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

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. Lines drawn frcra ship to
pointed a committee cf one tc get the leaves and a bit of grated, nutmeg. A P wuuld have made an. aimest per
snofcehouse key from the overseer. few drops cf essential oils, such as triangle. 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."

Gy high in the air.
Then would come 1
the roar of piece, sullen, and heavy.
The New York had scon reduced the
range from 7.009 to C.QCO yards and
soon was tossing shells into Rubaleava
at the rate ot about three a minute
with woaderful precision and appar
ently great destmctiveness. In the
meantime the Puritan was taking care
of Point 3faya. It wa h long shot to
that battery. It was so well mashed
that the only target was the infrequent
smoke from the battery. But when
the Puritan got the range, her shells .
burst every time within ta fcrtihO- t
tion and zreat was the explosion there-
cfl High up into the air would go a
cloud cf dust atoms cf the Spanish
fort looking for all the world like the
explosion cf a magazine of brown pris
matic powder. The Pcriian was doing '
fully as much harm on the east side
of the bsy as the New York was doing
on the west side. All tfeis time the
Cincinnati had remained out of ac
tion. Capt Cbester signaled for per
mission to engage, and it was granted
by the flagship. The Cincinnati steam
ed up to withm 2.3'W yards, broadside

-TNG SPANISH FORTS AT MATANZAS. APRIL
The batteries and the New Ycrk were
just giving the signal tc retire when
one defiant shot was fired from Rubal
eava. It was the last shot that bat
tery was ever to fire. One of the big
guns en the Puritan followed back. It
was the best shot cf the day. It struck
the battery just where the gun was.
tore its way into the earthworks, and
explcded. doing great destruction.
Capr. R. J. MacHagh. an artillery ofn
cer cf the British army, who was a
spectator of the engagement, said it
was cne of the best shots he had ever
sen made. Having practically de
molished the Spanish batteries, the
shins steod cut to sea. Nat a. shell
ence, which had burst above the ship.
a shell had struck just fore of her. and
another struck just aft. 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. On the other
hand, every shot that the New York
fired after she got the range was pitch
ed right into the batteries."

fnd.-i is to have a petticoat ta wear
under the gown of the same color as
the gown itself, but just a shade or

they were, bu the fullness is gathered
into a small space at the back, quite
like the skirt of the gowns, and the

carefully attended to. A deep Span

skirt itself extends under the flounce
