Where Bernhnidt Wrote a Pass.
A story of Saiah Bernhaidt Is told
by a bookseller. Ho writes: "I ie
msinber a funny thing which Sauih
Bernhardt did In our shop when she
was here last, hho dropped In oin
morning, and, of course, all wcro ex
ceedingly nnxlous to wait upon her.
Finally It resolved ltsclt aa my duty
and I sold her aulte a pile of hooka. I
showed the great fcticss cvety atten
tion, nnd she seemed plensed. Just as
sho was going out shn took bold of
my pencil and asked mo auiiuthliirc in
Fienelt which I did net unelei stand
"Seeing that I failed to catch her
meaning, she looked about on tho
counters, but apparently did not seo
what sho wanted. Then, us quick aa
a flash, befoie I could comprehend her
aim, she took up a volume of one of
tho ery best eets of Scott In the
placj, bound In tree calf, opened It at
tho center, wrote something quickly,
calmly tore out the leaf, handed It to
me, smiled and went out. On looking
at tho leaf, I saw that she lind written
a pass for two to her performances
that evening' But sho did It nt the
cost of ruining one of tho best sets of
books In the shop,"

and tnko possession of her They
stnrtort for her nnrt learned on their
nrrlvnl on her deck that the cantaln
and other officers had quietly slipped
away In a boat on the opposite sldo
nnd were no doubt safely on shore.
Pnjllgut began to creep over the
waters and we had the proud satis
faction of seeing that we had raptured
a largo Iron Htenmer, apparently new,
und In flrst-rlnss condition. Tho llag
idtlp Housatonlc now signalled us to
bring her nlongslde she laying about
12 miles south of us, a distance giving
us n fine chance to tent the prize's
speed, which proved greater than that
of any of our fleet.
A DAYLIGHT BATTLE.
W had ordeis to follow, and had
proceeded but a little way, when we
heard llrlng oft Charleston, and soon
discovered that a rebel ram had come
out of the haihor, and was engaged
In a duel with the flagship. It was a
bright, clenr morning, and as we heard
the shots, and saw the smoke puff up
fi mt the guns, the bhella as thoy
ilecnehetted, spouting the wnter In
their course, in tide a, sight novcr to bo
forgotten This duel kept up for an
bom or ninie, neither vessel having
been tnlur-H, when the rain steamed
slowly back Into tho harbor. We
learned, however, upon J caching the
llagsltlp, that two rams had previous
ly attacked the btdo-wheeler, Mercl
dltn, killing I luce men bj a shot In her
bolleis, and that n shoe In the steam
drum of the Keystone State had killed
21 men besides wounding 13 more. Af
ter firing llteo shots tho ram had left
them and moved tip the channel where
one had stopped to engage the Hou
satonlc. TOWING PRIZE TO PORT.
The two vessels were then towed to
Port Roi.nl. They were formerly coast
steameis In the merchant service and
hud nothing but signal guns aboard.
We afteiwaids learned that tho ram
hart enmo out to recapture the "Prin
cess Royal" her captain having re
ported In Clint lcston that sho had en
gines and steel plating for rams
which, of course, would bo of great
vnluo to the rebels.
Mai tin E. Vandlce, nnd Third Assls
tarn Engineer It. II. Thurston (now of
Corn. 11 unlversltj) were ordeied to
tnko chaigi of tho prize, and proceed
at once to Philadelphia, whero she
would be condemned and yold nt auc
tion, fho was found to bo a now first
el iss Iton screw Htenmer loaded with
machlnety, iron plates, powder, cof
fi o. Honors, dry goods, drugs, etc.,
all of which wen' greatlv needed by
tho lebels. n Interesting feature,
was the fact tint Llndsas & company,
of London, owned her, ind Mr. Llnd
r.ay, of that 111 in, u member of parlia
ment, hr-d moved v.hllo In his seat. In
the previous veur, tint tho British
government should no longer acknowl
edge the blockade because of its alleg
ed Inofliciencv. The 'vessel and cargo
brought $3s"i,000, one-half of tho net
proceeds golrg to the government, the
othr half to all olllceis and men who
weu within signal distance at time
of c.intuie, their share being propor
tion! rt nccotdlng to their wages. It
was irtliir a singular thing that all
vc-sels caught tunning tho blockade

ownership. Nctwltlistnndlng the vig
ilance of Uncle Sam, many valuable
cat gees slipped Into the confederacy,
