ANNIVERSARY OF FIGHT
Interesting Account of War Incident
in which Alexandria Soldiers /.
took part.

Relieving that quite a number OF
vour readers will be interested in the
following and that it will stir up mem
cries within the hearts of many an
old soldier especially those Of the
Seventeenth Virginia Infantry, give
it to you.
The incident recorded below occurred
40 years ago tomorrow, 2lst OIL july,
lust after Lees army had returned
from the invasion of Pennsylvania.
When the army of Northern Virgin
ia started out on the Gettysburg cam
naien, Corse's brigade Of Plckett,s
Division and perhaps the strongest IN
number in the division, while camped
near Hanover Junction, was ordered
70 remain behind for the purpose OF
keeping open communications in Vlr-
pinia and defend the line of railroad
from Richmond to Gordonsvlle, and
Richmond itself from raiding parties
of the enemy.
II was tiresome duty and kept the
brigade constantly on the move. we
had marched from Gordonsville
through Madison C. H. end the Blue
Ridge Mountains by the way OF
Thornton's Gap and arrived at Win
chester. where we learned the par
ticulars Of the Gettysburg campaign
and that our army was falling back.
The brigade remained at Winches-
ter few days, when it was ordered to
| proceed down the valley in advance OF
the army. Starting OH the morning
of July 20 towards Front Royal and
halted for the night at the village OF
Cedarville, having marched about IA
miles. 1t resumed the march the
| next morning, being compelled to
ford the Shenandoah river. This was
| done with great difficulty on account
of the swollen streams and rapid cur
rent. Nevertheless they reached the
opposite bank in safety and proceeded
| on to Front Royal.
The enemy, rightly surmislng that
the valley pike would be strung with
the long trains of Lees army, at IT
slowly defiled behind the mountain
wall pushed forward their cavalry
from this side into the gaps from Ash
by's to Thornton's, watching chance
to break through and attack. The brl-
pade. it seems was sent forward to
| nrevent this and defend the flanks OF
our army. On arrival at Front Royal
| on the morning of July 21st, 1863, the
weather was scorching hot, the Seven
teenth Virginia was detached from
the brigade and ordeerd to move up
into the mountain gap through which
the Manassas railroad passes. The
! regiment took up its line OF march
| on the dusty country road and before
noon reached near the center OF the
pass when they filed into the woods
and stacked their arms. Everything
looked quiet and peaceful and the men
little expecting the enemy to make
their appearance so early, were soon
busy in the adjoining fields, gather
ing blackberries which were growing
in profusion. These companies (mere
remnants) had been sent to DO PICK
ct duty over the mountain, and while
the bulk of the men were thus busy an
gagged and enjoying themselves, Ad-
iutant w. W. Zimmerman who had
gone out to post the pickets was seen
coming in, shouting as he came in. 10

RABBITS SAVED LIVES.

Rabbits saved the lives of family
OF six in little village near Bordeaux,
France, called Lezignan few days
since. A fire broke out In the cottage
OF a man named CASTILLO during the
night. He, his wife and their four
children were sleeping soundly on the
first floor when CASTILLO woke. hearing
the rabbits squeaking loudly. Thinking
that there were burglars in the house,
CASTILLO took his revolver and ran
downstairs 10 find that a candle which
he had forgotten when he went to bed
had set fire 10 a curtain and that the
ground floor was blazing. Owing to
the warning OF the rabbits, CASTILLO
was able to save his wife and family,
and the rabbits themselves. A mo-
ment after he had done so the roof
fell in and the house is now in ruins.

HARMONY IN FLOWERS
ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENT CALLS
FOR CONSIDERABLE SKILL
Lines and colors OF Stems and Bloc
soms Form the Dominant Center
Of Interest In the Flower
Pictures

Any display OF cat flowers In a re
ceptacle should make picture In
which the lines and colors OF the
stems and blossoms form the domi
nant center OF interest. Success In
the making OF such picture is very
easy II one will be content with sim
plicity and naturalness, but II becomes
increasingly difficult as one strives al
ter complexity and artistic finish.
In all pictures certain harmonies are
to be desired In flower pictures. the
chief OF these are the harmonies OF
line and color. The harmonies OF
line are determined by the habit OF
growth OF the plants used and the
forms Of the leaves and blossoms. The
simplest way to secure beauty in this
respect is to confine the display to one
type OF flower. and see that the lines
of the stems and blossoms conform to
the lines of the receptacle. Thus few
large roses on long. straight stems
may be displayed to great advantage
in a tall, cylindrical vase. while
smaller roses on shorter, more fra
gile stems are much more effective
when shown in low, broad rose bowls.
Harmony of color in a flower ar
rangement requires simply that the
flowers placed together shall not be
OF discordant tones, and that they
shall combine attractively with the
color of the receptacle. The latter is,
indeed. OF the greatest importance in
the making OF the flower pictures, for,
II not simple in form and modest in
color, II will spoil the beauty of any
flowers with which 1t is used.
Pottery jars and vases useful as
flower receptacles may be had In an
almost bewildering variety of sizes,
shapes and colors, and at a great
range OF prices. The more costly
forms are not by any means always
the most beautiful, and one can often
get. for few cents, Jars Of good form
and color that serve admirably for
holding flowers.
AS regards form, two chief types OF
flower receptacles are needed in any
home where cut flowers are tastefully
arranged-the tall and slender and the
short and broad. = The first are neces.
sary to display the graceful lines of
lilies. irises. gladioli and other slender
long stemmed flowers; the second to
show to advantage roses, peonies. as
tiers, sweet peas and other short
stemmed blossoms. OF course, various
intermediate forms can be used to ad.
vantage for such flowers as daffodils
and other types Of the narcissus, but,
in general, the most useful jars belong
to the tall or the broad type.-Subur.
