FULL STORY OF GENERAL AMES
DEEDS AT FORT FISHER.
General Charles A. CarJetos, VTlio "Was
Chief of Staff" to Ames. Describes the
. Battle General Cjrrtia' Erisdo ZSI&de a
DcciaiTe Cnnrge.
IGKT has Icng
been waii ting--up-on
the action csf
the Pederal
troops and their
leaders in the
Etcjrming of Part
Fisher, and what
ever tends to
clear Tip the ob
scurities hanging
over that battle is
a real conmbu
tion to history.
After rwo for
midable attempts
to reduce it, with
its -walls pierced
and its armament
in part disabled by a terrific naval bom
bardment, the mighty stronghold stood
defiant, garrisoned by 2,000 to 2,500
Confederate soldiers, with more at hand,
when it was gallantly assaulted and
carried by less than 3,300 trGops, Tinder
General Adelbert Attws;
The stcry of the defense was told in
The Century "War Papers, " by Colonel
William Lamb, commandant of the fort,
and readers of that narrative cannot fail
to see that the desperate fighting on the
part of the garrison was made necessary
by the gallantry cf the Pederal assail
ants. After waiting more than 30 years,
for reasons of his own, General Ames
has prepared a statement of the ssault
and capture, and doubtless the public
will have the privilege of reading it in
an nngarbled form at no distant day.
.Nest to General Ames, there is no one
be tier able to speak of the events of that
day than his assistant adjutant general
and chief cf staff, General Charles A.
Oarleton. General Carleton was beside
General Arties h11 through the fight and
was the only one oct of five members of
his personal -tail spared by Confederate
bullets to enter the fort with him at the
head of the conquering column.
"Since the days of the peninsular
war, when the soldiers of France, Eng
land and Spain stormed the fortified
towns of the peninsula, there has not
been a more bloody and desperate assault
on a fortified place than that led by
Arses as Port Fihrr. " said General
Carleton in a recent interview. "Ames
fight was a desperate and murderous
hand to bawl assault, lasting from 3 :3d
in the afternoon until nearly 10 at
night, and be wcu the battle. The brunt
of the assault trpon the giant stronghold,
from the initial charge cf Cnrtis brigade
a decisive sciikvema.., which gave
us an entering w 3dge all through the
fearful hand t hand combat on die
walla and in-i&e the inclcare, was
borne by Ames division, aad he was
fri-msftTf at the hezd cf it every mossent,
leading a charasrd life that dsry.
"Curtis was struck dewa at Ames
feet, the last of three brigade command
ers to fall, and that in the very heas of
the crisis. Then there was no oir left
to lead the troops, except Atiics, his staff
and the regimental mnasiKkTS.
"Ames was a Wort Feint gntdsxte.
and at the outbreak cf the vcr vrap a
lieutenant in one cf the r; cnLrr batter
ies. At the first battle of Bull Ran he
was wounded while displaying grate
gallantry in actios. He net iiepeared
in the field at the head of the Twentieth
Maine volunteers, which he led in the
bloody assault on the stone wail at
Fredericksburg. A general's star was
given him, and his followers say that he
made an ideal leader cf troops. He never
hesitated to take desperate chances, and
under the hottest fire, when officers and
men were failing on all sides, he sat on
his horse ccolly watehiin; the course of
the battle and calmly delivering his or
ders. When the assault commenced on
Fort Fisher's walls," cenrinnt d General
Carleton, 'Ames advanced at the head
of the brigades of Colonels Bell and
Pennypackcr. Cartas' brigade, one of
three in the division (numerically the
First), hsd already gained an out
work, and it was ordered by Ames to
push forward to within 200 yards of the
walls of the main fort. This advance of
Curtis sumrcoaed the Confederate garri
son to the parapets, and a stinging fire
greeted the assaulting columns.
"Ames was at the frcnt, and every
time that he and his staff group appear
ed together they became targets for
Eharpshooiers stationed along the para
pets or in the palisading. The general
wore a full dress uniform that day and
could easily be distinguished by the ene
my's marksmen. During the entire bat
tle cf seven hours General Terry, the
commander of the army, gave Ames but
two orders, and these I heard and re
corded at the time. Before we left the
rear lines upon this assault General
Terry was located at an advanced and
abandoned Confederate redoubt, outly
ing and somewhat less than half a mile
from Fort Fisher proper, and he there
remained until summoned to the fort by
General Ames after dark.
