ACROSS THE CATAWBA RIVER
Sixty-Ninth Ohio Regiment Had
Rough Time Negotiating Stream
Hot Skirmish With Enemy.
Comrade Samuel Bright a few weeks
ago wrote nbout "tho night we cross
ed the Catawba," and said that who
ever whs there would remember It. I
remember; I was there Tho Second
brigade. First division, Fourteenth
corps, were- there. nearly a week be
fore wo were able to cross. Owing
to the heavy rains, our brigade had
charge of the pontoons belonging to
tho left wing of tho army. Our regi
ment, the Sixty-ninth Otlo, did not
do much of tho work on tho bridge;
that was done by the Fifty-eighth
Indiana, and Twenty-third and Nine
teenth Michigan, writes O. P. Pauld
ing of Santa Maria, Cat., In the Na
tional Tribune.
We had no cablo that would hold
tho pontoons, so we put down trees
,and trimmed off tho tops and left the
jllmbs sticking out about a foot or
more. To these logs we tied stones
land ropes, and took them out In the
(stream above the nlaco where tho
bridge was to bo placed, and dropped
(them Into the stream, where they
(served as anchors at least sotno of
them did. 8omo failed to stick on the
bottom, and tho least pull would move
,them. We were much hampered from
;the want of ropo; wo used all the stay
.chains on the wagonB. We finally got
enough to atick and hold the pontoons
o the army could cross.
' The bridgo broke several times, but
!flnally all had crossed except our reg
iment Just before the bridge was
taken up we were sent out on the
skirmish line. There were only about
,00 of us on the Johnny side of the
.river. We were strung along In squads
'of from two to ten over a front of a
third of a mile, and one-half a mile
rback from tho river. The adjutant
Eeneral of the division, Capt. Smith,
f whom It can bo well said there
(never waa a better roan, inspected
the lino and gave each man a word
of cheer. Did we need it? Well, yes.
'While the captain was talking to the
,two of us, who were behind an old
Iflreplace, we could see Butler's brig
ade of cavalry, with part of Wheel
er's and Hampton's troops, form In
line not over three-quarters of a mile
;from us. They sent out a lino of not
'less than 300 men as skirmishers.
There were two small ravines be
tween us and the enemy, and soon we
tsaw the enemy disappear in tho farth
est ravlno, but only for a minute;
Jthon they ran to tho second ravine.
lAfter waiting awhllo on they came.
IWe fired on tbem, and they went back
to the ravine, but soon they came
again. They got the second fire, but
'kept on coming. A part of our line
fell back to where It was not so open.
IWe held our new position, and ex
'changed shots with them for quite
awhlle. A part of the rebs got into
two small log houses and used them
las works, but Battery C, First Illinois,
from across the river, soon scattered
.the logs and rebs. Firing ceased about
,nlne o'clock, and we spent the rest of
ithe time badgering our foe, till at mid
.night the bugle blew the assembly.
! Never did It sound qulto so Bweet.
After waiting some ten minutes every
.man for himself stole away quietly to
the river, where we fpund the pon
ton boats. Some of tbem moved
lalong the bank In charge of one man
each, without oars or poles. We got
Into the boats, stripped off our shoes
and coats , ,and pulled out Into the
(streams, using our gun stocks db pad
dles. It waa a perilous ride. I was
Jin the boat farthest upstream, and
'we landed 150 yards bolow whore the
lantern was placed to guard us. Sev
eral of the boats came near going
,over the falls, and had they done so
11 would have been lost Our only
(casualty was Sergeant Tom Adams
Of Compay A, shot through tho right
arm. The crossing was made at Rocky
Mt P. O.
A Rebel Verae.
A rebel soldier, after burying a fed
eral who had been killed during one
!of those sanguinary engagements
(which terminated in the retreat of the
'Union army from before Richmond,
,flxcd a shingle over the grave bearing
thlB Inscription:
,"Tho Yankee hosts, with blood-stained
hands,
ICame southward to divide our lands;
(This narrow and contracted spot
Is all that this poor Yankee got."
For the Band to Play.
The regimental band was playing
on the parade grounds In front or the
icolonel'B quarters, when the colpnel'i
orderly (a German) came in great
Ihaste to the bandmaster and said:
"Der general says ha'f der band to
'blay der 'Stbar Speckeled Handan.
wa.' M
How It Would Work.
"What would you do If I should get
killed?" asked a bunkmate of bis
chum.
"I would have you stuffed."
"Yes, and then if you got mad at
anything I guess you would kick the
stuffing out of me."
No Pity.

