Cameos wer9 about ready to ccme in with the introdaetion of classic craper:i3, tut Miss Anderson fcas accelerated thir vogue. Cameos ar likely to be worn as oral medallions, attaching cnatelalne "watctis and in girdles for fastening gowns. Cameos are with us, the eameo eruttcr has arrived, and ia one instance, at least, she is a Ionian, a widow, who on her bridal tour vai fascinated by the work of the lava earrars torn Jng out souvenirs for the carious at the foot of ilount Vemvias. There is no lessen for self- - dependent women like that of quickness in seizin k an opportunity. This cameo cutter is one f the -first in the field. She has watched the trend of fashion till she saw the approach of an ilea. Looking ever the relies of travel he baa brought out, from boxes long laid by, pieces cf. agate, bits of lava, shells from many seas. The art of carving these ia relief is not easily acquired, but patienceand nicety of band art the qualities chiefly oeeded; these and tha pratiee she had tangling the tools of the cameo-workers oa that last and gone stay in Rome. The work: is that of showing raised figures, in light or dark tints according to the vetoing; of the shell or stone, the bead, landscape, wreath, bit of sea, or other design chosen. When the medallion is finished it cay be joined with others in links for a girdle or set aa a brooch or used for inlaying a fancy table or other piece cf household furniture. Two danf btera of a former New York judge are among the most successful introducers of Christmas novelties, and their desiens for the eon in? holidays are already being placed in the field. These women live in & fine house which they own, tut their father let them not a cent ofiaoney to run the establishment, and for a long time they took in sewing and did fancy work to obtain the wherewithal to maintain a ahow of comfort amonj their former frisnda. Ingenuity, not to say inventive genius, is a woman's only salvation in straits like these, and the judge's daughters are among the few who have cudgeled their brains to some financial purpose. There are always holiday books. We dress and furnish a la Pompadour; then, say the judge's daughters why not read a la Pompadour? The holiday library, tinder their bands, will yield to the Louis XV fashion. They bare designed binding for gift Tolumes rarisd according to the tale to te told within. Novels will lie on the parlor table in a cove? of old flowered lampas or brocade. Poems will bide their tenderness behind gilt or enameled r.wbon leaves. Kemovabla covers of bright pinked out silks will be put on magazines to bring their motley colors into barmony with the prevailing tints of goxtn or room. For the dinner table they bave contrived new finger bowls of crystal set within moss cups wreathed about with yellow cowslips, or almost bidden under red partridge bsrries. They bare somethin; new for a piano lamp shade and something lor a fire-screen.

The work of theso sisters is al.ways spoken for six months beforehand by one of the largest of the city houses. .'; A plump and rosy Englishwoman, who made a runaway rnr.teh from the old country years ago, and who came all in good time to grief with ber husband and to Brooklyn without him, is beooming famous in decorative art circles as a weaver. She has gone back boldly to the hand-loom, and with the simple technique learned at ber father's knee, in a weavers hut in Kent, she produces a peculiar effect which is not to be had in the factory stuffs. Her specialty is a greenish-blue eilk which sets before the eyes of everybody who sees it the shimmering of the moonbeams on a midnight sea. Art needlewomen rave over it, and because she can do something which neoody else can do she is assured a comfortable living. I do not know of a stranger business or one more delicat9 to handle than that of a young girl who acts as chaperon. The damsel who is pnt under such curious surveillance is a pretty creature, innocent and high strung, whose father bas a faney that she is in danger from the dudes and mashers whose attentions flatter ber on Broadway. She is too old for a governess and when he engaged a companion she ponted, voted her stupid and ran away from tsr to take her walks alone. She would ot be chaperoned, and sohsr mother, who is an Invalid, found her a friend in the shape of a Wight-eyed maiden of her own age, who visit)d at the house, made her acquaintance, and rom whom she became inseparable. This new friend promenades with her, shops with her, and ?oei to matinee with her, She helps her hare rooU time, and she keope her eyes on the too ifficioos young men. It is not an office that very girl could be trusted with, but the chaperon in her Wens is a judieious one, and she tarns a snjg little sum for pocket-money.

