
the work In one the bolts are made; in
another the holes are punched in third the
ribs are bent into precisely the right shape,
to the fraction of hair The latter task is
a hard one, requiring the successive exertions
Of numerous brawny fellows, who relieve each
other every few minutes in the swinging of the
gigantic sledge hammers. Throughout the
yard, at every turn, are visible the evidences
of order, dispatch and skill.
" This one Of the six new Monitors will be
200 feet, extreme length 40 feet, extreme
breadth; and IL feet depth of hold. The gen
eral construction of that wonderful vessel will
be c, ped in all but two or three triding re-
spects, where the inventor thinks there is room
for improvement. She will carry guns of the
| largest known cali5er"

a Remedy for SMALLPOX.

Or. Frederick w. Morris, resident physi-
clan of the Halifax Visiting Dispensary, n. S.,
has written letter TO the American HeItoat
Times, in which he states that the '.Sarracenia
Purpurea," or Indian cup, native plant of
Nova Scotia, is the remedy for smallpox in
all its forms. curing in twelve hours after the
patient has taken the medciLe. That '.how-
ever alarming and numerous the erup'ious, or
continent and frightful they may be, the pec1
liar action of the medicine is such that very
seldom is scar left to tell the story of the dis
ease" If either vaccine or variolouS matter
is washed with the infusion of the sargscena
they are deprived Of their contagious prop
critics. So mild is the medicine to the taste
that it may be largely mixed with tea and cof-
fee and given to connoisseurs in these bevera-
ges to drink without their being aware of the
admixure. Tbs Redecine has been success
fully tried in the hospitals of Nova Scotia, and
its use will be continued.

Place her among flowers, foster her as a ten

wardness and sometimes fclly-annoyed by

ers too heavy, and she is overpowered by the
perfume ofa rose bud. t3ut let real calamity

strengthens itself-how strong is her purpose
Place her in the heat of battle-gfve her

lifting her white arms as a shield, us her own
blood crimsons her upturnrd forehead praying
for life to protect the helpless
Transplant her in the dark places of earth,
call forth her energies to action, and her breath
becomes healing, her presence a blessing
She disputes, inch by inch, the stride of the
stalking pestilence, when man. the st7cpg ans
brave. pale and afrighted, shrinks away
Misfortune haunts her not; she wears away
a life of silent endurance, ana goes forward
with less timidity than to her bridal. l pros.
perity she is bud full of odors, wait
ing but for The ewinds of adversity to scatter
them abroad-pure gold, valuable, but untried
in the furnace. Iu short, woman is miracle
a mystery, the centre from which radiates tbs
great charm ofexistence.

made confusion more confounded. Everything
was wanted and nothing to be found, and yet
everything was c&acuy in the way. The rooms

elbows began to tinge with excitement. as the
