The Most Powerful War Vessel i'm
the World.

The British iron-clad Infexible is
now about one fourth completed, work
having been begun upon her in Feb
ruary. 1874. Unless (says the Seien-
tifc American) the progress of inven-
ton results in the projecting of a still
more formidable engine of marine
warfare before the Infexible is
launched, she will possess the thiekest
armor, the heaviest guns. the largest
displacement in tuns, the most ma
chinery in the world. and probably
prove more expensive than any other
war vessel hitherto constructed. She
will have engines for steering, for load
ing guns, for hoistiug shot and shell.
for ventilation, for moving turrets, for
lowering boats and for turning the
capstan as well as for propulsion. The
vessel is little more than a floating
castle, rectangular above water. 100
feet long, by 80 feet IL width, aud pro-
tected by 25 inches total thicknes of
iron. The two turrets, which are
placed within the citadel, are formed
of iron of a single thickness of Is
inches. and within each of them are
two so tun guns, which can be trained
to any point of the compass. The
main engines work up to 5000 indi-
Gated horse power. and the bunkers
carry ! 200 tons of coal. The total
cost of the vessel is placed at $685.
600.

What to do with the Corn.

The Mexico Intelligencer says the
farmers of Audrain county have 90
much corn that they do not know
what to do with it. All Of them have
a surplus, and many of them have a
large surplus. This complaint-for it
is complaiut--is almost universal
throughout the State. The corn yield
is enormous there is such an abun-
dance of it that it is selling in some
counties at 20 cents bushel, in some
at 10 cents, and in others at s. to So
per acre in the field; and there are
many fields that will yield IS to 50
bushels per acre, and some that will
do still better. If there were good
stock of hogs and cattle to feed the
corn to il could be turned to a good
account, by being converted into beef
and pork. But the scarcity of stock
is one part of the difficulty; in the
grasshopper counties, where the crop
is heaviest, hogs and cattle are scarce,
because they were starved, sold or
driven off during the ravages Of the
insects; and even in the great stock
raising counties of North Missouri,
there are not more than halt enough
animals to consume the corn crop. 1t
would seem that the best the farmers
can do, under the circumstances, is to
feed all the corn their stock will take,
and carry the surplus over for year.
1t is saying with farmers that two
good crops never come in s-ccession,
and, if this be true, the surplus corn
of this year may bring twice as good
price twelve months hence as it is
bringing now.-St. LoEis Republican.

Limit Your Wants.

happiness comes from wealth.
And the worlds experience is. that
money is not the only thing that brings

The Curse Of Brink.

The appetite for strong drink in
man has spoiled the life of more wo-
men-ruined more hopes for them,
scattered more fortunes for them,
brought them to more sorrow, shame
and hardship than any other evil that
lives. The country numbers tens
ray, hundreds of thousands-of wo-
men who are widows to-day, and sit in
hopeless weeds, because their husbands
have been slain by strong drink.
There are hundreds of thousands of
homes scattered over the land, in
which women live lives of torture, GO
ing through all the changes of suffer
ing that lie between the extremes of
fear and despair, because those whom
they love, love wine better than the
women they have sworn to love.
There are women by thousands who
dread to hear the step that once thrilled
them with pleasure, because that step
has learned to reel under the influence
of the seductive poison. There are
women groaning with pain while we
write these words, from bruises and
brutalities inflicted by husbands made
mad by drink. There can be no ex-
ageration in any statement in regard
to this matter, because no humans
Imagination can create anything worse
than the truth. The sorrows and hOT-
rnrs of wife With 3 drunken husband,
or a mother with a drunken son, are
as near the realization of hell as can
be reached in this world at least. The
shame, the indignation, the sorrow,
and the sense Of disgrace for herself
and children, the poverty, and not un-
frequently the beggary-the fear and
the fact of violence, the lingering,
lifelong struggle and despair of count
less women, with drunken husbands,
are enough to make all women curse
wine, and engage unitedly to oppose it
everywhere as the worst eaemy of
thfl5 ssR.

anguish, so he remarked to Mrs. b.
that, as they were married, she should
tell him the cause of her grief, so, III
possible, be could avert it, and after
considerable eOaxing he elected the
following from her:

Thinking to console her, Bundy
placed his arm lovingly around her
and asked:
And did you see any men like me
there?"
"Oh, yes" she replied, drawing
away from him, lots like you; they

A Raid ON the Indians.

There 4 no doubt that General Cook
commander OF the department Of the
Platte, is quietly fitting up an expedi-
ton against the redskins of the North.
For some months it has been a matter
of the widest conjecture as to what the
large pack-trains of Mexican Jacks
were being organized for at and in the
neighborhood of Cheyenne. Several
hundred pack jacks have been eentered
IN the nelghborhood of Fort Russell
aud NOperson; not ever the officer in
command of the post was let into the
secret use to which they were to be
put. Charles Collins, one OF the lead
ers of the Black Hills stampede, writes
as follows: Il know whereof speak.
The post of military camp in the Black
Hills is to be moved out. General
Cook, commander of the department
of the Platte, has for some time past
prophesied and looked forward to an
Indian war, in the event that the COM
misslOners appointed to treat for the
Black Hill failed in their mission
with the Indians. The general is an
Old Indian fighter, and means BUSINESS.
He proposes to make winters cam
paign against the Indians, which is
the only manner in which they can be
successfully punished. He will have
no wagon of commissary stores. The
pack train is to accompany the cavalry
to carry their supplies while pursuing
the Indians. AZ s9on as the pack al-
imals are lightened Of their loads the
animals are to be killed and the caval-
ry to pack what foo / they can on their
horses. When the food is gone they
are then to kill their horses aud eat
herss meaE, and s,ill keep up the pur-
suit of the Indians. who when over
taken, are to get such chastisement
as will teach them for once in many
years they are to receive a dose of
medicine that was formerly admins
tered to them by Sully and Harvey" "

Death of Hon. Samuel M. Fife.

