RELICS OF KEARSARGE.
A Lot Piled Up In a Junk Shop and
Offered For Sale.
Special 20 the Ne,os

Special 10 the Ne,os
| NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Valuable relics
OF the United States corvette Kesrsarge
which was wrecked on Roncador Reef
lie in the Junk shop of John Dunn at
South street. The schooner Alice
Curtis, Captain Eldrige =. Bod
den, brought 1900 pounds oi
the wrecksge from Little Caymsn. Capt.
Bodden notified the custom house, and
the material was admitted free of duty,
but no effort was made by the Federal
authorities TO recover the relics of the his
toric ship.
The most interesting relic is a truck
from which, II is said, the American flag
hoated when the ship sank the Alabama.
III bears the mark "Kars." The
tops OF powder cans lie among the stun
bearing the inscription: "ModsI 1854,
g., w. N. Y" The cans were made of
copper, and would hold from 200 to 800
pounds. There are several gun blocks,
gun levers, wheels and trucks
Tor the guns. Three steam gusRcs
marked American Steams Zip Guage Com
Pany," and two deck pumps marked az.
D. Navy Yard, N. "" a hand pump, 1000
pounds OF blunt copper bolts, twisted and
warped, are among the wreckage.
Other relics are: A part of her steam
whistle, ring bolts, chains, steam pipes,
chocks, ratings, scuppers, and the ships
knees. One OF the pieces of wreckags il q
wheel, which was used In the eleysting
and lowering OF gun. The metal IL COW
cred with rust.
The natives OF Little Cayman recovered
nearly all of the wreck. Portions of it
are said to have been sold at high prices to
individual relic hunters. The last reports
from Roncador are that not remnant
OF the boat can be found. The value
OF the fotsam and jetsam was quickly
realized by the native divers, and a high
price was asked for the material at first.
The lack of interest OF the authorities
compelled Captain Bodden to sell his cargo
for junk.
Dunn, the Junk dealer, bought the
wreckage as a speculation, but as Uncle
Sam did not enthuse over il, he intends
to sell 1t merely as junk. The material
is in good condition.

Daily Cooking Hint.

BRINE THAT PRESERVES BUTTER A
YEAR-To three gallons OF brine strong
enough to bear an egg, add one-quarter
pound good loaf sugar and one Ia ble-
spoonful OF saltpetre; boil the brine, and
when 1t Is cold strain carefully. Pack
butter closely in small jars and allow the
brine to cover the butter to the de pth OF
at least four inches. This completely ex-
cludes the air. II practicable make your
butter into small rolls, wrap each care
fully in clean muslin cloth, tying up
with string; place a weight over the
butter to keep it all submerged In the
brine. This mode is most recommended
by people who have tried both.

Correspondence Of the Argus
Oar farmers arc cutting their

good crops according to the acreage.
We Predicted that Hill would be
the only man to vote against The
Wilson Tariff Bill among the Dem
ocrats. We bad many who ignored
the idea, but tho matter is settled.
and who was rightY
We would like for some Of our
Republican wool howlers to look on
the first column of the 10th page Of
the Pittsburgh christian Adp0cato,
July 9th, and see the price OF sheep
at the Central Yards, and also see
the quotations from tho American
Wool Reporter, which reads ms fol-
lows "The present position Of
wool Is most remarkable, the price
heing the lowest ever reached, not
only in this country, but all over
the world, and most all our me-
dunn domestic woods, grading quar-
ter blood and below, are actually
cheaper than competing woods in
the London market Cess Me dDty)
with freight and other expenses
added. Wooden manufacturing is
also in an abnormal and unprece-
dented condition." The Reporter
regards the panic of 1892 as the
primary cause Of the depression,
which was caused bv Republican
tariff legislation. The Reporter
seems TO be correct in ITS statements,
and here we have the cause aud
the effect. We take the London
market az the basis. We subtract
the duty and we have the price of
our own wool, aud then if we add
the duty we hive the price that
would have been had there been no
duty.

place, and while many Of our poo

to be by far the best off.
Our young Doctor has one pa
tent who is not sick by any means,
yet he deems it expedient to see
that she has some one TO sit up

trust that when be gets his new car
