THE BEAUTIFUL BgeaaR. !. 4 BALLAD 8
BY WILLIAM SoaTH.

1t was in Summer 8 brightest days,
Beneath mighty tree

Sat knights and ladies three.
Each laughing pair Of lovers there

When lot girl with golden hair
Came slowly from the wood.
The sun bad Drowned her sweet fair face,
Her feet we're travel sore, n
a mandolin with touching grace
Upon her arm abe bore.
And to the knights and ladies three
Right sweetly did she sing,
IL seemed some bird upon tie tree
Rsposing weary wing.
Right sweetly did she sing 10 Them
A tear in each blue eye,
That sparkled like some costly gem
Which sceptered rnonarcins buy.
And thus she spake . o ladiea fair

By your bright eyes and beauty rare,
And by yoar matchlsss spears!

But golden pieces bFfghs:
For ye may love and raysi long
Nor see SO sad wight!
In Barbary, the Moslsm' slslave,
My lover sighs for me
And I were rather in my grave,
Than thus alone and free.
g He was the bravest of our youth.
And loved me when q child,
And never treason to the truth,
His noble lips defled

And for his freedom pay f'

And said: M y pretty maid

HORRIBLE BuTCHEElEs AT Annoy inn
perial forces of China since their recapture of
annoy, have been committing unsurpassed cruel
ties upon the insurgents A letter from that
city to the New York Journal of Commerce,
thus depicts the brutal scenes:
Many were put on board the Government war
ijnnks, of which some sixty were anchored in
the stream, and after being bound hand and
foot, were thrown into the sea, and there
pierced with pixies as often as they rose to the
surface of the water Hundreds were taken TO
the jetties and beheaded by clumsy execu-
tioners and their knives growing duh under SO
much butchery, they were often obliged to
strike thrice more before the head could be
severed from its body. More horrible still were
other scenes in this awful tragedy Some were
put to death by the slower process of dismem-
berment. First, a single leg was hewn off,
then the other after that the arms we're taken,
in the same way; then came the tearing off
great stripes of flesh from the body-and crop
pingof the nose and ears, disemboweling, and
last, decapitation. During all this torture, it is
said that no word of complaint, no look or ex-
preston of the agony they were suffering,
escaped from any Of these poor wretches, a trait
| Of character which strikingly assimilates Mon
gols with the American Indians

Exploaion Of the Steamer Reindeer.

~ Hlt
We get the, following particulars of the ex-
plosion on board the steamer Reindeer, at
Carrollton, Ind, on the 18th, from the clerk
of the steamer Belle Sheridan:
On the 18th inst, at about 10 o'clock P. NJ. !,
as the Reindeer, Capt. Montgomery, was round
ing off from Carrollton, she became antangled
with a canal boat, which careened her very
much on one side, thereby causing the water to
run from one of the boilers to the others and
this caused two Of the fues to collapse, spread
ing death and destruction fore and aft Nearly
all those on deck, both forward and aft the
boilers, were severely and dangerously scalded
The mate, David Mullen, was struck on the
head by piece of iron and instantly killed
Frederick Ludwig, second engineer, was badly
scalded
Immediately after the explosion the bell was
rung, and the steamer Europa came to her as
sistance, in attempting which she was consider
ably injured. The Magnolia also went along
side and towed the i'll fated vessel to Hawes-
vile. The officers, with the exception Of the
mate and engineer, escaped, and none of the
cabin passengers were hurt, except Samuel L.
Hyatt, Of st. Louis, who was scalded.
There were two families on deck, who were
nearly all destroyed Since the catastrophe,

of White river, Arkansas 1t is far more
important river than we had ever supposed it
to be. Frequently, of late, we had observed
in the Memphis papers, such notices as assured
us that the commerce on the White river was
very considerable, but it surprised us to learn
that the river itself is SO great. 1t has just
been the scene of dreadful steamboat aeei-

BATHING AT LMA-0n the following morn

amused at witnessing the singular mode adopted
by the ladies for the enjoyment Of 3 water ex-
cursion. The bathing men are Indians, very
stout and robust, who being Invested Of every
species of covering, except pair of drawers,
took to the water, each carrying lady upon
his shoulders. The men strike out to swim
and do so without inconveniencing the ladies,
who float horizontally on the surface of ths
water. In this way they are carried for mile
or more, and appear to enjoy this novel mode
of locomotion extremely. EBonelli's Travels IL
