Why 1 should have been so btiad I can not understand. I consulted the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the famed mineral swings ia America aad traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worse. 2Co two physicians agreed aa to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritatioa: another, dyspepsia: another, heart-disease; another, general debility; another, congestion of tke base of the brain; aad so on through a long list of

The Great Eastern, the largest vessel ever constructed, is to be at New Orleans during the Exposition.

The Citv of Rome, theAnxona, and Cimbria
are simply giants compared with tno ships built twenty years ago; but the greatest changes are in the engines, for in war ships these are becoming more twwerful in each new addition to the foreign navies. The largest engine, now afloat is that of the Italia, which is of ten thousand horse-power. But the Amphkm. a new war vessel to be added in time to the English navy, is to have an ennne of nineteen thousand horeiw.we There is a good deal of appre
hension about the speed of the new war vessels we are building. It is admitted thev will be slower than the fastest hnglisk fcteamships; but they will probably be much faster than any English war vessels. This is an important tact, as in ease of war our navy will bt? so small that the natural desire of its ollicers will be to get away from the enemv.
