Special to tha Terrc Haute Express. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind„ July 4. Fully 50,000 people witnessed today's competitive drill, participated in by Company K, of St. Louis, the Porter Rifles, the McKeen Cadets, the Crescent Rifles, and Asbury Cadets, in the order named. Company gave a rather poor exhibition. They were broken up badly in several movements. The Porters did not put up a drill equal to the drill last June at Louisville. The McKeen Cadets' drill was not up to the standard of Monday's drill in fast movements but the manual was better. The drill throughout, however, was up to the drill in the State contest. The Crescent Rifles were the'favorites of the crowd, and every movement was applauded. The Asbury Cadets made about the best show of the day Before the time was up a heavy shower came up, but despite this the movements were continued, and their commander came nearer completing the programme than either of the others. They made no individual and company errors, but the drill was exccellent and it is thought their per cent, "will be higher than either the Porter or

Riflles. Of the remainder of tho companies in tho free-for-all drill to-mor-row, the Chicksaws appeared to be the favorites, with tho Indianapolis Light Infantry as second.

A crowd equal to that of this morning witnessed tho fire works this evening. The display was the finest ever made in tho west.

IXDIANATOI.IS, July 4.—The violent rain storm which prevailed last night, it was feared, would damage tho drill ground, but the sun came out early this morning, and the day has been delightful, up to half past five, when a hard rain occurred, while the Greencastle Cadets were drilling, but this did not prevent them from completing their drill and occupying

time. Fully 30,000 people were on tho grounds from early morning. The arrangements for the accommodation of the crowd wero admirable, and Gen. Carnahan and the executive committee deserve congratulations and also thanks.

The Baino zouaves and Lackey zouaves gave an exhibition drill for which there was no prize. The Judges awarded tho honors to the Baines.

Tho free-for-all contest was opened by Company K, First Regiment Missouri National Guards, who came on the ground at 11 o'clock. The Judges are Lieutenants Carbaugh, Newcomb and Fitch, of tne United States Army. The second company contesting for the prize was the Porter Rifles, of Nashville, followed by the McKeen Cadets, ot Terre Haute, Indiana, Crescent Rifles, of New Orleans, and the Asbury Cadets, of Greencastle. Tho contest will be continued to-morrow by the Chickasaws, of Memphis, Quapaws, of Little Rock, Arkansas, Louisiana Rifles, and Indianapolis National Guards. At noon a salute of thirty guns was tired by the park of artillery, managed bv the various companies. To-night a splendid exhibition of lireworks will be given.

In speaking of the contest in the state drill the Indianapolis Journal says:

TUB M'KEEXCADETS

made their appearance on the field before dinner, but their formal drill did not begin until 2 o'clock. They were evidently favorites with the crowd, n.nd were received with most enthusiastic cheers, which were renewed at frequent intervals during their drill. They woro a very striking uniform of gray cloth, and white epaulets and helmets. They are all young men, uniform in size and appearance, and drilled in a striking manner. Several mistakes were made, but they were all of a minor character, and will not count for much in tho general average. In the wheels the Cadets were excellent, and in fours they kept distance in the most admirable manner. They were on the field three quarters of an hour, and not only performed tho same movements as the Logan Grays, but many others, such as firing lying down, marching by platoons in fours, kneeling at a charge, etc. Their obliquo movements, though a trifle irregular at tho' first attempt, proved one of their best achievements, while on coming into lino tho orders addressed were a mere formality, the fours swinging up and coming up to a guide almost as one man. No gaps were made in the line at any time, and it is as certain as such things can bo that this company will carry ofl' tho honors of tho Indiana Legion. They will make an excellent, showing in the free-for-all, and it would not be surprising if they got a good place.

Indianapolis Journal: The drill_ of the McKeen Cadets and Evansville Rifles was something of a surprise to those who had never before seen their movements.

The Sentinel says of tho Cadet's drill: Promptly at 2 o'clock, after the bugle cull 1 had been sounded by the stronglunged bugler, the McKeen Cadets, of Terre Haute, marched on the grounds, making a very handsomo showing in their gray "uniforms and heinlets. Thev were headed by their own fine looking and efficient drum corps. Major Sewall, of General Carnahan staff, led the company, on a handsome iron-gray horse, and cut a very soldierly figure.