small economy sometimes practiced by col','e girls lias taken root in a b:g apartment jdse up-tcfc-n. A stodent Ln one of the mediial colleges for women has a single room away an under the reof, and maintains ber position in spite of the altitude and the comparative ex Xeufce, because of the fact that she is able to sarn a'triCe toward btr expenses by services rendered. Immediately on her advent she lauted eards to be distributed to all the rooms, setting forth the faet that for small specified lams buttons would be sewed on boots, stockings darned, rents mended, ribbons turned and freshened, bodices reboned, sod various other dress arrangements attecdel to by leaving the articles in want of repairs at No. , floor. Tier seedlework gives her occupation nearly every evening, owing to the obvious convenience of having such thing! done for one without going outside of the building. By gas-light she repairs gowns, by daylight she studies how to re pair the bodies tinder the gowns. Quite as important as the problem of how to earn money ia the problem of how to maks what you do earn go a long way. A group of teachers and students are trying a very pretty experiment in this line. There are ten or a dozen of them rooming two and two in the same buildiag. The board was not particularly inviting, end they scoured the neighborhood nntil they discovered a woman who was willing to fsed them upon a slightly different plan. At the beginning of each week they place ia her bands $4 for each person concerned; for this sum she makes it her business to submit, every evoalng, a bill of fare of the edibles she is prepared to furnish for breakfast and dinner csxt day. From the bill so submitted the groos chooses at itsownpleasure.andthe 'meals so bespoken are sent in regularly and spread in the largest of the rooms occupied by the eo-operating band. Their new scheme "uakes them thoroughly independent, and while the food thus cooked outside is very simple, it .Jias proved thus far more satisfactory than any other variety of cheap board. It is a capable woman who has bad a business thus thrust upon her. and she i full of devices for transporting her dishes hot, and, if unlcoked-for difficulties do rot present themselves, of hiring assistance, looking for other customers and enlarging ber trade. There are plenty of women suffering the discomforts of light housekeeping who would be glad, it is presumed, to bave domestic problems thus simplified by wholesome meals f roni next door.