STYLES IN CHILDREN'S COATS
Severe Simplicity Will Be the Ac
cepted Idea for the Models of
the Coming Ceason.
According to tho Dry Goods Econo
mist, simple tailored styles for every
day wear are receiving the most at
tention In children's coats. Such gar
ments aro shown in serges, Bedford
cords, whipcords, poplins and fancy
mixtures. Tho collars, cuffs and rovers
aro usually of silk, rntino or cloth in
some bright color. On tho dressier
numbers lingerie collarit and cuffs aro
employed. In most Instances these
are mado detachable, so that they can
bo easily laundered. Belts are a fea
ture of many of tho beBt Belling
models. Frequently tho belt Is seen
only in the back section. When the
entire belt Is used it is placed several
Inches below tho waist lino and is
made of satin, silk or velvet. Plain
or crushed broad velvet belts are con
sidered particularly smart and aro
used with excellent effect on bright
colored coats in red, Wllhelmlna blue,
tan and rose. Sashes are also being
used in a similar manner. These aro
frequently in black or of the same
shade as tho coat itself. '

AIM SHOULD BE SIMPLICITY
Best Ideas for Dressing of Young
Girl's Hair Is Here Given
From Authority.
In tho Woman's Home Companion
Graco Margaret Gould writes "A Talk
With Girls About Their Clothes." Fol
lowing Is un extract which presentH
Miss Gould's Ideas about huirdresslng
for young girls:
"In arranging your hair, I would
bear first In mind, if I weru you, not
to hldo tho shapo of your head. You
may admire tho way your older sis
ter or your best friend's mother weare
her hair, but don't try to copy It. The
moro simply you fix your hair the
moro becoming it is sure to be. Part
ing tho hair either in tho middle ol
at tho Bides 1b very pretty if it hap
pens to bo becoming to you, but if it
1b not, the soft wavy pompadour woru
without a rat is in quite as good Btyle.
Tho hair which is drawn back from
the forehead in a low pompadour and
continued back over the crown ol
tho head, where it is then made into a
little 'coll covered by a big bow, i
very effective, only It must not have
tho effect of all bow and little head.
Tho bow should bo small enough to
show two cunning littlo curls be
low It."
IDEAS FOR SPRING DRESSES
According to Information,' Printed
8llks Will Be Largely Used in
the New Costmuea.
Paris dressmakers are using printed
silks of rather florid designs on soft
silks and crepo do chines for linings,
especially where plain materials are in
question. All crepo fabrics also aro
In demand for homo gowns, and with
these tho introduction of printed silks
will take the form of collar facings
and little touches In tho waist-bands.
Buttons will also bo covered in small
designed printed silk.
Sponge cloths, ratino or velour do
laino, all moro or Icbb the Bumo thing,
will still And favor In the early spring,
but serge and suitings In navy bluo
promlso to bo more in voguo than
ever. ,
In the navy bluo suiting the tiny
pin stripe lu likely to lead tho way,
ono or two coats and skirts having
already been Been In this material.
The fashion in tailor mades docs not
Just yet show much change Tho
lines aro simple in the extreme. The
inverted pleat at front and back, al
lowing of a little moro freedom In
movement, but retaining tho straight
lino, is so far tho only innovation.
New 8creens.
Many of tho new screens aro exceed
ingly beautiful. Those of embossed
leather are much in demand. Except
In tho distinctly Oriental screens thero
Is a reaction agalnBt anything llko
sumptuous decoration. Whon cov
ered with tho new brocades that show
gold and silver threads interwoven In
the lovely patterns of olden tlmo tho
screens are much to bo desired.
Thero is a slight tendency to have
tho material employed for the scroetiB
match tho curtains of dining rooms,
libraries and bedrooms

Woman Is As Old As
She Looks
No woman wants to look old. Many in their
effort to look youthful resort to the "beauty doctor's"
prescriptions. Their mistake is that they visit the
wrong department in the drug store.
Beauty depends upon health.
Worry, sleepless nights, headaches, pains, dis
orders, irregularities and weaknesses of a distinctly
feminine character in a short time bring the dull eye,
the "crow's feet," the haggard look, drooping shoulders,
and the faltering step.
To retain the appearance of youth you must
retain health. Instead of lotions, powders and paints,
ask your druggist for
OF. Pier C6 S PreSption
This famous medicine strikes at the very root
of these enemies of your youthful appearance. It
makes you not only look young, but feel young.
