American Satire.
(Copyrighted.}
New York, Oct, s.—They say that Mark
Twain’s forthcoming satire will be to the :
English speaking people of two continents ;
what “Don Quixote” was to
This is undoubtedly rather extravaga-.t
praise altnouga in the “Adventures of a
Con- octicut Yankee iu the C iurt of King
Arthur,” the author, who has already taken
rank as the greatest American humorist,
reveals himself in anew literary character
that will be a surprise to all who know him.
The greatest seeresy has been observed
regarding the book, which will shortly ap
pear from the presses of a New York pub
lisher. Mr. Clemens’ lips have been sealed
even to his friends concerning the contents
of his volume, and the fugitive paragraphs
that havo appeared have onlv served to
pique curiosity as to the real character of
his latest progeny. One assertion, that the
title of the book was to be “Mr. Smith of
Astolat,” txeited considerable amusement,
th e hero of the adventures has no name.
An auth riz-d outline of the forthcoming
Aniß. iean satire is now given below for ti.e
first time.
In a thriving Connecticut town lived a
s revd business man, a typical modern
Yankee and the head of an iron factory.
He is a man who, by keeping his eyes open
every epp rtutiiiy, has become rich aud
pri -per us He is, moreover, a master
iiiw La; ic and a practical workman, havi g
n-en from the bench. During a dispute
with out of his men, the latter s.rikes him
n blow with a hammer felling him to the
ground, unconscious.
the Y i kee master-mechanic awakes to
rind himself iu a ew anti strange country,
wi th- r he concludes he has been trans
lated during sleep. He is near a wood,
ard lie observes that the foliage and vege
iatiort are wholly different from those to
which he is accustomed iu New England.
There are no landmarks by which he can
tlx the locality and, while he is speculating
i this strange adventure, he is accosted by
an a: med man on horseback, who rides up
si ;,im and, in language which the Yankee
recognizes us medieval English, gruffly
i. sin Is bis name aud busilie s. After a
little parleying aud some diplomacy the
v, juur is satisfied, apparently, that the
Yankee is a lunatic, for he takes him in
• w r.s a prisoner, and conducts him to the
court of bis master. King Art iur. The
isternatiou of the New England me
<■ auic is complete when he ascertains that,
i y mo transmigratory process, he has
ed back I,Bob years and wakened up in
“merrie England" aud among the knights
of the rou.id table.
Then foil w- a series of adventures that
confirm the suspicions of the Connecticut
"boss” mechanic t at he has fallen in peril
us straits. He is interrogated, and as he
becomes familiar with the situation and his
surroundings, his new Yankee wit comes
to tiie rescue and relieves him from many
embarrassments, He fortunately retains
aii L skoonli dge of modern chemistry and
niec.innici. His conversation, which is of
the nineteenth century order, is naturally
r.iiiteliigible in a large degree to bis new ac
quaintances. He speaks of things they
never heard of. and when he mentions even
i o most familiar accompaniments of everv
day life they are amazed. They conclude
he must be a magician and, accordingly,
-erliii, the court wizard, is sent for to test
iue value of liis occult knowledge; but the
Yankee quickiv puts Merlin's nose out of
j, hit by a few simple experiments w hich
are hailed as miracles of magic, and the
graybeai and is relegated to obscurity
ta.'or.
Our Yankee soon begins to see advan
‘ ...m in ins new position and astonishes the
king aud his court by the novelty of his
propositions. Pretty soon lie is iu nailed in
a confidential n;.d honorable relation t > the
monarch, who. although far from being
the chivalric minstrel king represented by
romance, is not quite so much of a medie
val t rute as the knights who Burrouud him.
Arthur perceives the advantage of the plans
t vr improvement suggested by the stranger.
Kafir* ads, t- egraphs, telephones and other
mod ra improvements are adopted at the
instigation of the Connecticut mechanic,
and soon he practically runs the kingdom,
which before his advent ha l been a sorry
mixture of savage y and discomfort, as far
the feelings of a nineteenth century indi
vidual are concerned.
lint altnouga ho lias a stanch friend and
ally in the king, the Yankee is far from
being exempt from the embarrassments
tnat beset a man in his odd condition. One
thing that troubles him not a little is bis
ai'iiK r; for, being attached to the court and
R knigut also, he must wear the accoutre
ments of knighthood. He finds the heavy
clanking metal suit a poor exchange for his
easy-fitting, well-made Bos on garments,
and he chafes under its weight till all bis
limbs are sore again. But be may not es
cape, although he takes every opportunity
•1 1 iieving himself of the casque and cui
rass.

