True Chiya.ry.

1t was during the Swedish war Of the
seventeenth century that after battle in
which the enemy had been worstel, a
burgher of Flemsburg was about TO re-
fresh himself with a draught of beer from
a small wooden bottle, when he heard
the call of wounded Swede, who fixed
his longing eyes on the beverage, and
exclaimed, q am thirsty, give me a
drink" Now the burgher of Flemsburg
was kind man, and, though he suffered
himself, he replied at once, Thy need
is greater than mine" and, kneeling
down beside the wounded soldier, he
poured the liquor into his mouth. But
the treachoyous Swede, taking advantage
Of the uaarmed state of his benefactor,
fred his pistol as he bent down, wound
ing him in the shoulder.
Then the burgher sprang upon his
legs, and, indignant, exclaimed, Ras,
cal, l would have befrended you, and
YOU would murder me in return; now
viii punish you. would have given
you the whole bottle, but you shall only
have half" and drinking off one hal

envy. When the news of this action
came to the ears Of King Frederick III
he ordered the burgher into his presence
and asked, why did you not kill tho

A Russian Railroad.

The St. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Press gives some inter
esting reference 10 the railroad from St.
Petersburg to Moscow, built by Winans,
Harrison d. Co., who have for twelve
years successfully conducted the road,
and are now closing their business pre-
paratory to leaving Russia. This rail
road, the result of American enterprise
and Russian power, is unquestionably
the finest in the world. 1t is single
machine, perfect in all its parts, and un-
der the management of Winans IL Co.
has been running like a Waltham watch.
During the twelve years Of its operation,
not single person has been injured.
The locomotives are made exactly alike,
so that any part of one fits all the others;
the stations are established at regular
distances every verst of the track is
guarded night and day, and the precau
lions are SO complete that it seems i'm
possible for human ingenuity 10 devise
an improvement.

OLD BEN BuTLER.-There is rumor
afloat that Ben Butler is to be ordered
home from New Orleans, and that Gen.
Dix is to take bis place. We Can hard
ly credit the story, and yet the manage
ment Of our military affairs is SO uucer-
tain that we OF to-day know not what
the morrow may bring forth. If it is
claimed that Gen. Butler has been too
severe, the country will like to know
wherein. He hung Mumford for insult
ing the old flag. Gen. Dix will never
do less if he maintains the integrity he
possessed when he commanded that any
man who pulled down that flag be shot
in his tracks. If it is severity that is
making the trouble, we hardly think
much will DO gained by the change.
A few days will determine the ques-
ton. 1t may be that the change is not
inimical to the General, but that it is to
take place in order 20 put him in still
more important position.
