Tha l-oilisiana was hurried ly built by joining two;tue together .ind an endeavor was made to arrange the two turs' shafts so as to work a large wheel between the two boats. The deck of the boat was covered with a flat roof and slanting sides made of three feet green oak lojrs with the bark on covered In turn with a foot of railroad iron. hen Farragut pasd up the river tha LouUiana was sent out to meet hiin; but after potng ball a mile the engines failed, and the boat was transformed into a floating fort. She carried eighteen guns. While iu this disabled condition, we were grap pled by the United States man-of-war Brooklyn and another frigate. Before being grappled we used both our broadsides on them with Considerable effect; but after that we could not use our guns, owing to the smoke caused by repeated discharges from the two men-of-war. Our ports were not large enough to allow the escape of the smoke caused by their guns, and it soon became so thick we could not see each other. The two frigates peppered our Iron roof without avail, and Anally drew off and we drifted down the river, where we grounded. When we were able to open the vents in the roof we found that more than a quarter of our man had been rendered unconscious by inhaling the smoke. Had the men-of-war continued their firing fifteen minutes longer It is safe to say that every one of the 100 men under the roof of the Louisiana would have beep asphyxiated." New York Star.

A middle-aged woman who had been in the habit of purchasing treatises on nursing at a well-known book store in llo-ton came In one day and bought a number of physiological and other works of a more distinctive medical character.

Origin of tha Wealth of tha As tors. tha Vanderbllts. and tha Uorill ards. An old Inhabitant writes lo the New Tork Times: John Jacob Astor had his store in Yesey street in the build ing in which Dr. Halleck lived. Fits Green Halleck. the doctor's son. was one of As tor' clerks. Old Astor got his start in lire by hiring out to a furrier to beat furs keeping the moths out of them at fl a day. He was economical and saving, and presently began to buy cat furs and muskrat furs, and when he had accumulated a lot of them he took them to Enj-Iaad and sold them at a large profit. ThoB he established hU own business hero, and extended his connections west ward and northward until he became the largest dealer In tha country. Commodore Vacdorbilt was at this time running a "perry -auger" (peri agua a small ferry-boat carrying two masts and a lee board) between quaran tine station and the city, and was be coming very popular with boatmen and pthers who were thrown in his way. Fulton & Livingston owned an exclu sive charter to run steamboats between fiaw York and Albany, and the monop oly was paying immensely. Two old Jerseymr hen started an opposition line, bus as they could not run direct jbetween New York and Albany they got around the difficulty by going- from New York to Jersey City and making '.hat the starting point for Albany. They encountered all sorts of diffi culties, however, the monopolists go ing so far as to willfully run their boats down and Otherwise crippling them, and they were threatened with bankruptcy. One of the proprietors was at New Dorp one day. when he asked old Mr. Guion if he knew of a man who was competent to take bold of their line and make a success of it. 'Yes,' raid Uulon. I know such a man. His name is Corn eel Vanderbilc He'll take your boats to the mouth of hell if you want him to.' 'That's just tha man I want,' was the response, and in a little while the bargain was coucluded and Cornelius Vanderbiit took charge of the line. The monopolists tried every possible means to prevent the line from doing business in New York, and at last put a sheriff on board with in structions to arrest Vanderbiit if he should attempt to move the steamer from the wharf. Vanderbiit got all ready to go. and then stood by with an ax. and when tha wheels had beejun to revolve and there was a good strain on the hawser he up with his ax and rut the hawser and steamed away to Al bany with the sheriff on board. A continuation of his vigorous policy finally broke up the Fulton & Living ston monopoly and established tha op position line on a profitable basis. Vanderbilt's daughters were a wild kind of girls. They were perfectly at home everywhere on Slaten island and were very popular. I used to see them in a grocery over there, sitting On tho counter and swinging their feet, and talking to tho young fellows who were charting them. The Lorillards had a snuff and to bacco business and they made a good deal of money out of iv There were three brothers of them Jacob, and Peter, and George.

French soil a few months Peter and George were the suuff and tobacco dealers. After t'nev ot wealtDy nothing would do but old orlllard must have a carriage and a coat-of-arms upon. He chose for his coat-of-arms "Who'd thought it snuff bought It." This made the people laugh, and so he changed it after a while, putting on in place. "Quid rides, which means "At what do you laugh?" His tobacco store was in Chatham street. CatHait Off o.j Iter I'm. A tall, black-whiskered man was leaning over the desk at the Continen tal hotel last night conversing with several friends, says tha Philadelphia Inquirer. Pulling a plethoric wallet from his breast pocket he took there from a long sheet of - bills, just as they came from the treasury depart ment. His friend inquired what they were. "Only advertisement. '' was tho reply. "They're given aw .y with tea instead of the usual chromos." By this time there was quite a crowd around the black whiskered man. eagerly examining the bills. Soma thought they were genuine bill, while others, who bad never seen bills in this shape before, as there was nearly a yard of them, really thought they were advertisements and would not have bought the entire lot for 5 cents.

