CAPTAIN sxrsoy's CAxr-Frnn sroEr.-

CAPTAIN SINPsoS's CAxP-FRE Story
Grand Army Hall was filed by an appreci-
ative audience Friday p. m, to listen to the
story of the capture Of Fort Fisher. The
paper was one Of the most interesting pro-
auctions which has appeared since the war.
The audience was held for an hour and a
half in the closest attention, during which
time pin drop might have been heard, save
at times when reference was made to promi-
nent occurrences or individuals. Themention
of General STANDARDS name in connection
with the battle Of Fort Harrison ELECTED
unbounded applause. Some portions of the
story are very affecting. Few men haze
brought with them out Of the wara prouder
record than has Captain Simpson. General
Grant mentions him in his report on the cap
ture Of Fort Fisher in complimentary terms,
and Secretary Stanton rewarded him with
the brevet rank Of Captain for gallantry on
that occasion. The story will well bear re-
peating. We hope to be able at some fu-
ture time to publish extracts from tho paper
very large and accurate map of the forth
fcation was drawn by Engineer Pichot, and
the movements Of the troops were fully de-
lineated as the fight progressed. At the
| close Of the reading a charity purse Of SIG
was made up by the audience for the relief
! of a sick and destitute soldier, who is not a
member of the Post. The exercises were en-
liyened by the Good Templars Orchestra,
under the direction Of Lieut.. H. R. Wing,
and altogether one of the pleasantest enter

Care of Paint Brushes.

No person can perform a good job of
painting unless his brushes are in soft
and elastic condition. Those persons
who have occasion to do small job of
painting only few times year, are apt
to find their brushes in such bad con
dition that new brush must be pro-
cured and good one thrown away, for
the simple reason that when used last,
their brush had not been properly cared
for. Any good brush will last to do
an immense amount of painting, if it is
only taken care of when not in actual
use. ..4 .t.t A,FE l.E
In order to render a brush doubly
serviceable, before it is used turns it bol.
tom end up, open the bristles and pour in
about small teaspoonful of good var
nish, in a small brush, and several table
spoonfuls in a large brush. As soon as
the varnish has all been absorbed
among the butts of the bristles, pour in
another supply. Keep the brush in the
position indicated until the varnish has
become quite hard. White-wash brushes,
brushes for calcimining, and all paint
brushes should be treated in this manner
long before they are used. The varnish
will cement the bristles together so firmly
that none will work out when the brush
is in use. Shelac varnish is better for
this purpose than any other kind, as il
will not be dissolved or softened so read
lily when brush is kept in water
When brush is used only two or
three times year, the better way to keep
it in good condition is to wipe out as
much of the paint as possible with a
wooden cloth; then fill the bristles with
spirits of turpentine or benzole, manipu-
late the brush until the small quantity Of
paint left in it is dissolved and loosened
from the bristles, wipe the brush again,
cleanse it with strong soapsuds, wipe the
bristles dry, wrap the brush in oil paper
and keep it in cool cellar where the
handle will not shrink. When one has
several brushes, and has occasion to use
them nearly ever day, or even every week,
the better way TO keep them from becom-
ing dry and hard is to wipe the bristles
as clean as practicable with a woolen
cloth, wrap each brush in piece Of pa
per, and stand them in a small deep pail
in which there is crude or unboilcd oil
sufficient to cover all the bristles. Water
is frequently employed in lieu of oil
But varnish brush cannot be kept soft
in water, while in oil it can be- Besides
this, water will often evaporate so rapidly
that before one is aware of it, the brushes
are exposed to the air and have become
quite dry. When in oil, even varnisli
brush will remain soft and elastic fol
years. One of the most convenient ways
to keep varnish brush in condition
always ready for use is to let it stand ir
oil in a coffee cup, or in an old can thai
was originally made for containing fruit
then fit wooden lid having a hole il
the center for the handle to pass through
By this means, dust will be excluded
and the brush will be always ready fol
use. A brush tliat is employed to lay or
shellac varnish may be kept neat anC
clean in this manner-AmeTicdn Builder.

Feed For Producing Milk.


