STAPLES. :cuarrnn v. [To be continued] . Our family in the ward room was now broken up. The new officers were very nice young men, but the new mess was not like the old one. All the old watch officers had been masters of merchant vessels. and had had much sea experi— ence. These young men were ensigns, and I think had only been second officers, or, perhaps, first officers of merchant vcs. selsa verysshort time. They were not old at the business like those officers just detached, But they passed avei'y credit.— able examination, and had the theory very good. Captain Parker, our new com- mander, proved to be a most excellent gentleman, and was universally liked and respected by both officers and men. He did everything for the benefit of the ser- vicc and for the efficiency of the ship that could have been done by any one, and he was 11ny seconded by the executive officer, Lima-Commander F. H. Baker. The ship was now being thoroughly over- hauled and the battery changed. The thirty-two poundci's in broadside were taken out, and eight-inch guns put in their place. One of the eleven-inch pivots gave place to a lOO-pound Parrott rific. New running rigging and soils took the place of the old where needed. Radiators were put in that part of the ship where the officers and crew lived, so that we could use steam for heat, instead of stoves. In fact, everything that could be suggest- ed to make the ship more effective was acted upon. Ships were now being fitted out with astonishing rapidity by officers of the navy yaid. Monitors were being built, fitted out and sent south as fast as possible. but at that time the department was hardly convinced which was the best —thc armored broadside ships like the “new iron sides” or the “monitors.” They both stood a terrible amount of pounding from ordinary artillery. The greatest dread of a navy officer was to be ordered to one of the. ships of the monitor pattern. At that time they were very imperfectly ventilated. and it was like putting a man in a large iron kettle, and putting an air-tight lid on it, to be on board one of them during action. One of the officers of the “Keokuk,” a monitor sunk off Charleston, told me that the tem- perature in the engine room, when in action, was 135° , and that the engineers had to keep wet cloths in their hands, whenever they handled any metal like the throttle or reversing gear, to keep their hands from being burned. This state of things was afterwards partially remedied by using powerful ventilating engines, and forcing a current of air through the ship. Yet the drops of water always stood on the under side of the deck, where men slept, even then. Almost every days. train loaded with confederate prisoners, bound to Fort Delaware, came into Philadelphia. They came down to the foot of Washington street to take the boat, and to us they seemed as ifthey had had a pretty hard time. But I suppose they looked no worse thon our boys did when they ar- rived nt Andersonville or any other of thc southcm prisons. They certainly had enough to eat which our boys did not. They came so close to the navy yard that we saw them and conversed with them almost every day. But, as a general thing, they did not want to talk much, and most of them we saw were not very well educated. Every day some navy yard ofiicers, who were often accompanied by some officer from Washington, came on board to see how 'soon the ship could be got ready for sea. Our engines required more work than was at first recommended by the survey, and as only just so many could work at a time. it required more than the first estimate. Our chief engineer was a thorough practical engineer, and would accept no work unless well done and satisfactory. We finished our repairs and were ready for sea early in June, 1863, and were or- dered to New York to become the flag ship of Admiral Foote, who had been ordered to take command of the South Atlantic squadron. We arrived in New York on a Saturday afternoon, and anchored off the Battery, and Captain Parker reported to the navy yard, and was told that Admiral Foote was sick in New Haven and could not come on board a day or two. When Captain Parker re turned to the ship he told the executive 0 car to allow all those officers who lived in New York and vicinity to have thirty- six hours leave, keeping enough officers on board to take care of the ship. I found a number of the watch officers were going on shore to stay until Monday morning, and Ivolunteered to come on board the next morning and take the day’s duty as my family was in Brooklyn, and I knew they would be short of watch officers on board . I went over to Brooklyn, and, on Sunday morning about 9 a m., I went down to Pier 1, near the Battery, off which the ship was lying, and as I got in sight of the ship I was surprised to see she was blowing off steam, and had the cor-oriet set at the