whale, carrying to it by the Gulf Stream the sea-nettles, which it cannot go for itself." 1 thought if any New York ship owner was present he would wonder if it was the same beneficent hand that had caijried the Admiral in the same direction. T- ire were very few peculiarities in his sfl fich, except his cockney-like addition oft •• r" in " Alabamar" and " idear ;" also y_s American pronunciation of " calmly," as if it were spelt " kemly," end of" v" as if it were "oo"—we threw a shot astern which "indooced the merchant-man to heave-to."

His lecture was an attempt to vindicate the career of the Alkbama on historical grounds. He compared the Confederate struggle against the North to the struggle of the American colonies against Britain, and said that though the one had succeeded and the other failed, this made no difference in the prior rights of belligerency. If George Washington's commission was valid, so was Robert .E. Lee's ; if Lee's was valid, so was the Alabama's.

He then drew a parallel between him self and Paul Jones, the American com mander who figured so prominently in the American War of Independence. He said that Jones had destroyed many of his prizes, and with far less excuse than he had, for Jones had always open ports into which he could have carried his prizes for adjudication, whereas the Alabama was a homeless wanderer, with ail the ports of the world shut against her. He had, therefore, done from necessity what Jones had so often done from choice. "And yet, he said, " the Yankees, who call Jones a hero, call me a pirate ! It is the old story about the bull goring the wrong ox. What Jones destroyed was British com merce ; what I destroyed was Yankee commerce. That makes the difference."

At the close of his lecture he described with great eloquence of language the beautiful Sunday morning when lie sailed his ship from the Azores oub upon the high seas ; and when for the first time the Confederate flag waved from her peak, and the name was given her that was soon to be written in lurid fires upon the ocean before the eyes of an astonished TFOl'ld.

" I was at her baptism," he said ; " 1 was at her burial. Two years had passed. Again it was a Sunday—the 19th of June—this was her funeral morning." He described his fight with the Keacsage, and its results. " Many," he said, with a touch of pathos, " many went down with the ship that day who had stood with bared heads at her christening on that Sunday morning two years before."

And now for a moment the Admiral's voice deepened, his dark eyes kindled with fire, as he added, "No enemy's foot ever polluted her deck. No splinter of her hull, no shred of her flag, remains as a trophy in the hands of her enemy ! "

This passage, in newspaper phrase, "brought down the house."

I had many thoughts that ni^ht as I sat listening to Semmes. Had the South achieved her independence, this man, who (all honor to him) is now struggling by means of these lectures to earn an honest livelihood, would have been one of the most important and prominent men in the Dis-United States of America to-day. Success would have thrown out of sight the unpleasant fact in the history of the ship, and Admiral Semmes would have been handed down to the admiration of posterity as the great captain who, with one ship, and in a few months, swept the, American flag from the ocean. But the South fell, and Semmes (not Admiral at all) is called a pirate. Here is some food for thought, if not some ground for charity.
