HOW THE ALABAMA SUNK ,
The Victory of Konr i .rgt Bloody
Soono on the Confederate
Crnl er' Dock ,
V. K. Howanl , in Philadelphia Weekly
Times.
Tlio Kotirsargo steamed nwny to
cnwnul until about nine vr ten miles
rom llio bwftk-wntor , when slio vccrod
nnd liundcd direct for tlio Alabama.
? hat stopjied tlio cliafT tlio boys had
ccn tOflsing around nbout her having
wonkcned and turned tail , and each
ono Bcumcd to realize nt last that this
was no child's play. Ky this time
about throu miles intervened between
ho bulligeronta , which was rapidly
> cing decreased , Wlien within nbout
a mile nnd n quarter from the Hear-
large the Alabama veered , presenting
nor starboard broadside , nnd opened
ho ball by firing her HO-pminder
rilled pivot at an elevation for two
housand yards range , followed almost
nstnntaneously by a whole broadside.
The guns wore worked nnd served with
.ho utmost rnpiditv , nnd in n few min-
ites another broadside was poured in ,
, vhcn the Konrsargo , being by this
imo about eight hundred yards dis-
ant , presented her starboard battery
nnd the tiring bccamo general. The
spirit of carnage had begun to ani
mate the crow , nnd the dcsiro to bo
the upper dog in the light stirred each
man to emulation. A few broadsides
passed when the Kcamrgc , under full
liead of steam , forged ahead , steering
so near as to pass the Alabama's stern
nnd rnko her fore nnd aft , and also
get between her and the shore. This
inanoeuvcr was checkmated by a port
liclm , causing both vessels to move in
n circle revolving nround a common
center distant from each other
nbout live or six hundred
yards. The firing , meantime
continued with unabated vigor. The
steady directness of the fire from the
Koarsargo now began to bo felt. The
11-inch shells poured into the ill-fated
Alabama with sickening regularity and
precision , dealing death and destruc
tion on every hand. Guns wore dis
mounted and their crows decimated
by a simjlo shot. Early in the action
a shell struck the blade of the fan ,
breaking it short off nnd injuring the
rudder. Another landed in the out
gino room , and toro tilings all to
pieces , damaging the machinery ,
making a hole in the boiler , and flood
ing the stoke hole with boiling water.
On dock the prospect was no more
cheering. Mon dropped dead , cut in
twain by n shot or shell , while the
groans of the wounded , struck by the
crashing nnd flying splinters mingled
with the muttered curses of the sea
men and the hoarse orders of gunners
and officers. At half-past 12 , Mr.
Koll had jib nnd foretopsails hoisted
and attempted to stand in towarc
shore , distant by this timu about five
miles. This was prevented by her op
ponent ranging up nnd pouring in a
raking-firo of a'lot and snoll. Wore
was passed aft almost immediately
that the vessel was sinking , whereupon
upon a flog of truce was auspendnc
trom the quarter and the now oflicor
Sinclair , sent in a boat to surrender the
vessel. Dating his absence the whale
boat , dingy and three cutters were
launched , and preparations made tc
desert the doomed vessel. Before
they could bo perfected however ) ! she
settled by the etcrn , her mast rising
high out of the water. The main
most , which had been already badly
shattered by the firing went by the
board , and a few accords sufficed tc
engulf the shattered hulk of the late
scourge of the seas. Struggling ii
the vortex wore many . of her crow
and the efforts of Sinclair , who hat
received permission from Cnptaii
Winslow to return and rescue the
survivors , wore soon ably seconded b ;
the boats of the Deerhound , two cut
tera from the Xearsargo and twe
French pilot boats that were near the
spot. The whulo boat and dingy o
thn Alabama , with the bouts o
the Deerhound , well freighted , made
quickly for the yacht , which immediately
atoly steamed away to the northward
bearing safely away from captivity
Captain Sommcs and n majority o
his "best bowers , " while the cuttora
transferred their cargoes to the
Kearsargo. Ono pilot boat turnec
over thosd she had rescucd _ to the
same sheltering care , while the othoi
one stood in for shore and aided ii
the escape of those who weio luck ;
enough to get on board of her. Thi
Ivcarsarge backed up and had trims
forred to her decks a total of five
oflicors , sixty-throe men and ono deai
body. Somnics. on board of the Deer
hound , reached Southampton witl
thirteen of his officers , and ncarl ;
'thirty of his crow and potty oflicore
The pilot boat landed quite a number
and the killed and drowned war
never accounted for.
Tlio Woman Who MadoS. X.Tlldor
a Bachelor.
Clot Uincl Leader ,
"Your great great grandfather mus
have been a beastly ugly man , " ai (
the bartender to Old lluminiscuncu , a
ho shoved n spittoon to a man tha
spouts tobacco juico.
"Why , now , beauty ? "
"Because , according to Scripture
the sin of the rwrcnta was handei
to the third ami fourth generations
Sich ugliness as yours is sinful. ]
there was enough of it left to mak
such a face as yours after furnishing
three generations before you , you
ancestors must have had a big invoice
of awful ugliness on hand when the
opened shop "
"People who inhabit tronsparon
edifices should not hurl projectiles , '
intervened Mr. Syllables profoundly
"Besides , " added the red noses man
"Old Itominisoncea grows handsome
every day , and the bar-tender grow
uglier. "
"Of course , " returned the bartender
er , "there ain't any room for him tc
grow ugliorj ho reached the limit o
ugliness when ho was born , "
"Tho ugliest human I ever saw , '
began the whittler , picking his teetl
with the point of his knife , "was the
woman who went back on S , J. Til
den and made a bachelor of him. "
Everybody waited , but ho calmlj
kept on destroying his dentifrice.
"Well , how ugly was she1' ? returned
old Reminiscence , anxious to heat
that somebody held over him.
"Well , she looked like she had been
born at midnight , nnd looking toware
yesterday and to-morrow both a
once for sunaliino had made her cross
eyed. The color of her hair was a
kind of cranberry , kind of sorgharn
taffy just like the color of elippei
punk red. The rest ol her featurei
ww so ugly she had to git up in the
night to rest her face. "
After a paiuful pause the bar
keeper essayed nervously. "Will the
rowd take something , at tlio expense
f yours truly ? "
The deadlock broke.
Why Ho Wasn't Inmrod.

