[Copyright by American Press Association]

GOOD sea fight
always makes , a
fascinating story.
Perhaps it is the
feeling at the out-
set .that there can-
not be any non‘
sense when two
‘ “ war vessels, with
fire up, lock horns,
and that blood and
splim'ers are cer-
tain to follow. In
the civil war the
Confederate rams
Merrimac (Virgin-
ia), Albemarle and
Arkansas gave the Union navy some lively
work, each in its own way. The Arkansas,
like the Albemarle, was a. surprise to
its own people as well as to its enemies.
Six weeks before she took to the wave
she was an empty hull, .anchored in the
channel of the Yazoo river, four miles from
dry land. Her guns and engines were lying
loose on deck, the iron for armor was sunk
in the mud and water of the overflow, and
the bands and bolts had yet to be forged
out of metal scattered over sixty miles of ter-
ritory, wherever it could be gathered, and
the timber for her gun carriages was still
standing thick with foliage. In this situa-
tion Capt. Isaac N. Brown found her, and
with authority to complete her, regardless
of expense, set to work with untrained me-
chanics and next to no machinery. Brown
had served in the old navy, a good school
for strong men.

He stopped at nothing, and though
working under every disadvantage, with a
pOWerful Union fleet within six hours’
steaming, and hostile guns constantly
sounding in the ears of his improvised
force of helpers, he was ready with the
falling of the waters to weigh anchor. The
armor had not been put over her stern, and
for appearance’ sake boiler iron was tacked-

. on to cover 11p the wood. She looked, says
her commander, “as if a small seagoing
vessel had been cut down to the water’s
edge, leaving a. box for guns amidships.”
She carried ten guns—six in broadside and
two fore and aft—with a crew of one hun-
dred seamen and sixty riflemen from the
army of Missouri. The under officers were
all from the old navy, and Brown declares
that his only trouble with them was to
keep from running the Arkansas into the
Union fleet before she was ready for bat-
tle. When within sixty miles of the Miss-
issippi Brown sent word to the Confeder-
ate commander at Vicksburg, Gen. Earl
Van Dorn, that he was ready for opera.-
tions. Van Dorn ordered him to steam out
of the Yazoo and attack the upper Union
fleet and come to Vicksburg.

There were thirty-seven Union vessels in
sight of that place, he said, and “plenty
more up the river.” It was to be expected
that the formidable Union fleets of Farra-
gut, Davis and Ellet would not rest in
their moorings to await the Arkansas, and

‘ she sailed down the Yazoo, all hands alert
for the enemy. On the first day the as-
tounding discovery was made that owing
to a leakage in steam all the powder on
board had been rendered unfit for use. A
landing was made and the powder was
spread out on tarpaulins, shaken, turned
and dried under the fierce July sun, and
the next day the ram steamed on toward
the mouth of the Yazoo. Another night
and morning run brought the vessel to
Old river, an abandoned channel of the
Mississippi, so bread as to form a lake. Its
length from where the Yazoo enters to the
opening into the Mississippi is about ten
miles. Midway of this body of water were
seen three Union vessels steaming up the
course. It seems that deserters from some
Confederate fcrce in the Yazoo had reached
one of Farragut’s vessels and announced
the coming of the ram. Although the' 1n-
formation was scouted as imposs1 lo, owing
to the sparse resources of the Confederates
in that region, the ironclad Carondelet,
the ram Queen of the West and the gun-
boat Tyler were sent up to meet anything on
these waters. Brown hailed their appear-
ance with a speech to his men. “Gentle-
men,” said he, “in seeking combat, as we

now do, we must win or perish. Should I

fall , whoever succeeds to the command
will do so with the resolution to .go through
the enemy’s fleet or go to the bottom.

Should they carry us by boarding, the Ar-

kansas must be blown up; on no account
must she fall into the hands of the enemy.

Go to your guns!”

