ENGL.4ND'S MONsTER W4R-sHIP.

On the goth of this menth, if nothing
goes wrong in the mean time, there will
be launched at Portsmouth the most
powerful iron-clad ship ever constructed.
This is the ship Infexible. She may
be considered as the latest result of the
efforts made to prove that ship may be
built strong enough to resist the most
powerful guns. The five most powerful
ships now in existence are the Monarch,
which has an armor ten inches thick, and
which carries four guns of twenty-five
tons each: the Thunderer, which has
fourteen inches of armor and four guns
of thirty-eight tons; Peter the Great,
with fourteen inches of armor and four
guns of thirty-five tons the Redoubta-
BILE, with twelve inches of armor and four
guns of twenty-five tons the Indepen-
denzia, with twelve inches of armor and
six guns of thirty-five tons. But the
Inaexible, which is larger of tonnage than
any of these, has an armor twentys{our
inches thick, and carries Cor will carry
four guns of eighty-one tons each. She
is three hundred and twenty feet long,
seventy-five feet wide; she will draw
twenty-five feet of water and she is ex-
pected to sail at the rate of fourteen
knots an hour. No ship has yet been
made to carry such immense guns as
those which will be placed on the Inflex-
ible: they will discharge projectiles
weighing fourteen hundred pounds and
they are loaded by hydraulic machinery.
The whole equipment of the ship is
monstrous.-London Cor. N. Y. Graphic.

since 1856 deserves attention:

During the last six months the num-
Der of failures has been five thousand two
hundred and eleven and the liabilities
one hundred and tbirty-four million dol
lars. This aggregate was exceeded dur
ing twelve months in 1857, in 1861, and
in 1878, 1874, and 1875, but not in any
other year. During the three years and
one quarter embraced in the present pc
riod of commercial disaster the number
of failures has been twenty-one thousand
five hundred and fifty-nine and the La
bilities six hundred and forty-nine mil
lion four hundred and forty-two thou
sand five hundred and five dollars The
three years 1879 saw only thirteen
thousand and seventy failures, with liza
bilities of four hundred and fifty-one
million eight hundred and ninety-three
thousand dollars ;!the three years 1902
saw only twelve thousand three hum
dred and eighteen failures, with liabili-
ties of three hundred and ten million
sixty-six thousand and three hundred
dollars, and the three years 1902,
though years of comparative prosperity,
witnessed ten thousand five hundred and
thirty-fve failures, with liabilities of two
hundred and ninety-four million five
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Re-
membering that there were comparative
ly few failures during the first quarter
of 1873, we may fairly say that within
the past three years the number of
killed and wounded in the battle of COM
merce has been greater than during the
four worst years Of all our preceding his

To ALL, particularly invalfds, spring is trying
season. Indications Of sickness should at once be
attended to- Fatal diseases may be caused by al
lowing the bowels to become constipated, and the
system to remain in disordered condition. until
the disorder has time to develop ITSELF An ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure, is an old and
truthful saying Therefore, advise all who are
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache, indigestion, disordered liver want Of ap-
petite, nausea, feverish skin, to take, without
delay Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know of no
remedy harmless and decisive in its action 1t
strikes at the root of the disease and produces
a healthy tone to the system. People never need
suffer from any disease arising from disordered
condition of the liver if they would take this excel
lent medicine when they feel the first indications OF
the n,alady. Families leaving home for the sum.
mer months should take three four boxes of these
pills with them. They have an almost instantaneous
effect. They will relieve the patient OF headache in
one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the livel
of surrounding bile, and will effectually prevent
bilious attack. They sold by all druggists.

THE THREE GREAT CAPITALISTS.
New York Cor. TROY Times.


Nature, as it would seem, delights in
triplets. There were three Graces, as
well as three Furies. The guardian dog
of the lower regions had three heads.
Three is a potent number among con-
jurers, and is indispensable in the rule of
proportion. A dream thrice repeated is
sure of fulfillment. All of these things
bear upon the fact that this city had
three great capitalists-Astor, Wander
bilt, and Stewart. Each of these had
his special gift, the first being great in
real estate, the second in stocks, and the
third in trade. Each being supreme in
his realm, there was no interference or
clashing of interests, and there is no
record that this trio of magnates ever
met The circle is now broken by the
deaths both of the first and the last,
leaving the Commodore in solitary dis
tinction. l may add that extreme age
and other unfavorable sigEs now tell
severely upon his once powerful frame.
He has lately been so i'll as to require a
surgical operation, since which he has
been permitted to leave his room, but
appears feeble. His physician is DIR.
Lindsey, an old-fashioned practitioner
of high rank. The disease is the same
which has given William (his SOM SO
much trouble. The Commodore has
been out as far as his stable, which could
easily be done, since the buildings are
very near each other. His death would
naturally create as great an embarrass-
ment in stocks as that of Stewart has in
his own extensive realm. The depres-
sion in the Vanderbilt lines show that
there is q determined effort against this
lordIy house which, in case of the Com
modore's death, will be urged with ire
mendous power. Jay Gould can only
rise to o higher reach of ambition by the
fall of such as are before him, and the
fact that William HI. Vanderbilt went
south in pursuit of health encourages
the foes of the family. William has re-
turned much improved and is now at
tending to his duties. The death of
Aston and of Stewart within six months
removes the representatives of capital
to the amount of 100000, 900, and is
the beginning of the crumbling of those
vast estates. In a few years their history
will but renew the lesson Pope gave the
world century and half ago:
Estates have wings and hang in fortunes
power,
Loose on the point of every wavering hour,
Ready by force or of your own accord,
By sale lat least by deatb), to change their
lord.
Man? and forever? wretch, what wouldst
thou have?
Heir urges heir, like wave impelling wave.
Link towns to towns with avenues of oak,
Inclose whole towns in walls; tits all joke.
memorable death shall level all,
And trees and stones and farm and farmer RS

