IN THE NICK OF TIME

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR HITHER TO NOT PUBLISHED.

Story nrf the First Expedition to Fort Fish P|er-The Sailing Master of the Etla Knight Tried to Deliver His Chares to fig the Enemy. Bs

On the first expedition to Fort Fisher a captured blockade rtmner called the Ella Knight was used as a government transport. The cargo of this vessel was Light Battery E, Third United States artillery, and the Sixteenth New York Independent Light battery. Abont 160 horses, 12 fleldpieces, 12 caissons and 12 limber chests made a valuable cargo,

The sailing master's name was Ad ams, but as we sailed under sealed or ders, to be opened off Cape Henry light house, the ranking military officer aboard, who held these orders, becam« ranking or commanding officer of the ship. This officer was First Lieutenan J. R. Myrick of Light Battery E, Third United States artillery.

Adams, a Baltimore man having some inQnence, was appointed sailing master in the United States transport fleet. He was a genuine Confederate at heart and had in his mind a way to help the Con federacy, which was to await his op portnnity and rnn the first good cargo in his charge into the Confederates hands.

As a signal the flagship fired a gnn over the waters of Hampton Roads, and the transport fleet of the first expedition without outside lights, sailed out into the darkness of night—into the broad Atlantic.

The Ella Knight was not the last to reach Cape Henry lighthouse, but when she did the sealed orders were opened and Adams was advised of the ship's destination—Fort Fisher.

Soon after turning southward from Cape Henry the wind began to blow strongly from the south. The sea became extremely rough, the decks wero wet and slippery and the horses' stalls gave way. The horses began to slide back and forth on deck, so heavy were the lunges and rolls of the ship. At the same timo the guns began to roll on the tipper deck. Ropes were procured and the guns lashed through the wheels to prevent rolling on deck and knocking a hole through the transport's sides. Then ropes were stretched lengthwise and through the center of the deck, and sev •eral times crosswise to help support the horses, but many were killed and many disabled.

Some time past midnight Adams quietly turned the ship to the north and scudded with tho wind. Then at the end of a few hours he turned the ship south again. His orders were to keep within sight of the transport fleet, but when daylight came no transport fleet was in sight. He gave as his exouse that the ship's engines were weak and that be could not make the speed required of 'him. Wo know that the Ella Knight was a fast ship, and from that time on we know tbnt Adnms was a man whc would stand watohiug.

By the middlo of the day the storm had passed over and Adams took a reek oning off Capo Hatteras, North Caro lina. Then we continued our journey without much of interest until nearly daylight the next morning.

All jcns quiet aboard the transport. As she rode through the darkness there vrns a report of a cannon, and tho next instant a shell burst over the dock of the Ella Knight. From the short interval between tho report of the gun and the shell's explosion tho battery officers knew that wo must be near the shore. Besides, the sound of the breakers from the heavy ocean swells could be heard lashing the sandy bench.

Eitoh commissioned officer quickly reached for his side arms, and they were aoon on deck. J. R. Myrick (now major Fifth United States artillery) was the flrst to reach the pilothouse. Adams was at the wheel.

Myrick asked him, ."Where are we?" Adams replied, "I reckon we are pretty nigh Fort Fisher—that was the orders, wasn't it?"

Quiok as a flash Myriok's revolver Bwung under Adams' ear, and he ordered him to turn to sea. Adams tamed deathly white as he remarked: "We are iu the inside channel. If we turn to sea, wo will have to ride the reef. If we rido it, we will be caught by tho pirates outside of it," meaning the Union fleet But at the same time be gave several fast turns to the wheel, and the transport swung half way round and headed for the reef. As we gained it there was a roaring and hissing somid and the waves shone with phosphorescent light. Soon we were in the line of sissing, glowing waves. One sudden bump of the vessel, and she bad crossed the reef unhurt and was sailing in the old Atlantic.

Soon we saw the dim outline of a swift steamer approaching ns from the larboard side. A challenge came through a trumpet: "Lay to, or we'll send a shot through yonl"

Adams rang the engine bell. The ship soon lost its headway and swung idly in the sea& A few moments! later a Union ensign appeared on deck. After learning the name and character of our ship he informed Adams that he had been under the guns of Half Moon battery, me and a half miles above Fort Fisher. Then he continued: "1 am Ensign of dispatch boat No. 3 of the blockading fleet The balance of the transport fleet is SO miles due east at em,*

Again our engines were started, and in a short time daylight began to creep over the ooian and v?* «*o«ld see the transport fleet stem »rd land. ...

