The Capture of John Brown.

From an account of John Brown at
Harper's Ferry, written by one of his
prisoners, who was in the engine-house
during the instruction, and afterward
held the rank of captain in the confed-
crate army, we quote the following:
" When Lieutenant Stuart came in the
morning for the final reply to the de-
mand to surrender, l got up and went
to Browns side to hear his answer.
Stuart asked, Are you ready to sur
render, and trust to the mercy of the gov
ernment?' Brown answered, promptly,
No! prefer to die here His man.
ner did not betray the least fear. Stuart
stepped aside and made the signal for
the attack, which was instantly begun
with sledge hammers to break down the
door. Finding it would not yield, the
soldiers seized long ladder for bat
tering-ram, and commenced beating the
door with that, the party within firing
necessarily. / had assisted in the bar
Reading, fixing the fastenings so that L
could remove them upon the first effort
to get in. But / was not at the door
when the battering began, and could
not get to the fastenings until the lad
der was used. then quickly removed
the fastenings, and after two or three
strokes of the ladder the engine rolled
partially back; making a small aperture,
through which Lieutenant Green of
the marines forced himself, jumped on
top of the engine, and stood second,
in the midst of a shower of balls, look
ing for John Brown. When he saw
Brown he sprang about twelve feet at
him, and gave an underthrust of his
sword, striking him about midway the
body and raising him completely from
the ground. Brown fell forward with
his head between his knees, and Green
struck him several times over the head,
and, as l then supposed, split his skull
at every stroke. / was not two feet
from Brown at that time. OF course l
got out of the building as soon as pos
sible, and did not know till some time
later that Brown was not killed. 1t
seems that in making the thrust Green's
sword struck Browns belt and did not
penetrate the body. The sword was
bent double. The reason that Brown
was not killed when struck on the head
was that Green was holding his sword
in the middle, striking with the hilt and
making only scalp wounds. "-Century.

An Old War-HOrse.

When General W. II. l.. Wallace of
the Illinois troops fell MORALLY wounded,
at the battle of Shiloh, he was riding
beautiful black stallion, Prince, three or
four years old. After the battle Prince
was sent north to the home of Wallace
in Ottawa, H., together with all the
accoutrements, where he has ever since
remained. Prince is now about twenty
six years old, but the war spirit that
possessed him up to that bloody day
when his master fell by rebel bullet is
almost extinct. However, there are two
things that will extend his nostrils and
kindle fire in his eyes again-the smell
of burned gunpowder and the reports of
firearms. This popularity was especially
observable, day or two ago, when a
photographer endeavored, at the request
of Mrs. Wallace, to take photograph
of this relic of that memorable battle.
Prince was saddled with the generals
own saddle, and the pistols were in the
holsters. The old horse had no spirit,
his head hung low, and he scarcely
moved The artist, being informed of
the effect of gunpowder. discharged a
revolver he carried, and the effect was
electrical. Away Prince went around
the lot in a mad fury until his eye
caught sight of the photographers blue
coat, and thereafter the horse did not
lose sight of that coat during all the
maneuvres necessary to make the sue
cessful sitting" that followed; but
his head was erect and his eyes flashing.

drops in kettle that is hard to clean
makes grease and sickness fade away,
and robs the work of all its terrors.
Let it stand ten minutes before at
tempting to scrape off, and every cor
ner will be clean. 1t cleans the sink
and penetrates into the drain-pipe.
Spots, finger-marks on paint disappear
under its magical influence, and it is
equally effective on floor and oil-cloth,
though it must be used with care on the
latter or it will iniure the polish. There is
nothing to equal it in cleaning the silver
ware and it gives higher polish and
keeps clean longer than anything else.
If the silver be only slightly furnished,
put two table-spoonfuls of ammonia
into a quart of hot water, brush the tar
nished articles with it and dry with a
channels. If badly discolored they may
need little whiting previous to the
washing. An old nail-brush goes into
the cracks to polish and brighten. For
fine muslin and delicate lace it is invalu-
able, as it cleans without rubbing the
finest fabrics. Put a few drops into
your sponge bath in hot weather, and
you will be astonished at the result, as
it imparts GOODNESS to the skin. Use
it to clean hair-brushes, and to wash
any hair or feathers to be used for beds
or pillows. When employed in any
thing that is not especially soiled, use
the waste water afterward for the house
plants that are taken down from their
natural position and immersed in the
tub of water. Ammonia is fertilizer
and helps to keep healthy the plant il
nourishes. In every way, in fact, am.

