Tho capturo of Fort Fisher, the Con
federate stronghold, commanding one
entrance to Cape Fear Itiver, is described
by a writer in the Chicago Inter- Ocean.
Tho combined assault by tho Federal
array and navy force took place January
14, 1805, and was witnessed by tho writer
from one of tho nttnoking vessels. Ho
says:
Tho 14th of January broko char, nnd

ever, so that their keels were close to the

pletely isolated, amt no nioro military

and cotton meant gold, the stnows of

Fort Fisher had been pronounced im

was said to be much stronger than the

days. I do not find any difference iu thu
slmpo^size, quality, or number of eggs,
whether cocks nro kept with the
Hook or not; but if I wero keeping lions
for tho produc tion of eggs only I would
not keep many, if any, cocks, ns they
would consume considerable food nnd
givu no ret irn whatever for it. In sum-
mer nothing equips grass as a green food,
cither for poultry or for anything elso.
In winter anything that comes the near
est to grass would undoubtedly be tho
best. For the farmer who keeps only a
moderate-sized flock the refuse of cab
bage, potatoes, i te., from the kitchen,
; cut up fine and fed t > tlie fowls is, in my
| opinion, the most economical and tlie
I best green food. To cure tho liens of the
desire to sit, stmt them up iu ft small
I coop, giving plenty of water und feeding
sparingly, though by no means starving
! them.
Making a total for twenty-five

I don’t suppose so many rich men havo 1
ever boen collected together in one body,
and when you consider that there are a
dozen men in the House whose aggregate
wealth amounts to over $40,000,1)00, you
will see that this Congress is the richest
ever brought together in nny country.
Think of tho enormous income of theso
Fruit. Notes.
As soon as the blossoms drop from your
fruit trees, commence spraying them
with London purple or Paris green water
to destroy the insect pests. Do not fail
to spray the currant bushes, when woims
commence their work, xvith white pow
dered hellebore, a spoonful to a largo
pail of water.
If you have only n small garden bed of
strawberries, cover them over with news
papers when in danger of frost. If large
beds of strawberries, burn brush heaps
and saturate boards with gas tar, and
over these throw sod and wet straw to
make n smudge.
Straw or hay scattered thickly over
men, and ns you do so remember that tho _
_ millionaire can turn his money so that it j rows of strawberries will protect from
occasions we could eee the officers spring j often brings him much more than six per frost. Two or three persons can prepare

straighten out again, leaving many a I men have greater incomes than many of acres. And this work pays, too, for
poor fellow behind with the salt sand I Kings. Leland Stanford’s property must " c,, ‘

provido supplies, lie had barrels of sand
with powder covering tho top, placed in
tlie magazine, so that any spy hnuging
about might bo misled. Some of tho
soldiers wero in touts, some were quar
tered in one or two college buildings then
standing, and some built huts for them
selves. The most orderly camp was thnt
of (he Rhodo Island troops, under Gen
eral Nathaniel Greene.
The men were in companies of various
sizes, under enptuins and other officers
who had very little authority over the
privates, for thore usually elected their
own commanders. A visitor to tlie camp
relates a dialogue which he hoard be
tween a captain and one of thc privates
under him.
“Bill,” said the Captain, “go and
bring a pail water for the men.”
“I shan’t,” said Bill. “It's your turn
now, Captain; I got it last time."
But the men, though under very littlo
discipline, were good stuff out of which
to make soldiers. Most of them wore in
dead earnest, and they brought, besides
courage, great skill in tho use of thc or
dinary musket. A story is told of a com
pany of riflemen raised in ono of the
frontier counties of Bennslyvania. 8o
many volunteers applied ns to embarrass
the leader who was enlisting the company,
nnd ho drew on a hoard with chalk the
figure of a nose of the common size,
placed the board nt the distance of a
hundred nnd fifty yards, nnd then de
clared lie would take only those who
could hit the mark. Over sixty sue-
ceded. “General Gnge, take care of
your nose,” says the newspaper that tells
the story. General Case, as you know,
was the commander of the British forces
in Boston.—St. Nicholas.
A Princely Claim.
Thc claim of Myra Clarke Gaines to thc
heirship of Daniel Clarke, tho Irish mil
lionaire merchant, land speculator und
politician of Nexv Orleans of eighty years
ago, has been n vcritablo ronianco of liti
gation. Nearly thirty years ago tlie Su
preme Court of tho United States decided
favorably to her claim, but this boro no
ready fruit. May 3, 1883, Judge Billings
iu tlie United States Circuit Court of
Louisnna decided tho case of Mrs. Gaines
against tho City of New Orleuns in favor
of the plaintiff, tho suit having been
pending for many years. The case lmd
previously been referred to a master in
chancory, who, March 10, reported to
the court that tho city was indebted to
Mrs. Gaines for rent nnd property that it

had wrongfully disposed of in 1807, iu
tho sum of $824,OUO, with interest
amounting to $770,401, making a total of
$1,004,002. Council for the city filed
exceptions io this report, and Judge Hill
ings decision was the result. It confirmed
the report of -the master in chancery, but
he added certain interest to the amount
mentioned, bringing the amount of tho
judgment against the city up to $1,025,-

