This is surely the Regis ter's day to weep. and 1t will appreciate the handkerchief which a few weeks ago 1t affected to fiout. There is a time to laugh and there is a time to weep.

I have seen him under fire many times. and he always manifested the same un- ilinching coolness. He would take great risks in order to get the best view of the army when engaged. have seen his aids gather a round him as though to shield their leader from the fire. They would often urge him to go back to a place of more safety. He would not have about his headquarters a man who was unable to listen to the storm of battle without getting nervous. At Spottsylvania court-house l saw the general exhibit his characteristic nerve. We were breaking camp under fire of rebel battery. All the office furniture had been moved except one camp stool. and General Grant was sit- ting on this, smoking. Captain Hudson, one of his aids, and myself were the only persons near the general. A bomb- shell had just exploded over our heads and one of the fragments had buried itself in the ground near the tent. l was digging out the piece of shell when the shrfek of another missile caused
 
 did not miss the generals head more than ten inches. The shell struck the ground about thirty feet away and rolled short distance. Speaking to his aid, the general said: Hudson, get that shell and lets see what kind of ammuni- tion, the enemy are using Captain Hudson got the she'll a six pound spher- ical case, and brought it to General Grant. He smoked lis cigar as calmly as though there had not been an enemy in a hundred miles of headquarters.
 "In the wilderness I saw an officer lose his head and dash up to General Grant In the widest excitement. The storm Of the battle was then terrific. A portion of the army was giving way in confusion. Brave men bore on their faces the expression of horror as the explosion of musketry and cannon shook that Virginia forest, and the prospect of disaster threatened the army The self-reliant soldier stood un- moved in the presence of his agitated associates.

1 GOOD START.

Hill and Tammany beaten! This glorious deed will clear up the situation amazingly and will cause many who had begun to despair of the Republic to take heart again. The awful revela- tions that have been made by the Lexow committee have made New York seem too bad to be purified, and only deserving of the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. But yesterdays work has shown that there are some righteous men left there, and good many voters who sympathize with righteousness. A good start toward cleaning up has been made.

THE WAY TO GIORY

A Republican senator and two Re- publican representatives elected in New Haven! Just think of it! This is indeed good measure, heaped up, pressed down and running over. It is almost too much to believe. But we shall all get used to it in a few days and then it will seem natural. New Haven will certainly be we'll represented in Hartford by Messrs. Johnson, Newton and Elliott. Two solid business men and a solid lawyer make good delegation. And what luck is theirs. They took the nomination as a duty they owed to their party, and they have found the path of duty the way to glory. We congratulate them and we congratulate their constituents. They will well look after New Havens inter- ests at the Capitol and they will take a prominent and useful part in the legis- lative work done this winter.

MORE THAN 4 LaNDSLIDE.

Those who made bold to talk about landslides and "sich" are fully justified
 There was not only landslide. There was a tornado, an earthquake, a cy- clone, blizzard and volcanic eruption of Republican votes. Although the re- turns could not all be got in last night owing to the condition of the tele- graph and telephone wires it is plain that the State ticket is elected by the people. It looks as if all four of the congressman were elected by the Repub- licans. They have seventeen or eighteen of the State senators and so many in the house that they will hardly know what to do with them. The way it happened was this: The Democratic vote fell off about third and the Republican vote fell on with all its strength. Hence the great victory and the exceeding joy.

braid with scalloped edge. It is worn inside the skirt and fastens in front. The skirt is banded around the hem with similar braid, and the epaulettes are trimmed with narrower sort.
 The proper street skirt just clears the ground all around. It sets out prettily at the back in four or five folds that are small at the top and widen at the foot. Though these folds sweep well out from the waist line in the back, they do not rest upon the ground. They are caught together by firm cording on the under side, three fin gers length from the belt. If caught just above this cording, the whole back of the skirt may be lifted over the curb, not ungracefully, all the folds coming together.
 The practicable silk petticoat is made of heavy taffeta, is set on a band and is cut good deal like an outer skirt, only not SO much like the bell in front. It has one or two ruffles of satin about the foot. For these the satin should be of good quality, and each ruffle is to be finished at the edge with three or four rows of narrow rib bon to match. The skirt must be short enough so that under no circumstances except tumbling down, will it touch the ground. Such a length brings it just about at the ankles. Over. this kind of a petticoat the outer skirt can be lifted with impunity, and when lifted one need have no further concern.

4 SiTISFrISG TRIUMPH.

We suppose that never in the history of this state has there been q more en- thus!astic, well planned and well di- rected campaign than that which has resulted in the election of the Hon. N. D. Sperry. His abundant triumph is very satisfying to all who worked for it, and it is very satisfying to all who wanted to see this district represented in congress by man who does not be- liieve in the doctrines which have been preached and practiced by the defeated Candidate.

cHINEsE MAID SERVANTS.
They arc Very Picturesque. Pleasing and

They arc Very Picturesque. Pleasing and Clever.
 Now the Chinese or Japanese maid
 servant is becoming fashionable on ac- count Of her picturesque possibilities. If she wears her native dress she is about as attractive as a fifteen-hundred- dollar vase or rare piece of bric-a- brae. Visitors like 10 look at her. and consequently the prettier and more graceful the girl the higher wages she can command. Long narrow eyes. thin. black brows and a clear complexion are the things desired. An Oriental girls hair is always shiny and we'll arranged. and everything about her is Invariably neat. A part Of her duties is attend ance at the door. This is where the spectacular feature counts. After the ring of the electric bell has died out there is a pattering of slippered feet. or the ciack of little Japanese wooden stilts. and the door swings back, re- vealing a small. brilliant figure, with a card tray concealed in the depths of her sleeve or kmono. It is all very fetching.
 Another function that the maiden from over the seas Is expected to per form Is serving o'clock tea. This Is peculiarly appropriate and lends an aroma to the beverage. It never seems the same afterward. when Q Gretchn, with face like platter, or Hibernian carries the tray The fad started In New York and has naturally reached its height in San Francisco, where the mis- sions are not able to supply the people who call upon them The missions, in fact. require references before they will allow their girls to go out. There is too much trouble in rescuing them to have them slip back again, as they are quite likely to do if they are not carefully watched. It will not do to give them the liberties that other serv- ing maids have, for they are like wax in the hands of designing people.
