War 'sketches. • There was nothing that ga»e the Union fire's more dinturtifticc than torpeK does, Rebel "Davids" as the submarine £ boats that placed them were called in , the South Atlantic Squadron. And there . was ample cause for this, aa the disaaI ters to Ibc "Houaatonic" the "IjonyUlcs" 1 and Monitors proved. Th%> David that sunk the Hoasatonic dnl it» work in a I few minutes, the noble vessel soon go. I ing to the bottom with loss of life. ■ When an attempt was made upon the Ironsides, late In the night, the. torpedo bost was seen by the officer of the deck who hailed it, and was answered ' by a charge from a shot gun which ref suited in that officer's death. Alarm was given, the heroic well drilled crew . of tb^lrOnsidca being at their* quarters - in a few minutes, hut what could they ■ do against an un>cen foe. The torpedo i waa placed against the side of the ship ' and exploded, pausing her- to careen and I tremble in every part. The ends of the • huge deck beams were splintered just where the explosion took place, but a break through the strong sides of thr ' ship was not affected by this daring effort. made black and barbarous by the killing of the oflk-cr-of- hi-.li rk who , shelling' of ibc Confederate forts next day. The ships of the Squadron in an)- way exposed to Davids, or drifting explosives had to improvise defensive armor for their safety. The inventive lalenl anij ingenuity of the officers were taxed to Ijjitwo were alike, each having novel | of the case. I remember well I be tor- • ■ pedo raft of the "New Hampshire." It , was a heavy frame work of logs, built in sections of about fifteen feet square. They were coupled together with chains. , bor was rough, as was often the case. Suspend, d from the outer edge of each tl.ng stuff, sdcurely kept iu pla-e by j shot hung along Its lower edge at eon. , vculent distances. The strength of the . concern was equal to all demands made : upon It by the r«pid current. The , and gangs made these sections on shore, i and when done they were launched . low ed | to the ship, an.1 held to bcr by huge | hawsers from each aide. The raft when - completed was in two main sec- ( tiona, ono for each side. Each of them | were made up by the smaller sections and , were over 300 feet iong. Just before t were piped down "all hands" i (sometimes that meant 1000 men), were t called to haul up the torpedo raft. If H advantage could be taken of the slack I tide it was soon put in place, but if the | wind and tide were against the efforts of f the men there was hard work at the t hawsers, the resistance of the under- j hanging mass of net and shot being so L great. Occasionally the aid of the great n capstans would have to be brought into

requisition before the job was complete. When the ship was thus protected from floating explosives, sentries were placed about it as an additional precaution. They had orders to challenge any one approaching, and if the object was an Inanmatc one to open fire without ceremony. The rattle of musketry from thing after a time, ihafl^as ; scarcely noticed, the false alarms I cing ao frequent. Any bit of drift stuff was sufficient to start off the miniature bombardment. One dark night I waa ordered to take boat's crew and do some service about fleet. In the hurry of getting off. to get the countersign- The duty mo out of the ship till after the sentries had been changed on tho torpedo raft, the new ones coming on having no Iknowledge that an officer and crew were in the harbor. It was without any anticipations of possible disaster that I gave orders to return to ship. Her big hull wss faintly outlined against the sky, lighu being out Just as the boat rounded the stem, a hall, "Boat ahoy," in freshest Milesian, came over the dark waters. "Hallo I " response, was rhouted back. "Fwbal's countersign ? " "Lay on your oars" was ordered, but the bost shot ahead opposite the leniry, who without any formula leveled his musket and "whlx" whistled a ball over the boat. The other sentries thought Ihey'tnttsl fire too, and the fnsllade would have soon made short work of the boat's crew had not the offlcs-of-the-dcck, who recognised voice and was, too, expecting the boat's return yelled out. "Stop that firThat was a close call, for we only a few rods from the sentries. exercised more caution after that. There were ,m any other strange occurrences about that raft, I may tell some more of them in the future. H. W. H. Talk of origlpallty. It was original and pretty, and .an astonishing idea for an unsentimental man to conceive of. A lady up town was showing to bet friends very handsome ring her husband had given her. It was an oval of diamonds, with three' pretty little opaque bluish white stones in the centre. Nobody could tell what thoae stones were, and everybody got curious to know. She did Dot know herself. Her husband had not told her. They insisted on his telling. " Well, my dear, they are the first little teeth cut by our three children. 1 jared them one by one, and— there they A Prohibitionists wis talking with a New Jareey Assemblyman about half to three-quarters full. ".You are not in favor of local option, thenr said Problb. " Local option nothing," replied the AsaemWyman. emphatically. " Whai I want Is general option on all the llckei In town."

