We take the following extract from
an address of Gen. J. A. Kellogg, of La
Crosse, to Post No. 60, G.. A. R., at
Hamilton, Wis.
CAT the battle of the Wilderness,
fought on the 9Th of May 1861, [ had
been wounded and captured by the enemy
Near the carral of prisoners, under a
tree, side by side lay Captain Rollin P
Converse and Corporal Frank Hare, both
badly wounded. Corporal Hare had
already undergone the amputation of one
leg. The captain had been shot through
the body and both thighs, was in fact
dying, when couple Of rebel surgeons
concluded to experiment upon his yet
ton, and determined to prevent the act
if possible and whispered to Hare, telling
him where to find small pocket revol-
yer that had been overlooked by the
enemy when they took his side arms, and
directed him to take it and not permit
any person to disturb him until he died.
Hare did so and when the rebel surgeons
directed their attendants to remove the
captain, Hare quietly cooked the revolver
and told them he would shoot the first
man that laid hands upon the captain.
Weapons were pointed at Hare with
threats of instant death if he did not
surrender his weapons, but he only laugh
at them, asking them what they supposed
he cared for his life with only one leg.
At length the surgeons tired out by his
pertinacity, perhaps struck with admira-
ton of his bravery, gave up the contest.
A rebel officer standing by remarked that
he would like regiment of such men.
This arouse the dying Converse. [ had
the honor, said he, to command hun
dred just such men; the North is full of
them, and sooner or later your rebel rag
will be trampled beneath their feet and
with these brave, prophetic words he
surrendered up his young life willing
sacrifice unon the altar Of his country.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN GAs-An
English paper says: SIN accordance with
Instructions received from the British
War Secretary, some important trials in
connection with the consumption of gas,
and which promises to be Of great advan-
tage to the public, have been completed
at the gas works of the Royal Arsenal,
Woolwich. 1t has been found that by
combining bitnmen with coal in gas retorts
the gas is evolved with great rapidity,
and that it gives an illuminating power
from one burner equal to twenty -6ve
spermatic candles. The experiments,
which have been conducted by Captain
Arthur Cocklin, G. B., of the Steam
Reserve, Sheerness, have been so salts
factory that two hundred tons of bitumen
have been ordered by the War Depart
ment tor use in the Arsenal.

Advice 10 Mothers.

Il. = Z. ~.
when your daughter marries she ought, 10
q certain extent to give up her acquaintanees,
and consider,the company of her husband the
best company she can have. The young wife
must learn cooking carefully, if she does not
already haze knowledge of it. There are
many excellent cookery books, but sue mast
not follow them implicitly.
My own plan, for some time after l was
married, was to take some dish aud prepare it
once according to the receipt given, and note
carefully what ingredients could be dispensed
with. The second time generally managed
it at half the expense. a useful plan is. to
keep a blank book in the kitchen table drawer,
and whenever a deviation from the orthodox
, book is made, to jot it down: Do not wait
till you have washed your hands, Let the
book be finger marked rather than lose an,
idea
You willthus learn more Of household
economy than if you trust to memory. alone :;
and when your daughters grow up; what
fund of practical information it will be for
them. To great extent; the cclbacy of
your young men is owing to the way in which
the girls are brought up. Through mistaken
kindness mothers often do themselves what
they ought to make their daughters do, Let
them teach the housekeeping, on a fixed,
methodical plan, and they will then learn
their history, French aud music all the better.
tits natural and right that a mothcr should
wish to see her daughters well educated, and
e1enhighly accomplished; and it is mistake
that good and careful education would unfit a
girl for the homely duties of cooking, dusting,
etc. On the contrary, those duties would be
better performed; and if mothers would, at
the same time that they seek talented instruc-
tors for their daughters, impart to them some
of their own culinary talent, there would be
more good wives and more marriages.
Little girls should be taught, as early as
possible, to perform simple household duties
neatly; anda they grow olderlet them become
gradually acquainted with the theory Of house
keeping in such manner that when they are
married they will be able to adapt themselves
to their circumstances, and be useful as we'll
as pleasing companions to their husbands.
