Some believed that be- cause the fort had it had surren- @ered. and there was rest to learn the trath. No one could set off in a boat and approach the fort on account of the confederate fire. whieh did not slacken in the least as the target was lost sight of in the gloom of night. When a shell struck the walls and exploded a ght fiash dispelled the darkness for an in- stant, and twice before midnight the bombs and hot shot renewed the conflagration inside. From the first gun in the morning until 7 o'clock in theevening. Fort Sumter had been struck over 1,200 times. Every barbette gun wasdismount- ed, almost every foot of the wall« scarred and ded, and there were several spots where he walls were dug out to a distance of 10 teet. At least once eve! ‘ve minates daring the day @ bom» fell into the inclosure, and it seemed a miracle that half the garrison had not been wiped out. When day broke again 20.000 pairs of eyes Were strained to catch sight of the fort. The flag was rippling in the morning breeze. Twen- ty-four hours of the most terrifle pounding had failed to dring down the stars and stripes or Weaken the brave hearts of the defe ers, The Men went to breakfast as bei re again is Morris | 1 mounted, the | told off into Lig wily ell ae oe in — lory the guns n ing ice. is Before nosn hot shot rekindled the fires, and at noon the barracks were burning flercely. From this hour the guns were fired only at long inter- vals, every man in the fort being wanted else- where. Much of the powder was thrown out of the embrasures into the sea, followed by all the loaded shells which could be got at, but the ex- plosions in the shell-room were plainly heard in Charleston. The flames from the burning bar- racks could be seen from Moultrie and other tlevated points, and the confederate fire was redoubled to push the garrison to desperation. Utterly unmindful of the fight without, the garrison battled against the dangers within. At one time during the afternoon the shell-room | Was on fire, the barracks burning, the main gate | ablaze, and every wooden building inside the vt walls ready togo. Every four or five min- | utes a great bomb dropped from the sky and exploded with a terrific violence, and {t seemed wonderful that the garrison did not give up in despair. The remainder of the powder was wet down or thrown out, and then the men could only stand by and let the flames havetull sweep. “Have they surrendered?” was the query in the confederate forts and batteries as the clouds hid the flag, but now and then the query was answered as the wind rolled the stifling curtains aside and the old flag was seen streaming out to the breeze. | Anderson wonld have held Fort Sumter another night at least pad it rested with him to | raise the white fag. But the flag came from the confederates, borne by Wigiall. That the Senator was acting solely on his own account, and that he had not even conferred witb Beaure- | card, was shown by the fact that he rowed to | the fort under the fire of his friends, and that | several balls fell around him as he waited at an embrasure for admittanc propose a surrender, and A. to come to terms. ajor in full uniform, clanking sword stern dignity.

It is not disputed that Anderson made a brave e—for the opening of the Two years he would have been cashiered for surren- | dering under like circumstances. In after days, | when that island was no more than a brick pile, men defended it against such bombardments as the world had never seen—defended it attacks by small boats—held it in spite of not | twenty-four hours’ cannonade, but long weeks | of bombardment. Anderson knew that the storm was coming, and he had ample time to purchase provisions | fora slexe of. a week at least. He had time to He had come to derson was ready Federai history finds the and ations. Some commanders would haye assumed the authority to act, even though the Washing- ton government was handling the question with gloves. As to provisions, Headley says the men ate their last cracker befure the surrender. Tradi- tionhas it thus, and the truth will be an un- pleasant revel yn. J.ater on in the war 100 men would have lived for two weeks on the provisions left after the surrender, and no man would have lived on half rations. While the fire was hot and long continued not a man was killed by it. While the fort was ‘ adly knocked about it did not receive one-half the damage inflicted by a federal fleet in six hours one day in 1863. While Anderson received the fire of old-fashioned ordnance, the fort under a con- federate commander received such a pounding | from new and enormous projectiles that the bursting of a shell against the walls made the whoie island tremble. Major Anderson’s position was an embarrass- ne in every sense, and his surrender was bly considered the only alternative. Had he maintained the fight he could not have been bombarded out in a fortnight, but at the same time he could. have inflicted no injury on the nfederates, and there was not a vessel in the federal navy at that time which could have run the gauntlet and brought him succor. PINCHING THE PINK TOES, How Some Mothers Torture their Ba- bies with Very Small Shoes. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A shoe dealer said to a reporter last evening that the majority of mothers exhibited more vanity than judgment in the selection of shoes for their young children. “One will bring her baby in here,” he continued, ‘and ask me to tryapair of shoes on it that will look ‘real sweet.’ I know what that means, but I'm al- Ways sorry for the baby, who is usually in its first short dress and a: tish as any old maid about haying its feet meddled with. I don't say that I'm going to puta shoe on it a size larger than the foot seems to be, but I do; at least I get it on as well as any one could fit a foot operated by a perpetual motion power. Then I trast to the mother’s sense for results. If it’s her first baby she will be indignant and say that she doesn’t want the ‘treasure’ to ‘look sloppy in its shoes.’ They must fit exactly or she won't take them. I insist that the child's weight will push the foot out at least a fourth of an inch and thatthe shoe is just right. Ir she objects again I give up und find what she wants. ‘The foot is squeezed into a tight shoe and the by protests by squalling. She says the seraph | Is teething or colic! hasn’t had its usual nap, and she shakes it up vigorously, while de- claring the shoes are just lovely’ and that its papa will be delighted. “The chances are that when she wants another pair she will leave the baby at home and bring down its shoe literaily burst out at the toe. She wants several pairs to take home for trial. and I noticed that the only ones I considered unsuita- ble are the very pair she prefers. Children would | have better looking feet if they had wiser | mothers, and the fault lies In the first shoes worn. One pair too short will ruin the feet, no matter how loose subsequent ones may be.” “Then some women learn your philosophy?” “Yes, but after the little people have laid a foundation forcorns and bunions. [know many | q | children between the ages of. two and three | years who have both these afflictions because their mothers wanted them to look cute, as they term this phase of toot squeezing.” Is there no change in the shape of children’s one. There can't well be, because the sole mast be sufficiently broad to stand the wear and tear. Square toes are preferred to round be- cause they allow freer development of the toes. The spring heel, which was introduced nearly two years ago, is worn as early as two years of age,and has recently become fashionable for girls in their teens. It is nothing but a slip ot leather Inserted between the sole and that part of the shoe pressed by the wearer's heel. It Is seldom that a_ smaller than No. 8is made with a regular heel, and that is on the common sense plan, low and broad. These and the | larger sizes have a higher top than has been | usual for several years.” “Tell me something about baby shoes. How high are they numbered?” Number 4 is the first shoe out of babyhood. No. 0 has a soft sole of white kid and paste- board, and is the successor of the little knit wool boots that are sold for babies in long dresses. Nos. 1,2 and 3, have what is called the turned sole, sewed together on tne wrong side and turned out. There are from four to five buttons on the side, and a black tassel is now fastetied at the top in front. The latest is to have a vamp of French kid with calf uppers; or what is still better, a half-boxed round toe tipped with patent leather.” NO LONGER A JA BIRD. A Rich Prisoner Who Leaves the Penie tentiary for a Fine Hotel. Prisoner Jack Canter left the Eastern Peni- tentiary, Philadelphia, last week. He has been a jail bird for nearly half of his —a life of sixty odd years. Canter, haying brashed his thin gray hair and his mustache, called for his shoes and broadcloth suit. The insatiate moth, however, had riddled the overgaiters, and feasted royally on the garments. He had to buya new outfit, which he was well able to do, as he hada credit of several thousand dollars with the warden. When the new clothes and carriage came he shook hands with the gatekeepers, stepped into the carriage and drove away, no longer Jack Canter, nor George Ripley, one or the most expert forgers, raiser of checks, and counterfeiters known in America or Europe. When he dismounted at a prominent hotel he did not register as Canter or Ripley, but under the name of a well known South Carolina family, which Is his by birthright. Some say he has $40,000, and some say more, with which he is to sustain his new station as a private gentle- man. He is well educated, writes and speaks several uses, and has traveled a great deal and mingled in good soclety. —+o > _ Advertising for a Wife. somewhat Eterally tranalated from the French. ~ “I seek a wife for the life,” said the heading ef a matrimonial advertisement.