fore-top-gallaut-mast- head as a signal for all officers to repair at once on board. The moment I went down towards the pier I heard the boat- swain’s whistle, and heard him call away the second cutter, and in a few moments she was on her way to the shore in charge of an officer, whoinformed me that a tug from the navy yard came alongside just after daylight with orders for the ship to get underway at once, and go out in pur- suit of the rebel privatccr “Tacony,” Captain Reed, who was burning all the fishing vessels on George’s Bank, and all the nicrchuutmcii she could fall in with. When Captain Parker got his orders that morning thr- surgeon, payniastci'. chief engineer and two watch officers, besides myself, were on shore. All cx- ccpt the chief engineer and n-yself were to stay until Monday morning. Captain Parker sent. the tug back to the navy yard, where we gota surgeon, and we all got on board about 9 a. m., and before 10 a. in. bad the ship underway anti was steaming down the harbor on our cruise. Our: orders were to cruise to George‘s Bank and vicinity, and from there to tire eastward, and to stay out as long as our cool lasted. We were so short of watch OIIICCI‘S thatI took a watch, and besides I had to do all the boarding of vessels we Spoke which was sometimes twenty ves- sels a day, and sometimes half a dozen in a night, in all sorts of weather. It was anything but a pleasant cruise for me. I geneiully managed to get wet through three or four times a day in boarding these vessels in rough vveathci', more especially in the night when we went alongside iii the dark. It is as. touishinghow little weather we have at son when a good boat cannot be success- fully lowered, and a vessel boarded by a good boat's crew. There was very seldom a time while I was in that ship, two and a half years, that we could not. and did not lower a boat if occasion required, and we never lost: or had a boat seriously in- jured while I belonged to her. We cruised as far east as Cape Race, and then to the south as far as the lati- tudc of the capes of Virginia, and about the twentieth day from the time we left New York we put in Hampton Roads for coal. While here two of the seamen got in a quarrel with the sentry on the top- gallant forecastle, and tried to kill him with battle axes they took from one. of the great guns. He disarmcd them, and re- ported the occurrence to Captain Parker, who reported the same to the department, and the seamen were ordered to be tried by general court martial. We filled up with coal, and started on another cruise as soon as we could. It was a repetition of the last one as far as speaking and boarding vessels was concerned. One day we spoke a large barquc with the name “J. H. Giddiugs, Liverpool," paint- ed ou the stern, and fiying'English colors. Iboardcd her and asked the captain to let me see his papers. As we were going into the cabin he asked to what ship I belonged. Itold him the “Tuscarora,” and he said Iic thought certain it was the “Alabama.” He got out his papers. and said his vessel was American and hailed from Boston, that he and his crew had painted out Boston and painted Liverpool on the stern since he had been at son. He was very much frightened as he owu- ed a part. of the barquc, and could hardly believe we were not the famous confed- erate cruiser. We could not hear any- thing more from Reed and the “Tawny," and concluded he had changed his cruis- ing ground. We continued our cruise, however, until our mail was getting low, and then went into Boston, where we found all our officers who had gone ashore in New York for thirty-six houi-s’ leave over a month before. It was one of those cases where no one was to blame, but Captain Parker took good care it did hot happen again, as after that no one was granted more than two lioui's’ leave at a time, while we were lying in Boston. A few days after our arrival Commodore Montgomery sent for me to come to his office in the navy yard, where he gave the orders to take the two men accused of mutiny. with the witnesses, (two officers and eleven seamen and marines), to Philadelphia, where the prisoners were to to be tried by court martial. I took pass- age for the whole party on the steamship “Saxon,” then running direct from Boston to Philadelphia. We left Boston on Sat- urday, July 25th, in a stormy south- wester. There were sixty-five saloon passengers, and the only ones at the table Saturday evening and Sunday were the two ofliccrs with me and Captain Baker of the “Saxtcn.” It was very rough and stormy. The most of the passengers were from the White Mountains and other summer resorts, and they wanted an out- side trip and to be seasick on their way home. and they got both, for I think they were the worst seasick lot of people I ever saw. But early on Monday morning we ran into the Delaware Bay, and it was soon as smooth as a