Discing the Tunnel at Ltbby From an illustrated- article in the . March Century, by a participant, we >- quote the following: "Work conid only j » be possible between the honrt of 10 at , " nigh), when the .room was gam-rally | ' abandons] by the prisoners because of , " the morning, when the earliest risers 1 were again astir. It was necessary to do . 1 the woik with an old jack-knife and one j h of the chisels previously secured by j '■ outside the door and within ten feet of ■ ] 1 the fireplace. A rubber blanket was j - procured, and the soot from the cliim- j 1 ney carefully swept into it. Hamilton, j ( r with his old knife, cut the mo. tar Ire- j » tween the bricks anil pried a dozen of ' Uiem out being carefgj^ to preserve , 5 llieln whole.

0 the long, dark room up the stairway. ' over the forms of several hundred men, <1 and disregarding consequences and sav. room, he trampled upon arms, legs, ? foccs, and stomachs, leaving riot and » blasphemy In his track among the rudely t awakened and now furious lodgers of » the C'hickamauga room. He sought the ■ siecping-placo of Major Georgo H. Fitz1 Simmons, but he was missing. He hows ever found Lieutenant F. F. Bennett, of - the 18th Regulars (since a major in the - 0th United Slate Calvary), to whom he told the trouble in a few hasty words. e Both men fairly flew across the room. I dashed down the stain, and by their . united efforts, Rose, half dead and quite f speechless, was drawd up from the fcare ful trap." Marlon Harlana's Opinion of Baking Powders. , Our readers have doubtless noticed the numerous discussions by the scientists and hygienists as to the reistire 5 value of the various "baking powders. A . careful sifting of the evidence leaves no donbt asto the superiority of the Royal Baking Y'owder in purity, wholesomeness and strength, from a scientific • stand point. An opinion, however, that " will weigh heavier than any other with a our practical house-keepers, is that given „ by Marion Harland, the best known and most popular of American writers upon 1 matters pertaining to the science of dof mesllc economy, of house keeping, and j home cooking. In a recent letter to the Philadelphia Ijtdia Home Journal, this writer says: "I regard the Royal Baking Powder e as the best manufactured and In the t market, so far as I have any experience , in the use of such compounds. Since the introduction of it into my kitchen, r ihree years ago, I have used no other in ■- making biscuits, cakes, etc... and have e entirely discarded for such purposes the home-made combination ot one-third ' soda, two-thirds cream of tartar. "Every box has been in perfect con- •- ditlon when It came into my hands, and e the contents have given complete satisfaction. It is an act ot simple Justice, and also a pleasure, to recommend It unqualifiedly lo American housewives. Marios Hariaxu. J ' Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 80, 1887."

Two New Irish Stories. At the Wiilard, tho othernight, Con. | O'Neill was asked if there was | such a thing as a new Irish story, and < he said there was. Father Burk was | Ibc priest who made a slip of the tonguo i preaching about the B.UO'JI loaves and I 3.000 fishes which were fed to seven peo- ! pie, and Mickey Fecncy nudged his i neighbor and said that was no miracle; [ he could do It himscll.

It was after this had been told that O'Neill was called on for his brand new Irish story. He said there was a well-to-do Irishmara tn St. Louis who himself about to pass away. His was Mal-ncy. He sent for his old O'Connor, to come and make his will.

The sleepers covered the six floors.lying ■ in ranks, head to bead and foot to foot, 1 like prostrate lines of battle. For the general good, and to pre«ci ve something ( like military precision, these ranks (es- I pccially when cold weather compelled them to lie close for better warmth) ■ were subdivided into convenient squads , under charge of a 'captain,' who was in- I vested with authority to ace that every J man-lay 'spoon bullion.' j "No consideration of jiersonal convcn- , ience was permitted to interfere with I the general corpfort of the 'squad.' Thus when the hard floor could no longer be , endured on tho right side,— especially , by the thin men,— the captain gave the commhnd, 'Attention, Squad Number ' Four I Prepare to spoon I ' And the whole squad flopped over on tho left side." "If a person swallows poison by accl- c dent or purposely, instead of breaking t out in'o incoherent anil mullitudinous ' exclamations, dispatch some one for the ( "That sounds sensible," said Frills, r as bo read the above advice to bis wife ' one evening. Then he read: | "Meantime run to the kitchen, get i half a glass of water, put into it a tea- 1 spoonful of salt snd as much ground c mustard, catch a firm hold of the per- , son's nose, then down with the mixture [ and up will come the poison." i "There, my dear," said Frills, to his 1 wife | ''you'd better keep that in mind | in case any one should accidentally get j hold of poison and I shouldn't be at ' home. But you women fly right off the 1 handle at the very time, you ought to be J self-possessed and have all you? wits i about you. Tlic very' next day the servant came 1 rushing up stairs and gasped out: . "Oh, Mr. Fri»« swallowed half a bot- ! tie of loddynum, and—" I "Great Scott I" shouted Frills, jump- j Ing six feet straight Into the air and yelling like a Comanche.

j Our Tr|P to Avaldn"I On a late inorning.iE company with Rev. " ! E. It. Urunratc, we took a scat in a buggy « 10 which "j«ck Bright" was attached and : "f Avalon on Tolham'i^or8 Seren MUe .

