Hnme-Rrewed Ale

G.. Burton, in the Rural New Yorker,
gives his method of making home brewed
ale as follows =
"The art of brewing is very easy to be
understood, for it issexactly similar to the
process of making tea. Put handful of
malt into a teapot then fill it with water
the first time rather under boiling heat.
After it has stood some time, pour off the
liquor just as you would tea, and fill up
the pot again with boiling water. In a
similar manner pour that off, and so 60 on
filling up and pouring off till the malt in
the pot is tasteless, which will be the case
when all its virtue is extracted. The Ii
quor or malt tea must then be boiled with
a few hops in it, and when it becomes
cool enough-that is about blood heat
add little east to ferment it, and the
thing is done. This is the whole art and
process of brewing; and to brew large
quantity requires the same mode of pro
ceeding as it would make tea breakfast
for regiment of soldiers.
A peck of malt and four ounces of hops
will produce ten quarts of ale, and of a
better quality than can usually be pur-
chased"

Decidedly Cool.

There are two fun loving individuals
residing in -, whom will designated
as George and Kibby. They were never
known to meet without ones trying to
get up joke at the others expense. At
town meeting, held here one day in De-
cember, Kibby was chosen moderator

About twelve o'clock that night, which
was horrible cold, George rode up, on
horseback, to Kibby's door, and raped,
Kibby came down stairs, shivering in the
cold, having nothing on but his shirt and
pants, when George sang out:
"Kibby, were you chozen moderator at

"Well, then, do for Gods sake moder-

Without waiting for reply, the wag

on his way home. But he declares, till
the present day that he heard sound

A Federal prisoner, Junius II. Browne,
writes facetious letter, in the Mark Tap
ley vein, to Cincinnati paper, from his
cell in the military prison at Salisbury,
North Carolina, under date of February
10Th. He says the stoves the rebels give
the prisoners compensate for the absence
Of all heat by a perpetual emission of
SMOKE" that the prisoners live ON bread
and pork, and often bread alone, with
smoke and cold interspersed ad Hbtun,,
and that they distinguish breakfast from
dinner by inhaling an extra volume of
smoke, and taking five additional shivers" +"
He adds:
"Most adversely for me, my appetite has
increased. However, [ manage matters
very well. When l become very hungry, l
expose myself to the cold, and vice versa;
so one discomfort strangles another, and
| am enabled to continue the beatitudes
of my bondage. Who would not be a

"a CONTAGIOUS DISEASED"

At lively village in Illinois, not far
from Woodstock, they have benevolent
association, one of whose objects is to
watch with and take care ofits sick mem
bers. Last fall an unmarried young lady
was admitted to membership. In cou-
pie of months she was blessed by bright
eyed babe, and was very sick. Some Of
the young lady members expressed to the
chief officer of the association their indig-
nation, and asked him if he really thought
it their duty to visit the unfortunate one.
"Well,' said he, after much deliberation,
81 suppose not. You are not obliged to
watch where there is contagious dis

a War Eagle.

An exchange says that when, in the
year 1861, the Eighth Wisconsin. Regi-
ment marched from that State to the seat
of war, it carried with it din eagle. From
that time, through all the marches, bat
ties, sieges and vicissitudes of-war, this
bird has remained with the command
and shared its hardship, dangers and ad-
ventures. Whenever the regiments has
joined battle with the foe, the eagle has
been at his post with the soldier who
owns him, at the head of Co. D. AS the
engagement waxed hot-as the roar of
the heavy guns shook the earth, and the
rattle of small arms pierced the dun and
sulphurous cloud that hung about the
line of battle-the eagle would flap his
wings and mingle his voice with the tu-
mutt in the fercest and widest of his
screams. Twice has he been wounded
in action, one ball cutting away great
portion of his tail feathers. But he has
never turned tail to the foe.
He has gone with his regiment through
seven States, a fit companion and emblem
of the heroes of the Northwest. He is
now at home with the veterans recruiting,
and there is not banner or ''broker"
in the United States that brings men to
the regimental flag as fast as the war-ea-
gle of the Eighth Wisconsin. Thousands
flock to see him, and his sharp, shrill cry
is always heard at morning and evening,
with the flies and drums Of the guard
The people of Wisconsin are determined
that when the wars is over, and the eagle
comes home again, he shall be kept at
the public expense, in the Capitol grounds
at Madison.

Bound to Win.

The Buffalo Express is responsible for
the following:
GA chap who some time since caught
the oil infection, put for Tidioute, and
commenced to bore well. After he had
reached depth of some three hundred
feet, without even getting "show," some
of his more fortunate neighbors took it
upon themselves to ridicule him on ac-
count of his poor success-an operation
which he bore very patiently. The next
day some of the same party having occa-
sion to visit his engine house, were rath-
er startled from their propriety at seeing
shingle nailed up in conspicuous
place, upon which was inscribed the mot
to, "Oil, He'll, or China!' 1t is needless
to say his nelghbors discontinued their
ridicule from that moment-and we add
that it was not long before the persistent
fellow Struck ile."'

Artful Doings.

