PICKETT’S CHARGE. In the January number of the Century are articles ou the third day's fizht at Gettysburg, by General H. J. Hunt and E. P. Alexander. From the | 3 ac- | count of Pickett’s charge we quote as | follows: “At exactly one o'clock by |my watch the two signal-cuns were heard in quick succession. In another minute every gun was at work.

The severity of the fire may be illustrated by the casualties in my own battalion under Major Huger. * * “Before the cannonade opened I had made up my mind to give Pickett the order to advance within fifteen or twenty: enue after it began.

Mrs. Cleve- land had already quite a large library, but she will have thé shelves enlarged now. ‘The most costly and beautiful book she has received comes from her Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleve- land. It is an illustrated copy of Cole- ridge’s ‘Ancient Mariner.’ Ll couldn’t undertake to describe it to you. only know it was the most beautifully bound and illustrated book I ever saw. ‘There etty verses on the blank nal ones by Miss Cleve- ind seems to prize iy present she has re- ceived.

Mrs. Clev that book above » caused considerabie white house. It is must send her some Christmas gift. “Mrs. Cleveland also received some pretty sets of books from New York and Boston publishing-houses, with the com- pliments of the publishers, but she thought they meant it us an advertise- ment of themselves, so she does not care much for the books. «There were some unpleasant Christ- mas gifts, too. Some women’s temper- ance association took advantage of the occasion to send her copies of dry tem- perance sermons, with pious requests that she should read them and put their prineiples into practice at the white house. In fact, they wrote to her as if she were an apostle of liquor and they the missionaries who were trying to convert her. She was much annoyed, and packed off some of the books to the senders again. “Mrs. Cleveland has also received many gifts in the way of jewelry. Sev- eral cabinet ladies gave her valuable gifts. The prettiest, 1 think, was a dia- mond brooch from Mrs. Manning. is decidedly the prettiest in Washington to-day. When Mrs. Clevelaud goes to the opera she is sure to have the finest opera-glasses in the house, too, for the air she received from a lady admirer in New York city are said to be the finest that ever came from Paris. - They are of gold and ivory. “As to gloves and articles of that kind she has received enough to last a while. Just what the president gave her I don’t know, but I have heard that it was a necklace of some kind. If the general admiration of Mrs. Cleveland is to be measured by the number of Christ- mas gifts she has received, then she is certainly the most admired woman in America. —— OO The Missionary Suffered. A mother gave her little boy two bright, new pennies and asked him what he was going to do with them. After a moment's thought, the child replied: “I am going to give one to the missionaries and with the other I am going to buy a stick of candy.” After a while he returned from his play and told his mother that he had lost one of the pennies. “Which did yon lose?” she asked. “J lost the missionary pen- ny,” he promptly replied.

You would be surprised at ihe big pile of dressing- cases she has received. ‘They are of all kinds, from the cheap variety-siore ones up to the plush, silver, and ivory kind. When Mrs. Cleveland received the tirst one she was pleased and placed it on her bureau. Yen minutes later another was broughtin. ‘This also she laid on the bureau. But when during the rest of the day more than a dozen others came, she began to think that her friends judged her to be in sad need of hair-combing, and laughingly remarked to me: ‘1 have enough combs and brushes now to last the rest of my nat- ural life.’ There was one particularly lovely dressing-case. It was from three of her old classmates, and is made of the richest biue plush I have ever seen; bas gold clasps and ivory contents. I am sure nothing like it has ever been seen in Washington. Just the opposite of this was a guudily-colored pasteboard dressing- case, which cost about 50 cents. Mrs. Cleveland was especially pleased with it, however, because it came from a littie girl im Council Bluffs, lowa, and was accompanied by one of the sweetest little girl notes you ever read. Moreover, tue little girl was so deliciously frank as to say that she expected a Christmas gift in return.
