When I'm with her.
The sky Is arched with deeper blue.
The flowers are dccl;ed in richer hue,
And glad fields seem to smile anew
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her,
More gentle is the murmur of the brook,
More sweet the songs from dell and nook
And ever glad is life's old story book
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her
The sunset paints bright sky,
The distant ships quiet nj anchor lie,
And hours like moments hurry by
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her,
The moonbeams fall in softer light,
The bright stars laugh upon Il perfect night
And oil the world is filed with truth and right
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her,
My hayward heart seems nearer Dure
or God and future then I'm almost sure.
And naught from right can me allure
When I'm with her.
But sometimes think when the heart in the
breast
Is sick with it's sorrow an grievin,
II things never happen ut ali "for tho hest
We can make 'em the best by baiievin!

Finally the horses were all shot down
and the line was compelled to retreat
under the whitening fire. Shelby, reel
ing in his saddle from the loss of
blood through an artery severed at the
wrist, called for volunteers to save
Collins guns. At the cry the battery
is in danger, hundreds of the troopers
turned back. Shelby said: Fifty, only
fiftyi Bring the battery back or re-
main yourselves. Collins and his lieu
tenants were still fighting bravely but
bopelessly The dead horses were cut
away, ropes attached and the guns
dragged back safely to the lines. Fiji
teen only of those fifty volunteers got
out unscathed and twenty remained
where they fell.

LADIES OF THE HAREM.

Among the modern Mohammedan peo-
pies the harem has attained its most per-
rect development. The haremS of the
turkish sultan and Persian shah are the
most elaborate and best known. Accord
ing TO the Koran, a Musselman may have
four wives and a sultan seven. Each of
these has her suite of apartments and
own corp of servants These wives are
not distinguished by their names, but are
mum bered.
me title of suitana is given only to the
mother, sister or daughters of the sultan.
ana consequently can be obtained only
heir to the empire. She also obtains the
title of kasseky. but loses it if the child
dies All the female slaves or odalisks
are at the absolute disposal of the sultan.
the mother of the first born she is adj
vanced to the rank of kasseky, in spite
OF the natural Indignation of the wives.
A very large body of eunuchs, both white
and black, are employed about the harem.
The white eunuchs have charge of the
outer gates of the palace, but are not al
lowed to approach the women's apart
ments, while the black eunuchs have the
right to enter the gardens and chambers.
Their chief is an official of high import
ance. He superintends all the affairs OF
the harem, and is almost continually at
the side of the sultan. The sultana valide
the Sultan'S mother, who is of great i'm
portance-and the kasseky, or mother of
the first born, each has fifty at her ser
vice, while the rest are divided among
the other wives
! The ex-khedive Tsmail of Egypt, who
recently died, had more than 500 women
in his harem at Cairo. When he abdi-
! Gated and left Egypt in 1879 for Naples,
| he took with him twenty-eight wives and
a great number of servants His successor
and son had only one wife and the pres
ent khedive married a slave. The mother
of the khedive is the first lady of the
| state and takes precedence OF his wives
| and daughters, who are called princesSeS.
She is beautiful, highly accomplished and
speaks four languages. She dresses in
European style.
Though the women have particular
portion of the khedive's house allotted to
tnem they cannot be regarded as pris-
oners, for they are at liberty to go out
/ tors. No man but the khedive and near
| est male relative is ever allowed in the
harem If one of the ladies is ill., the
| physician is called before curtained bed
and, if he must count her pulse, a eunuch
covers her hand and arm. If she suffers
| from smallpox, a eunuch counts the
marks and reports TO the physician
| Poiygamy is more rare among the mid
die classes. The very poor take many
wives, who support themselves by work
| ing; the rich can afford the expense of
| taking care of them, but the middle
| classes who will not allow their wives to
work are deferred by the EXP ense which
would be incurred at each new wifes ar
rival in the family.
| The upper class women spend their time
bathing, smoking, drinking coffee and
sherbet, making music and visiting.

