There were the usual hurried orders,

boats, and looking for :he unfortunate
lubber, who, in the darkness and fog re-

about for three quarters of an hour, the
boats we're piped alongside, hoisted up,
the crew mustered, roll called, and Jack
Lannahan, a wild Irish foretop-man,

to log Jack as expended; extra senn-

south of Charleston.
Jack Lannahan had been up mending
the service of the foOt-ropes on the fore
top-sail yard, for two hours or so before
sundown and as two or three of us had
observed than the top-man spent good
deal more time in hydrographizing some
of the little narrow slues, swashes, and
channels, over towards the island, than
he did on the service, we somehow drift
ted into the conclusion that the mans
tumble overheard was not altogether a
lubberly mistake; though for our lives
we wouldn't call to mind single word,
look. or action of Jack Lannahan's that
should cause US to doubt his loyalty.
1t seems. however, that others than
ourselves had their suspicious for our
foxy, wide.a-wake admiral, instead of
returning SO the flag ship at eight bells,
ordered the two cutters lowered, man

ready to shove off in a momont. The
crew of his own barge was reinforced by
a scare of WyandOtts, armed with rifles,
revolvers, and cutlasses, and finally, the
relieved watch was piped down, with or

SHERMAN'S MARCH TO THE SEA,

The following is the latest army song viii eh
Shernan's vetrans are chanting on their victorious
march:
Our camp fires shOne bright on the mountains
That frOWned on the river below,
While we st OOd by our gu ms in the morning
And eagerly watched for the foe
When 3 rider came out from the darkness
That hung ever mountain and tree,
And shouted, Boys up and be ready,
For Sherman win march for the sea-"
Then cheer upon cheer for bold Sherman
Wentup from each valley and glen,
And the bugles re-echoed the music
That come from the lips Of the men,
For we knew that the stars in our banner
More bright in their SpIendOr would be
And that blessings from NOrthland would greet Us
When Sherman marched down to the sea.
Then forward, boys, forward to battle,
We marched on our Wearisome way,
And we stormed the wild hills of Resaca,
God bless those who fell on that day
Then Kenesaw frowned in its glory,
FrOwned down on the flag of the free, q.
But the East and the West bore our standards,
And Sherman marched on to the sea.
Till onward we pressed, till our banners
Swept out from Atlanta's grim walls
And the blood Of the patriot dampened
The soil where the traitor flag falls
But we paused not to weep for the fallen,
Who slept by each river and tree;
Yet we twined them wreath of the laurel
AS Sherman marched down to the sea.
0, proud was our army that morning
That stood where the pine darkly towers,
When Sherman said: %Boys, you are weary,
But to day fair Savannah is ours
Then sang we song for our chieftain
That echoed Ger river and lea.
Aud the stars in our banners shone brighter
When Sherman marched down to the sea.

How TO Distinguish G ,od from had

The cost of n yard of calico is q
matter Of considerable importance to
the consumer who studies economy;

who, in wishing to practice frugality,
deceive themselves into the idea that
because an article is low in p!ice it
must necessarily be cheap The re
suit of this is demand upon the man.

he, to keep pace with the wants Of his
customers, introduces into his wares,
when practicable, certain preparations
calculated to hide the flimsincss of
the products he is thus called upon
to supply. This system of "dressing
and finishing" as it is called, is prac-
tised at the present time to n greater
extent than ever it was before, owing
to the enormous advance in the price
Of cotton of late years The com
moncst calicoes are "dressed" with
flour, china clay, etc, and are gen
orally so artifully "filled" with one or
the other of snch preparations as to
be very deceptive to the inexperienced
eye. When however, such dressed
fabric comes to he washed, the "eXtrc
fine fnish," as it is not unfrequently
called, disappears, leaving soft, fab

been soaked is almost thick enough
for bill-sticking purposes. The fin.

scarcely any "powdcr,"1 and should
never appear any the worse for good
soaking in the wash tub. In order
TO ascertain to what extent q plain
calico is finished we have but to rub
a small portion Of the piece to be
tested sharply between the finger and
thumb of each hand; for this "makes

man say. If it be OF the commonest
