left flank unprotected. The extreme point
of this flank was held by Hazlett's battery,
Fifth United States artillery Hazlett had
taken position on hill in order to throw
shot in advance of Porter's infantry into
the woods occupied by Jackson's men.
The next troops north of Hazlett's bat
terry were Sykes regulars and Warren's
demi- brigade of volunteers, the latter form
ing reserve to Sykes division. When
Warren saw Reynolds division moving Off
and leaving Porter's flank exposed he re-
solved 10 cover the space with his little
force, aggregating just 600 men. Six COM
panies of the Tenth New York were de-
ployed as skirmishers, with four companies
in reserve, and the Fifth regiment entire
was posted as supports to Hazlett's bat
terry. In a very short time the fortunes Of
the day depended upon Porter's corps, and
the fate of this corps rested with HaZlett'S
battery, whose fortunes in turn were in
the hands of the Zouaves, recruited since
Gaines Mill to be 400 strong. The idea
that Jackson's corps was retreating was a
mistake, and Porter's men were met on
their charge by force strongly intrenched
behind a railroad embankment. When the
charging column fell back before this OBJ
struction the Confederates followed up,
and Hazlett's battery alone was in position
to fire upon the enemy in aid of the retiring
troops. One Confederate column in par
ticular was beaten back by the shots of
HaZlett's guns
Warren held on with his handful, deter
mined to save the battery or lose all in the
effort. In a short time new enemy APP
peared, for there was another mistake
made that day in the calculations at Union
headquarters. Jacksons corps was not
alone on the field. Longstreet was at hand
with $4,000 fresh troops, and while he was
advancing eastward on the south side of
the pike Jackson was retiring westward on
the north of it TO get in line with him.
Longstreet's column made a wide circuit,
bringing Nh at last on PorterS left flank

so as to envelop it completely. Warren
was occupied on his front with force that
attacked his skirmishers, when the new en-
envy made his appearance and rushed for
Hazlett's battery. The Tenth fell back
from the skirmish line across the front of
the Fifth in such way as to prevent them
from firing without hitting friends. War
rem succeeded in eXtricating the Tenth,
and Just as the front was clear for the
Fifth TO open fire, a sharp volley was
poured upon it from the left and rear.
Hazlett was promptly informed by War
ren that his battery was in danger and at
the same time the Fifth was ordered 20 re-
tire Longstreet's overwhelming columns,
led by the dashing Hood, r. H. Anderson
and d. r. Jones, were moving. unOppoSed,
north by eastward to the WarrentOn pike.
In the uproar of battle Warren's COM
mand to the Fifth 10 retire reached the
ears of one captain only. When he passed
it TO mis- men they stood still and kept on
shooting. The captain was wounded while
trying 70 get his men TO move backward as
ordered. The regimental adjutant caught

captains along the line. He was killed be-
fore his duty was half done. The regi-
mental commander, Capt. Cleveland Wins
low, had his horse shot, and the only other
field officer, Capt. Lewis, was killed. Still
another captain was killed and two cap
tains and four lieutenants were wounded.
Both color bearers were shot down and the
color guard suffered severely. Meanwhile
Hazlett imbered up and was off. He had
to cross a ditch where only one carriage
could move at a time, but he saved every
thing thanks to the gallant Zouaves, who
lost half their number in checking the
enemy.
The loss of the Zouaves was unparalleled
in any infantry regiment during the war
in a single engagement. There were 8
officers and So men killed outright and Z
officers and 1913 men wounded. OF the
wounded SO died subsequently, making a
total of killed and mortally wounded of
49, In neither case, at Gaines Mill nor at
Groveton, was the blood poured out in
vain. The Zouaves held their ground at
Gaines Mill until re-enforcements came
and key position was prevented from
falling into the hands Of the enemy. AT
Groveton, Porter's flank was protected and
Hazlett's battery was prevented from fall
ing into Confederate hands. twas Hazlett
that took the very same guns saved that
day by the Zouaves up the rocky ascent of
Little Round Top at Gettysburg, and saved
the day on July 9, when Longstreet's troops
tried to repeat their success and demolish
the left flank of Meade's army.
In these two battles the Fifth mustered
an aggregate of $40 men. Its losses in
killed and wounded amounted to 404. The
percentage in killed of those engaged was
u at Gaines Mill and "a at Second Bull
Run. During its term OF service the regi-
ment lost 2l6 by death, 179 OF them from
battle shots, and 254 were wounded and
recovered. The regiment was mustered

brigade. Gen. II. f. Davies, the cavalry
man, and Gen. J. T. Hamblin, were cap

second colonel, and Gen. Hiram Duryes

ruronean and American Banks.

Banks originated for the purpose of ap-
pealing to the poor, and the institutions of
England and of Europe generally have re-
tanned that feature. In this country the
depositors Of the savings banks up to with
in comparatively short time were found
TO belong almost entirely 70 the middle
and comfortable class Of people, who could
annually place an amount, small or large,
In the bank without being Obliged TO deny
themselves any comforts or luxUries. I'm
like similar institutions across the Allan
tic, the savings banks here do not seem TO
appeal specially 70 the humble wage earn
ers, and make no effort to secure savings
from children or 10 educate them along
the line Of thrift and economy. Indeed.
many banks, particularly in this city, re-
fuse the accounts OF certain classes Of peo-
pie who would be gladly welcomed as de-
positors in such places as London, Liver
pool, Manchester and Glasgow.
During the past few years, however, a
number of institutions designed to secure
small savings have come into existence,
and are thriving in various parts Of the
country. Dime and nickel savings banks
are among this class.-New York Recorder.

