Tho Truth of History.

To the Editor Of the State: In order
that the exact truth of history might be
put upon record I would respectfully ask
you publish the following brief account
of the opening of the siege of Fort Sum
ter on the 18th of April, 1861.
On the night of the 11th of April
Capt. Geo. S. James, who commanded
the artillery company stationed at Fort
johnson, vas instructed to have she'll
exploded at 4 30 q. NJ. on the next morn
ing, which was to be the signal for gen.
eral bombardment. I, SO first lieutenat
in command of q battery of ten.inch
mortars, was intrusted with this duty.
Our mortars were loaded and trained
one with full charge directly. on the
fort, the other, according to instructions,
to explode high in the air and wide Of
the mark only as signal. Corporal
Welch with me lanyard in hand and I
with the other anxiously awaiting the
moment and watching our time pieces.
As the hand marked the hall hour the
shell was'tbrown high in the air, beau.
tiful sight, as the whole line could be
traced by the burning fuse. Immedi-
ately our mine vas sprung to destroy a
house which interfered with our view,
and then the she'll trained upon the fort,
which was intended for business, all
within minute. Thus was the opening
of ono of the most desperate of wars and
the beginning of untold troubles. Lieut..
Henry L. Farley, with Cspt. James,
commalded second battery of mortars,
and Lieut.. Hayne detachment of re-
serves. These are absolute facts, and the
two shells from my battery were the t'co
first of the siege. Lieut.. Meade, Who
was in Fort Sumter, informed me that
the second she'll fell in the fort.

An Electrical Wonder.

4Gen. Edward W. Serrell, who was
lief engineer in the United States army
charge of the department of the South
bring the Civil war, is reported by the
bston Herald to have invented won
Srful electrical system Of auxiliary har-
b defenses. This invention is said to
I've been recently completed, and it is
aimed that by its use an enemy's ship
h be kept outside harbor at such a
Stance as to put the place defended be-
bnd the reach of her guns.
& is claimed that the device is SO con-
lructed that if a single ship or fleet of
hy> number Of vessels attempt to enter
lbsrbor where it has been introduced,
kch ship could be struck a blow with
hat or in what way it is not stately
kusl to $4,000 foot. tons, and the blow
build come from overhead, out of the
h, as the ship crossed certain life.
l.The mysterious blow, it is stated, is to
bme vertically, and is to strike upon the
hrt of the ship where it will do the
lost permanent harm. Twenty of these
|horhammer blows can be struck in ten
Econds Of time. Several army officers
hd naval experts are said to have inves'
|gated the method and are reported to
Eve agreed that the blow could Ger
I;nly be struck within foot or two OF

Husbands and Peaches.

The following instructions were given
by q minister's wife in Saginaw, Mich,
in reply to- the question GLOW can
young. woman BEST preserve the love of
her husband?"
Husbands, like peaches; will not keep
the year round unless they are we'll pre-.
served. First, select him carefully: Be
sure he is not too green, neither should
he be over ripe. He might look very
tempting and mellow in the market, but
if he is too old he will not stand the test
of the preserving process, but will expose
his hard, stony heart. Husbands grown
in the tropics of pleasure, look very fine,
but are usually insipid. The home grown
are best. Select your husband, if
possible, from a family tree growing on
the sunny side of Church. You will
be sure then that he is sound at heart.
Unsound husbands, like unsoond peaches,
often have to be sorrowfully cast away.
Having selected your husband, you
should have clear, steady, CHEEKY fire of
love. Your preserving kettle must be neat
and clean. Husbands, like peaches, look
very black if this is untidy. Give him
plenty of sweetness. Much sugar is
needed. Vinegar is never used in sweet
preserves. If you. think he demands a
little spice, use it with caution. Do not
keep stirring him up, neither should you
keep pokiDg him with sharp points to see
if he is done; it will spoil his looks. If
the above recipe is followed, and you
have selected the right sort of husband,
YOU will find that his love is well-pre-
served.

Humbuq About Madston s.

The maidstone story is going its rounds
again. 1t is the property OF this Won
derful agent to stick to raw surface OF
flesh and suck the poison out of 1t. That
is, the owners say so. As matter OF
fact, says the Brooklyn Eagle, no inor-
panic substance eau suck except by the
aid of machinery. Again, in ninety-nine
cases out Of a hundred the dog bites arc
harmless and there is no poison to be
sucked out. Thirdly, credulity is one OF
the most effective cures in the materia
medica and ought to be used oftener,
where people have no disorder. The
whole tradition of the maidstone comes
from the absorptive power of any au-
hydrous mineral. Such a stone is filled
with pores, and by process akin to that
of capillary attraction the water that it
has lost-in the course of centuries, per-
haps-it will soak up again when in con-
tact with liquid. If one wishes to know
the sction of maidstone let him put
piece Of tabasheer or dry clay or shale to
his tongue. 1t will stick. That is all
there is to 1t. There are millions OF tons
of maidstone in every State in the Union,
and every family can afford to be with
out it. These stories Of mysterious
stones that have come from the far east
or that were bought at enormous prices
from voodoos aud hoodoos and wizards
arc all humbug. If person is bitten
by snake or q dog it will do him no
harm to clap a chip Of anhydrouS stone
to the cut surface. 1t will stick, just as
it will to his tongue or his eye or damp
saucer or Brooklyn street or the surface
Of bar, but let him likewise consult
physician.

SHEET HOUSES.

