An immense number of prisoners have been
committed in the Chinese seas. A hundred

Among the captures by the pirates was the
Chi)ian bark Caldern, which left Hong Kong on

WoMANs LAUGH.-A woman has no natural
grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh 1t
is like the sound of flutes on the water. 1t
leaps from the heart in clear, sparkling rill;
and the heart that hears it feels as if bathed in
the cool. exhilarating spring Have you ever
pursued an unseen fugitive through trees led on
by her fairy laugh, now here, now there, now
lost, now found We have. And we are pur-
suing that wandering voice to this day. Some
times it comes to US in the midst of care or sor-
row, or irksome business; and then we ,urn
away and listen, and hear it ringing through the
room like silver bell, with power to scare
away the i'll spirits of the wind. How much
we owe to that sweet laugh! 1t turns the prose
of our life into poetry, it filings showers of sun
shine over the darksome wood in which we are
travelling it touches with light even our sleep,
which is no more the image of death, but is
consumed with dreams that are the shadows of
immortalitv

WHAT IS A SNoB -" A snob is that man or
woman who is always pretending before the
world to something better-especially richer or
more fashionable-tfan they are. 1t is one who
thinks his own position in life contemplate, and
is always yearning and striving to force himself
into one above, without the education or char
acteristics which belong to it; one who Looks
down upon, despises, and overrides his inferi-
ors, or even equals of his own standing, and is
ever ready to worship, fawn upon and Hatter a
rich or titled man, not because he is good
man, wise man, or Christian man but be-
cause he has the luck to be rich OF consequent

V The Circassians never leave the corpses
OF their brothers on the field of battle or in the
hands OF the enemy. They prefer to give up
victory rather than abandon their dead and they
come to demand them of the Russians. One
day Gen. ReioHski, who commanded on the right
Hank, restored them their fallen countrymen,
saying, that he did not wage against the
dead" The Circassians answered that they
prayed to God he would not leave his body
without burial if he ever fell in battle.'' The
Russians also carry off their dead when they
can do it. The Cossacks especially show them
selves scrupulous in paying the last duties to
their brothers killed in the fight.

FERyENT PRAYER AvAILETH MUcH.-Inas-
much as our Legislature has broken the faith of
the State with many of her creditors, to the
amount of $l50,0O0 and inasmuch, further
more, the Assembly has elected Mormon
Chaplain, therefore we would suggest that du-
ring the continuance of the present legislative
session, the Ministers of the varioas Christian
Churches in the State be requested, every Sab
bath morning, to commence divine service with
the following prayer, recently delivered before
the Indiana Legisature,by the Chaplain thereof
"And, 0 Lord have mercy on our legis ators
Be with them and bless them. even if they
know thee not. Spare their lives and teach them
to glorify thy name Hasten them to their homes,
where they may direct their attention to good
works and general usefulness among their fami-
lies and neighbors. May the people resolve to
keep them there, and in future elect men of
sound morals and temperate habits, so that good
may hereafter result from legislation. Save the
good people of the State from the disgrace
which must follow if the same should come
here to make laws. Hear u.s. Lord, and grant
our prayer Amen.

SroRMiNG OF A CIrY.-When a city is taken
by storm, in military phrase. and in accordance
with the usages of war, it is "giren up to the
| soldiery. What this means will be apparent
from the frightful picture Of Badajos, as it ap-
peared ON the night after it had been carried by
the Allies, under Wellington, April 6. 1912.
Says an English officer, who participated in the
assault:
" 1t was nearly dusk, and the few hours while
| slept had made fearful change in the condi-
ton and temper Of the soldiery. In the morn
ing they were obedient to their officers and
preserved the sembance Of subordinaton; now
tney We're In a state OF furious intoxicaton
discipline was forgotten. and the splendid troops
OF yesterday had become fierce and sanguna-
ry rabbie, dead to every touch of human feeling
and filled with every demoniac passion that can
brutallze the man. The city was in terrible
confusion, and on every side horrible tokens of
military license met the eye.
One street. as approached the castle, was
almost choked up with broken furniture for the
houses had been Quilted from the cellar to the
garret. the partitions torn down, and even the
beds ripped up and scattered to the winds in the
hope that gold may be found concealed. A con-
vent at the end OF the strada of ST. John was in
flames and saw more than one wretched nun
in the arms OF drunken soldier.
dItucI ou tue CONFUSION seemed greater.
Brandy and wine casks were rolled out before
the stores some were fall. some half drunk
out, but more STAYED in in mere wantonness,
and the liquors running through the kennel
Many narrowing scream saluted the ear Of the
passer-by; many female supplcation was
heard asking in vain for mercy. How could it
be otherwise when it is remembered that twen-
ty thousand furious and licentious madmen were
loosed upon immense population, among
which many of the loveliest women upon earth
might be found? All within that devoted city
was at the disposal of an infuriated army over
whom, for the tme control was lost. aided by
an infamous collection of camp-followers, who
were, if possible, more sanguinary and pitiless
even than those who had survived the storm
:" 1t is useless to dwell upon scene from
which the heart revolts. Few females in this
beautiful town were saved that night from in
suit. The noblest and the bsggar-the nun and
the wife and daughter of the artisan-youth and
age, all were involved in general ruin. None
were respected, and consequently few escaped.
The madness of those desperate brigands was
variously exhibited some fired through doors
and windows; others at church bells; many at
the wretched inhabitants as they fled into the
streets to escape the bayonets of the savages,
who were demolishing their property within
doors; while some wretches. as if blood had
not flowed in sufficient torrents already, shot
from the windows their own companions as
they staggered on below. What chances had
the miserable inhabitants of escaping death,
when more than one officer perished by the bull
let's and bayonets of the very men whom few
hours before he had led to the ASSAULT"