Ho was an old man nnd said ho'd
ecu better times. 1 hoped ho had ,
ut as I wns unusually busy and didn't
vant any life insurance , if ho would

"Oh yes , " said he ; "all right ,

The next day ho elid "drop in , " and

An Indian Doctor-
Llttlo Iloik Gazette.
The governor recently received
call from a curious visitor. Th
governor , of course , is n kind of stnt
executive futhor confessor , to wlion
all kinds of grievances are brought
and "hobby calls are not strange
and do not demand very much of th
attention constitutionally duo to th
appointment of notaries public. Bu
the caller in question does not belon
to the common herd of unnoycrs. Af
ter leaving the executive chamber h
came down the street , gcsticulatin
with ono hand , and with the otho
carrying two sticks. Stopping near
crowd , ho began to make an exhibition
tion of grief-stnckon loquacity.
"Dr. Peter Il6bbina is my name
sah , " ho said , in answer to a question
"I was born in Ponsacoln , and nt
an own dear cousin of Billy Bowlegs
My mother was a Injin 'omnn. an
my father was n Spaniard. Some
where in the family there's n strca
of Guinea nigger. My mother wa
rich , and jin mo a high laming. "
Ho turned and grinned at th
crowd , including the governor , wh
occupied an honored position. Sue
a grin ! His lips , covered with n thic
growth of atubblo , parted from
mouth picketed with a set of cross-cu
tooth. The intense brilliancy of hi
eyes , nnd their restless glitter in em
nlmsia to the harrowed expression o
Ids face , gave him nn appearance ceri
and repulsive.
"All I want is my rights , " ho said
leaning on the two sticks. "lam
doctor , and just because I wouldn1
lot a man die the doctors say I ahan'
practice. When the other doctor
gives n man up , I cures him. That'
what makes them mad , Guntlomo
I am a man of learning. "
"How long have you been practic
ing ? " asked a bystander.
'Nearly all my life. "
d"Did you attend a medical college ?
"I got my 'plainer in thu woods
among the roots and hurhs. "
"Well , don't you know that the liu
says that when n doctor gels a diplp
ma in the woods ho must practice i
the woods , and that wliun he gets
diploma in the city he must practic
in the city ? "
"But Bah , " said the doctor , hi
eyes glittering another almost unearth
ly emphasis to his loathury face. "
practiced down in the awatiips. "
"Then you make a mistake , fo
swamp licenses are different fron
wood licenses. "
"I don't want that sort of talk. I' ;
in earnest. I practiced in Helena
where my wife lived. "
"Whore is your wife now ? "
"She liked another man better thai
she did mo , and went off with him.
"Have you married again ? "
"Yes , sah.sorter. "
"Did you got a divorce ? "
"She divorced herself from mo wit
three children by that other man
he was a oneasy black woman as you
vor see. "
Just then a black fellow , dressed in
linstrel pants nnd the burnt cork
egulation tlip collar , came up with
lit banjo nnd asked :
"Fur how long is yer wound up ? "
"Go way , you descendant of the
aboon , I am a descendant of Sham ! "
The miiiRtrol ( musical attache of a
latent churn man ) did not go away ,
ut stood , with serio-comic oxprcs-
ion , picking an accompaniment to
lie old man's rhapsody of complaint.
Vhon the crowd ceased to encourage
do speaker , nnd when for a memento
o stopped , the minstrel remarked ,
'llun down , " nnd withdrew , The
Id doctor , nfter declaring his intcn
ion of appearing before a board o
icdicnl examiners , shambled away ,
.inter ho visited the drug stores , at
nch ono demanding his papers , but
ailing to appear be fore the college of
hysicians , license was not granted.

