BATTLE OF WILDERNESS
 FIFTH DAY OF MAY, 1864

1 the victorious Yankee brigade that had routed Jones' men.
 The fighting was furious for a while Our line extended along the pike, the enemy twenty-five or thirty yards on the other side, and in a pine thicket that ex- te.-ded to the road. The order was finally given to charge. Our line charged across the road, on in to the thicket broke their line, and drove them out of the thicket and three quarters of a mile across field to their second line, capturing two pieces of artillery We were then moved back over the ground we had driven the en- enay over, to the pike, and then by the right flank until we covered the front of the enemy's brigade that we had left when we broke his line, charged and routed them, and drove them back to their second line This maneuver was re- peated on the left, and it was then, when we arrived the third time along the front of the enemys line, that General Gordon dashed up from our right He had broken the enemy's line further to our right, and said: Sixth Alabama, I am glad to meet you here today. Right here we will end this war" We then fell back to the edge of the pine thicket on the hill, and commenced to build slight breastworks. Such was the Battle of the WilderneN the 9th day of May as I saw it. I saw no other troops untli I saw Gordon's, and that was after the third charge. I did not know that the other three regi- ments of the brigade were out of the fight until it was over. Every man and officer of the Sixth and Sixty-first Ala i bama who was engaged in the fight knows these are the facts, as [ have stated them
 General Battle never made any official
 report of the battles of the Wilderness, and in fact only one of that bloody cam paign. This is unwritten history.

SMART BELTS.

Dress accessories have never before been given so prominent place in the summer wardrobe Every little thing is magnified to a new importance-is brought out in 8 hundred interesting forms.
 In the new seasons belts, says the London Express, this fact is perhaps even more noticeable than the other dainty trifles that add much to the beauty of dress.
 Leather belts are a revelation, carved and combined with silk into wonderful effects. The dantiest lowered ribbons are given character by the bands of leather which border 1t and cover the buckle. green silk belt-strong "St. Patricks' green-has tiny stripes of white Kid stitched on 1t at close intervals.
 When tho belt brushes into its proper lines only an occasional glimpse of the green is to be seen, fascinating by the very daring of the shade. Another, like it is style Is radically different in. ef- fect-strips of the palest of violet kid are stretched on white silk.
 Among the odd, striking belts is one of leather-White, with great round holes punched through 1t, and mounted upon a silk foundation of red, blue or violet, or perhaps white (the two materials con trasting charmingly), letting great polka dots of the color show through.
 Suede belts are plain--the rich, deep tans exquisltely set off by the plainest Of square, flat brass buckles, or carved in curious patterns.
 Some of the French belts have slides and buckles trimmed with ribbon em- broidery-narrow shaded ribbon gathered on one edge and formed into flower de- signs.
 For some of the soft leather belts come narrow metal supports, which run up the back in three places, and are curved slightly to make the girdle-line take the right tilt.
 Linen belts have swept everything be- fore them; that is linen as standing for the great assortment of washable belts which are wonderfully popular this year
 Girdes are legion, gauged or folded. all heights and styles depending entirely up- on the lines of the figure for which 1t Is chosen.
 Beltlngs-by the yard-are almost as numerous. Curious dull gold beltings- narrow and stiff-are woven with dull green or blue, or a medley of colors.

All of these are in conventional design and were done under Miss Mason. who Is one of the best known china painters in the United States.
 Miss Reese did several realistic pieces under Miss Helen Clarke who has made quite study of flower painting. Miss Reese studied tapestry under Lignon Mateura of Naples.

Bees as Acrobats.

From Country Life in America.
 When wax Is needed a certain num- Der of self-elected citizens gorge with honey and hang up in chains or cur tains, each bee clinging by her front feet to the hind feet of the one above her, like Japanese acrobats, and there they remain, sometimes for two days, until the wax scales appear pushed out from every pocket. It is not hard to understand that, since much honey Is needed for the manufacture of wax, a bee after filling with the raw material would produce much more wax by keeping quiet than by using any of the gorged honey for energy in moving about and working. But the necessity of "holding hands" while this work goes on must ever remain to us another occult evidence of the close relations in the bee commune.

A Summer Dream.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 Lying in hammock in shady nook, listening to the laughter of babbling brook, slipping cool juleps. dreaming time away, wouldn't this be lovely on A summer day? Listening to the wind sigh through the swaying leaves, watching where the sunbeam and the shadow weaves; smell the fragrant blossoms, hear the songsters sing, who could dream of anything-but what's tie use? The best we get is lilac bush in the backyard.