The ifcKeen Cadets were first inspected by the judges, and then put ith rough the manual of arms and

marching and countermarching, in all of which they did very well and often elicited applause from the audience. Probably tney went through the manual too fast, there being a latitude in these matters according to the tactics. Their drilling showed a number of errors, though none of a serious nature, including the drawing up of the men in double file for inspection when they should have been placed in single file. They were made to load and lire while lying on the ground, and this maneuver catches the audience every time, At the close of their drill, which took forty-five minutes, they were warmly applauded, and popular opinion assigns them either the first or second place in the State contest.

This is the day for the Grand Commandery exhibition drill. Of all the members of the Quapaw Guards only two are married.

In betting circles odds are offered that the Chickasaw Guards will win one of the prizes, and there are no takers.

The members of the Louisiana Light Artillery, company A and B,are known respectively as "The Cradle of Innocence," and "Sober Six." They deserve the titles.

The Bain Zuaves, of SI. Louis, attract general attention. Captain Robert Bain is a splendid looking gentleman, soldierly in his bearing, and a royal good fellow.

Among the ladies the Chickasaws, Quapaws and Crescents are the most generally admired—the former for manliness, the second for their youth and the latter for their beauty.

A citizen of Greencastle has offered to present the Asbury Cadets Battery $1,000 in cash if they carry off the first artillery prize. The boys, are confident of winning the prize and receiving tho present also.

It is currently reported that the reason the Portland Cavalry did not arrive en masse was because it camc in collission with two or three threshing machines en route, and suffered severely by the confiscation and impressment" of its horses into tho service of the same.

Among tho distinguished visitors on the ground yesterday were Gen, Jfls, A. Ekin, of tne army Col. R. D. Allen,

of the Kentuchy Military institute Col. J. G. Butler, Capt D. C. Broad lev, Capt. C. P. Walbridge, and Lieut. U, D." Comfort, of the third regiment, Missouri National Guard, and A. C. Stewart, of St. Louis, president of company Dr. L. M. Potter, of Springfield, O., Capt. D. F. C. Willis, of Louisville, and all the notabilities of whom previous mention has been made.

At the conclusion of tho Indiana State Legion prize drill Monday afternoon between thirty and forty members of the artillery and zouave companies. all dressed as comically as possible, got together and marched upon the drill grounds, making hideously discordant sounds with tin horns, and whatever imaginable thing could be turned into an instrument of noise. The body was composed of two de^ tachmenfs, one being intended as a burlesque upon the drum corps, and the other upon the Light Infantry. The procession was headed by an old dilapidated horse, upon which sat the

their full leader, puffing a cob pipe and carrying a club for a sword. On their banner was inscribed "Consolidated Band,

North, South, East and "West." After piarching around_ the drill grounds they appeared before the Governor's quarters for review. The whole thing was exceedingly ludicrous, and created considerable merriment.

Honk Likely to Get Left. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 3.—The Congressional campaign tor tho Second Tennessee District opened to-day at London, thirty miles west of this city. Congressman Ilouk and the Hon. "William Rulo spoke before the London County Convention was organized. A large number of Federal officers were here in the interest of Houk, and over 200 men from adjoining counties. A largo number of Democrats came here on horseback to assist Ilouk, in spite of all that could be done against Rulo by a motley drunken crowd, delegates instructed for Rule were appointed to the district convention, which meets in Knoxville August 4. London county has been heretoforo a strong Ilouk county. Some of the most prominent Republicans in this vicinity express the belief that Houk will run independently in caso Rule is nominated, which now appears to be about settled.

The Siungorfest Awards. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 4.—The following are tho awards at the Schutzen Park Competitive Samgerfest held last week: Highest prize, Gcrmania Mamnerchor, Baltimore, Maryland second class—first prize, Frohsiun, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania second prize, S cngerbund," Brooklyn third class—first prize, Deutsclien Liederkranz, Brooklyn second prize, Virginia, of Lippencott's. The prizes are diplomas, handsomely engraved and framed. There is great dissatisfaction at the judge's roport, the unanimous sentiment favoring the Arion first, and Orpheus second. A strong protest is being prepared.

A Kansas Zepliyr.