That speech meant business, and the o'fli-
cers teak off their coats, while the men
stripped to the waists and bound wet hand-
kerchiefs on their heads. The riflemeu
fixed bayonet/s and stood ready for board-
ers. Brown ordered his pilot to stand for
the Carondelet, the central vessel of the
three, but before he could ram her she put
about, first firing. her how guns at short
range. The Tyler and Queen of the West
also put about, and poured shot from their
stern guns into the plucky ram. Then came

a lively battle chase. The Arkansas kept
her prow aimed at the fleeing Carondelet,
her two sixty-four pounder bow guns
raking the chase with terrible effect. The

tim-etricd to drop astcru of the saucy ram,
but BrOWn no sooner pointed his pnow at
them than in turn they followed the
Oarondelet’s lead. In half an hour all
three gave 11 thefight, though not strik-
ing' colors. The Caroudelet ran into shel—
low‘ water, where the Arkansas could not

follow, the latter taldug a paiting shot,

Over twenty shots had entered theCaron—

delet; her pipes, pumps, beams and princi- -

rywere a useless mass, and of
crewthirty were killed, wounded and
missing. The Tyler was penetrated by
eleven shot, was filled with steam andhad
ht killed and sixteen wounded. The
'kausas crew suffered from small shot.

Arkansas. Butthcrcwae no timctclose.
With the Tyler steaming rapidly toward
the main fleet, to give warning, Brown
must expect a warm reception «for his ram
if he kept his ecursc. It would be e. fight

fleet. But the Arkansas steamed on, her
commander, with warm blood streaming
down his face, inspecting, repairing and
animating all. Owing to damages to pipes
the temperature of- thc fire room was 130
dogs. and steam had dropped down to
twenty pounds. When the ram swung
into the Mississippi only the Tyler and
Queen of the West Were t'o'be-seen, but
soon a line of men-of-wvt were in sight,
literally, by hulks alone, barring progress
down the stream. There were iron-clads
superior in armor and Speed to the ram;
there Were seven rams and ten sodgding
ships of war, in all, says good authority,
“3,000 men, 300 heavy guns, and a. vast
squadron of iron-elude, gunboats, friga'tes,
etc., against a solitary Confederate vessel
of ten guns and 200 mom” .

Without a scoond’s delay the Arkansas
dashed along the line, giving- Gunboat No.
6 several shots. Next she encountered the
Louisville and gave her a broadside. The
Benton, Louisville and Cincinnatl Were
passed, the ram firing at eyerything within
range. The Benton, Louisville. and Cin-
cinnati swung into the current and 'g'ave
chase. Then the ram ran the gantlet of
nine vessels, receiving a damaging broad»
side from each. These were the Hartford,
Iroquois, Richmond, Sumter, Onéida,
ota, Wissahickou, Winona and Essex.

Two eleven-inch shot penetrated the
ram, doing fearful execution. One shell
exploded in a cotton bale lining of the bul-
wark and'sct up a blaze, also wounding or
killing some sixteen of the gun crews. As
a rule, however, shots were flattened and
shells shattered against the armor of the
ram. Every shot, on striking the plate,
threw sparks and flame like flint. On the
other hand the Arkansas ut shots through
the Hartford. Richmond, Iroquois and
Benton and several other vessels. The
Union rams vainly attempted , to run her
to the bottom The Lancaster made one
efiort and got three shots through her
steam pipe 4. - ~ -

After an heur’s run Vicksburg was in
sight, and arifie shell from a battery on
the bluffs warned the Union fleet to cease
the pursuit. The siege of Vicksburg was
raised, and the people and the army hailed
the blood stained hero. Brown, and his dar-
ing crew. The Union loss reported at the
time was forty-two killed and sixty-nine
wounded. Seventy-three shots were re-

 

RUNNING PAST TEE FLEET.

ceived. Brown reported ten killed and fif-
teen wounded, and his vessel so badly
damaged in her steam pipes that he could
not use her as a ram.

While the Arkansas lay at the wharves
at Vicksburg the consternation among
Union commanders was very great lest he
should g; down and recapture New Or-
leans. e commander of the Mississippi
ram fleet, Ellct, said, “The con ued ex-
istence of the rebel gunboat Ar ausas so
near us is exercising a very pernicious in-
fluence upon the confidence of our crews,
and even upon the commanders of our
boa

A council was held in Farragut’s flag-
ship, and it was resolved to run the upper
fleet past the Vicksburg batteries and the
redoubtoble ram, so as to protect Farra-
gut’sgrcat prize, New Orleans. The upper
and the lowerflccts Were to open on the
Vicksburg batteries, and one by one the
choicest vessels were to run past the ram,
giving her broadsidce or their beaks, as was
most convenient Just a week after the
ram‘s exploit, and while she was without
a crew, having only men, with officers to

hel , for two guns, the ball opened amid
' eni cannonadc from the two
fleets, and t answering Confederate bat-

teries. The Union ironclad ram Essex and
the Queen of the West dropped down and
stood for the Arkansas.