POPULARITY OF BANJO PLAYING—THE HARP, ZITHER, GUITAR, CORNET, FLUTE, HARMONICA AND ACCORDEON—A VARIETY OF TASTES. From the New York Times. A pumpkin “hath charms to sootne the Savage breast” —not in the shape of pie, but, if muste will accomplish that end, by the strains that it will produce. The negroes on the southern plantations used, it is related, to cut in twain a pumpkin and dry the parts until they were hard and sonorous. Then they would atfix an arm to one hemisphere of the pumpkin, draw strings across it, tune them to a proper key, and pick them to the measures of their melodies. That was long ago, but not so long that the tradition of the rude instrument has been lost. The banjo of to-day takes the part OF VALUABLE REAL.

In the combination ticket the variety indi- cated by the various colors of the local ticket is manifested by numberless forms and coupon attachments. These united form one through ticket to distant points, involving several routes and companies in their contracts. The prep- aration of these tickets is quite a scientific work, and is the joint production of the general passenger agent and the manager of the ticket establishment.

ARRANGING COMBINATIONS, The combinations are determined by a semi- annual convention of general passenger agents, the short line making the rate. At these con- ventions is decided what part every line and company interested in through tickets shall have. itis thus that the ticketmaker’s busi- ness is frequently tremendously augmented. The production of a complete set of combina- tlon tickets for one line alone involves the out- lay ot thousands ot dollars, the printing of thousands of varying coupons, and the making robe rather than a mere cumberer of te ground or a bureau drawer. An “awfully swell” example of simplicity was set the other day in England. The second wife of one of the richest men in the peerage, the new Duchess of Westminster, nee Hon. Kathe- rine Caroline Cavendish, daughter of the late Lord Chesham, was married in a white foulard gown costing seventy-five cents a yard. White foulard, nun’s veiling, vigone, or satteen are all very pretty fabrics in fashionable use for rela- tively inexpensive wedding toilets, and with drapings of creamy lace and garniture of flow- ers, a youthfut, pretty bride is quite as lovely as in opaque satin. An instance of what can be ‘pt for drawing-room entertainments the guitar does not now figure prominently, and the players are largely ladies. Since stringed instruments became so popular the guitar has regained much of the popularity that it had lost. Life in many a neighborhood has been made miserable by persons who blew their lungs out and filled the air with discord under the sad de- lusion that they were Leyys and Arbuckles in embryo.

No reed instrument is Rares by ama- teurs except the clarionet, and this very rarely. ‘The predominating instrument is, by all odds, the mouth harmonica. It half seems as if everybody who has breath enough to blow one were the possessor of an instrument. Variety actors employ mouth harmonicas tn their per- formances, and to this fact may be credited very tuaely the fection to which they have been brought. They are nowtuned by the chromatic scale in order that a melody may be played cor- rectly on them. In price they range from five cents to $5. It is pre-eminently a small boy's instrument, and the torture that is suffered from it may be mainly attributed to him. The Jew’s-harp does not pass unnoticed.