Dr. Ingalls, who is at the head of aa educational in-tituta in Missouri. Dr. Ingalls has puzzled the community of which he is a member by remaining In a lonely state of single bleesedneas; not only puzcled, but. in some degree, offended, for the doctor Is a most agreeable man. and there are In the community some very agree able women. The matter was dis cussed at many sewing circles, and finally one old maid volunteered to convey the sense of the communitv on the subject to the offender. When she called on the doctor she put tha question rather bluntly: "Doctor," aha said, "the ladies are very anxious to know why you h:vo never married in these many yeara you have been among us.' Madame." said Dr. Ingalls. with all the suavity of manner which ha could muster up for the occasion, "you may inform the ladies that at least it has not been for lack of oppor tunity." And it is said that the doctor is not nearly so popular now among tha ladies of his acquaintance as he was before the inquiry was instituted N. Y. Tribune. Ckaar4 HI a Teat, A few Sundays ago an Atlanta preacher had selected as his text for his morning discourse i "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven- He Intend ed to scotch 'em." When he entered the pulpit he found a note from the richest member of his congregation and It read as followe: "When the collection for foreign missions is taken tip this morning put me down for $600." The sermon was preached on tha textl "Take heed that ye do not yoor aim fearer mn to be seen of them, iSy a Fruit Jellies. The approaching autumn brings with it not only its delightful dreamy days, its gayly-tinted, many-hued flowers, but its golden apples, rosy-cheeked orabn. downy peaches, luscious pears, purple grapes, brilliant red plums, and orange quinces aa welL To the Inexperienced housekeeper I would like to give a plain, practical talk upon the subject of converting these delicious fall fruits into good, whole some jellies ideas I have gleaned from that most excellent teacher, Kx perience. In the first place, select under, rather than over, ripe fruit. Acid varieties, to many people, give the best results, though apples, quinces, and pears make delicious jellies. It is an unprofitable disappointing business trying to make jelly of peaches and pears. It cannot be done. A ropy compound can bo made that is fairly (rood to put between layer cake; but after all, one rarely feels satisfied with the result, taking into consideration, labor, time, fruit, and sugar used. In making jelly of apples, crabs, and quinces, do not pare the fruit; cnt into small pieces; put into a porcelain-lined ki ttle, cover with water, and boil until tender, stirring from tha bottom oc casionally, to prevent burning. tStrain in a three-Cornered white flannel bag. Loops sewed to tho sides of the lag large enough to admit a stout stick (the clothes-stick or broom-stick will an swer) will hasten matters, as the bag can be tilled with the hot pulp, suspen ded and allowed, to drain into an earthen bowl without further assistance from the jelly-maker, until she is ready to do the last boiling. In the meantime she ean bnsy hersalf getting ready the cans und glasses. If fruit is scarce, what remains in the bag can be pot through a sieve, then boiled (stirring constantly to prevent burning), with half the amount of sugar. A good marmaiade will be the result. Crab-apples treated in this manner make an excellent relish with bread and butter. For sweet fruits, two coffee-cups of sugar to three of juiee will be sufficient to make good firm jelly. Boil in a por-celain-lmed kettle; or a bright new tin pan is excellent for this purpose. Let the juice boil up well for five minutes, skim, measure, add the sugar, ami IkjiI until jellied. Skim during the boiling process, and test by dipping out a spoonful and holding it on a block of J ice. ben it ceases to run Iroin the sides, it has been sufficiently cooked. Ik-move and pour iuto glasses at once. If the sun is shining (and all jelly making should be done on a fair, bright day), place the glasses on a waiter, cover with tarlatan or mosquito m-tting, and set where the warm sun will shine on them. The next day cut some stiff, white paiers the exact size of the tow of your glasses. Dip in whtskey, and lav over the top of the jelly. Cut rounds of stout tissue paper a little larger, dip the edges in the beaten white of an egg place over the to s of the glasses, and with a clean, soft towel, draw tightly, presHing the papers well around the edges. Never use tin to;s over your jellies. Treated in this way, they are almost sure to mold. Quince jelly is made in the same way that we make the apple and crab. When there is a scarcity of fruit, and you are making your quince marmalade or preserves, save the parings and add lo good "Maiden Blush" apples; make as you would apple jelly, and yon will aftoaards eat with a relish a condiment closely resembling the genuine ai tiele quince jelly. To my taste nothing exceeds in rich ness and pungency of flavor, the com mon wild plum. Boil in sufficient Vater to cover; when soft, strain through a flannel bag. Boil the juice a few minutes, skim, measure, allowing a coffee-cupful of juice to one of sugar. The luscious grape, beautiful in its prist na bloom, and so delicious to the taste, contains a sscchariue substance which, when subjected to great heat, becomes so gritty that one would al ia ost imagine it bad been sprinkled Srith powdered glass. Grapes are in their prime just lefore they turn. At that stage they contain a gelatinous quality that they lose aa they near jntr fect ripeness. If Hssible, secure them at that time. Pull the grajies off of the stems, and put them into a preserving kettle, just covering them with water. When thoroughly cooked to pieces, strain through a flannel bag. Put the juice on in the kettle or new tin pan. Let it boil five minutes, skim, remove from the stove or range, measure the juice, allowing a cupful of sugar to one of tha liquid. Beine as tart as plums, the grapes require aliout the same treat ment. If grapes at this stage cannot be pro cured, and yon are forced to use the "dead ripe odcs, slip them from the skins, using only the pulp. Ma ie without the akins, the common black "Concord" makes a bright red jelly, which is entirely free from the glua.y substance found iu jellied, or pre served, ripe grajiea when the skins have lieen left on. Our list of fall fruits is completed; tha hard, back breaking work is at an end, and we feel as if well, we never wanted to see or taste jelly again. But there are few of ns who do not in time regain an apetite for these dainty relishes, and who do not, after a rest, enjoy viewing the array upon our pan try shelves. Joine Mater. Our Dick. One bright morning in the latter part of October, 1HS8, while straightening the library, I beard a flutter of wings, followed by an exclamation from my daughter, "O, mamma, a canary." Hnre enough, perched on the back of a chair, with drooping wings and pant ing body, was a very tired but pretty genuine canary, pale yellow color, w ith just a line of darker shade on eaeb wing. He seemed very aby. and, weary as he was. we had sunied'itticnltv in catching and transferring him to a cage. In all my experience with birds I have never kept a caed prisoner. I do not believe they are happy confiued within snch narrow limits. I kept my plants op stairs, and be liked nothing better than to be at lilx r ty among thein. I did not like to leave him there for fear of an accident, so I made him go down when I did. He soon learned that his time was limited, and the cutest things be ever did were when I tried to get him w hen I was ready. He would come to my shoulder and stay until I started down the steps, then fly straight back through the hall and into the room with the plants. Of course, I went back; be would allow ma almost to touch him, and then sliding out from under my hand would elude my grasp, and hop just a few paces away, finally getting on the floor and under the bed. I never saw a child look any more Bancily defiant than did this midget, away beyond my reach, with head to one side, body flattened, and still as a mouse, he seemed to say, "get me, if you can." It was too fun ny for me to do anything else than laugh, and he soon learned he could outwit me in that manner, and took ad vantage of it until 1 was obliged to leave Win dova stairs.

