ALABAMA HERE.



The Confederate warship Alabama
passed around Cape Horn in 1861. She
sailed 10 Japan. and from there TO the
Ladrone Islands. Hearing that a
whale ship was near the Hawaiian
Islands she sailed for Hilo. and reached
that port about December 10. 1852
After cruising of that port several
days she heard that whaleship had
sailed. for Honolulu. This was early
in January. 1868. As the Alabama was
short OF coal. she sailed for this port
and discovered that the whalcr was in
the MolOkai channel. On arriving AZ
Honolulu. one of the Alabama officers
applied for coal. but IL was refused.
Capt. Semmes then called on the King
kamehameha ". and demanded coal.
for which he offered to pay cash. The
King consented finally to- permit him
TO take il. as the Alabama was an
a Aed vessel. Three hundred tons

valuable. Speaking a vessel al sea.

Chesterfield SuperfciaIity.

Chesterfield's s idea Of excellence was
essentially superficial, for his praise Of
solid requirement and genuine princi-
pie is always coupled with the assertion
of their entire inutility if unaccompa-
MED by grace, external polish and an
agreeable manifestation. He omits all
consideration OF their intrinsic worth
and absolute dignity their value TO the
individual, according to him, is wholly
proportioned TO his skill in using them
IN a social form.
In one of his earlier letters to Philip
Stanhope he writes: "What an advan
tage has graceful speaker with gen
teel motions, a handsome figure, over
one who shall speak full as much good
sense, but who is destitute of these or
naments. In business how prevalent are
the graces, how detrimental is the want
of them! If you should not acquire
manners, all the rest will be of little
use TO you. By manners 1 mean engag-
ing, insinuating, shining manners, a
distinguished politeness, an almost ir-
resistible address. superior graceful
ness in all you say and do" He would
have manners overlay individuality and
goes so far as to declare that a soldier
is brute a scholar, pedant and a
philosopher, cynic without good breed

fortune of any place, small or great, to be
favored with. This was given by Mr. and
Mrs. E. A. Couturier of New York city.
They are both musicians of the first rank
Mr.. Couturier is the successful leader OF
the famous Gilmore Band, and though
only twenty-eight years Of age, has risen
to that position by his recognized merit
as musician and by his skill as a musi-
cal director. What Hercules, in fable,
did in claiming the ears of the people
with the golden chains he carried in his
mouth, Mr.. Couturier does in fact with the
silvery chords which issues as by magic
from the mouth OF his favorite instru-
ment-the cornet. Mrs. Couturier is the
daughter OF veteran William Gavitt OF
this place, and is soprano singer in one
of the leading churches in New York,
and has voice of rare compass and rich
ness. Not little interest was stirred by
her appearance on this occasion, as the
large and responsive audience clearly
proved. The entertainment was varied
with piano solos and Duets by we'll chosen
local talent, and with an admirable rem
derirg of Twelve Years of Child Life >
by Miss Bessie Mowry. This entertain
ment was generously given under the
auspices of the young people OF the Bap-
