Death of Admiral Semlies

MOBILE, Aug. 30.-Admltal Semmes
died at ten minutes past seven O'Clock
this morning, at Point Clear.
Admiral Raphael Senimes, the most
distinguished officer of the Confederate
States navy, was born in Charles coun-
ty, Maryland, September II, 1909. He
entered the United States navy as mid
shipman in 1929, was commissioned
lieutenant in 1857, and commander in
1858, the rank he held at the outbreak
of the civil war, when he resigned and
Joined his fortunes tn those of the rebel
lious States. In 1884, while awaiting
orders, he studied law, and was admit.
ted to the bar at Cumberland, Mary
land. During the Mexican war he
served both on board ship and as aid to
General Worth. In 1861 he was at
tached to the lighthouse board as its
secretary. His first command in the
Confederate navy was the steamer Sum-
ter, which started out from New Orleans
in July, 1861, and ran the blockade at
the mouth of the Mississippi. With
this steamer he captured several vessels
in the gulf. He then went to South
amptOn, England where he was for
some time closely watched by the United
states steamer TuscarorS. When he
put to sea, the Tuscaror8 was detained
twenty-fOur hours by the British au-
thorities, but she followed Semmes to
the Straits of Gibraltat, and SO closely
bockaded linn in the port of Tangier
that he sold his vessel and returned to
England. In August, 1862, he took
command Of the steamer Alabama, built
for him at Birkenhead, England, and
manned by an English crew. With this
vessel he continued his career of CAP
turing and destroying merchant vessels.
On July II, 1868, off Galveston, Texas,
he engaged the United States gunboat
Hatteras, and after a, short action sank
her. On July 10, 1864, in an engage
ment nine miles off the harbor of Cher
bourg, France, the United States stea mer
Kearsarge, commanded by Capt. Wins
low, sank the Alabama. ~Semmes was
taken up by the English packet Deer
hound, aid was carried to England,
After the close Of the war he entered
upon the practice of the law in Mobile,
Alabama. In December. 1865, he was
arrested and taken to Washington, but
was released after an Imprisonment of
four months. In February, 1874,
Semmes petitioned Congress to remove
his disabilities, and the petition was
shortly after granted. Semmes was the
author of several works, the most PROM
ineDt of which are "Services Afioat
and Ashore During the Mexican War;"
Campaign Of General Scott in the
Valley of Mexico !" The Cruise Of the
Alabama and the Sumter" and {" Me-
moirs of Service Ahoat During the War
Between the States"

fring, both artillery and musketry, and
how that heaven was holding a candle
to hell, the fire walked warmer and
brisker. Up. from out of it, with brok-
en- tramp, came a detachment, silent,
jaded, powder begrimed, There could
not have been company all told; a
lieutenant marched at It's head, and it
was the remnant, so far as could be
gathered, the sole remnant, of one of
the first regiments of the Thirty second
division, that had crossed the ridge, over
which its debris was now listlessly trail
ing itself, three fine battalions strong.
At length the Jingle of cavalry &C
coutrements was heard, and squadron
of dragons rode on to the heights and
extended in skirmishing order relieved
the headquarter staff. 1t was poor
screen to lnterposo between victorious
and remorseless army and a mass of
wounded men; but nothing more was
available. The General had lost his
army, the fragments of an army had
lost their General. We turned the
heads of our jaded horses and silent
and depressed rode down the slope
across the valley and up the slope be-
yOnd.
Our pace was a slow walk, for there
were wounded men everywhere, limp
ing along the narrow pathway in front
of us, PROSTATE on the grass by the side
of 1t, or asleep in the very dust. Oc-
casiOnally we would strike detachments
of infantry who had climbed back out
of the fight, and were lying on their
arms in utter ignorance OF the best di-
tection in which to march. Or 1t might
be battery of artillery, halted in per.
picking dubiety whether if they went
op they might march into the bosom of
the Turkish army.-London News.

A Hotel for Women.

