And Victory Followed.

"A good general never overlooks point
in the game" said an ex-army officer
"Apropos to this, l recall what seemed a
little thing that happened before we at
tackled Fort Donelson, and yet there is no
measuring the effect it may have had upon
history General Grant called a council
of war to consider whether they should
attack at once or give the troops few
days rest. The other officers favored a
rest, while Grant smoked and gave no
opinion.
There was a deserter brought in this
morning, the general finally said, Let us
see him and hear what he has to say
'The first thing Grant did when the fcl
low came i'll was to open up his knapsack
Where are you fromS the general ther,
asked
Fort Donelson.
You have six days rations. / see
When were they served2
Yesterday morning, sir
We're the same rations served to all
the troops?'
Yes, sir
'Gentlcmen, said Grant, troops do
not have six days rations served out to
them in fort if they mean to stay there
These men mean to retreat, not to fight
We will attack at once. ''-Detroit Free

Henriette Rousseau Discovers That Good
People Can Dress Well.

Henriette Rousseau Discovers That Good
People Can Dress Well
When lovely woman reaches Asbury
Park, a wonderful change comes over
her. One may be dashing and brilliant
at Newport, naval and natatorial at
Narragansett and Long Branch, Ian
gushing and diaphanous at Saratoga
and many other things at other places,
all of them seductive, but when the
lovely woman reaches Asbury it is quite
another thing. She wears few frizzles,
few founces and no futtering ribbons
with their reprehensible enticements to
bewilder and dazzle the masculine
brain. No, indeed. She is demurely
sweet, with soft and solemn look in
the dreamy, religious eyes. While she
dresses as befts the gentlewoman Of to-
day she eschews most of the vanities
and looks the sweet, absurd little saint
she is.
The atmosphere of the place sheds
its benison over all, and the butterfly
somehow changes by some magical
metamorphosis and becomes s'dove in
its nest, with soft brooding tones in
it's more serious conversation. In no
place does the influence of the surround
ings seem more marked 1t is but step
from Asbury Park to the ccol shade of
the pine trees of Ocean Grove, and that
place we all know is ono of lne little
outposts of heaven. Asbury Park is the
link connecting the worldly world with
this little spot where peace abides and
the weary soul may rest. The pines
whisper above your head, and the soft
'fisvosa of the waves lulls one to a
sleep almost as precious as that of death.
Asbury Park has been so much laugh
ed at that it is wonder that any one
ever wants to go there. It's founder, Mr..
James A. Bradley, has been called
"crank' perhaps 10, 600. 600 times, but
he has kept on with dogged persistence
that has won the esteem of all who have
ever known him or who have visited
Asbury Park. There is contingent
whose taste runs in quiet channels and
who find that pretty village-or city
to be an ideal summer resort, and these
are among our very best and most intel
ligent citizens-people who do not rush
abroad to spend their money for the
benefit of countries who turn cold
shoulder when we have any trouble.
These are refined, educated people, and
they know how to find amusement and
pleasure i'll simple, healthful ways.
One can educate oneself to long for
opera or opera bouffe every night and
not be happy without it. and others can
extract just as many hours of as keen
pleasure from a we'll contested game of
checkers or dominos. There are lovely
rides, boating parties, fishing parties.
music, bathing, dancing and no end of
social intercourse among people of con-
genial tastes, and if one should happen
to get glass of soda water drawn with
too much gas i'll it, why, all one has to
do is to cross the little bridge to Ocean
Grove and all its reprehensible sparkle
evaporates at once and the old sweet
peace that passeth the understanding
returns.
So much has been said about Mr..
Bradley, the founder and prime man
ager of Asbury, that few have ever

Fameus Tree Almost Gone.

''The famous oak tree under which Viii

A Tnwn IIndar the Gronnd.

