How Lee Left Meade at Chester Gap. Written for Tue Fvesixe San, by one of the 15th Virginia Infantry, Your correspondent in his article of the 230 ult., “Defending Lee’s Flank, &c.,” makes many biunders and unkind innuendoes. His statement as to the major (Simpson) I am certain will not be supported by many of the brigade, particu- larly those of the 7th regiment. He was a gallant gentleman and a brave and capable of- ficer, and as his home was in Front Royal, I suppose he obtained proper permission to be absent. He was afterward mortaliy wounded at Drury’s Biuff fight and died heroically. I saw him during the amputation (his armat theshoul- der joint), which resuited in his death, and I know whereof I speak, and it appears to me that such a death as his should obliterate all his military shortcomings, especiaily in the memory 6f a more fortunate comrade in arms.

CLerMost, Bive Ripce Stumsit, FRANKLIN Co., Pa., August 2. Among the blessings of the neighbor cities— Baltimore and Washington—not the least Is that contiguity of sea-shore and mountain summit, to which such easy access may be had in the torrid times of our almost tropical mid- summer. From most of these pleasant resorts you have had already good news; but from this region reports rarely are intruded on the pub- lic. To say that this is the most beautiful loca- tion in the Blue Ridge is saying nothing that can be contradicted; to note that the house is now full is only remarking what is its usual con- dition at this season of the year; to tell the public that here is found as choize a company as. can be met in any resort in our wide country is ly telling what every visitor will confirm, but say that the rural felicities, the dear old- fasnioned simplicities, the sweet contact that nd here with nature and country life, sur- the Joys of those palatial hotels that boast tric lights and Axminster carpets, may be denied. That is a matter of taste. ra little while inthe yea the city iy Our children see how farmers live and how our fathers lived years agone, and touching mother earth so génuinely they becom rnethened in ail that is good.

All that sort of thing is out of keeping with the style of this simple mountain home; but the roll of — th will challenge compar- ison in respectability, intelligence, birth and breeding with that’ot the proudest establish- ment in our broad land. Here, too, we live with an economy that makes it possible for us to linger the livelong summer through, so that We return to our homes really retreshed in body and easy in mind, no extravagancies to regret, ho follies to forget, rested, helped, willing in the future to live simple, sincerer lives than often is possible in our crowded cities. In short, dear Star. here we are in the presence of the most exquisite scenery; the air is exceptionally salubrious, (temperature rarely above 80); the Water is pure and abundant; the people that keep the house are kind and accommodating; the guests about one hundred grown persons, with only a rejuvenating proportion of children, and if we are not happy it is our own fault. ‘This house is situated about a mile and a half from Blue Ridge summit, 69 miles from Balti- more. Washington people reach it via Balti- more and Western Maryland raliroad or by the Metropolitan Branch, Baltimore and Ohio rail- roed to Hagerstown, thence 17 miles down the Western Maryland railroad to Blue Ridge summit.