the west, were spoken of, and the New
Yorker based his wager on the belize
that, although the mustangs might be
able to do all that was said of them on
the Pacific slope, they could not endure
the change of climate, food and water,
inseparablc from visit here. Never
theless they have endured it, having
made a twenty-six days journey from
Visalia to Jersey City, over the plains,
making one dead run of fifty-two hours
between Ogden and Laramie, and resting
in corrals filled with snow, and they are
in such prime condition that their owner
Is willing to put them on the track in
twenty-four hours.
The odds in the wager have been given
to the Californian in consideration of the
heavy expenses of purchase and transfer
These have amounted to more than

UnIimitea Remedial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that DIR. Pierce's
Family Medicines represent the entire extent
of his resources for curing disease. This is an
error. Experience proved that while the
Golden Medical Discovery, Favorite Pre-
scription, Pleasant Purgative Pellets, Com.
pound Extract of Smart Weed :, and DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, would. if faithfully used,
cure q large variety of chronic complaints,
there would be here and there a case which,
from its severity, or from its complication
with other disorders, would resist their action.
These exceptional cases required a thorough
examination into their symptoms, to ascer-
tain the exact nature and extent of the dis
ease or diseases under which the patient was
laboring, and the use of specific remedies to
meet and overcome the same. This led to the
establishment of the Worlds Dispensary, at
Buffalo, N. Y, with its Faculty of Physicians
and Surgeons, each of whom is skilled in the
treatment of chronic disorders in general
and those belonging to his own special de-
partment in particular. To one is assigned
diseases of the throat and lungs; to another,
diseases Of the kidneys and urogenital or
gans; to another, diseases of the digestive
system to another, diseases of the nervous
sy stem and to another, diseases of the eye
and ear. Thus the highest degree of perfec-
ton in medicine and surgery is attained.
The establishment of this institution enables
the Doctor to meet a long-felt want in the
treatment of the more severe chronic affec-
tons. BY a careful consideration OF the
symptoms as given in writing, he successfully
treats thousands of Uses at their homes.
Others visit the Dispensary in person. The
amplest resources for the treatment of linger-
ing affections are thus placed at the disposal
of every patient, and those on whom the pro.
prietory medicines do not have the desired
effect can procure more thorough and eff
cent course bv a personal application to the
proprietor of the Worlds Dispensary.

FAILURES.

Twenty-eight hundred failuresi in three
months! The statement would hardly
be credited but for the established repu-
tation for accuracy of Mr.. Wiman, whose
quarterly circular has just been issued.
In number, the failures reported by this
agency for the quarter ending March 81,
exceed those of any previous quarter
since its valuable records have been pub
lished. The nearest approach was in the
last quarter of 1875, when the failures in
the United States numbered 2,4O5. The
total for the last six months is 5,211, a
number exceeded by only three full
years in our history. In magnitude of
liabilities, however, the failures of the
first quarter of 1876 fall below those of
the last quarter of 1875 by six millions.
Comparisons, in this case, are decided y
odious butquite instructive, and the fol-
lowing statement of failures and liabili-
ties since 1856 deserves attention:

CENTENNIAL TIlIPIRES,

Our friends from the interior. coming
up next month to the centennial, must
expect to find many salient points in the
exhibition of which no hint has been
given them in the programme, or even
in newspapers reports. Where the prey
is, there will the vultures be gathered
together; and even at this early date,
Philadelphia is the central toward which
not only pick-pockets and rufiians of the
baser sort are bending their steps, but
the higher class of confidence men and
women, that happy-go lucky, audacious,
intelligent gang who hover on the con-
fines of society, like robber-crabs living
on their wits and the stupidity of other
people. The worlds exhibitions in other
countries have always attracted these
professional free bcoters, and they APP
pear to be especially sanguine of success
in this country, where money is sup
posed to be plenty and innocence I'M
suspicious. Strange women in foreign
attire already puzzle the eyes of sober
Quakers; the London detectives, who
arrived last week, declare that they
meet as many faces familiar to their
Rogues' Gallery in Chestnut street, as
they would in the strand. The neigh
borhood of the centennial buildings is
set off with every inducement to vice;
private houses are besieged by new va
rites pf shameless beggars. Asthe crowd
increases, the temptation and chances of
attract more of these out
laws. We warn our country friends