The Portland Advertiser gives two or
three examples of sharp practice, one of
which is that of stranger who called at
tailoring establishment, and, as he en-
tered, addressed the proprietor.
"How do you do, Nj"
"Really, sir, you've got the upper
hand of me, [ don't know you."
"Don't know me?" exclaimed the stran-
ger. "Why, I've been fishing with you
many time up in Wyndham and there
abouts."
"Have your" said the proprietor.
eyes, and [ want my coat fixed" was
the reply; the buttons and button holes
repaired"
"Tain't worth fixing said the tailor.
"Well, thought would have it fixed
up little. 1t will do to go out fishing
in, you know. How long will it take to
doit? If it should take over an hour
shall not have it DONE"
81 can do it in half an hour" said the
tailor.
"By the way" said the dodger "I
have got to go down to the bank, and
shall want coat to wear"
"There is mine-take that" said the
obliging proprietor; "and better one
you never wore in your life"
The stranger took it and went to the
bank, it is presumed, but never returned
to get his old coat.
And yet another. A man went into a
certain boot and shoe store, and after
dickering about pair of boots which he
had on his feet, trying to beat down the
shopman, another man entered the store,
apparently in search of the first conner,
went up to the customer and struck him
blow in the side of the head. The Gus
toner looked up to the shopkeeper and
asked:
"Would you stand that2"
The shopkeeper. said: "No SIR" at
which the customer returned the blow,
and the first assailant retreated to the
door, followed by the customer and shop
keeper, the latter of whom said to the
man who had the boots "Go in" and
he went in and he went off, and that was
the last he ever saw of his man or his
boots.

A Great. Change.

On Monday the 10th Regiment of Col
ored troops, under the command of Colon
el Henry Thomas, marched from Camp
Birney, and after parading through the
principal streets of our city stacked arms
in front of the Holiday Street Theatre,
upon the very ground where on the 10th
and 2lst of April, 1861. the secession
lists of Baltimore, under the guidance of
ex-Marshal Kane, gathered to carry out
their nefarious plots. The various move
ments of this body of men evinced the
high state of discipline to which the men
have been brought by their officers, and
which favorably impressed all loyal men.

THE LAST CHARGE.

Now, men Of the North, will you join in the
strife
For country, for freedom, for honor, for life |?
The giant grows blind in his fury and spite
One blow on his forehead will settle the fight !!
Flash full in his eyes the blue lightning Of
steel,
And stun him with cannon balls, peal upon
peal!
Mount troopers, and follow your game to its
lair,
AS the hound tracks the wolf, and the eagle
the harei
Blow, trumpets, your summons, till sluggardS
awake;
Beat, drums, till the roofs of the faint-heart-
ed shake!
Yet, yet, ere the siguet is stamped on the
scroll,
Their names may be traced in the blood
sprinkled roll!
Trust not the false herald that painted your
shield;
True honor to-day must be sought on the field!
Her scutcheon shows white with blazon of
red
The life drops of crimson for liberty shed
The hour is at hand, and the moment draws
nigh!
The dog-star of treason grows dim in the
sky!
Shine forth from the battle-cloud, light of the
morn,
Call back the bright hour when the Nation
was born
The rivers of peace through our valleys shall
run,
AS the glaciers of tyranny melt in the sun;
Smite, smite the proud parricide down from
his throne
His sceptre once broken, the world is our
own!

The battle-ground of Gettysburg.


A letter from Gettysburg in the Balti-
more Sun says:
Cali the bodies of the Union soldiers
have now been disinterred from the pits
and trenches, where they were hastily
thrown after the battle and carefully
buried in their appropriate places in the
cemetery.
The total number of bodies thus re-
moved and entombed is three thousand
five hundred and twelve About one
thousand of them are unknown, and de-
posted in that part Of the enclosure set
apart for those unrecognized' Nearly or
quite fourth of the whole number of
the slain belong to the State of New York.
Many Of the unknown bodies have since
been recognized, their names having
been discovered from letter, photographs,
medals, diaries, clothing, and other things
found upon the corpses. Quite an a.
mount of money, in small sums, raging
from the fractional part of dollar up to
fifty dollars, was also found upon these
bodies by those who disnterred them
Thirty-six dollars in gold were found in
the pocket of one, and thirty to forty dol
lars-paper and gold-in the garments
of others, besides many relics, memen-
toes, &c. All this money and these rel
les have been taken care of by the COM
mittee, properly labelled, and held in
safekeeping for the relatives, should they
ever be discovered. An elegant hunting
case gold watch and FIVE or six silver
watches were also found upon different
bodies.

The fumes of burning coffee are pow
erful disinfectants. Experiments have
been made at Paris to prove this. A
quantity of meat was hung up in closed
room until decomposed, and then chat
ing dish was introduced and 500 grammes
of coffee thrown on the fire-in few min
utes the room was completely disinfected.
In another room sulphurated hydrogen
and ammonia were developed, and 80
grammes of coffee destroyed the smell in
about half minute. 1t is also stated
that coffee destroys the smell of musk,
castroeum, and assafetida. AS a proof
that the noxious smells are really dscom-
posed by the fumes of coffee, and not
merely overpowered by them, it is stated
that the first vapors of the coffee were
not smelt at all, and are therefore chemi-
cally absorbed, while the other smells
gradually diminish as the fumigation
continues. The best way to effect this
fumigation is to pound the coffee in a
mortar. and then stew it on a hot iron
plate, which, however, must not be red
hot.

The habit of generalizing from single
statement sometimes causes ludicrous mis-
representations. Thus it was stated in
the newspapers, sometime ago, as good
joke, that an old lady refused to touch a
newspaper containing the Presidents mes
sage because she had heard that he had
the smallpox. The story went to France,
whereupon Galignani's (Paris) Messenger
solemnly announces that $50 stupid are
the lower orders of the United States that
they hesitated to take the journals con-
tanning the Presidents Message from the
postofice, fearing that they might catch
the smallpox, under which the writer OF
the messages was reported to be suffering.