AWAY DOWN IN MAINE, Fashions at an Eastern Watering Place—A Yachting Party and Their Costumes — Curious Contrasts — A Glimpse of Fashions at Newport. From Our Own Correspondent, PoLaxp Sprinos, Me., August 3. Poland Springs is not exactly a fashionable watering place, although it is visited by some fashionable people, particularly Bostonians, but it has wide, beautiful views, magnificent moun- tain air, without being exactly inthe mountains, and water that is a specific for many modern ills, so the men who discovered it years ago and experienced iés Kindly influence returned with their families and have gradually transformed what was once a Maine farm and generous homestead to a summer “cave,” with a hotel, that can be seen from lake or road for miles around and is the architectural feature of the landscape. eling presents no difficulties nowadays. East or west the Pullman palace car and the ready transfer enable women to go any distance with as much ease and as little fatigue as would be felt instaying at home. In. fact the protec- tion from dust and the incidents of weather may be even more complete. This modern re- sult of science and skill has changed the aspect, of the tourist class and gotten rid largely of the vast impedimenta of travel: wraps, dust- cloaks, yeils, ulsters, special dirt-concealing and wear-resisting costumes, and the like. What is a suitable dress for the street is a suita- ble one for the cars, and, instead of the plain brown linen ulsters and dusters, which were rily ‘hideous, there are ulsters that are tically walking suits, and wraps that are becoming and graceful at the same time that they are protective. ,The new conditions like all others, have their good and bad side; there is more variety to be seen in traveling dress, but also more incongruity and less of a certain’ fit- ness, for there are persons who are quite desti- tute of any sense of what is suitable, and are only properly provided when custom or the au- thority in Geér world demands certain conditions of them. It is quite curious to see theextreme oppo- siteness of ideas in reyard to what is necessary for a trip of several hundred miles to a spot in southern Maine less than a thousand feet above tide-water. One stout, well-conditioned lady reclines in her velyet-covered chair in a close, admirably fitting dress of dark cashmere with- out visible wrap or shawl, and leaves the train without luggaze, save book and smail satchel. A party of four, on the contrary—two gentie- men and two ladles—the latter stout and tall and well conditioned, also, are burdened with enough shawls, ulsters, jackets, knitted scarfs, and contrivances for individual comfort, to meet all the emergencies of a voyage across the At- lantic, and apparently do not need any of them, for though they are scattered about, and cost an infinity of: trouble in collecting again, they are never put to use. One dainty lady wears a silk cloak made like a wrapper, with a square yoke and full skirt, the back laid in triple box plait and finished with a bow of ribbon, the front gathered, but the whole hanging loose from the yoke without belt or form except so much as canbe obtained trom the Atted sides. THE “HOLOKU.” These square-cut gowns area feature of the Season, and their varied use indicates the loose and inexact ideas which prevail in Tegard to what* is fitting and proper in dress for different times and occasions. I have called the square yoked dress the “holoku,” because it is made like the summer house and verandah dress of the Sandwich Island women who give this name to it. But even there it isa house costume. and not in- tended for or worn upon the street. Here it was tirst introduced asa morning gown, scarcely admissible beyond the precincts of the dressing- room, but by acurious twist or perversion of ideas it got started, and filtering through many different craniums comes out a cloak, a street dress, an evening toilet, er a traveling cos- tume, as the case may be. One lady at a well Known summer resort haa had every dress in her summer wardrobe made in this manner, and all according to the original pattern—that is, with square yoke and loose flowing skirt. Among them is'a cream colored nun’s veiling with alternate lace and satin stripes, apink gingham, ared surah, an electric blue chud cloth, and a black silk. which last has a decidedly clerical effect. Th is something original and peculiar about the adoption of this unitorin style, and the care in selection of ma- terials, and a certain appropriateness to the wearer almost Justifies its assumption for all purposes; but it does not excuse the appear- ance upon public streets and in public convey- veyances of low-cut pink and blue dresses with white tucked and needle worked yokes, the skirt sometimes loose, sometimes belted down