Der of women to make its appearance on
the streets no longer matter for public
marveling. The rapidity with which new
ideas are assimilated in these revolutionary
times is shown by the fact that today a
woman in trousers riding wheel excites
little or no comment, while three years
ago woman in ordinary street costume
on bicycle was liable to be Kissed and
hOoted at in the city streets. That men
and women alike have the right to dress
as they choose, so long as they keep within
the bounds of decency, is truth that is
at last becoming recognized. 1t Is curl
Gus thing that prejudices in regard to ar
ticles of food and fashions of clothing are
harder to overcome than those concerning
the vital interests of humanity. AS limo
walton is the ruling spirit of the age, how
ever, it is to he hoped that we shall soon
become so Injured to novelty as to drop all
attempts to coerce our neighbor in respect

made of lightweight cloth. The first con-
sits Of round waist and full skirt, the
latter ending midway between the knee

worn. The second suit is less conven-
tional, zouave trousers taking the place Of
q skirt and belted tunic falling half
way to the knee, forming the upper gar
ment. Buttoned leggings and low shoes

spirits vainly look for when war comes to
be narrowed down to the monotonous evo-
buttons and ceaseless volleyiug of great bat
tlefeds
Burnsde's army captured Newbern In
March, 1862, and began to subjugate the
surrounding coast country. Fort Macon,
on the Atlantic, southeast. was besieged by
a single division, but the country west of
it and south of Newbern, ON Trent and
White Oak rivers, was open to the Confed-
crates thus exposing the 80 miles of road
between Newbern and Fort Macon, be-
tween the main army and the detachment
of besiogers, to raids by the enemy caval-
~. Burnside was without cavalry. On
the 18th of April detachment of 200 pick
ed men of the One Hundred and Third New
York left Newbern equipped for light
marching and under orders to make wide
scout southwestward along Trent river two
marches, thence southeast to and along
White Oak river to its mouth, three march
e., and northeast along the coast two
marches to Fort Macon. They were eX-
pected to fight their way through all oppo-
sition and live off the country. The recon-
noissance was led by Colonel Baron Egg
loffstein, European soldier, and the
rank and fle comprised chiefly trained
men of arms belonging to the Corps
d'Elite, the Grenadiers and the German Ri
fles. The commander of the Corps d Elite,
Captain Langner, was Prussian veteran,
and his next in rank, Lieutenant Martinez,
earned his spurs on the staff of Garibaldi.
The party fell in with Confederate scouts
as soon as it reached the open country.
Tho citizens were in league with the enc
my and helped to ambush the invaders. In
retaliation the baron seized men and cat
tie and sent them back to Newbern under
guard, thereby aruusing the country ahead
of him and also depicting his force. On
the 18th of April the expedition crossed
White Oak river and took up quarters for
the night Mt the house of Thomas Gillett.
The place was inclosed by high palings,
and the house stood in the center of the
yard. On one side the inclosure was flank.
ed by stables and other outbuildings. A
broad private lane extended from the mair
county road to the front of the house. Sen
tries were placed at the gate and at inter
walls along the palings.
The baror's men had every reason to
keep a sharp lookout for surprising parties,

the Carolina troopers disclosed themselves
TO the baron's pickets, who quickly stole
away to report their discovery without
alarming the assailants. The Carolinians
up to the last moment counted upon sur
prise. Colonel Robinson separated his men
into three storming parties, who were to
congregate in the lane and at a signal burst
through the fences to the assault. One
party was to gallop directly to the front Of
the house and the others to ride on right
and left circuits to the rear. The signal to
start would come from an, advance party
of six men sent forward to draw off the
guards in front, but at the entrance to the
laue-the cavalcade standing in line back
on the road-a solitary sentinel was found
pacing his beat, unmindful of danger, If
not unconscious of 1t. A shot rang out on
the quiet air, and the sentinel fell dead.
The Carolina troopers were novices, too
impatient to maneuver and silence that
vedette. Their shot removed a soldier, but
itwarned the baron 5 men that the pickets
who had abandoned the outposts in the
face of advancing cavalry had not beer
scared over shadows. The Grenadiers,
Elites and Rihemen stood to arms, and ev.

over 100 yards from the front yard fencs
when the signal shot came many minutes
ahead of time. Colonel Robinson echoed
the alarm by sounding the charge, but
only a handful were ready, and the lead

so as to break his neck and kill him at
once. An ordinary halter is put on the

Itseems extremely probable that, among
the other innovations for which the intro

classified the adoption by women of the
divided skirt. Heretofore there have been
numerous tentative efforts by ladies with
advanced ideas toward a change from the
ordinary garment, the first achievements
bringing up abruptly in the bloomer, the
Turkish trousers and others. But the
bloomer was too ugly for serious consider

practicable. The consequence has been
