Six rich heavy, lux urious, greasy, unwholesome meals a day-to say nothing of "marmalardy" and other things that are handed on deck. Last night a large portion of the promenade deck on one side of the steamer, was canvassed in and pro fusedly decorated with flags, for a -ball. And during this ball we saw much heavy and ugly dancing-ab solutely unpleasant to a man accus tomed to the supreme lightness, grace and elegance of our Southern young people. Wednesday morning, May 3.-to day about 2 p. m. we are to reach Plymouth, at the entrance of the English Channel, and six hours later Cherbourg, on the French coast, some fifty miles from Paris. At Ply mouth many of our passengers will disembark and go by rail to Lon don. At Cherbourg a still 1arger number will leave the steamer and go by rail to Paris and other con tinental points. The many who are going direct to Hamburg and other North German cities will have an other twenty-four hours on t-he "Deutschland." Last night, the night before the general parting begins, as is the custom on all ocean steamers "the Captain's dinner" was given. There is no church in Charleston we mean it, literally-that could not easily be set down in the dining s& loon of the "Deutschland." It is sup ported by one hundred shining brass columns, and rises above into an immense and lofty dome, painted, frescoed and gilded in the highest style of modern art. This great hall, last night, its tables, its walls, its dome, was decorated to the very last degree of beauty, grace and aesthe ticism, and "the Captain's dinner" was royally gay, magnificent and fan tastic affair. Ladies and gentlemen were in full evening dress, and the waves of mirth and revelry ran very high and were crested with gold and silver and diamonds. The 250 waiters and stewards of the great ship, ir brilliant and fantastic uniforms, ex ecuted a wonderful march and some marvellous evolutions through all the endless aisles. The favors anf souve nir cards were exquisitely beautiful and in the utmost profusion. And the splendid orchestra trumpeted and clashed out the national airs of Ger many, Austria and America, includ ing several times "Dixie." At "The Watch on the Rhine," "The Stat Spangled Banner" and "Dixie," all he goo insipred people rose to their feet and stood. It is a .trange fact -or is it strange?-that our little short ra:tling "Dixie brings fork t seems to us-the whole wvorld ovn the wildest, longest. lovingest, most ntanousn applause?

The Story of His Fierce Attack on a Tripolitan Vessel. Gardner W. Allen in his book, "Our Navy and the Barbary Corsairs," re tells the story of how old Commodore Stephen Decatur, then a lieutenant in the United States navy, attacked a Tripolitan vessel. The incident oc curred in 1804, whn Preble was lying off Tripoli. Young Decatur had been told that the captain of this vessel had treacherously murdered his brother, John Decatur, after he had surrender ed to him. Mr. Allen writes: "He ran alongside and at once boarded. with Macdonough and the remnant of h.is crew. Decatur singled out the cap tain, a man of great size and strength, and attacked him furiously. The Tri politan made a thrust with his board ing pike, and in attempting to parry the blow Decatur's cutlass was broken off at the hilt, leaving him for the mo ment unarmed. Another thrust of the pike wounded him in the arm. Deca tur seized the weapon, w-enche~d it away and grappled with his antagon ist. Afiter a short struggle they fell to the deck, with Decatur on top. "Meanwhile the two crews were fighting furiously about their leaders, and a Tripolitan aimed a blow at De catur's head with his scimitar, when a seaman named Daniel Frazier, hav ing both arms disabled by wounds, in terposed his head and received the blow, which laid open the scalp. The Tripolitan captain, being more pow erful than Decatur, soon turned him underneath and, holding 'him down with his left hand, drew a knife and was about to plunge it into his breast. "Decatur seized the uplifted arm with his left hand, while he managed to get his right into -his pocket, where he had a pistol. Giving it the proper direction, he fire'd through the pocket. The giant relaxed his h-old and fell dead. Having lost seventeen kifled, including their leader, the seven sur viving Tripolitans. four of whom were wounded, soon gave up the fight A woman makes such plans for rlbe unexpected that she would put eni openwork stockings to go down a well.
