"A natty model is one made in a

Over the shoulders are four half-inch

material for: the. 'front.', there is a
band of white pique about two and a
hall. inches wide, with the edges
.scalloped instead Of simply hemmed.
The sleeve Is Of the variety called
"sbirl. sleeve" made like those in a
mans shirt, but with u. faTing, turn

was finished with rolling Byron or
Dutch collar, scal:opcd, of course, to
match, but this might be replaced

This attractive design caIl be val.

for wear with special tailored suits.
For instance, the piQue might be
colored, faint vloset or green or
any of those lovely dull tones SO
much in vogue this year, being pret.

might he embroidered in the colors.

several shades were added to the

be hemstitched instead Of embroider'

a bit Of embroidery, such as rows OF
dots, would be good-looking, too.
Another waist recently made for q
woman who always has a number OF
these stiff models on hand, Is braid
ed. This particular blouse Is one
made with the kimona sleeves (thCse
cut in one piece with the body oi

The National Tribune of recent date
contains an account of the service of
the 3Sth ILL.,, which belonged to the
Twcntyfourth Corps. under Col John
Gibbon. We circulated all around the
horseshoe of Gen. Butler, from Dutch
Gap Canal to the New Market road.
''Longstreets Confederate soldiers
came out from their works to give bat
tie in our rear. The snow was on the
ground. An occasional picket firing
told us something was on. but no bat
tie, and ut noon we reached the James
River. Several Union forts were in
the vicinity. One of them, to the right
of the New Market road was garri-
soned by volunteers from the Nutmeg
State. AS we circled around the rear
the rebels gave us a few shots, and
then retreated behind their works.
The boys in blue of the Ninth Corps
were loud in their praise of Gen. Hart
ranft and the soldiers under his COM
mand for driving the rebels out of Fort
Steadman a week or so before our ar
rival. We went to the left of Fort
Stedman on picket on the night of
April /. 1t looked to me something

eenth Corps when the move was made
on Petersburg, June Is. 1864. After
our lines were established we occupied
Fort Steadman: also, at one time, a po-
sition between City Point and the APP
pomattox River, and were on the ex-
trcme front line from June to October.
The enemy had an enflading fire or
our lines from across the river. This
big mortar which is spoken of as the

| on the City Point Railroad, and did ex-
cellent service in silencing the rebel
batteries across the river and mystify-
| ing the Johnnies by its firing from diff

flank. Birneys opening was to be the
signal for the rest, but Birney took so
wide a circuit that it was near hight
before he arrived in front of the en-
emys lines, and he decided that it was
too late to attack that evening. II
was the too frequent ill-fortune of con-
certed movements made by command
ers not of the highest class that they
failed in doing the expected thing at
the right time. These delays gave the
enemy abundant opportunity to REIN
force The threatened point.
Birney was ordered to attack at an
early hour on the morning of Aug. 16;
Gen. Gregg performed his part of the
program promptly. and galloped for
ward to Whites Tavern, seven miles
from Richmond. driving the enemy's
cavalry and killing their commander,
Gen. Chambliss 1t was 10 o'clock, how
ever, before Gen. Terry, with his divi-
sion and brigade OF Motifs Division
and a brigade of colored troops, ad-
vanced against the enemy above Fus-
sells Mill. They encountered a severe
resistance, but carried the enemy's
works, and captured between 200 and
900 prisoners. This success was pur-
ed being Col. Craig, commanding a
brigade. who had just returned from an
absence caused by wounds.
Again there was miSchancc in not
taking advantage of this success. Terry
was left unsupported; the enemy re-
covered and We're reinforced, and re-
took the works with Birney only hold
ing the advanced line of pits. Later
they sent infantry and cavalry to re-
inforce the troops in front of Gregg.
and drove him back across Deep Creek
Finding little hope of successfully at
tacking the enemy behind his intrench-
ments, ruse was resorted to TO draw
him out to attack lis. A fleet was sent
to Deep Bottom, in full sight of the
Confederate signal stations at Drewry's
Bluff and Chapin's Farm, as if to carry
the troops away. The Confederates
had become too wary, or else were too
well informed TO be deluded by this
They did, however. attack Birney's men,
to whom they gave a very lively 20
minutes, but were decisively repulsed.