COLUMBUS, Kan., Jul}' 4.—A terrific wind storm, the heaviest ever witnessed in this section, passed over this city last evening, about 6 o'clock, followed by heavy rain and hail. A number of buildings, mostly out-houses and barns wero blown down one residence was leveled to the ground, slightly injuring a couple of children. The storm was not in the nature of a cyclone, but a violent wind passed from the north and northwest to the southwest.

Iowa Prohibitionists Celebrating:. DUBUQUE, la., July 4.—The Prohibitionists of this city held a praise meeting this evening over the result of the recent vote on the amendment in this State. The most noticeable result of the passage of this enactment so far, is the complete alienation of the German vote from the Republican partv, and the threatened loss of several Cengressmen when the election comes" off this fall, with a greatly reduced Republican vote on the State ticket. War to the knife on the Republican party is the programme.

Important Loss of Time. SCUAXTON, Pa., July 4.—Mc.Glynn's famous apostolic and revolutionary war automaton clock, erected in Iiollenback collierv, Wilkesbarre, requiring upwards of eight, years for completion. was destroyed by lire yesterday at Wilkesbarre. supposed work of an incendiarv. The clock was to have been exhibited at Saratoga during the season. The loss is irreparable.

Great Britain.

LONDON. July 4.—The marriage of the Rev. Carr Glyn and Lady Mary Campbell, took place at Kensington to-day. The Duke and Duchess of Argyle, Gladstone and several members* of the royal family were present.

The steamer Scotia, repairing the Anglo-American Cable Oo.'s Brest cable, put into Plymouth to-day. Several defects were repaired, but some were not located.

In the Commons to-day Gladstone renewed his motion declaring the urgency for the repression bill. Carried -402 to 19.

Justin McCarthy read a resolution, adopted by the Irish members, declaring that in consequence of their expulsion and the passageof thebill through ehe committee in their absence they would now leave the house, declaring the bill unconstitutional, and would not further participate in the debate on the bill in the Commons. All then quit the Chamber except Biggar, Callan, Shi el and Metze.

Gladstone stated that if the postponed clauses, of the repression bill were passed in the committee the arrears bill will be taken up to-morrow. The Speaker presented a new-rule for a agency, viz: If the committee decide by three to one majority that the question be now put the question shall be put forthwith. The amended clause as a substitute for the nineteeth clause of the repression bill was then carried, Biggar, Gallon, Metze and Richard Powers were the only members opposing. The Government's new clause providing for trial by special jurors of criminal cases and inflicting a fine of twenty pounds on special jurors not attending court, was passed. There is reason to believe that the decisive military action will be taken in Egypt, probably within twentyfour hours. The Cabinet met in Harcourt's room after the House of Com-, mons this afternoon and consulted with the Duke of Cambridge Com-mander-in-Chief of the army. It is rumored in the lobby of the House that Alexandria is to be immediately bombarded.

Listen to tlie Mocking-Bird. Loxnox, July 4.—The match between the American centre board boat boat Gleam and the new boat ^lock-ing-Bird was sealed to-day on Staten. The Gleam had the weather station start and was flying in the fresh breeze. Mocking-Bird at once took tlio_ lead and inaintained it to the end, finishing 12J minutes ahead of Gleam. Gleam improved her position at half distance but failed to catch Mocking-Bird.

Another Irish Murder.

DURLIX, July 4.—A man was shot dead early this morning in Seville Place, it is supposed by Fenians._ A person passing at the time noticed three men apparently .disputing. Pistol shots were heard and one man fell. The other two ran away. The man killed was left with the inscription, "God Save Ireland." The body had seven stabs and four bullet wourtds.

A. T. Stewart & Co.

NEW YORK, Julv 4.—The onco powerful firm of A. rr.Stewart & Co., as now constituted will remain open until September 1, and possibly longer. When Judge Hilton advertised the stock, good will and all that implies for sale at auction, in April last, quite a commotion was created in the mercantile world at the thought that such an old landmark was doomed. Projects were planned on many hands by which possession of the vast properties could bo obtained. Stock companies, comprising merchants of wealth and acknowledged business tact and ability, were formed, but their overtures were all of no avail. An amusement company, headed by Adam Forepaugli, the showman, and George B. Bunnell, the chief museum proprietor of America, was formed, but their oilers for the Stewart store were likewise declined. Now it is stated upon good authority that there will be no change in the grand old house during Mrs. Stewart's lifetime. She, in her elegant mansion at Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, is anxious to see the business run as heretofore, and has interposed objections to Judge Hilton's scheme to sell. There will be some changes in the "Co." of the firm, but it is highly probable that the old house will run on for some years to come.