CEREMONY OF RECEIVING AN AM
BASSADOR.

The ceremony observed in receiving
minister is briefly this: On a day ap-
pointed by the president the new min
lister drives with his secretaries and
attaches to the state department, and
is thence escorted by the secretary OF
state TO the executive mansion and con-
Quoted to the blue room. The secre-
tary then goes to the presidents office
and advises him that the minister is in
waiting. The president, on the arm of
the secretary, then proceeds to the
blue room, and, the minister and his
suite standing. the secretary intro
duces the minister, who, after bowling,
proceeds to read his address, and at
the proper time hands to the president
his letters of credence, which are i'm
med.ately passed 10 the secretary OF
state. When the address of the mini
lister has been read the president reads
his reply, and after a few moments
spent in entirely informal conversation
retires with the secretary, who, return
ing, conducts the minister from the
executive mansion.-Ex- President Har-
rison in July Ladies' Home Journal.

and on both sides of it the country was

there steep hillside doomed before
us, and the thicket and trenches in
front were alive with sharpshooting
rif1emen.
The three regiments of the brigade
charged on both sides of the road, and
soon after daylight had carried four
lines of rife pits. But there had been
no attack at any other point. The day
was frightfully hot and our poor fell
lows soon began to drop from heat and
exhaustion, as well as from Yankee
bullets. The guns on Graveyard Hill
were abreast of us and poured their
shots among our scatterd men. 1t was
with relief that we saw Prices line
march to the assault of that battery
and as they did so we rallied for one
more charge on the last remaining rife
pits on Hindman Hill. That we carried

but that of the fort itself, which was
Fashioned, raked the walls and our men
were terribly repulsed. There was no
hope but surrender, and our sharp
shooters, back in the rear, shot down
every man who attempted to go into
the enemy's lines. So we were between
two fires. We might have been saved
yet, had not Prices men made a ter
rible blunder. They were ordered to
carry Graveyard Hill, which they did

GEORGE L. KILMER.
ENGLISH BISHOPS ARE SLEEK.

They Have the Best Things of Life
and Seem to Enjoy Them.
The sleekest thing that I have ever
seen is a bishop of the Anglican
church. A temporal peer carries the
world on his shoulders with wonderful
grace and nonchalance, yet he is
clumsy beside my lord the bishop.
Bishops are apparently selected for
their general beauty. L am sure that
a bow-legg'ed clergyman, did he pos
Sess the intellect of Leo XIII, could
never sit in the house Of lords. Bow
legs in black knickerbockers are too
repellant The bishops are almost in
variably large men with little TUFTS
of hair in front of their ears and
beautiful white shaver shins. They
wear a huge high hat with little
rosette in front. AS it is becoming only
to a man with a large head and large
features, the bishops have large heads
and large features. All have pro-
foundry vacant stare. set off, in some
instances, by a monocle They cannot
be overworked or else they could not
look so healthy and robust. Bishops of
70 years of age without a line of care
on their faces. 1t is as much a re-
quirement for a bishop to be robust
and handsome as for a curate to be
lean and insignificant and cadaverous.
When the bishops in their white
gowns sit on the red cushions of the
house of lords they make a beautiful
pic1ure-the finest specimens of physi-
cal manhood in England set in a suit
able background. The temporal peers
look quite insignificant beside them.
They are as SLY as learned, and when
it comes to neat political maneuvers
they put Lord Salisbury in the shade.
1t seldom happens that more than four
or five are present at once, but the
other day no less than twelve were
ranged on the crimson cushions, more
than were present at the reading of
! the queens speech. Their smiles were
innocent and benign. Lord Grim
thorpe said that they had come pur-
posely to oppose his amendment to
prevent the churches and chapels of
the Church of England from being
used for the solemniZation of the mar
rage of any person who had been di-
! vorced on the ground of adultery.
The archbishop of Canterbury arose
and, in dignified sweetness and sur
