to an account of the pursuit of the Alabama,
including some interest ing papers on
the engagement between the United States
steamer Hatteras, under command OF
Lieutenant Commander Blake, and the
Confederate ship Alabama. under Semmes.
According to the report OF Blake, the disas-
ter which overlook his vessel might have
been much more serious.
He relates this last fight Oh his ship
with a directneSs that loses none OF the
dramatic force which such accounts usually
possess. He says he maint aimed an active
fire with the double hope of disabling
the Alabama and of attra citing the atten-
ton of the fleet off Galveston, which was
only twenty-eight miles away. At this
time the Hatteras was on fire In two
places and beyond human power hopeless
wreck upon the waters.
LOSS OF THE HATTERAS.
He realized that there was no hope and
that the ship was sinking. There was time
for all the survivors TO get from the Hatteras
TO the Alabama. He adds as the one con-
ISOLATION left him: " Ten minutes after leav-
ing the Hatteras she went down bow first
with her pennant at her masthead, with all
her muskets and stores of every character,
the enemy not being able, owing to her rapid
sinking, 10 obtain a single weapon"
Wilkes continued TO seek re-enforcements
and a Strengthening of the West India
squadron. Some of these Intellectual appeals
were not couched in weak or indirect Ian
guage. In one Of the numerous letters he
wrote TO Secretary Welles on this subject
he said:" 1t seems TO me somewhat remark
able that you should, under the circum-
stances, expect captures to be made, and
think on reflection you must do US justice
to believe we have done our duty, although
we have not filled our pockets.
Nor should 1T surprise you or any one
that a few vessels should have escaped
our vigilance when you are aware how
many have run the blockade with
large number OF efficient vessels guard
ing the entrances to Mobile and Charles
ton harbors. - II is needless for Inc
to add that 1 have nothing further to
say upon the subject. You were fully
and timely advised OF the condition Of the
squadron and the motive have for desiring
an increase of force. You have not thought
proper to send IL to me, and although my
views cannot be carried out / shall not fail
to use the force l have TO the best adyan-
tage."
One of the great difficulties encountered
by Union commanders, according to Wilkes,
was the alleged friendliness of British Off
cials for Confederate ships, and his sus-
picions led to protracted correspondence
with local Officers. In a letter on this sub
ject to the st. Thomas authorities he states:
"A contraband trade is carried on ut this
place under the eyes and with the approval
and sanction Of the authorities"

CHRISTMAS POLICE RECORD.
One Hundred ana Eigty seven Ar
rests Were Made.

A large element of the local population
celebrated Christmas with drunkenness
and disorder. 1t was one of the worst
nights from a police standpoint that the
city has seen in a number, and several Of
the police precincts had to paste several
of the report blanks together in order to
write out their statements of crimes, casual
ties and arrests for the records of the
police department.
The aggregate of arrests for Christmas
footed up 1877, and then, too, the police
were more lenient than on ordinary oc-
casions, and allowed people who were
chuck full of alcoholic animation several
knots more rope than on any other season
Of the year with the possible exception
of the Fourth of July.
In the number Of arrests, precinct No. z
heads the list with forty-flve to its credit,
and No. 4, which can be depended always
to put up a good sho ing in the matter of
crimes, shows up with thirty-two names on
its blotter. The record for the precincts
follows:
No. 1, II; No. 2, "a; No. 3. Ia; No. 4,
80; No. 8, 8; Noe, 10; No. z, 45; No.
8, l2; No. 8, 4; headquarters, 0.
The arrests are divided into classes as
follows: Assaults, "a; drunk and disorder
ly, 104; larceny, 6; miscellaneous, 43;

QUEER SPRIGS OF GENTILITY.

ofthc earl fDenbigh-are some what eccen-
tric race and the late earl lies buried, not
in an ordinary shroud, but in the rough
robes OF a friar of the order of St. Francis.
The cause of his conversion from t.? church
of England to Catholicism was OF an extra
ordinary character. One morning while
visiting the country church near his country
seat at Downing, he observed the sexton
after the conclusion of the communion serv-
ice sweeping the fragments OF the conse-
Grated bread off the altar onto the floor,
Just as if they had been so much dust The
earl was deeply shocked, believing as
he did in the real presence, and, going
down on his knees, picked up the crumbs
from the floor and ate them with every
manifestation of reference. Very shortly
afterward he and his wife were received
into the Catholic church at Edinburgh.
In spite OF his pTeposterous pretrnsions
to kinsmanship with the house of Hapsburg,
which rest on no foundation whatsoever,
and have been shown by the most efni-
nent autiquaries of the day to be based on
clever forgeries perpetrated couple or
centuries ago, by genealogists in the pay
of the Earl OF Denbigh, of the time, the
present earl is not particularly well Off
and cndeavors to supplement his resources
by a retail wine business, which does not
altogether accord with his Austrian pre-
tensions.
Were the latter for one moment to be
admitted, he would have right to the
Austrian throne, since the senior branch OF
the house of Hapsburg became extinct with
the death of the father OF Empress Maria
Theresa, who left only that daughter
married to Duke Charles of Lorraine.
Lord Denbigh pretends to be descended
from a younger brother Of the founder OF
the house of Hapsburg, which younger
brother, however, is shown by German
documents of the most irrefutable char
acter to have died childless. Lord Den
bigh would do far better to number among
his ancestors the great author, Fielding,
the immortal writer of tom Jones'"