A most commendable enterprise is fast
approaching completion in New York.
The project for hotel for women, which
was planned and started by A. T. Stewart,
has been vigorously carried out by Judge
Hilton, and it is expected that the struct-
ure will be ready for occupancy in the
fall. A number Of large stores which
occupy the ground floor are nearly con-
pleted, and some of them already rented
1t is expected that the proceeds from
them will 60 far toward defrsying the
expenses of the hotel. The second and
third floors have large and handsome
offices, parlors and reception rooms which
are finely frescoed and painted. All of
the rooms are large and well lighted and
ventilated, and each has gas and running
water. This novel enterprise of conduct
ing hotel exclusively for women is
something of an undertaking. but those
interested in it are quite sanguine of sue
cess.
1t will be conducted upon the Euro
pean plan, and will be under the direc-
ton of matron. AT large restaurant,
which will be connected with the hotel,
guest may procure such food as her
purse will warrant. The rooms will be
rented for single night, or for week,
or month, and the prices will be
placed at the lowest limit possible. 1t
is expected that most of the occ lpants
will be of the laboring classes, but any
women of responsibility may obtain ad-
mittance. Of a necessity, the hotel will
have rules which will be rigidly en-
forced; chief among these is that requir-
ing cleanliness of dress and person. AS
the hotel is amply supplied with laun-
dries, bathing-rooms and an abundance
Of water, there will be no excuse for un-
cleanliness, and a dismissal from the
house will be the penalty of a violation
of this rule. 1t seems to us that there is
no reason why such an enterprise should
not succeed. Aside from being a very
laudable undertaking, it will supply a
want long felt by women whose necessi-
ties oblige them to frequent New York
on business, and whose resources are not
adequate to the demands of the ordinary
hotel; also, for those who wish for
more retirement than they could find
elsewhere, and for many other reasons.
1t is hoped that SO praiseworthy an ad-
venture may meet with success.-Toledo
Blade.

Cease Racking the System

With drastic cathartics and hurtful salivants,
and use that rational and genial recuperant,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the success of
which in the eradication OF disease and the
building up of feeble constitutions has ut
terly confuted the preposterOus medical the
erists who insisted on the nationality Of
depicting the frame in order to restore it to
health. Appetite, easy digestion, regular
sure result of the use Of the finest of
Americas invigorsnts as increased loss of
power and irritation OF the system were OF
the old exhausting method. The new era Of
medical treatment inaugurated by the Bit
ters is indeed happy one for the sick and
feeble, for 1t has not only placed health with
in their reach, but saved them from the
hurtful consequences Of an absurd fallacy.

LEARN FROM ExPERIENCE.-There is
no higher function or duty that an agri-
cultural paper can render its readers than
to prompt them to experiment for them
selves on their own farms, gardens and
orchards. There is no so good way to
learn how to do anything as to do it. If
a young man would learn how to play
the pianoforte, it would not be by de-
voting himself to the study of manuals,
books and periodicals on music, treating
of the methods of instruction, but by
putting his fingers on the keys of the in
strument and practising daily. So if he
would learn how to farm it must be by
working on farm. If he would learn
how to raise corn, it must be by growing
corn. Teaching and reading alone can
no more make good farmers than good
musicians. With practice, books, peri
odicals and papers become great andim-
portant, ay, Indispensable aids to him
who would make rapid and Ineligible
advancement in either art. 1t is prac-
tice, with science, that makes the ready
and successful farmer. Home.

GREAsINa WAaONs.--A good wagon
costs considerable sum, and should be
properly cared for and made to last as
long as possible. Few persons under
stand the importance Of thoroughly lu-
bricating the axles, etc., of wagons and
carriages, and still fewer know which
are the most suitable lubricators to use,
and the proper way of applying them.
A we'll made wheel will endure ordinary
wear from ten to twenty five years, if care
is taken to use the right amount of the
proper lubricator, but if this matter is
not attended to a wheel will be used up
in FIVE or six years. Lard should never
be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate
the hub and work itself all round the
lemons of the spokes and spoil the wheel.
Tallow is the best lubricator for wooden
ax.etrees, and castor oil for iron. When
oiling an axletree, the spindle should be
wiped clean with cloth wet with spirits
of turpentine, and then apply few
drops of castor oil near the shoulder and
end. When greasing an axletree, just
enough grease should be applied to give
q light coating; more does more harm than
good, by working out and damaging the
hub.