THE COMING MUST ANG RACE

Within ninety days from the I'd of
March last, and within one hundred
miles of New York city, on track not
yet selected, there is to be mustang race
against time of three hundred miles, to be
performed within fifteen hours. Relays
of mustangs, not more than thirty in
number, are to be used, and the whole
distance TO be made is to be ridden by
one man. The feat is to be performed
with all the adjuncts of California sad
dies, Mexican spurs, Spanish bits, free
rein: The wages are $4,000 against
$15 900.
The horses purchased in Visalia, CAL,
arrived at Jersey City, on the 18th ult,
and are on their owners farm in New
Jersey being prepared for the race. They
are the ordinary, rough-coated, shaggy
named California mustangs, wild as the
north wind, vicious as any Jezehel, and
hardy as the summit of Sierras. Under
the conditions of the wager they are to
be CRASHED up to the day of the race,
and to be taken without choice, except,
of course, a regard for physical sound
ness, from the Visalia stock yards.
These terms have been complied with to
the letter. Their rider is a Mexican,
famous in the far west as horseman, one
of the most daring riders that ever car
ried the mails into south California. In
addition to himself are three other horse
men, who are prepared to mount should
anything happen to him. II ere are six
extra horses, in the event of any acct
dent to one, and each of the jockeys has
his own personal accoutrements.

4 CRUEL FASHION.


There is no lady deserving of the name
who could witness without a feeling of
horror the process of preparing for use
the feathered beauties which form such
conspicuous ornaments in the present
style of women's hats. If those who wear
such ornaments knew the tortures to
which these helpless little creatures are
subjected, and the heartless cruelty with
which the business is carried on, they
would shrink from even indirect COM
plicity in it. OF course the impression
prevails that all birds used for personal
decoration are killed Immediately when
caught and prepared in the ordinsxy way
by texidermists but here is just where
the mistake isma!e. The birds are taken
alive, and while living the skin is skill
fully stripped from their quivering,
CHASTITY bodies. By this process it is
claimed the feathers retain a firmer hold
upon the skin. Such is the method by
which all birds used in the decoration of
ladies' hats are repaired. Think of the
exquisite humming bird, the blue bird,
the cardinal bird, the oriole, and num-
berless Others of beautiful plumage,
struggling beneath the knife of the heart
less operator; think of this, tender
hearted ladies, as your admiring gaze
rests on the latest novelties in fashion by
which our city bellies are crowned Hun
dreds of thousands of birds of the bright
est plumage are literally flayed alive
every year, and so long as our ladies will
consent to wear such ornaments, just so
long will this cruel business continue.
The Baroness Burdett-Coutts has placed
herself at the head of a movement in
England designed to put an end to the
brutal business, and it is to be hoped
that she will meet with cordial encour-
agement and cooperation on this side of
the Atlantic.

DOM PEDRO MEETS An INDIAN.

A correspondent who accompanied
Dom Pedro II, and the Brazilian impe-
rial party west from Salt Lake City, re-
lates the following incident in the San
Francisco Chronicle: At each station
where the train stopped fer any length
of time the Emperor jumped nimbly
from the car and strobe up and down the
platform, gazing at everything there was
to be seen and returning the stares of
little throngs with interest. At Hum
boldt station the most amusing occur
renee of the trip took place. Natchez,
chief of the Piutes, who with number
of his followers had ridden on the train
from Winnemucca, pressed with leering
grin up to the side of the imperial car
and hailing the conductor. cried out,
HE, you! were you capiten? You
savee. I look him; me capiten, too"
The Emperor emerged from his car,
and observing the Piute chief with the
grinning face laughed audibly, and asked
him what tribe he belonged to.
Natchez answered the question civilly,
and smilingiy rcciprocated with the fol-
lowing: You savee, what tribe you
capiten?"
The Emperor did not deign to commu-
nicate the desired information, but an
swefed with chRckle. He asked him
how many papooses he>had, illustrating
his question with motheriy undulating
movement of his locked arms. Natchez
held up two of his fingers, and with true
Indian persistence asked the same ques-
ton: "Capiten, papoose you how
muchee?'
He was answered only by an imperial
laugh, which evinced hearty apprecia-
ton of the humor of the scene. The en-
peror continued his inquiries, most of
which were aimed at the numbers, con-
dition, and disposition of the Piute
nation, and ended with inquiring:
"Natchez, how many sauaw you
got?"
The Indian chief distended his eyes,
and throwing up his arms with ring
ing laugh, remarked to the bevy of by
ISLANDERS:
"Oh, he capiten, he bad man; he
talkee squaw; he heap bad man."
The emperor returned into the privacy
of his car amidst roar of laughter,
above which the melodious roar of Nat
chez was readily distinguishable.
