Kln WOMKX WHO WKAIt WATCHES.
If on nro determined to wear your
watch like the rest of womankind,
thrust into your bodlco.it Is a good
idea to have sowed securely to the
lining of each waist one of tho patent
fastening hooks which havo to bo
pressed in order to pass ovor anything.
Clasp this over tho big link at the end
of your chain and you aro compara
tively safe. A strong-handed thief
may break tlio chain, but can not cap
turo tho watch.
Anothor excellent plan would bo to
have a small pocket sowed to tho lin
ing of each bodico at tho placo whero
it is natural to slip tho watch. This
pockot could open towards tho front
mid when tho watch was thrust In,
could fasten it by means of one of
tho patent loops to an eyelet crocheted
on the lining of tho bodico. Xow

on picket would remain, as also the
camp guards.
"At daylight Sabbath Hiorning.Fob.
15, tho corps was in line. Appearances
indicating that wo might return here,
we took nothing hut our blankets. Wo
marched to tlio Yellow House, three
miles away, then south down the Wcl
don railroad about four miles; then
southwest to llowitnty Creek, two
miles. Tlio robola had rifle-pits on thn
opposite bank and had slashed tho
creek full of timber, making it dilll'

He was so close to a squad of about DO
rebels that he asked where they be
longed. (They wi re mostly dressed in
our uniform.) They replied with a
volley, one bullet going through the
(leneral's coat. They captured a few
of our men, when u smiud from my
regiment was sent after them, who
killed two and captured others. It
had been freezing all day. About sun
down wo went into camp on a large

buttons, etc. A big Irishman in the
regiment wanted to trade coats with
him, which lie took as a deadly insult;
and Pat innocently added to his wrath
by asking him if a littlo darky boy
that was running around there was his
son. As the man was very dark
skinned, Pat's question drove him
crazy mad.
"About u o clock that night we
were waked up, and started back on
tlio Viiugh road in the direction of
Petersburg to Hatcher's Hun, about
livo miles. The Second Corps had
captured tlio rebel works hore during

Held, without lire, and did not know
where to get anything to make a lire,
and ull wo could do was In walk about
nnd shivci until daylight about two
hours. This day was cold and we
sull'cred verv much on account of it.
"About 8 o'clock p. m. the Second
and Third Division of our corps ad
vanced nnd drove tho rebels somo dis
tance before wo went in.
"Our regiment was on the left of tho
line and our company on the left of the
regiment, and instead of a lino of bat
tie tho regimi nt deployed like a Bkir-misli-line.
We drove them a mile or
more through tho wooks, over fallen
timber and tree tops, until wo como to
where there, had once been a saw-mill
and a large pile of sawdust. Somo of
our boys were on the sawdust when
they made a charge on our line. Tho
regiment on our right hud fallen buck,
which let the reis in on uur flunk. The
bullets were coming from front and
flunk and it was getting both hot and
close. The rear was the only open
place, and we went back in hurry,
jumping over logs and brush, and nil
tho while tho robs seemed to bo un
necessarily close We soon overtook
part of our division, when wo tallied
und guve them a few volleys, which
iaued them to stop crowding us.
"When we had gotten nearly back
to where we started we found the
Second Brigade of our division in line
with fixed bayonets to prevent our
going further. This brigade was
composed of the 187th, 138th und 180th

rebels bullets were coming thick,
which excited our Second Brigade to
that tbey begin firing right among
tut mast of men in front of them,
Men and officers fell all about, per
haps more than fell from tho rebel tire,
After tbey had tired, many of them
threw awty their guns, and the whole
brigade started as fast ut they could
go tor the rear and got behind the
works, where tome of those who ttill
had their gum continued to fire at our
mon at they came buck. Thon they
made another breuk for the bridge
ana tne otnor tuie or the creex.
"When we got back to the works wti
stopped tho rebels and began to form
companies, regiments and brigades.
Tne comrasndo0four company began
with two mon, but by night we were
all together again. Wo lay on the
frozen ground that night, but 'before
morning It began to sleet, rain, and
freeze, nnd the next day was torrlbly
bad, nnd will be long remembered by
many a poor fellow that had the mis.
fortune to bo wonndod that day. Our
loss in the rcgimont was four killed,
84 wounded, und 14 missing.
Feb. Ill our camp guards nnd erort.

to us, about eight milet from our fir
mer camp, During this time thn
weather was cold nnd it was verv liurd

The Csnr Is Weak and Fat.
A near kinsman of tho czar, who
visits Kiisslu frequently, and who if
well-known for his frnnknoss ns well
ns fairness, told a writer for Harper't
Magazine recently that many or the
things done by tho alleged order of
tho czar wore, repugnant to thai
ruler's feelings. Tho prince's conver
sation might bo summarized In thif
way:
"Alexander has no idea of doing
wrong to any one. His heart Is full
of kindness. Ho Is happy only when
surrounded by his family circle. It
is true that the foulest maladminis
tration and persecution are going on
oil about liltn, but lie, poor fellow, is
Incapable of neclng them. He hears
ouly tho reports of ministers, whor
know that he docs not llko to lis
worried. The poor man Is so burd
ened with fat that ho can scarcely do
nny work; his tempera men t is slug
gish, tie lacks Intelligence; when ho
signs papers he has no idea that ho Is
doing more than an exercise in pen
manship. He Is physically and men
tally Incapable of supervising any de
partment of tho government not
even the military, and as a conso
qtienco the country Is left entirely to
otllcials, who divide up iiowcr among
themselves nnd do what thc canto
remain in otllco."
