ram from a CIoudiess SKY.

ltappsars that rain can fall from cloud
less sky This is true of thin drizzle
which falls In France, known as "serein."
As the atmosphere looks quite clear when
it falls, the probability Is ell in favor of
the moisture having been brought by the
wind at great elevation. In the island
Of Mauritius the phenomenon is by no
means uncommon during the prevalence of
southeast winds, slight showers falling IN
cloudless evenings when the stars are shin
ing brightly There the rain Is thought to
be due to invisible vapor In the upper
reaches Of the atmosphere, being condensed
at once and falling in drops without pass
ing through the intermediate stage of
cloud. Ross said that in the south Allan
tic it rained on one occasion for upward of
an hour while the sky was altogether free
from clouds Says Genoese naturalist,
The night was clear, the stars were shin
ing with their accustomed brilliancy, when
shower of rain, consisting of large luke
warm drops, fell during six minutes upon
the town" similar view was once OBJ
served at Constantine, in Algeria, about
noon, the sky being all the time a splendid
blue. Some believe that these showers are
the result of particles OF ice formed in the
higher regions melting and falling, while
others attribute them TO currents of warm
and cold air travelling in opposite direo
lions, with the result that the latter con
denses some Of the moisture IN the former
and causes 1t to fall.-Brooklyn Eagle.

THE STRUGGLE AT THE REAR GATE.
because after the column abandoned Trent
river and turned south Confederate scouts
and pickets were encountered at every farm
and crossroad. Some ran away, and few
surrendered. 1t would have been marvel
GUS had no one sent news to the enemy's
camp Of this bold expedition, marching
without supports or means of summoning
help. The opportunity was tempting, and
the blow was struck. On the day the bar
on invited his Grenadiers and Elites to
make themselves at home on Gillett's plan
tation, guided thereto through the swamps
by negro, Colonel William g.. Robinson
of the Second North Carolina cavalry was
ordered on the warpath with detachment
of 200 troopers.
Robinson was an old cavalryman of
the plains and had married the daughter
of Captain Alexander McRae, one of the
heroes of the regular army who fell at Va
verde, n. NJ. McRae was killed in pistol
duel waged at arms length over a gun he
was defending. His antagonist was for
mer messmate. The firing was simulta-
neous, and both were shot dead. With a
record Of that kind in the family, Colonel
Robinson was not the one TO mince mat
tiers, however desperate the chances The
night was cloudless and lit by a full moon.
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 a 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
Iane-the cavaloade standing in line bach
on the road-a solitary sentinel was found
pacing his beat, unmindful of danger, ii
not unconscious of it, 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
yedette. Their shot removed soldier, but
IL warned the baron Is men that the pickett
who had abandoned the outposts in the
face of advancing cavalry had not been
scared over shadows. The Grenadiers,
Elites and Rihemen stood to arms, and ev.
cry motion of Robinson's men passed un.
der their eyes. The cavalcade was halted
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 handful were ready, and the lead
ing troop galloped into the lane with but
a fraction of its numbers in line Headed
by the captain and lieutenant, they dashed
up to the front gate. A sergeant and half
q dozen men of the baron's Corps d Elite
met them and received one round Of shots
without flinching though the odds were
three to one. The assailants looked around
for their fellows and saw that the lane was

A Flag Of Truce.

amusing instance Of the beggared con-
dition ip which soldiers Of the field
are sometimes found than that given
years ago by General Gordon in an
account of various scenes connected
with the surrender OF Lees army,
SAYS the Youths Companion.
When General Gordon determined
to send flag OF truce to General
Sheridan, he summoned Major Hunter
of his staff, and ordered him to carry
a flag OF truce forward.
General, / have no flag Of truce,
replied Major Hunter.
Get one" said the General, curtly.

At last one man was found who still
had white shirt; part OF it wa
torn of, and with the remarkable
emblem tied on stick the Major went
forward toward the eDemy's lines.
