SHAVED HIS WHISPERS.
When Aged GenttemMuss Wife Re- turned Pathetic Scene Ensued
 aDd Hubby Repented.

There is well known old gentleman in Detroit who might few days ago have been easily distinguished in 8 crowd by the length of the hirsute adornment on his chin. His wife is a motheriy old body who hadn't seen her hubby without those patrfarchal whiskers for more than 30 years, till one sad day last week, that will long be remembered in that particular household and by the remainder of the party that were spend ing few weeks at the St. Clair flats.
 The old gentleman rather prided him. self on his good looks. He was great admirer of pretty face. There were 8 number of ladies in the party who be- gan to rally the old man about his looks. He would be much better looking, they said, if only he would shave off those old whiskers.
 One day last week his-wife went up the river with friend The old man disap- peared for a long time. When he finally reappeared he was a sight for the gods. His whiskers, in which he had taken so much pride, were in the waste basket, and his chin was as smooth as a baby's. It took about 15 seconds for everybody in the house to get next, then such shouts of laughter arose as never before had been heard in that cottage. But, says the Detroit Tribune, the pathetic part

Oct 14 Warren's corps was within the crowded roads came to a halt on the banks of Cedar run. The road ahead having been cleared during the night Warren prepared to move on to- ward Catlett's Station, when his biv- ouac was suddenly fired upon from the direction of Catlett's. The fire was from the guns of Stuart, who in the darkness had slipped in between War ren and the corps ahead, and actually slept the night through with one eye open for fear he would be discovered and captured.
 Daylight showed that Warren was alone, and Stuart learned, too, that EweIPs Confederate corps was at War ren's heels. So close were the Confed- crates that some of Stuart's shells, passing over the heads of Warren's men, dropped in Ewell's ranks. But Stuart was given to impulse, and he had opened fire upon division of War ren's at breakfast, not knowing that another Federal division, having the right of way that morning, was march ing up behind a ridge close under his guns. When these troops retalfated upon his cannoneers with volleys of bullets Stuart called the game off and gal1oped away toward Catlett's, fol- lowed by Warren
 Warren had been told that he would find his own people, the Fifth corps, un- der Sykes, at Bristol Station, two miles beyond Catletts. He intrusted his di- vision generals to lead the, march and remained himself with the rear guard to see what Ewell's Confederates might attempt in .the emergency. Suddenly from up the track, in the direction of Bristoe, there is an outburst of guns. Warren quits the crowded road fur the open fields and galIops to the front
 Sykes corps had been shadowed to Bristoe by HilPs Confederate corps, just as Warren's had been followed by Eweu and Stuart HuFs column wtrs led by General Heth, the man who opened the battle.of Gettysburg Catch ing sight of the last brigade of Sykes 1 disappearing across tlie plain, Heth de ploys four brigaGes to take 1t on the run and opens fire with battery. Just at the moment the advance of War ren's column swings into view, and the Confederate guns are promptly turned l the other way. Between the two an ] tagonists is the Broad run, shallow stream and Browns Rhode Island bat tery o9 the Second corps goes splash ing across toa position on the opposite bank. Warren's men arc marching sa1ong a railroad track which is fanked on one side by a. ridge 300 yards distant Par alleI with the ridge is a cut through which the track passes At the sound of Browns guns the leading brigade of infantry is ordered to form on the ridge. and while the troops are wheel

 the Old Guard of the Army of the
 Potomac, comprising the boys in blue who repulsed Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, had it been captured or an initiated in an off day of battle, yet that nearly happened at Bristoe, Va, Oct. IA, 1868. The valiant leader was absent at the moment, nursing his Get tysburg wound, and another Gettys- burg hero, General G.-K- Warren, was at the head of the corps.
 After accomplishing his skillful re- treat from Gettysburg to the south side of the Potomac, Lee marched leisurely across the Rappahannock and encamp- ed behind the Rapfdan. Meade as lei surely followed up with the Army of the Potomac and bivouacked south of the Rappahannock- Waiting to get bis ar my in hand for an advance to battle, Meade was surprised one day by a sig nal dispatch from Lee to Jeb Stuart, his cavalry leader, read on the wing by the Federal signalmen, directing that officer to supply his troopers with three days travel rations- During the next twenty-four hours it ranspired that Confedefates- on foot and on horse back were marching around the flank of the Army of the Potomac heading north, and the Yankee troops began guessing that the year 1863 would wit ness the annual battle at Bull Run or Manassas.
 Meade at once set his troops in mo- ton for the heights of Centerville, a position for defense between Bull Run and Washington. On the morning of

 Rolled at every point, the Confeder- atRS reel backward with half a dozen Federal regiments at their heels. Tn a few minutes 460 prisoners are brought into Warren's lines, with two battle flags and five guns of Poague's Virgin ia battery, which opened the ball by firing upon Sykes rear guard A "Yank' astride of each gun crows like rooster, announcing the victory.
 The fight on the railroad at Bristoe was an echo of Gettysburg in the sense that the same men crossed bayoneta Heth's division charged with Pickett's s and was beaten off by the soldiers of Webb. The Twenty sixth North Caro- lima carried off the palm for hard fight ing at Gettysburg and was the heav- lest loser at Bristoe. Hays division was in the center on the railroad cut at Bristoe, and it stood in the center of Hancock's line on Cemetery hill.
 The first rife shots at Bristoe were from the guns of little remnant of the First Minnesota, regiment almost an- nihilated on July at Gettysburg in a feat of arms which Hancock called the most brilliant in history. It charged alone into WiIlcox's advancing line of battle and came out with loss of 215 men, leaving only forty seven with the colors- Wilcox was also at Bristoe in front of the railroad cut .-. After dark Warren moved his men across Broad run so stealthily as to escape detection by Hi1l's pickets, and Ewefl did not reach the field until the gallant Second corps was well on the road to Centerville in touch with the

band warmly. the Emperor discussed social
problems with this Socialist Mayor. But II
was more surprising when recently he wrote
on the margin OF n newspaper. referring TO

Other incidents might be brought forward
to show that the Emperor has become deep

his hatred FOR the German leaders, such as
Bebel. Singer. Heine and Bernstein. who
represent the party. has not been modified.
Those closest to the Emperor assert that
he takes a most tolerant View of Socialism,
but has no use for the methods employed
b. the German leaders. holding rather the
French Socialists as models for them to
copy.
