The David Crockett was once the most famous packet ship afloat. She was built at Stonnington in 1853, and when first 1n commission went into the San Fran- aIwia tfaAa anIMtifl. oitt ef Maw Votlr anil carrying passengers stricken with gold fever. She once made the passage from here to 'PhFadc'-phla In 92 days and from here to' New York In 102 days. In 1890 the David Crockett was bought by Peter Wright & Sons, of Philadelphia, who con verted her Into a barge, named her Poco hontas and set her to carrying coals. r.inir commissioners for this year ended June 30, 18D6, leave little room for con- gratiflatlon to the citizens of this coun- try who eminently hope that In the a m manned by men of American birth, will be a power to be reckoned within the ccean-carrylng trade. Of the 79,415 men shipped during the twelve months, there O, C h 41 CQI A .m.L cans, 11,552 British. 11,057 Germans, 871 French, 1370 Italians, 1047 Russian Fins, and 7453 other nationalities. As compared with the previous twelvo months. 255 . , j o, . lewer American uorn seamen auu t I more Scandinavians were shipped. New - ' ... -v.- York, a fairly cosmopolitan port, ships two Scandinavians for every American, and Boston, the htiib of the- universe, curious enough ships twelve Scandinav ians to every American. A late issue ot the American Shipbuild er contains a splendid ensravlnsr of the ship Young America, the fastest and most woKd-renowned Yankee clipper ever built. She was launched at New York In mm. 1SM. from fh. vard of William u wi.h .n .hiir ovrreMlv fnr the California and East India trade. She made many fast trips, the most rapid be- ing a run from San Francisco to New York In 80 days and 4 hours, and from Liverpool to San Francisco in 90 days. DurTng one voyage she made fifteen knot, on k, n nr.. unH nri4 hn ft Hflva from 50 8. in the Atlantic to BO S. in the Pacific, which is rounding Cape Horn. Her last round trip from San Francisco to Liverpool and iback to this port was made In 8 months and 10 days. Her quick est run out from New York to San Fran cisco was made In 92 days. Some eight or ten years ago the Young America was sold to ' an Austrian firm who changed her name to' the Jllroslay. Shortly after ward She sailed from Delaware Break water with a cargo of oil for Fhwne and has never been heard ot since. A full rigged model of the craft is In the pos session of J. D. Spreckcls & Bros. Co. who prize it very highly. Information was received by the steam er Gaelic, which arrived yesterday from Hongkong and Yokohama, says the Jour nal of Commerce, that the Japanese cabinet had decided to place four of its contracts for the construction of new , matlon about tne Browth and the present quickly, with more certainty and warships with American shipbuilders.

Scott's success In ob taining two of the contracts Is doubtless fargely attributable to the good impres sion made on the Japanese by the cruiser Olympla, a model of which Mr. Scott took with hTm to Japan. The Japanese cabinet officers were highJy pleased with the resuCt of their inspection of the new American cruiser. It was naturally ex pected that most of the contracts would go to the British shipbuilders, and the announcement that four of the new Jap anese fleet will foe built In America will be received In the nature of a pleasant surprise. On March 20th lait the Brltlsli ship Vincent and on March 21st the German ship Sirene sailed 'from, Puet Sound with caiigoes of wheat loaded by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. The Vincent arrived at Cork on August 16th, And the Sirene at FaVmouth on August 30th. When the Vincent arrived at Cork the Quecnstown correspondent of the Liverpool Journal of Commerce telegraphed the following story to his paper. It is evidently a yarn he obtained and swallowed from her captain and stamps the mayor of Tacoim, as well as the "Judge," as high old sport.?: A long ocean race from Taconu. to this port between twa ships one named the Vincent (C'aplal.i Blackmore), belonging to Liverpool, the ojjier fly ing the German flag and named the 61 rene has Just ended, and resulted in a victory for the British ship, by which she has won the prize of 200. It ap pears that while lying at Tacoma loading Bho mayor of that city, as well ah L.ie Judge, visited both Chips, and hav ing the appearance of clippers they took the fancy of both officials, who entered into a bet of $5,000 on the race between the two ships to Queenstown. The mayor selecting the Britisher, while the Judge selected the German. It was decided at the same time to award the captain of the winning ship tl.000, or In place (hereof a plot of land equivalent In value. Documents were duly signed to verify the bet, and on the 25th ot March last both shipa set sail, the German having the advantage of three hours' start of her rival. However, the next day at 4 p. m., the Vincent, with all sail set, came up on the Sirene. The wind was light at the time, and both ships remained In each other's company until nightfal!, when they parted, and the Vincent never saw ber rival afterwards. The Liverpool ship encountered heavy weather at times dur ing the rest of the passage, lost walla, and had the tarpaulin torn off the hatches during a hurricane. Captain Blackmore has selected for his prize the plot of land in that distant country, the value of which is increasing rapidly each day. The Norwegian four-masted rfhip Lanc ing entered this port Thurslay for the first time. She Is one of the largest sail-! ing vessels afloat, being 275 feet long. 44 ftet Inches beam and 27 feet I Inches depth. The Lancing was a trans-Atlantic fltpmmor fnr manv VPara In tho Wwnnnh ' Hhe.

