Schenck is probably the best poker player
in the United States, except Charley Fare
well and John A: Logan. He is splendid
talker on the stump, and abounds in anec-
dote. He has the perseverance of the devil.
He don't knew when he is licked. Just put
him on the track and he is one of the most
persevering men l ever knew in my life.
He is a good drnker, and has all the quail
ties that make him popular with the fast

Literature as Profession is not especially
remunerative in Germany. The late Dr..
Strauss, author of the well knowe "Life of
Christ" a book of which repeated editions
have been published, had All income, it is
said, not exceeding 400 florins, or little
more than 5000 in gold, on which small sum
he and his wife managed to snbsist com
fortably, if not luxuriously. His French
compeer, Ernest Renan, rose, on the other
hand, from poverty to wealth and luxury
by the sale of his /" Vie de Jesus"'

The steerage, on the starboard side, has,
in addition to passenger accommodation,
the hospital department, with FIVE berths,
butcher shop, and cattle pen. Forward,
on the port side, are warerOoms, water
closet, and room for baker and cook, with
passenger accommodations.
The forecastle has accommodations for
60 of the crew, and is more spacious than
usual. Forward, on deck is the pilot
house and chart-rooms. The quarters OF
the first, second and third officers are on
deck, abaft, and fitted mp with every con-
venience, including walnut furniture.
The smoking-room is also on deck. It IS
10 by l6 feet, and handsomely furnished
with lounges of walnut. Attached to the
City of Pekin are the Captains gig, ten
boats. and SIX of the largest size and most
improved life-ra+ts, forming ample means
of safety to the passengers and crew in
case of accident.
Seven rolling-maIs in this state contrib
uted the iron, the weight of which is esti-
mated to be 100000 pounds. When
loaded to her full capacity, she will stand
about II feet above the water line. We
already have spoken of her engines, but
may add that her horsepower is rated at
1900. The furnaces will consume about
60 tons of coal per day, and the speed of
the vessel it is estimated, will be l6 knots
per hour.
The saloon-cabin will be furnished and
upholstered in the most elaborate manner,
with plush and velvet carpetings On
the spar-deck, we notice the steering APP
paratus, which can be used either by hand
or steam. Three of the four masts are of
iron. The windlass is arranged to be OPP
Grated by steam or manual power. The
anchors are of 5000 weight separately,
and are attached to % fathoms of two and
quarter inch cham. She can avail her
self of $500 feet of canvass
On leaving our port she will be taken
in charge by Captain J. Maurie, of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and con
veyed to the Morgan Iron Works, where
she will receive her engines, and all else
necessary to her full completion. One
million dollars is the estimated cost of this
magnificent structure.

THE MAN WHO GETS DRUNK ON BAD LIQUOR
And the man who drinks no liquor at all.
Indeed, they regard the latter with ha-
tired or contempt which they do not feel
for the poor drunkard The absolute ami
mostly with which many men in society
regard one who is conscientiously opposed
to wine-drinking could only spring from
delusion in regard to the real nature of
their own habits. The sensitiveness of
these people on this subject, however,
shows that they suspect the delusion of
which they are the victims. They claim
to be on the side of temperance. They
deprecate drunkenness, and really don't
see what is to be done about it. They
wish that men would be more rational in
their enjoyment of the good things of the
world, etc, ETC. /; but their eyes seem
blinded to the fact that they stand in the
way of all reform. The horrible drunken
ness of the larger cities of Great Britain,
with which no hell that America holds can
compare for a moment, can never be re-
formed until the drinking habits of the
English clergy and the English gentry are
reformed. With eleven-twelfths of the
British clergy wine-drinkers. and water
drinkers tabooed in society, and social
drinking the fashion in all the high life of
the realm, the workman will stand by his
gin, brutality will reign in its own chosen
centers uudisturbed, and those centers will
increasingly become what, to a frightful
extent, they already are-festering sores
upon the body social, and stenches in the
nostrils of the world.
WATER THE ONLY CURE.
The habits, neither of Great Britain nor
America, will be improved until men of
influence in every walk of life are willing
to dispense with their drinking customs.
Hundreds of thousands of English-speak-
ing men go to drunkard's grave every
year. There is nothing in sanitary consid-
erations as they relate to the moderate
drinker, and surely nothing in the pleas
ures of the moderate drinker to mitigate
this curse. 1t is all delusion. The water
drinker is the healthy man and the happy
man. Spirits, wine, beer, alcoholic bev-
erages of all sorts are burden and bane,
and there is no place where a good man
can stand unskadowed by a fatal delusion,
except upon the safe ground of total alb
stinence. Until that ground is taken and
held by good men everywhere, there can
be no temperance reform. The wine
drinkers OF England and America have the
whisky-drinkers in their keeping. What
do they propose to do with them?

