The blouse of the one shown has seams bnly under thearms, and is put on over the head and gathered at the wrist with elastic, As will be seen from the ilius- tration the blouse has a slit below the col- lar, which is buttoned invisibly, and pre- vents it being torn in putting on. The col- lar is loose and can buttoned to the neck band.. The plastron is loose, also, and fas- tens to the blouse with tiny buttons under- neath the collar. This arrangement affords a chahce to have a variety of collars and plastrons. The trousers are trimmed with gold buttons. . There is a dress for a little girl from four to eight years old in the fourth picture, and blue woolen stuff would be a good material for it, with the yoke and sleeves of red and blue plaid. It is more dressy than my other example of the mixture of tartan and plain material, being a little more elaborate, but not much more difficult to make. It would be equally as pretty if velvet took the place of the plaid in the yoke and sleeves, but the velvet should be black or several shades darker than the woolen goods. NEW STYLE OF GIRLS CLOAK. For the little maid who rebels against a Greenaway a dear little cloak is made for just this season. The broad=-waisted bodice tits smoothly a:d isa little short-waisted The skirt of the cloak falls full from it just below the knees. The sleeves are full and end at the wrist in a round cuff. Any soft cashmere in bright red. or clear green, is the Drover goods. The bodice is embroidered stiff with close black braiding. The skirt and sleeves areiaccordeon pleated, and the cuffs are braided to match the ice. The, latter is lined ‘with a bright contrasting silk if green has been chosen for the coat, or with black if red is the color. With the cloak the dearest little bonnet, just like the old-fashioned pictures, can be orn; one that fits close about the face and that has a couple of quaint bows at the top, and the bottom in the back, to say nothing of the one under the chin. The ‘bonnet should. match the color of the cloak. The little feet should have solid and low-heeled shoes, and stockings must, of course, be black,and warm, that the ankles may not be cold.

HarrisBrre.—The Legislature has not yet fixed the date of final adjournment, but the session will hardly be extended beyond June 1. Two years ago the members left for good the last week in May. Already many ‘members of the present sesson are tired of the dull routine work. and are anxious to draw the balance of the salary due them and go home. A The Senate is still away ahead of the House with its work, although holding but, onesession daily to the two held by the House, In 1891the House began holding night sessions April 14 and continued to do so four days a week until the close of the session. he senate will hardly hold night ses<ions. but it is probable that'it will hold morning and afternoon sessions after this week. X There's lots of work ahead for the mem- bers of both branches. Four hundred and fourteen bills have already been introdnced in the Senate, 145 of which have passed. ‘I he Senate has had. also sed 15 House bills, making a total of 157. The total num- ber of bills favorably reported from the committees to the Senate is 365, many of them being House bills. - But 19 bills have been adversely reported. Many others were reported .- from committees negatively though, but were afterward referred back to the committee, then brought out with an affifinative recommendation, and are: now well on their way through both branches. The Senate has voted down 12 bills, the most important of which was the measure to extend -the minimum school term to seven months, the Cronse bill regulating the charges of telephone companies, the Crothers rapid transit bill and the Meek fence bill. There have been introduced in the House 762 bills up to the present time, or 25 more than found their way into this body at the same time 2 yvearsago. Five hundred and forty-three bills have been rerorted from committee tothe House this season.Seventy of these have been acted upon finally and six have gone to the Governor for his con- sideration, The number of bills adversely reported to the Honse is far in excess of those negatived by the Senate committees. This list in- cludes many measures of importance,among them the anti-discrimination and anti-free- pass measures, the Quinnan Railroad Com- mission bill, the bill making it unlawful for railroad companies to charge more than 2 cents a mile for carrying passengers, and a riumber of free textbook measures.

Mr. Focht of Union, changes the liquor laws of the State so that a license shall be granted forevery 100 voters. The Kane bill. requir- ing unnaturalized persons 21 years of age or over to pay a license of $3 annually when employed within this commonwealth, passed finally by a vote of 126 to 11. A similar measure was vetoed 2 years ago, by Governor Pattison. but Mr.Kane is sanguine that the present hill will meet with the chief executive's approval. The Miichell bill, prohibiting the employment of any but American citizens in the erection, enlargement or improvement of institutions or public buildings or public works to which State funds are appropriated, was defeated on final passage. The house then proceeded to the consideration on third reading of the Compulsory Education bill. Mr. Farr, the author of the measure, made a strong speech in its favor, declaring among other things. that there were 100,000 children over Gyears of age in the State who bave never seen the inside of a school house. Mr, Flannery, the colleague of Mr. Farr, pronounced the bill vicious and uncalled for,and urged the House to vote it down. Mr. Lytie, of Huntingdon, declared 1t was class legislation and should not pass. THe bill was [oused. however, by 120 veas to 48 nays. t provides for the attendauce of children between 8 und 12 yenrs for 16 weeks at a school in which the common English branches are tanght, unlesssuch child or children are excused by the school board for satisfactory reasons. There is to be an annnal enumeration of the children between 8 and 12 years by the assessofs.