Fighting Labor.

NEW YOKK, Jyjv 4.—About 200 young boys, girls aiift women congregated"' to-night about the Desbrosses street ferrv house and calmly awaited the arrival of the mon who were working in the place of the strikers on the other side of the river. Each one had concealed a missile of some kind,

either a'club or a stone. Presentla, A boat arrived from Jersey, and almdst the first to reach West street was a gang of Italian"workmen, while cli behind walked leisurely a nmnberbf the Russian refugees who have been employed to fill tlie "places of the freight-handlers.

In the meantime they were joined by a number of roughs, of more years, who also armed themselves with bricks and paving iatones to await .the next arrivals. They had not long to wait, for in a few minutes another unsu|pecting batch of men put in an appearance and passed alongside of the mob. As they did so a shower of stones met them, and, running pell-mell up and down West street, the Italians^ ana Jews endeavored to escape as quickly as they could. Two Jews and a couple of Italians ran into the liquor store of John McMahon on the corner of Hudson and Desbrosses streets, and, running behind the hogsheads, implored protection from the oartender. They were cut and bleeding and their clothing was covered with blood, while outside the door stood fully 100 infuriated persons who insisted on themen being thrown out of the place. The bartender pluckily jumped from behind the counter and faced the mob, whil^ the poor. wretches inside clung to hjs legs and arms and eried fJr him to save them.

At that moment the cry of police was raised and there was a scattering of the assemblage. A moment later several policemen entered the store and escorted the frightened and wounded men to a place of safety. Hardly had they disappeared with the party when a repitition of the two previous scenes at the ferry was being enacted.

A third boat hadtirrived and a full complement of the mob was in waiting to give the newcomers a warm reception. One tall, lanky fellow, apparently one of the Russian exiles, was selected, and another, an Italian of stout build, was hemmed in by the mob and pelted unmeicifully. When they had managed to break through the"*line they fled swift as deers up Desbrosses street, but only to get intp other hands, who kept up an incessant firing of stones. The Leonard Street Station had ordered out the full reserve force and under the command of Roundsman Slosson they went to clear the streets in earnest. Up and down Leigh. Desbrosses, Yesey, Greenwich, Washington and Hudson streets the policemen ran in pairs, and wherever a group was found they were dispersed in a lively fashion. It was well Known to the policemen that none of the striking freight-handlers were concerned in the mob. for they were in attendance at a mass meeting soine distance away during the exciting period, but many a poor innocent long-shoreman who happened to live in the neighborhood suffered severely to-night because he'happened to be out in a cliecken "jumper." Whenever a "jumper" appeared a blue-coat-ed guardian assailed him. Roundsman Slosson clubbed several men whose shoulders will be sore ro-mor-row morning.

It is not kuown whether there are any serious results of the affray, but' certain it is thai there will bo many broken heads and limbs and bruised bodies in the morning.

Cijieinnati Tragedy.

CINCINNATI, July 4.—Jacob Wdgner shot his wife, Teresa, about 6 o'clock this evening, at their residence in Damp Washington, in the northwestern part of the city, and then sliat himself. Mrs. Wagner was instantly killed, being sliat in the right cheek and the ball entering the brain. Wagner was shot iii the right temple, and was alive at 9 elock, but cannot live. He has been a horse trader, and was an intimate acquaintance of Henry Cole, who shot his wife and daughter and himself last week. Recently Wagner has been a pensioner on his wife, who has supported him while he has been given to drink. This afternoon he came home drunk and went to bed and slept, and when he arose he went into the kitchen where his wife and son the latter twenty years old, were. He was so affectionate to his wife that the son did not suspect any harm, and left the house. Soon after he was called back and found his mother dead beside the stove, and his father dying in the next room, with his revolver in his hand. Wagner was about forivfive years of age and his wife forty.

A Notable Prisoner.

