HHH[ The William Cramp & Sons Ship Hfl||V^ and Engine Building Company of Philadelphia completed and launched ^ on 28th April a dynamite cruiser gun^ boat called Yorktown, and design^ for the United States Navy. It carries four pneumatic guns for the ' hurling of dynamite projeetives, each with a range of at least a mile. The training of the gans is accomplished ' by steering the vessel, and the loading is all done by steam. The guns j are of 15-inch calibre, and the shells, J which can be fired with great ac caracy twice a minate, will contain J 600 ponnda of explosive gelatine, equivalent to 852 pounds of dynamite, j or 943 pounds of gun cotton. It is | claimed that this gun, properly bandied, will be the most destructive j engine of war yet Invented, for the j heaviest armored ships in the world ! will go all to pieces from the explo- | sionjof a shell moch smaller fchaD those thrown by the* guns on the ISTorktowD. These guns are designed j primarily to work oa the under, water portion of the hulls of vessels, bat if any ioaccuracy in aim shoold be developed on accoont of the pitching of the ship, great damage can be in- j fiicled upon the ball above water. A j dynamite gun made by the same con- | oern has just been made for the Itai ! ians, and will be tested at Fort Lafayette, in a few days. Leosyille S. C., and its School. Twice, within the last few months, I have had occasion to stop off at * ' Leesville. It is & beantifal town of several baodred inhabitants, located about midway between Colombia and Angnsta, on the C. C. & A. K. R. Its aitnation on the crest of the dividing ridge which forms the water shed between theCocgaree and the Savannah, makes its drainage perfect without artificial means, and renders it one of the most healthy places in the State. ^Without Aiken's fame as a health resort, it has all of Aiken's natural advantages: for healthfulness.

A syndicate, including several Georgia capitalists, has received the exolosive right for the Sontbern States of the Thompkins process for reducing vegetable fibres to paper stocky with the intention of establishing mills in all the ootton , States wid applying the process to fti^pwfraolion of paper from cotton stalks and -seed halls now practically worthless. The promoters of the enterprise claim that tbey can make good newspaper at 2 cents per pocrad, and con, ? seqaently the establishing of these mills will be made an event in the economical history of the Sonth at important as the establishing of the cotton seed industry. ? ??? .

Warning:. ^ I urge that, to be sifcoessful, our life work must be dome with our own special aim and ambition. But when I pickup, an essay that advises more ambition, and more toil, I say the writer is an idiot. The age is now oveworked. We need less work, but we nee&it wisely directed. Bailey, in Festus, is* often aprovingly quoted: ' ~ ^ '*f I know what study is?it is to toil t Hard through the hours of the midnight watch; Wring a slight sleep out of the couch; and see The self same moon, which lit us to our rest, II jr place scarce changed, perceptibly in heaven, Now iight its to renewal of our toiL This is worse than .trash; it is false, exaggerated and misleading. There is jao lack of work; -but f'tlly nine-tenths of work is wasted, It^js folly to point me to the great painter^peat.musicians and great of all sorts.. ahd to their inde fatigable toil. - They all worked to a specific end, and that was their life work. I am out of all patience with finely' worded essays that urge young men to more work. "We are now overworked and are working ourselves out of all reason. Insanity is on the increase. Cerebral troubles are our most serious ills. Our finely built nervous organisms are being, wrecked. 'The successful banker must take his bank to bed with him," was the remark of a celebrated New York financier. He must do nothing of the kind. Our worst possible bed fellows are our daily cares. We must know how to work to a point and - ho w to stop at a point. The lines quoted from Festus describe a process of committing suicide, a method of reaching intellectual confusion and weakness. This worries me more than anything else, that young people should be advised to work at night, and be encouraged to "burn the midnight oil." I say to them, sleep." If you once form a habit of crowding sleep you will find your strength departing. Vigor lies in your power tb recuperate. : ** There is no compensation for a habit of sleeplessness. More good work can be done in one hour after a sound night's rest than in ten hours when one should bo asleep. "I can do nothing," said ! Grant, 4-without eight hours' sleep." Jarues Fields said late in life, "If I were a boy again, I would keep better hours; that is, I would go to bed earlier than i most boys.do. Nothing gives more men-* tal and bodily vigor than sound rest when properly applied. If we sit up late we decay; and sooner or later we oontract insomnia. Late hours are shadows of the grave." I do not press this point because I inherit a Puritan prejudice, but have a physician's conviction, founded on wide experience. If you are ambitious to do a true, stout, manly work, apply your energies all along the line of the years in one direction, or in few directions, and never crowd the brain to undue exertion when it is weary.?M. Maurice, M. D., in Globe-Democrat Invented by a Woman. There are many instances where women have "invented" articles for convenience and of practical usefulness, for which a- patent has never been applied, though not the less patentable or appreciated, as the following instance, which shows not only the ability but the genius with which she is by nature endowed. The article was devised (?) by a woman in Connecticut, the fatherland of inventive genius and Yankee ingenuity, the land of steady liabits, wooden clocks, wooden nutmegs and red oak hams. The lady was one day using the carving knife, which probably, from tbo frequent contact with bones and the stovepipe, which a woman generally uses for a cteel, with uncertain results, had become rather dull, and the handle of winch, in her frantic efforts to "carve dat possum," twisted about and hurt her delicate digits. At last., aftef several desperate and hazardous attempts, she turned sharply to her better half, who sat by calmly viewing the situation, and probably .reflecting on thtefjK&oes of' life ami-death and the _ a square, fneal, and v about and hurt so?' With fear and trembling lest his answer should causb liis irate spouse to scalp him on the spot, the good man answered that he could not. "Well I can, *' was the reply, and with the impetuosity proverbial lier sex she left the. room and soon rt/ turned with a triumphant air and a pier of putty, which she soon had shap^* to fit her hand, and, holding it up J* to? admiring, though crestfallen, loA said: "There, that's call vhandle.M | Although 110 patent hasey* bfcen applied for, these bandies, ^vented by a woman, are in great demand, and thouT _ wkn^A P/V4A? sail (is are anniia I ly i uauo.?j^vdia/u. Budget. / v 1 if? Colored Cl^e"8' Excursion. With the runA^g of the first excursion train in. the spring the old nomadic instinct awaked in the bosom of the colored citizens. They must go somewhere. The -destination is of Zittle moment, the journey is everything. To the pine woods of Mississippi, among the villages, of the Gulf coast, even to the penitentiary at * Baton Rouge, they swarm upon the legate tar ^excursion days. No matter how sultry "tb? wither, they pack into the cars, an indiscriminate mass of shouting men, struggling women and shrieking babies; and, wherever'their journey may j terminate, they are allowed for that day 1 almost exclusive possession of the town. Evening comes. The whistle sounds, and all who purpose returning crowd upon the train. Few, howeveh, are the parties of excursionists who do hot leave some of their number in durance, souvenirs to the town which they have visited of an exciting day.?Cor. New York Post. _________ . ______ Th? Journalises Profession. A famous editor said: U1 was first a college graduate, then a reporter, and then an editor; but I ought to have been able to stop after I had been two years in the office and gone back to study international law, history and languages; it would have beefi worth a large capital to me. A man does not find out what he neecls to know until he has been at actual work in journalism for a year or two." Probably no profession at the present time requires a greater combination pf native tact?'with intense application and _ wide culture. ?M The burstine: of a creosote tank at the I freight yard of the Midland railway at | !
