stroyed merchantmen, but eluded all
naval pursuit Escaping every danger,
she accomplished more work and did
more harm than any other ship of an
cient or modern times
So great, indeed, was the injury done
to American commerce, that at length
the government built a ship of good
live-oak in the navy-yard of Ports
mouth, n. H., and naming her the
Kearsarge, after one of the mountain
peaks of the Old Granite State. COM
missioned her, under the command of
Capt. John A. Winslow, to hunt down
this famous 'Corsair of the Seas"
The Kearsarge Immediately went in
search of the Ala bama, and found her
at last in the harbor of Cherbourg, on
the northern coast of France. The
Alabama had run in there for coal,
and Capt. Winslow, having made sure
OF his famous enemy, awaited her of
the coast. Visitors from Paris, and all
the country round, focked to town, as
rumors of coming naval combat filed
the air. and the rumors proved not with
out foundation: for on Sunday morn
ing, June 10. 1864, while thousands Of
spectators lined the shore, the Ala
bama, flushed with her past exploits,
and confident of success. sailed proudly
out to meet the Kearsarge beyond the
neutral waters of the bay.
''We, as victors, will continue last
nights festivities on shore this even
ing" said the Alabama's officers to
their friends, on taking leave, laughing
merrily over the hand-shakings and
good-bys. One hour and two minutes
from the time the first guns We're fred,
those very confident officers were swim
ming for their lives, and the Alabama,
riddled with shot and shell, her hull
pierced through and through by the
eleven-inch shells from the great after
pivot gun of the Kearsarge, and with
many of her crew killed and wounded,
had disappeared forever beneath the
waves.
THE Alabama sunk" How the news,
when it arrived, flashed over this coun-
try, and with what rejoicing it was re-
ceived in all the loyal states!

PUGILIsr CoRBE1T's MISTAKE.

One Jim Corbett, ! pugilist, says be IS
ready 10 wipe up the whole kit and
posse that are forever tagging after him
and nagging and aggravating him. He
wants to do it all in one week. He will
meet them one at time and lick EACH
while he waits.
Corbett represents the nearest thing TO
decency in pugilism. He IS not dissi-
pated or immoral to the extent that
other champions have been. But he is
strong enough and quick enough to
knock the wadding out of any bully In
the world. At the same time he dislikes
his calling and discourages brutality.
After his last fight he said emphatic
ally that he would fight no more; that
he had licked The biggest and was salts
fed. Corbett made prize-tghting aes-
thetic. He made the surgeons and the
ANTAGONISTS take a lively interest il the
sport. He showed the world how inf
nitely fine and active all the muscles in
the body were, and TO what high state
Of fieNibIity and strength they could be
brought He demonstrated .has quick.

That was Corbeti's crime. He began

and +. J. Wool of NrTfoik.
The question before the committee was
a purely legal one. whether the commit

The opponents OF the bill stated that
