by the Court.
From Thursdays Daily.

The grand jury completed their labors
this afternoon and we're ischarged. In
dictments were brought in against P.
Moran, Chas. White and F. Delaire, and
against Sallie Campbell Mr. Moran ap-
peared ard plead mot guilty" Bonds
were fixed in the sum of $500.
In the recommendations which the
grand jury made occurred the following:
1t is of the opinion, from the evidence
which has been introduced before tie
grand jury in relation to the violation OF
the laws regarding bawdy houses and
the sale of liquors, that the officers of
the city have 1t in their power to save
the county considerable expense by the
careful enforcement of the laws and by
a more careful supervision Of the police
force. 1t is of the opinion that the po-
lice force. which has been ample, has
not been efficient in looking up and
bringing to justice violators of the law.
It is also their opinion that the license
ordinance of the city is used as a cover
for the sale OF liquors and it is respect
fully recommended that the license ordi-
nance be repealed by the city council.
Thev recommended that the vault
protecting the county records be made
fire proof, if 1t is not SO now, and that
some arrangements be made so that
female prisoners snail be kept in the
county Jail in comfortable quarters. No
way exists at present of heating room
except the ore occupied by the male
prisoners.

this battle that Admiral FarTagut,
lashed in the rigging of the Hartford
conducted the battle amid a rain Of
shot and she'll
At five o'clock on the morning Of
August the signal was given for the
advance ON Mobile. The sloop Of war
Brooklyn took the lead and the old
Hartford followed. The five sloops
of war came next, each sloop having
L. gunboat lashed on the port side to
take her through If her machinery be-
came disabled. The Brooklyn was
given the lead because she had four
chase guns and a contrivance for pick
ing up torpedoes. The four ironclad
monitors Tecumseh, Manhattan Win
nebago. and ChickaSaw, formed an
other line to the right of wooden ships,
between them and the foris. Six
steamers We're placed south and east
0f Fort Morgan to maintain a flank
fire upon 1t. An hour after the start
the combatants Were within range
and the firing began Immediately and
was heavy and destructive on both
sides. The smoke of the battle hung
over the fleet, and the Admiral mount
I'd into the port rigging of his flag
ship. He gradually climbed higher
movements of the enemy and shout
ing his instructions to the officers be-
low. The Hartford was then in the
thick of the fight and Capt. Drayton,
fearing that Admiral Farragut would
fall to the deck in case he was wound
Ell, sent up quartermaster with q
piece of lead line which he passed
around the Admiral and secured him
to one of the shrouds.
1t was while Admiral Farragut was
thus lashed in the rigging that an in
cident happened which showed the
kind of stuff the old Hartford's COM
mander WIS made of.
The Brooklyn, dead ahead, stopped
suddenly. and this seemed likely to
throw the whole line into confusion.
''What is the trouble?" was shouted
through a trumpet from the Hartford.
'Torpedoes," was the answer.
% the torpedoesw exclaimed
Farragut. -Four bells! Capt. Dray-
ton, go ahead"
Thus the old Hartford passed the
Brooklyn, took the place at the head
If the line and led the fleet into the
bay. The battle was hot and ended
IN Il glorious victory for Farragut and
he Hartford. 1t was costly, as the
uftuon;u loss was 900 men, including
fifty-two killed and 113 drowned in
the TecumSeh.
The Confederate feet lost ten killed,
sixteen wounded and $50 prisoners.
Again the old Hartford had shown her
quality as a fighter and the accom-
nnying view of the sloop-of-war
shows he ship as she appeared in
Mobile Bay after the battle. The
'tunted appearance of her masts is
lue to the fact that her top gallants
were housed.
During her career as Admiral Far
rlgut's flagship the Hartford contend
ii wi h forts, fire rafts, fleets, hidden
tOrpedoes, obstructons and the ele.
mcnts and was ever victorious. After
;hc war the Hartford did station duty
nat Performed no service of any inn
portapce.

Hannah was Aroused.

"Maria," said SimplSins, as he looked
up at the sunlight streaming through
the window, do you suppose the girl
has got up yet?"
Mrs. Simpkins listened for moment
and not hearing anything breaking in
the kitchen, replied, No"
IN call her." replied Simpkins, as
he slipped out of bed and into the hall
way and shouted: Hannah
But Hannah slept on, and Simpkins,
after repeated calls, prayed softly to
himself, and bruised the skin of his
hand knocking on the door. Then he
came back and talked vigorously to
Maria about hired girls and hers in
particular.
"I'n wake her up" he finally said,
gleefully, and then he got out his IA
calibre revolver and broke his teeth
getting the bullets out of two car.
tridges. Then he hustled out again in.
to the hallway and fired salute at
Hannah's door, followed by another
In an instant he heard Hannah scream
from the kitchen below. She was up,
and had been for half an hour. Con.
sequently she it was who let the big
policeman, the baker, and the milk
man in at the front door, and it took
Simpkins ten minutes to convince them
that he had not murdered his wife
Maria, however, as soon as she was
visible, Strengthened things out, but
somehow Simpllins feels that neither
the hired girl, the baker, the milkman
nor the policeman look upon him as q
man of great brain power.--Philadel.

