THE LAST VICTIM
Oh THE SCOTTISH MAIDEN,
- CONCLUDED.


Hamilton stood transfxed, while his
boiling blood gradually subsided, and
his passion cooled in the presence of
death. The whole thing had taken
place so suddenly, that he could hardly
believe the living, breathing man he had
been talking to SO amicably but few
moments before, was lying there mur-
dered by his own hand. But suddenly
as he gazed, he felt his flesh creep with
strange horror, as he saw the soulless
eyes Of the blind maiden upturned to-
wards him as she knclt on the ground
by her dead father, towards whom she
had crept with step SO stealthy that
he had not heard her. Hamilton drew
back, shuddering. from the liked stare,
so dreadful seemed the expression Of
hate on her white, CHASTITY face; but as
he receded, she crept towards him on
her knees, aud laid her hand, which she
had stepped in her fathers blood, on
his, till it bore the same red stain, aud
said, in low stifed voice: "You have
murdered him, and you shall die for it.
None saw the murder, for my blind eyes
saw it not; but think not to escape; the
vengeance of Heaven will track you out
one day." Then finging up her arms
to heaven, she exclaimed, "My father,
o, my fatherl'" and fell upon the corpse
with a shrek so wild and piercing, that
Hamilton felt as if it must have rung
upon the ears of every person in the
town, and reached even through the
massive walls of Inyerary Castle.
That cry recalled him to himself; he
must escape right speedily, or another
moment would see him surrounded by
those whom it must rouse; the instinct
of self-preservation at once took the
place of every other feeling, and with
one bound he darted TO the outer door,
opened it, rushed 70 the stable, mounted
his horse without saddle or bride, and
the Gathering of his horses feet, as he
galloped away, was all that the inhabit-
ants heard Of him as they rushed to the
inn, whence the blind girls shrieks
were still heard echoing.
Hamilton never slackened his pace
till he had laid ten miles between him
and Inverary. In those days, the course
of Justice was as stern as it was sum.

quite fearful adventure during late
visit to the Falls of St. Anthony
They were crossing the Suspension
Bridge, just above the Falls, in a car
riage with two other gentlemen, and
had stopped on the center of the struc-
ture to gaze upon the cataract. While
thus engaged, horse and buggy was
driven toward them from the rear

to pass, commenced plunging, and for
moment it seemed as if the whole
would be precipitated together into the
torrent below, and carried over the
Falls. Finally one Of the fore feet of
the horse became fastened in the rear of
the carriage, when Messrs. Weasner and
Glenn both seized the animal by the

A Panic and its Ludicrous Results.
Mr. Raymond, Of the New York Times,
gives a ludicrous account of panic
which occurred in the battle of Solferi-
no, by which a whole reserve corps
d'armee of the French ran back pell
nell, horse, foot and Dragons, Turcos
and Zouaves, to Brescia, fifteen miles,
never stopping to regard tie trains of
wounded men on litters, and leaving a
wounded French general crying out
Justify the reward he would pay for some
swift means of conveyance to a place
Of safety. The whole panic was caused
by five Austrians who, finding their re-
treat cut off, rode rapidly into the vii.
lage to surrender themselves. The sea-
red inhabitants cried out, "the Hustri-
ans are coming" and ran for their lives
the soldiers engaged in carrying the
wounded dropped their labors and ran
also, and the whole corps d'armeo fol.
lowed their example, and never stopped
till they reached the fortified city of
Brescia. Mr.. Raymond ran too, and
his associate correspondent thus refers
to the fact:
"The regular rendezvous Of our COM
pany had been broken up by the escap.
ade at Brescia, yet | was fortunate
enough to find Mr.. Raymond and the
Judge at a hotel in Montechiaro, where
we had already stopped, four miles west
of Castiglione. They, too, it appears,
had had fright, to which mine was a
trife-for 1 was within fortified city,
while theirs was in the open field. Their
retreat from the Austrians will stand as
one of the most memorable on record
A run of ten miles on foot, through by
roads, with one eye continually over
the shoulder to catch the first glimpse
of the Austrian sabres, is no common
gymnastic feat, especially for gentlemen
only accustomed to the exercise of q
quiet promenade on Broadway. The
Judge took refuge for his courage in
some of the memorable retreats of an.
cient times over the same ground. The
Governor was sure that it was no dis.
honor for two disarmed men to run ten
miles, when whole corps d'armee ran
twenty. We had hearty laugh ovei
this singular episode of the battle of
Solferino, and then started for the scene
of the late action.

A new chess wonder has just come to
Paris, Mr. Ignatz Kolisch, youth tf
twonty-one, from Montevideo, (South
America.) He has played five games
with Harwitz, winning three, losing one
and drawing one. AS in his match with
Morphy, Harwitz refuses to play any
more, under various frivolous pretexts.
Kolisch also played six games with De
REVERE, winning four. He is already
esteemed a great player, inferior only
to Morphy, and he regrets bitterly not
having reached Paris in time to have
had an encounter with that cxtraordi-
nary genius. Mr.. Kolisch will perhaps

The Emperor Napoleon, says the
Boston Transcript, has his own way of
dealing with difficulties, whether social.
municipal, or international--as may be
seen by his treatment of the gas compa-
nies of his capital. Finding, four or
five years ago, that the Parisians COM
planned of the character and price of
the gas which was served to them, he
caused some gas-works to be built in
the grounds of the palace at st. Cloud.
and fitted with the necessary apparatus
for the manufacture of that important
article, Then, under his own superin
tendence, resisted by several eminent
chemists and scientific men, he caused
experiments in the manufacture of gas
from all the various materials, from the
cheapest to the dearest, to be made
When he had tried the different kinds
in the palace, and had figured up the
cost to his satisfaction, he invited the d.
rectors of the Partisan gas companies
to visit st. Cloud and inspect the result
of his experiments. The effect in Paris
was most satisfactory, The people have
now no cause to complain of their gas,
which costs them but about one-half
what it did when the Imperial jack of
all-trades commenced gas making.
