beyond fr;~and were then called oil their exciting game to give cold steel a chance. Suddenly three lines of men in gray, 1000 Mississippians and 2,00O Georgians, from McI.aws' veteran division, rushed from their cover, 900 yards from the goal, and headed for it at double quick They moved on noisclessly, without yelling or firing a shot, but with their bayonets ready for cx- ecution the instant the parapet was reached. When fairly under way the col umns wayered, the front ranks going down on the tangled wire. Benjamin opened his guns with canister, and the rihemen around him piled their shots upon the discomiited assailants A setback for them was inevitable, but the rear ranks crushed the wire beneath their tread and pressed on in the face of the storm with matchless intrepidity,
 They reached the ditch, but with their ranks in jumbled mass instead of de- ployed lines, as soldiers should move to the assault. The northwestern bastion of the fort formed salient angle and reached out, as it were, toward the Confederate lines. In their haste to be first on the works, and possibly because of the con fusion over the tangled wire episode, the heads of the three columns converged at the angle. On the edge of the ditch everything came to halt, but many of the men were cool enough to fire through the embrasures upon Beniamin's artillerists and on tho rinemen above on the parapets. The fire of the fort was soon silenced under these telling short range shots and the COnfed- crates far in the rear believed that it had surrendered.
 An awkward wait it was there under the muzzles of Benjamin's guns; but that wide, deep ditch, that high emGankment beyond, slippery with a freezing rain, how could men jump and climb and fight off opposition at the same timer The officers and the color bearers leaped down into the ditch and tried to scale the bank Their men initiated their valor, leaped in and ranged themselves at the base of the high bank to make human scaling ladders, and some few climbed on the shoulders of their fellows until they reached the top. The flags of the Thirteenth and Seventeenth Mississippi and of the Sixteenth Georgia were made fast on the parapet, and agaip and again the men around them were shot

 of a log and earth fort in few minutes. But this was not all. At the supreme moment, after bombardment had done it's work, a storming column of infantry, fol- lowed by horse batteries, was to press through the gap and sweep whatever the artillery fire spared around the fort or beyond it. The fort once passed, then on to the reserve lines and through them to the town
 The men in Fort Sanders surmised what the enemy was planning to do. Every foot hold on the exterior slope was pared off, the ditch was widened, and rihemen stood on duty along the parapet at the ticklish hours of twilight and dawn to welcome as sailants in due fashion. A happy thought of Lieut.. Benjamin's placed another ob- stacle in the way of the enemy. Along the front or the fort was a iieid Oi pine sJumIIS, where the trees had been cut off two feet from the ground. Benjamin, with his men, wound telegraph wire about the stumps, stretching 1t between them just high enough to trip soldiers on the march. An abatis of brush was made under the screen of ridge, so as to be unseen until assail- ants were almost upon it.
 For some reason the Confederate attack was made at the first streak of dawn, leav- ing but little time for the artillery pre- Jude. It was on Sunday, the day of count less big enterprises in war, some lucky and some just the contrary. The Confederate batteries fired few signal shells at tho fort aud tossed Q few more into the lines

THERE, THAT WILL COOL THEM OFF SOME" down. Two Georgia officers climbed in at the embrasures; one was captured and the other took one look and backed out again, saving himself by the lively use of six shooter.
 But such deadlocks cannot last forever, and it lay with Benjamin to break it. Dur ing the supreme crisis he coolly smoked a pipe that he had freshly lit just as the at tack began, and gave orders to his men suited to the movements of the enemy outside When the flags appeared on the crest of the Parapet and he knew that the ditch was filling with assalants, he began to pitch shells with lighted fuses over among them. A captain of the Highland CTS held blazing brand. the fuses were cut close, then lit at the brand and the missile whisked over into the luckless crowd. There, that will cool them or some" he would say blandly, as he tossed a lighted shell over the bank on it's deadly errand. BCnjamin's cannon swept the ditch once or twice with canister. But fresh assalants continually poured into it until it was crowded with men, and there was for the fellows penned in there no getting out of the way of the murderous grenades except by retreat. This at last they did sullenly, leaving the three flags on the parapet. (The flag of the Sixteenth Georgia is now in the war department col lection of captured fags.)
 The prisoners taken from the ditch and the killed and wounded in front of the fort outnumbered the whole garrison three to one. The unhUrt prisoners were 250; the dead and wounded in the ditch were 200, nearly all of the wounded being mortally hurt. The stump field in front was also covered with victims who fell in the charge, and Benjamin estimated that ut least 900 were cut GOwB between the starting point and thc parapet of the fort. The loss in the garrison was s killed and wounded, and in the adjacent Union lines about the same number.
 The Confederate leaders speculated for some time about following up the charge with fresh columns, but changed their minds and called the battle off. As it was, the actual clash of arms lasted but fifteen minutes, and if it had been continued to the average length of battles with the same rate of slaughter, Nov, %, 1863, might have rivaled on the Confederate siGe the blCOdiyEt Sundays of tEe war.