The Practical Farmer says. 1t is well
settled in the opinion of our best dairy
men, that bran greatly promotes the milk
secretion in cows, and it is fed almost
universally. About equally mixed with
corn-meal is the usual proportion. This
mixture seems to promote both quantity
and quality ofmilk.
From several sources we hear that
buckwheat bran is great milk producer,
and il is now being used considerably
among our Chester County dairymcn,
in about the same proportions as the
other
Thomas Gawthorp, near West Grove,
Chester County, by repeated trials with
his own cows has fully satisfied himself
that they do as well with corn and cob
meal and bran as with pure corn meal
and bran. The amount Of nutriment In
corn-cobs is so very small that this result
will have to be explained on the sup
position of the ground cob acting to pro
mote digestion by distending the stomach.
The presence of bulky material being
necessary to promote distention and fill
up the stomach of ruminating animals
before perfect digestion can be accom-
plished, is frequently lost sight Of
Hungarian grass is also found for milch
cows TO be rather superior to the ordi-
nary run of hay. The-last year or two
Hungarian grass has loomed up wonder
fully in the estimation of our dairy farm
ers and very large scope of land will be
sowed with it the coming season. 1t

peeks to the acre is the usual allowance

convenient, this substitution of Hun.
garian grass for common hay in home
feeding will be clear additional source
of profit.

The Tragic Death of the Aeronaut
La Mountain.

THE balloon was one of the hot-air
kind, intended to rise by the well. known
upward pressure of the heated air con.
fined, until, cooling in the upper rarifed
atmosphere, il gradually descends. 1t is
thought by some that the renowned La
Mountain would not, after all his great
experience, have been likely to use this
inferior means of ascension. But as there
is no gas at Ionis it was impractieable
for him or any one to use any other
means than q hot air-balloon. At fifteen
minutes before four the sack was sup
posed to be properly inflated, and at that
moment the tether was cut and up 1t flew
from the assembled multitude.
The sack of this fatal air vessel was
about one-third Orone-fourth lmger than
the one of the same kind which recently
made two assensiOns in this city. 1t
probably held about $4,000 feet Of air.'
The form was, as usual, oval, except
where it closes to a point underneath. .
The swell of the oval was capped by a
wooden hub, supposed to be firmly fixed
there, and perforated by three holes,
through which ran the suspension cords
of the basket, crossing each other and
coming down around and beneath the
sack, forming six ends. To these the bas-
ket containing the aeronaut, was sus-
pended. There was no netting, such as
always covers and incloses the sack of
the large-sized gas balloons, or the acct
dent resulting thus horribly could not,
probably, lrave occurred. There was but
little wind at the time, and the balloon
arose directly upward, remaining right
over the Courthouse square, whence it
started, appearing of course to diminish
in size, till it was judged, by that appear
ance and the rate of its upward move
ment, to be 5000 feet high The shouts
had ceased, and 10000 upturned faces
watched the diminishing object intently,
when the basket was seen to separate
from the sack, which hung and Wayered
about in one spot for half moment or
so, while the basket and man were shoot
ing downward with the velocity of q
cannon shot s. r-gL...
AS the vast throng of Witnesses compre,
hended the frightful tragic spectacle, a
thrill of intense horror spread through
them, as from among them issued one
widespread suppressed groan of agony,
for all seemed too houor-strieken. to
shrek. OF course there was no such
length of time in the downward flying of
the devoted man as the reader has oceu-
pied in reading these last few lines de-
scribing it. From the instant OF the dis
aster TO the balloon till he struck the
ground, the time was not probably more
than fifteen seconds, as measured off on
the wateh-dial by the secondhand At a
height of five or six hundred feet from
the earth the unfortunate man got separ-
ated from the basket-in fact it appeared
as if he leaped from it intentionally. This
certainly made no difference as to the fa-
tality of the fall. The conclusion must
have killed him just as quickly had he
struck the earth with the basket beneath
him. Wonderful as II may seem, from the
time he sprang from the basket his posi-,
tion in the air remained erect, feet down,
till he struck, notwithstanding the greater

Brackets.

There is nothing that adds more to the
attractiveness of the home than brackets
in the corners of the room, which usually
become the receptacle ofvases of flowers,
natural or artificial, small plaster casts,
that cost but trifle and are pretty, and
numberless other little ornaments that
are always finding theh way into the
house and are often broken and ruined
because there is noplaee to put them ex-
cept on the table. Brackets as sold at
the furniture stores are rather expensive,
but may be made at home, and any boy
with sharp jack-knife may find a world
of amusement in cutting up old cigar
boxes and making brackets which, var
nished, are as handsome as any that can
be purchased at the stores. To make
these one requires a small key-hole saw,
a sharp jack'nife, and bits of, two or
three sizes. Patterns of the various parts
should first be cut from stiff brown paper,
and trimmed till they fit each other ex-
