The Origin Of London.

The antiquity Of the city of Lo:4don is
undenable. 1t was city of some note
from the date of earlier historic periods
A collection of houses, not perhaps magnif-
iceht, stood on the little hills above the
Thames, near Feet river, and on both banks
of Wallbrook, when the Romans, after in
vading the island, forced their way through
Kent irio Surrey, and probably crossed
into Middlesex. This town or village had
been the capital city of powerful British
prince, more than equivalent to any of the
towns visited by DR.. Livingstone in his
remarkable tower through the central re-
gions of central Africa, and we trust that it
was more moral city than the metropolis
of the King of Dahomey. Our ancestors
should have more credit for civilization than
is given them by the historians of their in
vaders. Roman writers were not interested
in producing the character Of the nations
whom their soldiers conquered, in very
bright colors, and their testimony should be
carefully investigated with the light Of such
incidental circumstances, as writers let out
occasionally without considering the results
The Britons who resis ed the invasion Of
the Romans were numerous people, for
they could not otherwise have brought nu-
merous armies in the field, or giveh the an
tagonists so much trouble as the Romans
experienced in beating them. The natives
Of the islands then possessed good arms,
but the bucklcr, spear, and sword imply a
certain degree of progress in the mechanic
cal arts. Chariots Of war, formidably ac-
coutered, we're among them, and the exist
ance of these implements infer workmen
and their manufcture. Scythes for the
chariot-poles implied the erection Of forges.
and the training of blacksmiihs and cutters.
Therefore, the Britons of the Roman period
may have appeared barbarians to the poll
ished Italians, but we need not think Of
them as savages, precisely resembling, in all
but color, some of DR.. Livingstone's friends.
We know that they had mines and IRON
works and they must have had artisans in
wood, and they had some agricultural knowl-
edge, or they could not have been support.
ed in great numbers, London in their
time may have been pleasant place and
important town.

Charge Of Murat at EyIau.
BY J. T. uEADLEY.

1t is at Eylau that Murat always appears
in his most terrible aspect. This battle
tonight in mid winter, in 1907, was the mosi
important and bloody one tha, had Ile,, oc-
CURED. France aud Russia had never be-
fore opposed such strength TO each other
and compt te victory on either side would
have settled :he fate OF Europe; i;onap ,r;e

that was all no victory was eysr 20 Ike -

The fi,ld Of Eylau was coycrd with

over it were fiozen insutiici-n;iy hard To

The Chameleon.

An officer in Africa thus writes of the
habits of this ANIMAL
Gas some Of the habits of the chameleon
may not be generally known, l will take
liberty of mentioning few of them, which
came under my own observation. One
morning, on my return from parade, saw,
close to my own tent, very rare cllamele-
on, hanging on bush. ! Immediately Sc
cured him, and provided box for him to
repose in. In the course of few DAYS he
became quite familiar, and having seen
them before, knew low to gain his affec-
tions, which, in the first place, was done by
feeding him well, in the next place, by
scratching his back with feather used
to put him on my table at breakfast, and in
the course of very few minutes, ! have
seen him devour at least fifty flies, catching
them in the most dexterous manner with
his long slimy tong1e-nor does he ever
move from his position, but so sure as an
unfortunate fly comes in reach, SO sure he
is caught, and with the rapidity Of thought.
In the forenoon always gave him large
slice of bread, which he devoured, and he
generally supped on as many flies as he
could manage to entrap, setting at defiance
the .noble Hamlct's' theory Of the chame.
Icons death. Promises would not have
suited him at all, beng, at the end of each
day. considerably more like crammed ca
pom than an air-ied chameleon. 1t is not
true that this animal will change color ac-
cording to what he is put on; but he will
change shade according as he is pleased or
displeased. His general hue Is a bright
green, with small gold spots over his body
he remains at this shade when he is highly
pleased by being in the sun, or being fed,
or scratched, which he delights ia. When
hungry-and he is very easily made So
his hue changes to dusky green, almost
black. and the gold spots are not to be seen.
but never could perceive any other color
on his body but green in variety Of shades
the spots enlarge very much when he is in
good humor-so much, indeed. as to give a
yellow tinge to the upper part of the ani-
NAL; but in general they are merely little
yellow spots here and there, on the back and
sides.

FIRING UPON FRIENDS.
Among the disasters of the day were
two very serious ones from the firing into
each other, by mistake, of our regiments.
The 9Th New York Regiment was badly
cut up thus, by either the 14th or 25lh
Regiments of the same State. The Goth
New York Regiment had one company de-
stroyed almost to man by a fire from our
forces.
Unfortunate as were these disasters to
US, they were far more than counterbal-
anccd by the heavy fire poured into the
Secessionists by their own batteries at va
rious times during the day.
BRAVE coLoNELs.
just as the Federal troops were about
to retreat, Col. Heitzelman rode up to
where the Zouaves were, and asked them
to follow him, exclaiming, "My brave Zou-
aves, you done WE'LL" when one of them re
piled, "Heitzelman, you are q brave man,
and We would follow you as soon as any
man, but we will not be cut up this way.
We have seen brave Colonel but not a
Generalw
SECESSION BARBARfTIEs.
We have already heard of hundred
instances of the most uurelenting barbara
ties-shown towards the Federal troops
indeed, one of the rebel prisoners captured
by the New York list Regiment, states
that they had positive orders to show no
quarter to any one. A large number of
our wounded soldiers were run through
with bayonets as they lay bleeding on the
field of battle-and particularly was this
done to the Fire Zouaves, on whom they,
seemed to have particular spite. We
have heard Of many other instances in
which ambulances containing wounded men
were fired upon.
CITIZENS IN THE FIGHT.
Capt. William G. Moore, Of this city,
was on the ground as a spectator, and in
the hottest of the fight, was observed to
60 to the body of soldier, who had just
been shot down, and undo his accoutre-
ments and take his musket, with which he
went into the ranks of the Zouaves, and
fought as bard as any on the field until
the panic. Several other citizens were OBJ.
served, with other regiments, fighting as
hard as any of the soldiers.
NEW YORK sHTY-NINTH.
Lieut.. Col. Haggerty, of the New York
Sixty-ninth, is believed to have been the
first man killed. He was good officer
and brave man. When this regiment
went into action, they threw away their
coats, and some of them their shoes so as
to be unencumbered. As they charged
on the enemy, everything gave way before
them. They have covered themselves with
glory.
DRUMMER BOY KILLED.
A poor little drummer boy was cut COM
pletely in two by canister shot, which
struck him just under the arms. A pierc-