"I heard General Terry say to Ames,
General Ames, the signal agreed upon
for the assault has been given. 'Have
you any special orders in regard to it?
inquired Ames. '2so, replied Terry.
You understand the situation and what
it is desired to accomplish. I leave ev
erything to your discretion.'
"I went to the rear at least twice
during the battle and saw Terry, report
inz to him the condition of affairs as
they were, d he told me he had no
instructions for Ames, thus intimating
that he left everything to his judgment.
"The second order received by Ames
during the battle was this, 'General
Terry orders you to make one mare effort
to capture the fart, and if you fail to
retreat.' This came to Ames by a staff
officer seme hours after the first and
while we were struggling to reduce par-'
tians remaining unsubdued.
'When ready to advance and carry
out General Terry's first order, Ames
said quietly to his staff, 'Gentlemen, we
will now go forward.' As soon as we
appeared upon the level space in frent
of the walls the little party of six was
selected as a target. Noticing that,
Ames said, 'We had better separate
somewhat.' Instantly Captains Dawson
and Keeler were struck, Dawson with a
mortal wound. Captain Iockwcod was
disabled fcr a time with a contusion cn
the head, leaving only myself and Cap
fain 3Iathews with the general. Math
ews was afterward wounded. The
charge of Curtis brigade into the fort
was led by Cat! tain. Lawrence, another
13-.
itEL
cf Ames' Etair,wno was tne ncA. man to
pass the palisading. While extending
his hand to receive a guidon which he
intended to place on the parapet his left
arm was torn off by a shelL He was
also wounded in the right arm and in
the throat. The charge was a decisive
achievement and gave the division a
foothold. Curtis' advance had been most
difficult The palisades confronting him
could not be scaled and had to be cut
away.
"The instant that Curtis flags crown
ed the parapet Ames ordered forward

uimselt at toe neaaot tne column, lxjio- '
nel Pennypacker fell wounded while 1

JT
tally wounded almost at my side, I hav- i
ing under Ames orders directed him i
where to attack. Thus two brigade com- i
manders were down, and the third, Cur
tis, was about to fall.
"At that time I was within six paces,
or less, of Curtis, on the interior plane
of the fort, and in conversation with
Ames, who was giving general direc
tions as to the fighting of the troops.
Curtis approached the general and was
on the point of speaking to him when a
shot from a Confederate battery outside
the fart struck a small bunding in Cur
tis rear. The thought passed through
my mind that it was a close shot, and
immediately afterward Curtis threw up
his arms and fell backward, tossing in
his sword in the movement so that it
landed at my feet This occurred about
4:30 p. m. The wound given Curtis was
in the eye and resulted either from the
shot direct or from a splinter hurled
from the shattered building. Then it
was, in the crisis cf the fight, five hours
before the stronghold surrendered, that
Ames stood all but alone. The three
brigade commanders and nearly all the
regimental commanders had fallen, and
of the general's personal staff I alone re
mained unhurt.
"Ail this time the Confederate de
fenders were fighting bravely, their
leaders cheering them on with the hope
that if they could hold out until night
fall re-enforcements would bo sent to
their aid. Their sharpshooters cut down
all our color bearers, and our flags dis
appeared from the outer walls. Great
timbers, gun carriages and even cannon,
broken by the huge missile? of our fleet
bombardment, were lying in heaps, and
around and on them the fight waged.
When darkness came on, the battle was
not ended, but with Ames, standing
among his men and cheering them on
in their work, no suggestion to falter,
to suspend the engagement until the fol-

lowing morning, nor to intrench, found
a listening car. 'Advance!' 'Drive the
enemy from his positions!' were his re
peated orders.
"About 9 o'clock, under a general as
sault cf our division, supported on one
flank by Colonel Abbott's brigade taken
from Paine's intrenched line, the garri
son, or what remained of it, fell back,
keeping up a steady fight with its rear
guard.
"Ames vigorously pushed his advance
along the beach in pursuit of the enemy.
The Confederate General Whiting and
Colonel Lamb, commandant of Fort
Fisher, lay wounded in Battery Buch
anan, one of two outworks which had
raked the assailing columns as they
crossed the parapet. Captain Lockwood
of Ames' staff had partially recovered
from the effects of the wound received
early in the fight and was at the front
with the men who reached the battery
first He received from the fallen lead
ers word that they would surrender the
fort and all its fares, and to him the
surrender was made about 9:30 o'clock.