Captured by StOnewall Jackson.

From General ID. II. Hills contribution
to The Century War Series, in the
June number, we quote the following:
Riding in advance of his skirmish-line
through the swamp, attended by few
staff-officers, General Jackson found
himself in the presence of fifteen or
twenty federal soldiers on outpost duty.
He judged it the part of prudence to as
sumo the offensive and charge upon
them before they fired upon him. am
indebted to Major T. O. Chestney, then
assistant Acknowledgement of Elzey's
brigade, for the following account: AS
Elzey's brigade was pressing forward to
the line held by the confederates at the
bloody battle of Gaines Mill, squad
of fifteen or twenty soldiers were en-
countered on their way to the rear. A
tall fellow at the head of the little party
drew special attention to himself by
sing ing out to us, at the top of his voice,
Gentleman, we had the honor of be-
ing captured by Stonewall Jackson
himself "a statement which he. re-
peated with evident pride all along the
line, as our men tramped past. We sub
sequently learned that his story was
true. General Jackson, having ridd en-
some distance in advance, had come sud-
denly upon the blue-coats, and, with his
characteristic impetuosity, had charged
among them and ordered them to sur
render, which they made haste to do"

successful foe, even if his destruc-
ton involved firing upon some of our
own retreating troops, as might have
been necessary. The attack, though
coming like a series of apparently ire
sistible avalanches, had thus far made
no inroads upon our firm and .disci-
plined ranks. Even in this last attack
we successfully resisted, driving back
our assailants with immense loss, or
holding them beyond our lines, except
in one instance, near the center of
Morell's line, where, by force of num-
bers and under cover of the smoke of
battle, our line was penetrated and
broken; this at point where i least
expected it, This was naturally the
weakest point of our line, owing to the
closer proximity of the woods held by
the enemy. Under this cover they
could form, and with less exposure in
time and ground than elsewhere, and
launch their battalions in quick sue
cession upon our men. | believed l
had guarded against the danger by
strongly and often reinforcing the
troops holding this part of the line.
Here the greater part of McCalPs and
Slocum's forces were used. Just pre-
ceding this break, to my great surprise,
l saw cavalry, which recognized as
ours, rushing in numbers through our
lines on the left, and carrying off with
sudden fright the limbers of our artil-
lery, then prepared to pour their ire
sistible fire into pursuing foe. With
no infantry to support, and with appar-
ent disaster before them, such of the
remainder of these guns as could be
moved were carried from the field
some deliberately, others in haste, but
not in confusion

ClOthespin Apron.

Take strong piece of cloth Calico,
or any material you choose) and cut it
as you would the upper part of an
apron, with two cores (of course no bib
is required) about twelve inches long.
Then cut another piece to fit the bottom
of the first one, about eight inches
long, and a trihe wider at the top.
Hem the top, and sew the short piece
to the other at the bottom and sides
put band on the top and long strings
and your apron is finished. This apron
serves as bag in which to keep your
clothespins when not using them, and
is always ready.

More About Bread.

Mrs. l.. j. w. sends us the following,
cut from California paper, which she
thinks will be instructive and inter-
esting.
Fresh bread contains large amount
of water-about forty-tve per cent
much of which is in pure or uncom-
bined state. Within two or three days
after baking chemical changes take
place in the interior of the loaf, in
which the greater portion of the water
enters into a combination with the
starch and gluten of the grain, giving
to the bread the appearance of being
lighter, although if placed upon the
scales it will be found that it has lost
scarcely anything in weight. This fact
can be easily demonstrated by placing
a stale loaf in closely covered vessel
and putting it in hot oven for half an
hour. On breaking open such loaf il
will be found to possess all the charac-
teristics of a newly-baked loaf, the
water having been driven out from a
combination with the constituents of
the -four by the heat. A portion of the
inside of freshly-baked loaf, when
rubbed between the fingers or when
chewed, forms sticky, pasty mass
which is permeated by the digestive
fluids with difficulty. Pieces of stale
bread treated in the same manner sep.
arate into small particles, which are
readily acted upon by the digestive
fluids. 1t is for this reason chiefly thai
stale bread is so much more wholesome
and digestible than freshly-baked bread
1t should be added that the indigesti
bility of warm bread is greatly increased
by the addition of butter"

The Last Confederate Charge at
Gaines Mill.

