II all the ships have mt sea
Should come a-sailing home to me
All, well, the harbor could not hold
One-half the sails that there would be
II all my ships came home from sea.
II half the ships have ut sea
Should come a-sailing home to me
All, well, 1 should have wealth as great
AS any king who sits in state;
So rich the treasur there would be
In half my ships now out ut sea.
II Just one ship have a1sea
Should come a-sailng home to me-
All, well, the storm cloud then might frown
For II the others all went down,
So rich, so proud, so glad Id be,
II that one ship came home to me-,
II that one ship went down Mt sea
And all the others came to me-
Weighted with wealth untold,
The poorest soul on earth I'd bc
II that one ship came not to me.
Oh, skies be calm oh. winds blow free
Blow all my ships safe home to me:
But II thou sendest home q wreck,
To nevermore come sailing back,
Send any. all that skim the sea.
But send my love ship home to me.

Under this heading the following
article was few days since clipped
from an exchangc-whicH one we re-
gret cannpt now be recalled, as the
States endcaycrs to be very conserva-
tive In. the matter of credits:
"In 1854 it was General Alger's for.
tunc-he was then Colonel Of Michi-
gan cavalry regiment, the highest
command he ever held-to be-. placed
under General Merritt, then com:
mandihe part Of the forces operat-
ing in Virginia. 1t is charged that
Alger showed signs Of cowardice in
front Of the enemy and deserted his
command. Oficisl docdmehts are ON
file in the War Department to prove
it-that Alger left his regiment with
out permission, and Willie pretending
to be sick was hustling about Wash
ington: that he had no hospital rec,
ord, and that in the morning reports
Of his regiment he was placed on the
list as absent without leave. ).
"The brigade commander recon-
mended that he bsdkmlssed FROM the
service. The next higher commander,
who happened to be General Merritt.
endorsed tlc rccommcndationatd for
warded it to General Sheridan. He
Endorsed it and forwarded ii to tho
War Department. n.o,
"Algcr heard Of this, and Senator
Zach" Chandler, OF Michigan. being
his friend, stopped the order for his
dismiss and obtained leave for him
to resign. .4 g..,.
"rhat is the close of Alger's mill,
try record, except that, through tho:
same influences, he afterwards, pro-
cured brevet commissions as brigadier
and major general.
Merritt advanced in the tegular
army by merit and seniority, and Is
now the ranking major general next
to Miles. General Merritt was enti,
tied to the command Of the army last
year during the absence OF the coz
comb Miles, but Alger, through petty
spite, assumed command by virtue of
his office as Secretary Of Wat"

the sailor boys had smoked and chewed
ever since they were little fellows, ant
that through storm and tempest and
