Story of the Hrilliant Career of the Noted Confederate Iron-Clad. BY J. R. ECrCiLESTON, Late Lieutenant on the Merrimac. When the Federals abandoned the navy yard at Norfollc, in 1661, they set lire to the vessels lying there in ordinary. Among these was the Mer rimac, one of a class of vessels which, when they were built, were consider ed the finest specimens of naval archi tecture afloat. On the occasion in question the Merrimac was burned to the water-line. Her machinery re mained intact and it was determined by the Confederate authorities to make of what remained of her an iron clad ram that might give some trouble to the enemy's vessels lying in the waters of Virginia. A struc ture of oak, sloping like the roof of a house, was built upon the old hulk and this woodwork was covered with plates of wrought iron two inches thick. The ends of these plates, where they rested on the edge of the old hulk, extended about a foot under water. Below that line the vessel was vulnerable as she had ever been. The rudder chains, teo, were, perfectly un protected, lying exposed on the "fan tail," or that portion of the hull which extended out abaft the shield. The wheel was under the forward part of the shield and the pilot was protected by a huge hollow cone of cast iron, perforated with holes for him to see through. The battery of the Merri mac consisted of ten Dahlgren guns: One 11-inch, pointing forward and another aft, and eight 9-inch guns .on the sides. THE MERRIMAC'S CREW. Our crew was made up in a great measure of green countrymen detail ed from the different volunteer regi ments stationed about Norfolk, but there were some trained seamen among them. From the time of tak-! ing them in hand till' the day of go- ing into action, an interval of about ! two weeks, we uriiiea tnem inces santly at the guns of the receiving ship, the old frigate United States. On the forenoon of the Sth day of March 1 8G2, the Merrimac, or as she had been newly christened, the Virginia, cast off from the wharf at the navy yard and started on her trial trip. Wc steamed straight for Hampton Roads. Whatever was the design of our captain. Franklin Buchanau, he kent it to himself. Years afterwards I learned from Catesby Jones, our ex- ecutive officer, that he had been taken into the captaiu's confidence, but I am quite certain that no one else had. Wo all thought that we were making an ordinary trial trip. And yet we were rapidly approaching the enemy's vessels the Cumberland and Con gress frigates that lay at anchor off Newport's News. As a midshipman I had served in both vessels, the Cum berland, in which I had served briefly, being the first vessel I had ever board- ed. while the Congress had been my floating home for nearly three years. How natural they looked their boats at the swinging booms, the Congress wjh her wash clothes between the main and mizzeu. rigging. How many of the poor fellows who scrubbed their blue shirts on the deck that morning ever had need again of shirts or aught else after that day ! At last there is a sign of life on board the two frigates. Their swing ing booms go alongside; their boats are run to the davits; the Congress pipes down wash clothes, and now we hear the long-roll of aur own drum .aud fife calling us to quarters. There is no longer a doubt of our captain's intentions. He 'soon appears on the gun deck, makes a stirring appeal to the crew and then tiikes his station near the wheel. THE FIWHT BEGUN. I commanded the third division of guns and was stationed amidships of j shield. From that station my view of what was going on outside the ves sel was restricted to the gun port, and that was nearly filled by the gun. For a lime I could see only the rim of the horizon or the distant shore. But suddenly the side of a great ship, close aboard, came in view. I saw her but for a moment, for the smoke from her broadside of twenty-five guns, promptly answered by our own, soon enveloped her and us. A few mo ments of the thunder of battle, of sul phurious smoke, of the passing below of the wounded, and then there is a J thud as if the vessel had suddenly run aground. I here is cheering tor ward, and soon Flag Lieutenant Minor pass es aft and cries out : "We've sunk the Cumberland." The next time I saw of the Congress, she was aground with some of her sails set. We had taken up a raking position under her stern and a few shots from our broadside guns brought J down her flag. Lieutenant Miner was was sent in a ship's cutter to receive her surrender, and at the same time two tugs that had been improvised as gunboats ran alongside to take off the prisoners. The tugs were driven off by sharp-shooters on shore and Miner and one of his boat's crew were wound ed by musket balls fired out of the gun-deck ports of the Congress. Buch anan, then on the tipper deck, on top of the shield, shouted down the hatch way .- "Destroy that d d.ship! They are killing our men under a flag of truce!" Sadly we proceeded to obey the or der, for we believed that the firing on Minor was done without the knowl edge of the officers of the Congress. Nevertheless we resumed our firing, while officers on the poop deck of the doomed vessel were waving their white handkerchiefs. But we did not keep it up long, for it was appar ent that the Congress had already been set on fire by our hot shot. About this time Buchanan was borne below, wounded by a sharp-shooter on thore. "We have done a very good dajT's work." I remarked to Catesby Jones, as some time during the afternoon he paused at my division. "Yes," he replied, "but it isn't over. The Minnesota and St. Lawrence ar coming up from Fortress Monroe. " The vessels fired on us at long range, as with the approach of night we steamed over to Se well's Point to send on shore our dead and