CHARGE OF CAPTAIN ALGER's COLUMN.
a moment Sheridan feared the result as
time passed and no signal came from
across the lines to show that Alger had
begun his work But true to the principle,
when in doubt, go ahead" he ordered
his whole line forward.
Luckily at that moment an engine with
two carloads of grain rolled into the station
close at hand and pulled up with grand
flourish of whistles The troops took that
for a signal that re-enforcements had come.
Inspired with the hope Of aid, they charged
with a wild cheer all along the line, and
Chalmers men broke before their fury and
the timely fire in the rear by Ayers he

mers army to the main road which bsect-
ed his line, and down that his men gal
loped, sabering and shooting the amazed
Confederates and adding to the rout caused
by Sheridan's bold attack in front. 1t was

Rosecrans, the commander of the Army
of the Mississippi to which Sheridan's bri-
gade belonged, telegraphed to department
headquarters the message: More cavalry
massed under such an officer would be Of
great use to us. Sheridan ought to be made
a brigadier. He would not be a stampeding
general. HE is worth his weight in gold, -
was the cliuching sentence of another mes

generals joined and forwarded to Washing.

The strictest etiquette forbids casual So
cial introductions or the introducing Of
any two people at any time without the
consent of both parties. 1t is argued that
people who meet in drawing room rs fel-
low guests are introduced 10y that mere fact
sufficiently for the social purposes of the
hour, and they may engage in conversation
if they choose without the least hesitancy
both understanding that this interchange
involves no acquaintance beyond the pres
ent occasion. BY this arrangement an
awkward silence is averted, and it GER
tainly seems as if the chief argument in
favor of introducing people is met,
since, with 1.-THE roof as their transient
introduction, they are perfectly at ease
without personal introductiOns
When people are used to this idea, it il
altogether the most sensible and agreeable
solution of the question, but many social