The measure accord- ing to irs author, does not interfere with the right of parents to educate their children in private or parochial schools, or at home, but merely demands that children shall réceive instruction in the common Engiish branches, unless mental, physical or other urgent reasons prevent. The bill to establish a medical council and three State boards of medical examiners called forth a heated discussion, especially among the physicians in the House, when it was called up tor consideration for third reading and was finally passed. The House then adjourned, Frrriera Day-The senate met for the first time since Friday this evening and rushed a number of bills through first reading. A resolution that no more bills be introduced after April 18 was adopted.

In the House to-day Mr. Wheeler,of Erie, introduced a bill which is considered an en- tering wedge for numerous other claims. It provides for the payment of two members of the Sixteenth Regiment of the National Guard who did service at Homestead and contracted sickness while in the service. Uader the provisions of the bill they would receive pay from the time they entered sac- tive service and during the time they were incapacitated from work. Mr. Lytle of Huntingdon, from the committee on rules reported a series of resolutions to the etfect that no new bills shall be introduced after April 18. The resolutions were adopted.

Mr. Harrison of Philadelphia want- ed Washington's birthday and the Fourth of July included in the bill, and Mr. Fow of Philadelphia wanted Good Friday and Christmas inserted. There was much warm talk, and the bill was finally defeated by 80 yeas and 102 nays. The fardous Fow rapid transit bill, practically monopolized the balance of the session, and is no further ad- vanced than it was two months ago.