This was announced by General Ames
to his men, who received it with cheers.
He then signaled it to the fleet, and
rockets were fired from the warships in
honor of the victory.'

That the use of false hair as an
to feminine beauty was not unknown
.. - n j m.
to the ancients is well proved. ne
Greeks, Ramans and Egyptians, long
before the dawn of the Christian era,
resorted to the wearing of tresses ob
tained from other persons' heads. They
even went so far as to paint bald heads
so as to represent them as covered with
short hair, also marble caps so painted
were worn. A valuable merchandise in
the blond hair of German women is.
mentioned in ancient Bcman history.
A question that has doubtless often
presented itself is, Where did all this
hair come from? This question I will
endeavor to answer. With the coming
of spring in the midlands and west of
France appeared what may fitly be
termed a singular class of nomadic indi
viduals, armed with long, iron tipped
staves and bearing heavy packs of mer
chandise upon their backs. At first
glance one would have taken them to
be ordinary hawkers, yet merchandise
was but an accessory to their strange
industry. They were the coupeurs, the
reapers of a hirsute harvest
Armed with long, keen shears, they
went their way seeking the tresses of
willing victims dwelling in outlying
hamlets and villages of peasant France,
and a laborious business it was. From
"dewy morn" until the shadows of
night gathered thickly they did their 10
or 15 miles a day often fruitlessly and
with empty stomachs, their only bed the
wayside. In Auvergne these seekers
after hair were known as chimneurs.
The Bretons called them margoulins.
These terms have not fit English paral
lels. These curious journeymen exerted
every effort to gain their ends a good
head" of hair the former preferring the
local fairs as a workroom, the latter
choosing to visit the dwellings of their
possible clients. In summer the Brittany
margoulin was often seen going through
the streets, carrying his long staff, from
which hung twists cf hair, while he
cried in doleful tones the well known
"Piau, piau!" at the sound of which
I the cottagers, wish aa itching desire to
! possess some of his gewgaws, attracted
1 the wanderer's attention. He was only
too pleased to dazzle their eyes with his
; many colored wares, and the bargaining
j was not slow to begin. While the women
I fingered his goods the margoulin weigh
ed her tresses with his hand, a proceed
ing at which he was adept through long
practice. The bargain ended, the woman
yielded her abundant locks in return for
a few yards of cotton stuff or a gay pet
ticoat, to which, thanks to the progress
of civilization, theccupeur had to add a
trrrtftn sum of money. Sometimes the
transaction was not completed without
1 much discussion on both sides. Very
often the coupeur had to return to the
I charge owing to female indecision, and
j he was more than happy when sure that
1 a tardy remorse would not rob him of
I half his coveted trophy.
I Until the authorities intervened, cut
1 ting was conducted in public as an
' amusement for onlookers, it being con
l sidered highly entertaining to hear 10
i or 12 rival ccuneurs eulocizing their
wares, each protesting his to be far su
perior to his fellow's. The prohibition
of this custom drove the hair harvesters
to erect tents, rent for the day unoccu
pied sheps, cellars, stables cr any corner
they could find wherein to establish
themselves. Sticks were then stuck up,
from them being suspended petticoats
as a lure, as an indication of what could
be had in exchange for tresses; to the
petticoats were attached twists of hair
as trademarks. The ruse succeeded,
peasants halted, casting envious glances
at the multicolored garments. They
were handled and even tried on, thus
affording an opportunity to the coupeurs
to flatter their fair customers who did
not long rest and victory rewarded the
cute buyers. In Auvergne where the
coupeurs were most numerous the
greatest harvest was reaped on St. John's
day. The ingathering extended from
April to September, during which month
the butchers, bakers, locksmiths, etc.,
forsook their ordinary avocations for
that of the coupeur, returning to their
legitimate trades with the coming of
the dead season. The hair of different
countries was distinguished by certain
qualities. For instance, that of Au
vergne was the coarsest; the finest and
most flaxen frcm Belgium; the blackest
and longest from Italy, while that pro
cured in Brittany was the most beauti
ful, though least well cared for.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
2Iany of the Hoots an Insult to the Iu
telHgreHcs of Toms People.