mill pond, and they all came out as jolly as if they had never been sick an hour in their lives, and at dinner the saloon table was filled for the first time since we left Boston. Our case was not. reached by the judge advocate until the middle of August. I got temporary leave of absence from the judge, and visited Brooklyn and Connecticut. for the first time in two years. I had left an address in Philadel- phia where atelegram would reach me, and about the middle of. August I was ordered to report at once to the judge advocate in Philadelphia. After report- ing and giving my testimony I was only kepttwo or three days when I was dis- charged as a witness and ordered back to Boston, to report again for duty on board the “Tuscarora.” On my arrival in BostonI found the “Tuscarora” had just gone out on a cruise and would be gone about twenty days, and I at once made arrangements with the. admiral’s secretary to telegraph me on her arrival, and then went back to Connecticut where my family then were. I had a pleasant visit of twenty days “and got back to Boston and reported on board the ship within twentyiour hours after her arrival at the navy yard. In the meantime Captain Reed in the “Tacony” had captured an American fishing schooner on the banks, and abandoned the “Tawny," after taking out her battery and stores. With the schooner he went into Portland harbor and captured a revenue cutter. But they got the news in Portland, and put a regiment of soldiers on ohc of the large steamers there, and ran the steamer along- side of the cutter, and put her in position where the soldiers could pick every man off deck, and Reed had to surrender. We now lay at anchor off the navy yard, Ciiarlestown, with steam up, and ready to go to sea at two hours’ notice. No officer was allowed more than two hours’ leave, and this was kept up until the first of October. Captain Parker lived in Cambridge, a suburb of Boston, but he did not sleep out of the ship a single night. There was no security from the visits of a confederate cruiser on our coast, and some ship had to be kept ready for sea in each navy yard. It was almost as bad as being at sea, and the duty was nicknamed blockading the Boston navy yard. Lydia E.

From the New Engmnd House lv'm'nishcr. Household Sanitation. A prominent architect of the city of Brooklyn who has long made the problem of household sanitation a sturdy, talked upon the surface of the subject to a re- portcr the other day and offered some suggestions which it might be well to make known. He said: “In the present wonderful concentra- tioii of the doings of the entire world, published broadcast by the million both morning and eventing, WCIII'C apt to get filled up with what concerns others and forget that which affects our homes and one of the greatest ofail blessingswsturdy health. I propose in the prcscntdiscus- sion of this subject to touch only upon such common facts as may be understood by all——thc question of sewage in Our homes. First I wish to disprove the com- monly accepted theory that the great gen- erator. of what is termed sewer gas and which in nearly every instance is not gas at all, but only sewer miasma, is in the street sewer mains. The conditions necessary to produce gas from decomposed matter—diam and stagnation—are wholly wanting in the street sewer, for in the ordinary mains of a city the temperature is not over ten degrees higher on an over- age than the atmosphere at the street level and the average will fall below that where perforated covers are placed over the manholes of the sewers. The contents of the sewer is in rapid motion, even in the almost 10ch lines piping. It may be easilv seen there is not opportunity for the generation of a sewer miasma, much less gas in the city mains. I have been in some of the city mains, both near the point of outflow and in the higher levels of the city, and did not experience any very perceptible odor, or note any amount of accumulated filth on the sides of the pipe, but was agreeably surprised at the clean condition of the sewer. The ques- tion may be asked, where, then, is the trouble, for a gas or vile miasma is gener- ated in the sewer. I answer it is in the sewage system of the house, and nearest to the inlet points, that is precisely where the greatest trouble is. The water seal trap isa prolific source of the trouble, under the following conditions: Loca- tion between the beams of the floor of a well-warmed house, the lower part or body of the trap nearly touching the cell- ingot the room, under which is the hottest part of the house, as may be easily proven by placing the hand on the ceiling; a spar- ing use of the fixture to which the trap is affixed, also a too unfrequent use of water sent in an ordinary water supply flow, but not sufiicicnt toejcct the contents, leaving only clean water in the trap. Under these conditions