TNau ne Tin

What One Man Said to Another by
Way Of a Tip.
Reginald Marston had been talking
with Miss Alexander for at least two
hours on the piazza, where Fred Wheel
ington had presented him to the heir
ess. All HE best powers had been ex-
erted to please her, and it was quite
evident that he was more than success
full. As WheelingtOn came out at IL
o'clock into the fragrant summer air of
the night, MarstOn arose to go.
Not yet, | hope" said Miss AleXan-
der detainingly.
Eyes, l have stayed too long already"
Martson almost whispered, as he took
her hand.
With short good night to both, he
left Miss Alexander and WheelingtOn
on the plaza.
WheeIington took the chair Martson
had vacated, AID with the familiarity
of an old friend, drew it nearer that OF
the young woman.
''What have you been saying of me
to Mr.. Marston?' she began impulsively.
mot great deal of plimentary
character" he replied banteringly.
There isn't much to say, don't you
know"
"Oh. of course not" she laughed:
'but you must have said SOmethlng,"
she Insisted, ''for | never saw man so
earnest, so honest. so persistent in find
ing in one all the graces of womanklnd.
He did it so gracefully and SO charm
ingly. too, that really l have quite fallen
in love with him."
Wheelington coughed significantly and
laughed.
.sIndeed?n he said briefly.
TELL me-" she urged, now that's
real nice big brother" and she took his
hand caressingly in hers.
but didn't tell him anything" he
insisted, without making any violent
effort to take his hand away from hers.
''That u.s." he said after moment, mot
much"
'Oh. but it must have been a great
deal"
mo, it was only a word or two.'
"Pshaw." she exclaimed. snatching
him anything about me in word or
two which could possibly have had any
influence upon him."
sit seems, however, my dear Miss
Alexander, that l did," he said eXasper-
atingly.
She jumped mp from her chair and
walked across the piazza, where she
stood against the rail pulling honey
suckle to pieces.
"Row perfectly idiotic," she ex-
claimed, throwing the flower to the
floor. 'What was it?'
Il told him you were very rich"
She crushed the flower under her
foot and went into the house.

ONE OF MURRAY's STORIES.
How Russell Sage Drove Very
Shrewd Bargain.

Years ago, one day while at Red Wing
waiting for regular train to St. Paul,
a special train came along, carrying a
large number of the great railway mag
mates OF the day. amoAg whom were S.
S. Merrill, the general manager of the
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway COM
pany, and Russell Sage. Being at the
depot Merrill said Jump aboard"
which did. From Red Wing to ST.
Paul there was fund of stories and
revelry. Among other stories told
Merrill told the following OIL

of the railway running through

1t Sage. Some time after Russell Sage,
in special car, visited the village
He had hardly reached his hotel before
a committee of old settlers waited upon
him, congratulated him upon the fact
of the completion of the railroad and
upon the further fact that live and en-
terpriSing young town had been named
after him-Sage. An old fellow who
had lived about forty years down in
New England said that he and the gen.
tlemen who were with him had been
appointed committee by the citizens

that, in consideration of naming the
village Sage, whether he would not fur

Sage, after some thought, said: "Gen-
tlemen, will give you check for that
amount, but only on one condition, and
that is, you will say nothing about the
gift for the present; it must be
kept a profound secret" The old
chairman of the committee said: THAT

know how liberal you are, and that they
have lost nothing by naming this beauti-
full young city Sage" Why, Mr.. Sage,

A man was brought before a justice
in Illinois accused of criminal offense.
The prisoner pleaded guilty. but asked
the judge to suspend sentence until he

In the mean time the accused secured