INDIANA TROOPS IX BATTLE

The Fierce and liloodv Contest Between North and South at Chancellorsville, And the Part Taken Therein by the TwentySeventh Kfjrircent of Indiana Volunteers The C'loriou Record of the Ilcosiers. Written by John Erernehan, of Washington. D. C, acd real at the reunion of the Twentv seventh Kegiment at Washington. led.. Sept. 2. 183:. Comrades The regiment left camp at Stafford Court-house, Virginia, at sunrise on the morning of April 27, 1S&3, and marched on that day to near Hartwood Church, on the road leading to Kelly's Ford, an the Rappahannock, a distance of twelve miles, and encamped there for the sight. We started next morning, and marched to within one mile of the ford, where we again encamped for the sight At daylight next morning the regiment, with its corps, the Twelfth, commanded by Gen. II. W. Slocam, crossed the Rappahannock river on the pontoon bridge at Kelly s Ford, built the night before, and took the advance in the march toward Fredericksburg. The Third Brieade (Ruger's) cf the First Division (William 'a), to which the Twenty seventh Indiana belonged, had the honor of leading the advance, the Third Wisconsin and Twenty-seventh Indiana as skirmishers, preceded bv a squadron of cavalry, and followed by the Second Massachusetts and tha other regiments of our brigade and division by the flank, in the one road; the Second Division (Geary's) following at a proper distance. The Eleventh Corps (Howards), which we passed after cruising the pontoon bridge, followed; and, in this order, the column advanced rapidly, but with the expectation of meeting determined opposition, for confederate cavalry in front kept us in sight until well on the way, and exchanged several shots with our cavalry, without injury to either party. The Twenty-seventh Regiment, as stated before, was deployed as skirmishers on the right of the road, the left resting on the road. We advanced over the open country for the first mile, and through the woods, with cocsiderable underbrush, for the next four or live miles, without encountering any opposition until we reached the Rapidan river at Germania Ford, where a confederate force of bridge-builders and armed guards where found, which surrendered to our cavalry and the three regiments of our brigade which led the advance. They had not progressed in their work far enough to help the brigade in crossing the stream, and the ford, on aceount of the heavy rain the day before, was all but impassable. At this juncture a council was held near the ford by Generals S!ocum, Williams, Ruger and others, to devise some plan by which enough troops could cross the rirer and get possession of the heights on the other side, until a bridge could be built over the piers of the burnt bridge for the remainder of our corps and the Eleventh Corps to cross. General Williams left Generals Slocum and Roger, rode up to Colonel Colgrove, who, with his regiment, was resting within a few yards of the ford, and asked bim if be thought his regiment could wade the river. Colgrove looked at the rapid current, pulled his nose, looked at his men and sized them up. He then looked General Williams squarely in the face and said: "General, by if any regiment can wade that river mine ean." The command, "Attention! forward, march," was given by our colonel: the men pushed into the stream, shouting and singing "Father Grimes, that good old man," the water to their arm-pits; and, with their eartridge-boxes slung on their fixed bayonets, succeeded in crossing without a man losing bis footing. To show what General Slocum, our corps commander, thongbt of this difficult undertaking, I will read the following extract from bis report. He says: The events of the last few days have greatly increased my confidence in my command. Xost of my corps marched more than sixty miles in three and a half days, over pad roads and through a severe rain-storm, the men carrying on their persons eight davs' ration (mora than double the amount ever before carried by any troops in tbis army), besides sixty rounds ot ammunition and the usual amount of clothing. On this march the command crossed two rivera, a portion of it fording on of them. I hare never" witnessed a scene that tended more to increase my confidence in our troops, or that so strongly excited my admiration, than that presented by the two brigades (Roger's and Knipe's) of Williams's division, in fording the Kapidau river. This ford is a very difficult one at all times, the current being very rapid, the bed of tbo river uneven and very rocky, and the water in many places Doing at least four feet in depth. Not only the flicers. bat every soldier seemed to appreciate tbe necessity of speedily gaining a position on the opposite bank, and they seemed to vie with each other in the eagerness to execute their orders. The fact that from nearly every regiment one or more men were swept down tbe river by the rapid current, and were only saved from drowning by cavalrymen and boatmen stationed bolow the ferd for the purpose of rescuing such as might lose their footing, did not seem in the sliguest degree to dampen their ardor. After fording the Rapidan, as described, the regiment moved forward about a mile en the plank road leading through the wilderness to Chancellorsville, where it was put on picket duty after dark; the men's clothing being wet to the arm-pits from fording the rirer, and being exposed to a cold drenching rain during tbe entire night, without fire, food, or shelter, suffered very much, but were in tbe best of spirits. The regiment marched with the brigade next day, the 30tb, to Chancellorsville, where it arrived about 1 o'clock ia the afternoon, and bivouacked in the woods near the clearing, abont half a mtle west of the Chancellor House, and just south of the plank road. ' On May 1, about 11 a. m., tbe regiment, with the brigade and division, moved out on the plank road about one mile oast of tbe Chancellor Home, formed a line of battle, and advanced under a sharp fire of shell close to the enemy's line, then baited in tbe woods wnere we remained for about one hour, but returned to our camp, with the corps, without an engagement, where we arrived about 1 o'clock. Just as the men had stacked their guns, we heard a heavy volley of musketry and a rebel yell in a southeasterly direction; the men at once, and without orders, sprang to their enns and were patting oa their accoutrements, when the colonel received tbe order to move his regiment in the direction of the firing. The regiment moved rapidly and in good order through the woods, and across marshy ground until it reached a cleared field on elerated grounds, about GCO yards from tbe point of starting, where the regiment was formed in lino of battle behind the crown of the hill, and awaited the advanco of the enemy, but be did not advaoee any farther than our picket line, at tbe edge o'f the heavy woods, about 200 yards in front of our line. Soon after the regiment moved a short distance to tbe right, and around a point of timber, on higher ground, and built a barricade of fence rails and brush at the edg of the woods. We remained there daring the night. From this position we had a fine view of the country in front of us for some distance. Next morning, May 2. we could see, through an opening in the woods about one mile in front of us, the enemy's infantry, followed by artillery, wagon and ambulanee trains, passing our front towards the right in a southwesterly direction. A battery in front of our regiment drove them off tbe road they were on, and threw the column into great confusion as it poured its well-directed shot into its midst. About 12 o'clock. Birney's division of the Third Corps moved out on oar right, and advanced, with the Twentieth: Indiana as skirmishers, to pierce this column and gain possession of the road over which it was passing. Biroey struck the rear-guard of Jackson's corps, about two miles to tbe right and front of us, capturing two pieces of artillery and about 200 prisoners. About 5 o'clock in tbe afternoon our division (Williams's) was ordered to make adstourto the left and front in support of Birney's division; we moved out about two miles, a portion of the way through heavy woods and a dense evergreen thicket. Our skirmishers had just engaged the enemy, when an order was received to about-faee, march back and occupy our barricade, which we bad left less than an hour before. Our reaching the open ground to tbe front of our original petition, we eaw our works swarming with fugitives of the Eleventh Corps, Howard's). The "Indiana Soldier." describes the scene at this time, which is as follows:' General Jackson's corps, twenty-five thontand ate, had marched unmolested, exc j.'t by Ilirney's attack upon its resr. across the wholeof Hooker's "front, and was now breaking from the woods npot Howard's corps. Howards troops were ti.;wderstr;:ck. One moment thev quailed before the fare, and fury, and Siercing yells of the unexpected foe; the next, ro aliened by the awful echoes and reverberations of the forest, they broke their lines and rolled over to the rear in the wildest confusion. Howard strugg'ed in agonizing but fruitless endeavor to control them, bieksls. Berry. Meade, and Hooker strive to fill the breach. Whliains facd about and haatere 1 bark from tbo support of Hirney. His dirtsio 1 quivered as it neared the ungovernable multitudi, ghastly and unnerved by fetr, tut the shock was momentary. His advance regiment cur Twentysevmth marched with steady step to its asalgcei position, and each other regiment tell, without confusion, into its plaea. While approaching the seer.e just described, there was danger of our regiment being swept off the field by tbo fleeing multitude, but Colonel Colgrove was equal to the emergencv. He stood in his saddle-stirruos and shouted in a voiee as clear and loud as a steam whistle: "Steady, boys! Wboa. John! Steady, John! Whoa, boys!" The Colonel's horse wts named "John," but he and the boje

