a WAR INCIDENT
How o Confederate Cruiser Was Captured
BY Infantry.

HOW asOonfederate Cruiser Was Captured
BY Infantry.
Captain William Dillon, a Western
steamboat man, tells the following incl
Dent, as occurring in 1864. to a re-
porter:
The whole history has got to be
Urittenyet. None of those little Incl
dents that make up the story have been
told until lately. The funniest thing
that happened, ito my knowledge, has
never been in print 1t was the capture
by company of Hoosier infantry of a
nan-of-waI which the whole American
navy couldn't take. That sounds funny,
Sut it is true. The man-of-war Fox had
eladed capture, for long time, though
vessel after vessel and squadron after
squadron had engaged her n fights,
chased her, and hunted her al down
along the coast.
"One day in 1864 she put into a little
bay surrounded by the rebel Zines to
take on fuel. A company of darkies
had been hauling sugar cane back into
the country, and the large carts were
being driven back with only little loose
fodder and stuff in the bottoms, when
Captain Booze, commander of a COM
paay in the fTwenty-first Indiana In
fantry, met the train a few miles out
side the. Confederate lines. The soldiers
piled into the carts and made the dark
les drive them through the lines Gown to
theseoast.
Hken the soldiers sprang out of the
carts and dashed aboard. She wss cap
tzred without shot being fired
Geetain Booe placed the crew IN ems
tedy and made them run the vessel
round into the Mississippi River,
where she was turned over TO the
naval authorities. A vessel hailed
the Eek on the voyage round. but
Captdia Booze thought he could out
sad her. and ordered all steam on The
other ship fred a shell, and it burst
pretty near the Fox. Then Booze hove
to. but:ae refused to surrender the prize
until she was safe in the Mississippi.
Up to 1873, when / saE Captain Beoe,
his men had not received a penny for
that capture. If naval force had
made it they would have divided up
a good-sized fortune, bEt the laws did
not contemplate naval engagements h.
the infantry. and there was no provision
to corer the case. - Wheeling Istesaes-

The Snail as a Barometer

A correspondent of Western journal
says there is no surer way of predicting
a change in the weather than by OBJ
serving the habits of the snail. They do
not drink, but imbibe moisture during
a rain and exude it afterward. The ami
NAL is never seen abroad except before
a rain. The tree snail. as it is called,
two days before rain will climb up the
stems of plants, and, if the rain is going
to be hard and long one, will get on the
sheltered side of leaf, but if a short
rain, on the outside Then there are
other species that before rain are yell
low, after blue. In other snails deep
indentations. beginning at the head be-
tween the horns and ending with the
juncture of the tail, appear few days
before storm.

a WONDERFUL OPERATION.
Two New Pupils Formed for . Blina

TCincinnati speciaLl

TCincinnad SpeciALJ
Dr.. g. G. McDermott has performed two
operations ON q patients eyes this week
that are considered marvellous by those
who have . knowledge Of the subject The
patient is little girl from Lebanon, Ohio,
who is now with her mother at % West
Seventh street. Her name is Mary Mar
garet Reardon, and her father is an en-
ploye Of the l., B. & w. Railroad. She II
eleven years old, and has been almost
totally blind since birth, being afflicted
with what is known as congenital cata-
racts. The center Of each pupil had cat
aract, and she could only see dimly from
the circle around the cataract. As her
mother said, she could see dark objects
moving, but could not distinguish q horse
or COW from q train of cars. She had re-
ceived an education such a. Is given to the
blind, and can read very well the raised
letters which are used for the sight
less. Her parents had been anxious to
have something done for her eyes since
she was three years old, and taken her
to prominent specialists, who would not
guarantee that they could do her any
good. Within the last few weeks DIR.
McDermott has been treating her, and
Tuesday last he made an operation ON
the left eye. He did not attempt to re-
move the cataract, but made an incision
in the lower part of the eye, and
formed a new pupil. He then ban
daged the eye, and found yesterday
tn at it had entirely healed up without in
fiammation. He therefore repeated the
operation on the right eye yesterday at
ternoon. The little girl, who had fine,,
intelligent face and pretty golden hair,
was startled when the bandage was re-
moved yesterday morning from the first
eye operated on, and declared that things.
looked strange to her. She took no an
aesthetic while the operation was per-
formed, and never flinched or cried. The
doctor says that for few days his patient
win have to wear bandage, and after
that she will begin to see, and in few
weeks be able to read common type.

Interview with Mi. Wilson Sou1e, q Large
Representative Advertiser, as to Its Ben
efits.
from the New Haven Comm Sunday linton,
Oct Is, 1So5.l
Mr.. Wilson Soule, Secretary and Treas
urer of the Hop Bitters Manufacturing
Company, has been spending the last two
days here, arranging his advertising mat
tiers, and was interviewed by UNION re-
porter as to the results and the worth OF
newspaper advertising. He said that for
the four years previous to 1878 they spent
all their money in bill posting and circu-
lars, from which they received no profit; in
fact, they got back just about half what it
cost them for making the medicine and
printing and distributing the circulars.
In the spring Of 1873 they placed an ad-
bard, of New Haven. The results were
sales Of $4,000. They increased the adj
vertising the following year to 100000, the
sales being $3.50, 600. The next year they
spent $4,000, with $4,000 sales, and the
next year the expenditure was slightly in
creased, as also the sales. They argue from
tbs that nothing but simon pure newspaper adj
eertisiaag, jsdieoesly aud thoroughly applied, is
tie sure road TO success.

The Poor Little Ones.
We often see children with red eruptions
on face and hands, rough, scaly skin and
often sores on the head. These things indi-
cate a depraved condition of the blood. In
the growing period, children have need Of
pure blood by which to build up strong and
healthy bodies. Ii DR.. Pierce's 'Golden
Medical Discovery is given, the blood is
purged of its bad elements, and the child $
development will be healthy, and as it
should be. Scrofulous affections, ricketts,,
fever-sores. hip-joint disease or other grave
maladies and suffering are sure to result
from neglect and lack of proper attention
to such cases.
