Dated Omaha, June 23 1881, wiitd HOW THE ALABAMA SUNK, The Victory of Kearsarge--Bloody Scene on the Confederate Cruiser's Deck, Howard, in Philadelphia Weekly Times, The Kearsarge steamed away to seaward until about ning or ten miles from the break-water, when she veered and headed direct for the Alabama, That stopped the chaff the boys had been passing around about her having weakened and turned tail, and each one seemed to realize at last that this was no_child’s play. By this time about three miles intervened between the belligeronts, which was rapidly being decreased. When within about a mile and a quarter from the Kear- sarge the Alabama veered, presenting her starboard broadside, and npl'nt‘fi the ball by firing her 110-psunder rifled pivot at an elevation for two thousand yards range, followed almost instantancously by a whole broadside. The guns were worked and served with the utmost rapidity, and in a few min- utes another broadside was poured in, when the Kearsarge, being by this time about eight hundred yards dis- tant, presented her starboard battery and the firing became general. The spirit of carnage had begun to ani- mate the crew, and the desire to be the upper dog in the fight stirred each man to emulation. A few broadsides assed when the Kearsarge, under full head of steam, forged ahead, stecring 80 near as to pass the Alabama's stern and rake her fore and aft, and also get between her and the shore, This manoeuver was checkmated by a port helm, causing both vessels to move in a circle revolving around a common center distant from each other about five or six hundred yards, The firing, meantime continued with unabated vigor. The steady directness of the fire from the Kearsarge now began to be felt. The 11-inch shells poured into the ill-fated Alabama with sickening regularity and YPrecision, dealing death and destruc tion on every hand. Guns were dis- mounted and their crews decimated by a single shot. Early in the action a shell struck the blade of the fan, breaking it short off and injuring the rudder. Another landed in the en, gine room, and tore things all to pieces, damaging the machinery, making a hole in the boiler, and flood- ing the stoke hole with boiling water. On deck the prospect was no more cheering. Men dropped dead, cut in twain by a shot or shell, while the groans of the wounded, struck by the crashing and flying splinters mingled with the muttered curses of the sea- men and the hoarse orders of gunners and officers. At half-past 12, Mr. Kell had jib and foretopsails hoisted and attempted to stand in toward shore, distant by this time about five miles. This was prevented by her op- ponent ranging up and pouring in a raking-fire cf 8hot and shell. Word was passed aft almost immediately that the vessel was sinking, where- upon a flag of truce was suspended trom the quarter and the new officer, Sinclair, sent in a boat to surrenderthe vessel. During his absence the whale- boat, dingy and three cutters were launched, and preparations made to desert the doomed vessel. Before they could be perfected however, she settled by the etern, her mast rising high.out of the water. The main- mast, which had been already badly shattered by the firing went by the board, and a few secords sufticed to engulf the shattered hulk of the late scourge of the seas. Struggling in the vortex were many of her crew, and the efforts of Sinclair, who had received permission from Captain Winslow to return and rescue the survivors, were soon ably seconded by the boats of the Deerhound, two cut- ters from the Kearsarge and two French pilot boats that were near the spot. The whale boat and dingy of the Alabama, with the boats of the Deerhound, well freighted, made quickly for the yacht, which immedi- ately steamed away to the northward, bearing safely away from captivity Captain Semmes and a majority of his ‘‘best bowers,” while the cutters transferred their cargoes to the Kearsarge. One pilot boat turned over thosé ‘she had rescued to the same sheltering care, while the other one stood in for shore and aided in the escape of those who were lucky enough to get on board of her. The Kearsarge backed up and had trans- ferred to her decks a total of five ofticers, sixty-three men and one dead body. Semmes, on board of the Deer- hound, reached Southampton with thirteen of his officers, and nearly thirty of his crew and petty ofticers, The pilot boat landed quite a number, and the killed and drowned were never accounted for. —_— The Woman Who MadeS. J. Tilden a Bachelor: Cleveland Leader, ““Your great great grandfather must have been a beastly ugly man,” said the bartender to Old Reminiscence, as he shoved a spittoon to a man that spouts tobacco juice. ‘“Why, now, beauty?" ““Because, according to Secripture, the sin of the purents was handed to the third nmll fourth generations, Sich ugliness as yours is sinful, If there was enough of it left to make such a face as yours after furnishing three generations before you, your ancestors must have had a big inyoice of awful ugliness on hand when they opened shop “‘People who inhabit transparent edifices should not hurl projectiles,” intervened Mr. Syllables profoundly. *‘Besides,” added the red noses man, “0Old Reminisences grows handsomer every day, and the bar-tender grows uglier.” “Of course,” returned the bar-tend- er, ‘‘there ain't any room for him to grow uglier; he reached the limit of ugliness when he was born,” “I'he ugliest human I ever saw,” began the whittler, picking his teeth with the point of his knife, ‘“‘was the woman who went back on 8, J. Til- den and made a bachelor of him,” Everybody waited, but he calmly kert on destroying his dentifrice. ‘Well, how ugly was she?” returned old Reminiscence, anxious to hear that somebody held over him, ““Well, she looked like she had been born at midnight, and looking toward yesterday and once for sunshine had made her cross- eyed. The color of her hair was a kind of eran to-morrow both at f . , kind of so; taffy—just like the color of slipper spank red. The rest of her features was 80 ugly she had to git up in the night to rest her face.” After a painfal pause the bar keeper essayed mervously, “Will the erowd take something at the expe of yours truly?” 'i'ho deadlock broke. Why He Wam't Insnred, Chicago Inter.oean, He was an old man_and said he'd scon better times, 1 hoped he had, but as T was unusually busy and didn’t want any life insnrance, if he would excuse me — “Oh yes,” said he; ‘“all young man; I'll drnY in again, The next dn{ he did ‘“drop in," sitting on 1y desk, he beg ¢ ingin this world, my young friend, will pay 80 big a per cent. on the lit- tle money invested a8 a policy in the Mutual Benefit association, the most, and in fact the only solid company on earth; capital over seven millions, and 80 prompt—why, Tinsured a man last week for ten thousand dollars, and the same day he was run over by a street car, so when I sent in the jolicy and right, premium I just said, by way of a post script, ‘Run over ~ by a horse car not an lour after insured: better send check, as he can't live; both legs cut off.’ The very next day I got acheck payable to his heirs for £10,660.

