A missionary steamer, whose hull
and machinery weigh only six tons, is
now moored in the Thames in Lon
don. The vessel is named Peace,
and has been built for the Baptist
Missionary Society,who destined it for
the service of the mission in the up
per reaches of the Congo river. The
boat can be taken to pieces readily for
transport purposes, and the total num-
Der of pieces, none of which would be
too heavy for a man to carry, would
be 800. The greatest possible use
has been made Of all available space,
and the two cabins have been admira
bly, fitted. A kitchen adopted for .
stove and other cooking appliances
forms part of the equipment. A
substantial awning covers the dock,
and between this and the sides of the
vessel wire awning is fitted to stop
arrows and other missiles. 1t is in
tended to take the steamer to pieces,
and pack the sections in boxes, which
will be sent to the mouth of the Con-
go. From thence they will be borne
by 500 men a distance of 800 miles
up to Stanly Pool, where the steamer
will be reconstructed by missionaries.

Herbert Spencer, during his
stay in this country, has kept very re-
tired, and but once ventured on the
expression, in print, of al opinion
upon US and our institutions; but if he
had done nothing else than deliver
that homily on ovcrwork which he
presented at the farewell dinner at
Delmonico's, New York, a few days
ago, Americans would ever have to be
grateful to him. He thinks that over
work is killing the present generation.
1t makes them prematurcly gray, pre-.
maturely old, and is INJECTING its
mark on the coming and unborn gen.
GRAFTON. Insanity likewise follows in
its wake, and thus the terrible conse-
quences of imposing more on nature
than she is able to carry arc apparent.
Now,of all occupations, next to damn
ing devotion to the "ticker" which
pulsates the feverish ebb and flow of
life in Wall Street, there is nothing so
ruinous to mental and physical health
and well.being as politics. 1t requires,
indeed, a we'll balanced mind, backed
by powerful will, to remain callous
to its anxieties, many distresses and
few fulfillments of hopes; and the ir-
regular habits of living, necessary ex-
cesses in drinking and compulsory
maintenance of late hours, are sowing
the seeds of early decay in the bodies
of our politicians. The old and rapid.
ly-disappearing generation OF men
could stand such transgression Of the
laws Of nature better than we can, but
this fact only proves that men at
present have to take up and pay the
notes issued by their ancestors against
their health.

SOFTENED BY TIME.

Less than a month ago a woman
about fifty years of age walked into the
headquarters of a Georgia railroad, an
nOunced her name, and said she had
come to make a settlement.
Settlement of WHAT" asked the Su-
perintendent.
For killing my old man."
"When?"
Nine years ago yesterday"
"Where?"
about fourteen miles from Macon"
And so it proved. When the ciTcum-
stances were hunted out it was found
that she was the wife of "a deaf man who
had been killed while walking on the
track, and no one had been able to iden-
tify him.
"Why didn't you come here sOoner?"
was asked.
Just heard of it the other day." she
replied. 81 supposed the old man was
parading around somewhere and would
come home when his knees wanted new
patches"
''And what damages do you ask?"
We'll, it was long time ago, and my
grief has been sOftened up a good deal.
and l reckon that $25 and pass to At
lanta will be about right"
Settlement was made on the spot, and
she took the next train for the capital.

A CHEAP MAN.

1t is related of Brooklyn man that,
becoming tired of life, he went to we'll
known surgeon and explained his case
and added:
"There is no need of throwing my
body away. How much money will you
give for it, paying the cash over to the
Orphan Asylum"
Let me feel of your skull" replied
the surgeon, as he pushed up his sleeves,
''the price will depend altogether on
your head"
He thumped, pressed, knocked and
twisted the mans head around for two
or three minutes and then remarked:
Cant agree to give over half dollar,
my friend"
You can't?"
Cant possibly do it. I have given
your skull close examination, and l
find it almost empty. You haven't
brains enough there to make muss on
a clean table"
The cheap man isn't dead yet. He is
living to be reyenged on that surgeon.

words that greeted him.
George had been living on ham for the
last two months, and when his girl re-
ferred to that article he didn't know but
there was something hOggish-lOOking
about him.
Nothing mean or hOggish about me,
Jane; bet your bangs on that. Found n
mine up in Wood River and named it
Jane, after you"
Whatare you giving me, dear GeOrge2

girls in the Fifteenth Ward. Won't

Won't the green-eyed monster rankle in

And Jane laughed all over, and in
sisted upon carrying his blankets and
the grip-sack.
"fhat's ali right, Jane; carry this
OveTcOat, too"
How did you come to name the mine
after me, dear GeOrge?"
Because it didn't amount to any

When the grip-sack came down on his
head, George thought snow slide had
struck him, and he swears he will never
