CAREER OF THERAM ARKANSAS. How She Fused Throng a VMe Fed* eral Fleet, Perhaps the construction of the ram Arkansas, together with her brief but astonishing career, furnishes one of the most curious incidents in the history of the Confederate navy. The construc­ tion of the ram was begun at Memphis, ' but her hull had scarcely been launched when it was found necessary to tow it away to a place offering greater secur­ ity. One Federal fleet had sailed up the Mississippi almost to Yicksburg, while another was pounding away at Fort Pillow above Memphis, and the skeleton of the Arkansas was towed down the great river and up the Yazoo to be finished. The Yazoo was, for some months, a safe retreat for a con­ siderable number of vessels, govern- merit and private, but the Arkansas was the only one which the Federal fleet was troubled about. After the upper Federal fleet had captured Memphis and the lower one had reached Yicksburg, the Confeder­ ates began the work of locking up the Yazoo river. It is a lazy, sluggish stream, its banks low, it bottom a bed of mud and snags and, at that period, when the few plantations up as far as Yazoo City were being deserted and all traffic on the river had ceased, no local­ ity could have presented a more deso­ late aspect. The Federals would soon know what was going on up the sluggish stream, and the most active precautions were taken to prevent a visit. Gangs of men were detailed to fell trees and'con­ struct rafts at various points, little camps of scouts and sharp-shooters were established along the banks, and when the work was declared finished it had been so well done that a Federal gun-boat could not have made her way from the Mississippi to Yazoo City in two weeks' time if allowed to pass un­ molested. The Yazoo being narrow, the Con­ federates .had a great advantage to begin with. There was no rapid current to contend with in placing their rafts, and when one was secured in position it could be depended upon to remain there. In one spot in the river near its mouth was an almost solid raft half a mile long and so secured that a hun­ dred locomotives could not have pulled it apart. All the rafts were of green timber, thus baffling any attempt to burn them out, and the sharp-shooters in the woods could have easily picked off any men landing from a craft try­ ing to make its way up the river. The Yazoo was securely locked up, but the Federals consoled themselves with the idea that they held the key, They could blockade its mouth and, if they could not go up, the Confederates could not come down. The Arkansas was powerless as long as she was hid­ den away up the stream, and if she came down she would find a welcome duly prepared for her. The men in the camps scattered along the river were sorely tried. There was a weirdness and desolation that checked any enthusiasm. The stream was full of alligators--great, slimy reptiles, which slept in the summer sun by day and fought and bellowed along the banks by night. The chirp of a bird ( was a rare thing. In place of it was the lonesome scream of the crane as it sailed above the trees, and the angry hiss of the cotton-mouth and moccasin as they found their haunts invaded. The mosquitoes were a plague that at times threatened to drive every camp from the river. Under the dense shade of the banks they knew no rest, but swarmed in great clouds and bit with the fierceness of snakes. Men who oould stand marching and fighting were used up by these pests and had to be relieved from thier posts. It was ex­ pected that the Federals would nuke attempts to get up the river, but the only expeditions sent out consisted of scout-boats to examine and report on the obstructions. All tilings considered, the further completion of the Arkansas was a mat­ ter of wonder. A shipyard liad to be improvised, and every spike, bolt, rope, . clamp or piece of iron of any sort mnst be sent away for. The nearest point where any of these things c6uld be ob­ tained was Yicksburg, and the nearest railroad was at least thirty miles away. To finish the ram, required nails from one point, bolts . from another, iron plates from another, and indeed the whole Confederacy may be said to have ocntribr.ted. Had the Arkansas been built at Charleston or New Orleans, and the designs of the draughtsmen carried out, she would have been a much more for­ midable craft than the Merrimac and at least the ^qual of the Tennessee. It , was designed to provide her with powerful engines; but, after she had been hurried up the Yazoo, Commo­ dore Lynch could find nothing better than the engines belonging to a river steamer. While these would drive the steamer ten miles an hour, they would not push the Arkansas over four. Her first weak point was in her speed; the second in her roof and plating. There were a dozen vulnerable spots, and those who looked her over carefully when she was ready to sail declared that she would be sent to the bottom by the first Federal gun-boat whichgot within range. The ram was provided with ten gans, manned by a volunteer crew, and about the middle of July, . was ready to run down the river and make the attempt to reach Yicks- bnrg. She was placed in charge of Lieut. Com. Brown, and he gave the crew to understand that the ram should go to the bottom before hauling dctarn her flag. The crew was then culled over, and sucli as did not take kindly to this desperate proposition were replaced by others. Scoots, deserters and negroes had kept the Federal fleet posted in regard to the progress of the Arkansas, and when $he was ready to drop down the river her reception was likewise ready, An non-dad and two raras had run up the Yazoo about a mile to have the first dash at the Confederate, and just below the mouth