DALLAS, Texas, July 4.—Sheriff Slaughter, of Erath county, went west to-night with Jack Hallis, alias "NoArni Jauk," en route to Stephenville jail, from which institution the prisoner escaped six months ago, after receiving a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary for horsestealing. Both his arms are off above the elbows, haying been crushtd in a sugar-mill when he was "a child, but the bones grew out several inches beyond the flesh, and their surfaces are rough like corn cobs, and Jack writes a beautiful hand by holding a pen beside his chin, pressing the protruding bone against it. He shoots a pistol and other firearms expertlv, and manages a horse as well as the average two-handed man. The height of his ambition appears to have been to steal horses successfully. He is about 30 years of age. lie was arrested in the Choctaw nation.

TERRB HAUTE, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 5,1882.

Dropped from the Sky. CHICAGO, July 4.—Vessels arrived in Chicago yesterday report a most remarkable occurrence at Muskegon on Friday night. There is no hoax about it, as the masters bringing the news are reliable men and the occurrence is verified by the citizens of Affnskegon, all of whom were terrified beyond description. At midnight Friday night there was an awful shock, heard throughout the whole city, accompanied by a bright, Bulphuric light, which illuminated the entire surroundings. Crews of craft in in the harbor sprang from their bunks and citizens, terribly alarmed, rushed to the windows. Many supposed that a severe thunderstorm had burst upon tiiem others thought that the great boilers of some of the numerous immense mills had exploded and not a few attributed the deafening report to the first crash of "'the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds." When the people ventured out shortly afterward, howeverj they beheld one of the most calm and beautiful moonlight nights ever witnessed. The only explanation of the mystery is that a great aerolite fell into Muskegon lake.

Persons employed in and about the mills in the lower part of the city saythat a large ball of fire fell into "Musdegon lake, semingly striking the surface 300 or 400 feet from tne shore. James Fisk felt the shock perceptibly, and Mr. Archibald Lee was shaken up by it—both of these parties were on Western avenue at the time. Messrs'. Frank Johnson, Levi Beardslev, Charles C. Moulton and Fred. Miller, all of whom lodge on Western avenue, state that the buildings in which they have rooms were shaken by the explosion. Mr. Hugh Leonard, the druggist of 'lower town,' who had just retired to his room on Western avenue, states as follows: 'I saw the glare, and it seemed as though the entire light was. concentrated in my room. At first it appeared as .though my window curtains were wrapt in names.' Where the ajrolite struck there was great commotion, 'as though a ton of solid substance had fallen into it from a great height. It is currently believed that a great meteoric stone fell, and it may be well for steamers and sailing vessels to be guarded for the present while passing the point where the stone is supposed to have struck. This is represented as being from 300 to 400 feet from the shore that lines the lake between White & Swan's and the Bedler mills. There was not the least at the time, most bril-

sign of a cloud in the sky the night being one of the liant remembered. Small prospect near the spot where the stone is supposed to have struck the surface of the water. This meteoric phenomenon is town talk to-day, particularly among the inhabitants'of the "lower town."

Digging Them Up.

MoNTEKuv.Cal.,July4.—Thevaultsof the old Carmel Mission were opened yesterday, under the direction of Rev. Father Casaniova, for tho purpose of exhuming the bodies of Father Gunipero Serro and liis companions, founders of the California missions. The remains of the following were identified: Father John Crespin, buried June 1,1782 Father Gunipero Sarro, buried August 28, 1784 Father Julian Lonez, buried July 15, 1797, and Father Fermen FranciscoLoscuin,buried June 2ti, 1803. The redwood coffins and skeletons were in good condition, and portions of the silk robes and bands were still preserved. The object of the exhumation was to". 6et at rest the doubts as to the burial place of pioneer missionaries.

Cold Blooded Murder. DALLAS, Tex., July 4.—Information reached here to-day of the murder on Saturday last of Jacob Forgotton, a leading" Hebrew merchant of that place. The details as reported are of the most cold-blooded character. The victim went bathing with three other men. On return he found a customer in his store and proceeded to wait on him. His bathing companions entered and one asked Forgotton if ho was going to treat, and he agreed to. Forgotton denied having promised to treat, when his batlung companions denounced him as a liar, ana one of them drew a pistol and shot him to death. All three were arrested and jailed. The remains of the murdered man were burried in Dallas to-dav.