or tucked up, the watteau eifect emphasized by floating ribbons. A YACHTING PARTY ASHORE. T began by saying that Poland was not a fash- ionable watering-place. The society here Iscom- posed largely of business people—solid men from New York, Boston, Portland, and other cities, and their familes; the men doing penance by drinking large quantities of water for the good dinnems they have eaten, the women try- ing to recover from the fatigue and nervous anxiety of nothing to do. ‘The place is well adapted tor the cure of these opposite ailments. It is stimutating and assimilative; but eccen- tricity or extravagance of any kind is rare among the conventional class, and the dude and dudeen are unknown. Outbreaks are lim- ited to such mild torms of insanity as red hosi- ery and red umbrelias, red Japanese hats and mixtures of Kate Greenaway. Charles I., and the Princess-in-the-Tower in the dress of child- ren. The girls nowagays, anywhere and every- where, cannot help but be pretty, in thelr blue or wine-colored jersey, their kilts and their nun’s vellings, their large hats and graceful outlines undisfigured by any unnatural protuberance, which the popular jersey protects them from; but the mammas are not: usually happy or pic- turesque looking. They are overweihted by conscience, which makes them wear their old clothes; by dread of servants or no servants; by sympathy for woes that they cannot. ameliorate or that will not be ameliorated, and by respon- sibilities which lay around loose in their own or other people's families, and which the proper owners do not burden themselves with. nt upon such an assemblage of a yachting party gotten up in the highest style of art, and which, stranded off the coast by an accident, determined to take the stage coach as one horn out of thelr dilemma and spend their enforced absence from the craft in drinking Poland water. But it must be said that the gentlemen quite outshone the ladies in striking effects and originality, or perhaps it 1s nen in general took 80 much alike that ture from custom is more marked in them than in women. These latter were three in number—a mother and daughter and niece. The mother was the type so often seen in the New York Academy ot Music on opera nights— large, coarse, atfd profusely fringed and jetted, The young ladies were slender and one wore & braided suit, which only Redfern could turn out; the other a botJe green kilt, elastic ‘ersey, and red sword sash and cap. The sash was the sty- Ush doubled one of knitted silk, with knotted fringed ends, and the cap knitted also, with tas- seled top turned over like an old-tashioned night cap. The gentlemen wore kuickerbock- ers—one dark blue, the other iron gray; one leggings and the other top-boots; one a dark blue Jersey, with red trimmings and red fez cap, the other @ pleated pjamas of dark gray wool, embroidered with blue upon the front and col- lar, and a blue embroidered leather belt, from which was suspended a pouch containin; (it was said) a pocket mirror, puffand powder box. The young men were of the most absolutely do- nothing, “den't-you-know” stamp, and there was uot a little turning up of noses among the young doctors and lawyers who had heretofore carried off the honors, when the prettiest girls followed with admiring glances the whole younger portion of the party as it started off in white flannel and ecra leather (principally) for @ row on that one of the lakes known as the Five Sisters which js called Lake Sorosis. A CURIOUS CONTRAST in the fashions of dress is afforded at Poland Springs by a Sunday morning visit to the Shaker society, a few miles distant. The summer vis itors gather from the entire’ surrounding neigh- borhood and present the usual medley of red straw hats and yellow trimmings, blue basques and white skirts, checker suits trimmed with solid colors, and solid colors trimmed with strips. There were bright red parasols and others of flowered sateen, agd ribbons of many colors fluttering from bunched-up skirt and stringent bodice. The visitors outnumbered the members of the Shaker society, and were massed together in the seats fronting the entrance; the men on the left, the women on the right—the Shakers following the same order in the space beyond. The majority of the Shaker women were aged and their hands and faces ‘were seamed with hard work; but the unitorm dress they wore was so absolutely clean and simple, so free from all incongruity, that it imparted an appearance of absolute refinement, which was in strong contrast to the gurish mixture of color on the worldly side of the house. A decided change, however, has taken placo in the Shaker dress within the past twenty years. Skirts were formerly quite plain; now they are laid in length- wise folds an Inch in width—in other words they are kilted, and in