Little Rock Gazette. The governor recently received a call from a curious visitor. The governor, of course, is a kind of state executive father confessor, to whom all kinds of grievances are brought, and ‘‘hobby” calls are not strange, and do not demand very much of the attention constitutionally due to the n})poinlmnm of notaries public. But the caller in question does not belong to the common herd of annoyers. Af- ter leaving the executive chamber he came down the street, gesticulating with one hand, and with the other carrying two sticks. Stopping near a crowd, he began to make an exhibi- tion of grief-stricken loguacity. “‘Dr. Peter Robbins is my name, sah,” he said, in answer to a question, ‘T was born in Pensacola, and am an own dear cousin of Billy Bowlegs, My mother was a Injin 'oman, and my father was a Spaniard. Some- where in the family there's a streak of Guinea nigger. My mother was rich, and jin me a high larning.” He turned and grinned at the crowd, including the governor, who oceupied au honored position, Such agrin! His lips, covered with a thick growth of stubble, parted from a mouth picketed wich a set of cross-cut teeth, The intense brillisncy of his u{un, and their restless glitter in em phasis to the harrowed expression of his face, gave him an appearance cerie and repulsive. “All I want is my rights,” he said, leaning on the two sticks, “Tam a doctor, and just because I wouldn’t let a man die the doctors say I shan’t practice, When the other doctors gives a man up, I cures him, That's what makes them mad. Gentlemon T am a man of learning. ““How long have you been practic- ing?” asked a bystander. **Nearly all my life & ‘Did you attend a medical college!” “I got my 'plomer in the woods, among the roots and herbs,” “Well, don’t you know that the law suys that when a doctor gets a diplo- ma in the woods he must practice in the woods, and that when he gets a diploma in the city he must practice in the city?” “‘But sah,” said the doctor, his eyes glittering another almost unearth- ly emphasis to his leathury face. I practiced down in the swamps,” *Then you make a mistake, for swamp licenses are different from wood licenses,” “I don’t want that sort of talk. I'm in earnest. I practiced in Helena, where my wife lived.” ‘‘Where is your wife now?” #‘She liked another man better than She was a oneasy black woman as you ever see, Just then a black fellow, dressed in minstrel pants and the burnt cork regulation flip collar, came up with his banjo and asked: == Fur how long is yer wound up? ‘‘Go way, you descendant of the baboon, I am a descendant of Sham!” The minstrel (musical attache of a tent churn man) did not go away, yut stood, with serio-comic expres. sion, picking an accompaniment to the old man’s rhapsody n} complaint When the crowd coased to encourage the speaker, and when for a moment he stopped, the minstrel remarked, “Run \\lv\\'n‘" and withdrew. The old doctor, after declaring his inten tion of appearing before a board o medical examiners, shambled away. Later he visited the drug stores, at each one demandiug his papers, but failing to appear before the college of physicians, license was not granted. HOW [TO CATCH A POLAR BEAR. Improved Appliances for Proour- ing Steaks in the Artic Reglons. “Tdo so pity those men on the Rodgers,” remarked Mrs. Max, pass- ing the Major the honey, which he always insisted upon having with his rich cakes, ““Yes, indeed,” replied the Major, who was a trifle cynical that morning, having burned his mouth with coffee. ““Yes, indeed, my dear, the life of an Arctic explorer must be hard, They 7 Collins, Colorado.

Just imagine, if you can, the horror of living for three years out of the dust and wind and fog and rain of our glo- rious climate; of not meeting all that time the man at your club who thinks the oftener a story is told the better it is; of being without the consolation afforded you by the busted stock operator who knows you are glad of an opportuntty to lend him a twenty; of being where millinery and .Japa- nese decoration stores do not daily en- trap one's wife; of being—-"" “Why, major, how you do_ talk! Iwas only thinking of the horrid things the Rodgers crew will have to do to get their bear steaks.” “How's that?" asked the major, in- I'stantly interested over the subject of steaks, which he holds of much great. er importance than the Irish land troubles. “What Iknow about it,” resumed Mrs, Max, “I read in a fashion paper, and it ought to be true.” “It certainly ought to be, Mrs, Max, if only onaccount of itsold age.” “Well, the article said,” continued Mrs, Max, pretending to ignore the major’s slur on her favorite reading, “that Arctic explorers, when the want tokill a polar bear, plant a 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 tongue. It is 8o cold that he don’t feel the cut, but, tasting his own blood, continues to lici( the knife until his tongue is all frayed, and he bleeds to death. Isn’t it dreadful?” “Quiet your fears, my dear,” said the Major when his wife had finished. ““That 18 the way they killed the bear when that story was first published, but in the last twenty years an ‘im- provement has been made, which I will tell you about, if you will kindly give me just 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 Rodgers, wants a polar bear for dinuer, he gives a midshipman a copper bed- spring and a chunk of salt pork. The midshipman compress the spring per- fectly tlat, wraps the pork around it tight, and holds it 8o until it froezes sclid.
