Farragut up past New Orleans:
"The Pensacola and the Mississippi
steamed slowly, with their black bulls
at regular intervals sheetng the air
with lurid fire as they replied to the
forts. Abreast of st. Philip, where the
Confederate fire wac hottest, they drew
in so close that the gunners afioat and
those ashore heartily cursed each other
as they worked"
The Mississippi was with the squad
ron again when 1t ran down past New
Orleans on the way back, fair targets
for nineteen big guns at close range.
The hardest fight that the Mississippi
ever was In was the n that ended
her. The feet was trying to run by
Port Hudson with Its powerful batter
les. None Of the squadron got by. The
Mississippi ran aground in the fog and
smoke and stuck hard and fast. In
thirty minutes she was shot full Of
holes. Her crew climbed into boats on
the side opposite the forts, and, after
setting her on fire, made for the other
side OF the river under a whitening rife
fire. Upon this occasion Lieut.. Dewey
stuck to his guns until the last and he
did not quit the ship until all others had
left. Admiral Porter singled him out
for special praise.
In July, 1868, Dewey was on the gun
GOATS that engaged the C~onfederates
below Donaldsonviile. In 1864 he was
attached to the North Atlantic block

gunboat Agawam. The Agawam was

A story told Of Carlyle in m English
review forcibly recalls the days when
in this land religious services were long
enough to test the zeal of the worship
ers. .
According 10 the story Carlyle had
been asked to take the reading at fami-
ly prayers during a short visit paid TO
his friend. the Provost of Kirkcaldy.
The Bible CHANGED TO open at the first
chapter OF the book Of Job, and Carlyle
Immediately became absorbed In his
subject, and read on and on to the end
of the last chapter, when, closing the
volume, he remarked:

Money from Herbs.

A great deal Of money can be made
from common garden herbs. Sage,
thyme, marjoram and eve catnip all
have their devotees. Most city cats
very rarely see catnip, except as a
package. If 1t Is purchased done up In
a closed and sewed bag, and given them
to play with, the antics they will per
form with this piaything are extreme
ly amusing. In the country cats find
enough catnip growing around houses.
If farmers boys would gather some of
the leaves and sew them up in balls
they could make some money out OF
the business. There IS nearly always
a good demand for herbs used in max
ing the dressing for fowls and other
baked meats.

There Is no garden vegetable that
will respond more markedly to rich
land and good cultivation than toma-
toes. A tomato plant will grow on a
manure pile and flourish all season
there, and in planting them 1t pays to
take some pains to have them stand
on a very rich soil. Make the plot
where the tomatoes are to stand very
rich with manure, and then dig a hole
and dump two or three shovelfuls of
fine n In the bottom of 1t, and
set the plants above this. Drive a
stake by each plant as soon as 1t Is
transplanted, and keep the plant tied
to 1t with strips of cloth, and the fruits
will not rot when they begin to ripen.
The tomato Is one of the plants that
does better for transplanting, and, If
they are transplanted two or three
times, they only grow o stocky and
produce better. There is not n bit of
danger of losing tomato plants by
transplanting, as they will grow from
a slip almost as we'll as from n rooted
plant. Keep them well cultivated, and,
If the weather comes off dry, give them
plenty of water. and the crop is certain

There Is no known remedy for corr

George Dewey, the hero of Manila,

When Fort Sumter was fired upon
Dewey was promoted from ensign to
lieutenant and assigned to the steam
sloop Mississippi, which was to take
part in the fierce fighting of the West
