THE CITY OF NEW YORK"


The City of New York, after occupy
ing ten months in construction, was
launched in the Clyde on March 10,
1883, and christened by one OF the
loveliest women in England, an Ameri-
can, Lady Randolph Churchill. This
vessel. which is not only the largest
and most elegantly fitted passenger
ship atiOat, but also the safest, was
built by James and George Thomson
of Clydebank for the Inman company
at a cost OF over 81 100000. She is
$50 feet in length, 63 feet wide. and
IO,5 tonnage She is the only pas
senger steamer afioat that has twin
screws with two entirely separate sets
Of boilers. These are all placed in sep
arate water-tight compartments, so
that, no possible accident can entirely
disable her machinery. she has 20
absolutely water-tight compartments,
SO that even ii 100 feet OF her bottom
were ripped off she would still float
and her fires in some OF the nine boil
ers would still remain alight. An idea
of her immense size may be gathered

over l 900 incandescent electric lights.
The first cabin dining-saloon accom-
modates 300 persons at one time,
while she can carry i'm comfort 45O
first and $50 second cabin passengers
at each trip. She is almost entirely
built of steel, there being over 10000
separate pieces OF the metal in her
makeup, which weigh about 1000
tons. Her steerage apparatus is newly
invented and not liable to accident,
and she is fitted with IL novelty in the
shape of a chamber to prevent rolling
Perhaps the most wonderful thing
about her is that she has two separate
hulls, built one inside the other, SO

Blaine's Opinion.

NEW York, Aug. ia Washington
special to the Post this afternoon
says: The attention OF member Oi
the committee ON finance was called
this morning to a published statement
that Blaine had sent message to
Washington through senator Hale,
that it was inexpedient for the repub-
lhans Of the senate to report a tariff
bill. He said: This report is true in
no particular. 1t is "A fact. however.
that IA prominent republican, who did
see Mr.. Blaine in New York and talked
with him on tariff matters, did bring
a message to the committee that Mr.
Blaine does not see that the republi-
cans of the senate have any alterna-
tive except to prepare and report a
tariff bill That is the only suggestion
that has come to the committee as to
the views Of Mr.. Blaine on the subject. y

[Great Falls Tribune.
Col. Broadwater, president OF the
Montana Central, arrived last evening
from Helena on the regular tram.
Here he met Chief Engineer Becker,
and together with Engineer Whitcomb
they left Immediately for a point on
the Sand Coulee branch, where Frank
Erwin was i'm waiting with a good team
to take them to Belt creek and over
the prospective route OF the Great
Falls & Belt Mountains railroad. The
intention is to make a general recog-
nizance, and it is not improbable that
the party will return this evening.
A Tribune representative met Col.
Broadwater at the depot last evening
and received from him confirmation
strong as proofs OF holy writ" that the
Belt Mountains railroad would be
built, and built right away. 1--WE are
going right into the mining camps,
said he. "and expect that this Will De
the most important ore railroad IN
Montana. This fall we expect to build
to u point as near the principal MIN
ing camps as we can go, but just where
that is cannot say now"
You must have unlimited cOnh-
dence in the Belt mountain mines,
suggested the reporter.
n never have been wanting in conf
dence i'm them, and the Developments
that will follow our present undertake
ing will show that it is well fOundeh.

Tho Family Support.

The first object of every farmer should
be to make support for himsel and family
By this we mean that he should grow up
on his farm as many of the necessary sup
plies as he can. He should certainly grow
ell the meat, bresdstuffs, vegetables and
fruits, that the family will need and also
the wool, and cotton and leather, the butter
and cheese and the honey and the sweets
for the year, as far as may be. 1t is far bet
ter and cheaper to grow these things at
home, than it is to grow only one two spe
cial crops, and depend upon the sale of
these to furnish the means of buying all the
numerous family Decessaries. There would
not be SO much over-production in the
country, and consequently the prices of the
money crops of the land would not be so
ruinously and ridiculously low, if all the
farmers would make it their leading rule to
grow the family living. and as far as posi-
bic, the daily clothing at home.
This important principle of domestic
economy is too much lost sight of, G. eatly
to the detriment of the farmer himselfand
the whole brotherhood of farmers. With
every farmer in the land producing crops to
sell as his leading idea, it is no wonder that
the markets are glutted and the prices are
down. By this practice farmers are putting
themselves at double disadvantage-forc-
ing themselves to sell low, and to be large
buyers of things that they themselves
should produce. They are but making for
tunes for others and misfortunes for them
selves.
As 1t is now about time to be laying
plans for another year, We urge farmers to
take this matter under consideration. Let
them take a comprehensive view of the sit
nation, compute the aggregate returns from
ha a Q ho
amount of the various supplies they will
have to buy during the winter and spring,
and then reflect whether this or that course
would have been better for them.
II each farmers family had 100 bushels OF
sweet potatoes, 20 bushels of Irish pota' IS,
pork, sausage and lard enough for family
consumption, coru bread at will, and egg :,
vegetables, and preserved fruits as much
as might be necessary. also milk and butter
daily, there would DO little else in the eat.
ing line TO call for. Flour, sugar, tea and
coffee, with few items of small amount
would be all else required, and the store
bill would be much shorter and more man
ageable.
Every farmer may surely do this much
to meet Tie necessary family supplies. He
might reduce the list Of purchases three
fourths at least, and By ceasing to be 2
buyer of nearly everything he consumed,
would have to buy but little. Aud if ev-
cry farmer would do this, the aggregate Of
the cotton, tobacco, wheat, peanuts and
other money staples would be so reduced
as to keep them in demand at good and
paying prices The farmers debt would
grow less annually, and his family com.
forts be vastly augmented and improved.

cannot get sufficient holiday, the best sub

When my little Johnny,
Least one in the flock,
Etarted first to school,
Sharp at eight o'clock,
Oh, how chirp and bonnie
Was the little man
Books and slate SO cunning,
Strapped up spic and spani
High-top boots SO jolly,
Clothes SO dude and trim
Navy cap so natty.
Dark eyes under brim;
All his heart was beating.
Full ofjoy and fun;
On the road to knowledge
Went my youthful son.
When my little Johnny.
Slow and very surly,
Red his eyes and swollen,
Damp his hair so curly,
Kept in late for lessons,
Came at halfpast four.
All his clothes were muddy.
Cap-brim hathaway tore,
Scratched his face and grimy;
School books quite a sig ht.
All things tokened plainly
Boys just had O fight:
Ali my little Johnny,
Hard the race to run
Life has many pitfalls,
School days just begun.
