THE HARTFORD. A HISTORY OF ADMIRAL FARRAGUT'S OLD FLAGSHIP. The Many Times She Was Under Fire During the Late Civil War ?How Farragnt Lashed Himself to the Rigging. The United States steamer Hartford, second rate, was built at the navy yard, Charleston, Mass. She was of 1,800 tons burden and 2,900 tons displacemeut. Her original battery was sixteen heavy Dalgren guns, ller first cruise, and on which Captain Charles Lowndes, placed ?? ? J 11 ~ ?? n /\/\mw,ulnrn in on wie rcuieu nai, as a wmiuvuv.v 18G2, commanded the ship, was to the East Indies, the vessel forming a portion of the Asiatic squadron. Ordered home at the outbreak of the civil war, the Hartford, with the battery increased to twenty-five guns, with the other vessels designated to form the fleet under Farragut for operations in the Lower Mississippi, rendezvoused at Key West in the middle of March, 1862. Commander Richard Wainright, killed in battle at Nueces River August 10, 1862, was the captain, and the vessel was selected as the flagship. According to the original plan of Farragut for the passage of the forts below New Orleans, he was to lead in the Hartford, but this was changed, and in the order tinal:y formed the Hartford led the center division. On the morning of April 24. 1862, according to signal, at 2 o'cloc k the fleet commenced to get under way. At 3 a. m. Forts St. Philip and Jackson were attacked and passed under such a lire as the world has rarely seen, the fleet continuing on to New Or- . leans and anchoring abreast of the city, having sustained a loss of twenty-four 1 killed and eighty-six wounded, taking 1 possession of the citv at noon of April 25, 1862. In the engagement and passage of the Vicksburg batteries, January 1,1803, the | Hartford, Captain James S. Palmer, sus- j: tained a loss of one killed and thirteen j wounded, Flag Officer David G. Farra- i[ gut receiving a slight contusion. On the return to New Orleans the ship again ran | the batteries at Vieksburg. March 14, , 1863, the Hartford engaged and passed the batteries at Port Hudson for co-op- \ eration in the movement of General Banks's array up Red River, sustaining a loss of two killed and six wouded. 1 The Hartford, with the steam gunboat Albatros lashed alongside, alone of the fleet reaching the 1 mouth of Red river, effectually cutting ' off the supplies for Port Hudson. In ! this engagement the United States" j frigate Mississippi was lost, being set 1 fire to ant' abandoned by her officers and 1 crew, having grounded directly under the guns of the fort. The next grand scene of action in which the Hartford participated was that of Mobile Bay. It 1 was protected at the entrance by two j strongs forts. Gaines and Morgan, the j former mounting twenty-one heavy guns ' and the latter forty-eight, and Fort 1 Pnwril hioher ud. commanded the fair v.., ?0 "JJ ; way leading to the city of Mobile. The i Confederates also had the iron-clad ram 1 Tennessee and gunboats Morgan, Selma i and Gaines. At 5 AO a. m., August 5, 1804, the Hartford, Captain Percival 1 Drayton, with the gunboat Metacomet lashed alongside, accompanied by the j other vessels of the fleet, crossed the bar. ] With the exception of the monitors, the vessels were lashed in pairs so that in case any of them were disabled they i could be towed out of action. The i Brooklyn, Captain James Alden, a ship ] of the &ame class as the Hartford, started in the lead, but when the raonitor Tecumseh, Commander Tunis A. M. , Craven, on the inshore side of the Brook- ; lyn was struck by a torpedo, going down ! with her captain and nearly all her offi- j cers and crew, only some half dozen es- , caping through the turret, Captain Al- J den stopped the headway of his ship for ( a few moments, and signaled back, 4,We , have lost our best monitor and are running into a nest of torpedoes." The gallant old Admiral made use of strong language about the torpedoes, and shouted 1 the order to CaDtain Davton "Go ahead." 