THE QUICK HORSE.

|JI Outgrowth of Improved American Methods of Fire Fighting. In St. Nicholas there is an article on "The Quick Horse," by F. S. Dellenbaugh, devoted to the horses of the modern fire department. Mr. Dellenbaugh says: It is only within recent years that quick horses have been dev^oped and appreciated and admired, andlEbe poet has not yet attempted to sing the praises of this more prosaic but noble animal. Fet, after all, to one who carcffully examines the matter the quick horse appears to have quite as good, if not a better, claim upon our admiration and sympathy and encouragement. The swift horse wins the race, and in these days ho may cause considerable money to change hands, in which there is certainly nothing that is commendable. But the quick horse I write about saves life, saves property and under modern conditions of life fs essential to our safety and general well being. He is the result indirectly of poor building— an outgrowth of our skillful American fire departments, which could not now exist without him.

Not so very many years ago when a fire broke out everybody far and near began to run and especially began to yell, and the volunteer firemen of that time, being in the service for the excitement of it, joined in the yell and started out the old hand engine from its solemn repose, while the foreman running ahead shouted innumerable orders hoarsely through his trumpet, to the great delight of hundreds of small boys panting to keep up in the glorious race.

The fire—that was altogether a secondary matter, and when they all finally got there they went to work with more or less 'efficiency. There was a great deal of fun in the business, but fires were not extinguished. Our cities in the early days were not built to prevent fires, but seemed, if anything, rather built to encourage them.

In France we may well be amused as we watch the pompier corps trundle its bathtub on wheels to the scene of the conflagration and deliberately fill its apartments with water dipped up from the gutter, whence it is thrown by a little pump upon the flames, because we know much of the architecture there is solid, and if the fire is not extinguished it will soon burn itself out. But in our ooun'ry a mere spark may in a few seconds become a devouring furnace and destroy house after house and block after block. Many buildings are tinder boxes, and rnr dry climate adds to their inflammability, while the ever present careless or lazv workman by improper construction gives the fire its first opportunity.

UNCLE MOSE'S PRAYER.

He Prayed Eloquently, bnt Gestured' a Little Too Forcibly. Uncle Mose came down from the country to visit his son, who worked in the livery stnble. Uncle Mose was a deacon in a little country church and was noted for his long, fervent prayers, but when his son Ike took him to the colored church in the city and when he heard tho, prgan ancLp^zed upon ti well dres&d darkies he felt as if tho Lord was a long ways off. Uncle Mose had met the parson the day before, and what was his surprise when that person said during services, "We'll all join in pra'r wid Brother Mose Smith." Uncle Mose went down on his knees and threw his deep vc'ce and soul in a prayer which shook the rafters. As he came to the close his old white head was shaking aud his voice was bringing each saint and sinner to the shouting point: '0 Lawd. we know dat we is weak in dy sight an hab been follerin after things which sabor nv de debil, but, O Lawd, we know dat dow in dy richness of meroy gwine tuw swipe hit offen de big book an say,' Yo' count is squah.' Huocome we bain'been doin right ez durin do las'^month, ner de las' week, ner de las' day, but, O Lawd, please swipe hit offen de big book—-yeah, swipe hit off. When de pale hoss an de white rider cum ridin down from de valley nv de sbadder uv death, de pale rider gwine swing his lef' laig outen de stirrup, cotch us by de shnrt, jerk ns behin him an b'ar us 'way to de blazin sun, an when we pnt our foot upon de san's nv de sho' fotch de boat up close to de bank, an ez we gits in de seat den waf' us an row ns away to de glory l&u Anion*" "r "How did dat pra'r gftiMke?" said he as ho went home. "Pajj, dar wern't but one 'jection, specially your gestures. When yon talked'boot de pale rider swingin his lef laig outen de stirrup, you kicked Sister Brown right in ds side, "—Louis* ville Dispatch.

The Matter of Whiskers*

Jules Ferry's whiskers were often an index to bis state of feeling. I saw him on the day be escaped from the commune of Paris to Versailles. He related bis adventures at the Hotel des Reservoirs to friends who gathered round him. The whiskers, which habitually stood well oat, like those (his enemies said) of a garcon de cafe, were limp and lay flat to tho cheeks.

The most leonine whiskers I ever saw were Skobeleff's. They were of immense length when he drew them out, as was his wont, bat when let alone seemed only half as long. I dare say they had their lank days, bat not so far Ml knew. The term "whiskerando" (sow well nigh obsolete) bad more meaning than theme wbo used it thought. —London Truth.

What to Say.

A member of the boose went to Speaker Reed one day and said that he bad been selected by his delegation to deliver a eulogy on a deceased member. °I did not know the member very well," remarked the congressman, "and I thought I would ask yon What I sbouM say." "Well," said Mr. Bead, with his Inimitable drawl, "say anything except the truth."—Washington Post

"Fonetic."

We shonld never accustom ouyselvea to saying that an article was "mad in Jermani" or "mad in Frans." Nor is it necessary that we should. I have always thought the spelling reformers mistook the conditions of the problem. Our spelling may be'erratic, but the printed word is a kind cf visual counter. We learn to recognize it and to spell it by the eye. How often do we feel that a word" looks wrongly spelled? Words have to be taken en bloc, and it would be exactly the same with' the "fonetic" monstrosities proposed as their substitutes. In reading we never get at the sense of a word by spelling it, and "cough" and "plough," although theoretically anomalous and incongruous, present no practical difficulty. Still, spelling might in ccrtain cases be simplified with advantage. "Program" and "jewelry" are better than the accepted forms "programme," "jewellery."