wounded. RAMMING THE MONITOR. With early dawn the next day we saw the St. Lawrence back under the guns of Fortress Monroe, the Minne sota apparently aground near the scene of yesterday's battle; and a curious-looking craft, which proved to be the Monitor, lying near her. We steamed over towards the Minne- . sota, and the Monitor boldly set forth to meet us half way. For hours and hours we bombarded each other without any apparent injury to eith er vessel. Seeing" that every pro jecticle that struck our strange ene my was shattered into fragments against her turret, I ordered my divi sion to ceast firing. Calling Catesby Jones' attention to my idle gun, he said: "Well, we're just about to try another plan. We are going to ram her.'" And we did. But for a misconception of what the momentum of the Merrimac could ac complish, it would have been all over with the Monitor. As it was, our engines were stopped just before we struck ner. it tney naa not ueen we would undoubtly have run her under. As it was, after that gentle push she never fired another shot at the Merrimac. Withdrawing entire ly out of our range she was a silent spectator for fully an hour of our practice at long range, with the Min nesota for a target. When we finely ceased firing and returned to Norfolk it was for the following reasons, as stited by Cap tain Jones to each of his division offi cers: "We can't get nearer the Min nesota than we are, for our draft is the same as hers, and we'll get aground if we try to get nearer. She is now apparently reduced to a mere wreck and I don't think she will ever get afloat again. Wre have done all that we can do, for the enemy's iron-clad keeps out of our range. Our ship is leaking, probably from the loss of her prow when she rammed the Cumber land, and our crew are tired out froml working their guns for nearly two days. I think we have fulfilled the mission on which we came and had better return," which accordingly we did, and the next day went in dock to get ready for another raid. WHAT HAD BEEN DONE. We had met and silenced upwards of 180 guns afloat, to say nothing of the shore batteries. It is safe to say that never before had 10 guns success fully encountered such odds. If what I have said be true the Northern ver sion of our encounter with the Moni tor is utterly false. And I am sus tained not only by all who served on board the Merrimac and the wooden vessels of our little squadron and the thonsands who viewed the battle from the neighboring shores, but also by the captain of the Minnesota. In his report to the department he says in effect that seeing the Monitor silenced and withdrawn from the battle and his own" vessel at the mercy of the Merrimac he had nearly completed his preparations for abandoning and burning the Minnesota, when, much to his joy, the Merrimac returned to Norfolk. It may be as well to add that in her encounter with the Moni tor the Merrimac did not sustain any material injury, while I think an in quiry into the reason for the with drawal of the Monitor will show that her turret would not turn after she had been rammed by the Merrimac. The last demonstration by the Mer rimac was against a Federal fleet of eight or ten vessels, the Monitor among them. They were bombarding Sewell's Point, under the eye, as we heard, of Mr. Lincoln himself, then on a visit to Fortress Monroe. . We steamed dpwn from Norfolk and of fered battle, when the whole fleet made haste to huddle under the guns Of the fortress. We sent in and cut out two transport brigs under their very noses, but the Monitor let slip the splendid opportunity of driving us baek to Norfolk a second time. We were much blamed by our own people for destroying the Merrimac when we did. After the evacuation of Norfolk by our land forces no oth er course remained to us. We could not go to sea nor up the James river. Unless the vessel had been destroyed her surrender would have been a mere question of time. With the enwuy in possession of Norfolk we would have been speedily starved into submission. Work for "Women. For the first time in the history of Charleston a call is made for a con siderable number of women and girls to be employed in the manufacturing industries, and the large class who have always found it so difficult to ob- tainremunerative occupation are now given an opportunity to work out their own independence in Charleston, as is done elsewhere. Although Charleston is behind oth er places in finding occupation for young women and girls, it is to be hoped that, how at a start has been made, this city will soon be as far ad vanced as more energetic neighbors. While Charleston, with a population of over 50,000, is without a manufact ory of any considerable size, Augus ta with less than 25,000 population has within the corporate limits or in the vicinity ten cotton mills with 130, 000 spindles, giving employment to 3, 000 hands , of whom over 2,000 are women and girls. These factories pay out in wages over $750,000 a year. This amount of money annual ly paid out in Charleston would in fuse new life into trade, would double the sales of King street, and add won derfully to the comforts and enjoy, ment of the large body of persons who are dependent on their own ex ertions. If instead of a whole family being dependent, as at present, on the work of one man, who may be idle for sev eral months in the summer, each member of the family, including the grown girls, could add to the week's expenses, how many light hearts there would be. This is what manu factures do for a place, and Charleston in time must come to it, if Charleston would prosper. The citT of Newark, N. J., one of the manufacturing towns of the North, shows, how manufactures build up the cities. Out of a popula tion of 130,000 over 41,000 are employ ed in