The Last Of an Old Man-of.War.

The old unfinished ship of the line,
Virginia, at the CharIestoWn Navy
Yard, is to be at once demolished.
She has been on the stocks in one of
the ship houses in the lower part of
the yard for half q century, her keel
having been laid in 1921. Her keel is
lS9 feet long, her spar deck 2l0 feet,
and her extreme preadth 54 feet. She
! is built of live oak. She was intended
to be first class ship and to carry 81
guns and 1000 men. The ship house
which she occupies was built for her,
but is now wanted as place for the
construction of one of the frigates re-
Gently ordered by Congress.
The old ship was to be built under
an appropriation for the gradual in
crease Of the navy, which was made
soon after the cessation OF hostilities
in 1872. The Vermont, and Cumber-
land, sunk by the rebel ram Merri-
mac during the rebellion, the Sabine
and Potomac, sister ships of the Vir-
ginia, were built under the same ap.
preparation. The Virginia is sound in
every respect and is copper bolted up
to the water mark. There is no docu-
ment at the navy yard showing her
cost. The estimated cost of put
ting her in readiness to launch is $50
600. The estimated cost of her de-
molitiOn is $4,000.
A number of old navy officers at the
station regret that she is to be torn to
pieces, being of the opinion that she
would make fine receiving ship, to
take the place Of the Ohio, which is
quite out of repair. Others hold that
she is unfit for service, and should be
put out OF the way to make room for
the construction of modern frigates.
There are still Others who think that
her demolition is q political dodge,
and done to have more men employed
| in the yard. The order for her de-
Struction was received at IL O'Clock,
Wednesday fOi enOon, and at o'clock
small gang of men were at work up

Suggestions to Horsemen.

A horse which gnaws bis manger,
neckyoke or halter, can be furnished
with something that will bite back
by mixing cayenne pepper with
syrup. 1t dries and is noteasily rubbed
of, except with water, and is always
ready to give bite for bite.
Many horses are called a little
foundeTed, when it is only stiffness
Of the cords of. the meek and shoulders
caused by the check rein. You have
often seen horse step back in his
stall after he had been out to show off
his good points, and put his nose
down to the floor? The groom, with
q wise look, will remark: "The old
man gave him a hard one to-day,u
while in fact the horse was oniy
stretching out the cords of his neck;
and then, to make the matter still
worse, the ignoramus ties the halter
still shorter, so as to make him stand
up to the stall. (Fhat action was an
error, for il you 4tgag him up" and
not let nature restore the equilib-
rum, you will in a short time create
contraction in the cords of the neck
and shoulders, and the horse shows a
stiffness, which appears to be foun-
der. My preventative il, to feed from
q manger on a level with his feet,
and over twenty inches in front. This
lets horse feed as he was made to eat
like giraffe. 100 q4
Another objection to high managers
land never saw anything in their
favor is, they irritate the throat and
wfndpipe, and create q tendency to
heaves. If hoTsemen w0uld use more
common sense they would need less
medicine. ..-r 4

The Highest Town in the United
States.

Fairplay, Colorado, lies at the head
of South Park, on the mountain route
between Denver and Santa Fe, ninety
five miles from the former place. II
is noted as the supply point for the
Mount Lincoln mining district. II
has population of about 1000, with
the usual number of stores, hotels,
saloons, besides two banks, and q
weekly newspaper. 1t is the highest
town in the United States, its altitude
being 9,764 feet, nearly two miles
above sea-level, and 3, 500 feet above
Mount Washington. Its inhabitants
while never experiencing the cheated
term" yet from June to September
they have the luxury of moderately
warm days and cool nights, the mo-
nOtony being occasionally relieved by
snow storm in August. Mount Lin
coin towers above the place to q
height of over 10000 feet. All along
its sides, to within a few yards of the
top, often enveloped 10y clouds, and
often above them, miners and pros
pectors are busy developing or seek
ing new discoveries.

the Largest Bridge in The World.

The London Builder gives the fol-
lowing dimensions of bridge to be
constructed over the Firth of Forth:
The structure will be by far the largest
bridge in the world. 1t will be 15C
feet in height. and will contain nearly
100 spans. The greatest span in the
centre will be 500 feet in width, OF
nearly third of q mile in extent,
dimensions which are without paral-
lei for any similar piece of arehitee-
tural construction; and the smaller
openings or spans will be 80 feet in
width, being considerably beyond the
average dimensions of the largest
spans in ordinary bridges. twill cost
at least S10,000,0 600.

Creed Of the adrentIsls.

The following is the creed of the
Second Adventists, who are now
holding meetings near Springfield,
Mass:
Man is mortal and depends upon
Jesus Christ for immortality. Future
life is predicted upon a resurrection
of the dead, and not upon the posses
sion of Immortality. Jesus Christ Is
the great life-giver. He is coming
personally to this earth. When He
comes He viii raise the dead, judge
the world, destroy the devil and al
his works, renew the earth, and give
His children. eternal life Thus there
will be an utter end of ali evil, and s
perfect triumph Of truth, righteous
ness and love. As the redeemed and
purified earth is to be the home of
the saints, it is impossible that they
should receive their reward in q dis
embodied state in q sky kingdom, OF
in other manner or place before
Christ comes to remove the curse, and
destroy the last enemy.