understood the commands, and aeted accordingly. The boys touchel elbows and moved to the top of a cleared ridga, about six hundred yards to the left of our original works, where tbe regiment baited, facing a ravine, and heavy woods beyond, about three hundred yards from our line, out of which he men of Howard's corps were pourinr, with the enemy yelling after them. The oSkers and men of this cores in our front tried to break through oar ranZs, but not one of them was permitted to do so. They were compelled to pass around our flanks. The enemy at tnis point was checked by a well, directed fire of shell, grape and canisterfrom a battery of the stampeded corps, which Colonel Colgrove foreed into action. The line of our brigade in this new position was nearly perpendicular to the plank road on our right, and tbe barricades built by us on tbe elevated grounds mentioned above on our left and front. The brigade was in two lines, the Third Wisconsin, Second Massachusetts and Twenty-seventh Indiana forming tbe first line, the Third Wisconsin being oo tbe right, and tbe Twenty-sersnth Indiana on the left, with its left resting on a little creek; tho Thirteenth New Jersey and One-hundred-and-seventh New York the second line. In this position we remained, with skirmishers in ftont, during the night. During the early part or the night, General Sickles, who bad been with Birney some distance to our left and front, and interposed by some of Jackion's troops, rode np to our regiment and congratulated Colonel Colgrove upon the conduct of bis men in holding that position; that it was the key to our lines, and saved his (Birney s) division from capture. Soon after tbis General Sickles made a furious assault upon the enemy to bring his division into connection with tho main ltne. now composed of Williams's and Berry's divisions, forming the ruht center. Tbe scene that took place at tbis time is described in tho followiug extract from a letter written by General Williams a few days alter, which is a graphic pen-picture of that night attack. Ho says: A tremendor.s roll of infantry fire, ming'ed with yeliings and shootings, almost diabolical and infernal, ononod the conllict on tbo side of .Sickles's division. For some time ray infantry and artillery kept silent, and in the intervals of the musketry 1 could distinctly hear the oaths "and imprecations of tho rebel oRicers, evidently having hard work to keep their men from stampeding. In tbe meantime jSickles's artillery opened, firin? over the heads of the infantry, and the din of arms and inhuman yeliings and cursings redoubled. All at onee Berry's division, across the road on our right, opened in heavy volleys, and Knipe (commanding my right brigade, next to the plank road on the south) followed suit.

