A "Reminiscences of the Ekesars
sarge and Alabama Fight.

A writer in tho CornhiU Magazine, who
has had opportunities of conversation with
some of Semmes' Id crew, gives the follow
ing interesting "reminiscences of the fight
between the Alabama and Kearsarge, from
which it appears that the rebels were left to
drown when the pirate sunk:

no gunners to compare with the Kearsarge's.
Our gunners fred by routine, and when
they had the gun loaded, fired it off blind.
They never changed the elevation of their
guns ali through the fight, and the Kear-
sarge was working up to us all the while,
taking advantage Of every time she was hid
by smoke to work a little nearer, and then
her gunners took aim for every shot"
"Then it isn't true that the Alabama tried
to board the Kearsarge p "No, sir, she
did her best to get away from her from the
time the fight commenced. We knew well
that if we got in range of her Dahlgren
howitzers she would sink us in ten min

THE TRICHINA.
Alarming Microscopic Revelation
BY DR.. A. W. FLORA, CHICAGO.

The trichina spiralis is a microscope
animal belonging to the family Of parasites;
and, being found cithia the body, IS caileu
an ent0zOOH. 1ooo
1t was first discovered in the year 100;
but was not scientifically described until
1885. when Prof. Richard Owen, the eminent
zoologist, gave to the world its natural ms !:
torv. II was named the trichira spiraiis
go its rasembIance to fine hair coiled
upon itself, like watch spring, During that
wear six persons were admitted to the Lon
don hospitals, who were the subjects Of
trichina poisoning. Since that time the
leading medical men have been on the look
out for this parasite, and several cases have
been observed and fully described. This
parasite is only visible to the naked eye
when inclosed in its chalky capsule. These
appear as small white points, when sec
ton of muscle is examined. This appear
ance is shown in thfengraving below:

their work of destruction by piercing the
coats of the stomach and intestines. 1t is
not definitely known how long the parent

swarm, but it is certain that they never
leave the stomach and alimentary canal,
and probably die within a fortnight. The
instinct of the young trichire irnpels them
to seek the fibre of the voluntary muscles,
which is known to the anatomist as the
striated muscular fibre. Below will be seen
the young in the act of devouring the mus

Jones and John INDUCED in talking nj

THE FAIR GROUNDS. by invitation
of DIR. Keller, we yesterd y took a
ride out to 2the4air Grounds to see
the progress being made by the con-
tractors in repairing the grounds, and
the buildings, fences, &c. On arriving
at the grounds, we were surprised to
find that no work at all had yet been
done, except on the buildings. The
two ampitheatnes, LOO feet lone. each,
have had new floors, laid, and new
steps erected, and lock very well.
The two exhibition halls have been
re-boarded, but the stands have not
yet put in The Grounds suffer
ed seriously from being used by the
soldiers, many of the trees having
been cut down and much of the shade
destroyed. The Secretary @bpilding
is.in avery dilapidated. condition, and
will have to be made almost new. The
fence ought to be built at once, by all
means, and the horse track should be
at once put in complete order.
The committee in charge are doing
all they can to improve the appearance
of the Grounds, and to revive the
right spirit, and we hope they will be
encouraged by our citizens generally.
1t is not expected that there viii be a
very extensive agricultural display

that, beginning this Fall, the right
