I lilt , in tho center hsliionablo quarter, there on 4 hu'ii was lie speaker "hnn'.e clad in h's now while Mrs. EitS is a woman of remark-able personal and intellectual charms. A few days ago I asked the wiio of a cabinet minister who was tho most cliarminx woman in Washington. With-out a inomenVs hesitation she replied, "Mrs. Robert R, Kitt." "And why, pray?' "Well, first, because sho is a beautiful woman; second, because she has wit, tact, heart, experience. She Bpeaks a number of languages. She knows human naturelike a book and a great many other things, without pre-tending to know much. There is no woman in Washington society who baa had more attentions paid her by distin-guished men than Mrs. Hitt, and yet her head has not been turned in the least. She is the same simple, unaffected wom-an she was twelve or fifteen years ago when she left her father's home in La-fayette, Ind., to marry Jlr. Hitt and go to France." Mr. Hitt is not a commonplace man. Even his friendships are extraordinary. His three most intimate friends are Secretary Blaine, Speaker Reed and Henry Cabot Lodge. In the house of representatives Hitt and Lodge are like tlio two Dromios. They ore moro often seen together than any other pair in congress. They always lunch together in the basement restaurant. Probably Mr. Hitt is nearer to Mr. Blaino than any other man in Washington. Next to him is Mr. Lodge. Speaker Reed's nearest friend is Mr. Lodge and next to j him is Mr. Hitt, but between Secretary Blaine and Speaker Reed, as all the world knows, there is no friendship at all. Some people have wondered why a man like Mr. Hitt should stay in con-gress and be a neighborhood errand boy. Hitt likes his ease and his freedom as well as any man. He has a stable full of horses, a lovely home, a library rich in all the r?ood things found between covers, wealth, a taste for letters and travel, and yet he gives up his time and his energy to the small drudgery of con-gress. I know why he does it, and it is because it gives him an opportunity to be of service to his friend Blaine, to whom he is devoted. But this sort of service is not rendered without sacrifice. Fourth of July morning I was in Mr. Hitt'a library. "See this pile of letters? said he, pointing to a stack at least three feet thick, tightly wrapped in twine. "This is the task I have given myself for the glorious Fourth. I must answer these letters before dark, for already I am three days behind with my mail." "Does that represent the accumulation of three days?" I asked. "Yes. Ami I could never keep anywhere near my cor-respondents if it were not for the assist-ance of a graphophone and two secreta-ries." Down by Willard's hotel one may of-ten see a characteristic summer evening scene in Washington.

The plans for the building are not, yet fully rompletod. Little more than theex terinr baa lieen drawn, aud that tnuy be changed. Iluriihum & Hoot are tha arrhl tects. The most important point aettled Is that the structure will be the highest building in the world. It will have eighteen atones, and the roof will tie 210 feet from the pue mont. The ground dimensions will lie 1,0 by 114 feet. The structuro will be entirely of steel. What tho exterior facing will b is not yet decided. It may be terra cnitn, stone or a sieclal brick made for this par-ticular building. In any c.sb the exterior will lie but a llreproollng, not hearing ili part of the weight of the building.

The criminal First. Second. Thinl iuid Fourth New Jer-sey wore joined later by the Tent !i miu Eleventh and remained in service to ti,i end, losing yOJ killed. A noteworthy in-stance of battle order horn of the oec.'ision came under my eyes in eonnection wilh the "Jerseys" and Phil Kearuy. It was in the "Seven Days'" on that memorable June 30. when the line cf battle tire d.v acri'.)ed three-fourth- s of k circle a round McClellan's army from Wluto Oak swamp to James river. ! Kearny had a division in the center at Glendal. whore the tightirjg whs terrible, and about sundown, when the Pennsylvania reserves had been cut up, fresh Confeder-ates were coming on and tho I'nion re-serves had ail tieea drawn In, he to call for more help. Regiments were prom-ised where a division, a corps w.-i- needed. On Kearny's riht lay ono division, 's (Sixth corps), fighting, it U t rue, but holding its own. Word came to us from time to time of the situation at filendaln, and we knew that the gallant Phil Kearny was battling with his usual Are. The Jer-sey brigade was. with us aud lay on the front line in the center, my own briatla being support to the division batteries. Suddenly we were called into lino and marched rapidly to the front, aud wheu we drew near the outposts the Jersey dashed by at double quick, going toward the rear. They were In high spirits, how-ever, aud wheu we railed out, "What does this mean, comrades?" they answered proudly: "Kearny sent for ua. We are go-ing to help Kearuy." It is no flight ot fancy to tay that the word were as battle music and the men fairly danced with delight to think that Kearny, who had never seen his boys in batt le, had looked to them, as Napoleon did to his Old Guard, to turn the scale of Iwt-tl- o in an extreme moment. They held Kearny's broken line", Kearny held Sum-ner's line, and Glendala was lost to the Confederates. The star division of the Union army was Hancock's old division. Wen. Hich-ardso- n was killed leading it at Antietam, Hancock led it at Maryo's Height, aud it fought under him at Gettysburg, tho Wil-derness, Spottsylvanla and on. It never numbered over 8,000 men aud after Marye'i Heights mustered but about 2.80U. killed during the war aggregated 2,'JSrand its wounded 11,7-J4- . The heaviest division loss in ono battle was sustained by Getty's division (Sixth corps) at the) Wilderness, where 4X0 were killed and 2.31S wounded. . Among the Confederates the Twenty-sixt- h North Carolina at Gettysburg prob-ably had tho severest experience of any regimcut iu one battle. It fought on the first day with Sill men and came out with 219. It went into Picket t' charge on the third day and came out with 8 en. In 0'Ilili.L(iFlillN!i!!.'