Best (chief of artillery of the Twelfth Corps) be&n to thunder with his thirty odd pieces. In front and on the flank, shell, and ebot, and bullets were poured into these wood, which were evidently crowded with rebel masses, prepar eg for the mornirg attack. Along our front and Sickles "s fl.mk probably 15,000 or more musketry were belching an almost incessant stream of flame, while from the elevations just in rear of each line from forty to fifty pieces of artillery kept up an uninterrupted roar, reechoed from the woods with re-doubled echo, fram the bursting shells which seemed to 11 every part of them with fire and fury. Human lansuae can give co idea of such a scene such an infernal and yet sublime combination of sour.d, and flame, and smoke, and dreadful yells of rage, of paiu. of triumpn, or of defiance. Suddenly, almost on tbe instant, the tumult is hushed; hardly a voice can be heard. One would almost suppose that the combatants were holding breath to listem for one another's movements. But the contest was not renewed. Early on the next morning, the 3d. the enemy moved forward to the attack, the lines of our brigade, ia its then position, and that of Geary's division on our left forming an angle, the point of intersection being on the creek on the left of the Twenty-seventh Indiana. Tbe angle thus formed looked out toward a little valley, through which meandered a oreek, and tbe cleared fields and elevated grounds, before mentioned, then occupied by a brigade of Birney's division which was attacked first, and were soon foreed or ordered baek, a portion cf them, particularly a regiment of red-legged Zouaves, coming pell-mell tbrourh onr lines. Soon after the attnek extended to our regament, and the two regiments at right angle with ns on our left. This attack was made by Archer's brigade of A. P. Hill's division, "Stonewall" Jackson's corps. Tbis is the brigade we fought in tbe wheatfield at Cedar mountain. How Archer's brigade was cheeked and repulsed, after be drove the brigade of Birney's division from the works in front of us, is described in the following extract from his report He says: The next morning about sunrisowa moved forward to the attack through a den?e pine timber, driving before us the enemy's skirmishers, and r. a distance of four hundred yards emerging into tne open field in front of a battery which was placed on an abrupt hill near a spring-house. We advanced at double-quick and captured four pieces of artillery and about one hundred prisoners, driving the infanty supports in confusion before us. From this position the enemy could be seen in heavy force in the woods, which commenced about t0O yards diagonally to the right and front, and in the high open gtound occupied by Ruger's brigsde to the front. No other troops of our army were at this time in sight of us. After A few moments' halt to reform our line, which had become somewhat broken by it rapid advance through the wood. I proceed to attack the wood which 1 bave mentioned as lyirg diagonally to the front and right My brigade, which was at the beginning only 1,40(7 strong and entirsly unsupported, attacked with great intrepidity, but the position was strongly intrenched and manned by vastly greater numbers, and wre forced to retire from within seventy yards of the intrenchments. Wo again formed and advanced to the attack, and were azain forced to ietire. I now moved my brigade to the point where we had captured the batteries to await the arrival of reinforcements. After the repulse of Archer's brieade, which was easily done by the Twentieth Connecticut and One-hundred-and-forty-fiftb New York regiments on Geary's right, and the Twenty-seventh Indiana on Ruger's left the latter regiment having to fire at left oblique came the tug of war. A Sooth Carolina brigade, a crack organization, commanded by General McGowan, with a sheut of defiance rushed sqaarely upon our brigade, but were checked. This brigade consisted of fire South Carolina regiments, and was formed in line in the following order from right (their right) to left: First South Carolina (Orr's) Rifles, First South Carolina Infantry, Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth South Carolina infantry regiments. In this formation the First South Carolina (Orr's) Rifles was opposite the Twenty-seventh Indiana during this desperate contest. No doubt many of you remember the rebel color sergeant who planted hie flagstaff in front of our regiment and was immediately shot down. Lieutenant-colonel Harrison, of the First South Carolina (Orr's) Rifles, mentions that incident in bis report. He says: The regiment being ordered to charge, Sergt. L. R. Wardlaw. of Company B, eeized the colors and boro them far to the front, planting them in tho face of a destructive fire from the eaemy, and calling on the res-iment to follow. Whilo bearing them with such conspicuous gallantry, ho feU, it is feared, mortally wounded. The terrible punishment inflicted upon the enemy by our regiment is so graphically described in the following extract from the modest report of Celonel Colgrove that I will read it. He says: Shortly after sunrise on Sunday morning, the 3d, the enemy, having obtained possession of our breastworks on the right, advanced on our line and opened lire. In a very short time the whele line became engaged. Tho enemy alvancel steadily, delivering their fire with telling f ffect. Our whole line stood firm. No part of the line yielded an inch or wavered. The enemy poured in rf giment after regiment of fresh troops, determined to break the line, but whenever and wherever they came they found our fire so deadly that they were forced to bolt and seek shelter behind the timber and rises in th-s ground. After the battle had progressed au hour or more, my officers notified me that their ammunition was running out. 1 immediately rode up to the right of the line to find you Kuger. 1 found that all the other regiments were also running short of ammunition. I could not see you (MucerJ. and was informed that Capt. cott, assistant a ijutaut-gencraU had been wounded an l had left the field. I immediately ordered the whole line to fix baronets and charge, which was done in gallant style. Tbe rebels fled before us like sheep, and took refuge behind breastworks and reopened hro upon us. After delivering a few rounds, I orJcred a econd charge. Our nana charged the breastworks on the extreme loft of our line. In some instances a regular hand-to-band fight took place. The enemy soon gave waj, and being in our abatis, they were soon thrown into the utmost confusion. While endeavoring to retreat through tho brush and tree tops, they became mixed ia a perfect jam. our men pour.ng Ui, all the time, the most deadly fire. I can safely say that I have nerer witnessed on any other occasion so perfect a slaughter. Many of them made uo attempt to get away, but threw down their arms and came into our lint s. I think I can safely say that we took from 150 to 200 prisoners and sent them to the rear. No other regiment cf tbe brigade reported tbo capture of prioners.J in short, tho enemy at this time had been driven from ourtrontover the breastworks tfcrouch the abatis into the woods beyond in utter confusion. All this time theie was heavy firing goins cn ea our right and was fast gaining our rear. I soon ascertained that our forces were being driven baek. I immediately ordered our lino to fall back, .which it did in good orJer, and formed again on the original Hue of battle. By this tti&a manv of our men were entirely out of ammunition, and Vut a few rounds remained to any. The enemy were still advancing on our ri?ht and our forces fahicg back. At this critical moment I received orders from you to fall back in good order, which wss done. Before closing this report I desire to pay a just tribute to the brave soldiers and officers of this brigade. To say that the three old regiments the Second Massachusetts. Third Wisconsin and Twenty-seventh Indiana fully sustained the reputation won at Cedar Mountain and Act:etam. is tho very highest compliment that can be paid them. I consider these the three best regiments I have ever seen in action. 1 bad an opportunity of witnessing the manner in which the ne-handred and-seventh New York and Thirteenth New Jersey regiments acquitted themselves during the engagement, and Uks great pleasure in stating that the ofllcers and mea behaved handsomely and tourbt bravely. Troops of their experience could scarcely have done better. How our regiment and brigade behaved on this Sunday morning will be shown by giving a sample account from one who opposed us, in the following extract from the st&rjr of a First

South Carolina Infantry officer, in Caldwell's History of McGowan "s Brigade, and which very singularly coincides wiih Colonel ColgroTe's report as to the position and slaughter of the enemy in front of our regiment. Ho says: We could rot see much for the mcrnins: was fo? fry, a"nd the imoka ot both lines soon became so dense that I could not distinguish tbe colors of tha enemy. The rxj waxed furious. Our advance w checked, the cheering hushed, all on bath sides addressed themteves to loading and firing as rapidly a possible. Tte two right regiments were hotly er gazed. Indeed, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth 5outh Carolina hvl to fire at rifirht oblique. The slaughter of Orr's K:2cs, and the Tirst Jxmth Caro'iir.a, was immense. General McGowan. just behind the colors of the First, hurzahed lustily, seeming to be at the highest enthusiasm. The federals fired with unusual accuracy. It was to b expected, for we stood in full relief upon the crest of tho hill. The few nvn tney had scattered along the ravine, behaved with provoking