manufactures of Various kinds. The wages paid out last year were ;$14, 784,383 and the value of the man ufactured product was $06,985,766. Philadelphia, the great manufactur ing city of this country, with a popu lation, of 840,000, has over 200,000 persons regularly employed at wages in the factories. A large proportion of those employed are women, and the value of the productions last year exceeded $400,000,000. During the last ten years 200,000 people have been added to the population, lj500 new miils and factories have been built, and the thirty square miles have been added to the built up area of the city. This example is before Charleston, and it is time to be stirring. In all of the South new mills and factories, of different kinds are springing up, and in cotton alone the increase has been from 300,000 spindles employing 11,500 people aud consuming 58,668; 620 pounds of cotton in 1800, to 714, 000 spindles, employing 22,228 peo ple and consuming 101,937,256 pounds of cotton in 1880. From this vast business Charleston as yet has derived . no benefit, and except in fertilizers has developed no great industry. It has been said that3outhern girls will not work and that they prefer idleness and dependence on others, but it is only necessary to look at Columbus or Augusta in Geora, or at Greenville-pr Spartanbui-g i this State, or wherever manufactures are established in the South, to prove the falsity of this charge. Charleston will be no exception to the rule now that favorable opportunities are given to the people. Netcs and Courier. 31 u sic Hath Charms, etc, .

As long as the female doctors were confined to one or two in the whole country, and those were only experi mental, we held our peace and did not complain ; but now that the col leges are engaged in producing female doctors as business, we must protest, and in so doing will give a few rea sons why female doctors will not prove a paying branch of industry. In the first place, if they doctor any body it must be women, and three fourths of the women would rather have a male doctor. Suppose these colleges turn out female doctors until there are as many of them as there are male doctors, what have they got to practice ? A man, if there was noth ing the matter with him, might ;call on a female doctor, but if he was sick as a horse (if a man is sick he is sick as a horse,) the last thing he would have around would be a female doc tor. And why ? Because when a man has a female around him he wants to feel well. He don't wapt to be bilious or feverish, with his mouth tasting like cheese, and his eyes blood shot, when the female is looking him over and taking account of stock. Of course, these female doctors are young and good looking, and if one of them came into a sick room where a man was in bed, and he had chills, and was as cold as a wedge, and should sit up close to the side of the bed and take hold of his hand, his pulse would run up to a hundred and fifty, and she would prescribe for a fever when he had chillblains. Oh, you can't fool us On female doctors. A man who has been sick, and had male doctors, knows just how much he would like to have a female doctor come tripping in and throw her furlined cloak over a chair, take off her hat and gloves and throw them on a lounge, and come up to the bed with a pair of ma rine blue eyes, with a twinkle in the corner, and look him in the wild, changeable eyes, and ask him to run out his tongue. Suppose he knew his tongue was coated so it looked like a yellow Turkish towel, do you suppose he would want to run out over five or six inches of the lower part of it, and let that female doctor put her finger on it to see how furred it wai ? Not much. He would put that tongue in to his cheek, and wouldn't let her see it for twenty-five cents admission. We have all seen doctors put their hands under the bed clothes and feel of a man's feet to see if they were cold. If a female doctor should do that it would give a man cramp in the legs. A male doctor can put his hands on a man's stomach, and liver and lungs, and ask him if he feels any pain tnere, dux; n a icmaie aoctor should dothe same thing, it would make a man sick, and he would want to get up and kick himself for employ- J ing a female doctor. Oh, there is no use talking, it would kill a man. Another contingency. Now, sup pose a man has heart disease, and a female doctor should want to listen to the beating of his heart. She would lay her left ear on his left breast, so her eyes and rosebud mouth would be looking right in his face, and her wavy hair would be scattered all around there, getting tangled in the buttons of his night shirt. Don't you suppose his heart would get in about twenty extra beats to the minute ? You bet ! And she would smile we will bet $10 that she would smile and show her pretty teeth, and her ripe lips would be working as though she were counting the beats, and he would think she was trying to whisper to him, and well, what would he be do ing all this time ? If he was net dead yet, which would be a wonder, his left hand would brush the hair away from her temple and kind of stay there to keep the hair away, and his right hand would get sort of nervous and move around to the back of her head, and when she sounded the beats a few minutes and was raising her head he would draw the head up to him and kiss her once for luck, if he was as bilious as a Jersay swamp an gel, and have her charge it in the bill. And then a reaction would set in and he would be as weak as a cat, and she would have to fan him and rub his head till he got over being nervous, and then make put his prescription after he got asleep. -No ; all of a man's symptoms change when a female doc tor is practicing on him, and she would kill him dead : Our Ten Largest Cities.

