It was while we were in the border cf Kentuchy that we haited at a good spring te water men and horses. The fine mansion on the farm had been j bcraed. leaving enly the chimneys i standinz. The surrounding shrubbery, i orchard and improvements showa that it had brn the abode of wealth and comfort. The bams, out-houses and negro quarters were all in good condition, and were so attractive that we concluded to pitch camp here for . a wr.fle and feed, while we made cof- I fee for cnrselves. Hiding into the or- j chard, we dismounted and scon had , fires made with fence rails, and the . men hastened to the crib after corn fr their horses, which were fed on the ( zroend where thy stood. It was about this time that we found .act the true situation cf affairs, as the j overseer came dashing ameng us. wav- i iez his cane and ordering us off the , premises. He was told that the Yankees had possession now. "Damn ! the Yankees' ' he cried. ! This exclamation was his undoing. Immediately the men gathered around j him. so as ta form a nag. and he was i forced to tell a!! he knew. He said ( that tne owner cf the place had gene soeth with his family. leavmg tne overseer in charge and with instruc tions to raise a crop. To do this, he ; had twenry-five hands subject to his ( orders. The Yankees, he said, had Tscmed the house. When asked the , name ef the owner he answered. "Col. NTfcxen. sah. an he is a 'Jcnfederate. as he "s a r.ght to be." ', The recollection of Cel. Nixcn re- , stared his courage somewhat, and he ; again peremptorily ordered us cil the I pJace. "Repeat mat ooce mere, you . damned cfe: rebel, and we will tie ycu i- r ti tirrliK tn m nf rnnr lrae- T - . . tifei apple trees ta aanr in tne pleas ant shade." said one of tne boys. Then there was silence On going to the negro quarters the feoys faand two negro ccoks in charge, and it afforded tnese much pleasure to give all the information they possess ed. There was not a man on the place, incept the overseer. All the colored men and boys had teen sent down south to raise feed far the Confederate j armies, leavinz twentv-Sve colored wo- men to do the work on the farm. These were the "hands" mentioned to us by the overseer. They said that the "hess" was very cross and crueL and that he whipped them unmercifully. On hearing- this the boys concluded to take seme of the starch out cf the "boss." When the women were asked if there was any bacon an the place they said. "Yes, in the smokehouse; dat's plum fuE." When asked tcr the keys, they said the "bess" had them in. his pocket. We also learned from the ccoks that the women working in the fields were compelled to take their dinners with Tr?-n and that they had to work Trr-T; dark. On hearing T!re we sent cne cf the cocks to the fields to tell .the wemen to come to "quar ters" at once. It was net long until the dusky dam sels began to ccme in. some ct them badly scared, while others were ha a gccd humor and semed to look upon the anair as a joke. The gathering about the ccckhcuse had excited the appetites cf the boys. 1 and it was determined to have some food cooked. Accordingly I was ap- rcct. sixteen parts of dried lavender aoard side.

At a few minutes before I approached that mdrvidaal, and . -r. ., Tiith. meek, ceremeny made my request, I 'saidi "If you give me the key we ; wiil not wanr much, but, if ycu. refuse, we will go into the house anyway, and t all the contents."

Tier ac already fmrnd some axes, and it was rot lcng; nrrri! the deer to the smokehouse was a thf-ng of the past. We found enough meat to snaulv a rezimenr fcr a week. Our officers, of course, were unaware cf what was transpiring, nor -was it necessary to inform them. It was a ' matter which ire felt ourselves ca- pable of attending to ourselves, while they were resting. yp -. overseer discovered what . -ere Hfi'rs he came at ua azain in a ST631 raze. waving his cane as b fare, and threatening terrible thmgs. ge ot paji j,js revolver, although he wore cne. for there were tso many ... , -. danglins trom the celts cf the solders.

I told him that it he behavec himself while we wers there I wculd return the weapon tc him when we left. "How long will you stay? he asked. "Three days," I answered. This he took very hard The boys had the women cooking feacca and cabbage, and a big feast was n ccntcmplaticn. All went well, anrt when everything was raady a gcod dinner was sBt tc the officers, whe :ent back word that we would march j ia one hour. I offered food to my pns- , oBer, bat he declined.

Reluctantly we obeyed, for it was a good place tc stay. However, before I took n; ieave of the nad overseer I told him ta pay strict he'd to my parting re marks, in order that he might cieariy understand and ugc forget them. Then I said.

After waiting in vain for the Spanish to renew tne engagement, the ships withdrew, leav ing both batteries in ruins. When Rear Admiral Sampson, on the flagship New York, left the cruising ground to pay a visit to 3Iatanzas and Cardenas he made up his mind that something had to be done with the very aggressive Spanish artillerymen, wno were man ning the batteries out that way.

The fact that the Spaniards failed to strike such a large target as the New Ycrk. towering; as she dees like a house out of water, was taken as evidence that they art net good marksmen.

AU these are fuller than they were, bu the fullness is gathered into a small space at the back, quite like the skirt of the gowns, and the fit over the stomach and the hips is carefully attended to.
