And the Court Circular and The
Morning Post announce that a daugh-

And the young heir and his sister
look wondering when they are told
there is a little baby sister come; and
think there is another doll to play

one.
And not so very far from the West

MOTLEY UNIFORMS OF 1861.
Gorgeous Apparel Of the Troops at the
Beginning of the War.

The CALI to arms of 1861 found in
the United States a number of militia
regiments and innumerable volunteer
organizations whose uniforms were as
fanciful and varied as could we'll be
conceived, being fashioned after the
pattern of almost every known mill
tary type IN Europe, from the highland
costume Of the famous British infantry
to the hybrid, circuslike, useless dress
of the French zouave and the bandit
like clothing of the Sandman ber-
sagiieri. France had two years before
beaten Austria, and there was a sort
Of French military craze on us just
then. and our soldier boys affected
their style. England had just decided
that gray was the best and most SER
viceable color that could be adopted
for the uniform of her volunteers, and
many state troops and local companies
were clad in that color.
But each corps dressed according to
its own fancy. and the frOck coat, the
swallow tailed coat, the jacket, the
blouse. appeared in all varieties of
shape and color, headdresses in equal
variety, black belts, white belts, all
sorts of accouterments could be seen

most needful then and now-uniform-
ity. This. thanks to hard, practical
experience. was developed later on in
the war, but the first months found the
boys in a very motley if gay and
state Of affairs applied equally to the
military organizations Of the southern
states, and though perhaps the high

extent the zouave certainly did

Mary Meyers, 81 years of age, was ar

noon by Policeman Harper on two charges
of assault to kill. The complaining wit
nesses were Eugene n. Fritz and his wife,
who live on the southwest corner OF
Frederick street and Masonic avenue.
Mary was cook for the Fritz family, but
on Monday last she was discharged by Mr..
Fritz because she was suffering from an
over-indulgence in liquor.

members of the family became seriously i'll.
a physician was summoned and he de-
clared the patients were suffering from
arsenic poison. The usual remedies were
promptly administered, and the family
was in few hours pronounced out of
danger.
Yesterday Mr.. Fritz obtained warrants
in Judge Joachimsen's court for Mary's
arrest on the charge of assault to kill, as he
and his wife believe that the discharged
cook had put arsenic in the flour with the
fell purpose of poisoning the family.
Mary denied that she attempted to poi
son the family. 81 complained to Mr.
Fritz, said she, "about the mice getting
into the drawer where the flour was kept,
and he bought small box of Rough on
