THE MINNESOTA.
The Largest Ship That Carries the Flag.

The greatest cargo-carrying ship i'm the
world Is the Minnesota, whose measure
mcnt has just been completed by tbs Blu
reau OF Navigation at Washington, ID. c.
ms gives her gross tonnage of 2D,71S,
which exceeds that of any other vessel in
the world She is one of the vessels built
for the Trans-Pacific traffic, and will ply
between Seattle and China She has al
ready started for Seattle with a cargo of
LOO tons of coal, in order to give her
steadiness and pay her expenses.
The Minnesota, although not so long as
her otner steamships, is the largest Ameri
can-built ship and the largest ship flying
the Stars and Stripes. Although not OF
SO great length as six other steamships,
the Minnesota is deeper than any other
vessel. The Minnesota has the greatest
freight-carrying capacity. Her extreme
breadth Is exceeded by that of only three
other vessels. Her enormous cargo-carry-
ing capacity lies especially in her ire.
mendous depth
The most remarkable feature of the
new ship, and the one that made the deep
est impression on the visitors, is her great
depth, the effect, when looking down
through the upper deck hatchway to the
ships inner bottom below, being most i'm
pressive. From the outer bottom to the
navigating bridge there are IL distinct
decks or platforms. First, there is the
outer bottom of the ship: six feet above
this is the inner bottom of floor; then fol-
low the orlop, the lower, the between. the
main. and the upper decks, all of these
decks being contained within the plated
structure of the vessel, and every one of
them being built of steel plating The
whole inclosed structure is So feet in
height. Above the upper deck are the
promenade deck, the upper promenade deck.
and the boat deck, the boat deck being 25R
feet above the promenade deck or S1i2
feet above the keel; while another eight
feet above this, or 30 feet above the keel.
is the navigating bridge. Now, since the
vessel at her full draft will draw 33 feet
1t follows that the navigating bridge will
at that draft be 81 feet above the wafer
line. In the light condition in which she
entered New York Harbor, she drew some
| thing less than 20 feet, consequently the
| outer bottom of the ship; six feet above
the water and the passengers on the upper
promenade deck were about go feet above
the water-line. When we remember that
the heaviest waves seldom exceed 30 feet
in height. it follows that in the stormiest
weather the passengers on the Pacific will
be able to look down upon the Pacific roll
ers from point Of observation 30 feet
above their crests. Accommodations are
provided for so first-class passengers. 100
second-class passengers, 100 third cIass
passengers. and 1000 steerage There are
also quarters for the accommodation of
200 troops, while the total cargo capacity
is 10000 tons.

LINCOLN AND STANTON.

raging war that had divided the country
had lulled, and private grief was hushed
by the grandeur of the result. The Nation
had its new birth of freedom. soon to be
secured forever by an amendment to the
Constitution. His persistent gentleneSs
on the part of the South. His scoffers
among the grandees of Europe began to
do him honor. The iaboring classes every
where saw in his advancement their own.
All peoples sent him their benedictions.
And at this moment Of the height of his
fame. to which his humility and modesty
added charms, be fell by the hand of an
assassin: and the only triumph awarded
him was the march to the grave.
Not in vain has Lincoln lived, for he has
helped to make this Republic an example
of justice, with no caste but the caste of
humanity. The heroes who led
our armies and ships into battle and fell
vain: they and the myriads of nameless
martyrs. and he. the chief martyr, gave
up their lives willingly that Government
OF the people. by the people. and for the
people shall not perish from the EARTH"
Commander and Companions, may not,
in closing. borrow other well-known words
as fittingly applicable to our beloved Chief
Martyr:
spoke;
Who never sold the truth to serve the hour.
Nor paltered with Eternal God for power
Great in council and great in war, .
Rich in saving common sense,
And, as the greatest only are,
In his simplicity sublime.
Whose life was work, whose language rife
With rugged maxims hewn from life:
Who never spoke against foe"
To him:
'The path of duty was the way to glory
He that walks it, only thristing
For the right. and learns to deaden
Love of self, before his journey closes,
He shall find the stubborn thistle bursting
Into glossy puppies. which outredden
All voluptuous garden roses.
Let his great example stand
Colossal, seen of every land.
And keep the soldier firm, the statesman
pure:
Till in all lands, and through all human
story
The path Of duty be the way to glory;
And let the land whose hearths he saved
from shame.
For many and many an age.
At civic revel, and pomp, and game.
Attest their great Commanders claim,
With honor honor, honor, honor to him.
Eternal honor to his name"
Yea.
"Let the sound of those he wrought for,
And the feet of those he fought for.
Echo round his bones for evermore"

A Canny Widow.

Genuine Scotch canniness shines through
this story which The Philadelphia Ledger
publishes: "a widow one day in Spring
was seen by the clerk of her parish cross
ing the churchyard with a watering pot
and a bundle. 'Ah, Mistress Mactavish,
said the clerk, what's yer business wi
sic like gear as that y'are carryin'? 'Ah,
weel, Mr.. Maclachlan,' replied the widow.
I'm just goin' to my gudeman's grave.
I've got some hay seeds in my bundle,
which I'm going to sow upon it, and the
water in the can is just to gle 'em a
Spring like' The seed Wilma want the
watering rejoined the clerk. They'll
be- replied the widow, but We dinna ken
that my gudeman, as he lay a-deeing, just
got me to promise that I'd never marry
again till the grass had grown above his
grave. And, as I've had good offer made
me but yestreen, We see, / dinna like 20
break my promise, or be kept a lone widow,
