VOLUME Kill.

son, it is really painful for me to see how little
you understand your duties towards your superiors
in rank and how much you are in want OF that
feeling Of respect which those men, whose hair has
turned white in the service of their country have
a right to demand from you. Do you know that
these men by whom you wish to be honored,
ought first to be honored by you! For tits to them,
and to them alone, that your father owes his
crown and his life; and it is their fidelity, their
zeal and their loyalty, By which you also will be
enabled to ascend tile throne, and to occupy it
with glory. Therefore humble yourself (ineinng
his head with his hand) before these men, and do
not forget that you greatly hattered by any re-
mark Of respect and devotion they may please TO
show you. Your conduct shows that yon are still
too young for the epaulettes conferred upon you,
and must again deprive you Of them. They will
not be restored to you until you have shown, by
your future behavior, that you are able TO wear
them with honor
Thus the unfortunate Prince found himself sec
ond time, deprived Of those gittering epanettes,
Of which he had felt so proud. With regard to
Nicholas, who had taken upon himself the beau
1'dte in this performance, we regret only that he
did not resort to some more novel expedient for
displaying his dramatic powers, for even before an
infatuated court audience the same comedy twice
played, must necessarily lose its effect.

He was about ten twelve years of age, and had

father had evidently been shot while sitting in the
tent, and is supposed that he must have been the
first victim. Portions Of some of the bodies were
cut away, and from their decayed appearance the
hunter concluded that the murders had been per-

Such was the man whom Nicholas selected to

Alexander was enchanted with his new tutor. The

the rough but honest soldier. And if the pupil
was satisfied with the master, the master had no

hospitabie roof Of the Browns Hotel.
Biloxi is destined to be quite place at no dis.

cargo of spar and other timber for Liverpool
This is the thirty-sxth large class ship that has
loaded at Ship Island within the last three years.
all for foreign ports, and nine of them for Mel
bourne, Australia. / understand that there is a
chartered company making arrangements to fur
ns carg0es of cotton for several large class ships
this winter from New Orleans at a cost of about
one-half the port charges at New Orleans. If this
enterprise should prove successful will not have
very great tendency to affect the commerce of
onr city, w
had the honor of being an invited guest TO wit
ness the target shooting of the Biloxi Rifle Guards
on the birthday Of glorious and heretofore
happy independence. The Guards are commanded
by Capt. John D. Howard, who is all over a mill
tary man, having served as an officer i'll the war
of Mexico in the Mississippi regiment.
The prizes consisted of three medals = gold,
silver and sliin. The first prize was won by pr
yate Parham, the second by sergeant Holiey, and
the leather medal by orderly Andrews. The first
prize was presented by private HOLIDAY, of your
own Continentals, who in very appropriate
speech eomplimented the Sharp shooter. The
second prize was presented by Lieutenant Prime,
U. 5. A., of Ship Island Fort. The Lieutenant's
remarks on delivering it to the winner were well
received. The third and last prize was presented
in manner combining dignity and merriment by
Mai. Haeck, who is also connected with the Fort
at Ship Island; and the good natured Orderly re-
eeived it like true soldier brave and made
happy response.
The company is well drilled, and would throw
some of city military in the shade. Capt.
Howard is good disciplinarian, and reminds me
of the lamented Gen. Worth when drill officer at
West Point, where this honbre felt his kindness
off duty, and his severity on duty.
The winding-up was a grand ball at the Bacie-
lors Hotel 1t was we'll attended, and everything
went of well. SSAP BEANS.

trich amounts generally to from thirty to forty
eggs. Sometimes several couples unite to hatch
in partnership, in which case large hollow is dug

pair Of birds, the others ranging themselves around
at regular distances. When the eggs have all been
laid, they are pushed over toward the middle nest,
but not mixed and while the eldest bird ia occu-
pied in Matching, the others sit around in the places
where the eggs belonging to them were laid re-
spectively. These associations are composed of
birds OF the same family-the old ones in the cen
ter of the circle being the parents of the others
but the social system is only resorted to in places
where herbage is very abundant. AS many as 8
hundred and fifty eggs have been found in one of
