ReminisceDce of the Kearsarge and
Alabama Fight.

A writer in the CornAiW Magazine. who
has had opportunities of conversation
with some Of Senmes's old crew, gives
the following interesting reminiscence Of
the fight between the Alabama and Kear-
sage, from which it appears that the rebels
were left to drown when the pirate sunk:
II thought you had been 10 the Con-
federate navy" II was," said Aleck /:
Il was with Semmes everywhere be went.

ade running, and on the Alabama all the
while he commanded her," "But not

him by the Deerhound." at was a

gesiively asked. II was that" replied
Alack, but be didn't care about enlarging.

gunners fred by routine. and when they
had the gun loaded, fred it off blind.
They never changed the elevation Of
their guns all through the 6ght, and the
Kearsage was working up to US all the
while, taking advantage of every time
she was hid BY smoke to work little
nearer, and then her gunners took aim
for every shot" Then il isn't true that
The Alabama tried 10 board the Kear-
sage ~ "No, sit, she did her best. to

would sink US in ten minutes"
But" | asked. don't you believe
that Semmes supposed he would whip the
Kearsage when be went to fight herr"
No; be was bullied into it, and be took
good care to leave all bis valuables on
shore, and had preserver on through
the fight. I saw him put it on, and I
thought if it was wise in him it wouldn't

PERSONAL NEATNEss.-Some say that
it is quite out of ii question for farmers
wives and daughters, who have so many
duties TO perform, to always look tidy,
Some do say so, and have often heard
Them but such declarations do not in my
opinion, initiate against the general prin-
ciple. A wife or daughter can be per.
sonally neat, no matter what duty she
may be employed at. Those who allow
themselves to appear negligently dressed.
on the plea that they have something to
do-cooking, washing, scrubbing, white