the soft greys and stone colors, with the white silk, or muslin neckerchief coy- ered over bodice, and the clear cap shading, not concealing, the whitening locks ot hair, the effect was that of @ gentleness and serenity suited to the age of a majority of the wearers. Upon the children, who are waifs picked up or sent from homes where they are not welcome, the sad-colored, mi dress seems a perpetual and unnecessary ehtary upon thelr sad lives; and the simple form being preserved might, one would: think, be varied by livelier pinks, blues, lacs. ,The dittle girls wear white capes instead of handkerchiefs, exactly like those worn by country girls in England a century or leas ago. SIMPLICITY AND HARMONY in the details of dress are never seen to more better advantage than at an average summer resort where the thrifty desire to wear out old clothes tends to the accumulation of patchy contrivances to heighten effects or cover up short comings. That nothing is more costly than simplicity is well understood by those who know anything of the art of dressing, and the reason is because each separate article must be adequate, must bear inspection, must be in good condition, must hold exact and harmo- nious relations to every other article, and must be adapted not only to its purpose, but to the wearer. To succeed in all this is the work of an artist, and requires the purse of a twenty- millionaire. It is astonishing, however, con- sidering the perpetual “changes” in tashion, how little real alteration there is in essentials. Twenty years ago a blendingof tones and har- mony of color in cashmeres marked distinction and possession of a cultivated taste just as they do to-day, Theadvance which has been made is a difference ofdegree only, the principal now tak- ing in every detail—hosiery, parasol and fan inclu- ded,as wellas the dress and bonnet. We alsoadmit a wider range of color; have conquered even the prejudice against the “scarlet” woman, which was undoubtedly one of the reasons why red was the last of the primaries to be ad- mitted to the fold—and now we can wear red, green, yellow, provided the shade ig well chosen and the tones well blended. An eastern resort has this advantage over Newport and Saratoga: that the general tem- perature is cooler, more bracing. better adapted for the wearing of handsome clothes. A Worth dress or Pingat mantle fs an intolerable burden, with the thermometer in the nineties. All that science and art can teach In relation to gingham and linen lawn is what not todo. The masters do not waste themselves on these puerilities. They want rich materials and their contrasts to produce their effects, and the body that displays them must feel equal to the task. This it does in an atmosphere so sustaining that clothes or no clothes are equal possibilities so far as in- dividual comfort is concerned, and where the lisse ruffling in a dinner dress of wine-colored satin keeps as fresh as the needle-work bands upon a white morning dress. A DAY AT NEWPoRT. A fiying trip affords ilttle opportunity in which to gain an adequate impression of the charm of the city by the sea—the loveliest hab- ited spot In America. Its most obvious faults are Its insular proclivities; its city aira carried into the country; its want of people; its absence of sympathetic human lite, Doubtless the sum- mer residents who have imparted its character would say, but its insulation suits us; we do not care to have it, or make it generally attrac- tive; we do not want an outdoor life that which attracts the crowd to Saratoga, or Long Branch. There is reason of course in this; but. somehow they do not seem to enjoy their’ exclusiveness. The Casino, from which ‘the public is shut out by fifty cents admission, Is deserted, and Land- ers fine orchestra playsto circular rows ofempty chairs painted alternate red and stone-color. The building is occasionally used for dinners and evening entertainments, but the beautiful grounds are practically private and echo only the shallow laugh, and languid movements of young dudes in “tennis” suits infinitely more uncon- ventional than thedress of Oscar Wilde, and only rarely so decent, or becoming, for they play their games with ladles for spectators, in loose shirts and trousers only; the latter subjected to a continual “hitching up” to keep them in place. Certainly the “ladies” who constitute Newport society should see to jt that male costume em- ployed for sports in which their daughters are permitted to participate, either as partners, or lookers on, should be decent; and if its objec- tionable character igthe reason why women absent themselves so largely from the Casino, then the managers, or trustees should take the matter in hand. : CASINO TOILETS. Of the few ladies present one wore a costume of white albatross cloth, with