J. Esten Cooke in Philadelphia Weekly Times
The battle had evidently reached the
; turning point, and Stuart saw the des>
perato character of his situation. 1t
was difficult to use his artillery in such
a melee of friend and foe, and his left
wing was soon in utter disorder. The
Federal attack had at last succeeded in
breaking it to pieces the men were
scattering in every direction, and see-
ing Major Dreathed near him Stuart
shouted:
'Breathed! take command Of all the
mounted men in the road and hold it
! against whatever comes. If this road is
lost We are gone p'
Such an order was precisely suited to
the tastes of man like Breathed. 1
was intimately acquainted with him and
never knew human being who took
such sincere delight in desperate fight
lug. AT Stuart's order Breathed salu-
ted, and shouting to the men to follow

or not. He was Immediately surround

of the saddle, and he received pistol
shot in his side, but he cut down one
Federal officer, killed another with his
revolver, and made his way out, his face
streaming with blood. At this moment
the artillery opened, but determined
charge was made on the guns, and all
the pieces were captured but one. The
driver of this piece lashed his horses and
rushed the gun off toward the ClIicka'
hominy, followed by the cannoneers,
cursing and shouting: "For Gods sake

gun to have been captured. As it was

IMPORTANT TO PILOTS.
CHANGE IN RULES,


WASHINGTON Feb. 1.-The national
board of supervising inspectors of steam
vessels took the most importspt action yet
had during its present session to-day. 1t
struck out the national pilot rules that
clause of the paragraph referring to right
OF way which gave to vessels "head to
head an option as to whether they would
go to starboard or to port. The section of
the navigation law applicable to the matter
says that in all cases they must go to star
board. The pilotrule and not the law has
been observed on the western rivers. II has
obtained, too, to a considerable extent on
the lakes and on eastern waters. Some
vessel shippers and owners, however, know
ing the law as well as the rule objected to
abiding by the latter rather than the former.
Large steamers ID New York and Boston
harbor did not want to move at the dictate
of tug boats, and others wanted all uncer.
tainty in the law removed. District Attor-
ney Woodford was requested by some of
thegentlemen residents of New York last
year to prosecute other vessel-owners and
captains who had been obeying the rule for
violating the law. Instead of doing so
District Attorney Woodford laid the facts
before the secretary Of the treasury suggest.
ing the abolition Of the rule. When the
board of supervising inspectors met in Jan
uary, Secretary Folger laid this correspon-
dence before it, and its action to-day was
the result of its consideration of the supges
tons therein contained. Supervising In.
spector-Gen Dumont suggested the change
made to-day three years ago, but for some
unknown reason his suggestion was not
acted on.

Perhaps the pleasantest private social
gatherings held in this city for some time
past, was that held at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. G. Pink, at the corner of Ninth
street and Washington avenue, last night
The night was a beautiful one-"overhead"
so that it was almostA pleasure to be out
in spite of mud. People from nearly all parts
of the city were present and as result, the
elegant parlors and sitting rooms and halls
and dining rooms of Mr.. Pink's residence
thronged with an elegantly dressed and a
very happy crowd of people, both grown
and young. That pleasure reigned supreme
it is needless to say, for it will be
accepted as matter of course. Music,
song, health giving laughter and converse
ton, together with an elegant repasti in
which ice cream and cake figured con-
spiciously, each contributed full share to
the general enjoyment which pervaded the
entire party. The young ladies of the Epis-
copal church, under whose auspices the So
ciable was given, and Mr.. and Mrs. Pink,
the generous host and hostess, have reason
to congratulate themselves upon the COM
plete success of their undertaking and de-
serve praise for their perfect management of
the affair.

"A more than ordinarily interesting meet
ing was held in the rooms of the Woman's
Club and Library Association on Wednes-
day afternoon. Considering the very dis
agreeable weather the attendance was very
hattering to those ladies who, ii was known,
would present original readings upon the
occasion. One very interesting paper upon
parliamentary rules was read and afterwards
made the subject of quite learned and
spirited discussion, in which number of
members took part. But one of the prin.
cipal features Of the literary exercises was
the paper read by Mrs. H. H. Candee, en-,
titled "Down the st. Lawrence and Through
the White Mountains" 1t was an inter
esting word picture of journey through a
beautiful country by close observer, who
can discover and appreciate the grand
beauties of nature; it was well written and
well read by the authoress, and well re-
ceived by the cultured little audience.
Besides the literary exercises, some routine
business in connection with the library was
transacted, and then the meeting was ad-
journed.