HOW AND WHAT THK TWO MONTHS EAT AJfD TALK ABOUT. In response to an invitation 'from Mr. J. R. Smith, a Star rejorter took breakfast with Millie Chriatine, the double -headed girl, yesterday morn ing. Tais interesting young lady, who possesses two heads, four arms, four feet, sings duetK, waltzes, polkiis and boasts of several other accom plishments, has a suite of twins at No. 51 East Ninth street. When the reporter arrived all was in readiness for the morning meal. Five persons comprised the party. "The weather is exceedingly oppressive." was the greeting of the right side of the double-headed girl, as she shook the right hand of the scribe with two of her four hands. The left side smiled serenely and fanned itself vigorously with the disengaged hand. There was a great deal said at tho table, but the guest was there for the purpose of taking breakfast with Millie Christine, and omittod to make a note of tlie conversation. The Nightingale occu pied one entire side of the table, and while one of her pair of eyes was in tent upon gazing on the well-spread table the other pair was looking out of the window with a dreamy ex pression. Two plates were well filled with edibles and the work of destruc tion was begun. One half of the lady had an especial fondness fur fried chicken and toast, while the other would partake of nothing but porter house steak and fried potatoes. In the line of liquids one-half drankaeed milk to the other's coffee, aud two napkins were demanded and freely used. Somehow or other, there was time found for talking toward the close of the meal, and the Nightingale spoke freely and intelligently upon a number of interesting topics. At times one head would make an asser tion which its companion could not entertain, and then an interesting and animated discussion would fol low. Happily, these arguments were amicably adjusted, and breakfast was finished in time for the double-headed lady to go to Bunnell's Museum for the midday exhibition. Ncic York Star. "Papa, Don't Bury Me .Deep." In the springof 1869, a little girl died , of consumption in Frederick City, aged 8 years aud 3 months. A few days before she died she called her father to her bedside and said: "Papa, when I die don't bury me deep not more than so deep," hold ing up her tender and emaciated arm and measuring from her shoulder out.' "Oh, it is so hard to be put down so deep in the cold, damp ground, and please don't place any marble slab oil my grave, it will be so dark under it; and it will press so heavy upon my little breast. Sod my grave nicelv. and plant a tree at its head, so that the wild birds can gather in its branches and sing for me." After a pause she continued, "But it seems to me I would rather have our own birds to sing for me than tho wild birds. Couldn't you let brother Willie and sister Emma bring our cage of. lit tle birds out to the cemetery every Sunday morning and leave them to sing for me all day ( When you are all at church in town it won't seem so lonesome. out by myself." A few days after this Anna died, and her affectionate parent did everything she requested, She was buried shallow, the grave nicely sodded and a tree planted at its head. And still every Sunday morning Willie and Emma can be seen going out to the cemetery with their cage of little birds to Anna's grave. Stonewall Jackson's Death. Mr. D. W. Busick, of this county, who since the war has been Register of Deeds, was one of the soldiers that started with the litter that bore Gen. Jackson off the field that fearful night at Chancellorsville. As a historical incident from so worthy a source Mr. Busiok's version of the affair is worth giving. He; says that Jackson was not snot by-, his own men. He was lying that night by the road down which the yankees were sweeping with canister and minnie when Gen. Jackson crossed the road and was shot. His aid called out, and Busick was one of the men that ran to him. He carried one corner of the litter as they went through the woods, where the men were lj'ing so thick that he stepped on a man's leg and the fellow pulling his leg away tripped him up and he fell, another soldier springing up and taking his place at the litteiv They evidently thought he was shot, and history so has it, that one of the men at the litter wac shot down. But not so. Mr. Busick was that man. In his opinion that Jackson was not shot by his own men he is borne out by many other old soldiers who were present. Mr. Robertson, near Pel ham, in Caswell county, was lying on that road and had his gun barrel bent by a shot from the same charge that swept the road just about the time that Jackson was killed. He sprang into the woods. lteidsville Times. Pa rick responded to an advertise ment of "An Anierjean wanted as eoachnian." 4 'Are you an American?" asked the gentleman. "Oi am, sur," answered Patrick' J. "Where" were you. bom ?" "Iu Oirejandi sur, County Cork." "Comity Cork, eh ?" mused the gentleman; "how js that you ard an American when you were born in Ireland ?" 7,Faix, sur," said Patrick.