embroidered ruf- fles and redingote and large hat, trimined with white ostrich feathers. Another, a skirt of raspberry and satteen, with overdress, highly flowered upon a cream-colored ground, the edge cut in vandyke, lined with, red, and filled in with lace. Red straw hat trimmed with shaded flowers. A lady, accompanied by her maid, wore a dress of: gold-colored foulard, fleured and made up with lace over a rufiied lace skirt. The hat of gathered lace was trimmed with yellow jon- quils. The maid wore a suit of gray linen, trimmed with white embroidery, a _pelerine ot netted chenille, probably a“‘cast off,” anda black straw bonnet. A group of young girls looked well in white, with hosiery, hats and gloves, which curiously distinguished them, one being red, another black. and a third ecru. The costumes would have been unexceptionable if the red one had not added to her's a blue sash. ‘Mie new shade of red is what is known as Indian red; it is stronger, deeper and finer than the washed-out strawberry, a shade between wine color and crimson, with an oriental tint of yellow in it. This red was exhibited in the sword sash and cap of a young girl who wore a perfectly fitting costume of navy blue, with elastic silk jersey, and skirt composed of kilt- ings; no drapery. HOME DRESSES. A party of young ladies assembled in one of the cottages on Bellevue avenue wore very sim- ple gowns inthe morning and up to the time of dressing for a lawn tennis party. One ap- peared in a linen lawn, made with a blouse waist. belted with ribbon over a skirt trimmed with two gathered flounc Another in a hair- striped cotton, with wi striped flounces of blue and white; and a third in a square cut, red watered dress, with tucked needle-worked yoke and watteau back, the skirt fitted at the sides and bélted in under a wide plait. The gathered and belted waists are very fashionably em- ployed for girls, because they do not require trimming and are more youthful than plain trimmed bodices. The addition of trimming or a fichu adds years to the apparent age, and young women are beginning to understand this and select styles that are sufficient unto them- selves. THREE DINNER DRESSES, though worn upon an informal occasion, will give some idea of the style of dress prevalent at cottage reunions, for they were displayed by ental.” It is undoubtedly true that a chief element in its popularity Is its moderate price, and tne beauty and effectiveness of the patterns. The work is extensively executed upon net in the piece, and with lace to match for ruffling. makes charming evening dresses over silk or satin mervielleux; naturally, however, they are not cheap, for it is essentially adouble dress, com- posed of two exquisite fabrics and ively garnitured with ribbons, whieh this season form shoulder-knots and neckties, as well as belts and howe. The pompadour lace, lace with ralsed flowers, has not had the success that was antici- pated for it. One reason. may be that it is ex- pensive for a light lace, and has not the intrinsic value of hand-made. Ladies who can afford to use it will not buy so conspicuous an imitation of the real. The embroidered laces, on the con- t , are used very fashionably, and upon costly materials and fabrics. Of course they are employed in less quantity than the lighter and less expensive oriental, and imita- tion mechlin, which are massed in gathered and pleated ruffies, and they are used for older per- sons and for more ceremontious costumes. A dress garniture of embroidered lace usually con- sists of a piece of deep flouncing, which forms a rounded apron, or straight slightly gathered flounce across the front, and close hip draperies, making a series of festoons. _A collar or collar- ette and deep cuffs of the lace. which are “trimmed on;” that is put on and fastened down, constitutes the finish of the bodice or basque. Old laces, “heir looms,” are not ot much account now-a-days; they are only consid- ered suitable for dowagers; the young women, married or single, preferring the lizhter modern laces, such as point_desprit, (dotted) imitation mechlin, a fine imitation of a pretty Flemish lace, and In black,the handrun Spanish guipure, which is handsome and durable in the piece, as wellas for bordering. The best imitation laces like the real are now manufactured in several different widths, that for the apron, or tront of the dress being the widest; the basque taking ae narrowest, and the skirt.when it is trimmed rouni re more used than for many years, and squares of Chantilly and imita- tion Chantilly are manufactured for the pur- pose. Lace Yells being also but little employed, ladies who possessed handsome real ones have had hats made of them, and some of the long, old-fashioned ones have been used for the full skirt fronts of rich black summer dresses.