is the great generator of sewer miasma in the house. Any householder may prove this by permitting the usual contents expelled by the sewer to be set in as warm :1 place as the location of a closet trap, which is usually set between the floors of a house. Let it remain for a single night, and they will see what is the condition of an ordinary house closet trap, but add to this the stand or vertical pipe from the trap to the horizontal sewer, which is usually placed between wood partitions or recessed in party wall of houses where there is warmth on each side. and sometimes a heat duct close by, and there is an increased tendency to generate sewer miasma. This is readily absorbed by the water in the trap and accelerates the decomposition of the trap contents, helps to raise the temperature thus rapidly increasing its virulent and deadly fore. But it may be asked does not the soil pass out of the trap in the ordinary use of the closet? No, it does not. especially when the trap is deep (that is, holds a large quantity of water,) and when children use it or careless people or when only a run- ning stream of water runs into the trap from the ordimiry water supply pipe. Under these crinditions the contents simply float on the surface, the water flowing in and simply passing over the wall of the trap but not carrying the contents with ' W t.“What then is needed and what can the householder do to prevent trouble from thisvery convenient modern convenience?” asked the reporter. “Use no water closet or other vessel where a less than sufficient quantity of water is provided to suddenly expel the trap contents. This should be done twice, at least, each day. ’ The best closet in this line we are acquainted with is the new syphon closet, which holds a large quantity of water with a straight outflow from the bowl, and is without pans, cranks, levers, or float sections of any kind. A simple hopper with a sudden flush of water is one of the best closets in use. A large majority of the expensive c oscts, fair and beautiful to look upon, but with large hidden cavities, or cham- bers, are the very worst, as a simple wet- ting or rinsing of the parts of a closet is ——not enough. It. needs scouring, and this cannot be done in the hidden cham‘ bers of such closets. Vigorous cleansing of all parts ‘of a closet above the trap should be done regularly once a week at least, and a vigorous dash of water should be used to cleanse the trap if not thus provided for in its mechanism. This can be. done from a pail. The simpleruuning of water from a tank is not sufficient, and the vigorous flushing of the bowl, wasting the energy on that which is seen at the expense of the unseen trap is not enough. A pailful of water sent suddenly into a closet is worth more than all the flushing rims or spray and splash of water in the bowl, as the trouble does not lie in the seen parts of a closet but in the unseen. “The next very important matter is a thorough ventilation of the entire house piping. This can only be attained by per- mitting a good-sized current of fresh air passing into the house main and providing as large an outlet above the roof ; also, air pipes to connect from the crown or upper parts of traps out above the roof. I think the day is not far distant when water seal traps will ordy be in the memory of the past for they are often, for the reason I have noted, sources of evil rather than a preventative. I tliiuk the present system radically wrong, which isdemanded bv the Board of Health, to place traps on the house mains at or near the foundationlinc of the house and especially so when per- forated manhole covers are placed over the street sewers; for then there would be acurrcnt of on passing through the entire length of the house piping. Pure air circulating in the sewers is the only preventative of sewer miasma, because it keeps the temperature down and carries off all odorsaud vapors. I suppose, how- ever, that the water and seal trap under the fixture must remain for the present to prevent a free exit of sewer air from the pipes into the houses. In conclusion I would suggest the use of as few traps as possible and see that they are thoroughly flushed out at least twice a day.” + Pimples, blotchcs, eruptions of the skin, indicate that you need a few doses of Fontuinc’s Great Discovery.

A Hihbnntl’s Testimony, My wife was troubled for years with blutches, moth patches and pimples on her face, which nearly annoyed the life out of her. She spent many dollars on the thousand infallible (‘2) cures, with nothing! but injurious effects. A lady friend of Syracuse, N. Y., who had‘ had similar experience and had been cured with Hop Bitters, induced her to try it. One bottle has made her face as suiuotli. tair and soft as a ' child’s and given her such health that it seems almost a miracle. . .-\ lVIEMBl-Ilt or CANADIAN PAVLIAMEN‘I‘.