1 and ringing the bells of the engine-room ! for full speed, the Hartford passed the Brooklyn and took the lead, opening a ' heavy and destructive fire on the forts. After the bombardment and passage of the forts; while the fleet was at anchor, the Confederete ironclad Tennessee, com- ' manded by Admiral Franklin Buchanan, the same officer who commanded the Merrimac in the famous battle with the Monitor in Hampton Roads, came boldly out and attacked the fleet, but was dis- 1 abled and captured. The Hartford's 1 loss was twenty-five killed and twentyeight wounded. The loss was greater ; during the fight with the Tennessee than in the engagement with the forts. The ' Hartford was struck twenty times, by the 1 heaviest shot and shell then known to naval warfare, and while in the act of ramming the Tennessee came near being sunk by the United States steamer Lackawanna running into her. She was cut down almost to the water's edge, aud for < a moment there was a belief that the ship i was going down. The men, with thorough discipline anil the stern sense of duty, strengthened by the experience of the many terrific scenes of battles through which the grand old ship had passed, - * - - j i? SlOOU uy lUL-ir siauuus. 1 mry ttciugviua; down, if go they must, like the Cumberland, with the flag flying at the fore and to the last firing their guns; but whilst they faltered not, there arose the cry: "Save the Admiral!" They deemed his life too precious to be lost, and in their pride of and affection for him uttered a loud protest against what they were afraid he would do?be the last man out of the ship. The battle of Mobile Bay was marked by an incident which has made it even more famous than the great battles of Farragut in the Mississippi. The story of how the grand old Admiral directed his fleet and fought the action, laslu-d in the rigging of the Hartford, has been illustrated in pictures and engravings, and told in poetry and prose so often and so eloquently tnat every scnooicnnu kd??s it. In the palace of the Czar of Russia, at St. Petersburg, hungsin a conspicuous place a larjre picture in which the scene is illustrated. The painting is by Page, of New York, one of the most eminent of American artists. It is an cxcellcut likeness of the Admiral, for which he sat, also giving directions as to the details. The picture, valued at several thousand dollars, is very highly prized by the Czar. The following is the correct version as told to the writer of this article by Admirato'arragut at the Occidental Hotel in this city on his last visit to California. "When the firing became very heavy, Farragut stepped into the rigging of the liartfort so as to get a better view of the ecene of action and to enable him to direct the movements of the fleet. To keep above the smoke of the guns he gradually mounted higher and higher, until he was just below the top at the masthead. Captain Drayton, seeing the hazard of liis position, cut of! a piece of the signal halliaftte and sent a quartermaster up to him with his compliments, requesting him to make the rope fast around his body and to the rigging, so that in case he was wounded he would not fall overboard. which, with the assistance of the quartermaster, was aoni*. Secretary "Whitney recently ordered that the Hartford be condemned, but has rescinded the order in deference to a public sentiment, and has directed that the old vessel should be repaired, which will be done at Marc Island navy-yard, at the estimated cost of $100,000. In front of the mizzen-mast, on the poop, just above the ship's wheel,arc the words of Farragut in golden letters: "Go Ahead."?San Francisco Call. HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. Soap. In examining the process of soap making, we learn that there is soap and soap, says a writer in Good Housekeeping. tv.. froo frnm ndnltprations. I X JUi 1 tui (U UV IV 14VV . r injurious or useless, is never the cheapest. Poor brands contaiu pulverized marble, talc or other mineral powders to give increased weight. Marble dust costs less than one cent per pound, and sometimes each pound cake contains fully one-quarter of its weight of mineral matter. The editor of a scientific magazine not long since analyzed a certain brand which had attained some degree of popularity for the toilet, and had received the indorsement of several celebrated persons. He found in it a large admixture of fine sand. His process is a long one, but any housekeeper who chooses can test the quality of soap in this simple manner: Shave an ounce of soap and put in a small bottle: nearly fill with alcohol and place in hot water till the contents are dissolved, taking care to have no possibility of ignition. Set it away to cool iind "thicken; if no sediment appears the I soap