There was not much that was originial or striking among the bathers, which were far more numerous than the visitors at the Casino, but consisted of what an auctioneer would call “a mixed lot;” evidently they were “hotel and boarding-house people,” which in Newport means something very dreadful, and were true to the tradition of navy blue flannel with red or white braid for trimming and the deep blouse, belted or girded in at the waist, and cut in to the figure more than formerly. The trousers have been shortened also of late years, and are no longer gathered into a frill, but are left plain; the thongs of the canvass slippers cross- ing over the ankles, and the arms being left nearly , not so bare as isthe English and continental fashion, for a good reason; our scorching sun and stationary bathing houses, which cannot be wheeled off Into the water, do not admit of it. The most striking get up was that of a young man, who made his appearance ina very fancy blue sult faced with red, with leggings as con- tinuations of his knickerbockers. His cap was red, and he seemed afratd ot spoiling nis outfit, for he did not wet it while our party remained. THE COIFFURE. There is great diversity In the methods of ar- ranging the hair Just now, and the only consid- eration, apparently, that preserves the low cir- cular twists and braids is the necessity of a sup- ete for the prevailing style of hats and bonnets. it has become very common, therefore, to see the hair dressed low in the morning and quite at the top of the head inthe evening, and as the high cofffures afford more opportunity for dis- play and the use of ornament. it is safe to pre- dict that bonnets, more or less, will be made to suit them during the coming autumn. Itisalso expected that there will be a great demand forrich tapestried and embroidered fabrics, stuffy suited to. the reproduction of his- toric designs and Individualized costumes. The enormous impetus given to household furnish- ing and decoration, the fine interior effects pro- duced in modern houses, demand stateliness and dignity in the dress of the women occu- pants, who are selected as part of the orna- mental accessories, and indeed there is som thing absurd in the idea of a ready-made nin teenth century girl in these anedixyal drawin; roéms or distributing a dessert of squash p froin a fourteenth century table in a vaulted dining-room. PRETTY LAWN TE! are cuf square, with high-tucked white bodice and full sleeves. Apron, the top turned over to form a pocket of Turkish embroidery. The skirt of the dress is single and trimmed with bands ot black velvet. This does ‘hot differ in any important respect from the Russian adap- tation, of a peasant dress for this purpose, made by a London modiste and exhibited at the ex- position of the National Health Society. But we have not as_yet produced even an approxi- mation to the “mountain” costume of navy blue serge, with its short gored skirt considerably above the knees—knickerbockers slightly gathi- ered below the knees and neat leggings, a mod est as well as useful dress, and adapted to tri- cycling as well as climbing, to boating, and also to gymnastic exercises, if the leggings were omitted, and an elastic Jersey substituted for the Jersey basque.

A sweetheart’s solicitude: “I’m so alarmed, Lizzie,” exclaimed a St. Louls girl, who was engaged to be married to a young atmy oMcer. “He hasn't written mein three days.” “There is no occasion to get excited,” was the reassur- ing reply; “he 1s out of the reach of Indians, there is no epidemic prevailing where he Is stationed and when he last wrote you he was in perfect health,” “Oh, yes.

No stock on hand: A vigorous old fellow in Maine, who had lately buried his fourth wife, was accosted by an acquaintance, who, un- aware of his bereavement,asked: “How is your wife, Cap'n Plowjogger?” To which the Cap'n replied, witha perfectly grave face: “Wael, to tell ye the trewth, I am kinder out of wives just naow.”—Boston Commercial. “Never would calla boy of mine ‘Allas’” said Mrs. Jones of Huntsville, Ala., “if I had a hundred to name.

In atelegraph office: “What is the charge to Blankville?” “Ten werds for twenty-eight well-known and fashionable women. One was an electric blue surah, the front draped and capitoned with small silk pompons, the bodice crossed and trimmed with 4 light, but very ef- fective, ornamentation, consisting of alternate leaves and flowers of electric blue, and steel beads embroidered upon lace. The second was made of figured silk muslin, exquisitely colored and shaded over a skirt of tinted silk and plaited lace. very light and full. The overdress formed paniered basque in front, which extended into aanery at the back, and was trimmed with lace which ‘matched that of which the skirt was largely composed. A full plaited skirt ofsilk muslin occupied the place ofa vest, and the sleeves were of the figured fabric, with ruffles of the lace. There was a double row of lace—onestanding, the other falling at the throat. The’ third dress was of ruby satin with overdress of flowéred crepe de chine, and garniture consisting of diagonal drapery, cuffs and collar, of embroidered lace—cafe au lait—in tint. A beautifal shot silk was trimmed with opaline braided embroidery and lovely lace. The “season” had hardly begun in the tniddle of July, but some dresses in preparation for expected fetes at the Casino were of cream tinted nuns veiling with embroidered tablier, an embroidered Japanese robe draped over gold satin, and a dainty combination of tinted white silkfand gold tissue garnitured with gold embroidered lace.

