Indoor Safety in a thunderstorm.

Mr.. Latimer Clark, the eminent cleo
t"rician, gives the following useful hints
as to the safest position people can oC-
cupy during Il thunderstorm: \ person
reclining on a sofa or bed at II distance
from all the walls of the room could
scarcely suffer injury even in a house
struck by lightning, but Il most absolute
security is obtained by lying on an iron
or brass bedStead of the form known rs
the Arabian bcdstead, in which the head
is surmountcd by IN iron erection sup
porting the curtains. Apcrson lyingor
sleeping within such Il hcdstcad could
not possibly receive any direct injury
from lightning, e if the house were
to be demolished, rs his bc,i>tcad forms
the most complete neutrality-suspicious.
which could well be devised. \ wooden
bedstcad, placed against the wall, does
not afford any special security. 1t may
flash, the danger is past, the crash Of
the thunder. however terrific it may ap-
pear. being perfectly harmless.

Origin of the Name "StonewaIl Brigade.

The New Orleans Picoynnc contains
the following:
In your issue this morning | notice
quoted Il short statement from Il Bowl
ing Green (ky.) paper, giving the ori-
Gin of the name '~St0ncwa.l Brigade"
which is erroneous, rs wei, as the Incl
dent relative to the Confederate battle
flag, which does not apply to General
L. j. Jackson, but 20 Colonel T.. +.
WithcrS, of the - Virginia regiment,
now one of the distinguished United
States Senators from that State. The
correct version of both incidents is as
follows: During the battle o: Manassas,
about eleven O'Clock in the morning.
when that gallant and mertOriouS ntli-
ccr, Hrigadier-Gcncral Barnard j.. Bee,
WAS cndeavoring to rally his troops in
the small valley in the + IF the Rob
inSon House, he noticed Jackson's Bri-
@adc, which had just arrived and taken
position Il little IN the ear If him, in a
copse of small pines bordering on the
edge of the plateau where a about to
be fought the first great battle Of the
war. Bee, finding that his appeals were
UNDECIDED by his brave but CisOrganzicd
troops, then said TO them: "Rally, men,
rally! See Jackson's Brigade standing
there like a stone wall.n These words
gave the appellation to thGt brigade,
and thence to its heroic commander.
The other incident occurred 1t the de-
livery of the Confederate batle-flags to
my forces at Centerville, in he autumn
of 1861. Many of these flags had been
made from ladies' red silk dresses, some
of which were much faded, put never
theless highly appreciated by Il
troops. The brigade had ben drawn
up in columns of regiments en- the pla

Lamps Without Oil.

1t will be an odd thing if we some
day fill our lamps with iron filings in
stead of oil, and dispense with wickS.
Yet an eXperimentalist in Berlin has
shown that a brilliant, lasting light may
be obtained by burning iron. He took
a straight bar magnet of some power,
and sprinkled iron filings on II of its
poles. Applying to this the flame of
burning gas or spirit, it took fire, and
continued to burn for some time as
freely as any ordinary combustible ma
terials do. The filings arrange them
selves in accordance with magnetic
force, and, however closely they may
appear to be placed, of course no two
of the metallic filings are parallel, and
consequently a certain amount of air is
confined as in 4 metallic sponge.

A Courageous Woman.

Mr.. Moses Fog@, Il wealthy farmer,
lives 4 mile from Gorham Village, Me
He is a widowcr, and his hOusekccper
is Il Mrs. Jewctt. On Tuesday fore
noon 4 knock was heard at the front
door, and on opening it Mrs. Jewett,
who was alone in the house, saw Il
tramp standing there. He asked to see
the mistress of the house. She replied
she was the only mistress at the time.
The man then inquired for the gentleman
of the house. and was told he was down
in the field. He appeared very anxious
to see him, and wanted Mrs. Jewett to
90 down and call him. She refused,
andtold the fellow she couldnottalk with
him any longer, and shut the door in
his face. While the lady was talking
she thought she heard some one up
stairs, so she went directly to her room,
and taking Il pistol, stepped into an
other room, where ire enough she was
confronted by large ugly looking man,
who was ~cndcavoring to secrcte himself
in a closet. With the utmost GOODNESS
Mrs. Jewctt aimed her pistol at him and
requested him to depart. He demurrcd
at first, when the lady made another
step forward and cooked the pistol.
The fellow then ran down stairs and up
the road. The ma ut the front door
had also disappeared.-BOSton HeroIH.

