company is entertained, these screen doors
are removed entirely, thus making one
large room out Of many small ones.
The wood work and interior finish in
private dwellings are very simple; the
doors and window frames are without
holdings, and there are no wainscotings or
mantel carvings.
1t is considered in the best taste to have
all interior work of the plainest descrip-
ton, implanted and unyarnished. Repeat
ed duStings and rubbings give to the nat
ural wood a polished surface and mellow
tint.
The wells are covered generally with a
small patterned paper as we'll as the cell
lngs, although the latter occasionally is
divided with geometrical precision, and
covered with woven bamboo in different
colors.
In every room ample arrangement is
made for ventilation. In one part of the
reception room or parlor of the house is a
platform raised about six inches from the
floor, where an honored guest is always
seated, the host kneeIing on the floor be-
fore him and serving him. Cushions take
the place of chairs and the tables of Euro
pean homes are unknown.
Censer8, cabinets, and bronze pieces are
placed in the principal rooms, and hang
ing scrolls ornament the walls.

Panic-Stricken Troops at Shiloh.

From General Grants illustrated ac-
count of the Battle of Shiloh in the Feb
ruar Century we quote the following:
The nature of this battle was such
that cavalry could not be used in front;
| therefore formed ours into line, in
rear, to stop stra@glers. of whom there
were many. When there would be
enough of them to make a show, and
after they had recovered from their
fright, they would be sent to reinforce
some part of the line which needed
support, without regard to their
companies, regiments, or brigade.
''On one occasion during the day,
| rode back as far as the river and met
General Buell.. who had Just arrived;
do not remember the hour of the day,
but at that time there probably were as
many as four or five thousand strag-
glers lying under cover of the river
bluff, panic-stricken, most of whom
would have been shot where they lay,
without resistance, before they would
have taken muskets and marched to
the front to protect themselves. The
meeting between General Buell. and
myself was on board the dispatch-boat
used to run between the landing and
Savanna. 1t was but brief, and related
specially to his getting his troops over
the river. As we left the boat togeth-
er, Buelrs attention was attracted by
the men lying under cover of the river
bank. l saw him berating them and
trying to shame them into Joining their
regiments. He even threatened them
with shells from the gun-boats near by
But it was all to no effect. Most of
these men afterward proved themselves
as gallant as any of those who saved
the battle from which they had desert
ed. | have no doubt that this sight
impressed General Buell. with the idea
that line of retreat would be good
thing Just then. If he had come in by
the front instead of through the strag-
glers in the rear, he would have
thought and felt differently. Could he
have come through the Confederate
rear, he would have witnessed there
scene similar to that Al our own. The
distant rear of an army engaged in
battle is not the best place from which
to Judge correctly what is going on in
front. In fact, later in the war, while
occupying the country between the
Tennessee and the Mississippi. / learned
that the panic in the Confederate lines
had not differed much from that within
our own. Some of the country people
estimated the stragglers from john
ston's army as high as 10000. OF
course, this was an exaggeration.

A Canadian SnOw-ShOe Parade.

The first view of the palace on reach
ing the Square was enchanting. Itwas
brilliantly illuminated with electric
lights, which shone through its sides
and gave it the appearance of large
structure of ground glass. A band OF
music was playing inside, and thou5-
ands of people in their warm furs and
gayly colored head-dresses were crowd
ing about it. A slight snow was fall
ing, the air was cold, but dry, and the
whole scene made us think of pictures
we had seen of winter sights in Moscow
and st. Petersburg. Soon there was a
cry of Here they come and then at
the northern end of the Square the
torches of the snow-shoe clubs we're
seen approaching. On they came, and
after several hundred had filed by, and
their torches had surrounded three
sides of the Square with line of light,
at a given signal shower of rockets
ascended from the middle of the
Square, Roman-candles were let off
from the whole line of snow-shoers. and
the ice palace was brightly lighted with
colored fires, one tower being red. an
other green, and another blue. The
effect was almost magical. We were
well acquainted with Fourth of July
fireworks Gas what American boys are
not?, but to see such effects in a snow
storm was novel indeed. We watched
the whole parade-a thousand snow
shoers in their picturesque white suits,
and then returned home, and from the
window watched the line pass and re-
pass across the top OF the mountain and
then wind down its side, doubling back
and forth in the descent four or five
times. until finally We saw it as it sank
