bier instance of patriotic heroism:
Son the Both of October, 1882,
1000 English fell upon the town
with fire and swords. 700 Ameri-
cans defended the fort for a whole
day; but in the evening about o.
clock it was taken. The comman-
der of the beseiged delivered mp his
sword to an Englishman, who imme-
diately stabbed him. All his COM
radcs were put to the sword. A
line of powder was then laid from
the magazine Of the fort to the sea,
there TO be lighted, thus to blow the
fortress into the air. William Hot.
man who lay not far distant, by three
strokes Of the bayonet in his body
beheld it, and said to one of his
wounded friends who was still alive
I'VE will endeavor to crawl to this
line, and will completely wet The
powder with our blood, and thu,
will we with the little life that still
remains to us, save the fort and mag.
azine, and perhaps few OF ou1
comrades who are only wounded !.
He alone had strength enough tc
accomplish this noble design. il
his 30th year he died on the powdc,
which he overhowed with his blood
His friends and seven of his wound
ed companions by that means hac
their lives preserved

Heading CabbdgeS an Wnter.-
In the fall Of the year when it is time
TO gather cabbages, we always find
more or less of them that have not
formed any heads. They may have
grown well and have large stock
of leaves, but have not closed up in
the form necessary to make a good,
solid, compact cabbage.
A farmer friend of ours has prac-
tised for many years the following
method, which eHcctually closes
these loose leaves in the course of
the winter, thereby furnishing him
with a supply of the best kind early
in the spring. In the fall Of the year,
just before the ground closes up, he
gathers all the cabbagcs which have
not headed together. He then digs
a trench eighteen inches or more
deep, and Of sufficient width TO ad-
nit the cabbagcs. He then closes
the leaves together by hand, wind
ing wisp Of straw or something
else around them to keep them to-
gether; and then puts them into this
trench, with heads down and root.
up. He then packs straw or leave.

and earth snug about them, and
rounds up the earth over them,
The trench should be dug in place
where the water of the rains and
SHOWS runs OF and will not stand
about them. \ board, or couple
of boards nailed together in the
form of roof and put over the
mound, may be useful. i., u !.
In the spring Of the year open
your trench and you will find that
your cabbages are all headed firmly
together, and if the water has not
got in, will be solid and hard. We
once tried a few heads formed in
this way, which were very nice.
By following this plan, we not only
preserve the cabbages well during
the winter, but save much Of the
crop which is considered worth but

The Lion's Leop.-Once when !
was travelling in Namaqua Land, |
observed spot which was imprint
ed with at least twenty spoons or
marks of the lions paw; and as |
pointed them out Namaqua chief
told me that a lion had been practi-
sing his leap. On demanding an
explanation, he said that if lion
sprany at an animal, and missed it
by leaping short, he would always
go back to where he sprang from,
and practice the leap so as to be
successful on another occasion and
he then related to me the following
anecdote, stating that he was an eye
witness to the incident: .....
81 was passing near the end Of a
craggy hill from which jutted out a
smooth rock from ten to twelve feet
high, when perceived number of
zebras gallopping round it, which
they were obliged TO do, as the rock
beyond was quite steep. a lion was
creeping toward the rock, to catch
the male zebra, which brought up
the rear of the heard. The lion
sprang, and missed his mark he
fell short, with only his head over
the edge of the rock, and the zebra
gallopped away switching his tail in
the air.-Although the object of his
pursuit was gone, the lion tried the
leap on the rock second and u
third time, till he succeeded. Du-
ring this two more lions came up
and Joined the first lion. They
seemed to be talking, for they roar
ed a great deal to each othcr,-and
then the first lion led :hcm round
the rock again and again. He then
made another grand leap TO show
them what he and they must do the
next time. The chief added, they
evidently were talking to each 9TH
er, but | could not understand a
word of what they said, although
they talked loud enough; but
thought it as well to be off, or they
might have some talk about me-