composure. They deliberately loaded their pieces be- j hind the trees, stepped out, picked their men, fired. J and returned to the trees to reloal. In the course of time, however, they were discovered, and forced to Ue close. Archer's brigade, a I understand it, wss to move clear to our right, and at some inclination to us, so as to strike the enemy in Hank. The latter must have apprehended something of the sort, for they hupped the fortified hill with singular pertinacity, liut now we were at a standstill. The enemy became emboldened, and advanced upon the unprotected right flank of our brigade. The Kiiles gave war; tbe First followed slowly, and the movement extended gradually to the left of the brigade, but we halted at the line of vorks about seventy or eighty yards from the last position; and the enemy continuing to advance, we resumed battle. General McGowan was wounded upon the works. Tirigadier-fceneral Colston brought in a fresh line, saying the would show us how to clean a iVderai line, but their reckoning was tot accurate. They were foreed bark with us into the works. The firing continued unintermitted, deally. General Ruger, in his report, praisis the conduct of his brigade in this action, lid says: The regiments of my brigade, partiettbrly the Second Massachusetts, Third Wisconsin, and Twentyseventh Indiana Volunteers fought with gieat steadiness and bravery. The One-hundred-and-seventh New York and Thirteenth Mew Jersey fought well, emulating the condui t of the older and more experienced regiments. Colonel Colgrove, Twenty-seventh Indiana; Colonel Quincy, Second Massachusetts: Col. llawley. Third WUconsin; Colonel Diven, One-hundred-and-seventh New York; and Major Grimes, Thirteenth New Jersey, displayed great bravery, and handled their regiments with skill. Colonel Colgrove wss, as on former occasions, conspicuous for courage and determination, and, although severely wounded, remained in command of his regiment until it recrossed the river. To show you how the conduct of the Twentyseventh was appreciated and admired by our comrades of the Third Corps, which bore the brunt of tbis battle with us, I will read the following extract from the report of General Graham, who commanded a brigade in Birney's division, Sickles (Third) corps He cays: I cannot close my report without mentioning the gallant conduct, of Colonel Colgrove, of theTwenty-sev-euth Indiana Volunteers, and bis men, who formed a part of the brigade that we relieved m tho woods during the hottest of the light. Instead of retiring with the rest of his brigade, he remained with us until his ammunition was entirely exhausted, when he retired in good order. His eoolness vn.'.er fire, and the admirable discipline aud steadiness of hii men, cannot receive too much praise. The following table gives the loss of each regiment of Ruger's brigade in tbis battle. The Twenty-seventh Indiana lost 210 in killed and wounded, at Antietam, a few months previous, and, in consequence, was reduced to about 300 on entering the Chancellorsville campaign. Thus it will be seen that our loss in ihis action was approximately 50 per cant, of the number engaged:

It is an incontestable fact, as shown by tbe records of the War Department, that the Twenty seventh Indiana lost more men killed in Jroportion to its number, than any regiment that ndiana sent to the war, and it stands number ten on the list of 2,053 rogiments in the whole Union army. Its long list of killed was but the natural result of the courage with which it faced the musketry of the enemy on so many fields. FASHION :fTES. Round and belted waists divide honors with the directoire and redingote, especially for house wear, and though just now the basque has rather the worst of it, it is by no means sent hopelessly to Coventry. The young woman who bas a white lace 6kirt may buy herself a directoire coat of green or tan, brecaded with gold, and wear the two with tbe serene consciousness that she is at once gorgeous as a parrot and stylish as a Parisian, with some claims to economy as well. It is chiefly by tho diversity in the shape and decoration of tbe corsages of the eeason that the loTe of change finds expression. Picture galleries are visited and libraries ransacked for historical and national dresses to design from in the race for striking and novel effects especially for the bodice. Word comes from Paris that while the bustle is still worn it is no longer visible, being merely two or three short steels at top ot the skirt, with the suspicion at a cushion under heavy woollen gowns while under tbe Greek and Empire evening draperies even tbe steels are so set as to maks but tbe merest ripple. Newly imported dresses of reseda, maple leaf, and geranium-green cloth are made with bodice folded And lapped from side to side in Empire style. There are usually three deep folds, which are sewed in with the under arm seams of the corsage, the last one reaching to the upper portion of the arm-hole. There are velvet sleeves, a velvet sash or girdle, a V-shaped velvet piece on tho neck which fills in the space above tbe eoii Empire folds, and a collar of tbe same which turns down broadly over a second still broader one of the green cloth. Fashionable modistes are just now making great use of tho new Oriental broche and tnatelasse galloons, employing; them as borderings with stylish and elegant effect on gowns of floe wool, velvet, and silk. These bands appear in all tbe superb winter shades, with heavy raised arabesque designs in black, or there are bands in lovely pale tints, with a vine pattern in the centre of green and gold, olivo blue, and silver, etc. Besides these are brilliantly illuminated palm devices in scarlet, green, and gold, surrounded by leaves of pale copper red, bronze, or silver. None but the extremists, who carry very passing fashion to its greatest length, bave eschewed tbe tournure entirely. Two small steels and a light cad cushion accompany all the newest gowns. The bustle still lives; it is not entirely discarded. It appears both here and abroad in graceful modified forms. Its reign is not a thing ef the past, nor will it be for months and seasons to come. It is cot likely to be ever altogether discarded, or at least until some very radical changes take place throughout, ths entire domain of fashion. The very best-dressed women in tho world appear dn toilettes very slightly bouflant at the back. Pretty easy gowns for home wear show the back closely fitted, with the waist cut off just an inch or 83 below the belt. To this is shirred or pleated full breadths of tbe dress fabric The fronts are like a lone balf-flttmg directoire redingote, and are very often of an entirely different material and pattern from the back drapery or even the back of the bodice. These fronts open over a shirt that is shirred three or four inches from the belt down. A shirred waist or a shirred yoke, with a blouse effect below, shows on the front of tbe open redingote. The e'esves match tbe back drapery in kind, and the easy gown as a whole, though made up of two or three fabrics or dress remnants, is a pretty and very bscaming success. The Perfect Woman's Toe. Washington Pcit. H. M.," in a communication on "pedestry," meaning fortune telling by the foot, ssys "if, of a woman's foot, the toe next the great too be longer of the two, as is often the case, tbe possessor of that foot, as a wife, will rule her husband." N. II. M. should have pursued the line of argument further. Every jwrfectly formsd woman's foot, that is. the foot of every perfect woman, has the second toe lonrer than the great toe or any of the others. Tbe ideal woman's form, that upon which tbe rule of perfect proportions is based, is that of Venus de Medici, and in that wonderful marble figure the second toe is at least an eighth cf an inch locger than any other of its lovely companions. Se with all great figures done by great sculptors. Any other proportion is imperfect. From which we logically deduct this syllogism: The woman with tbe second toe longer than the great toe controls her husband; only the perfect woman has the second toe longer than the great toe; therefore only the perfect woman controls ber husband.