" 1 do so pity those men on the
lodgers , " remarked Mrs. Max , pass-
ng the Major the honey , which ho
Iways insisted upon having with his
ich cakes.
"Yes , indeed , " replied the Major ,
vho was n trifio cynical thatjuorning ,
laving bnmcd his mouth with cotToo.
'Yes , indeed , my dear , the life of an
\rctic explorer must bo hard. They
ire so isolated from the world. Just
magino , if you can , the horror of
iving for three years out of the dust
mil wind and fog nnd rain of our Rio-
ions climate ; of not meeting all that
imo the man at your club who thinks
ho oftener n alory is told the bettor it
s ; of being \\itliout the consolation
worded you by the busted stock
> porator who knows you are glad of
tin opportunity to lend him a twenty ;
of being where millinery and .Japa-
lese decoration stores do not daily en
tmp one's wife ; of being "
"Why , major , how you do talk !
[ was only thinning of the horrid
.hings the llodgors crow will have to
do to tjot their bear steaks. "
"How's that ? " asked the major , in
stantly interested over the subject of
steaks , which ho holds of much creat
or importance than the Irish land
troubles.
"What I know about it1 resumed
Mrs. Max , "I road in a fashion paper ,
and it ought to bo true. "
"It certainly ought to bo , Mrs.
Max , if only onnccounl of itaoldage. "
"Well , the articlp said , " continued
Mrs. Max , pretending to _ ignore the
major's slur on her favorite reading ,
"that Arctic explorers , when the want
to kill n polar boar , plant n big knife
in the ice with the blade sticking up.
They daub the blade with blood , and
the bear comes along and licks it and
cuts his tonguo. It is ao cold that ho
don't f eel the cut , but. tasting his own
blood , continues to lick the knife until
his tongue is all frayed , and ho bloods
to death. Isn't it dreadful ? "
"Quiet your fears , my dear , " said
the Major when his wife had finished.
"That is the way they killed the boar
when that story was first published ,
but in the last twenty years an 'im '
provement has been made , which I
will toll you about , if you will kindly
give mo iust a drop more of coffee ,
with cold milk , this time. The way
the thing is done now is as follows :
When Capt. Berry , of the Rodtjors ,
wants a polar bear for dinner , ho
gives n midshipman a copper bedspring -
spring and n chunk of salt pork. The
midshipman compress the spring per
fectly iint , wraps the pork around it
tight , and holds it so until it freezes
solid. Then the frozen pork , Bluffed
with the bed-sin ing , is thrown out to
the nearest iceberg , where it is
promptly swallowed by n polar boar.
When the heat of the boar's stomach
thaws out the pork it releases the
spring , which Hies out , and the bear
BOOH dies from a pain in his aide. "
"Major , " said Mrs. Max with
much warmth , ' 'I don't believe that
story is true. "
"No , my dear , nnd you won't , until
in n few years , you see it in some
fashion paper , and then you will
awear by it. "