SHORT INTERVALS OF PEACE. Only are vouchsafed to nerves weak and :nstrung, but when it is braced up ana soothed by Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, perfect tranquility reigns night and day throughout the nervous system. Ner vousness is equa".1y a manifestation ot chronic dyspepsia, a disorder to the re lief of which the Bitters are peculiarly adapted. In the general vigor begotten of complete digestion and assimilation, two functions aided by this auxiliary ot health, the nerves of course share. Ner voua people should use it steadily, not at uncertain Intervals. The bl.Ious and constipated, and those troubled with ma laria, rheumatism and kidney trouble, also derive remarkable benefits from It. The aged and infirm find that lt ten Is greatly to lessen their physical trouiKes, and persons slowly recovering strength after an exhausting Illness convalesce more rapidly when It Is resorted to. It Is, moreover, a capital appetizer. A BISHOP'S VIEW OF THE BLOOMER QUESTION. (William Taylor, Bishop of Africa.) I approve of anything In line with woman's advancement which Is consist ent with her womanly dignity. The so calCed bloomer question with its looseness and the freedom of movement it allows, is oertinly a vast improvement, as far as health is concerned, ujon the clothing women have worn ln the past. One of the greatest reason of women's physical inferiority to man lies in the fact that in the past she has not clothed herself In a sensible or rational way; he has j foolWhly gacrificed bodily health to Im- aginary improvement in her personal appearance. In my work in Africa 1 , have found that my women missionaries j as a rwlhole have more endurance than tho men. They are sensible women who do not violate the laws of health. In what they wear; and the manner in which they have kept at work which has broken men down proves, I think, that women are equal, lf not superior, to their masculine co-workers In staying power and general strength of constitution when the condl- j tions are equally favorable. Thfiwearirj oy women or loose trours wni.e tkw cle rfdlng Is a distinct step toward mak ing the conditions equal, and therefore I Should examine the question as to wheth er women shaH wear bloomers or not wliih a decided leaning toward, the affirm- atlve side. Unless the costume Is 1m modest or unwomanly I should advocate lts adoption. The question of unwomrtn llness Is largely one of Individual taste. Personally I do not consider the cos tume objectionable. It ha appropriate for the wheel, and a manifestation of an Increased freedom and a larger sphere for women, which I am glad to see.

Since the introduction of Cod liver Oil into the treatment of consumption, the average life of patients has increased from two to eight years. The num ber of cases cured in the early stages of the disease has multi plied, and physicians now assert that consumption can almost al ways be averted if good care and treatment are begun in time. Cod-liver Oil ought always to be a part of the treatment, and it should be taken in the form of Scott's Emulsion, which is palatable and does not derange digestion.
