ALLIES AND ENEMIES A soldier writes from
the camp to England as follows:
"Our soldiers have to deal in unknown Ian
guages, with French, Italians and Greeks, and
numberless are the rows which spring up in
consequence. No pen, no painting, could give
the faintest idea of the state of the streets to-
wards evening, when the pickets begin their
march to clear the men off to their camps. The
fraternity established between the French and
English troops becomes every day more affec-
tomato, and individual friendships are spring
ing up, all the closer, perhaps, for squabble
now and then, which ends in the old redinte-
CRATIC amoris. A huge Highlander, last Mon
day, walked through crowd Of drunken Chas-
seurs, knocked them down like nine pins, be-
cause one of them had slapped his cheek, and
was only just stopped in time to prevent the
affair becoming serious, by an officer who hap
pened to be present Later in the day, a
gigantic Irishman, with his coatee off, his eyes
staring out Of his head, and an oak paling in his
hand, went dancing through the principal mar
ket place, and for some imaginary offence COM
menced an attack on Turks, French and Greeks
Unfortunately, whom he routed with signal
discontinue, first breaking sword bayonet
which soldier drew to stop his vagaries he
then walked into cafe where he broke up the
conUersasiome of the place very rudely, and
finished by running muck through whole
mob Of assailants, and getting off through the
gate into the fields. In squabble last week 9
Frenchman ran Turk through the body and
killed him on the spot. He has not been discov.

was among the most Interesting efforts Of his
powerful talent When he called his witnesses,
such stream Of facts, that could not have been
colored for the purpose, flowed in full conviction
of the prisoner, insanity, that, by Lord Ken
yon's direction, and Mr.. Attorney Generals en-
tire concurrence, the jury, without retiring,
recorded verdict Of Not guilty. He was Of
course taken proper care of for his life
: s,The dreadful wounds which he had re-
.ceiyed in the service had injured the brain, anf
produced, at various times, very alarming re-
suits. When not in the parox ysm of his disor-
der, the man gentle, kind and Industrious; but
he had tried tobayonet the preserver of his life
in 1876, and attempted to murder his infant
child but two days before his attack upon the
person Of the King Yet of his child he was
dotingly fond, and he never mentioned His Maj
esty without blessings, because 1t was from his
bounty he derived his pension.
81 wish to make but one reflection upon this
business, and / could have desired it to come
with all the authority Of the seat Of Justice
1t is this; that when the relatives of persons
acting in the manner of Hadfeld, pass over the
rawlings or the violence of their 1unacy, satisfied
with an interval Of calmness, glimpse of re-
turning reason, and allow such unhappy beings
to be the actual masters of their conduct, they
incur fearful responsibility indeed before God
and man. 1t is not matter for their speeula-
ton or indulgence-they are bound to ask the
judgment land the aid Of a branch Of the pro-
fession Of the highest Importance in society, and
whose studies lie in that region of our struc-
ture, which, all, all of it sfearfuliy and wonder
fully made is there more peculiarly wonderful
| and to feared.
alt is hardly of consequence to inquire the
motive that frenzy assigns for an act 80 afro
| cious; but Hadfeld was possessed with an OPT
MON that it was proper he himself should die.
| Suicide, MS he conceived, would rob him Of
decent burial; he therefore, without intending
the death of the King, fred into his box, know
ing that the deliberate attempt alone was suffi-
Gent to bring about that death, which he per-
suaded himself was necessary to society. Before
the exact state of the man could be known, (for
the Attorney General did not know it even upon
the trial. the King, as I heard, entertained
some notions Of systematic violence; because
he said, If with my family ! cannot enjoy my
amusements in the midst Of my people, let them
take my life, for existence is not worth holding
upon such conditions"

1.-The London Times, in the course of recent
editorial review Of the various naval invasions
chronioled in the worlds history, admits that
F." the success of the British force that dashed
up the Potomac, landed, and, after quick
march, destroyed Washington, and then speedily
beat retreat, can hardly be considered an
affair of legitimate warfare, being little more
than a piratical and fruitless surprise on an
unarmed and unsuspecting population" This
is a noteworthy confession.

The Nova Scotia golfers are amazed at the
rapid increase of coal produced in the United
States. 1t is said our Pennsylvania mines sent
to market last year about one hundred tons Of
coal for each chaldron shipped from the Nova
Scotia mines. Nay, more, the annual increase
of the production of coal in Pennsylvania is
about eight times greater than the total yield
of coal in Nova Scotia. But then the mines Of
Pennsylvania are wrought by keen sighted and
enterprising individuals, or by rival and COM
peting companies.

TIE FIL1AL Love OF AN INDIANA cores
pondent of the Stockton Journal, writing from
Don Pedras Bar, Toulumne county, Cal, relates
the following touching incident which exhibit in
q strong degree the Indian
GA few days since an accident occurred here.
A party Of Indians, having struck good lead,
commenced, in imitation of their white brethren,
excavating the bank, but had not proceeded
very far when, from their ignorance of this
mode of mining, not having left sufficient sup
ports. the upper part Of the bank caved in, and
two men of their number were killed, and q
little girl very badly crushed. The child was
properly cared for by the American miners in
the vicinity, and the remains Of the victims were
attended to by their Indian friends, who built a
funeral pyre, while all hands, white, red or
black, Europeans, Africans, Chinese, Kanakas
and Indians, who mustered to attend the fiesta,
And now occurred an instance of devotion un-
looked for among a race who stand SO low in the
scale of humanity as the poor Cawillos (Ka-we-
gas. When the flames were at the height, a
son of one of the objects of those funeral rites,
in an agony of grief, rushed into the blazing
pile, to take one last fond embrace Of his old
father, and was with difficulty rescued by the
bystanders. .