A Homemade Sash Fastener.

y correspondent of the RUul Home
describes Il simple and convenient win
dow fastening by which the sash can be
held in place at any desired height.
Make an almond-,haped button about
two inches long and an inch broad at
the base: screw this ON the sash within
II inch Of the strip on the window
wherein the sash slides; cut two or
three notches in said strip one-fOurth of
an inch deep and cut out upwards to Il
sharp edge. When raising the window
with one hand, with the other press the
buttons point into the notch, at what
cyer height you wish it. y reversed
notch can be cut near the bottom to
turn the button into, to secure it from
being opened on the outside. We have
these in use W five years, and do not
know that we would exchange for the
most approved patent springs. a
pocket knife and Il gimlet are all the
tools needed to make them, and in IN
hour all the windows in the house can
be fixed.

GERS had been sitting III the audience,
and their GntrCc on the stage, their

behind the scenes, gave rise to much eX-
element. When it became known,
however, what the object Of the whole

to their satisfaction and sympathy in a
burst of applause. Leo and his reputed
father were taken in custody, placed in
a coach and driven to the residence Of

A New Dog Story.

Last Thursday evening, says the
Troy (N. y Press. Eddie Gerrold, aged
nine Years, of Newtonville, It small
hamlet in the interior of Waterylict,
went into the woods in the rear of his
fathers house t gather some nuts.
He obtained Il little BAG from his moth
or, ut his urgent request, to put the nuts
in. and started off for the woods in high
glce. As evening advanced, he did not
return. and his parents became anxious,
and went in search of him, but failed to
find him. They continued their search
Ill day Friday, and on the evening of
that day returned home, tired and foot
sore, and almost cave the child up as
lost. About Q o'clock on Saturday
morning, rs most of the residents of the
hamlet were in Mr.. Gcrr0ld'S house
SympathiZing with the family III the loss
of their child, 'Jack,' Il large New
foundland dog, that has been an at
tache of the Gerrold family since he
was Il month old, entered and seemed
uneasy, and kept whining and barking
at intervals. He was put outside the
door for disturbing the family, and after
remaining there for some time. he ran
into a Mrs. ScOvill's house AcXt door,
and graSpcd Il loaf of bread that the
lady of the house had put under the
stove, and ran off with it in his mouth
in the direction OF the wood. When
Mr.. ScOvill returned, his wife related
the incident to him and he felt sur
priSed, rs Jack had always maintained
Il character for strict honesty. He in
turn related the incident to Mr.. Ger
rold, and that gentleman felt pretty
certain that the dog had some idea
of where the child was, and new
hope was inspired in the family,
and they waited impatiently for the
dogs return. Finally he did return in
about an hour, and exhibited the same
uneasineSs that was remarked before.
After trying various ruScS To attract the
family to follow him to the wood, he
finally started in that direction with
more than half of the residents of the
hamlet after him. He led them through
many winding paths, until at last they
reached 4 chestnut grove, and there
they found the boy lying under a tree
with his left lee broken. The boy HIM
self told the facts of the case 10 u re-
porter substantially a follows: He was
upon the tree, and shaking it with all
his might to shake oil the nuts, and lost
his hold and tumbled down, his lee
striking the ground with force. He
tainted, and the first thing that met his
gaze when he became conscious vas the
dog standing over him, This was on
Friday evening, and the dog left
his side, but kept barking with all his
might until Saturday morning. The
pangs of hunger the boy felt pretty
keenlv ut this time, and he made an at
tempt to reach some nuts that lay OF
the ground a short distance from him.
When the dog observed this he started
off and returned in a short time with the
loaf in his mouth, which he deposited in
the boys lap. He ate of it with relish,
and then became lonesome and began to
cry. The doc started off again. and this
time returned with his friends to him.
The boy was removed home and Il doe
tor summoned from Cohoes, who set
the wounded limb.
