WORSE THAN BULLETS.
Assault of Six Hives of Bees Before
Which the Soldier Boys Beat
a Hasty Retreat.

When Sheridan decided to go in on
Early at Cedar creek said an old vet
eran, my brigade advanced in the open
over meadow. The enemy held the or
chard and the dooryard surrounding a
farmhouse, and we advanced straight
upon them. They found themselves out
numbered and fell back to stone wall.
and there they made desperate stand.
When we reached the house l simply
noticed that it was an old fashioned
place, and remember that peonies and
hollyhocks and other old-time flowers
were growing in the yard.
I'VE had enough to do to hold our
ground without gazing around, though
some of us stopped long enough to get
drink of water from the old oaken
bucket. We fought Is minutes, and
were making ready to advance on the
wall when l suddenly felt bullet sting
me across the back. AS my face was
toward the enemy l naturally felt sur
prised, and as looked around, expecting
that force had got into our rear, saw
hundred men doing the same thing.
"A minute later a circus began
There were six hives of bees under the
trees. and all of them had been pierced
by bullets. 1t was summer time, and all
the insects were fighting mad in no time
at all. Out they came at us as if it was
swarming time, and within two minutes
500 men had ceased firing and were viz
tually stampeded. The bees gave us i
hotter time than thousand men could
have done, and we went swirling round
and round in a wild mob for five
minutes. l was stung four times, and
almost every one else got it as bad
'Of a sudden, and without any orders
being given, we charged the wall and the
enemy. If they were looking for it, the
way we came, like a great mob going up
or down the street, knocked them out.
BY the time we reached the wall it
had no defenders. but we didn't get rid
of the last bee till some time after the
victory. Among the prisoners captured
was tall, rawbOned chap with look
Of astonishment on his face When asked
what allied him, he replied:
Waal, now. if you Yanks are dog
some mean enough to come at us fellers
like a drove of cattle, you kin go to grass,
and be hanged to you!'"

Tribute of Old Soldier.

During the progress of the funeral
train bearing Gen. Sherman's remains
to St. Louis after his death many pa
thetic episodes occurred to show the
love and reverence in which the great
war hero was held. The most touch
ing incident occurred in the night at
about three o'clock in the morning the
train was rolling through the open
country. AS it passed small, isolated
farmhouse, the door opened. and an old
man. dressed in full uniform and hold
ing rusty musket at present arms. -
appeared in the doorway. Alone, miles
from any neighbors. he stood there
bareheaded, until the train had passed

SEASONS FASHIONS.
A Lovely Gray Chiffon Wolfe and
Vogue of Surplice Waist and
Short Sleeve.

One OF the prettiest dressy gowns OBJ
served this season was built of silver
gray chiffon wolfe, deliberately embroid-
cred in broderie Anglaise. The waist
was open in the front, showing a sur
plice vest entirely composed of narrow
Valenciennes edging invisibly joined.
There was collar and guimpe of all
over ValencienneS. A narrow silver
braid edged with narrower black velvet
outlined the voile waist and trimmed
the top of the collar. The high girdle
OF gray satin was trimmed with little
bows of the silver and velvet braid, and
the same braid decorated the edges of
the lace sleeves. The skirt was I'M
trisnmed, save for the broderie Anglaise.
The surplice waist is the waist of the
season. and next to this in popularity
comes the draped bodice. The draped
sleeve, shirred in the inner seam and
sometimes in both seams is a great
favorite. The soft and clinging fabrics
which every one is wearing lend them
selves we'll to draped effects. A lowered
fOulard in mauve tones was made with
draped waist, plain in the back and
showing bolero effect in front. The
fronts of the waist were fulled in the
under-arm seam and brought together
in the center, where they were gathered
into jeweled buckle, dull silver and
amethyst. There was an underwaist of
white lace.
Practically all sleeves are short. eth
er elbow length or terminating several
inches above the wrist Many varieties
of lawn and lace undersleeves are sold
to wear with these short sleeves. and
one may be as extravagant as she
chooses in the matter of these dainty
accessories. Some of the imported
Suimpe and undersleeve sets are in
credibly expensive. On the other hand
many pretty sets are to be had for very
small sums. Clever women will not find
the sets hard to get up at home. Bits
of real lace may be utilized to good eff
feet. The finest of tucked lawns are
to be had by the yard. and so little ma
terial is required that quite handsome
materials may be afforded

Lee had surrendered, and the civil war

With this grave as a centerpiece, the
patriots fenced and cleared and painted
and decorated until they had made of
the once neglected and forgotten wilder
ness a neat and attractive burial ground.
Then they cut down tree from the ad-
jacent woods, trimmed and painted it
and set it up as a flagstaff Finally they
hoisted Old Glory on the top of this
flagstaff. and the shades of the revolu-
tionary heroes on the other side of the
Styx regained their unwonted peace of
mind. AS finishing touch to their
work the patriots placed small Ameri-
can flag on each of the tiny headstones,
and concluded their efforts with serv-
ice of song
II you ask any of the residents of New
Town where the burial place is. the
chances are that he will tell you he never
heard of it. And yet it is within few
minutes of the picturesque old place at
which Washington made his headquar-
tiers during the Trenton campaign. To
reach the spot it is necessary to cross a
field in which the wheat is waist high,
or by following the river bank and fore
ing path through the wilderness of
trees and shrubbery it can be reached
from that side. Were it not for the flag
that floats proudly in the breeze on this
historic spot, persons who visit the
pe1ghborhood to see the little burial
place would be unable to find it without
a long search. Once there, the, visitor is
tempted to sit for hours enjoying the
sylvan beauty of the scene Through
the trees that fringe the bank of the Del
aware glimpses of that placid river can
be seen. All around are smiling farm
lands. Not house is visible from the
spot, and no sounds can be heard but the
songs of birds and the signing of the
breeze through the treetdps.