The Essex found the Arkansas at anchor
andrau into her across current. doing lit-
tle damage with her beak in consequence,
but one of her ten-inch shot tore throuh
the Confederate with terrible damaged
abling a gun and half her crew. In return
Brown gave the Essex 11 broadside and
sent her drifting down the river. The
Queen of, the West came on, making the
mistake also of striking across the current
instead of with it. The Arkansas booked
off, saving herself from the check of con-'
tact with the strongest ram afloat, and
giving her a score of shots that sent her
back up the riva clock, with a badly
damaged smokcstack, and all of her steam
pig: shot away.

e Arkansas was now put into partial
repair. Brown went on sick leave, turn-
ing over the command to his lieuten-
ant, Stevens. The latter was ordered to
take the vessel to BatcnRouge, and
steamed rapidly down without encounter-
ing a Union vessel. One of the engines
of the med faulty and was re ed
and she enup stream on a t trip.
Here she met the} Union fleet, the Essex
loading. The Arkansas promptly storied
for her old antagonist, but her weak engine
again gave out. The Essex opened, the
Arkansas replying, and finally Bteveusrau
his vessel into the mud and sent all hands
ashore. ’a Firing her, he sent her adrift, and
the Essex-bum a. soda distance poured. in
afurlous fimuntil she blew up from her
own magazine.

In his account in Century War Book

While needing the Morning Popes.

It was an impromptu gathering of theat-
rical men—once! those groups that congre-
gateevcryoncc in a while andasort of
love fast is held. Well, the conversation
turned to story tellinga and some reminis-
cent fellow spokeof ofDaulel in the lions’
den. ‘ '

"I’ll tell you What it is,” said one, whose
name, by the way, is Daniel. “You’ve all
undoubtedly heard the story of. Daniel in
the lions’ den, but I don’t think you ever
heard of the lion in Daniel’s den, did you?”

Nobody had, and so Daniel proceeded.

“Some years ago, ” said he, “before I be-
came an ordinary manager, I w as a wealthy
and popular advance agent, leadiug‘ my’
show and 'my’ people to fame and fortune.
I chanced to drop into Boston one day, and
stopped at a theatrical boarding house kept
by an old professional, known as ‘Mother’ _
Lincoln. Well, it was night and I had been
out—I was very tired, so went directly to
bed. It must have been about 9:30 in the
morning when I awoke, and sent the porter
for the Sunday papers. on he went out
of my room he left the door ajar, and I was
too lazy to get up and shut it.

“I read the paper for awhile, and soon
became engrossed in a. story about Sara
Bernhardt, when an irresistible impulseto:
100k up came over me. I looked up. ,

"Great Scott!” said Daniel, wiping _his
perspiring brow, “the thought of my feel-

 

Spi— - lugs then makes me sweat to this day.”

“Well, what did you see?” came in a
chorus from the audience.

“Nothing more nor less than a well de-
veloped specimen of the Numidian lion
gazing at me close to my bedside. I’d
heard about people's hair standing on end

from fright. I realized then what that

meant. My blood congealed in my veins.
and that lion seemed to grow to the size of
an elephant.

“Just imagine the feelings of a man
lying quietly in bed reading a Sunday
paper, and then looking up to see that
terrific beast almost looking into his eyes.
It was awful, gentlemen! It was awful!

-“I realized, however, that I must do
something, so, never taking my eyes from
the brute, who regarded me with a sarcastic
smile, I grasped the bedclothes with one
hand, a pillow in the other—to stuff in the
lion's mouth if he jumped at rue—and
with a yell which would have made aWild

'West Indian groan with envy I sprang to

the back side of the bed.

