A light broke in upon Jobs mind.
John and Almirv, ho felt sure, were
Mr. and Mrs. Stebbins. He had heard
that Mr. Stebbins hsd a suiter from
Vermont visiting him.
" I conclude you re Mr. atebbina

Job mentally concluded that sue was

he was of protecting her. But be said
he should be happy to do what he could

Mr. Job Dusonberry stepped en
board the train bound for Boston one
morning, feeling a kind of quer sensa
tion at the pit of tho stomach, lie
concluded, at the time he first became
aware of it, that it was occasioned by
eating too hearty a bieakfast in too
short a time. Later, he earns to a dif
ferent conclusion about it.
He was going "down to Boston" to
visit his brother Joseph, and stay "till
after the Fourth."
The car was pretty full, but he suc
ceeded in finding an unoccupied seat at I shallow puddle of water, and the first
last, and sat down to look about aim thoucht which came to mm was that
He had hardly begun to look, however, I he had turned into a big bull frog.
when another traveler entered the car I But, lookintr about him, in a bewildered
in search of a seat. She was an old way, for a solution of tho mystery, he
saw Miss Stebbins sitting on a floating
portion of a wrecked car farther out in
the pond, dripping like Undino, if not
so agreeable to look at.
Be you hurt, Mr. Dusenberry V sho
asked, aa she diseovered btm.
No. I don't think I be, answered
Job. "Hsd a smash up, didn t we"
" Seems so," answered Mish Stebbins.
I trues there ham t nobody killed,
an that's lucky, i m gtau you ain t
hurt. I was afenrd you was.
Her solicitude touched Job's huart as
nethinir else ever had

he asked, anxiously.
" Not any to spak of, answered
Mias Stebbins, "but my does is jest

Job secured a polo, and, after angling
unsuccessfully for a while, got a bite

concluded that she was one woman in a

The circumstances of the fight be
tween tho Kearsarge and the Alabama
are too well known to need repetition.
The grntleroan already referred to wet a
witness to this light, but did not tss
part in it, being at tho timo on board
a Freuch tug. no says that Admiral
Somnips made a great mistake in k fling
out of Cherbourg to me.it the Kear
sarge at all. He said the iinmeJiale
oatiHo of hia going out was a threat of
Witislow to go into port with tho Unit
ed States flag flying over the inverted
Confederate dag, and to sail around the
Alabama as an insult. Seiame fwat
back word that if he would not do that
he would go out and fight hint.
Ibe AMtativt had been at aoa then
abot two years, and her coppi hur;,
in "elbows" all ovor her bottom, which
was also very dirty. Vf hen in good con
dition she eeuld sail twelve or furuteeu
knots an hour, but at that time ahe
could not have made six knots at the
liest. Bosidea this, tbo powder that
she used was some that had been con
demned by the British (ioverntnent,
and, t make it still worse, a portion of
tbo condoasing aparatus of the veMol,
used for producing fresh water, was i
contact with her magazin,so tbst much
ef hor jtowdoi wss wt. Tho result was
that the heaviest shells fired by the Ala
bama failed to perforate the sides of the
kemnarijt, and sOtno or tbem wete seen
to drop in the water bnforo reaching her
enemy, although the vessels were at
the time not over threo hundmd yards
apart.
I he same gentleman expressed the
opinion that Admiral Semnees, in the
bok describing the cruise at the Ala-
lama, does himself great injustice when
he asortbes his feature to disable
the Ktarmry to the fact thst the
latter hung chain cables upon ber sides.
These cables were ouly placed upon her
bows, and bad the powder ol the Ala
bama been in good condition, ho ex
presses it as his epiaion that she would
have sunk the JCeartary in spite of all
such pro toot ion. One of the shells of
the AUtlmnui, which lodgnd in the stern
spot of tho Kearsarge, but did not ex
plode, is now in this city. Jfithadex

Setnuies displayed the greatest cool
ness in the handling of his vwttel dur
iag the wholo of the fight with the
Kearsarge and when the Alabama was
about to sink, he was the hist man to
leave her. A sailor nnme-1 Marrs who
had shown very great bravery during the
combat, and wh had picked up a shell
from the Kearsarge that fvll on the deck
of the Alabama and thrown it over

Horn men, and insisted that he should
put it on. Kemtnos rofuMMt to do so,
snd told tho Sailor Hint Ins 1 1 10 was
werth as much to him as the Admiral's
and that he iii'tst put it on himself.
Ho had in his hand some vauablo pa
pers, among them the bonds of a num
ber of ships that had bot-n captured, and
theso he gave to Marrs directing him
to save them at all haxzards. Subse
quently some of the officer and sailors

the boats of the Kearsesrge, but jumed
verboard. He was then picked up a
second tiiue by another of the Kear-
sargo's boats and a second time lesped
into the water, and was finally rescued
by a I reach boat, saving tne paers
which had been committed to his
care.
Setnmes was a very strict discipliua
nan. ibis was especially necessary in
.a as, a
the service in which the Alabama was
encaged. The line between tbst kind
of service and piracy was so narrow.
that but for the strictest discilpine, the
crew of the Confederate steamer would
have been guilty of all sorts of excesses.
sixty was tnado tip almost on ti rely of
Yankee sailors.
The same gentleman tolls an amus
ing anocdoto of Semmes' expeiience in
the ort of Bah is, in Biar.il. He stmt
an officer lo inform the Governor of
his intention of leaving, but the Gov
ernor was unwilling to give his consent
and replied that, acootding to the reg
ulations of the port, vessel wero not
allowed t6 leave after 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. Tho Captain of a little
Portuguese man-of-war, which was in
the harbor, volunteered his service to
prevent tho dupsrture of tho Alabama.
When Kesnmes was informed of this, ho
wa. greatly excited. "He does, docs
hel ' he exclaimsd, as hn paced up and
down the deck. "D n him, I'll spoil
his paint for btm.' Shortly after the
Alabama weighed her anchor and got
under way. Sailing around very eloso
to the little Forugtteso man of war, she
saluted Per flag with twenty -one guns,
and when the smoke cleared away the
Portuguese vessel, which was (laintod
white, was as black as a collier. There
was no interference with tho sailing of
th Alabama.

By a law of the Confederate Congress,
the officers and crew of the Alabama
were to receive from the Confederate
Government one half the value of all
American vessels destroyed, and the
whole value of all that were bonded
but their clrims were, of course, never
paid. The reason why prizes were de
stroyed was that the Alabama was not
allowed to take vessels whioh sue cap
tured into the ports of any foreign
country to be oondemned. The officers
and crevs ef all captured vessels were
very kindly treated while on lioard the
Alabama, During the day half of them
were allowed to go on dock at all times,
mingling with the crew, while the re
mainder were kept below. At night
all of them, of courso, were conhned.
The officers and crews of captured
vessels were also allowed to take with
them all their private property, but
none that belonged to the vessel.