The sunshine brought out the children. Thousands—some with nurses, some alone, some walking, and some wheeled in baby carriages, and all carrying little baskets- poured into the White House grounds. A stranger might have thought that the President was in for a grand Easter ofier ing from the grateful public. But the children’s minds were not on the Presi- dent, and they had no thought of a spontaneous offering of eggs to the beauti- ful bride of the White House. But they were truly thankful for the sun that shone on Easter Monday, green grass and liberty, and what they carried in their baskets. They were let loose in the White House grounds to roll eggs, and as early as half- past nine this morning the sound of their shouting and sport could be heard as they chased their gaily—colored eggs down the sloping lawn. In the early afternoon the place was fairly alive with children, and a large number of grown people were on hand to watch them at their sport. Even old men with long white beards stopped and en- joyed it. An artist could have found many picturesque little groups to study. An amateur photographic artist-a young lady,. herself quite an ideal study for an artist—attempted to avail herself of the opportunities ofl'ered, and placed her camera at the proper distance from a very nice group. Her instrument was “instantaneous," but the group was more ‘ so. Before she could press the little rubber ball they had left ofl picking eggs and were crowding close around her or posing in front of the camera with all their unconscious grace gone. Children of all ages and various con‘ ditions of life played together all day long, sharing their eggs and eating lunch under the trees. They had a glorious time. “Pick ?” “Butts and points." “Butts even.” “Points even." “Got a butt?" “Show me apoint," were ',the exclama- tions heard on every side. Picking eggs was the principal sport of the larger boys, while the little girls anti boys rolled their eggs down the slopes. Those whose eggs were all gone rolled themselves down the little hills and had great sport. The little girls in gay dresses and the streaks of many colors made on the green grass by the dyed eggs in motion, made- a bright picture in color. Soon, when the eggs began to break, the lawn was strewn with many colored shells—red, green, blue, purple, gold, and mottled. Some of the boys who were the fortunate possessors of hard eggs struck up quite a thriving business in “pickin,” and had to carry their spoils home in baskets. The cast room of the White House was overrun with children, and most of the callers at the regular afternoon reception carried baskets.-— Washington Star. —-—————-<+>——————~ The Boston Transcript regards the efiort of Senator Dawes before the Middle sex club at Boston Saturday as “the speech of a statesman.” The Boston paper commends without reservation, though with a suggestion of comparisons, as follows :— It placed republican advocacy on higher grounds than any congressman who has discussed national topics for a long time. Its well-chosen periods glowed with a hearty impatience of cheap and petty partisanship. Amid the vapid utterances of ordinary politicians, this suggestive speech comes to raise parties to the dignity and importance which justify their exist- ence. It must have surprised the Middle- sex club to hear the veteran Berkshire republican state in substance that, unless the republican party can adapt itself to the new conditions of our national life, it ought to die. In nota few re- spects Mr. Dawes’s address is a master- piece of political exposition, not only for its keen and accurate analysis of the causes which produced past republican success. but because its outlook and reach include grand issues; such as ennoblc politics and dissipate the disgust which reflecting citi‘ zenshave-f'elt for merely partisan squabbles to obtain ascendency and office. The reader will search this effort in vain for that criticism which exhausts itself in re— crimination, and from its intrinsic little- ness cannot rise to the contemplation of those great matters which vitally affect a nation’s welfare. This is sum- moning the party to such high service as will evoke some of the old-time enthusiasm in its behalf. Let republican managers ponder well the philosophy underlying Mr. Dawcs’s speech, which has its roots deep down in the common sense and in- telligence of the people. —<o>-———-——-—a Felix Adler has grown in the course of years from doubt to faith as to Mr. Beecher’s innocence in the great charge against trim, and expressed his reasons for changed belief in an address to his usual audience in Chickering hall Sunday. Applause and hisses greeted his argument, one of whose strongest points was this :— Human nature cannot possibly be sunk to such depths of infamy and hypocrisy as we should have to ascribe to him if he had uttered the pure thoughts, theimpassioned pleas for the sublimest spiritual truths which occur in his recent sermons, whale all the time thcunspeakablc crime with which he. was charged, and another, a worse crime than that, the crime of public perjury, were secreted in his heart. We cannot believe that. We are justified, amply justified, I think, in believing him innocent. We cannot help marveling at the gentleness, the patience, the dignity with which he received the storm of missiles which was buried against him by his enemies, and we feel that in a certain sense we owe him reparation for the ' wrong we have done him. Mr. Adler said concerning Mr. Beechcr’s career: His success was not because of his dramatic power, his telling ancedotes, his affecting pathos, his irresistible humor. The secret of his power is to be found in the fact. that the American democracy beheld their qualities reflected in him as a mirror so enlarged and enhanced that he was precmineutiy the American demo. cratic man, the representative of Ameri- can dcmocratic ideas in the pulpit.