Built in America.

PHILADELPHIA, March ISth.-This after
noon, at six minutes past one o'clock, the
City of Pekin, the largest steamship in the
world next to the Great Eastern, was most
successfully launched from John Roach's
ship-yard at Chester, fourteen miles from
Philadelphia The launch was witnessed
by thousands of persons, and it is looked
upon as great national event. The sea

with the City of Yedo, of the same size and
nearly ready for launching, between San

United States Senators, members of Con.
gress representing nearly all the States,
representatives of different State Govern
ments, and thousands of visitors from
Philadelphia, New York, Washington,
Baltimore, Wilmington and other cities.
1t was fully expected that President Grant
would be present, but he was detained in
Washington.
After the launch, a grand banquet was
given in a spacious building in Roach's
ship-yard. Nearly 1000 persons sat down
to the table. Speeches were made by
United States Senators Bogy, of Missouri,
and Cameron, of Pennsylvania; John
Roach, builder of the City of Pekin and
City of Yedo, aud others.

steamship are as follows: Length of load
line, 800 feet inches length over all,
42O feet; beam, Al feet inches; depth,
IS feet 6 inches; tonnage, nearly 5000
tons. She is rugged with four masts, full
ship rig, with fore-and-aft iigger-mast;

gers. Her engines are double compound

Good Old Deacon Smith.

A simple ballad here 1 sing,
Ofhonest Deacon Smith,
And if this ballad is not true,
'TiS certainly a myth.
The Deacon was noted man,
AS any in the town,
Aud still was known to be upright
Unless when he laid down
A soft and tender heart was his,
That glowed with pity ; ray;
He could not bear to see distress
So always ed away.
His face was sober, long and sad,
Like all true piOus folks;
And never did he laugh smile
Except at his own jokes
In charity he did abound,
That jewel without price;
And to the poor he always gave
The very best advice.
His tongue, though mild, could give reprooI
That made the sinner quake,
But never yet was too severe
When of himself he spake-
A truly moral man was he,
And was from a lad
And ne'er was known to curse or swear
Except when he was mad.
A peaceful quiet soul was his,
Unlike the common pack;
He ne'er was known to strike man
Lest he should b : struck back.
The measure of his pety
Nc mortal man can tell;
And doubtless he will go 10 heaven,
Unless he goes to-welF!

The KroW.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

l hav written sevral very popular obit-
uary notises OF the crow, but find that l
hav stated good deal about them that
wasn't true, and hav left unsung a good
deal that waz so.
The crow, phisikally considered, IL
about the size of two wild pigeons. and
IL az black and brilliant az a piece of pat
ent leather.
They are as cunning as tombs lawyer,
and just about az much ov a ded beat.
Yu kant ketch one in trap, and they
will smell a gun. that amt even loaded
klear akrost 200 aker farm.
Morally konsidered, the crow haz a
reputashun that il badly out ov repair,
but for the korn and other cereals they
steal they make amends by the awful
amount they consume.
Departed horse, extinkt sheep, ded
COW, and destroyed pig, are amung the
awful that the crow are sweet upon, and
save the undertakers many poor Job
Yung crow are handy to tame and ed
ukate, but after yu have got him thoroly
edukated, it will take two smart consta-
bles to keep him out ov mischief.
They will steal just for the excitement
ov the thing. l hav known them to
steal an old horse shu, that want worth
emmy thing and lug it away down to the
lever end Nv the garden.
A tame crow and tame injun may be
moral triumph on the face ov it, bu;
when yu cum to examine the other side
ov it, yu will find yu hav drawed blank.
If all the crows and injuns in the world
were tame and edukated yu could bid
farewell to all other employments, and
spend you're time and talents watching
and studying the kussid kritters.
1t IL a great mistake to meddle with
instinkts ov emmy kind; you kant eradi-
kate them, and yu kant improve them
without making them wuss.
Emmy learned or literary fellow will tell
you this, if yu ask him politely.
Crows assemble in the fall ov the year,
ten thousand ov them in council, and ap-
point their officers and deakons for the
following year.
AT this great caukuss resolushuns are
passed, daming the farmers up hill and
down for putting up s<arecrows in the
kornfelds, plans are laid for future steal
ing, and each crow swopping wives with
another crow, the grand convenshun
bursts and the crows fly away
Thus ends this crownollogy.