The White Man's Party in Delaware. Washington Correspondence of the Augusta (Ga.,) Chronicle.

I asked a Delaware man what lie thought of the Republican move for the capture of his State. He said: "It will not succeed this time, but may hereafter. It requires very delicate management for the Democrats to maintain their supremacy, and any bad leadership would be fatal to us. Remember that the Republicans have the majority of rich men, and that 7,000 colored people vote in a mass against us." I asked him why the Democrats did not attempt to divide tlue colored vote. lie replied: "The day we do that our doom is sealed. Strange as it may appear to you, it is nevertheless a fact that the chief strength of the Democracy of Delaware consists in steady refusal to solicit or to take a negro vote. Many more than 7,000 white men adhere to us because we draw tho color line in our political contests, and stick to that determination religiously. If there was a white man's party, pure and simple, it is the Democracy of Delaware.

Nicolini's Hair Eestorer.

London Cor. Philadelphia Press. Mme. Patti's action being ended, I may perhaps tell a little tale about Mr. Emanuel, who brought the action against her. This gentleman really acts for Signor Nicolini as well as for Mme. Patti, and so hail a double lion upon the Patti establishment. For possibly you are aware that Nicolini his "early days was a barber. It was, indeed, as a "hair dresser that he picked up his lawful wife. She was an actress in a circus, and used to ride baje-backed steeds. One day her hair was dressed by Nicolini, the barber. She noticed lie was fairly good-look-ing, and fell in love with liim she noticed, too, that he had a good voice, and thought it might lie trained— (mark, gefttle reader, th* it's a "many vears ago," as they say in "Pinafore.'

Mr. Nicolini's good looks and good voice have disappeared long since.) The end was that she had him put under amnsical professor, and then married him. Very naturally Signor Nicolini repaid her for all this by leaving her for Mme. Patti. But we always return to our first loves, and Mr. Nicolini's first love was pomatum. He liked to dress the human head divine, He loved iO grease it, and brush it, I and part the hair on the scalp, and rec-

ingj and at last inventing a wonderful liquid for making hair grow upon bald pates without difficulty. This done, what more natural than that lie should engage Mr. Emanuel to sell it for him. And hereby hangs a tale For a long while Nicolini toiled to persuade the Prince of Wales to let him operate upon the royal pate, but without success. The Prince has a head like an animated billiard ball, but he did not like the idea of bein shut up a week or two with a scaldei scalp. And lie politely but firmly de1 clined. So that Nicolini had to seek a bosom friend, and he discovered one in old Sir Michael Costa, who has long since had a bald and shining pate Sir Michael submitted, and Nicolini and Emanuel between them rubbed the pomatum in, and away went Costa to a concert to conduct. liut no sooner had he begun the music than his scalp began to. itch., What could he do. He must positively scratch it in presence of all the audience. So Jie did first a little, then a great deal, till a general titter arose, first amonst the hearers, and then among the players, while poor old Costa went nearly mad. At last he could conduct no longer, and, throwing down his baton at the conclusion of a piece, exclaiming, "I can conduct no longer my head is on fire!" he rushed oft' to Nicolini's house. What transpired there I do not know but for some days afterward both Nicolini and Costa kept their respective rooms. The wicked ones say that they had a fight, but I disbelieve this. I disbelieve it, because I know that Nicolini would not fight he would rather seek refuge in the chimney. But there is no hair on the top of Costa's head, from which I infer tliat the Nicolini process has either failed or been suddenly stopped.

Gen. Oruffc at the Battle of Stone River. From Article b.r M. Quad in the Dotrolt Free Press.

Gruit had moved up with Hazen. He had a more desperate foe in his front, while his lines did not have as good cover. After some sharp fighting he gained the fence which then and yet skirts the edge of the cotton field, and here lie waited for what he knew would not long" be delayed. When the Confederates came out of the woods it was with a determination to walk over him. Had they pierced his lines Grose' brigade must have surrendered,forit was already fighting on front and flank. Standart's battery was on the knoll just in the rear of Cruft's center, and the moment the gray lines broke cover they were in point blank range of grape and canister. It was hurled into them with awful vengeance. The flags of three or four regiments went down time after time, and every .discharge opened lanes through which the Federal infantry could see the cedars behind, but the one battery was not sufficient to check them. The ranks spread out to lessen the effects of the fire, and with a yell from every living man the mass charged the fence.