I despise a stingy m.m, I don't se 1 how it's Kssille .for a man to die ! worth five million dollars or ten mil J lion di liars in a city fojl of want. when he meets almost every day t he withered, hands of begtrary and thv white lip of famine. How, a mn can withstand all that and hold in hi hands twenty million dollars or thir ty million dollars is past eompivhen-. siou. I do not so how hof can do it. I should not think that lnf 'could 'o it any more than ho could keep a pile of lumber when hum'rods of thous ands were drowning in the sea. Do you know tluat I have known n en who would irust their wives utli their hearts ajid homs, and not their pocket book not with a dollar. -When I see a man of that' kind. I al ways think he know what is most valuable. Think f making your vtifo' a beggar. Think, of her asking yod every day for a dolh;r or two or to humbly bog f r fifty cents. "What did you do with "that two d"ll trs I gave you.'" Think of her lining afraid of you. Wh'iit kind:of children do you expect to have with a beggar and a coward tor a mother!' I tell you if you havebiTt a dollar in the world, and you havje got to. spend it, spend it like a king1; spend it as though you thought it were a dry leaf, and you were the owner of unbounded forests. That's the way to spend it. 1 had rather be a beggar and spejid my last j dollar like a king, than be, a king and. spend my: money like a beggar. If it's got to go, let it go. Get the best you can for vour family and look as well as you can yourself. When you used to go courting how nice you looked! Ah, your eye was bright,, your step was light, ami you just put' on the best you could. Do. you know that it is insufferable egotism iu you to suppose that a woman is goVng to love always, looking a had an you can. Think of it! Any woman on earth will bo true to you forever hen you do your level-bent. , How ComleiiHod Milk i Made. The manufacture of ioinleusod milk 1 is thus described in the. Scientific American : When the .milk it; brought ' into the factory it is carefully at rain ed, placed in cans or pails,-which are put into a tank of water kept hot by steam coils. When hot it is -trans ferred to larger steam heated Vessels and quickly brought to a hoi!. This preliminary heating Mini boding h;uc for its objects the expulsion of the gases of the milk, which would cause it to foam in tho vacuum-pan, and al so to add to the keepingqmitjity of the milk by destroying the mold germs. A second straining follows, after which the milk is transfered to a va cuum -pan, where, at a temperature belcw 160 degrees Fahrenheit, it boils and is rapidly concentrated to any degree desired. The vacuum pan em ployed is a close vessel of copper: egg ' n. shaped, about six feet high and fotiTj ' and a half feet in diameter. It is heat ed by steam coils'witliin. and by a steam jacket without inclosing the lower portion. In. one side, of the ' dome is a smnll window through which gas illuminates the interior, while on the opposite Kid ? is an eye glass through which tho condition of the contents may be observed.! Tint pan is also provided with a vacuum gauge and test sticks. Much of the milk used in cities is simply concentrated without any ad dition of sugar. The process of con centration is continued in the vacuum- pan until one gallon of the milk has been reduced to a little less than a quart one volume of condensed milk corresponding t6 about four and three-; tenths volumes of milk. 'CondcitHi.il;' milk intended to be -preserved for any I n ;thofti he has an uddh io 1 o p ; e cane sugar made to it during thu bon ing, and is usually put up in n ul'H cans. This sugared or "preserved"5 milk, when "properly prepared, will keep for muny years. - Ttie Men Who Succeed.