“With a wild roar of amazement the lion
retreated to the door, and thus for a few
seconds the beast and I regarded each
other. when presently I heard a voice call-
mg:

“ ‘Benuy, Benny, where are you? Come
right down here, sirl’

“To my uuutterable amazement the lion
wagged his tail, gave me a part1 11g look
and backed out through the door.

“Ye gods! but wasn’t I relieved! and I
fell flat on the bed, too weak to stir. After
a bit I got up, dressed and found Mother
Lincoln. 'Medame,’_said I, ‘I wasn’t aware
you were keeping a menagerie. I thought
this was a simple. ordinary boarding house.’
‘What do you mean!’ said she. And then
I told her what had happened.

“She laughed, said ‘Look here,’ and took
me to a rear door which looked out in the
court yard, where, trotting up and down
the yard, was 'Beuuy’ and a lioness. ‘You
see,’ she explained, ‘I was out with a. circus
and menagerie a few months ago thatwent
to pieces. Nobody could get salaries, so I
got these cubs, and they have grown a lit-
tle since. I’m sorry Benny frightened
you.’ ”—Chicago Times.

The scientists, doctors" and others wno
condemn the use of tobacco should visit
Siam and Burmah. The writer, while in
the United States navy, visited Bangkok
once and was surprised at the indiscrimi-
nate manner in which the natives indulwd
iuthe use of the weed. Handsome, dark
skinned young women, in their many col-
ored garments, were walking about the
streets pulling away at their cigarettes.
Ol'd women, men, boys and even the chil-
dren were smoking. It was a common
sight to see little tots, not over 4 or 5 years
old, with a string of beads around their
necks and a cigarette over each ear, smok-
ing like a. full grown man as they trotted
aboutasnakedes on the day they were
born.

Questioning an English speaking native,
I loomed that the children are taught to
chew the betel nut mixed with tobacco
and to smoke as soon as they are able to
walk. Notwithstanding this excesu've use
of the seductive weed I saw no ill effects
from it. On the contrary, all of the chil-
dren seen smoking were sleek, fat little
bodies, who seemed to enjoy their cigar-
ettes—New York Herald.

Blockodcd by a Fat Man.

Blockades are frequent on the bridge,
but they are seldom created by a manstop~
ping to pick up a pin. That, however, was
the case the other day. The offender was a
fat man.

It was during the “rush” hours, andthe
heavy weight, with a friend, was struggling
toward Brooklyn. They reached the plat
form intactalthcugh perspirlng and almost
breathless. Suddenly the fat man brought
the thousands of people behind him to an
abrupt pause by slowly stooping down and
picking up a pin.

This he thrust into the lapel of his coat.
Then the blockade, which had lasted for
about ten seconds, was raised.

"What on earth made you stop and pick
up that pin?” inquired the fat fellow’s
friend.

“I couldn’t help it,” he replied; “it’s sec-
ond nature to me. When I was a boy my
mother taught me these lines:

“Sees pin and pick it up,
Good luck to you all day:

See a. pin and let it lay,
Bad luck to you all day. ‘

“Although I am not superstitious I never
give a pin the go by. N o, I bar hairpins.”

“Well, ” rejoined his friend, “I used to
pick up pins for luck when I was younger,
but after I had been married a few months
I was cured of the habit. What brough.
it about? Oh, I see, you’re a bachelor and

can’t possibly have any idea of the number
of pins, safety clasps and hair spikes a
woman can lose around the house in the
course of the day. Why, if I’d kept on
picking up plus all these years I Would
have become a hunchback. You’ll have to
get married, old man, before you’ll be able
to sympathize with me. ”—New York Her-
old.

Price of Paper Greatly Reduced.

The process of making paper has been so
much cheapeued and simplified' 1n the last
twenty years that paper which once was
sold for ten cents a pound can now be
bought for three cents. The use of wood
fiber instead of rags has had much to do
with this. There is very little paper now,
except the best Irish linen, that has any
rags in it. Cottonwood is best for this
purpose, and' 1n a recent trip through Ten-
nessee I saw great piles of twenty or thirty
cords lying at the steamboat landings wait-
ing for transportation. Of course cotton-
wood fiber cannot be used for the finer
kinds of paper, but for wrapping paper it
has superseded 311:5 wan-SE. Louis Globe—