Bat the road to amelioration is beset w ith
many obstacles fr, as Arthur and his
court cling tenaciously to their divine and
royal ur-.r gatives, the liberal minded
Y ankee is regarded as a disturber of the
realm.
The sequel is the downfall of Arthur's
kingdom and the dispersion of his court,
with the crash of crumbling royalty, the
Yankee is again lulled to sleep, and when
he re-awakeu, he is delighted to find him
self in his home in New England, safe and
well, surrounded by friends, and glad to be
over his | eriious adventures.
The story, which overflows with charac
teristic humor and incident, furnished a
vehicle for an answer to English criticisms
of America, as well as to those Anglo
maniacs who fl..d nothing in nature to ad
mire so much as tie “claims of long de
scent.” Its staf 8 of ridicule are aiike
aimed at the divine right of kings and the
pre criptive title of nobility fir rule and
plunder and oppress, and t: e gradual de
velopmeut of the story marks the contrast
betwree i a tree people and a feudal race, a
republic and amo archy. The central idea
of .be book i. to mark the distinction be
tween the nobility of ranks and the nobility
of mail; the right to rule and the right of
self-govei ninoii’. It is the first American
satire ever produced and will be equally
interesting here and in England, where the
descendants of Arthur will find themselves
pictured in a light entirely undreamed of by
Paul Blonet and other modern critics of the
“tight little island" and its psople.

THE REBEL. YELL.
The Effect Which It Always Had on
the Federals.
From the Oreenetboro ( Oa.) Journal.
In tho concluding chapter of President
Davis’ “Rise and Fall of the Confederate
Government,” headed “Conclusion,” ho re
marks that the want of space has com
pelled hitn to omit a notice of many noble
deeds, both of heroic men and women,” and
that “to others, who can say ‘cuncta qpo
ru n viii,’ I must leave the pleasant task of
payi g the tribute due.”
From this incitement the mind reverted
to an incident of what should be recorded
history, and which will follow here.
One of the most heroic, daring and fear
less deeds during the last year of the war
be.ween the states, and which came under
my personal knowledge and observation,
and of y\hieh no history ha< evor made any
record, occurred off Beaulieu, twelve miles
below Savan ab, in O sibaw sound.
Off tuat portion of the coast there was a
beautiful wur ocean stoamer, belonging to
the federal navy, mounting splendid rifle
guns and all the most unproved implements
of modern warfare, manned by a tine crew
of about one hundred and fifty men. See
was named the “VVa er Witch.” At that
time she was doing considerable damage to
the confederate cause iu many respects;
the one t at is specially conuec.ed with this
narrative was that she was assis iug the
negroes on the rice plantations to make their
escape to her. when she would sig al in
ferior craft to come forward and convey
the negroes wit in tiie enemy’s iine to be
converted into federal soldiery.
It seem’d that through some emissary
upon land a complete understanding wa<
kept up between the negroes on the adja
cent plantations and the crew of the Water
Witch; and as most, if not all, of the
escapes from the plantations were made at
night, a countersign was establi-hed be
tween the part.ei. That countersign was
“Contraband,” and when the escaped
negroes in open boats in the night ap
proached the IVater Witch, and wero
hailed, they would only resjoud, “Contra
band.”
This and other detriments to the confed
erate cause made the authorities ii Savan
nah determine, if possible, to capture or
destroy toe Water Witch. The service was
co isidered extremely hazardous, anil a call
for volunteers was made. Out of the small
naval force in Savannah, eighty, oouining
the officers and men, volunteered. They
were placed iu four open barges, each one
of the volunteers having sewed to the
right shoulder of his coat a white piece
of clot . They were commanded by
Lieut. Feint, first in command, and Turner
second, directed by a negro pilot. Each
barge manned twenty men. Their rendez
vous was twelve miles below Savannah.
The first night they went in search of the
Water Witch they saw her lights and
discerned that shg was too far at sea for
them to reach her bpf ire day. The second
night they were successful, she being
closer in. They reached in haiitng distance
about 1 o’clock, and being challenged re
plied, “Contraband,” when th y wre or
dered from on board of the Water Witch to
approach. On getting nearer their real char
acter was ascertained, when “rebels!” was
shouted from the Water Witch and the
barges wero fired into. With a vigorous
puli at the oars the b rges were sni along
side of the Water Witch, and the crew
commenced clambering up the high sides of
an ocean stoamer with her nettings up to
meet twice their numlier with all the* ad
vantages on the latter’s side.
Tiie crew of some of tho barges were in
advance of others, or, properly speaking,
one barge, when n panic occurred in
the latter, and they reversed oars and
pulled from the Water Witch with all their
power. This barge reached the rendezvous
reporting that tho crews of the other three
barges had all been captured or kills I. The
crew of this barge received no other injury'
than a few wounds in the back. The panic
of these twenty men loft sixty confederates
to contend with about twice or three times
their number. They succeeded in reaching
the high deck of the Water Witch from the
water’s edge, and clambering over the net
ting, with revolvers in hand and cutlasses
convenie it, they drove a portion of the
crew of the Water Witch below, when the
remainder surrendered.
Pelot, Turner, and the negro pilot of the
confederate forces were all killed.
Ab ut 11 o’clock a. m. the Water Witch
and ber crew, together with the dead and
w unded of l ota sides, was steamed to
White Point bluff, the prisoners and the
dead being first put off at Beaulieu.
I can never account for the perfect suc
cess of sixty men over twice or three times
their number, and contending against what
appeared insurmountable birriers, except
through the influence a id appalling effect
that the confederate yell had upon the
human nerve.

tbrt a young man named Cospers, em

thought the entire thing a snide delusion