is good. It is a better way to buy only the j favorite brand of a well known manufacturer. A noted chemist says: "The label and tradesmark of a known, reliable and responsible manufacturer is the best protection the public can have against frauds, imitations and counterfeits. "When the manufacturer uses " -1*** t some ncuuous uumc uu u iuui,? umuu, no matter how attractive the soap may be, beware of it." Its ingredients, disguised under many shapes and delicate perfumery, may be repulsive or noxious. A strong, rank soap will also be i avoided by the prudent houskeeper; j whatever attacks living tissue rendering j Lhe fingers shriveled and sore, is ruinous ' to garments and fabrics. In such cases, the alkali, not thoroughly combined with the fat, is left free to eat into the clothing. And it is evident that what is too harsh for vegetable fibre is not fit for j contact with the skin. Rccipcs. Canning Curkants.?Place the fruit in the kettle with very little water, and is soon as they be<iin to boil, add onehalf pound of sugar for each quart of berries. Boil six minutes; remove from the fire and put into cans. Dried Rhubarb.?Prepare the same us for pies, by peeling the stalks and cutting into pieces an inch long. Spread it on plates, not pans, and place in a warm oven. It should dry quickly, and then be put away in paper bags. Spiced Ham.?Select a small ham, from eight to ten pounds, and have your butcher take out the bone. Fill the ham with mace, allspice and cloves,put into a white cotton bag and sew it up, and boil until thoroughly done. Take off the bag, then bake in a hot oven until browned. Molasses Cookies: Bring to a scald Dne cup of molasses, stir into it a level teaspoonful of soda; pour it, -whilefoaming, over one cup of sugar and one egg, previously well beaten together;- then idd one tablespoonful of vinegar, a teaspoonful of ginger; mix very hard and roll very thin and bake brown. ine amission of milk and shortening is intentional. Peach Pie.?Cover a deep pie plate with a pastry not too rich, ana set in a moderate oven and let dry so that it will not be soggy. Let it cool when dried and fill with cut-up peaches. Take a half dozen soft peaches, peel, take out the pits, and place in a thin muslin cloth. Wash out the juice and pulp with a wooden spoon. Pour on this a half-cupful of boiling water. Sweeten and thicken with a teaspoonful of cornstarch. Sweeten the peaches in the pie with plenty of powdered sugar. Pour over the thickened juice and cover with a rich, thin crust, having several slashes in the centre to let out the steam. With the tinger press a gutter around the edge of the pie, making a little hole occasionally so that the juice will not lun over. Bake in a quick oven. When done sift pow tiered sugar over me crust ana serve wnn n pitcher of cream. Useful Hi ins. Whiting or ammonia in water is prcfferable to soap for cleaning windows. The warmth of floors is greatly increased by having carpet lining of layers of paper under the carpet. Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks where ants congregate will drive them away. The same remedy is also good for mice. To make a good liquid glue, put one ounce of borax into a pint of boiling water, add two ounces of shellac and boil until the shellac is dissolved. Bottle for use. Sal^jatus is excellent for removing grease from woodwork which has not been painted. Spread thickly over the grease spots, moisten, and after it has remained a half-hour wash off with tepid soap suds. A nice way to freshen old-fashioned silk, making it look like new surah, is to sponge it carefully with strong coffee. While damp, lay it wrong side up on an ironing board and place paper over it, then press with a warm iron. Be sure the coffee is perfectly settled until clear before using. This is also good to freshen black lace, cashmere, ribbon and alpaca. Killed on the Rail. The number of small animals and birds killed on railroads is surprising, and it is odd to see game which hunters lind most difficult to capture meet death under the wheels of the often slow-moving coal and freight trains. Woodchwks, skunks, nearly all kinds of squirrels, raccoons, and even fleet-footed rabbits are frequently victims of the rail. Telegraph wirts, too, are deadly to winged game, and quail, woodcock and smaller birds are often killed by striking them.? Globe Democrat.

