ruffle as well of soft silk also. In these
latter, however, the corners of the rufle
are drawn tightly up against the cush-

The round rush mats, sold for ten cents,
are used in many ways, one of the best
adaptations proving that of a tray, to
hold a leathern or jeans or any heavy
material cushion. This is best filled
with hair, as it is to be used as a foot
stool.
Many ladies, and gentlemen as well
fancy a tiny pillow for a footstool, since
it yields a little to pressure and may thus
be adjusted in length. 1 AVE seen a
very attractive stool of this description,
filled with a blue jeans pillow, about a
foot and a half square, well stuffed to
hold its shape firmly.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2:-Private ad-
sices from Valparaiso state that the IRON
clad Blanco, belonging to the insur-
gents, recently attempted to blow up
the armed government tug Florence with
a fish torpedo. The torpedo missed the
tug, but struck big floating dry dock
In the harbor, blowing it to pieces. The
Blanco was tneregpon treated to O hot
fire OF shot and shcil from every gun in
the forts and steamed out of the harbor.
The same night a torpedo boat and
the tug Florence stole out to attack the
Blanco. The ironciad was not alone,
being in company with the sloop of war
OHiggins. Both ships compelled the
government vessels to return to the
harbor and followed in hot pursuit.
Seamen Blown to Atoms.
A heavy shell from the Blanco. struck
the Florence, blowing her completely
out Of the water, and every one of her
crew of seventeen men were either
killed or drowned. A broadside from
the O'Higgins knocked the torpedo
boat all to pieces. The two insurgent
vessels then turned their attention to
the forts and lively battle ensued. A
she'll from the forts struck the O'Hig-
gins and went clear through her. An
other shell caused gun on the quarter
deck to explode. When the smoke
cleared away the deck was found to
have been literally torn out of the ves-
sci and nine men out Of crew Of
twelve were blown to atoms. The
sloop was at once taken out of range
of the guns in the forts.