of the stream the entire Fed­ eral fleet, consisting of ten or twelve craft, were drawn up in a double line. If the Arkansas got into the Mississippi she must run the gauntlet through this fleet exposed to the full broadside of each ship at short range. There was a determination to destroy her at every hazard, and no one doubted that she would be blown out of water by the terrible fire that oould be concentrated upon her. The iron-clad Carondelet, assisted by the Tyler and the Queen of the West, was waiting in the Yazoo when one morning the Arkansas was suddenly sighted coming down. ' She had passed the big raft in the night, and the heavy timber along the banks had concealed her smoke until she was close upon the Federals. The fight opened at once, and with great vigor. The Carondelet moved up to meet the ram, firing as she advanced, and her two companion-craft opened fire from their bow. guns and begun a fire of musketry at the port- shutters of the ram. The Carondelet had not fired above four shots when a solic^ shot from the Arkansas disabled her engines. A second entered one of her ports and killed five men, and in less than ten minutes she had fourteen men killed and wounded and was aground on the bank. It is claimed by the Confeder­ ates aboard the ram, and by others watching the fight from the shore, that the Carondelet struck her flag. This issue is avoided by some Federal his­ torians and denied by others. She was certainly crippled and run ashore, and her two companions were driven down into the Mississippi. Had the trio pulled down their flags in to'ken of sur­ render the Arkansas would not have gained a point. Her destination was Yicksburg, and she must reach that point to be of any benefit to the Con­ federacy. She passed the disabled Carondelet within twenty feet, steaming as fast as she could, and yet not making over five miles an hour, and when she reached the Mississippi she was in plain sight of 10,000 spectators on the bluffs at Yicksburg. The Federal fleet was ready for her, and the Arkansas was to run such a gauntlet as was never before prepared for a vessel. Orders were given the engineer to give her all speed possible, and the ram took the center of the river and steamed ahead. The moment the Confederate ap­ peared every Federal gun which' oould be brought to bear opened fire, and the ram was hit live or six times before en­ tering the lines. When the broadsides were brought to bear the effect was tre­ mendous. It seemed to the crew of the ram as if she was being lifted bodily out of the water by the heavy concus­ sions. Her speed was so slow that she was retained under fire much longer than an ordinary vessel would have been, and the striking shot and shell had every advantage. When it was seen that the Arkansas was likely to pass through the lrnes un­ scathed her way was blocked, but she did not deviate from her course an inch. The vessels in her path had to move aside or take the chance of a col­ lision with her iron beak. When the ram finally opened fire she had plenty of targets all around her, and her guns were worked rapidly and wth telling effect. She entirely disabled another gunboat, beat off two of Ellet's rams, and paid her compliments to almost every vessel in the lines. The fire upon her never slackened for a moment, and even after she had run the gauntlet she was followed and fired upon until safe under the guns of Yicksburg. Her escape was a bitter pill to swal­ low. She was ungainly, slow, under lire for the first time, and there were pot. twenty men aboard who had ever before assisted to fire a cannon. Mem­ ber of the crew were repeatedly knocked down by the concussions, and in two in­ stances became FO terrified tliat they fell down and remained hepless through­ out the affair. The Arkansas was moored to the banks by chains and ropes, her crew re­ inforced, damages repaired and then she was ready to take part in the de­ fense of the city. She had run the gauntlet with three killed and two wounded, and had been penetrated by five or six solid shot, but not materially damaged. The two Federal fleets--the one above aad the other below the city--now planned to destroy the Arkansas at the bank. The one moved down and the other up in the night and suddenly opened a terrific bombardment against the confederate batteries, the object be­ ing to silence them until the ram could be destroyed. Neither purpose was ac­ complished. The city was shaken as by an earthquake, and tons of metal were hurled back and forth, but the fleet ultimately withdrew without hav­ ing accomplished anything, Three or four vessels hurled shot and shell at the ram for more than an hour, and she replied with every gun which would bear, but the conflict added only three or four to her list of killed and wounded, and nothing of account to her damages. Again, on the night of the 22d, the fleets engaged the batteries as before, and Porter made for the Arkansas with the Essex, .believing he could strike her a blow which would crush in her side. He approached with a full head of steam on, made a dash for the monster, and struck a glancing blow which ran the Essex ashore and secured her a ter­ rific pounding before she got off. The Essex, however, was to be revenged at a later date. When it was realized what the Arkansas had accom­ plished the Confederates determined to use her to recover possession of Baton Rouge. A land force moved to co­ operate with her, but from the hour the ram left Yicksburg she was the subject of disaster. First one part and then another of her engines gave out and had to be repaired in a rude way. She got aground several times, sprung a leak twice, and was once on fire. Just above Baton Bouge her engines were again disabled and she