9 ia lyfty-two killed and sixty-nine
oaAced SeyentY-three shots Were re-

ceived. Brown reported ten killed and fif-
teen wounded, and his vessel so badly
damaged in her steam pipes that he could
not use her as a ram.
While the Arkansas lay at the wharves
at Vicksburg the CONSERVATION among
Union commanders was very great lest be
should go down and recapture New Or
leans. The commander of the Mississippi
ram fleet, Ellet, said, "The continued ex-
istence of the rebel gunboat Arkansas so
near US is exercising a very pernicious in
fuence upon the confidence of our crews,
and even upon the commanders of our
boats"
A council was held in Farragut's flag
ship, and it was resolved to run the upper
feet past the Vicksburg batteries and the
redoubtable ram, so as to protect Farra-
quits great prize, New Orleans. The upper
and the lower fleets were to open on the
Vicksburg batteries, and one by one the
choicest vessels were to run past the ram,
giving her broadsides or their beaks, as was
most convenient. Just q week after the
rams exploit, and while she was without
a crew, having only men, with officers to
help, for two guns, the ball opened amid
a deafening cannonade from the two
fleets, and the answering Confederate bat
teries. The Union ironclad ram Essex and
the Queen OF the West dropped down and
stood for the Arkansas.
The Essex found the Arkansas at anchor
and ran into her across current. doing lit
tie damage with her beak in consequence,
but one of her ten-inch shot tore through
the Confederate with terrible damage, dis
abling gun and half her crew. In return
Brown gave the Essex a broadside and
sent her drifting down the river. The
Queen of the West came on, making the
mistake also of striking across the current
instead of with II. The -ATkausds DacKeu
off, saving herself from the shock of CON
tact with the strongest ram afloat and
giving her score of shots that sent her
back up the river aleak, with a badly
damaged smoEestack, and all of her steam
pipes shot away.
The Arkansas was now put into partial
repair. Brown went on sick leave turn
ing over the command to his ieuten-
ant, Stevens. The latter was ordered to
take the vessel to Baton Rouge, and
steamed rapidly down without encounter
ing n Union vessel. One of the engines
of the ram proved faulty and was repaired
and she taken up stream on trial trip.
Here she met the Union fleet the Essex
leading. The Arkansas promptly started
for her old antagonist, but her weak engine
again gave out. The Essex opened, the
Arkansas replying, and finally Stevens ran
his vessel into the mud and sent all hands
ashore Firing her, he sent her adrift, and
the Essex from Il safe distance poured in
a furious fire until she blew up from her
own magazine.
Brown was on his way to the vessel, and
reached the scene just after the explosion
In his account in The Century War Book
he says, with excusable exultation, with
colors flying, the gallant Arkansas, whose
decks had never been pressed by the foot
of an enemy, was blown into the air"

TONGUE ToAsT.-Take q cold
smoked tongue that has been well
boiled, mince it fine, mix it with

off the crusts, toast slices of bread,
and then butter them lightly. Lay
them in dish that has been heated,
and cover each slice of toast with the
tongue mixture.

APPLE SAUCE.-There are many
varieties of apples to choose from in
cooking, and many ways of cooking
them. A great deal depends on the
way they are cooked whether they
are palatable or not. In making APP
pie sauce they are sometimes cut up
in o careless manner, put into tin
basin on the stove, stewed and sweet
ened in a haphazard way, and dished
with some portions stewed soft and

Never Bets on Hi. Own Horse.

They tell a good story of a man who has n
fondness for fast horses. A year or two ago
he had one that was said to be flyer" and
marvellous stories were told about what she
had done, and was capable Of doing. But an
intimate friend noticed that the owner of the
wonderful horse never staked any money on
her.
"Why don't you back her for a good,
round sum il she can do what you claim she
can?" he asked. THAT would prove that
YOU had confidence in her but as it is"
See here, my friend" said the other, with
a twinkle in his eye, don't you know me
well enough to know that I'm too modest to
bet on my own nag, especially when | feel
sure that she can't come out ahead?"
When n man knows he can accomplish
what he undertakes he doesn't feel too mod
est to say So When DR.. Pierce put his Favor
ite Prescription before the public as a certain
remedy for all female diseases, with satisfac-
tion guaranteed or money refunded on
every bottle of it, it proved that he had en-
tire confidence in the preparation. He felt
sure of its merits, and the testimony o
thousands of women who have been cured by
it of weakness" Irregularities" and all
the distressing diseases from which their sex
suffers so much, proves that his faith wa,

cinnati swung into the current and gave
chase. Then the ram ran the gantlet of
nine vessels, receiving a damaging broad
side from each. These were the Hartford,
Iroquois, Richmond, Sumter, Oneida, Sci
ota, Wissahickon, Winona and Essex.
Two elevcn-inch shot penetrated the
ram, doing fearful execution. One shell
exploded in a cotton bale lining of the bull
wark and set up blaze, also wounding or
killing some sixteen of the gun crews. As

shells shattered against the armor of the

threw sparks and fame like flint. On the

Doyou ask, 8 Where can L do this and
have my money absolutely safe ?" Let
us give you some facts. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. of
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles =
lst. Not dollar IS loaned witsaout
the personal knowledge of some one of
the Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.
I'd. 1t is run as a home institution
Every dollar is loaned in Lamoille and
adjacent counties. and every worthy en-
terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fOstered and encouraged in preference
to other investments, so far as it can be
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances is a dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other Out-of-the-State security. We
might perhaps pay our depositors one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by incurring a little additional
risk, if no loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day a ''long felt
want" in Vermont for a savings institu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
stitutions. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and or
phans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagementt to our neighbors
who prefer to occupy western fields we
offer to the depositing public the La
mOille County Savings Bank and Trust
Co. as an institution organized to meet
the demand for strictly home Investment
Savings Bank. That such ademand ex-
lists, and that the people are ready to be-
stow their confidence and encourage
ment upon such an institution, is evil
denced by the fact that the aggregate of
the small deposits alone in this bank
not counting any in excess of $1,000
were at the end of the first six months
of its business, S57, ,196.00, a record
without parallel, we believe, in the
history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
his Bank take over 6per cent. 1t would
rot. knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
money at per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of six-tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
taxes to the depositors. 1t must then be
evident that per cent. per annum is all
that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi-annually if not
withdrawn.

A stile in the pathway, summer day,

An exclamation" You'll 0 You'll"
The same old story, forever new,
An arrows flight to a soul new-found,

And hush their anthem in heavens gate.
