4 War Incident.

Admiral Porter was never so busy
that he could not devise a joke, and
during the attempt Of the navy to run
the Nicksburg batteries he played
little trick that caused the Confedera-
cy to expCnd about 100000 worth Of
ammunition, and to destroy some good
fighting material, One day he devised
a bogus ram, and it took but a little
time to build ii and set it atloat. On
an enormous scOw was erected a su-
ironclad. With boards and fence
rails was made an imitation of an

the chimney was made hearth OF

which would make the blacklist Of

and combinations of numbers, and
the fatal error OF Hood. He never en-

successfully oycrcame N the Wilder

Kolin from the remnant of a routed