had to make fast to the bank. WThile in this condi­ tion the Essex and other crafts ad­ vanced upon her and opened a hot fire. The career of the ram was ended. She was at once abandoned, several fires started to consume her, and when the flames were well .under way she was turned cdnft to go to destruction. The Essex had the credit of her destruction, and the monster which had caused so much anxiety for long months was finally out of the way. M. QUAD. The (irowtli of the West. Few stories of industrial develop­ ment, says an exchange, can compare with that of the Northwestern States of America. Fifty years ago only, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana were com­ paratively unexplored, while such States and Territories as Wisconsin, California, Kansas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Nevada and many other had no existence. From interesting data re­ cently issued, we find that half a cen­ tury ago Chicago had but twenty-nine voters; the first house was not yet erected in»St. Paul; San Francisco was but a struggling Mexican settlement; Milwaukee had no place on the map, and Buffalo, which had just been in­ corporated, was scarcely beginning to feel that commercial impulse, which, following the completion of the Erie canal, was destined to make it one of the most important cities of the union. The commerce of New York was very trifling, and there was no railroad l>e- tween that city and Albany. Now the progress being made in the far North­ west is surprising, and Oregon Terri­ tory is, perhaps, advancing more rapid- ly*than any other section. It is twice as large as New York State, having an area of 95,274 square miles. In 1870 its population was only 90,823, but by 1880 the number had increased to 174,- 000. Within ten years the population of Portland, its largest city, had trebled itself. The State raised 12,673,009 bushels of wheat last year, as compared with 3,127,000 bushels ten years ago, thus showing that in the decade the crop had increased fourfold. The sal­ mon fishery is another important source of revenue in this State. Washington Territory, which was formerly a part of Oregon, is also advancing. It has a good climate and fertile soil. The lumber traffic promises to be very great. Fir, pine, oak, and cedar of superior qualitity and almost unlimited quantity are to be had in the Puget sound dis- ! trict; in fact, it is estimated that this j region of the State alone will yield 160,- 1000,000,000 feet of valuable timber^ One mill there cuts up 180,000 feet' daily; another is preparing for a daily cut of 250,000 feet, while 7,000,000 feet are shipped monthly to foreign ports along the coast. Prices of lumber have advanced, and wages also have risen re­ cently. Montana is another promising Territory, with an area of 143,776 square miles or about three time the superficies of New York State. The cattle trade is being pushed forward rapidly, and it is expected that dead beef will be. sent through from Montana to New York in refrigerators. Dakota, the largest of all the Territories in the Northwest, is making great, strides in grain culture. The valley of the Red river of the North is being opened up and the use of machinery is so exten­ sive that even persons of little exper­ ience in agriculture can find the cult­ ure profitable. The Yellowstone coun­ try is another region which will shortly be thrown open to settlers by increased railroad facilities. In Nebraska the yield of wheat last year was nearly 15,- 000.000 bushels, or more than four times the quantity raised in 1873. In­ deed, the progress of the wheat cult­ ure in the West and on the Pacific slope is one of the most significant features of the agricultural develope- ment of America. Queer Lapses of the Memory. About three years ago I came to tlar- rieon Square in the cars and mounted my horse for home. After galloping about a mile I suddenly found or im­ agined I had gone wrong. I could not recall the surroundings. I turned my horse's head back and went near to my starting-place; again turned and rode home over the same familiar road that I had so often traveled. The loss of mind or identity of locality did not last more than twenty minutes. On a pre­ vious occasion I took the boat for Na- hant at 2 o'clock, dined with a friend, and slept at the house of another friend. The next morning I went home quite well. Awakening the next morning my wife alluded to my visit to Nahant the day before, of which I had given her a full account on my return. I answered that I had not been to Na­ hant, and stuck to it. The whole thing had left my xneniQry. Being alarmed, my wife sent for the doctor, who came and found me asleep. I awoke and found him feeling my pulse, and I asked him why he had come, and my wife stated the fact of my having denied the visit to Nahant. I replied: "You have been dreaming, I am very well, and do not require the dpctor." The whole details of my visit to Nahant were fresh in my memory, but the fact of my having denied all knowledge of them had become completely blotted out. Many years ago, when navigating a ship through Java Sea, one night about 12 o'clock we passed close to two little islands called the Brothers. I went below to get a map and told an officer of the deck to call me at 2 a. m., when I intended to change the course to clear a shoal of somewhat doubtful locality. I awoke soon after 3 o'clock, wholly unconscious of having been called, and went on deck and scolded the officer for not calling me at 2 o'clock. He answered that he had called me and informed me of the state of the wind and weather as in duty bound, and that I, apparently wide awake, had ordered the course altered two points. When at sea in charge of a ship I had a habit of waking up at al­ most any hour, and the end of a watch at night generally found me wide awake and preparing to go on deck to see that all was going right.