DECORATIVE NOTES.
How to Make Charming Frames for
Etchings and Other Useful Hints.


Etchings and Other Useful Hints.
With China silk in pale pink, blue, cream
or other delicate tint, very pretty frame
for small engravings or etchings can be
made. The foundation Of the frame may
be fat, thin wood or heavy pasteboard,
over which the silk is stretched. Cut the
silk in lengthwise strips and lay them fat
on the frame, but make a full puff in each
corner where the strips join.
An exceedingly attractive teacloth has 3
decoration OF violets embroidered in the
natural color and looking as if they had
been scattered carelessiy over the white
cloth.
Large cushions are well liked. and an
unused bed pillow OF medium size can be
converted into handsome sofa cushion by
making for it a crazy patchwork cover
deliberately worked over in fancy stitches
A favorite fashion is to throw large
square or length of any brocaded material
over couches, chairs and plain cushions
These squares make pretty presents for
babies. They are edged with lace and in
tended to throw over the child when asleep
in bed.
One of the best OF sponge bags is OF
butchers linen, embroidered in linen floss
or wash silk IL is lined with rubber sheet
ing and gathered up on draw string.
Colors are much used in embroidery on
white linen and give a rich appearance,
but too much diversity of this kind causes
a muddled, unpleasant look, and it is a re-
lief to turn to teacloths, etc, worked with
a simple outline pattern in one color only.
In this case the design may be allowed TO
extend almost over the cloth. One of the
easiest and best forms Of outlining con
sists simply of backstitch. This is an old
stitch revived, but few equal it il deiicacy
and effectiveness.

To Do To Thin DraperIes.

The art muslins and thin silks used in
getting up pretty rooms nowadays have
fashion of losing their freshness very cas-
lily. A lady far removed from professional
cleaners experimental with some muslins
to see whether they might be washed or
not, and found that some OF the reds. yell
lows and terra cottas did fairly well. She
says: If any one likes to try they should
make a soapy lather with hot water; when
lukewarm thoroughly wash and shake the
muslin in it. Rinse it quickly in clean
water with little salt in it; then roll in "a
large soft towel and squeeze out the water.
Have some irons ready, iron out the mate
rial at once while wet on the wrong side,
and hang it when done near the fire to com
plete drying The muslin will then be
slightly stifIened, but not too much. This
applies to the patterned art muslins, not
the cheap whole colored ones.

Trade Talk of Curious Character Com

Some hundreds of keen and not over
scrupulous New Workers are perpetually
haunted by visions of wealth to be made
through petty inventions. The success of
'pigs in clover" concentrated for a time
the whole energy and cleverness Of these
men upon puzzles. A dozen new puzzles
were promptly invented, and as many old
ones were revived. There was an uncon-
scionable amount of lying done about the
prospects of each invention. Half dozen
of the spectators were tortured by pros

was curious mixture of slang from the
slums, figures from the counting house
and technical terms caught from the me-
chanical trades with which his precarious
business brought him in contact. He was
glib of tongue, quick at repartee and at
times peculiarly happy in rude figures OF
speech.
All his talk was spiced with a cynical
wisdom of the world, and beneath the sur
face lurked, half hidden, an intense desire
to get money easily and quickly. He had
sold everything, from knitting needle 70
rag baby. AT that moment he was can
wasting for new puzzle, but the owner OF
the invention expected too much, IN fact
hoped to sit still and see dollars roll right
in at his doorway. But that amt my

Two months later, at the battle called
Second Bull Run, or Grovetou, Aug. 50.
1862, the Zouaves were brought into action
under conditions still more trying than
those at Gaines Mill The battle at Grove
bon was apparently favorable TO the Union
army until nearly o'clock in the afternoon.
About that hour the Union commander,
Gen. Pope, ordered an advance of his whole
force on a line at right angles with the
WarrentoR pike and north of it. Stonewall
Jackson's Confederate corps. after good
pounding received on the 29th, was retiring
westward somewhat hastily, and it was
supposed by Pope that jackson was alone
and could be routed by a sharp attack on
his right flank near the pike. Fitz John Por-
ter's corps was given this task and formed
the left wing of Pope's army. Two divi-
sions Of Porter's lay north OF the pike and
one (Reynolds) south of it. At the time
the attack commenced Reynolds division
was ordered elsewhere, leaving Por1er's

The Decorator and Furnisher. from which
the illustration and its description are re-

band could be worked on the darker side
of the denim and the flowers in yellow.
The ribbon then used would look well in
yellow cigar ribbon for the festoons at the
top and along the edges Of the band, but
that in the band would still need TO be OF
the heavier kind unless fixed on with
gold cord on each side, which would have
a very rich effect.

Miss Kate Heaton recently graduated from the Normal School in Westfeld and came home last Thursday to spend the summer, expecting to assume the cares and responsibilities of teacher in the Fall. -. Rev MT Barnett of Canaan called on some of his parishon- CTS who reside in this village Monday Last Sunday was observed as "Children's day" in our church. Rev Mir Warren addressed the children who occupied the front pews in the church in the afternoon. In the evening 8 program entitled'Th Pearl Gatherers, , was we'll rendered by members of the Sunday school and congregation. All parts were we'll sustained and much credit is due all who participated in the exercises. The church was elaborately decorated with flowers, ferns, and ar- t1stically arranged banners. ... It is hoped there will be large delegation of our townspeople at the supper to be served on the lawn of Mir Geo Wood this (Thursday) evening. As it is for the benefit of the cemetery association all ought to feel special interest and help the project by their presence.