From General Fitz-John Porter's
contribution to The Century Illustrated
War Series we quote the following:
" AS if for a final effort, as the shades
of evening were coming upon us, and
the woods were filed with smoke, linn
ting the view therein to few yards,
the enemy again massed his fresher
and reformed regiments, and threw
them in rapid succession against our
thinned and wearied battalions, now
almost without ammunition, and with
guns so foul that they could not be
loaded rapidly. In preparation for de-
feat, should it come, | had posted ar
tillery in large force just in rear of our
center and left, ready for any emer-
gency-and especially to be used against

SOOt-Water for Plants.

The London Garden says: off you
merely make a mixture of SCOT and
water, you have crude and dirty
thing to deal with; and the right way
is to put bushel of SCOT into a we'll
made canvas bag, into which heavy
piece of old iron has previously been
thrown as sinker; then tie up the bag
tightly, and throw it into a tank OF
large butt of pure rain or river water.
None of the crude carbon makes its es-
cape; but you have all the ammonia
and other essential component parts of
the SCOT, which are readily soluble; and
either for Swinging or watering, it is
of the utmost value"

Two Pictures from the War.

All through the wearying summer day,
The blaze of heat, the dusty road,
Our toiling columns stretch away,
Sore burdened with the knapsack's load
And winding DER the rugged hills
Bright waves of steel roll bilowing on,
Till Wars stern, solemn spendor fills
Dark valleys from the world withdrawn.
Day wanes apace; the failing feet
Have respite from the toilsome track,
Uncounted eyes in slumber sweet
Close round the welcome bivouac.
The picket skirts the distant wood,
And from the far-of summit glow
Dim warnings in the solitude,
The watch-fires of a crafty foe.
Tomorrow dawn may bring the strife,
The shock of battles yet the sleep
That chains this throbbing tide of life
Is like a spell, so wild and deep.
Dreams soothe each stormy, turbulent heart,
And happy Past returns again.
Joy sits within the heart, a guest
To Danish thence corrodng pain.
God guard and keep them Der the hills
Far reaching to their northern homes,
My yearnng aspiration thrills,
And on the haunted night-wind comes
The whisper of porch rose-twined,
graveled walk, an open doer,
lattice sweetly jessamined-
A shadow falling on the foorl
Sad woman's eyes and bearded lips
Beside the bivouac murmur low,
AS If the dream had found eclipse
In sympathy's deep overflow
The drowsy clock ticks by the wall
m
While wings afar the thrilling call
of bugles sounding for the fray.
Sweet childish faces gather round.
Sweet infant voices fill the room,
As ever greets her ear the sound
OF childish plant, when will he Gomez"
And oh, with marble lip and cheek
Turns, shudderng, from the Swallowed foo
To stife words she may not speak
perhaps he comes to us no morel"

Mr.. CORNELIUS SMITH of Pleasant
Valley, Md, has the contract for saving
into lumber large number of logs cut
from the battlefield of Antietam. He
says all kinds of missiles, from cannon
balls to buck-shot, are daily met with
in the timber, and that it is really
dangerous to stand near the saws in his
mills when such lumber is being cut, a
number of saws having been snapped
into fragments, while running at high
speed, by striking iron shot imbedded
in the logs. A large angular fragment
of a shell was struck by saw, the
other day, and a perfect shower of
sparks rained from the contact of the
two metals, the saw being snapped in
several pieces. In another instance a
grape-shot was cut through by saw,
leaving a bright, polished surface on
each hemisphere of the missile. Many
leaden bullets, which offer little or no
resistance, are revealed in the boards
and planks.