Greater attention to housing sheep in
this country has led to economics hardly
thought OF by our fathers. Here is Dit
of experience in this line that may help
somebody. In the last few years we
have made a great improvement in our
manner of housing sheep. We now have
warm, comfortable sheds, covered mostly
with plank. We find what Is called
ship.lap makes an excellent covering;
but it must be thoroughly seasoned be-
fore it goes on. We make these sheds
portable, so we can move them about
once a wear from one part of the field to
another. By this meaus we fertilize the
farm very rapidly. We find there is
great waste of manure when sheds are
kept too long in one place. Let me des
cribe these sheds fully: We build them
in sections of sixteen feet square. We
put temporary braces in these sections to
keep them from rocking, aud move them
with teams from one part of the field to
another, section at time. This farm
that we are living on will support third
more sheep now than it would twelve
years ago. Our best pastures will carry
ten sheep per acre all summer.-Amerl-
can Farmer.

The Great Cahokia Mound.

Few people known that almost in
sight of st. Louis stands the largest ar
tificial mound in America if not in tie
world. The Cahokia Monnd is over
seven hundred feet long by five hun
bred wide at the base aud ninety feet
high. 1t covers over eight acres OF
ground and has upwards Of twenty mill
lion cubic feet of contents. When one
reflects on the low degree of civilization
attained by the people who built this
mound, and the inadequate tools, trans
portation aud machinery employed, it
was for the Indians a more stupendous
undertaking than for us would be the
building of another city like St. Louis.
This mound is really a mountain, aud
every handful Of earth it contains must
have been carried thither in baskets.
How long it took or why it was b1ilt at
all are questions that will probably never
be answered, but the stupendousness OF
the work cannot be callel in question.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
PROPER WAY TO cHURN.

When the butter appears in the churn
in the form OF small grains as large as
wheat, the churn is stopped, and cold
water or brine is poured in to dilute the
buttermilk and make it more easily
separated from the butter. This is
drawn off and more cold water is poured
on the butter, the churn being slowly
turned to wash the butter thoroughly.
This is continued until the milk is COM
pletely got rid Of and the butter is clean.
Then salt is mixed with the butter by
revolving the churn, or strong brine Is
poured on, and the butter is at once put
on the worker and packed for sale.-

ture, and this is the most abundant neal
the ground. Suppose a mass of air RISES
it cools by expansion as it ascends. This
cooling condonses some Of the yapor; the
air is made warmer than its surrounding,
and it again rises. More moisture is
condensed; more heat given up; the air
is again warmed; it again rises, and so
on until this source of heat is used up.
With plenty of vapor present the air
rises to a greater height than when th'
air is dry-and not only that, the air is
drawn in at the sides to replace the ris-
ing air. This rises, condenses its moist
ure, rises again, and so on. Aud thu:
is formed a regular vortex, which is self
perpetuating so long as moist air pours
in from below. These whirls are, so to
speak, half brothers of the preceding.
They have a mother (steam), OF better
constitution, and have, consequently,
greater expectation of life.
The first of these is what Is called
"general storm" or Glow" or slow
area" or "area OF depression" and
what the meteorologists would like to
call ''cyclone," but the public insist on
applying that name to tornadoes. The
slow" is a curiously shaped vortex, q
thin disk OF air, perhaps 500 miles
across and mile or two thick, in which
the air is pouring in on the lower surface
and rising around the centre, aud pour
ing it along the upper surface.
The "low," as described above, is a
phenomenon of temperature ATTITUDES.
When these whirls originate in the
tropics they have a different path and
much greater intensity; they are then
the hurricanes of the North Atlantic and
the typhoons of the Indian Ocean and
China Sea.
They also occur in the South Pacific
when they are also called typhoons. The
very destructive typhoon of the Samoan
Islands three years ago is an illustration,
as is also the hurricane which played
such havoc at Martinique last August.
These are the kindred Of the tornado
and the water-spout. Some of them are
gentle and small; some are gentle and
large, and others are both large aud ter
r;hle .-Washinpton Post.

A Peculiar Western Plant,

On the Western prairie is found what
is called the compass plant, which is Of
great value to travellers. The long leaves
at the base OF its stem arc placed, not
hat as in plants generally, but in a YER
teal position, aud present their edges
north and south. The peculiar propen-
sity of the plant is attributed to the fact
that both surfaces OF its leaves display
on equal rcccptivity for light (whercas
the upper surfaces Of the leaves OF most
plants are more sensitive TO light than
the lower, tho leaves thus assume YER
teal position and point north and south
Travellers on dark nights are said to feel
the edges 81 the leaves to ascertain the
point Of tie compass.-Boston Globe.

An Educated Black Bass.

A curious story is related concerning
a pool which is enclosed by one Of the
large greenhouses which stand on the
property known as Greystone, which
was the Yonkers home OF the late Samuel
J. TiIden. About two years ago Joan
Forsou, the head gardener, caught big
black bass with a hook, and as it was
very tenacious CT life, he succeeded in
saving its life after the exercise of much
care and patience. This bass is now an
inhabitant of tn, pool, over and around
which are many tropical plants.
Gardener Forsou has in odd moments
succeeded in teaching his piscatorial pet
some tricks, aud when he whistles in
ccrtaiusmauner the big fish invariably
comes to the surface OF the pool. When
he wishes it to retire, all he does is to
snap his 6ngcrs'and the fish becomes in
visible.
Another trick is the holding of G
worm or almost any insect above the
water, sometimes as high as a foot,
when the bass will jump up and seize it.
This educated fish seems to enjoy his
FRANKS as much as his master and his
friends to whom he exhibits it. These
are only few of the tricks he does.
There is also large sundsh in the
pool, but it seems too obtuse to be
taught anything, yet the two are often
seen disporting themselves in apparent
great glec. There used to be several
carp there, too, but as they have not
been seen since the black bass was in
troduced to their society, 1t is thought
they have succumbed to the laws Of
natural selection or the survival OF the
fittest, and provided sundry meals for
his bass-ship.-Ncw York Times.
