IRoS STEAMBJATs.-In view tof the nu.
merous fatal accidents to river steamers
aud excursion boats during the season Just
ended a company has been formed in New
York to remedy the lack Of system in The
present management Of excursions and to
construct iron steamboats, which will be
safe. This company Is organized with a
capital stock OF $4,000, 900, It's plan being
to build feet OF excursion steamers com.
bining safety; speed and comfort. The
boats are to be built wholly Of iron and
steel, each to be divided into twelve water.
tight compartments, and to draw not over
eight feet Of water. They will not sink
from the effects OF collision, and will be
fre.proof. The proposition Is to build
eight OF these steamers at once, and to
have q feet Of thirty ready in time
for the New York exposition Of 1888.
The projectors are Messrs. John Roach,
Cramp & Sons, RUFUS Hatch, and many
other leading capitalists, bankers and
steamboat men OF New York. The New
York Tnib,lnein in discussing the feasableness
OF this scheme, remarks:
"The building OF iron steam vessels in
this c cuntry Is comparatively OF recent
date, but the superiority Of the iron yes-
sels, even for sound and river traffic, has
already been established. When once the
iron boats are introduced they speedily
displace the wooden vessels. Itshould be
remembered that up to 1872 scarcely an
iron steamship had beer, constructed 10
this country, nor did the rolling mills and
ship yards required for their construction
then exist. The result OF an enterprise
built up since that date is that in four iron
ship. yards on the Delaware, from 1872 to
1877, there were built seventy.six iron
screw steamships Of 152, ,0SS tons, giving
employment to a crew Of 1886 men. All
these vessels are sesgoipg, and equal in
strength, speed and finish TO any OF their
class In the world. AS the object OF the
above company is the building, furnish.
ing, fitting, purchasing, charteripg, man
aging, navigating and owning steamboats,
aud other vessels to be used and employed
for carrying and Transporting passengers
and freight on the hays, rivers and other
inland waters in the vicinity of New York,
II is believed there will be q general change
from wooden 10 iron steamboats, In this
vicinity within few years; and 80 soon
as the public come to understand the
greater safety and comfort Of such vessels
they will b. preferred TO the exclusion OF
the old types for all pleasure travel"

for years past has been twenty cents on the

In the spring Of 1865, when Sheridan's

TO have last wrestle with Early's troop

Unlonforce near Waynesborough. Guards
were thrown out to protect property, and
among others the house of a lone and
aged widow received such protection.
Two dismounted cavalrymen were sta
toned at the front door, and it was half
an hour or so before any stir in and around
the house gave token that it was inhabit-
ed. Then the widow limped to the door
ON crutch and called one of the guards
to her and asked: ''What are you doing
here" ''We are guards to protect you
and your property" was the reply.
'Well, you needn't fool away any time

UNBELIEF.

There is no unbelief.
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod,
And waits to see it push away the clod,
Trusts he in God.
Whoever says, when clouds are IN the sky:
"Be patient, heart light breaketh by and by"
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees. meath winters field of snow
The silent harvest of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says: Tomorrow" "The Unknown
1.-THE Future" trusts that power alone
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when the eyelids close,
And dares to live when life has only woes,
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbelief;
And day by day, and night unconsciously,
The heart lives by that faith the lips deny:
God knoweth why.

DIsINFECTANTs As the warm wea-
ther appears. disinfcctants will be need
ed. Lime, plaster, charcoal, dry earth
and sifted ashes have value, chiefly to
be tested by the rapidity with which
they correct odors. Fresh-slaked lime
should be scattered in all places of foul
odor 1t or charcoal or plaster may be
scattered over heaps emitting foul odors.
Calx powder is made by pounding one
bushel of dry fresh charcoal and two
bushels of stone lime, and mixing them,
aud is of great practical use. All these
substances absorb foul gases and dry up
moisture. and so help to retard decom-
position, or else absorb its results.
Where lump charcoal is used, it may be
re6tted for use by re-heating it. Quick
lime and ground plaster should not be
used where they may be washed into
pipes and form lime-soap. or obstruct
by hardening.
