He was ordered to Mobile in 1862 and

boat Morgan. In the battle in the
spring of 1865, when Farragut forced
an entrance into Mobile bay, the little
vessel was soon driven under the shell

son, however, reminding the crew that
this was the only free vessel in the
bay, and would be of incaleulable value
to the Confederacy if saved, asked the
men to volunteer to run the boat up
to Mobile. Every man stepped to the
starboard. Thereupon Harrison re-
quested the captain to step below.
The captain declared the act one Of
mutiny, but Harrison said they would
talk about that later. II was then

''Teddie" Hewitt. the brightest of all the
Hewitt children, has taken unto himself west
ern bride, with pot of money, says the New
York Recorder.
'Teddie" can do almost anything, and made
the wedding ring he placed on his wife's finger
out of $40 gold piece
He is a great lapidsry, too, and can set prec-
ious stones and do almost anything with them
except pawn them. A very useful and handy
fellow to have about, especially, as, like all
western women, his bride, nee Ashley of Ohio,
has very decided penchsnt for jewelry
IL is a remarkable fact that every one of
Abram Hewitt's children, sons and daughters
aike, has been taught some trade or cultivate I
some talent to such perfection that, should
disaster ever overtake the glue factory each
one or them could maze a competence from
his or her chosen vocation.
Miss SAllie Hewitt has entire charge of her
fathers farm at Ringwood, is a practical dairy
mai I. and understands sill the minutise of hus-
bandry.
Miss Nellie Hewitt is thorough musician. a
skilled violinist, and has for years been head
and front OF the ladies' orchestra of New York
Cooper Hewitt, the eldest son, Is a skilled me-
chantc thorough carpenter and electrician
and skilled draughtsman, having designed and
Ia many instances made the most i'm portant
improvements In his new house in Lexington
avenue.
And the youngest boy is already an expert
enced chemist, and deeply learned in the arts Of
alchemy.
A pretty hard family, this, to down. when you
come TO think of it. and no wonder, for they in
merit all their aRgresslveness and independence

such an uproar when mayor OF New York.
