Desperate aud Deliberate.

Soldiers willingly take the ordinary
chances Of battle, knowing that only
one bullet in two or three thousand has
its billet. But their courage is tried
when ordered to assault works from
which their fellows have been repulsed,
again and again. Each man realizes
that his chance of surviving is SO Slight
that it behOOveS him to prepare Tor
death.
AT such times veteran troops become
desperate and deliberate, and enter
upon the attack with the feeling of the
gladiators, who cried: "Hail, Caesar!
We who are about to die salute thee !"
In the June Century Gen. Horace
Porter sketches a striking case of this
sort of courage, which he saw displayed
at Cold HarbOr.
The Union soldiers had been repeat
eddy repulsed in assaulting earth-works,
and had lost heavily each time. They
had become impressed with the convic-
ton that such attacks meant certain
death.
A dangerous assault had been ordered
at daylight the next morning. That
evening the men were seen with their
coats off, writing their names and home
addresses on slips of paper, and pinning
these slips upon the backs of their coats.
They were going to the next morn
ing's work, without hope of reviving:
but anxious that their friends at home
might learn their fate. they were taking
measures for securing the recognition
of their dead bodies upon the battle
field.
Such courage is more than heroic:
it is sublime"

Circles.

Society in this city is taking pro-
ionged vacation. No entertainments or
socials of any note were given last week.
Not that the gay creatures, who make
up the rank and file of society, are either
dead or sleeping; they have simply
gone to the lakes, there to enjoy amuse-
ments only possible in the heated sea-
son. The society belle of to-day knows
that no matter how many or varied her
charms may be, they do not appear to
good advantage in crowded room
when the mercury is above the nlnetles.
Her bangs obstinately refuse to stay
curled and to maintain a well made up
complexion in such an atmosphere, Is a
feat that no art has yet compaSsed- No
costume will dispose of itself in the
artistic lines; instead, it persists III fall
ing i'll limp and disorderly lines. When
no amount of suffering will avail to
produce an artistic appearance, then
the society girl betakeS herself to
where cool breezes blow and there
is every opportunity for her to re-
ceive the just reward of her untir-
ing efforts to make of herself pleasant
picture to be remembered along with
the beauties of Nature. So the city is
deserted except for a few quiet lawn
parties, which are often the more en-
joyable for their lack of fOrmality.
~
Even the perennial picnic is not so
numerous of late. Here and there Sun
day schools or small societies spend
pleasant day at one of the lakes. The
only picnics of note that are spoken of
for the next few days are those of the
IriSh-American societies at White Bear,
and the X. of l.. picnic at Harriet next
