FIGHTING JIM" JOUETT

His Daring Exploit at Galveston HAIR
Dor In 1861.
Rear Admiral James E. Jouett, who
died during the past year, was one of
generation of sea fighters that are
rapidly decreasing, says the New York
Evening Post. Fighting Jim Jouett
of the American Navy" as he was pop
ularly known among naval men, had
long and distinguished career and was
one Of the most popular men in the
service. He entered the navy in 1871
and passed through the successive
grades Of the service to the outbreak
of the civil war, when he first saw ac-
tive service as lieutenant on board
the United States frigate Santee.
Lieutenant Jouett's first daring ex-
plot took place on the night of Nov. Z,
1861. The Santee was lying off Gal
weston, Tex, and Jouett asked per-
mission to enter the harbor for the
purpose of destroying the steamer Gen
eral Rush, which was being fitted as
war vessel by the Confederates, and
the Royal Yacht, small frigate,
mounting one 80 pound gun. Leaving
the Santee a few minutes before mid
night with forty men in two launches,
Lieutenant Jouett pulled boldly into
the harbor. The General Rush was
moored at a wharf seven miles away,
and he had to pass the Royal Yacht to
reach the vessel which he first wished
to capture.
All went well, and success seemed as
sured when Lieutenant Jouett's boat
grounded and was run into by the Sec
ond launch. The noise of the collision
aroused the crew of the Royal Yacht,
who Immediately opened fire. Jouett
saw that he could not reach the Cen
eral Rush and at once determined to
board the Royal Yacht Twice were
the boats hailed, but the little party
paid no heed. The boats came along
side the frigate, and Carter, Jouett's
chief gunner, sent shot from a IL
pound howitzer through the side of the
vessel at the water line and then
boarded her. The recoil of the gun
oCul TIC DuCh IL lew OOdt
lengths, leaving Carter alone to face
the enemy
With some difficulty Jouett got the
launch alongside again and went to
his gunner's rescue. He barely reached
the deck of the royal yacht when he
was wounded in the arm and lung by
bayonet dashed to pole in the hands
of Confederate. Drawing his sword,
the lieutenant felled his assailant and
jumped into the fight. The retreat was
sounded twice, but Jouetts fighting
blood was up, and he would not leave.
When finally he did go, the crew of
the Royal Yacht went with him as his
prisoners. After an exciting pull back
the two launches reached the Santee,
the men being in state of exhaustion.
The Royal Yacht was totally destroyed.
For this action Jouett was ordered to
proceed to Washington, so that he
might "be given command worthy of
his gallantry."
During the war Admiral Jouett cap
tured a number of blockade runners,
among them being the Kate Dale, Isa-
bella and Susannah, three vessels
which were afterward sent to northern
ports and profitably sold. In 1860 he
aided in the capture of several slavers,
which were taken to Key West.

CIVIL WAR DEsERTIONs.
War Department Data FIX the Num-
Der at About 117,247 Soldiers.

War Department Data FIX the Num-
Der at About lit ,247 Soldiers.
The actual number of assertions
from the United States army during
the late civil war is unknown, but it
has been estimated by the record and
pension Office, from the best data OBJ
tainable that the number of actual
deserters at large at the close of the
war (making due allowance for those
incorrectly reported as deserters) was
117,247.
Many charges of desertion have been
removed by the war department on
the ground of manifest error in the
record under the acts Of July 5, 1884;
May II, 1886, and March 2, 1889, and
the acts amendatory thereof. No rec
ord has been kept showing the number
of cases in which the charge of deser-
ton has been removed by the war de-
partment, and it would be impossible
to determine that number, even APP
proximately. without examining the
records of the department from the
war period to the present time.

Memorial Day.


Go. deck the graves of your dead once
more,
The heroes who died for you,
With incense sweet as the vernal shower
And grateful fragrance of May day flower
And love that distils like the dew.
Go, solemnly stand on the peaceful dust;
Let the drum be muffied and soft.
For spirits unseen of a glorious host
May be mixing your throng; let your
strains be lost
In the music they bring from aloft.
Go. not with a pomp that is worldly and
vain
And the noise of an idle throng,
But march to the time of a minor strain
And with bated breath and low refrain
As you bear your garlands along.
For a patriots grave is a sacred shrine
Where the weary found rest at last.
The moment is full of a thought divine,
And immortal things with your wreaths
entwine
But the martial eclat is past.
Go. kneel on the consecrated ground
And scatter the sod with flowers,
For heart once brave rests under each
mound
OF man that was loyal and faithful
found
TO the nag Of his country and ours.
Go. stand with uncovered and reverent
head
Till your patriot fire revives,
And ponder the deeds OF your soldier dead
Till the spirit that hallows their lowly bed
Shall entemple itself IN your lives
Yes, kneel on the turf that is green again,
Ger the graves that enshrine your own.
And lay fair wreath on the cherished
mound
with devotion as fair. living all the year
round,
Living still through the years that have
down,