Under instructions from'the officers the soldiers held their fire until the line was hardly a stone's throw away. Then it was delivered with such effect that every fourth man went down. There was a momentary panic, but the living leaped over the dead, to close up, shoulder to shoulder, and in the rush the fence was gained. Here, for five or six minutes, took place a combat seen but once again during the entire war. The Federals held one side of the fcncc for half a mile, the Confederates the other. Gunswere rested the rails and discharged at men little more than a foot from the muzzles, and the bayonet was used over and over again on both sides all along the line.

We tried to tear the fence down," said a Confederate officer to me, "but vour men jabbed us with the bayonet and struck us with clubbed muskets. I had that left hand on a rail, in the act of climbing over, when a Federal smashed it out of shape with the butt of his musket, and at the same moment the man next to hiin jabbed his bayonet at my bead and took my hat ofl". The smoke settled down like a fog, and of all the screaming, yelling and cursing I ever heard in a charge that fight for the fence beat it. Some of our inen who mounted the fence were pulled over and made prisoners, and men were shot at such close range that their clothing was set on fire. It seemed to me as if we had been there nn hour when the recall blew, but 1 ifterward ascertained that it had not been fifteen minutes since wo left the woods. We could not carry the fence, and we had to fall back."

C'ruft joined the center with his right. If he could be routed the center could be flanked and driven. lie realized this and ho prepared for a second onslaught. While the Confederates were re-forming, his regiments replenished their cartridge boxes, some of them were advanced or retired to secure better cover, and hundreds of tho soldiers protected their front with logs and sods. In twenty minutes they were ready. So were the Confederates.

Rossini's Wives.

Temple Bar. It was said that he married his first wife, Mme. Colbran, for her money that is certainly not so, for she had none but I am sorry, very sorry, to sav that his second wife, whose antecedents I mav have some opportunity to illustrate, be most assuredly married because she had 20,000 francs (£800) income. He told mc very frankly that his music would not give him bread but two bankers—James Rothschild and the Comte Pillet-Will—whenever he had a small sum of money invested it for him, and when the moment seemed propitious they sold and reinvested it, so that after a time his gains accumulating, and being always reinvested, he at last had a -fortune of 3,000,000 francs (£120.000), which, as is well known, he left to his birthplace, Pesaro, after the death of his wife who during her lifetime had full command over it. This wife's name was not Pelissier, as given in many instances, notably in Grove's "Musical Dictionary," where other dates are usuallv pretty correct, but her name was Olvinpe Desguilliers, andaltbough of less" than modest extraction, she was so handssme that Horace Vernet. one of her numerous admirers, painted her as Judith, and as such she can at any moment be seen in the Louvre Gallery. Before she married Rossini she never was reproached with heartlcsnes3 to anybody who professed to find her lovely. Vernet, just mentioned, Jules Janin, a Monsieur Pelissier, whose name she temporarily adopted, telon Vhabilnde de ces damas, and, perhaps, afte.r the fashion of the servants in "Gil Bias," who one and all adopted the names of their masters, and St. Georges, were among her prominent admirers. It is with St. Georges that she once played the following

ommend a hair restorer so we find comedy. He was him in the midst of the Patti society Jamn, and she and St. Georges had concocting great schemes of hair-dress- several passages oi arms about him.

