Shortly after Cnpt. John KricsNtin had
built the original Monitor unci her sis
ter pnntiouu, he conceived the it lea of
inventing another retel that would he

With this end in view, he tpc nt nitieh
time und money over avctoel carrying u
tmhnnirinc liattery that tinullv met with
his ideas, hut. says Harper s Weekly, the
oltl mau died before he reeeived any fa
vorable response from the government
Wu.shiii'ton. The authorities, however,
approved of the plan of the boat
for the testing of the system, and
the work was earried on by the Krics

and others, who were closely associated
with ("apt. Ericsson for manr years.
Improvements in the boat were further
made, ami the vessel, aptly named the
Destroyer, now lies at the Itrooklyn
navy-yard. She is V.O feet in length, with
12-foot beam; draught 10 feet, with a
displacement of U."0 tons. Her bow and
stern lines are exactly the same, being
straight and very sharp. The upper
deck is low, with no rail, anil from
amidships rises a long superstructure
with no openings, so that the vessel, if
required, may run with upper deck
submerged. At a distance of 32 feet
from the liovr a heavy-armorexl bulk
head, which is inclined at a ver
tical angle of ." degrees, crosses
the vessel. This is intended
as a protection to the engines
and boilers, and permits the boat to
run toward the enemy bow on. Eight
feet under water is the projectile, 27
feet 4 inches in length, and weighing
l,5i pounds. It is of steel, with a
heavy bursting charge in the forward
end, whi' h is exploded by percussion
cap. This charge is of SOU pounds, anil !
the diameter of the projectile lu I
inches. A tube runs the entire length I
of the vessel just alxive the keel, and is j
fixed with water tight gates at the bow. j
Only :;J to U pounds of powder are re
quired to prooel the torpedo, the muz
zle velocity of which is 54s feet per sec
ond. A series of trials took place near
New York recently, and the results
were extremely satisfactory. The
mechanism of the gun showed no de
fects during the firing, and the report
states that had a vessel 100 feet in
length, with a draught of 20 feet, been
stationed COO feet away, 15 out of 20
shots fired would have struck her. The
Destroyer is more effective than a ram,
although the projectile has been termed
"the detachable ram," for it is able to
achieve similar results at a distance.

buppose that this is so. Suppose that
m quica-wiueu man was far-seeing
enough to know that to cleanse the
blood was to cleanse the life. Suppose
that by many experiments, and after
many failures, he discovered this golden
key to health and that his faith in it for
you is so strong that you can go to your
druggist, buy a bottle, and if it doesn't
help you, you can get your money re
turnedcheerfully. Will you try it?
The remedy to have faith in, is the
remedy the makers themselves have
faith in.

filthy Tay Was Worked Rafularlr lle-
for tha War.
Few persona have auy Idea of the
quantity of gold that exists in the
western part of Georgia, South Caro
lina and North Curolina. The majori
ty of these mines were known forty or
fifty years ago, but have been aban
doned. In almost every instance a very
significant amount of ore taken from
them has been used. A short time ago
Mr. C. It. Warrand, of this city, visited
one of the most interesting and valua
ble of these gold-bearing qua.'tx dis
tricts at the foot of the lilue Kidge
numutaius ou the banks of the liroud
river, in York county, 8. C, near
Smith's ford, and he gives an interest
ing account of his visit, suys the Savan
nah News.
Forty-five years ago and up to the
war. he says, the mines there were
worked regularly with slave labor. A
shaft was sunk on the velus, which
vary from three to five feet in thick
ness and which are almost pcrpcudicu-
lar. The quartz ore was roasted on
the spot to make it more friable and
was then carted often for miles to
some water power, whore it wos run
through a primitive stamp-mill. With
slave labor these mines paid well,
though less than one-hulf of the gold
was recovered, probably twenty-five
per cent, of the freo gold being lost;
the pyrites or gold sulphurets were en
tirely thrown away, being considered
worthless. Still, with cheap labor it
paid, and thousands of dollars of gold
were sent to the I'nited States miuts
annually. Since the war a number of
spasmodic efforts have been made to
work the mines, which invariably end
ed in a failure. As a rule the capital
employed was entirely too small ami
lubor-suving devices were either lie-
yond the means of the operators or
were unknown at the time. Lately
this state of affairs has changed and
the brilliant success made at the Hale
mine in Kershaw county, S. ('., in
working up daily hundreds of tons of
ore containing only two dollars and
fifty cents of gold at a cost of forty
cents pjr ton, and recovering ninety
five jht cent, of tlu gold by the coro
nation process, seems to nave demon
strated that with proper skill and mod
ern mechanical appliances aud suffi
cient capital many low-grade tires can
be profitably mined. Such a substan
tial proof as a surplus of fifty thousand
dollars accumulated iu one year by the
Hale mine is certainly a very convinc
ing argument.
The time is near at hand, Mr. War
rnnd believes, when the value of our
southern gold mines will be recognized,
giving employment to thou.undn and
adding daily to southern wealth. Gold
mining in the south never will be in
the nature of n lionanza. but if it is
carried on like uny other business,
with only moderate expectations in
proiiortion to the capital invested, and
with the hvilp of all improved metlnxls
and machinery, it will lie found safer
and more remunerative than the major
ity of ventures.