Wc toon n northwardly course, ' passing through Dublin, on the nortb- »- ern b 'miliary of the corporate limits ol is Goshen, and entered the historic pre- >. >. cincts of South Dennis, where wc passed ' : through some fine farms owned and oecupied respectively by William A. Dev1- ' itt, John M (-Craven, ("apt. Fur man Lud:t lam. I-eivis Edwards, Dr. C'arll, and ex. , Senator It. S. I /earning. Reaching the Memorial Baptist Church, we turned 0 eastward, passing through a thrifty look11 ing country, until we reached 'South e S-aville where we made our first bait at the smith shop of German Corson, who is no doubt one of the best natured '• blacksmiths in Die county. Along this 1 street leading from the It R. station to the seushorc road is some fine dwellings , whose neat exteriors indicate corresponding neatness within. The large and splendid collection of plants and flowers ■r in the hay window of Capt. Henry Cor1, son's residence tells the story that there is sonic one there who admit es and culG yales the beautiful. Passing on, we 11 crossed the bridge over a branch of d Magnolia Lake, a beam if ui sheet of waler nestled away in the forest, affording excellent boating and bathing In summer and skating in winter. Near the head » of this lake one of the first setUements in I Cape May County was made by the orig- , inal John Townsend. At Die cast end stands a mill of "ye olden time" owned by Thompson VanGilder, who also owns a large ami well cultivated farm adjoin- . ing this mill properly. One of the no- .. ticabie failures of this farm is the large and thrifty young peach orchard grow1d Soon after crossing the mUl-dam we f entered upon tho turnpike leading to Sea Isle City, where we arrived about 11 o'clock. U pon our arrival we were tak- " eel in charge by Capt. J. Monroe ChcsT tcr anil his estimable wife who most n pleasingly and hospitably entertained us. After dinner we was joined by Rev. George L. Dobbins. P. E- of the Bridgeton disuirt, and Rev. Thomas Ham. i rnnnd, of Sea Isle City, and our host, e CapL Cheater. W c again took carriages and started far the south end of the beach, where wc arrived in due time. s Here we seemed a sail boat and passed over Townsend's Inlet and landed on t Tatham's beach. Soon after landing we 'mind Contractor Enos R. Williams, of Cape May City, and a large gang of men " engaged in ferrying lumber over the inlet. Mr. Williams took charge of the 1, party and escorted us over hills and through valleys to the impromptu home of himself and men, and to the site of the large hotel, the first permanent a building in Avalon. After the presiding ■ elder had learned tho location of the lot donated 10 Die authorities of Methodist Episcopal church (on which a bouse of » worship will he en cled in tne near fu1 lure) we hade our kind friends good bye ami repaired to our boat and strart- " ed safe ami sound after a very enjoyable ' day. T. Dr. Holme* on Piano Pounding. I don't Uke your chopped music, any her little linger '.ban forty musical societies— Florence Nightingale, says that folks, but the music you pound out isn't. It was a young woman, with as many . white muslin flounces around her aa the . planet Saturn has rings, that did It. She gave the music stool a twirl or 1 wo. and fluffed down on it like a whirl hands— to limber 'em. I suppose, and -pread out her fingers till they looked 1 is though they would pretty much cover ■ the keys, from Die growling end to tho : squeaky one. Then these two hands of hor's made a jump at the keys as If they , were n couple of tigers coming down on a flock of black snd white sheep, and ' the piano gave a great howl as if its tail . been trod on. i D. ail stop-so still you could hear your hair growing. Then another jump and another howl, 1 as if the piano had two tails and you had trod on both of them at once, and then a grand scramble, ami string of j -nips, up and down, backward and forstampede of rats and mice more than like anything I call mu-ic. I like to hear a woman sing, and I like to hear a fiddle sing, but these noises hammer out of their wood and Ninon" the difference between a bulland a thrush. According to private correspondence from Berlin, Prince Bitmark has been considerably troubled of late by the efof tho bullet wound be received so years ago from the revolver of a would-be a-sassin. Many peoDie have rgotten even the circumstances that tho great German Chancellor was so murderously attacked by tho youth Blind, but as a matter of fact five shots wcru discharged at him, and it was simpowing to the sturdy .way in which he grasped his assailaint'a arm that only nne of them took effect The bullet glanced off one of the Chancellor's lower ribs, and a bony, excrescence which developed Inconsequence, still marks the ' place. As it turned ont, too, Bismark's risk was by uo means at an end when , grappled with and seized his assail - ant. A military guard hurried up on hearing the Chancellor's shouts, ana the : impulse of the foremost of these stal- : wart Prussian grendlera on seeing a com- , parattyely feeble stripling being held ami seemingly maltreated bv a ponder- ' ous man with a bald head— for Bis1 mark's hat had fallen off— waa to club his lifie and bring it down on the latter'a . pite. Luckily for Germany, however. the Chancellor warded off his impending fate by shouting out: .