HEADING FOR TUE SABBATH.

The Lord's Hand. Loose not Thy hold, O hund of God! Or utter! v we faint and fall. The war ;s ronga. the way is blind, And buff ted v.-ith stormy wind; Thick d&rkness veils above, to slow. From whence we come, to what we go; Feebly we grope o'er rock and sand, liut stul go on, oornding all. Lord, to Thy ha-d! In that strong hol l salvation is; Its touch is comfort ia distress. Cure for all sickness, balm for ill. And energy for heart and will, curtly held, unfaltering, The soul can walk at ease and sing, And fearless tread each unknown strand. Leaving each large thing, and each less, Lord, ia Tby hand' O mighty Friend, forever near! O heavenly Help! so soon forgot. So oft rebelled against and grieved, Unthanked, distrusted, disbelieved; Forgive us all, and hold us fast Till dawning lights the dark at last, Andjooltirg back we understand How we were keot, and knew it not.

Hob. xi, 17-iU Faith and Victory Gideon was ote of the noblest of all the judge) of Israsl. Two hundred years had elapsed since the time of Joshua, forty-five of which had been years of suffering and oppression to the people of Israel because of their sins. Deborah and Barak had delivered the nation from the lowlander Canaanitee forty years previous, and now the Midianites and Amalekites are allowed by the Lord to come over the Jordan and sweep through the rich valleys' of Palestine year after year, like the locusts, "as grasshoppers formultitude (ei, 5). They captured again and again tbe flocks and corn-fields and the threshed grain of this paradise of a country. The Israelites fie'd Into the caves and mountains, and in this way for ceen years (Judees vi, 1) "the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian." At last the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites" (vi, 7). Then follows a fine illustration of the way in which "the Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them" (Judges ii, 16). The Lord had a man in training, and Gideon, like the great Cincinnatns and Cromwell, and Washington, was called from his farm to go forth as the leader and deliverer of tbe nation. He first showed his courage and his piety in his own homo, where he destroyed tbe heathen altars and groves of Baal, where his father's household worshipped (ri, 24 27). From that event he was called Jerubbaal, or "contender against Iiaah" Ewald says it means "contender for God." "The spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon,'' and at the blast of his trumpet he gathered first the Abi-ezrites, his own family retainers, and then by messengers he collected the fighting men of the adjoining tribes 31, 35). The lesson records the beginning of a series of three great battles between Israel, rmder the lead of Gideon, and the hosts of the Midianites. Lest God's people should take to themselves the credit of the promised victory (2), the Lord proposed a plan by which their number should be reduced from 32,000 down to 300. To this small number he gave a great victory, and Gideon became one of the most famous of the nation's deliverers. TEACHINGS OP THE LESSON. One great advantage in warfare is to always be V the enemy's heels. Nearness to the foe should ever be sought. It affords chances for reoonnoitering, planning and executing that otherwise would be lost It is so with the filth and wretchedness that surrounds us. Nearness, contact, is an advantage to start with. Ton to one it wili recoil at first contact. Follow up the encounter. If one eipects to reform evil, never leave it out of earshot or eyesight. What Is more inspiring than the enthusiasm of the minority? It is a creative force. It can almost make soul and muscle. It always energizes the slacking courage. No . one need be depressed if he is alone in the right against a great majorityHe is to be envied, congratulated, not condoled with. Numbers do not eount, fortunately enough, in the daily fight against sin and all tbe forms of wickedness. One bold soul can awe a mob. One pure woman can hold a hundred vicious men in check. One Christ can inspire a world. It is the power of the purity of heart, of perfect trust, of indomitable will, that is worth in one man the united force of a thousand wicked hearts. The victory ia always the general's, though the soldiers participate and do mighty service in tbe fight. It is always the central will and intelligence that must get the credit So to God is due every victory we may be instrumental in winning. lie is the sole inspiration. Wears to fight under his leadership and net attribute too mnch to our own exertions. "There returned twenty-two thousand." Scared away from Christ. Not every ono that shouts. "Lerd, Lord," is willing to back up the cry with pike and pistol. The dealer in human courage well knows that in the majority of cases courage is of the lip, and not of the heart. There is no doubt that an earnest consecration can convert cowardice into the hardiest daring. Many may