He was brave even torashness and always at the front, likePrince Napoieon among the Znlus. Thathe did not, like that unfortunate youth,lose his life in the campaign was duerather to geed rock than to good man-agement. His first exploit was in a verybrave action as Williamsburg, the ac-

tion where Hancock won the sobriquet'The Superb. 1st was a deed such as hasimmortalized some men. Several ofHan-cock's guns, planted in an opening, hadbeen ambuscaded asd all the gunnersand supports killed or driven off. TheConfederates had guns trained on the--pot, but the duke took two companiesof cavalry and dashed in. With his lit-tle band of troopers he circled the wholefield in the face cf shell and musketshots at close range and only retiredwhen he discovered that the capturedguns had been hauled away and thatthe Confederates were nrotected by m--trenchments.

the French princes at Gaines MrH, es-

pecially the dake and his uncle, Princede JoinviHfi. Another incident of thattattle it is --well to recall in these timescf international rancor and jealousy.The battery attached to our division,was one of the most noted in the army.It was raised at Hobcken, X. J--, andwas composed of German refugees.Captain Hexamer, tha commander, was

d exile from Baden who had risen isIS4S with the universal movementgainst royalty. The battery was led

into action at Gaines 3tIiH by Prince de--Toinville, an expatriated prince ofFrance, whose house had been over-thrown in that great revolution of 1S4S.The French movement had succeeded,making this prince a wanderer. TheGerman uprising had failed, and Hex-amer, the banished soldier, was in thearmy cf the American republic Theprince led the battery into action, di-

recting it and shifting its position ac--cording to the turn of the fight, andkept Jt itiv engased until niuilr

closed the "battle. I-na- ve ofteulieard--nexamer ana ms Gmcsrs asd men. say i

that it was among fuerr proudest recol-lections that they had fought raider thedirections of a prince of the house cfOrleans in a fight for popular govern-ment. Subsequently De Joinville wrotea description of the peninsular cam-paign for publication in France and:paid Eexamer's German artillerists abrilliant compliment. After recountingthe fields where he had witnessed goodworfc, he said that he had never seencooler men or mere eSciest service ofthe gnas than l.e saw with the GermanhaKerywMch b had directed in -t-

at Gaines 3SIL This lifceraZ wordof the prince is all the more noteworthyin view of the fact that the legacy ofhate between Germany and France, ofwJHen we nave heard so much, since1S70, really dates from the middle ages.

"But to return to the duke. His im-petuous nature was the cause of no lit-tle concern to his uncle and likewiseoccasioned some embarrassment to Mc-Gleii- an.

who had to oppose or sanctionhis hazardous projects. The day beforethe royal party left the - army for goodthe duke came under my close observa-tion in a verycurious mannex, and I re-

late the circumstance in detail becauseit fitly illustrates his character.

of United States warships off Texas:"When Wilmington was on. tha point

of falling, there was nothing for it butto transfer our operations to Galveston, 4

and to accomplish this 1 took the nan-sis

eo !Nb. 2 over to Havana with a valu-able cargo in order to maka an attemptto run into Galveston. This proved tobe my last trip.

"The third evening after leavingHavana we had run pr distance, and,on heaving the lead aHd finding wewere within a few miles of shore, westeamed cautiously cn in order to tryand make out the blockading squadronor the land. It was a comparativelycalm and very dark night, just the ansfor the purpose, but within an hour allhad changed, and it commenced to blowa regular 'norther, ' a wind which isvery prevalent on that coast. Until thenI had no idea what a norther' meant.First rain came down in torrents, thencut of the inky blackness of clouds andrain came furious gusts until a hurri-cane was blowing, against which, not-withstanding that we were steaming atfull speed, we made little or no way,and, although the sen was smooth, ourdecks were swept by white feara andspray. Suddenly we made out somedark objects all around us, and foundourselves drifting helplessly among theships of the blockading squadron, whichwere Steaming hard to their anchors,and at one moment we were almostjostling two of them. Whether theyknew what we were or mistook us forcne of themselves matters not. Theywere tao much occupied about their ownsafety to attempt to interfere.