There are richly wrought reproductions of kabyle designs in etruscan gold for those who prefer more showy styles, but among people of culti- vated taste nal ornamentation is daily be- coming smaller in quantity, finer, less glaring and less obtrusive, and this refers particularly to that worn upon the street, or In public. LACE IN SUMMER COSTUMES. The extent to which lace is used is a notice- able fact in summer costuming, and the most fashionable lace used on summer dresses by far is that worked upon net and known as “Ori- cents.” ‘Why, it used to be twenty-five cents.” “Yes, but that was before the strike. The ad- ditional three cents 1s for the postage stamp.”— Philadelphia News. re. —___ Tnere Has BEEN a revulsion among the young people at Ocean Grove N. J., from primi- tive styles once prevailing there, and now mild reflections of worldly fashions are to be seen; but this tendency is kept In check, as far as ossible, by the managers. They have a charter m the state which enables them to control most of the action of residents, but they can’t maintain a clese supervision in women’s dress. Sermons against feminine frivolity are preached, and a recent speaker inveighed specifically Inst bangs. Another devoted his condemna- tion to footprints on the sandy beach.

The fish when caught emits a plaintive whistle, which will al- most persuade an angler with any tenderness of heart to throw it back into the water. Char- ley Kimball has one which was cauzht in a net when quite young. He keeps it ina tank, and has taught it to know him and whistle when it ishungry, When its master approaches the fish pushes its nose and mouth barely out of the water, and, making pucker with its lips which'the human pucker does not nearly equal, whistles some shrill notes. It appears to have some of the parrot characteristics, and Kimball thinks that in time he can teach It to whistle part of some simple tune. A Mine From Temple Bar. A formidable mine had been dug and loaded under the Malakoff tower. If Gen. Mac Ma- hon had not chanced to discover in the barrack one wire leading from a well-concealed voltaic. pile to a large quantity of powder under it, and another connecting it with the powder maga- zine, the whole victorious force might have been blown into the air after having gained possession of the fort. The wires were cut, but the powder magazine could not be found- Some of the French soldiers were setting fire to the empty gabions which had been thrust in- to the small windows of the bomb-proof cellar under the tower, in order to barricade it. One of the gablons appeared to be moving. A French officer called out that, ifany one was there who could Siege French, he mightcome out with- out fear. e gabion was — through the window, and a very young Russian officer crept out. He was assured that heand any others paciibealry Sed prisoners of war would be well treated. After saying afew words in Russian at the window he was joined by four officers and 200 common soldiers. They begged, through him, tobe taken away at once. This request suggested some knowledge of an impending explosion. The young officer was therefore ordered to point out the position of the powder magazine. The lad made ne answer. A French subaltern sald in aloud voice to the comman- ding officer that the Russian ought to be shot ifhe refused to obey the order given to save 80 many lives. The youth kept silence, with a haughty glance of indignation at the subaltern, apparently for supposing that he would betray asecret under a threat. e French chiefformed platoon to shoot him and he turned to face his executioners. Anold Russian Major, who seemed to understand French, ran forward, took the commandant by the hand, drew him to a heap of earth, and pointed downward. The earth was quickly shoveled away, and barrels containi: 88,000 pounds of gunpowder were discov |. A strong French guard was placed over them. The young Russian officer was told to go with the other prisoners. He gavea military salute and kissed the old Russian Major's hand. “Do not blame him for showing you the powder,” he said in French to the commandant, with a trembling voice and tears in his eyes. “He is my “ the Malakoff Tower.
