Ladies Watch the Battle.

Every spectacular feature of battle
in full progress was produced in the
maneuvers. and the field was viewed
from near and far by many spectators.
General Corbin went among the troops
of both armies and made close obser-
vation of the progress of the battle.
Mrs. Corbin and Mrs. Grant and Miss
Patton viewed the maneuvers from an
automobile.
The militia troops displayed the usu-
al disadvantage Of inexperience in the
field Many Of them ate their two
days rations the first day and went
hungry the second. The regulars set
them good example in this respect,
dividing their supplies equally be
tween the two days.
Complaint Of depredations by militia
men came 10 headquarters from Wei
lington. where 1t was claimed that the
First South Carolina regiment had
cleaned out provision store absolute
ly. The loss will be reimbursed to the
proprietor and the amount deducted
from the pay Of this regiment. General
Corbin and both division commanders
unite in praising the conduct of the
militia. They have been tired out. but
their fighting qualities have not been
impaired.

story Of the Maneuvsr.

This attack on the part Of the blue
force was made by General Wint with
Brice's brigade, consisting Of the Sew
enth Virginia, the First Maine, the
First Alabama and the Sixteenth in
fantry. Previous to this there had
been severe fighting on the line to
which General Bell had fallen back
during the night. This line, the Anti
och road, was within two miles Of the
western limit Of the maneuver zone
and extended the fiva miles Of the
width OF the zone. While General Bell
was falling back to the new line from
the Carolina road, which had been the
scene of conflict the day before, Gen
eral Grant occupied the hours between
midnight and daylight In concentrating
his forces for an attack on the brown
left He Withdrew all Of his cavalry
from the southern portion OF his line,
their position on the first day. and
threw two full brigades and sixteen
guns to the point indicated. His artil-
lery was so we'll placed that it had un-
obstructed play for an hour on the
brown line.
The effect Of this fire was not taken
into account by a decision rendered by
the umpire on the field early in the
battle when the blue force was re
quired TO fall back, but was taken intC
account later and credit given accord
ing to the effect of the FIRE Of the blu'
artillery.

The Right TO Kfss.

In a divorce suit in the New Yorb
courts which has achieved consider
able notoriety the question Of kissing
is predominant. There are a number
Of correspondents figuring in the case
but the evidence SO far is largely that
the accused wife's indiscretions con.
sisted in kissing other men. The attor.
reys for the plaintiff have closely cross
questioned the defendant, who admits
the kissing, but justifies it. Their pur.
pose evidently is to show that a mar
ried woman may kiss no man but hel
husband and relatives without evidenc
ing a moral laxity sufficient to breal
the marriage bond.
On general principles it may be said
that the wife who promiscuously kisses
other men, particularly if not on gooG
terms with her husband, lays herself
open to suspicion. On the other hand
the most devoted and faithful Of wives
sometimes kiss other men with affec
ton and satisfaction without disturb
ing the harmony of the family Preside
It can be said that when a wife prefers
to kiss other men rather than her hus
band, the rocks are pretty lear thu

man, being the nearest relative, bene.
hted considerably by the find.
A story comes from the drought
stricken region Of Queensland, which
shows how valuable a dream may be.
- little girl named Rose Naylor, daush-
ter Of a squatter, was told one day by
hec school mistress to write as a com.
position an account of something that
had happened in her own life. She
wrote out a dream she had had. She
described a valley on : Ell fathers land
at that time a desciate waste of drie0
up scrub-and said that in her dream
1t had turned into a beautiful lake,
with long grass around it, and fat cat
tie resting under green trees at its
edges. She said the water came from
a sort of post stuck in the ground, and
described exactly where it stood.
The school mistress was struck by
the composition, and told Rose to take
it home to her father. The latter, who
was almost in despair at the long con.
tinuance Of the drought, had already
made up his mind to bore an artesian
well. Being a little superstitious, he
decided to put down the bore at the
spot mentioned by his daughter. The
result was amazing. A subterranean
stream was tapped, and the water
spouted from the top of the pipe at the
rate of 10000 gallons an hour. Very
0 o a large pond was formed, and a
year later little Roses dream had come
literally true.-St. Louis Globe-Demo.