In Valetta, the capital of Malta, there is
an important but little known portion
which goes by the native name of the
Manderaggio. It is Stunned by the police,
who never visit it except in considerable
force, and is as inaccessible to the tourist
or casual visitor to the island as is Tim
buktu.
1t is locally known as ''Underground
Malta" and corresponds to the Seven
Dials in London. Here live all the riffraff
of the island-in fact, the scum of the
Mediterranean. The crowding to which
these people voluntarily submit themselves
is extraordinary. On rather less than
three acres of ground live nearly 5000 peo-
pie They exist for the most part in dark
ness, seldom coming up into the light Of
day.
Once an evildoer can eludc the police
and enter the Manderaggio he is perfectly
safe, as no one would venture to follow
him.-London Standard

Sienkiewicz's S method of making book
is as follows: He works out detailed
plan. and writes it down carefully He
fixes this in his head and lets it ''seethe
and ferment" there, as he says When
ready to begin work, he divides his time,
not into days, but weeks. During the
first week he produces a certain amount,
the second week similar amount, and so
on, week after week. He writes without
correction, and never copies, producing
just one manuscript-the one which he
sends to the printer Each week S work
continues that of the preceding week.
Though the plan of the book is elaborated
carefully in advance, this plan is not fol-
lowed strictly. From the 'seething and
fermenting" in his head changes are sug-
gested to the author, and he makes them.
He has no secretary, amanuensis, copyist
or assistant - jeremiah Curtin in Gem

heard of Mrs. Bradley, and yet she is a
woman worth knowing and knowing
about. Her quiet manners cover very
strong and individual character and
there is nothing going on in the world
of note that she is not posted ill., And
she is also very pretty. If Asbury Park
owes its beneficial if stringent rules to
Mr.. Bradley, it owes much of its beauty
to the quiet influence of Mrs. Bradley.
All this is forgetting the fashions.
There are fashionable gowns worn there,
too, let me say. Religion, art and liter
ature dress well in these days and do
not go stalking about in unkempt dis
array. The blue eyed lady on the porch,
the beach, the board walk or in the
pavilion wears her crisp blue and white
taffeta with its sweeping tunic flounce
with as much grace as her sister or
cousin in Newport and looks quite as
dainty too. Her blouse is trimmed with
applique of white lace and has vest
of cream lace. Three shades of blue are
blended in her costume. Her belt is of
dark indigo, her soft satin ribbon col
lar of blue several shades lighter. and
the quilting of silk down the opening
in front is of still another shade.
Hats for the seashore should be of
such kind as resists dampness No
feathers to look like bedragSled roosters,
but crisp taffetas and the waxy leaved
flowers in their places. lii fact every
thing should be worn with an under.
standing of the injurious salt sea air.

look with unseeing eyes at the waves
rushing up like so many white dogs to
bite the patient shore and be dreamiG9
of the glories to come III the new fall
bonnets and hats. Eh bien There will
be pokes, coal scuttles scoops aud
shovel noses Those are the names they
were known by many, many years ago
And Gainsboroughs aud cavaliers also.
They will be trimmed little different,
but pretty faces will look pretty in
them, and that is all we require any
way. HENRIETTE ROUSSEAU.

writes the semi-oficial Civil and Mill
tary Gazette, one Of the most English
of English organs In India, Concealed
disease incapacitates our army" The
Bombay Gazette takes up the same
theme and states openly:
"a whole brigade were in hospital the
year round from the poison OF disease
which more than most others saps the
constitution. 1t was predicted that
when sent into the field large number
of the rank and file would infallibly
break down and swell the sick list. We
hear OF corps which have been so deci-
mated by sickness that they have to be
sent back to the base"
Decimated by sickness at the first
hardship of campaigning, refusing to
face the enemy, abandoning their
wounded comrades to the compassion
of native regiments, trying to stink to
! balances! This is the horrifying pic
ture which even English officers and
English journals have to draw Of the
English soldier of today. He can burn
village, nay. he can burn hundred

children Of the mountain tribes out on

The fighting has further disclosed the
terrible damages effected by the Dunn
DUN bullet, especially when the victim
is truck upon the, bone.
A report just received from the hospl-
&'ls at Rawal Pindi shows that the in
juries inflicted upon our men when the