From dispatch received by one Of
his relatives. we learn that Judge
Samuel NJ. Fite died on the % inst.
at Hot Springs, Arkansas. He had
been suffering for several months from
gout of the stomach, and had gone to
Hot Springs in hope of recovering his
health.
y fatality that has in it something
OF the awful would seem TO be con-
nected with the representation of the
Fourth Congressional District. The
late John w. Head was chosen at the
regular election in November of last
/ year as a member of the Forty fourth
Congress, and.. d..died few weeks after
ward. On the 31st of December Judge
Fite was chosen to fill the vacancy, and
now he has been called to his last ac-
count. Neither occupied the seat to
which he was elected
Judge Fite was born and reared in
DeKalb county, asd was in the 57th
year of his age. He received his edu-
cation in Clinton College, In Smith
county, under the able tuition of DIR.
Frank Gordon and Judge james b.
Morris. His father. Jacob Fite, was
successful merchant and farmer of
Dekalb county,
Graduating with distinction, Judge
Fite spent several years as a teacher
in Enon College, Sumner county In
that capacity, he was distinguished for
his learning, perseverance, and kindly
disposition.
After having studied law, he raised
himself to a prominent position in the
profession. He removed to Carthage,
entered into a Law partnership with
the late Gov. w. b. Campbell, and
continued to practice with him until
1947, when Gov. Campbell was elected
Circuit Judge.
In 1S49 Judge Fite was elected State
Senator from Sumner and Smith coun-
ties, and in 1852 served as Presidential
Flector on the Scott ticket. On the
death of Judge John l.. Goodall. in
1858. he was appointed Circuit Judge
by the Governor. At the election
which followed he was retained on the
bench by large majority, and held
the position until the breaking out of
the war.
In the spring of 1869, on the eleva-
ton of Judge Andrew Mclean to the
Supreme Bench, Judge Fite was ap-
pointed By Governor Senter to ell the
vacancy. Soon afterward an election
was ordered, aud be was again chosen
by handsome majority. After the
adoption of the new constitution, an
other election has held. and in 1870 he
was reelected for the third time-this
time for eight years,
He was prominent candidate be-
fore the Gubarnatorial Democratic
Convention of last year, and on Dec.
81, was elected to Congress frcm the
Fourth District, In the place Of Hon.
John w. Head. deceased. During the
war he sympathized strongly with the
South, and in 1863 was imprisoned by
Gen. Payne for his adherence to her
cause.
For great many years Judge Fite
had been an exemplary member of the
Methodist Church he was married
and had an interesting family. He
was one of seven brothers, all of whom
stood high in their respective voca-
tions. He was regarded as probably
the best common law lawyer and
Judge in Tennessee, or perhaps in the
country, and was noted for his learn
ing and ability, and his uprightness
and -modesty. Had he lived, he would
have made an abe and faithful Rep
reseDtative in Congress.-Nashriite

The Secret Of French Recuperation.

When we examine closely into the
practical life OF the population Of
France, her vast recuperstiye powers
cease to cause wonder. Farm schools"
are now an institution Of fixed power
in her economy. Since their estab-
lishment, nearly ten Thousand pupils
have attended the instructions given.
forty -four per cent. of whom have be-
come farmers or gardeners. There are
now thirty-three schools in actual op-
Grafton, with ST. pupils. The term of
study is not the same in all. but varies
according to the grade, some requiring
three years, while others have but two.
Thus while Germany educates her
males for soldiers, France makes hers
tillers of the soil. And if she there
by pays to-day for her neighbor's
strength, who viii dORbt that she is
gaining upon it, surely if slowly? The
producer Isast always grow stronger;
the consumer may do so.

There is an old lady living in the
town of Zebulon. Ga, who is famous
for an implicit belief IN the truth OF
every story she tells. without reference
10 the impressions she creates upon
the minds of hearers. She had lately
lost COW, and in telling her neighbOr
where it was found, said, You
know them punkins o ours? Well,
the vines Of ,hem punkIns growed
rieatacr our creek. and they growed
so thick and so heavy you could GROSS
on en- just ike log. My husband
he walked acrost them punkin vines,
thinkin' to hunt our COW. when be
heerod sunthin a chawmpin an a
chawmpin around him, and he listened
to heer what il was, when what do
you think? He spied one of them
thar punkins what growed on them
vines, and thar he found our COW had
bit inter it on one side. and had gone
so fur into it he couldn't see her tail,
but found her eatin' her way thro the
other side.