Have you a polished floor and rugfn your lMdrooni? This room, perhap moro than any other, nhould Ins kept free from that bane of the housewife dust. If, however, a carpet is asd, there is an excellent way of laying it. Fanten small, strong hooks in the base board, close to the floor, and on tbe edge of the carpet sew corresponding rings. Fasten these rings over tho hooks, and the carpet is securely laid. By this method, it may frequently be taken up, thoroughly shaken ana re placed, without ranch more lulaor than would be required to sweep it, while on the floor. Of course a few tacks must be put where the carpet crosses a door way. tint these are quickly removed. Jn the rooms w here the ci.rpetn are tacked, fasten three-cornered brasses, which come for this purixise, in each corner, tojirevent the dust from collecting. Thin will also make tho corners very eary to clean. If yon have an o)en grate stove, in a room where a fire is not needed, during the summer mouths, it can lie made to lose its cheerless aspect by a few artis tic touches, l'lace in front of the frit to a very large, gay-colored fan, or one of the beautiful Jiqinnese nmbrellas,so fre quently m en in art stores. Another treatment is as follows: Behind the grate, place a mirror, in front of which are moi-ses, ferns, cat's-tiulu, et A plant with pretty foliage,)laoed in front of the stove, on a small milking stool, enameled pale yellow, would add to the effect. A novel arrangement for a' lamp, in a room where shaded, light ia required, came to my notice, a short time ago. Fasten a long brawn hook in one side of the room, from which suspend a palm leaf fan.covered with moss green plush, and edged witn a cord. In tbe center of the fan, fasten by the hand'e. with a slender wire, a tiny lamp, which may be bought at any of the city stores. A large pink bow of riblion ornaments the handle of the fan. Thia is a most apj .f rliitegift for an invalid. When the lump is turned toward the wall, the f&a mains an excellent screen for the eyes. If you have a recess in one of your rooms, which you hardly know how to famish, why not make it a convenient place in which to sit aud, read? Of course, an easy chair is necessary here, and by its side, an od.t-shaped stand, with a few favoriteliookfl njou it, would look welL On the floor, near the chair, place a fancy basket, containing papers and magazines. One or two pictures, and a iew noveltiesv m fancy work, will compIeU) tliis attractive feature of the room. In making spring and snmmercbang es.one often desires to place aa nprigiit piano away from the wall, bnt refrains from, so doing, on account of ita ngly apiearance at the back. Cover tbe low er part with wide piece of terra eotta plnah.aiul across the top, arrange a very deep drapery of pale gold brocade silk, caught up at one end with a heavy silk cord. l'ut a rug in soft Persian colors in front, aud at the corner, where the drapery begins, place an odd-shaped, stand, on which is a tall palm, or some other graceful plant. If less expen sive materials are preferred, nse heavy velvet paper instead of the plush, and for th drapery lovely French cretonne with gul J threads. Asxa M. Bradford.
