He got into the generals tent one day
by mistake, and on repeated occasions
got lost in the other reg .ments of the

irritable, at best, and much inclined to
be exacting. He conceived violent dis

cursion was exactly after Farragut's
taste. and the two admirals steamed
down the river.
When the Benton got into favorable
position she opened fire on one of the
shore batteries. and the confederates,
who had lately received a new Whit
worth gun. were not slow in responding.
One shell entered bow port of the
Benton and killed and disabled several
men.
Matters were getting exciting, and
Farragut. after doing his best to con-
troll himself. burst out:
Hang it. Davis. must go on deck.

iron pot. and can't stand it"
And on deck he went. only compro-
missing at last through the entreaties
of his friend by entering the coming

sent him aloft in the Mobile fight. He
wanted to see what was going on. and

Admiral Farragut was very old

dice in favor of wooden ships" says
Capt. f. S. Hill in his Twenty Years at
Sea-" The admiral had gained his vic
tories in such ships, and declared him
self too old dog to learn new tricks.
In the Mobile fights his flag ship was the
wooden ship Hartford, though he was
urged to take the new ironclad Tecum-
sch. 1t was noteworthy coincidence
that the Tecumseh was the only vessel
lost in the battle. She was sunk by a
torpedo and went down with her cap
tain and more than a hundred of her
crew.
Capt. Hill was witness of another
exhibition of Farragut's aversion 10

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
AN AWKWARD SOLDIER.

He Proved to Be Very Smart COnfed-
crate Spy.
A lean, lank. half-starved looking in
dividual made his appearance one day
early in 1863 at d recruiting office in
an eastern city and expressed desire
to "go for a soldier" He had come
from the west, he said, in charge of a
car load of cattle, and as nearly every
body else had gone "solgerin" he had
about made up his mind that lie
wouldn't go home just yet. but would
try the army awhile. He had some
friends in an Illinois regiment some
where down in Tennessee. he ventured,
and if some "solger clothes and gun -
could be given him he would go down
and try to find them. He was an odd
looking genius. slow of speech and
awkward in manner. and the recruiting
officer hesitatCd for some time before
he would accept him. Recruits were
scarce. however. and the states quota
was little behind. In the end the man
was accepted and sworn into the serv-
ice.
He was sent at once to join his regi-
ment. and within a week after his en-
listment was at work in uniform learn
ing to be soldier. He was slow in &C
quiring a knowledge of his duties and
was constantly doing absurd things.

matter. Perhaps sometimes it may be.
The most horrible dreams are, however,
due to affections of the nerves. Irritated,
tired, worn out nerves are one of the chief
causes of indigestion. More than that,
they are continual strain and drain on
She brain. They are sapping the vitality
OF the brain every instant in the day. By
the time night comes, the brain is too
tired to rest. It is an unnatural condition
of fatigue. The little worries and irrita-
tons Of the day find repetition at night in
he form of dirty, muddy water, filled with
Shiny, crawling things, from which the
Liost frantic efforts give no relief until the
sufferer finds himself wide awake, sitting
up in his bed, with sleep banished for
that night That is nervousness, perhaps
caused by, or causing, indigestion, and
producing insomnia = sleeplessness. 1t
doesn't take a man long to wear out with
that sort of work The day after night
full of horrible dreams is not likely to be
a good day for business. A mans work
for that day is not likely to be very valr-
able-nor the won1an's either.
There e cure for bad dreams, sleep
less.Iess, indigestion, brain fatigue and
debility. Its name" The Golden Med
ical Discovery" called so because its dis
coverer knew that it was more valuable to
the world than the discovery of gold in
California, or Australia, or Africa. 1t
makes what is far more precious than the
finest gold-good health 1t purifies the
blood, strengthens the nerves, aids diges-
ton, invigorates the action of every organ
in the BODY, and produces firm, solid,
healthy flesh. 1t will fill out the cheek
hollows of bloodless, pale women and
nerveless, 1ifeless men. 1t is sold by drug
gists, and there is nothing lust as good. "

One of the follies of unthink-
ing, impotent journalism is the
gratuitous booming of candidates
The publishers space bears the
same relation to his success that
the lawyers advice and the doc
tors Prescriptions do to theirs. 1t
is as staple an article as the
grocer's sugar and coffe, or the
dry goods mans calicoes and
! ginghams. It takes money to
buy advice, prescriptions, gro.
ceries and dry goods. 1t should
also take money to buy news
paper space; and the publisher
who persists in this gratuitops
nonsense brands himself as a
"ninny" who is unfit in brains
and courage to occupy the san
ctum. One OF the reasons why
the newspaper profession occu-
I pies a secondary place to that of
law, medicine and theology, is
this matter of gratuitous service
SO prodigally rendered every