HI1U uncijuauui agiiniv unature at frequent intervals for a few hours, then pour off the clear liquid, and saturate the head with this every morning. In a few weeks every trace of the dandruff will disappear, and the hair will become soft and glossy. Toothache.?If the cavity is so great as to allow the air to reach the nerve get some spirits of nitre and mix with alum; saturate a little cotton with it and apply it to the cavity. If the pain extends upward to the eye, or takes the form of neuralgia, procure some horseradish leaves, take out the stems, wet them and apply on the face over the pain. This will generally brin<r relief. To ccne Fe;.oxs.?If at any time before suppuration corr;nenccs, plenty of ice water is used, it will never fail in producing a perfect cure. Hold the affectcd part in ice cold water as long as it can be borne, withdraw it for a rest --- and repeat. jveep up mis process half a day, if neccssary. It will at last overcome'the inflammation, and that is all there is of a felon in its first stages. Poisonous Snake Bites.?Take a spoonful of sweet oil, internally, and also bathe the wound with the same. It is said to have cured one case that had been thirty days standing. It will cure the sting of bees, spiders or other insects, and persons who have been poisoned by a low running vine called ivy. It is equally good to cure animals. To cure a horse it requires eight times as much as for a man. Fon Sore Throat.?Buy at a drug stoic one ounce of camphorated oil, and five cents worth of chlorate of potash. Whenever any soreness appears in the ' * * t _ A u1 Iliroar, put inc poiasn in mm a mmuiur of water, and with it gargle the throat thoroughly, then rub the neck thoroughly with the camphorated oil at night before going to bed, and also place around the throat a small strip of woolen flannel. This is a simple, cheap and sure remedy. Lotion* For Fiiecki/e?.?Horseradish grated into a cup of cold sour milk?let it stand twelve hours, then strain and apply two or three times a day?will, it is said, remove freckles from hands or face in a short time. Or, one ounce of lemon juice mixed with a quarter of a drachm of pulverized borax and half a drachm of sugar, will also remove them. Keep the lotion in a glass bottle corked tightly a few days before using, and apply to the freckles oecasionly, and they will soon be removed. Suxstkoke and Apoplexy.?First, rilU poweriuuy on ine uaon aiiu iieuit, making horizontal and downward movements. Second, while rubbing call for cold water immediately, which apply to the face and to the hair on the top and side of the head. Third, call for a bucket of water as hot as can be borne, and pour it by dipperfuls on the back of the head and neck for several minutes. The effect will be wonderful for vitalizing the medulla oblongata; it also vital'izes the whole body and the patient will generally start into conscious life in a very short time.

' The Chicago Fire. * The Chicago fire was the greatest con- i fiagration since the burning of Moscow ? in 1812. The fire started in the evening ? of October 8, 1871, in a bam in a remote portion of the city, where a vicious cow t kicked over a lamp. Seventeen thou- 1 sand lour nunarea ana nny Dunuings were destroyed, and a tract of 2,124 acres ] was ravaged; 1,000 stores, twenty-eight j hotels, sixty churches and 1,500 dwell- e ings, covering an area of four miles long, 1 by one mile wide, were burned; 1175,- ' 000,000 was lost. The insurance, < amounting to $98,000,000, was distributed among 200 insurance companies, ' and sixty-four of them failed in consequence of the great business pressure. < Two hundred and fifty lives were lost. \ Contributions for sufferers were received : from every part of the United States, and also from Canada and from England. Scarcely a trace of the great confkgra- , tion of 1871 now remains in Chicago, which has been rebuilt on a much grander seal e.?Detroit Free Press. ( Minstrels and Burnt Cork. i The popular idea is that we put some 1 sort of greasy preparation on our faces to 1 make the burnt cork come off easily, j says a famous negro minstrel to a Phila- . delphia News reporter; but if a man , wants to becomc permanently black, all < he need do is to grease his face before he \ blacks up. It would keep him scrubbing j all night, and he wou'.a have to take j the skin off before he could get it out. The preparation of the cork is simple.