American Record Unsurpassed in the Wars of Foreign Nations Some Close Comparisons. volunteer orgaui.ationsof THE civil war considered it a record to have gone their service without I a panic, receiving- at the end I the acknowledgement from j thejr leaders that they had J never disappointed them. Hut it was the talc of some com-mands lo bo placed in extremely trying positions and to risk more than professional pride demanded. The records of a score or more of famous divisions and brigades and several hundred noted regi-ments are brought out in a striking man-ner in Col. William Fox's story of "Rajrl. mental Losses in the Civil War." The in-terest in this work is not maintained by skillful word painting, but by plain figures, skillfully arranged to present at once tho sublimity and the pathos of human brav-ery. For instance, after giving a list of over seventy Union regiments that lost in killed aud wounded from SO to 80 per cent, of tho number engaged, the losses on certain re-markable ocensious in noted foreign wars are cited. The Six Hundred who rode into tho Valley of Death at Balaklava hist 38.7 per cent. The Third Wecphalian regiment at in the Ifranco-Prussin- n war, lost over a thousand killed and wound-ed, but it carried 3,003 men into action aud its total los., includmtr. prisoners, was 4!i.4 percent. In tho same war the GardoSchut-- . zen battalion, at Metz, lost 481 out of 1,000, or 40.1 per cent. The Balaklava charge was a blunder and a disaster and accomplished nothing, hut of course it was a during ride. When we learn, as we do from dl. Fox's work, that the great risks taken in tho civil war and followed by appalling losses were success-- , fill strokes and that every life so lost told in the result, the figures acquire a power that makes each unit a jewel. Take the First Minnssata at Gettysburg, where its total loss was Si per csnt. and its loss in killed 75 out of men engaged; this regi-ment may claim to have performed the highest service on that Held. It saved Han-cock's liua on the second day, and there the battle was decided on the third day. Another instance on a less renowned field was the Fifth Vermont at Savage's Sta-tion, on the peninsula, in 1B3. By Borne misunderstanding one army corps moved out of plana on the march to James ri ver in tho Seven Days' and part of Fninklln's Sixth corps withstood a desper-ate onslaught from Gonfuderat.es launched forth from Richmond in pursuit. The Fifth Vcriiiout was in W. II. T. Brooks' Vermont brigade and was recalled on the march to mafco a stand for the purpose of gaining time. The colonel commanding, Lewis A. Grant, saw that the Confederates bad taken possession of a gorge which en-abled them to sweep the Held with bullets and canister, and at once ordered a bayo-uc- t charm. H was oxectited promptly and the nrrn vfkmont i.inb. all W5 men killed, 502 wonnded nnd 120 (killed or wounded) missing. One com-pany went in the first day with 8 officer and"S4 men. and all t he oflicer and 88 men were killed or wounded. At Fair Oaks Gen. John B. Gordon' Sixth Alabama lost 81 killed, 277 wounded 3f8 out of 632. In the same battle th Fourth North Carolina lost 77 killed and 2W wounded 33 out of H engaged. At Gaines' Mills the First South Carolina Rifles lost 81 killed, 234 wounded SIB out of 637 engaged. At Stone's River the Eighth Tennessee had 41 killed and 265 wounded 306 out of 444 engaged. The percentage of loss for tha whole war cannot be given for Confederate regiment. Four lost over 70 per cent, in single en-gagements, as follows: First Texas, 2t; killed, 4.1; wounded, 141; per cent., 82.3. Twenty-firs- t Georgia, Ma-nassas (Second Bull Run) prwent, IM'J; killed, 38; wounded, 146: per cent., 70. Twenty-sixt- North Carolinu, Gettysburg -p- resent, 820; killed, 86; wounded, 602; per ceut., 71.7. Sixth Mississippi, Shiloh present, 425; killed, 81; wounded, SKI; per cent., 70.5. Fifty-thro- e Confederate rai-ments lost 50 per cent, and upward. In the Union armies complete records display the startlinsc fact in all particulars. The infautry regiment at the head of the roll of honor for killed and mortally wounded is the Fif! h New Hampshire. During four years' service it lost in action 'M men. Theswnnd highest, the Eighty-thir- I'enn- - in such fine style i:t to dislodge the enemy. Then tho Fifth took up a position and held It during the fight, losing I8S killed and wounded out of 428 men engaged. The killed and mortally woutubd number, d 72. Ono company of S3 men lost 44 killed aud wounded, of which 25 were killed. One rcinarknblctliiua about this action was that the killed and wounded lay on a line as the regiment had fought. Gen. D. H. Hill, of the Confederate army, says that to his people it looked like a wholo regi-ment stricken down in their tracks. The Fifth made a grand fighting record all through the war, and nt tho Wilderness lost sixty-thre- e killed out, of 475, or about 13 per cent. During its entire term its loss amounted to about 13 per cent, in killed. The regiment was in a fighting brigade, one that, had tho highest, aggregate loss in killed of any Union brigade during the war. It was the original Vermont brigade. composed of the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eleventh regiments. It killed in t he wholo war was 1,173. In one nctiou-t- he Wilderness- -it lost 1,212 killed nnd wounded. In the nrst two weeks of the Wilderness campaign it lost 1,015 out. of 2 800 men. All of these losses fell on the (i'r-i- t flvo regiments, the Eleventh not being engaged. This Vermont brigade had no connection with Stannard's, that fought at Gettysburg. Stannard's was composed of nine months' men, and was engaged in but one fight . Another brigade noted for its long, high record was the "iron Brijndeof the w est.
