A WASTED SUMMER.

She has danced and fiirted at mountain hotels
And at numerous seaside hops.
she has frightened her cheeks with tho hue of
health
That girl can't buy ut the shops.
Sho has yachted and boated and driven and
bathed
In costumes delightful to see.
But alas! all the youths that have been intro
duced
Have gone away fancy free.
She has sat in dark cornors-not quito alone
With the moon shining in through the vines.
Sho has been out driving with lazy young men
Who have lot her control tho lines
Sho has played croQuct till tho stars came out:
But in spite of the ankles neat,
That she daintily showed at times, no youth
Has knelt at her little feet.
Sho has come back home. now tho summer has
gone,
And she's 'had n delightful timc,"
Sho says, but she's thinking, oh! dreadful
thoughts,
That never could put in rhyme.
For tho summer has gone. and tho husband
shc thought
She might capture has not been Gagged.
She has done her best, but-bother it all
She hasn't como homo engaged.

pursuers gave way. Kester then looked
around for his supporting squadrons and
found that he was entirely alone with
skirmish line of $50 men to oppose whole
brigade of Confederates under General Ros-
ser. Only the color guard of dozen men,
clustered about the flag in the roadway,
represented the reserve TO $50 skirmishers
The colonel formed this slender guard,
and with q brilliant flourish of the colors
dashed along the pike. When abreast OF
the skirmishers on either side OF the road,
the thin ranks advanced on line with the
nag, firm and unbroken, through scatter
ing hail of canister from Rosser's horse
batteries until they struck solid array of
dismounted men, behind which the fleeing
Confederate troopers were rallying. Be
fore the Jersey skirmishers could rally
from their surprise at the discovery, o Con-
federate cavalry regiment swung out from
their shelter and charged on the center of
Kester's line. Back went the skirmishers,
flag and all, through broad piece of
woods where Hart had first started up the
Seventh Virginia, to slender line Of sup
ports that had been hastily sent to Kester's
aid. A volley from those welcome sup
ports put check on Rossers mad ride,
and instantly the bearer of the Jersey col
ors, Sergeant James Dalziel, wheeled
about and rode at the enemy full tilt. The
Jersey skirmishers on either side of the
road caught sight Of the banner streaming
to the front again. On over the same
ground, through the same woods, dotted
here and there with the dead bodies and
fallen steeds of Jerseymen and Virginians,
the skirmishers once more pursued up to
the Confederate cannon and line of battle
A fresh body of Rosser's men answered
the challenge by n countercharge, and the
Jerseys again sullenly retired. Farther
back they were driven this time, often at a
gallop, until once more they were covered
by supporting comrades The moment the
whole line had come to halt and again
faced about, Dalziel lifted the staff on high,
and with O tremendous flourish of the ban

FROM THE GULF STATES.
Loss Of Lie Now Placed at From Twelve 10
Fourteen Hundred.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-The first load OF
passengers on the Louisville and Nash
willie road arrived last night from the
coast on small boat, which made the
trip from Bay st. Louis This boat also
brought delayed account Of Ne storm.
The following is from the correspondent
at Mississippi City;
The waters of the gulf came up higher
than was ever known. From Henderson's
Point on the south to Dubuy's on the north,
not a vestge of wharf OF a bathhouse
can be seen.
With the information that reached the
city from Grand Isle, Chenere, Canaan.
ada, IL Is now estimated that between ll0
and 400 lives were lost, and damage to the
extent of over 81 200, ,OO0 has been done to
property by the late storm.
In the Point La Hache district the
death list has been swollen to 50, and
searching parties are still out.
Around She'll Beach and Malo Isle the
list OF dead is in the neighborhood OF 80.
1t is pretty we'll determined that the
loss of life in the Bayou Cook country
will approach 300. Scores of fishing
smacks aud luggers have been destroyed,
and the country swept clean OF its houses.
Reliable news from Grand Isle give the
loss of life there as Is, all colored.
The Cheniere population was 400 aud
the loss there is somewhat between 500
and 1000.
1t is fair u estimate, therefore, that be
tween 100 and 400 persons perished in
the storm. The property loss will be more
than "A million
There was 800 or 400 crafts engaged In
the oyster and fish industry aud one-third
or half of these have been wrecked, turned

MITCHELL ON REPEAL.

Washington, Sept 12.-Stewart's reso-
luton for committee to ascertain
whether any senator is financially in
terested in national bank, went over
till tomorrow. The repeal bill was taken
up. Mitchell Of Oregon, addressed the
senate against the bill.
Mitchell favored free coinage and
while he would be willing as last re-
sort to change the ratio in order to Sc
cure free coinage, he believed 1t should
be decreased to 15lA to 1. Mitchell dwelt
upon the surprising Importance of the
question which confronted congress and
discussed the causes which produced
the recent distress in the condition of
the country. He maintained that the
Sherman law was in no degree respon-
sible for it, and, yet the repeal was to
be brought about because of the clamor
from the banking interests. There was
no danger of the United States becom-
ing the dumping ground for foreign
silver. 1t was needed for money pur-
poses, and could not be spared. Mitchell
referred to the disastrous effects of
the depreciation of silver on the inter-
ests of the farmers. The money chang
ers of Lombard street and unconscious
able gamblers of Wall street waited
with i'll concealed anxiety the result of
the vote that. would Increase by half
the purchasing power of gold and cut
down in like proportion the price of ev-
cry agricultural commodity produced in
this country.
The vice president laid before the SEN
ate today letter from the treasury de-
partment in relation to the redemption
of silver certificates. 1t Is stated that
81, ,27S,267 in notes provided by the Sher-
man act were, redeemed in silver coin
during August, 1898; that $174O61, ,242
Coinage valuD of silver bullion pur-
chased under that act and subject to
coinage is now held in the treasury. He
also read letter from the secretary of
the treasury stating that there was
available on the 7th inst. for enforce
ment of the Chinese exclusion act, $685.
