The swamp angel.

The eight-inch Parrott gun, known as
the Swamp Angel" will be recalled
by many who were old enough to read
and understand the skirmishes and
raids and battles during the civil war.
The story of it's construction is about
as follows: The colonel of n regiment
of New York engineers was ordered by
Gen. Gilmore in 1863 to mount the gun
on Morris island, South Carolina, the
place being designated as about mile
out in the swamp, and TO make requisi-
ton for all needed appliances. The
colonel made survey of the place
designated, viewing it from the nearest
dry land, and then sent in requisition
for ''two hundred men thirty feet high
to work in a swamp twenty feet deep"
Gen. Gilmore, not appreciating this bit
of humor from his subordinate, placed
him under arrest, andthe officer found
1t hard task to get relieved. The gun
was subsequently mounted by the
colonel, and it was dubbed the Swamp
Angel" after astonishing both federals
and confederates BY sending shell
from Morris island twenty-one thou
sand feet into the streets of Charleston
and making a great slaughter. 1t fred

saw something loom up and rush
past me. 1t was bill" and his mule.
"Bill's" teeth were imbedded in the
animals ear, and blood trickled down
the side of its head. Bill was all
bumped up on the back of his mad
steed and presented most ludicrous
sight. The turkeys Topped their wings
and the chickens made n terrible clat-
ter, which only served to make the
mule go faster. l heard the Johnnies
behind us laugh. They fired at US,
but we were not hit. l am sure tina
they could not have hit BILL" for he
was being carried along at great
speed.
Through the picket line of our regi-
ment and on through the camp went

and down at every jump. AS soon as

enemy gathered all of my lung power
and shouted:

succeeded in stopping the mule, whose
sides went in and out like a big bel

The Constitution was assigned place
with the old ship ranged in a line
called Rotten Row. And there she still
lies, the only one left of that venerable
group of naval pensioners. In a few
years more nothing will be left of the
Constitution" but n memory and a
name. There is something very pathetic
about the old hulk, moored by the
wharf of the navy-yard, entirely alone.
A roof has been built over her to fit her
for receiving ship but it sadly dis
figures her appearance. She cannot
last long without repairs repeated from
time to time. And yet, as matter of
patriotism, she ought to be repaired
and preserved, as nearly as possible, as
she formerly looked. 1t would cost
only few thousand dollars. Do not
the people of the United States, who
owe so much of the national glory to
her, owe it to themselves now to keep
up the old ships. G. w. benjamin, in

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
thediseased portion of theear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an intlamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have arumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mucous sur
faces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

And Bill Chowed His Ear to Make |
Him Go.
In the rotunda of the Auditorium
hotel recently several veterans of the
war were seated around in circle tell
ing of some of their war experiences.
One of them related the following Incl
dent:
Our regiment was in camp at Har-
per's Ferry, and one bright morning
a comrade and l secured permission to
visit farmhouse some distance away,
where we knew there was some poul-
try. We rode horses and had some
money in our pockets to purchase the
chickens and turkeys we desired, for on
this occasion we had made up our
minds to forego foraging, but later cir
cumstances arose that made 1t neces-
sary for us to forget our good resolu-
tions. Turning our horses into grass
field, which was but short distance
from the house, we left them to Craze
at will On reachinget the house we met
the farmer on an old-fashioned porch
that ran the whole front of the quaint
farmhouse. / told the farmer that we
had come to buy some of his poultry, at
which his southern blood began to boil.
He swore he'd rather see every chicken
and turkey on the place rot before he
would sell them to any blamed Yankee
for thousand times what they were
worth. That settled 1t with us. Our
northern blood had reached fire heat.
We could not stand such an insult
and went straightway to the barn,
where fine lot of fowls were peclSing

yard were two fine, sleek mules
Throwing my string of fowls over the
back of one and jumping astride the
animal, shouted to "Bill"-that was
the first name of my comrade-to fol-
low my example. He did so, and 1
took the lead for the camp. The mule
that l was on had taken but a few
jumps when heard "Bill' shout:
Holy smoke! He's balked, jim"
looked around and sure enough the
mule had ballsed. The Johnnies were
close at hand, and shouted back to
"BilI':
Crawl on his neck, Bill, and chew
his ear"

pertinent. He got the end of the ami

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet

der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime sui

Certain protection from alum baking powders
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

hearu the gentle SaDpatn DellS
OF Sharpsburg's dreamy town.
No roar OF battle stirred the air
Along the dusky ridge,
A mother quail Yves calling where
Stood Burnsides famous bridge;
Z saw no Cray, saw no Blue,
For each looked In vain;
How sweet and fresh the clover grew
That iay in Bloody Lanel
The bunker church looked sad and lone;
Upon its crumbling walls
saw, from cave to neither stone,
The marks OF musket balls;
A cricket chirped where Mansfield fell,
Upon leaflet brown;
And silent was the little dell
Where Fighting Joe" went down
It was not thus in Sixty-two,
One fair September day,
When on Antietam's field the Blue
Heroic met the Gray.
When back and forth, from ridge to ridge,
The tide OF battle rolled;
And valor took and held the bridge,
As history hath told.
Amid tho smoke you stood that day,
o, heroes OF renownl
AStlOIt blC oCIllGd Vi
Your comrades brave went down.
The fair grass wore CHASTITY hue
Where battled man with man,
And twixt the lines Of Gray and Blue
Antietam crimson ran.
You know how like stone wall stooe
The stubborn lines of Lee,
How far and wide. In field and wood
Flashed hell's artillery;
The pail of battle hid the sun,
The earth shook meath your tread,
The stars came out when day was done
10 shine upon your dead
They lay in wind rows where they died.
In fight before the Gray
Colonel and private side by side,
Death knew no rank that day;
The wounded lay in Sharpsburg's town
With faces wan and white,
And o'er tho battlefield came dowu
The soft and silent night.
For you who stood that autumn day
Amid the smoke OF war,
And held above the bloody fray
The banner OF the star,
I'd weave 4 denthless wreath OF fame,
A wreath Of fadeless hue,
I'd crown it with Antietam's name,
W. "CaICES VI Iuc DUO.
The STRIPPING who amid the frey
With cherished comrades stood,
And saw the war cloud roll away
From dark Antietams wood,
Has furrowed brow and silver hair,
His gait, perchance, is slow,
But still u boy he battled there
A Gypsy long ago
No more he guards the silent camp
Upon the foeman's ground;
No more with restless, stately tramp
He makes his nightly round;
AT home with grandchild on his knee,
He tells in shade and sun,
How once in Maryland from Lee
Antletam's field was won
BIS comrades sleep around the tree
Beneath the starry dome;
A requiem sings the restless sea
For those who come not home.
For them no drums of battle beat
Advance or overthrow;
For them no bugle sounds retreat,
No dreams of skullSing foe.
To-day I'd crown with poets wreath
Tho brave. the good, the true,
Who faced the fre-swept lines OF deatf
In Freedoms holiest Blue
Who stood in battle side by side
Before the hosts OF Lee,
And saw with dark and crimson tide,
Antietam seek the sea
Ere long the sweetest bloom OF May,
Stnr-Eiss'd will softly lie,
Upon tho brave who stood that day
Meath Marylands azure sky;
But gratitude their fame will speak,
And love their deeds will crown.

Flows past old Sharpsburgs town,