At present English is like a luxuriant garden running wild. It needs trimming and Weeding.'—Academy.

'London Bridge.

The Britons themselves were quite unable to construct a bridge of any kind unless in the primitive methods observed at Post bridge and Two bridges, on Dartmoor, by a slab of stone laid across two bowlders. The work, therefore, was certainly undertaken by Roman engineers. We have, in the next place, to inquire what kind of bridge was built at that time by the Romans. They built bridges of wood and of stone. Many of these stone bridges still remain in other cases the pieces of hewn stone still remain. The bridge over the Thames, however, was of wood. This is proved by the fact that had it been of the solid Roman consiruction in stone the piers would be still remaining also by the fact that London had to be contented with a wooden bridge til! the year 1176, when the first bridge of stone was commenced.

Considerations as to the comparative insignificance of London in the first century, as to the absence of stone in the neighborhood and as to the plentiful supply of the best wood in the world from the forests north of the city confirm the theory that the bridge was built of wood. We have only, therefore, to learn how Roman engineers built bridges of wood elsewhere in order to know how they built a bridge of wood over the Thames.—Pall Mall Gazette.

His First Duty.

"What is the first duty of a war correspondent?" asked the managing editor of one of the "new" journals. "To have bis picture taken showing how he looks when equipped for his work in the field."—Chicago Post.

Scrofula Disappeared.

"One of my sons had scrofula. My husband asked the druggist for a good blood purifier and he recommended Hood's Sarsaparilla. We began giving him this medicine and when he had taken it awhile all signs of scrofula had disappeared and he has not had it since." MRS. MATTIK TOWNLEV, Chalmers, Indiaua.

HOOD'S PILLS are the only pills to take with Hood's Sarsaparilla. Easy and yet efficient.

From Her Point of View.

A lady who saw that her servant girl seemed to take a certain interest in the objects of art in her parlor said to her, "Which one of those figures do you like best, Mary?" "This one, mum," said Mary, pointing to the armless Venus of Milo. "And why do you like the Venus best?" "Sure, it'stheaisiesttodoost, mum," answered the girl.—Harlem Life.

Ajntil recent years our bakers had not improved npon the method used in the bakeries of Pompeii—viz, by burning wood in the floor of the oven itself until ^he proper temperature bad been reaoned, then cleaning out and introducing the loaves. Nowadays our large bakeries are fitted with ovens heated with flues, gas or steam.

Give the Children a Drink called Grain-O. It is a delicous. appetizing, nourishing food drink to take the place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked by all who have used it because when properly prepared it tastes like the finest coffee but is free from all its injurious properties. Grain-0 aids digestion and strengthens the nerves. It is not a stimmulant but a health builder, and children, as well as adults, can drink it with great benefit. Costs about as much as coffee. 15 and 23c.

He won the case, but as he pocketed the check for his money some one overheard him say: "Dat wuz a narrow escape I had, tell you, but I tole him de truth. It wuzn't me what driv' de cow in front er de engine, but my brother-in-law— he de one done it. I mighty glad dat lawyer stop when he did, 'kase he wuz right in de fainbly."—Atlanta Constitution.

The Coast Defences.

One-half the number of improved cannon, mortars and emplacements will be located and placed in suitable position ere the expiration of 1898. The Artillery Board is constantly making practical surveys, so far as these relate to the army, and the establishment of adequate military protection of oar sea board is receiving strong endorsement. Meanwhile there is a means of defence from greater physical calamity, and that is the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which by restoring the tone of the nerves and stomach, invigorates the entire system. It also prevents malarial, kidney and rheumatic ailments, and cures bilousness and constipation. Those who have been cured by it speak in no uncertain terms as to its eflectiveness.

Rebecca Wilkinson, of Browttsvalley, Ind., says: "I have been in a distressed condition for three years from nervousness, weakness of the stomach, dyspepsia and indigestion until my health was gone. I had been doctoring constantly with no relief. I bought one bottle of South American Nervine, which did me more good than any $50 worth of doctoring I ever did in my life. I would advise every weakly person to use this valuable and lovely medicine a few bottles of it has cured me completely. I consider it the grandest medicine in the world," Warranted the most wonderful stomach and nerve cure ever known. Sold by all druggists in Terre Haute, Ind. 1'

Its effects are marvellous and surprising. It gladdens the hearts of the suffering and brings immediate relief. It is a luxury to take and always safe. Trial bottles 15 cts.

All old style corsets possess this most annoying weakness. Not a woman In your community but will acknowledge the truth of this statement.

By a disconnection at the waist line, and elastic gures at sides, the cause of breakage Is removed, and at the same time the Corset retains Its symmetrical proportions.
