Battle of Horses.


Two of the Spanish regiments which had
been quartered in Funen were cavalry, mounted
on fine black long-tailed Andalusian horses.
1t was impracticable to bring off these horses,
about HOO in number-and Romano was not
a man who could order them to be destroyed.
He was fond of horses himself and knew that
every man was; attached to the beast which
had carried him so far and so faithfully. Their
brides were therefore taken off and they were
turned loose upon the beach. A scene ensucd,
such as probably never before was witnessed.
They were sensible that they were no longer
under any restraint Of human power. A gen
eral conflict ensued, in which, retaining the dis
cipline they had learned, they charged each
other in squadrons of ten Or twelve together,
then engaged, striking with their fore feet, and
biting and tearing each other with the most
ferocious rage, and tramping over those who
were beaten down, till the shore in the course
Of an hour was strewn with the dead and dis
abled. Part of them had been set free on
rising ground at distance; they no sooner
heard the roar Of battle than they came thun-
dering down over the intermediate hedges and
catching the contagious madness plunged into
the fight with equal fury. Sublime as the
scene was, it was too horrible to be long con-
templated, and Romano, in mercy, gave orders
to destroy them. But it was found too dam
gerous to attempt this, and after tho last boat
had quilted the beach, the few horses that re-
manned were seen still engaged in the dreadful
work of mutual destruction. [Southey's His
tory of the Peninsular War. +

Learning Grammar.

Mr.. Edator--I have been sendin' nv dater
Nancy to school to schoolmaster in this
nelghborhood. Last Friday I went over to
the school just to see how Nancy was gettin
along, and l sees things I didn't like by no
means. The schoolmaster was larnin her things
entirely out Of the line of eddycation, and as
think improper. l set while in Tie school
house and heard one class say ther lesson. They
was spellen, and thot spellen quite exceed
11ngy. Then cum Nancy's turn to say her
lesson. She said it very spry. I was shot! and
determined she should leave that school. /
nave heerd that grammer was an uncommon
tine study, but don't want eny more graner
about my house. The lesson that Nancy said
was nothing but the foolishest kind NV talk,
the ridicilest luy talk you ever seed. She got
up and the first word she said was, @ IT
.- love! 4
l looked rite at her hard for doin so impro-
per, but she went rite on and said:
Thou lowest, La !..,I.3ri
. He loves,
and reckon you never heerd such riggermy-
role in your life-love, love, love, and nothin
but love. She sed one time, i'
Ibid love. ,570rl
Ses /, "who did you love ?" Then the
scholars laffed, but wasn't to be put off and
| scd who did you love, Nancy? want to
know.who did you love?" The schoolmaster,
Mr.. McQuillister, put in and sed he wood ex-
plane when Nancy finished the lesson. This
sorter pacifed me and Nance went on with
awful love talk. 1t got wus and wus every
word. She sed, IT..
might, could or would love.
1 stopped her agin and sed I reckon I would
see about that and told her to walk out Of
that house. The schoolmaster tried to inter-
fere, but l wouldn't let him say word. He
sed 1 was fool and nockt him down and
made him holler in short order. / taukt the
strate thing to him. told him ide show him
how heede larn my dater gramer.
1 got the nabers together and we sent Mr..
McQuillister off in hurry, and I reckon tharl
be no more gran1cr techin in these parts soon.
If you know of any rather oldish man in your
legeen that doant teech gramer, we would be
glad if you would send him up, But in the
footure we will be keerful how we employ men.
Young schoolmasters won't do especially if
they teeches gramer. Its bad thing for morris.

A Londol, Fog.

Few persons can form any idea Of the den
sity of a London fog from what they OCCASION
ally see in this country. On the 10Th and 10th
Of November dense fog prevailed in London
and its vicinity, during which steamboats, and
o1nnibuses ceased to run, hacks and cabs got
on the sidewalks, numbers of persons walked
over the wharves into the Thames and were
drowned; similar accidents took place in the
locks and basins of several docks, with many
fatal results persons were stopped and robbed
in the streets with impunity, and several shops
were plundered in day time without posi-
bility Of efficient interference by the police, so
dense was the misty pail that oyerspread the
monster city.

Everyday Facts In Science.

If tallow candle be placed in gun, and
shot at door, it will go through without sus-
tanning any injury and if musket-ball be
fred into water, it will not only rebound, but
be fattened, as if fired against hard substance.
A musket- ball may be fired through pane Of
glass, making the hole the size of the ball,
without cracking the glass ; if the glass be sus-
pended by thread, it will make no difference,
and the thread will not even vibrate. In the
Arctic regions, when the thermometer is be-
low zero, persons can converse more than a
mile distant DR.. Jameson asserts that he
heard every word Of o sermon ut the distance
of two miles. .r '5t