Having enlisted at this place in Aug- ust, 1861, we went into camp and drilled until January, 1862. I began to get restless for fear the war wonld be over before we had the opportunity of meeting the enemy and testing the difference between Southern chivalry and Northern grit,and I remember- ed the first battle of Manassas how the boys in gray had routed and put to flight the boys in blue—which victory was a blessing in disguise. Alter marching and counter- marching several hours, we came in sight of the Federal forees in an open field, where we could see them plainly, and could hear the shrill Minie ball whizzing to and fro. At this time we were standing upon a hill and in front of a ravine, east of us, where we could see the boys in blue and gray as they charged and advanced upon each other in ‘deadly battle array.” Here we halted for awhile, and had the pleasure of letting the Federal artillery play upon us for ‘some ar- thirty minutes or more. While we were standing here waiting on the enemy, we saw a regiment of men come helter-skelter, pell-mell, stampeding. and panic-stricken, and we thought General Grant and his en- tire army were making a grand charge; but our delusion was dispel ed when we recog- nized our boys in gray, who had made a charge and been repulsed; they bad as brave hearts as we, but their cowardly legs had got scared and run away with them. When we charged bayonets and stopped them, they recovered their panic, marched back to the front, and charged the enemy with as much zeal and valor as if they had never retreated or fallen back. I wouid not tell of this episode. but thirty years have passed, and all of us boys are past the con- script age. While standing on the hill, as this was our first battle, we must play brave. : While other regiments in the brigade who were christened at Fort Donaldson lay down apon the ground, so the shot and shell that “the bloody 9th Texas” would not play the show the white feather in her first battle. But as time pa-sed on, and the shot and shell fell faster and thicker, now and then some of our boys being struck and wounded, and occasionally a bayonet bent down by a spent ball, we concluded *‘discre- tion was the better part of valor,’ and we lay down quietly like the old soldiers who had seen some actual service. Soon the or- der was given to forward march, and in an open glade in front of us General Patton Anderson's brigade was ordered 10 charge the enemy oii iy the battery that had been playing upon ws, which was hand- somely done; in this charge I received a wound in my right leg from a Minie ball, which prostrated me, While lying on the ground I received a second shot,through my right foot, which caused the amputation of Jy Jeg : hile I way lying on the battle field, wounded, one of the boys in blue, who had been struck and knocked down by a Minie ball, which struck his Bible in his vest pocket, just over his heari—the Bible sav- ing his life—~came up to me and suggested an armistice, to which 1 agreed upon the condition that he would permit me ride him oft the battlefield, back to our hospital tent; and here I brought into exercise my cow- boy experience in Texas, and told him to get down on all fours like a horse and [ would climb up on his back. You can im- agine the picture of the Texas boy in gray -* : riding on the back of one of the boys in blue; such a hugging I gave that boy no pen can describe; suffice it to say, all my war fever subsided, and I have b.en in favor of “peace on earth and good will to men’ ever since. Now if any person doubts this story L can proveit. After this brave boy in blue had deposited what was left of me in the hospital tent, he returned to his command, and. I was left sick and wounded in the hospital tent on the battle field, near the Corinth road. While lying there on that beautiful Sabbath day, thinking over the fortunes of war, and watching the captured cannons and baggage wagons passing back in ine direction of Corinth, about 4 p. m. I saw a brigade of boys in blue marching by as prisoners, and I first thought we had captured General Grant and his eftire army. but I soon learn- ed that it was Prentiss’ Brigade, and it may be the boy in blue was one of his men, and taken a prisoner after favoring one of the boys in grav by permitting him to ride him oft the battle field. Such are the scenes and fortunes of war. Just before I was wounded I saw many rights, some horrible, some amusing and novel. I remember seeing one of the brave boys in blue, poor fellow, who had offered up his life upon the altar of his country; he was lying on his back, ' with his quiet face upturned to heaven, his head upon his knapsack, and his hands folded upon his breast, a cob pipe in his mouth, as if smok- ing the ‘‘pipe of peace.” I never would have dreamed or believed that soldiers could have indulged in such levity upon the battle field, in the presence of death, it my own eyes had not witnessed this strange sight. As 1 passed un beyond and over the brave boys in blue, lying on the battle field wounded, dead, and dying, I saw some around the tents and camp fires with their pans and slap-jacks in their hands, as if to say to us: ‘‘Rebels from Texas. can’t you wait until breakfast is over before you make this uncerinonious cali?” As to the conduct of the 9th Texas Regi: ment during the battle, I can only say that Colonel Stanley in one of the charges seized the colors, and holding them high over head, called upon the regiment to follow him, and charged over the hill, amid a shower of leaden hail from the enemy. The effect was electrical, and General Patton Anderson in his report says the language of eulogy could do no more than simple justice to Colouel Stanley and his valorous Texans, who were eyer in the thickest of the nght, and ready to resrond to any demand upon their courage and endurance. And here ends my actual service and bird's-eye view of the battle; the balance I only learned from the legends of the sol- diers and the war ToPoHs our Government is publishing.—J. M.

The other Statesof Mexico are falling into line and the indications are that bullfighting in this republic will soon be abolished.

The sieamer Loy Angeles, from San Fran- cisco, arrived at Redond, Cal.. having on board Captain Drummond and three of the crew of the four-masted steel British ship King James: previously reported abandoned on fire. Th aptain and his companions were picked up off Huenne one morning. Their boat. when it left the burning vessel, contained 18 men, but 13 were drowned by its being capsized. The boat was caisized during the eveniag of March 31, and four of the occupants were drowned. The captain, his son and the remainder of the crew succeeded ix righting her, but the boat was nll of water and they remained up to their wai-ts in wa- ter 14 hours, when the men, worn out. ex- hausted,and chilled began dying. One after anoth r they passed away until eight, in- cluding the captain's son were dead. The dead were pnshed overboard. When vicked up by the Los Angeles this morning the captain and the three remsin- ing members ot the crew had been five days without food or water. They were so weak as to be unable to stand or walk, and had to be lifted from the boat. : THE SULTAN’SSHIP WENT DQWN And Sixty Persons Aboard Went Down With Her. ‘At Constantinople the steamer nsed by the sultan in connection with the palace for his own pleasure, and to convey guests and members of his household, foundered on Sunday. It is believed that sixty persons,on board at the time, perished by drowning, and that a splendid service of silver plate used in the imperial dining-room on the steamer, went down with the vessél. Details of the calam ity are lacking. The censors are suppressing all reports of the disaster to the palace steamer, and jour- nals printing stories of the calamity have been seized by the authorities. A ukase has been issned prohibiting newspapers from being printed before the afternoon, presumably to permit the censorsto enjoy their morning snooze before having to examine the proposed issues.
