THE LARGEST SAILING SHIP.
The PotOsi, Recently Launched at
Bremen.

The new fve-masted sailing ship
Potosi built at Bremen, for a Ham
burg firm, was launched on the 9th
of June. The new ship is Of the fol-
lowing dimensions: Length over all,
1874 feet, (English); length between
perpendicular, 1862. feet; width
over the plating amidships, 49 feet 8
inches; depth from upper edge of
keel to under the main deck amid
ships, 81 feet q inches. Her regis
ter tonnage is 1856 tons gross and
$3.50 tons net; displacement on an
average draft of % feet, $3.50 tons;
carrying capacity, about 6150 tons.
Siemens-Martens steel is the material
of which this colossal sailer Is built,
in accordance with the regulations of
the Bureau Veritas and the English
Lloyds for the highest class and
under the special survey of those
institutions, and with extra stiffen-
ing and Strengthening arrangements
In view of the heavy masting and the
enormous wind pressure of the sails.
Two steel decks run over the whole
length of the vessel, the upper one
being lined with yellow pine, and
the fore peak, aud the bridge deck,
also of steel, covered with wood.
The collision bulkhead is of excep-
tionsl strength, and in front of this
is placed steel receptacle for the
chain cable. The structures above
the main deck comprise a short poop
deck, under which is placed the
steering apparatus, a bridge house
20 feet long, containing accommoda-
ton for a crew of about A men, a
passenger cabin, the cooks galley,
provision store, hospital and spac-
ious sailroom; then there IS a fore
castle, under which is located the
cable capstan, and which provides
storage space for lamps, oil, paint
and boatsWain's stores.
The steering of the ship Is effected
by means of an apparatus placed on
the bridge deck and furnished with
pair of teak hand wheels connected
with the steering gear under the
poop deck by means of rope Of gal
self consists of frame of cast steel,
into which a steel plate Is riveted and
the pintles are inserted. Besides the
large capstans for raising the
anchors (the latter weighing about
three tons) there are two others on
the main deck, a large one on the
forecastle, two on the bridge deck,
and small one on the poop deck,
besides Ii winches for working the
sails and loading and unloading
cargo. There are four boats provid-
ed, two of them being large iron life
boats. The ship will be rugged as a
fve-mssted bark, with double main
top and maintopgallant yards. The
masts and the larger yards are of
steel, the height of the mainmest,
from keel to truck, being 2l0 feet,
and its diameter at the deck 81 inch
es. All the standing tackle is of gal
vanized steel wire, and the running
gear partly OF wire and partly of
hemp. The spread of canvas, with
all sail set, will be equal to about
5000 square yards.
The Potosi is the largest sailing
ship at present existing, and the only
other five masted sailing vessel is the
French ship La France, of Dunkirk,
but she is of smaller dimensions than
| the Potosi.-Ex.

the man to question Bob's faith. and don't think you ought to do it, either.
 Bob is a pure Albino, and all he needs to be the peer of republicanism is hide as black as his politics; Of course BoD is genial and clever, and he is bound to be,>for if his manners were as vile and vicious as his politics he would be perse- cuted from the face of the earth, even as the poor skunk is.
 We appreciate Cuba Grey very highly, because she is so loyal to the south and writes so splendidly in defense of her people; but we are after licking the re- publicans, and ventilating war memories is just what suits them. so l ask Cuba Grey to let up on the war and let us go gunning for gold bugs and make them confess to free silver or get out in the cold.
 Cuba Grey need pay no attention to that weak salutation of a critic, Ben Ad- hem for he would rather be caught in a yarn than not to be noticed at all. She didn't say anything wrong about Tal- mage and that scribbler, Ben Adhem, must have had his ears pulled constantly at school. for they appear quite promi- nent in his silly strictures on Cuba Grey.
 Talmage and Sam Jones both belong Ito the circus part of the church-Sam be- ing the clown and Talmage the fellow that sails through the balloons. They are both smart fellows. but in different ways Sam grovels and Talmage scars. Sam calls plain folks fools, liars and skunks while Talmage pictures to the gold-bugs what lovely angels they will be. Both 'get there Eli" on the spot cash basis. Both have many friendssand many critics, and both may do some good among people who can believe that such transparent. though brilliant mountebanks are called of God"
 Ben Adhem is no match for Cuba Grey. She out-casses him, and knocked him out in the first round. He forgot about the new woman, and while Cuba Grey may not ride in boomers on a bicycle, yet her pen has the verility of developed manhood, and such a feather-weight as Ben Adhem is no more to her than nine pin is to a cannon ball.
 You wouldn't catch me criticising her if she had burnt Talmage up in his tabernacle. and I pity the little fbber Ben Adhem who had the gall to affront such queen of the quill as Cuba Grey.
 I guess Ben is little jack-leg lawyer, if he ain't he ought to be, for he has all the impudence that characterizes that pestiferous class of human varmints.
 There is no use in calling on Ben to lay aside his disguise, for in tacklng Cuba Grey he has exhibited his ears. We can easily diagnose the rest of him.

ASHVILLE.
The Ladies' Aid Society and Knights of Py
 thias Give Entertainments.

1iiihS SAb 0 Iiutcf
 Ashville, Oct 11.-(Special Correspond ence.)-Circuit court convened here on last Monday, with Hon. George E. Brewer presiding, and Solicitor B. F. Wilson at his usual post of duty, and besides there are many prominent people here from other places. In addition to having all these people among us, we have had sev- eral entertainments during the week, which afforded much pleasure for those so fortunate as to attend, and did full credit to the participants
 The ladies of the Cumberland Presby- terian church gave an oyster supper on Tuesday night at the Fulghum house. Though not so largely attended as was expected, the occasion was highly en- joyable and in every respect success.
 On Wednesday might the ladies of the Ladies' Aid society of the Baptist church gave a concert at the new acad- emy hall They were favored with a large audience. The programme was well arranged and Splendidly executed, and in a financial way it far exceeded their most sanguine expectations.
 The people of Ashville, and especially St. Clair lodge No 112, Knights of Pyth- jas, enjoyed great honor on the night of the 10th. The lodge was visited by Grand Inner Guard Jesse B. WadSworth and Ex-Supreme Representative Rivers Carter, both of Birmingham. Extensive
  lodge to entertain these visiting breth- ren and their friends. The lodge held secret session In their castle hall from to D. m., after which the members re- paired to the court house, where large audience was in waiting, and there they listened to a speech from J. B. WadS- worth. Pythianism has proud and gal lant champion in the person of MT. Wads- worth. His influence extends through out the grand jurisdiction of the state of Alabama, and much good is reasona- bly to be expected from his visit. After listening to most eloquent speech for something like an hour, the audience ad- journed to the Grant iron row, where fine oyster supper had been prepared at the expense of St. Clair lodge. Fully 200 people were present, and no means were spared by the members to make this the most pleasant feature of the exer- cises The exercises at the banquet were presided over by Chancellor Commander Yates, and after they had been formally opened Brother Rivers Carter was called upon to respond to the toast, "The Grand Lodge of the State of Alabama" which duty he performed ip the most satisfac tory manner. AS a member of the su- preme lodge of the world and ex-grand chancellor of the state of Alabama, Brother Carter stands high in Pythian- ism and his eloquent words had most pleasing effect upon his attentive hear CTS.
 St. Clair lodge feels highly comDl- mented by the presence or two Sucn prominent Pythians as Brothers Garter and Wadsworth, and will-hcartily wei come them should they ever honor it with another visit
