fashionable life in these *days-is the
constant and disgusting eating-vul
gar gluttony. 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.

disembark and go by rail to Lon

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

BRAVE DECATUR.
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
