1t is a familiar fact that fishes can
change their colors at will. Many fishes
make remarkable changes. Free swim

their normal colors, though these fishes
can change. The fishes that change most
are the bottom feeders. For their own
protection from other fishes that would
prey upon them and the better to enable
them themselves to capture food these

'S~S'N 1T covered Itself
with glory and
scars by charging and capturing nine
pieces Of Federal artillery at Gaines
Mill. The glory con sisted in the trophies
Of the battlefield.
The regiment was then in brigade
with Hoods Texans, famous band of
fighters that carried Off the honors that
day by piercing the Federal center and
deciding the battle. Hoods charge at
Gaines Mill WAS the first brilliant and
successful feat Of the kind on the bat
tlefields Of the Potomac The day was
going against Lee when the Texans We're
ordered in to start something. Every
where in Lees front We're lines of breast
works and batteries planted upon
ridges, only to be approached across
wide and swampy ravines. In front of
Hood at the bottom bed Of a ravine ran
a deep creek with scarped banks an
swering admirably for ditch. Beyond
it was a breastwork heavily Manned
and above that near the crest another
breastwork manned with infantry and
several we'll served guns. The slope was
covered with thin timber, screening the
Federals from view, but enabling them
to see the charging enemy.
Led by Hood in person, the Fourth
Texas and Eighteenth Georgia together
rushed on through the ravine over
ditch and breastwork up the hill into
the batteries and swarming infantry,
but leaving bloody trail behind them.
Colonel Marshall Of the Fourth was
killed instantly, but General Hood and
Colonel Ruff OF the Eighteenth Georgia
escaped. Fourteen cannon were cap
tured in the charge, and nine Of them
credited to the Georgians.
Gaines Mill might have had differ
ent history if the attack of Hood at the
center had been delayed or had failed.
Re-enforcements for the Federal line
were within hail, but the rush of the
Texans over the works in full view of
the army almost caused a panic, for the
Federals We're largely outnum beced all
over the field.
The Eighteenth was spared further
slaughter throughout the seven days
battles, although it was engaged several
times. Its next bloody affair was with
the Texans at second Manassas. In that
battle Hood commanded one Of Long
streets divisions and was in the thick
of the fighting which saved jackson
from destruction on Aug. 20 and 80.
Overboldness had placed Jackson i'll a
trap, and Longstreet saved him on both
days. After dark set in on the goth the
regiment, led by Colonel Wofford,
charged a ravine held by Hatch's bri-
gade, drove the enemy and captured
trophy in the shape of battleflag be-
longing to the Twenty fourth New
York.
Next day came the tug of war to de-
eide who should hold Manassas. Jack
son was being overwhelmed by Pope
and Fitz-John Porter's corps came up
on the flank Of jackson to give the fin
fishing stroke when Hoods division, led
by the Texan brigade, dashed into the
flank Of Porter. The Georgians ran
against the Tenth New York sc-1auas,

No Disposition ON the Part Of the
Government to Protract the
Closing Of the Unpleasant Incl
dent - President Shows Little
Personal Concern in the Matter
Will Not Pursue de Lone In Any
Personal Spirit-The Affair Now
Regarded rs Settled.

Washington. Feb. 13.-The personal
incident growing out of the publication
of Senior Dupuy Gle Lome's letter to
Senior Canalejas may be regarded as
settled. This has been brought about
by the short telegram sent by Minister
Wo0dford from Madrid, in which he
states that the minister had resigned
and his resignation had been accented
before he (INoodford) presented the
request Of the United States that he be
recalled. The officials here feel an
interest in learning the details of the
happenings in Madrid and are watt
ing for Mr.. Woodford's promised full
report. But unless this should contain
some statement that is not now expect
ed. there is no disposition on the part
of the government to protract the clos
ing of this unpleasant incident, and it
is not expected that anything in the
nature of demand for an apology will
be made. II graceful disclaimer
should come, that will be taken in the
spirit in which it is made; otherwise
the matter will be dropped and the re-
lations between the state department
and the Spanish legation will run
smoothly once more through the medi.

tary and now charge d'affaires. 1t
can be said for the president that he
shows little personal concern in the
matter as 1t stands, and is not disposed
to pursue Mr.. De Lone in any person

head Of the administration, the end Of
the affair may be said to have been
reached.

Picking, Feb. 13.-China has consent
ed to the British demand for a rail-
way from Burmah to Humankind.
She also agrees to indemnify the kid
mapped Frenchman. Germany has Sc
cured q concession for a railway from
Kiao Chou to Ychau as the price of the

Next month the Chinese board Of
revenue will pay salaries, half in sycee
and half in dollars, owing to the search
ty of copper coin. This is the first oc-
casion of of payment in dollars, but
the precedent is likely to be followed,
and will thus introduce an extensive
use Of coined money. A decree has

tion I'm New York.
New York, Feb. 13.-Levi p Nor
tons seven-story Office building with
frontages on Nassau and Ann streets,
and known as the Nassau chambers
building, was completely destroyed by
fire. The firemen had O hard battle,
and for three hours there was every
prospect of a great contiagration.
Every fire company in the city from
Fifty-ninth street to the Battery was
called out.
The Derby Desk company occupied
both the Nassau and Ann street sides
and the basement of the building,
where the fire originated, was Occu-
pied by the Herald Cycle company.
From the Nassau chambers the fire
spread to the four-story building adj
Joining and the clothing store of Ma
duro Bros, Gil the ground floor, which
was quickly in flames. Loss here, also,
will be practically complete. Several
firemen are badly cut by flying glass
and debris, but none were seriously
injured.
The upper part of the Nassau cham
bers was occupied by lawyers and as
offices of q number of manufacturing
concerns. All of them suffered severe.
ly from the fire.
The Bennett building at the South
west corner of Nassau and Ann
streets, caught fire several times but
was eXtinguished.
The loss ut present is estimated at
half a million, the larger share of
which will be borne by Mr.. Morton,
although it was stated that the build
ing was we'll insured. The Derby
Desk company and Maduro Bros. are
mentioned as the next heaviest losers.
The World says that the loss from
all sources will probably reach $1,000
600.
