forward into the waist of che vessel to

remarked that the privacyof his room

How To MAKE HOME BREwED ALE.--'4
Burton, in the Rural New Yorker, gives his
method of making home-b brewed ale as follows:
The art of brewing is very easy to be under
stood. for it is exactly similar to the process
OF ten making. Put handful of malt into
tea pot then fill it with water-the first time
rather under boiling heat. After it has stood
some time, pour off he liquor just as you
wonld tea, and fill up the pot again with boil
ing water. 10 similar manner pour that off
and so go on filling up and pouring of until
the malt is tasieless, which will be the case when
all its virtue is extracted. The liquor or malt
tea must then be boiled with few hops in il,
ard when it becomes cool euough-t that is,
about blood heat-add a IiIie yeast to ferment
il. aud the thing is done. This is the whole
art and process of brewing and TO brew a
large quantity requires just such mode of
proceeding hs it would take 10 make tea
reskiast for regiment of soldiers A peck
Of malt and four ounces of hops will produce
ten quarts OF ale, and of a better quality than
can be purchased.

lye Of soft soap by warming it in a pipkin
with sufficient water to dissolve it, but do not
let it boil then add about halt pint of whis-
key TO half a pound of the soap, and let it
cool. Have tub Of cold water, and take
each breadth separately, and rinse well in the
water but do not rub it, and then spread it
evenly upon board or table; dip piece of
flannel in the mixture of soap and whiskey
and rub thoroughly over both sides of the silk;
rinse again in clean, cold water, (out great
care must be taken 10 clean it from the SOAP
then throw it over line in the open air to
drain, but not too dry, and, by the time you
have completed the washing the first piece will
be ready to iron, which must be done with Il
hot iron-as hot as would be required to iron
piece of linen. The result will be that the
silk will look equal to new.

MIR Fulton of the Baltimore American
gives the following respecting the attack on
Charleston:


The reason why Charleston has not been
destroyed by the iron-cad fleet, even if Sum-
ter had not been taken, is the dreadful fear
that overShadowed the fleet authorities of
rebel torpedoes. FarragLt had the same to
encounter at New Orleans with wooden ships,
but he dashed into his work and considered
that the risk of life was part of the duty
of naval officer; that great risks were
necessary to secure great results


The Secretary Of the Navy sent down here
appliances to be used in removing the OBJ
structlons in the harbor. The rats and tor
pedoes have been here nearly two months,
and the attempt to take Charleston has been
abandoned without their usefulness being
considered for moment. One of the RATS
was taken in by the Weehawken, with Crap
nels attached to it to catch torpedoes, but
they refused to have the torpedoes connected
with it. They were afraid the torpedoes
might kick backward, although they had
been experimental with, and even the raft
had not been injured


One of these torpedoes, containing seven
hundred pounds of powder, would have
swept away the obstructons in the harbor
and enabled the feet yesterday afternoon to
go up and lombard the city. They were,
however, not used, and this great national
retribution was abandoned"
