MISSED THE HONOR.
The 31st Ohio Had Little Experience will
Gen. Morgan.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Wheeier's story OF the capture of his regi-
ment by the rebel Gen. Morgan in your
issue of Nov. 8 brought to mind little
matter of business between the 31st Ohio
and Morgan and his rough riders in Novem-
Der, 1862.
When Gen. ROsecrans was concentrating
the Army of the Cumberland at Nashville,
preparatory to the Stone River campaign,
Thomass old division, commanded by Gen.
Fry, was at Gallatin, Tenn.
The 3lst Ohio, commanded by Lieut.. Col.
Lister, was sent to Cages Ford on the Cum
berland, four or five miles south of Gallatn.
For some days the regiment camped Oh the
north side of the river just west of the ford,
where the river-bank was very high. Across
the river, on the south side, the bank was
low, and the bottomiand extended three
fourtbs of mile back.
To Col. Listers military eye this was the
very place for a camp and battle-ground /
might say here that Lister was thorough
and efficient drill-master and brave Off
Ger.
Well, we moved our camp across the river
which was shallow at the ford and were
fairly settled in our new quarters with
pickets well out to the front, and the in
genious cOmrade was making all sorts of
ornaments of the shells picked up along the
waters edge, and the hungry comrade was
kicking because we would not draw rations
till the next day, when some OF our pickets
came in with three men on horseback
dressed in Southern butternut.
The men on outpost said the trio came to
the picket-line beariiig n flag of truce, and
desiring to see the Commanding officer. /
think our visitors asked permission to send
the dead body of q certain Kentucky man
through our lines, that his friends might
give him burial. Whatever their mission
they soon left camp, and passed back beyond
our picket-l1ne. Van Horne in his history,
says they were the rebel Gen. Morgan and
his staff officers in disguise.
That night we moved back to our old
camp on the north side of the river. The
next morning our reveille was sounded by
rebel battery across the river, supported
by several thousand cavalry formed in a
semicircle, with each flank reaching the
river above and below the site of our camp
of the previous day.
Capt Cahill, with n strong force at the
ford, gave the rebel troopers warm recep-
ton. After firing few shells into our camp
the enemy Withdrew. SO Gen. Morgan
missed the honor of capturing us, and we
missed the glorious experience of travelling

In the Wilson tariff bill we find that
section 273 reads as follows:
Collars and cuffs and shirts and all
articles of wearing apparel of every de-
scription not specially provided for in
this act, composed wholly or in part Of
linen, and linen hydraulic hose, 30 per
cent ad valorem.

ticle of wearing apparel for Professor
Wilson. We must confess to degree of
ignorance as to the exact member of'the
body that hydraulic hose should en-
brace. AS it appears in close association
with "collars and cuffs and Shirts" it
might be regarded as a new species of
Cleveland collar. But we also find that
it is allied with 'all articles of wearing
apparel of every description" which in
wolves a greater degree of mystery.

THE YOUNG QUEEN VICTORIA.
Her Nfsjesty's Actions on Being Notified of

Her MaJesty's Actions on Being Notified of
the Kings Demise.
William Nv was dead. The arch
bishop of Canterbury and Lord Conyng-
ham were dispatched to inform the
Princess Victoria of the fact. 1t was
warm night in June. The princess was
sleeping in her mothers room, her GUS
tom from childhood, and had to be sum-
moned out of her sleep. The messen-
gers awaited her in the long, unlofty
room, separated only by folding doors
from that which was inhabited by the
Duchess of Kent and her daughter. The
young girl entered alone, in her night
dress, with some loose wrap thrown
hastily about her. The moment she was
addressed as Your majesty" she put
out her hand, intimating that the lords
who addressed her were to kiss it and
thereby do homage. Her schooling and
her instincts were admirable from the
first. Self possession combined with
perfect modesty came naturally to her.
A few hours later, at II o'clock in
the morning, the child queen met her
council. In the corridor at Windsor
there is picture which commentaries
the event. Never, it has been said by
an eyewitness, was anything like the
first impression she produced or the
chorus of praise and admiration which
was raised about her manner and be-
havior, certainly not without justice.
Her extreme youth and inexperience
and the ignorance of the world concern
Ing her-for she had lived in complete
seclusion-excited interest and curios-
ity.
Asked whether she would enter the
room accompanied by the great officers
of state, she said she would come in
alone. Accordingly when all the lords
Of the Wivy council were assembled the
folding doors were thrown open, and
the queen entered, quite plainly dressed
and in mourning, and took her seat for
the first time, young girl among a
crowd of men, including al the most
famous and powerful OF her subjects
She bowed and read her speech, handed
to her by the prime minister, Lord Mel
bourne, in a clear and firm voice and
then took the oath for the security OF
the Church OF Scotland.
Immediately the privy councillors
were sworn, the royal Dukes of Cum
berland and Sussex first by themselves.
It was observed that as these two old
men, her uncles, knelt before her, swear
ing allegiance, she blushed up to the
eyes, as if she felt the contrast between
their civil and natural relations. Her
manner was very graceful and engag-
ing, and she kissed them both. and ris-
Ing from her chair moved toward the
Duke of Sussex, who was too infirm to
reach her.--Fortnightly Review.

A veil must be bought with the idea
at its becomingness first and its fashion
second. Try it before a glass when pur-
chasing. A lightly dotted veil Is more
becoming than plain net. When black

black and white solid colors. A golden

D very f1attering VEIL A fine net, hav-
Ing jet or iridescent beads, is another
"face improver;" also tiny mesh,
having lace or applique figures and a
border. Borders are very stylish, but
must be worn correctly. Put the bor-
der below the chin.
Blond lace has been restored to favor
and is thought to be the most elegant
among the laces shown In wells.
The edge of blond lace wells shows

tern. With large hats it is adjusted SO