ment. The fire of small arms now be
came incessant, as the assailants begnn
to respond.
After what seemed a long delay we
saw the line pais through the obstruc
tion, and, in another moment, they and
their colors were seen on one of the
western mamelons, sharply defined
against the sky. Then there was a
sharp musketry fight, and men, killed
or wounded, rolled down the steep in
cline; yells of defiance nnd shouts of
command grow louder and louder, and
then there came a rush, a pell-mell strug
gle, and we saw the colors slowly rise,
A Ghastly Story.
A ghastly story comes from Cape
Tiburon, Hayti, according to Dr. Felix
L. Oswald. Three brotheis, sons of the
native pilot Marsette, left their home on
the beach and began to supply the mar
ket of Tiburon and Grand Guavo with
meat. The specialty was an attractive
variety of fresh pork steaks that found a
ready sale, till ono d ly a storm-flood
washed out a sand bar at the mouth of a
neighboring bayou and revealed a whole
abattoir of carved human corpses. Sus-
and then established on the top of the picion at once pointed to the Marsette
next mound. Then more fighting, another
rush, and the next mound wns taken,
after the most determined resistance.
Seetncr this, General Terry signaled thc
Ironsides to fire into the easterly traverses
nnd clear them out, which was done with
wonderful precision, until the advancing
fight rendered the shelling as dangerous
to our own troops as to the enemy.
The Confederates fought liko tigers,
and the sun went down and night closed
in while this desperate infantry fight was

nftor such frost berries will sell high,and
those who have the largest crop will reap
the greatest profits.
It will pay farmers and. gardeners all
over the country to plant poach, plum
nnd cherry pits and to grow them in nur
sery rows,' letting them stand out through
tlie winter. Those that go through un
harmed may be planted out. In this way
hardy sorts may Ire stiuck that will stand
in localities where varieties now known
cannot be grown. Blackberry nnd rasp
berry seed may be sown this summer,
from which to secure ironclads.
One cause for mildew on gooseberries,
grapes nnd thc like is too much foliage,
or being grown with too thick tops.
Thin out thoroughly, und you will pre
vent the mildew to a great extent. Cur
rants und gooseberries should he well and
heavily mulched with nny coarse litter.
Bugs may be kept away from squashes,
cucumbers'and the like if the latter
plants are covered with frames six to
eight inches high nnd a foot square. Do
not take these frames away until the
vines fill them up. If iu danger from late
frost, cover the frames over with heavy
paper.

Drilling a Snob.
Do you happen to know, says a New
York letter to tlie Chicago Herald, that
tlie chaps who lounge in the daytime as
gentlemen iu New York aro apt to bo
professional gamblers? It is so. They
work at night, sleep through the fore
noon, and become mashers in the after
noon.Attlie houseof a teacherof dancing
and deportment I saw a fellow put
on his overcoat and depart.
“What is ho learning?” I asked.
“To be a gentleman,” was the reply,
“He is a gambler. lie gets good pay.
His afternoons are on his hands, lie is a
masher. He poses and promenades in
Broadway, leers at the girls, flirts with
thoso who will reciprocate, and is posi
tively infatuated with the diversion.
Successful with shop girls, he aspires to
higher game; and conscious that he rc-
qiresm >re polish and grace if ho would
fascinate politer girls, he is taking a
course of training fftrm me. I have been
drilling him in swallowtail manners-
how to bow, walk and stand as culti
vated gentlemen do in ball rooms and
swell parlors. He is dudishly handsome,
and when I graduate him nobody will be
able to distinguish him from a genuine
snob.”
fondants had kept tho plaintiff out of tlie
enjoyment of lrer property for forty
years, and the loss to the lutter was rep
resented by the judgment given. This
judgment the city refused to pay, alleg
ing nulla bona, whereupon Mrs. Gaines
applied to the court for a mandamus com
pelling tlie city to lovy and collect n tux
to pay it. After long arguments on both
sides the case wns submitted, nnd June 18
1883, Judge Billings rendered his decis
ion, requiring tho city to levy and
collect the amount of judgment nnd
interest less $40,000 already seques
tered. June 27 Judge Billings permitted
thc city to bond the mundumus on giving
a $50,000 bond pending an appeal to thc
Supreme Court. October 10 tho record
in the case was forwarded to Washington.
Thirty-two copyists had been at work for
three mouths preparing the manuscripts.
It was bound in one volume containing
0,403 pages and weighing 192 pound,
Since then the court has rendered several
judgments against Mrs. Gaines and or
dered execution against her property.
May 22 last a motion to mandamus the
city to fund thc judgment was argued be
fore Judge W. B. Woods of the United
States Supreme court, sitting in the Cir
cuit Court, and he refused on the ground
that tho judgment was not yet final, be
ing still on appeal to the court of last
resort. When Mrs. Gnines died, January
9, 1885, she was in straightened circum
stances, and admitted that the judgment
she had obtained at cost of so much effort
had in thc main passed'into the hands of
lawyers, speculators and money-lenders.