BRAVE OLD HARTFORD.
THE LAST OF OUR HISTORIC
SHIPS AFLOAT.

To be Thoroughly Rented and Carry
Our Flag Again-A Worthy Represen-
.ntiyo of the Old Navy-Some Remini-
sciences of Forragut.
The recent loss of the Kearsage
leaves the historic old Hartford, Ad-
miral FaiTagut's flagship, as the sole
active representative of our old
wooden navy. Everybody has heard
of the Hartford, which figured so con
spicuously in the iiercely fought battles
of Mobile and New Orleans. The
obituary of the Hartford is yet to be
written, as she will so into active ser
vice again soon, as provided 10y re-
ccnt act Of Congress. 1t will cost
SGOO.OO0 to put her in first class order
again, and it took a special act Of
Congress to provide the money.
The history Of the Hartford Is
bound up with that of FaTagu, whose
flagship She was when that gallant
sailor won Il reputation equal to, and
by some competent judges regarded as
greater Than that of Nelson
Admiral Farraguts flrSt appearance
on the old Hartford was on February
2, 1862, when he sailed in her from
Hampton Roads on his way to New
Orleans to take command of for
midable expedition which was fitted
out to reduce the defenses of New
Orleans and capture the city. The
old sloop of war flew Admiral Far
ragut's flag and continued as his flag
ship. The bCmbardment of New Or
leans and the destruction of numerous
Confederate fortlfications along the
banks of the Mississippi with the
single exception OF the fall of Rich
mond were the most important events
in the war of the rebellion, and the
old Hartford came out of the engage
ments with flying colors.
When the old flagship was examined
at the navy yard it was found that
she had been struck 240 times by shot
and shell during her nineteen months
Of service. Several shots had gone
clean through her hull and her top
masts We're shot away. She was then
laid up for five months, during which
time she was refitted. and in January,
1864, she was again called upon for
active duty. Admiral Farragut re-
turned in her to the gulf, visited Ship
Island, established depo.s of supplies
and prepared for the long meditated
attack upon Mobile. 1t was during

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.

Rice Waffles.-To half pint of rica

tablespoonful of butter. Set it to

Fried Apples.-Fry out several
slices of salt pork. Wash, core and
cut the apples in slices and fry them

done, turn and brown the other. Lay
them on n platter, but do not pile
them on top of each other. Do not

The Kitchen Pantry.--In the United
States the words buttery and pantry
are somewhat synonymous with the
larder. With us they mean about the
same thing-a place for the storage of
household utensils and provisions. At
first glance the buttery would seem to
mean a place where the butter is kept,
but this is an errooeous derivation.
1t comes from bottlery, the place
where bottles are kept, and this still
the meaning of the word in various
parts of England.

Nuns in China.

Nuns in China belong chiefly to the
lower classes, the poorer parents be-
ing willing to sell their daughters TO
the service of the convent. The chill

mosphere and eventually join the or
der. Poor widows also frequently
solve the self-supporting problem by
entering convent When the women
are merely novlces the front of their
head is shaved. When the novitiate
is completed-whlch cannot be until
the end of the candidates sixteenth
year-the entire head is shaved The
nun vows to lead chaste and ascetic
life Her diet is purely vegetable;
meats and liquors she must avoid. She
must hold no intercourse with men
and must take no interest in worldly
affairs. Her religious duties, which
she promises faithfully TO perform, are
mainly prayers, ceremonies and the
care of the altar, ON which the v-,tal
fire must not die out. But the CHEESE
nun enjoys n good deal of freedom.
She may walk all about the town. Her
spare time is spent in tending the sick.
And as the Buddhist priests have very
little intercourse with Chinese women.
the nuns are the religious instructors
of the feminine part of the community,
and thus exercise great influence.

is, give them exercise by throwing their

How Piss Are Foupder.d.

1t Is quite easy TO overfeed, and, Oh
1t Is termed, to founder pigs All there
Is to do Is to give them all the food
they will eat, as they are 80 greedy as
to eat more than they can digest Then
they become stunted and do mot grow,
and, being sick and weak, they soon
become prey to lice and other vermin.
The remedy when this mistake has
been made Is to stop the feeding and
give only little for several days until
they recover q proper tone Of the stom-
ach. Pigs should never get more than
half as much TODD as they will eat un.
til they are put up for fattening. They
should also get little salt In every
feed; about one teaspoonful. olevel. is
enough for large pig. When pigs are
feeding on oak mast they should have
one feed day of milk slop with lit
tie bran or meal In It. Two quarts for
a hundred-pound pig are quite enough
under these circumstance
