shooting, going through a great many
pantoniinic motions, showing how peo-

they were not shot, how they were bea-

pointed out the precise spot where he
had recently shot dead man under the
most singular and appalling circumstan-

mascus, after leaving party Of travel
iers at Jerusalem, he had occasion to
pass this way in the middle Of the night,
which was the time he usually chose for
travelling when alone, as il increased
the danger Of robbers. He knew there
were robbers waiting for him here, and
in order to give them notice Of his ap-
proach he wat. singing merrily as he rode
along. All at once he saw a very tall

man instead Of falling upon his knees,
seemed to grow taller as the destroyer
Of robbers approached. Fool that you

and drawing his pistols; "don't you

Still the man made no reply. "Then

GEx. Scorr As An ORAToR.-The ed
nor Of the Lowell Journal, who was an
officer under Gen Scor,'s command in
Mexico. says:
at 10 not an uncommon thing for Gen
Scorr to make brief, terse, and elo-.
quent address to his men on the battle
field. On such occasions he 10 extreme
ly happy, and the earnest and feeling
with which he speaks, shows that his
whole heart 10 in what he says. Many
Of these addresses might be cited. Al.
ter the fall OF Chaputepee he rode up
the hill where our soldiers were shooting
down the Mexicans after they were ta'
ken prisoners or had surrendered. He
closed feeling address, in which he
dissuaded them in the moment Of tri.
unph from doing an act that had the
appearance of inhumanity, with these
words: Deeds like yours are recorded
in history. Be humane and generous,
my boys. you are victorious. I will get
down on my bended knees TO God for
you tonight
Some oi his answers 10 the Mexican
Commander in Chlef were brief and to
the point. The night before the battle
Of Chepultepec, SANTA ANNA sent word
to ScorT, that unless he surrendered in
four hours he would show him no quar-
ters! General ScoTr sent back that he
found his (SAaTA ANN.'s) quarters 90
far, very good, and he should take pos
session OF the rest Of them without ask
ing him to show them to him! Again,
when the troops were about entering
the Capital, SANTA ANNA sent to Scorr
for his terms The latier's reply was
Il have no answer to give and no ques-
ton to ask 1t was time for action
and not for parley.
Gen. ScoTT wis educated to the bar,
and on ordinary occasions (of the field)
he speaks rather slowly, and with great
delioerat,on, as well as with great elo::
qucnee. His different speeches before
the Court Of Inquiry in the National
Palace in Mexico, were admirable spe-
cimens Of his oratory and eloquence. In
deed, there was something akin to mort
sublimity in that scene--she great Cap
tain Of the age and conqueror Of Mexi-
CO. a prisoner as 1t were, in the Capitol
ofthe country he had conquered, and
on the very theatre Of his brilliant victo-
ries-which invested his appearance be-
fore that tribunal with degree ot thrill
ling interest never before witnessed on

the county Of Meath, Ireland, May !,
1869 and We have news that he died
at Walmer Castle, England. on Tues
day, September IA, 1852. Receiving
the early part Of his education at Eton,
he afterward went to the military col
lege at Anglers. He became Captain
Wellt sley in 1893, and 1897 distinguish
ed himseli a. Colonel Wellesley at the
storming Of Seringapa'am. In 1902, as
General Wellesley, he gained further
successes in the Mahratta war and in
1902 won the famous field Of Assaye.--
A. Sir Arthur Wellesley he obtained
great distinction IN 1908 and % IN the
Peninsular war. After the battle Of Tai
avera, and the passage Of the Douro, he
received, August 20, the honor Of 4
peerage, by the title Of Baron Douro
and viscount Wellington. Parliament
voted him thanks and apcnsion ofE2000

In 1913 he was created Marquis Of
Wellington by the prince-regent, and

The battle Of Toulouse, which termina-
ted Wellington's seventh peninsular
campaign, was fought after Napoleon
had abdicated. The battle oi Waterloo
put the apex to the pyramid Of his mill

in the House Of Lords. On the 18th oi
May Of that year, it was voted by the
House Of Commons that the cum Of