be willing to serve through pride. God's service demands tbe pure and not the alloyed heart. The constitutional fear which evil has of good is in itself the Christian ally. Unfitness for special work doss not always imply lack of grace and love. Gideon's faith was simply tremendous. No wonder it was contagious. These are the historic three hundred who won tbe tight. Remember the historio twelve. Three hundred live, believing, active church members can make the largest city quake to its very foundations. But tbey must work together under the one leader Christ. Personal and News Notes. The visions of the future, thoroughly believed, are the realities o! the present Phillips Brooks. The Chinese missionaries request that Sunday, Dec. 2, be observed in all Baptist churches as a day of special prayer for Chios. Rev. C II. Sourgeon, who has b8n ill for some time, left London on Nov. 19 for the south, of France, where he usually spends part of the winter. Mexico is a Christian cocntry, yet Bishop Hurst, of tbe Methodist Episcopal Church, says that in Mexico 8.000,000 have never seen a copy of the Holy Scriptures. In 1830 the Catholic population in the United States was 50,000; it is now about 10,000,000, or two hundred times the number it was fifty-eight years ago. Catholic Rei iew. Tbe Chinese government threatena to drive all missionaries out of Fekin and Canton iu retaliation for the bill which has been adopted excluding the Chinese from ths United States. ' Rev. Eric Jausen reports ISO baptized during the year in Finland. The mission work encounters great opposition from the priests of the State Church, but the progress among the people is encouraging. A plain man, says the National Baptist, in a prayer-meetiog of a church a few miles from Philadelphia, said: "Brethren, we all want the Lord's way to prevail; but we all want to be on the committee of ways and means." Canon Lester, at Litchfield, England, is training a band of "evangelist brothers" to preach in Af rice. Tbey are to be uniformed that is, wsar eoarte. brown frocks, with cord around their waist, and carry Bibles in their hands. New Guinea is one of the most interesting points in tho world's missionary work at present. A few years ago the whole people were the worst lot of cannibals known. Now many of them are receiving tbe gospel, and a change is rapidly coming over tbe island. Tbe death is announced at Luluaburg. Central Africa, of Rev. V. It Summers, M.D., who was the pisneer of Bishop Taylor's work iu Africa, having landed at Leanda in February, 1SS13, about a month before the Bishop and the first party of forty or so arrived there. At Springfield, Mass., recently, the Rev. and Mrs. Aldin Grout celebrated their golden wedding. The gold com presented to them aggregated about $200. The Grouta went out as missionaries to South Afriea in 1834. and helped translate the Bible into Zulu. One of their daughters is now a missionary in Afriea. Chief among the things connected with the wie training of children is regular attenlanro at church. It is a matter of familiar memory to every one who has reached middle life that thirty and forty years ago families always went to church together. The pew filled up with the entire household is a spectacle we rarely see today. Ths Living Church, Canon Taylor, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, lately produced an estimate before the London Church Congress that it would take over 300,000 years, at the present rate of progress, to convert the world, even if the popu'at:oo remained stationary and the converts steadiest It will ba a happy day 3CO.O00 years hence

On one of the shelves Cf Mr. Spurgean's library is that precious copy of one of Mr. Spar peon's sermons which was found ia Dr. Livingitone'i bor in Africa, after the great missionary explorer's death. It was broscnt to his daughter, who, thinking ilr. Spurgeon the most suitallo poisefior, sent it to hin.

There are said to be 900 non-Episcopal ministers in Ireland, including Congregationalism, Presbyterians, Baptists. Methediste. An address protesting against the granting home rule to Ireland, sigced by S64 of thtso ministers, was recently presented to Lord Salisbury and Lord Hartington by a deputation beaded by the moderator of the Irish Presbyterisn Assembly. It is also declared that of the minority declining to sign the address only eight favor borne rule. The British' Roman Cathclio Directory for 1SS3 states that there are now in England and Wales 2,313 priests, as aeaicst 1,728 in 1SS5, serving 1.304 churches, chapels and missionary stations. In Scotland there are five bishops and 334 priests, rviog 327chpe!s, churches nnd stations.

A revival of Hindooism is taking place in Madras Presidsncy. Inaia. In the past the Hindoos have looked on the efforts of the missionaries with contempt or indifference. Now they are becoming alarmed at the progress of Christianity, and are opposing it by erery means in their power.