--Cdpt. R. C. For be#, in Boston Traveler. The Ode Duello. The earliest case of dueling fn the United States was that of Edward Doty and Edward Lest=r, two serving-men among the. Puritans of New England. It occurred, says the quaint historian, at Plymouth in 1621. The parties were servants of Stephen Hopkins, and having a dispute they settled it gentle­ manlike with sword and dagger. Both were wounded. The Puritans assem­ bled in convention and inflicted the fol­ lowing just punishment: Doty and Lester were were ordered to l>e tied to­ gether, heads and feet, for twenty-four hours without food or drink, but the intercession of their master, their <jwn humility and promises procured their speedy release. This was the first duel fought on this continent, and they were disposed of neck and heels, the object of jeers and sneers. The duel as a form of combat is of great antiquity, authorized according to Blackstone in the laws of Gunde- bald, A. D. 501, which are preserved in the Burgundian code, and afterward it was established throughout the mon­ archies of Europe. It is a rule of the dark ages, which in the present state of civilization cannot btfrjMtifigd. -- phut Jeatanch*,- ' ^ lie 0M Creek ITiiliwtlfc. The skill in beating oat and inlaying gold and other metals to which Homer so often alludes, is attested by the re­ mains found in the tomba of Myoense, of which perhaps the most Homeric are the designs on theieal&ardsof swords, which at the time when Dr. Schile- mann's book appeared were too much encrusted with rust to be made out, but which have been recently engraved and described by Mr. Koftmanoudes. The subjects represented on these scabbards are a lion hunt, a lion attacking a herd of deer, winged monsters, fish and plants. The manes of the lions are of red gold, their bodies of paler gold, probably electrons. So with the flowers--the stalk, leaves and branches are of gold, the calyxes of electrum. The same distinction of color is observed between the sea and the fish swimming in it, and also in representing the birds--in which the color of the blood flowing from their wounds is dis­ criminated from the color of their feathers. Further variety is obtained by the use of enamel in the portions of the background. In the description of the plowing on the shield of Achilles, the poet says that the furrow behind the plowman was black, as plowed land is, although being of gold. Probably to produce a change of color, a dark enamel, such as that found in the scab­ bards, was combined with the gold. Homer, therefore, so far from inventing the shield of Achilles out of his imag­ ination, as was formerly contended, derived many details both of subject and technical execution from works of art which he had actually seen, and inspired him with a conception of what a work by the god Hephiestos himself might have been. So, again, in regard to the choice of subjects on these scab­ bards, and throughout the Mycenaean antiquities, they prove that when Hesiod described the crown of Pandora as ornamented with "all manner of creatures such as the sea and the land breed," he borrowed these ornaments from the art of his own time.--C.

To clean a white lace veil, boil it fifteen minutes in a solution of white soap and water; put it into a basin of warm suds and keep gently squeezing it until it is clean; do not rub it. Take a basin of cold water, into which put a few drops of blueing; rinse the veil in it; next rinse it in thin rice or gum arabic water. Stretch it out even and pin it to dry on a clean white cloth;' fasten each scallop down with a pin. When dry, lay a thin piece of muslin over it and iron on the wrong side. To clean thread lace, take a lar^e bottle and cover it with clean muslin and wind the face around it, securing the ends with a needle and thread; set the bottle upright in a strong, cold suds and pace it in the sun. Keep it in the sun for a week, changing the lather daily, and always rubbing it slightly when the suds are renewed. At the end of the week, take it off of the bottle, and without rinsing it, pin it backward and forward on a large pillow covered with a tight, clean case. Every scallop must have a separate pin. The plain edge must be pinned well down also. When quite dry, take it off, but do not starch, iron or press it.--Detroit Free Press THE way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what yon desire to ap­ pear. --Socrates. A Happy Wife.

"A very prominent case, but no more so than a yreat many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means " "You believe, then, that Bright's disease can be cured?" "I know it can I Know it from the ex­ perience of hundreds of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their phy­ sicians and friends." ; "You speak of your own experience, what was it "A tea f il one. I hal felt languid and un­ fitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me." When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty. I thought there was little hope, and so did the doctors. I have since learned that one of the phy­ sicians of this city pointed me out to a gen­ tleman on the street one day, saving, 'there goes a man who will be dead within a year.' 1 believe his words would have proven true it I had not fortunately secured and used the remedy now known as Warner's Safe Cure."

"A serious disease of the kidneys." "Did you think Mr. Warner oould reeover?* "No, sir. I did not think it possible, It was seldom, indeed, that so pronounced a case had, up to that time, ever been cured "Do yon know anything abont the which cured him?"
