The Popular Lancers.

The lancers are much the mode this
season. The reason for this is that all
sorts Of novel additions are being intro
duced, which make the dance both
amusing and picturesque. In one Of
these new features each couple carries a
pole Of bamboo, at the top Of which is
a forked pennant Of gay colored silk OF
in its stead long streamers of bright
ribbons are used. The young man who,
with a fair partner, figures in the
leading couple" has silver whistle
attached to a ribbon which crosses his
shoulders This whistle sounds as the
music strikes up, and it is the signal
for the lifting of the lances. In every
alternate figure the 1anccs are carried
by the young women. After all the fig
ures have been gone through the dan

"About O'Clock. under a general as

Of Ames' staff had partially recovered
from the effects Of the wound received
early i'll the fight and was at the front
with the men who reached the battery
first. He received from the fallen lead
ers word that they would surrender the
fort and all it's forces, and to him the
surrender was made about $3.50 o'clock.
This was announced by General Ames
to his men, who received it with cheers.
He then signaled it to the fleet, and

hours to attack the enemy. He is strong,
well equipped and not deficient in cour-
age, but l intend that you ride down
his infantry and scatter his battalions
by the splendor Of your charge. You

your hearts for the onset. 1t will be des-

1t was no meaningless figure Of speech
when Shelby spoke Of riding down"
the enemy. He always took his horse
battery up to the front line. "Charge
when charged" was his favorite order
to the cannoneers. The captain of his
battery was young Missourian named
Collins, who had served in Shelby's first
company. Collins would often dash
ahead of the column, seize a good posi-
ton and open OH everything in sight. If
repulsed i'll their charge, the troopers
would rally behind the guns. The bat
terry became pet of the brigade because
the guns were always ON hand. At the

countercharge. His horses were all shot
down, and the troopers were driven back
by a terrible fire. Shelby had been
struck and was reeling in his saddle
when word reached him that the battery
was in danger of capture. Hundreds Of
troopers turned back, but Shelby said:
"Fifty-only sol Bring the battery
with you or remain yourselves. The
dead horses were cleared away, ropes
attached and the guns dragged off safely
to the lines. Fifteen only Of the 90 vol

killed, but the loss fell on over 200 men.
Collins mustered, all told, only 81 men.
Including the wounded, which were 30,
the casualties numbered 90, almost 60
per cent. The proportion of killed to
wounded, 81 to 20, tells story of bloody
work. 1t is almost three times as great
as the average. The figures are all the
more astounding because the losses were
incurred in cavalry combats, and in
struggling border warfare at that.

sand foes that there was no escape but
by retreat His brigade numbered 80
companies, and these were stationed on
both sides Of the road, some distance
apart. When the Federal head of column
marched up, it would be met by sting
ing volley fired at point blank range.
After volley this company broke to the
rear and galloped back to a new position
behind the other 30 companies, and thus
running fight could be kept up for
miles, with little loss to the retreating
ranks. Blunt afterward told Shelby, I'M
der flag of truce, that he lost $50 Of
his best men that day. Said he: ST don't
understand your fighting. When 1 broke
one line, another met me, another, an
other and still another, until the woods
seemed full of soldiers and the air dark
with bullets.
AS agile as Cossacks, as fleet as Bed
ouins and as stealthy as Indians when
engaged in wild mountain warfare, these
rough riders Of Shelby's had the mettle
of true soldiers in direct attack. The
leader favorite command was, ATTACK
everything in sightr" He always rode
with his advance guard, which was an
institution in itself, being specially re-
cruited for the purpose from scouts and
border men. The motto was "Never Re-
treat" and it soon became an honor for
a man to be promoted from the line into
the advance corps. Shelby possessed ev-
cry qualification for rallying to his col
ors the most daring spirits in the west.
He was of that class known as "hus-
tiers and boomers, - full to bursting
with action and enthusiasm.
Men who rode with him say that
when going in on charge his long,
overgrown brown imperial and fair hair
streamed out behind as conspicuous in
battle as the plumed helmet of Navarro
One after another his horses were killed
under him, until he had lost four, all
sorrels. He said that that was an omen
of luck, and he would never ride any
but sorrels. When he received his star
as brigadier general in the Confederate
army he celebrated it by issuing a STIR
ring war order. "Soldiers of Shelby's