O a a a dressed in a white robe, with_ long sky-blue ribbons round the waist, at the shoulders, and in the hair. Suddenly the door opened, and pale as a ghost, St. Georges entered. By hook or by crook he had been informed of his hated rival having been there again, and he came determined to break off all further connection with the faithless beauty. She swore most tragically thatshe was innocent—when ever was woman guilty ?—that she loved only him, and so on, but he was immovable, and said: "I leave you and orever!" "Np," she cried, "I will kill myself if you do." "Farce," he said, anil departed. She lived in the fourth story, and he had therefore, some time to devote to the descent. Fancy, however, his horror, when ho arrived in the courtyard, he suddenly hears the window" up-stairs noisily open, sees sky-blue ribbons flying through the air, hears a loud scream, and before him to the ground falls his faithless one. With one jump he was by her side, v/hen he discovered—a bolster dressed in a white robe with blue ribbons, which she had flung down to frighten him by a suicidieal comedy! This shows what the woman was capable of! I will sav, however, that she did the honors of "her house, frequented by the greatest artistic, diplomatic, scientific, and financial celebrities, with rare tact and intelligence, although occasionally she had horrible outbursts of vulgarity. I remember one evening at a grand soiree, the Comto Nieuwerkerke, Director du Louvre, enjoying a great position at court, coming to Rossini just before joing to tho Tuileries. and consequentgrandc taiue, covered with orers. He happened to speak to a lady when some one began to sing, and Mme. Rossini deliberately turned to him, screaming at-the top of her voice: 'Ici on ne cause pas quand on chante, vous la-bas, le monsieur aux decorations!" The people looked aghast terrified, and the Count Nieuwerkerke quietly got up, took his departure, and never entered Rossini's house again. Yet when Rossini was suffering, she nursed him with a marvelous devotedness. There certainly was in that woman a mixture of littleness and of reatness, often to be found in obscure

French women whom natural charm or accident elevates above their proper station.

Slashed Himself with a Razor. Special to St. Louis Republican. OMAHA, Nob., June 29.—Three weeks ago a young man named Hodges, good family in Boston, camo to Omaha, seeking employment, and armed with excellent letters to leading citizens here, taking rooms on Dodge street. He failed to find a situation, and became gloomy and despondent. Failing to make his appearance from his room, Monday, members of the family in the house supposed he was ill, and rapped at his door, inquirng if they could do anything for him but he did not open "the door, and said that he did not care for anything. Tuesday.at 5 o'clock he still remained in his room, declining any attention and Mr. Wild went and asked how ho felt. He said that he felt better, and believed lie would go out into the open air. About 7 o'clock he dime down stairs, and when the servant girl wont up to put the room in order she was horrified to find the bedding was saturated with blood in such quantities that a person who had lost so much might reasonably be supposed to be in danger of dying from exhaustion. Returning from the direction of tho Post Office within twenty minutes after he had left his rooni, AVilde met him and asked him what he had been doing to himself. He endeavored to pass without appearing to have heard the question. Wilde repeated it, and then Hodges claimed that a boil on the back of his neck had been bleeding. This was manifestly an untruth, and Wilde said that, under the circumstances, he could not occupy the room longer. Hodges replied that he would vacate it, and went up-stairs. Coining down, he started down the street, which was the last seen of him. An examination of the room showed that his razor lay near the bed, nnd was covered with blood. The jiools in tho bed indicated that he had made incisions in his body in two places to open arteries. Profuse as was the hemorrhage, it had failed to drain away his life, and the only supposition is that he went to the river to drown himself and finish the work which he had begun with the razor.

The Bee Pastures of Mount ShastaTho Century. Shasta, as we have already suggested, is a fire mountain, created by a succession of eruptions of ashes and molten lava, which, flowing over tho lips of its several craters, grew outward and upward like the trunk of a knotty exogenous tree Then followed a strange contrast. The glacial winter came on, loading the cooling mountain with ice, which flowed slowly outward in every direction, radiating from tho summit in the form of one vast conical glacier—a down-crawling mountain of ice upon a fountain of smoldering fire, crushing and grindingfor centuries its brown, flinty lavas, with incessant activity, and thus degrading and remodeling the entire mountain. When, at length, the glacial period began to draw near its close, the ico mantle was gradually melted ofl* around the bottom, and, in receding and breaking into its present fragmentary condition, irregular rings and heaps of moraine matter were stored upon its flanks. The glacial erosion of most of the Shasta lavas produced a detritus, composed of tough, sub-angu-lar bowlders of moderate size and porous gravel and sand, which yields freely to the transporting power of running water. Under nature's management the next marked geological event made to take place in the histyry of Mount Shasta was a water ffood of extraordinary magnitude, which acted with sublime energy upon this prepared glacial detritus, sorting it out and carrying down immens&

flood-beds of moraine soil, thus suddenly and simultaneously laid down and joined edge to edge, that now form the main honey-zone.