Edward W. Bok has been making a
careful and comprehensive examination
of Sunday school libraries, and ia The
iadies' Heme Journal he confesses .him
self disgusted with the literature thus
placed in the hands of our boys and
girls. A less complete investigation,
Mr. Bok says, would not have made it
possible far him to believe that the li
braries of cur Sunday schools were
stocked with such piles of rubbish
"wishy washy literature," as he terms
it. He quotes the titles and gives the
themes of a number cf books he obtained
from Sunday school libraries, and these
seem to completely warrant his conclu
sions. "Such books, he contends, "are
an insult to the intelligence of the
young people and have a pernicious in
fluence. Instead of being healthy books
they are decidedly unhealthy in tone
and teaching. Surely we are cultivating
a dangerous taste for reading in the
vounir when we feed them on such rub
bish.'' Mi. Bok unhesitatingly lays - vpart of
the blame upon the publication boards
and societies, which are influenced by
a denominational spirit that narrows
their choice of books. Then, again, it is
shown that the most mcdiccre sort of
"talent" is employed to write these
books, and that beggarly prices less
than S0 per book are paid. A share
of responsibility, 3Ir. Bok asserts, rests
upon the men who purchase Sunday
school libarries, who, as is most fre
quently the case, are not qualified far
the task and whose object is to secure a
library as cheap as possible. Mr. "Bok
warmly urges that the selection of Sun
day school books be left to women, who
"instinctively know and feel the kind
of a book which a boy or girl will read
and enjoy." He insists that women
should be given carte blanche to make
the selections so far as the prescribed
amount of money will go. "A hundred
good books," Mr. Bok concludes, "are
far better than 500 books of indifferent
interest," which are bought simply be
cause they are cheap. "A Sunday school
library cannot be created in a day, and
no discouragement should be felt if the
financial means of the church are con
tracted and necessitate the purchase of
only a few books at a time.'

Helpless as to Bread.
Captain Bliss was like all seamen, a
strict disciplinarian, and his crew re
spected him beyond measure. .Not one
of them would have dreamed of inter
preting a command otherwise than ac
cording to the strict letter cf the law.
Things must be done shipshape under
his rule.
One day, while the ship was in a cer
tain port, the captain gave a dinner to
some town acquaintances, and as the
resources of the ship were not great
some of the sailors were deputed to wait
on the table to re-enforce the insufficient
number of stewards.
As these men were not used to such
work each cue was told exactly what
service would fall to his share.
The hour came, and the dinner went
merrily on. Presently, however, one of
the ladies wanted a piece of bread.
There was none very near her, and the
finely disciplined stewards seemed to be
quite oblivious to her need. She turned
her head and spoke very softly to the
man at her elbow.
"Bread, please," she said.
He looked regretfully at the bread
and then at her. It was evident tbat he
would fain have helped her if it had
been in his power. He saluted in fine
naval style.
"Can't do it, ma'am," said he. "I'm
told off for taters." London Tele
graph. Lord Ifelson's Spirit,
Captain Airrcd T. Alahan writes an
account of "Nelson In the Battle of
Copenhagen" for The Century. Captain
Mahan quotes the following from the
account of the engagement written by
Colonel Stewart of the British forces:
"Lord kelson was at this time, as he
had been during the whole action, walk
ing the starboard side of the quarter
deck, sometimes much animated and at
others heroically fine in his observa
tions. A shot through the mainmast
knocked, a few splinters about us. He
observed to me with a smile, 'It is warm
work, and this day may be the last to
any cf us at a moment, ' and then, stop
ping short at the gangway, he used an
expression never to be erased from my
memory and said with emotion, 'But,
mark you, I would not be elsewhere for
thousands.' " With this spirit may be
compared his rebuke some days after the
battle to a lieutenant, who during the
action had made a hopeless report about
the frrounded ships, "At such a moment
the delivery of anything like a despond
ing opinion, unasked, was highly repre
hensible and deserved much more cen
sure than Captain Foley gave you."
Brains Bigger Than Dtlan's.
According to Professor Max "Weber of
Amsterdam, the only animals which
surpass man in the absolute weight of
their brains are elephants and whales,
but there are several that rank ahead
of him in the ratio-of the brain weight
to the total weight of the body. All of
these, however, are comparatively small
animals. Among them are many mon
keys and certain members of the squir
rel and mouse families. Kb animal of
greater bodily size than man has a brain
which is relatively as large as his. Up
on the whole, it seems that man's men
tal superiority is due rather to the qualr
ity and organization than to the size of
his brain.
Darwin and Tynnall proved what nat
uralists before their time suspected, that
the air is literally full of plant germs
and seeds.