The Prince and Princess Of Wales must
now bitterly regret their enthusiastic and
energetic backing of Miss Kate Marsden of
the Red Cross Society, who has Just been
compelled to withdraw the suit of damages
which she had instituted against the London
Times for publishing an article charging her
with dishonesty. The prince had presented
her to the queen, and she had lunchcd with
her majesty at Windsor, dined at Marlbor-
ough house and was furnished with all sorts
OF valuable letters of introduction by the
prince and princess, notably to the widowed
czarina, who received Miss Marsden in the
most charming manner at st. Petersburg,
and conferred upon her several decorations
and orders.
This Is not the first time that the Prince
and Princess OF Wales have made such
blunders, which are q the enioreunexcusable
on the part Of the prince, since heis credited

Count Leopoldina who has just arrived in
Paris, may boa st of being one OF the few men
who has lived TO return from that terrible
penal colony of Brazil under the equator
on the upper Amazon, nearly 1000 miles
from the mouth OF the river, and having now
reached France in safety will doubtless
endeavor to oblterate from his mind the
moral and physical torture undergone in that
horrible South American Siberia.
In spite OF his title, he is an Englishman
by birth, his real name being Henry
Lowndes, and he commenced life as n clerk
in Il mercantile office in Paris. He gradu-
ally rose to be one OF the wealthiest men in
Brazil, and after being created Count Leo
poldina by the late King OF Portugal, and
having it confirmed by Dom Pedro. acted
for many years as the financial agent in
Europe of the old emperor.
When the present republican government
surrendered the private property OF the ex-
imperial family 1t was be who received 1t on
their behalf and as their representative,
and il was owing 10 his connection with the
former reigning house that few months
later he was arrested at Rio and sentenced
as political traitor to penal servitude for
life on the upper Amazon.
Fortunately for him, the government now
in power proved more amenable to rea-
son, Ind lie has been set at liberty aud left
to enjoy that part of his fortu ne which he
had been prudent enough TO invest in Eu
rope. The count is a very well known and
popular man, and possesses many friends
in this country who will doubtless be
glad to learn of his return to civilization
from what was little else than a living
death.

There was also the case of young Hof-
MANN now serving a long term of penal
servitude in Austria has swindler, but
who spent several seasons in London and
stood so high in the good g-aces OF the
Prince and Princess of Wales that he was
taken everywhere by them, introduced to
houses and clubs and furnished by the
prince with warm letters of Introduction
to foreign courts and to British ambassadors
abroad. Yet instead of being the nephew of
Baron Hoffman,, the imperial minister of
finance, as hesucceeded inmaking the prince
believe he was, tue man turned out TO be
nothing more nor less than an exconvict
and a professional swindler.
The trouble with the Prince and Princess
of Wales is that they get up such wild
enthusiasms about people that they do not
stop to investigate the antecedents of their
whilom proteges. So well is this known on
the continent that the prince has achieved
an unenviable reputation as having always
in his train one or more persons OF doubt

OUR GOODS DISCREDlTED
Reports by American ConsuIs in Various
Foreign Countries
Oriental Newspapers Which Never Neglect an
Opportunity to Disparage Americans
and American Products

ut is impossible Essays the Philadel-
phia Ledger, "in the space of single
article. to set forth all the obstacles that
American manufacturers must strive to
overcome in seeking the markets of the
world. The attempt has peen made only
to indicate those which are to be found in
their own business methods. These de-
ficiencies can be remedied, and must be
remedied, before they undertake to face
the opposition which their foreign COM
petitors will promptly bring to bear.
Already the efforts made to discredit
American food products have been ex-
tended to our manufactured goods. Con-
sui Kemmler of Horgen reports that
Swiss man ufactureres of leather are
claiming that the quality of American
feathers, which are being exported into
Switzerland IN considerable quantities, is
inferior to that OF the Swiss product. al
though vne of the owners of large Swiss
tannery admitted to him that the best
quality of American hemlock ed
leather was equal to the best Swiss leath-
er OF the same grade. Consul Fowler OF
Ningpo, China, in recent advices to the
state department., calls attention to q
cunning attempt to injure American can
ned meats in the Oriental markets. A
Shanghai newspaper. it seems, published
an article from the Medical Press and
Circular to the effect that very harrow
ing details had been received concern
ing the preparation and packing of meat
at Chicago for export The Medical Press
pretends to have seen it stated, 'on what
appears to be good authority, that the
precaution enjoined with the object of
preventing the use OF flesh from animals
suffering from actinomycosis. that newly
discovered and terrible fungoid disease,
are systematically set at naught by un-
scrupulous persons. Even more
revolving are the details of the prepara-
ton OF extracts of beef. which are offered

cellars. Tne tanks of this extraUt of filth

are from time to time Withdrawn before
the delicious and nourlshing compound
IS ladled into the dainty jars aforesaid.
Such abslrdlS exaggerated statements
would seem to bear their refutation on
their face, but, unfortunately, consumers
are quick to take alarm at the least sus-
picion of impurlty in food products, and
nothing is easier than to arouse public
prejudice on this point. The animus OF
such articles. says Consul Fowler SIS
not hard to divine. for it is we'll known
that the market for American canned
meats. etc.. is a large and constantly in
creasing one in the Orient, and conse-
quently the demand for the products of
Europe is fast diminishing. The news
papers of the whole east are entirely in
the hands of the English. and they never
let an opportunity pass whereby they can
make some disparaging remarks upon
America, Americans and American pro.
