A THRILLING SCENE AT REVIEW.
There was a beautiful instance of
fine horsmanship displayed at late re-
view held at Vienna, upon the occas-
ION Of the 50th anniversary of the milf
tary order Of Maria Theresa, when
some 10000 cavalry were in line. A
little child in the front row OF the spec
tators, becoming frightened, rushed
forward Just as squadron Of hussars
were charging at fnll tilt, swooping
down with maddening velocity, nav,
almost on the child. Terror paralyzed
alike the spectators and the mother of
the child, while the lovely and amiable
I3npress almost. tainted with horror.
for the child's destruction seemed IN
eritable. The little one was almost un-
der the horses feet-an ether instant
would have settled his doom-when a
hnssar, without lessening his speed or
loosening bis hold, threw himself along
his horses neck, and seizing the child,
placed him IN safety in front of his sad
die, without SO mach as changing the
pace or breaking the alignment in the
least. i A hundred thousand voices hail
ed with pride and JOY the deed.
whilestwo voices could but sob their

from Il book entitled "FiSher's River

is the story Of q man named Oliver

they put him into an empty OF. barrel
