"Not a mau must move. 1 said, and il was only owing lo the splendid dis eipline of the men thal we were tod all killed as I ?ie shells rained over tis and minutes became hours ul" sus pense. The men's mouths grew parched, but wc must lie them till daylight, 1 told them. Now and again one or another ot' thc men lying with his face glued to thc deck and won dering whether thc next shell would not come our way, would say: 'Hadn't wc better drop oil now. sir?' but I said wait till daylight. ''lt would have been impossible to get thc catamaran any where hut to the shoie where thc soldiers stood shoot ing, and I hoped that by daylight wc might he recognized and saved. The trraml old Merrimac kept sinking. I wanted to go forward und sec the dam age done there where nearly all the lire was directed, hut one man said that if I rose it would draw all thc lire on thc rest, so I lay motionless. Lt was splendid thc way these men behaved. Tho lire of the soldiers, the batteries and thc Vizcaya was awful. When thc water came upon thc Merrimac's decks the catamaran floated amid thc wreckage, but was still made fast to the boom and wc caught hold of the edge and cluug on, our heads being above water. One man thought wc were safer right there, as it was light, tho firing had ceased, except that di rected at thc New York's launch, and I feared Ensign Cowell and his men had boen killed. "A ?Spanish launch came toward the Merrimac. Wc agreed to capture her and run. .J list as she came close tin Spaniards saw us and half a dozen ma rines jumped up and pointed their ri fles at our heatls. 'Is there any oiliccr in that boat lo receive a surrender of prisoners of war".' I shouted. An ?dd man leaned <>\\\. unth r the awning and waved his hand. lt was Admiral Ocrvcra. The marines lowered their rifles anti we were helped into the launch. "Then wc were put in cells in Mor ro ('astir. li wa- a :.rraiid sight a few days later to see the bombard men t. thc shells st l iking and bursting around 101 Morro.

"They did stand to their guns, and furnished au unparalleled example, which our focmcn at Manila have just emulated, by firing their last broad side as thc ship sank with them in Hampton Roads.

Haid-II emf eil Woman. Word comes from thc scientists and ! physicians that Women are gradually becoming thc equals of men in yet another direction; that we arc, in short, moro prone to baldheadedness : than we used to be. Thc rapture of thc radicals at such good news may well be imagined, li ut few women have hitherto enjoyed tho prerogative of losing their hair to any marked degree, and although not so much advertised as some other defects of thc sex, we may bc sure that it has been keenly felt. That being buid hcaded was an attribute which thc privilcdgcd sex would themselves just as Heve forego had nothing to do with the case, lt was the general principle, not its particular application to the front row at the theatre, that allured. Your rampant woman's right s ter cares not whether a distinction between the sexes he Welcome Ol' nthoi'ivisc; wliit S.ie wants is to have men and wemen on the same plane. Bald heads may not intrinsically bc acceptable, hui men. ,.- ,t rule, become bald-li ended, while women, as a rule, du not; there fore, bald heads are to he desired. Such is the logic of the woman's riglitstcr, and the cogent thing about it is that it is not strikingly different from the logie of all women. The fact that men may wear their hair short, while women must wear it long, has long rankled in the hearts of the ram pants. Most women radicals gene rally cut thc Cordial, knot, so cun ningly tied by custom, hy cutting their hair. ' Long-haired men and short-haired women has long . JD the accepted way of describing a company of cranks. In such a case, to bc sure, the pendu lum had swung so far as to result in nothing more than a reversal of normal conditions, but, whatever its aberra tion, they were always more signifi cant of thc vevolt among women than among men. It is doubtful if any man was ever fool enough to wear his hair lom; unless some greater fool of a woman incited him thereto, lt ut merely cutting her hair short and per suading men to leave theirs uncut is a thing easy for womaa to accomplish. What she could not do was to induce nature to let up with regard to her scheme of suffering men to become bald, while women did not. Ono reason for men losing their hair more readily than women is said to be he- j ! cause they wear their hats more, which, if true, probably accounts for j ' thc tenacity with which tho club i woman clines to her headgear. If bonnet wearing will bring about, thc , desired hirsute equality, then bonnet ! wearing it shall be, and. no matter how naturally distasteful th'- process.
