Civilized man finds IL difficult to
make his way through life without

suit has fifteen. Civilized woman
makes her way through life without
pockets, depending on a single bag
carried in the hand. The professional
humorists have never tired Of COM

Here is sex difference which is
something more than fashion. which
goes to the very heart of the subjec-

The movement Of the stormers was the
signal for the whole line. A truly
magnificent sight was the advance Of
these battalions with their colors flying
and borne steadily toward the front,
yet not for long.
Hardly had the movement begun
when the whole force-oicers, men,
colors and all-became inextricably en-
tangled in the dense abatis under a
fierce and whitening fire of artillery
Besides the teldpieces bearing directly
on the front Of the column two twenty
four-pounders poured upon its flank a
storm of missiles of all sorts, with
fragments OF railway bars and broken
chains Of grape, rusty nails and the
rakings of scrap iron heap for canister.
No part of the column ever passed be-
yond the abatis, nor was ii even posi-
bic TO extricate the troops in any order
without greatly adding TO the list of
casualties, already OF fearful length.
Banks was for putting in the supports.

First Fight of Negro Troops.

When the head of column of negroes
reached the foot of the hill. Shelby's
men opened up on them with musketry
from the rife pits on the crest. The
negroes pressed CALAMITY on and soon
got within range Of the field guns,
which raked the line with shell and
shrapnel. Still struggling on, they
came under the enfilade fire of the
columbiads. Pushing into the narrow
gorge leading up the hill. the foremost
negroes were within 200 yards of the
top when all the guns bearing upon
their course began belching canister.
Courage against canister is like a
broom against the ocean. Blood and
bones cannot stand it The leading
regiment fell back in disorder and
struck the one following at the base of

cover and reformed for a second
charge.