"As to attempt to get into Galvestonthat night would have "been madness,we let the Banshee drift, and when wetiesgilt we were clear of the fleet westeamed slowly seaward, after awhileshaping a course so as to make the landabout 30 miles to the southwest at day-light. We succeeded in doing- - this, andeuietly dropped our anchor in perfectlycalm water, the norther having subsidedalmost as quickly as it had risen. Hav-ing seen enough of cur pilot to realizethat he was no good whatever, we de-

cided after a conference to He all daywhere we were, keeping a sharp lookoutand steam handy, and determined asevening came on to creep slowly up thecoast until we made gut the blockadingfleer, then to anchor again and make abold dash for cur port.

"All went welL We were unmolest-ed during the day and got under weightoward evening, passing close ttr awreck, which we recognized. Immedi-ately after that we very nearly lost ourown ship too. Seeing a post or Confed-erate soldiers close by on the "beach, wedetermined to steam ctese in and com-

municate with them in order to learn allabout the tactics of the Mecka tiers andour exact distance from Galveston. Webacked her close in to the breakers morder ta speak, but when the order wasgiven to go ahead she declined to move,and the chief engineer reported thatsomething had gone wrong with thecylinder valve and that she muss heaveto for repairs. It was an anxious mo-

ment. The Banshee had barely threefathoms beneath her and her stem wasaim est in the white water. We let gothe anchor, bus in the heavy swell itfailed to hold. The pilot was in a help-less state of flurry when he found thatwe were drifting slowly but steadilytoward the shore, but Captain Steele'spresence of mind never once desertedhim. The comparatively few minuteswhich occupied the engineers in tempo-rarily remedying the defect seemed likehours in the presence of the danger mo-mentarily threatening us. When atlength the engineers managed to turher ahead, we on the bridge were great-ly relieved tr1-- see her point seaward dclear the breakers.

"As soon as we reached deep waterthe damage was permanently repairedandwe steamed cautiously up the coast,until about sundown we made ou thetapmasts cf the blockading EGuadronright ahead. We promptly stopped, cal-culating that, as they were about 18 orII miles from us, Galveston must lie alittle farther cn carport tow. We let gocur anchor and prepared for an anxiouslight. All hands were cn deck and thecable was ready to he unshackled at amoment's notice, with steam as nearlyready as possible without blowing off,as at any moment a prowler from thesquadron patrolling the coast mighthave made us out. We had not been ly-ing thus very long when cn the star-board bow we made out a cruiser steam-ing toward us, evidently en the pruwLIt was a crrricai rime. All hands werecn deck, a man standing by to knockthe shacklo out of the chain cable andThe engineers at their stations. TiAsto the 'backing of the coast, our frienddid not discover us.

4 'After this alFwas qulefc duffagtheremainder Gf the night, which, fortu-nately farus, was very dark; anrl abouttwo hours before daylight we quietlyraised our anchor and steamed slowlyen, feeling our way cautiously by thelead and hoping when daylight fairlybroke to find ourselves inshie the fleetopposite Galveston and able to make ashort dash for the ban We had beenunder weigh seme time, when suddenlywe discovered a launch close to us cnthe port bow filled with northern blue-jack- ets

and marines. "Full speedahead! shouted Captain Steele of theBasshee, ana we were within an ace cfrunning her down as we almost grazedher with our port paddle wheel. I look-ed straight down into-th- e boar, wavingthem aparting salute. The crew seemedonly tao thankful at their narrow es-

cape to open fire, but they scon regain-ed their senses and threw up rocket aft-er xeeiret in our wake as a warning tothe blockading fleet.

and the first thing we discovered wusthatwe had not taken sufficient accountof the effects cf the 'north er1 cn thecurrent. Instead cf being opposite thetown, with the fleet broad cn cur star-board beam, we found ourselves downthree or four ihiiTesr from it and themost leeward blcekader close to us onour bow. It was a moment for immedi-ate decision. The alternatives were toturn tall and stand a chae to seawardby their fastest cruisers, with chance ofcapture, and in any case a return to Ha-vana, as we had not sufficient coal foranother attempt, or to make a dash forit and take the fire of the squadron-- Inan instant we decided to go for it, andorders to turn ahead full speed weregiven.

By this time the fleet had openedfire uugu us and shells were burstingmerrily around as we took the fire cfeach ship which we passed.

And to this we owed our escape,as, although our funnels were riddledwith shell splinters, we received nodamage and bad only one man. wounde-
