In one Of the small cities Of Massachu

Scene at "a Cavalry Review.

Here is a sketch of a thrilling scene
which recently occurred at in immense
cavalry review in Vienna, Austria:
There was beautiful instance Of fine
horsemanship displayed at a late review
held at Vienna, upon the occasion of the
fifteenth anniversary OF the establish
ment of the military order of the Maria
Theresa, when some thirty thousand cav
airy were in line. A little child in the
front row of the spectators, becoming
frightened, rushed forward just as a
squadron of hussars were charging at full
ti,t-swooping down with maddening ye-
locity, nay, almost on the child.
Terror paralyzed alike the spectators
and the mother of the child, while the
lovely and amiable Empress almost faint
cd with horror, for the child's destruction
seemed inevitable. The little one was
almost under tie horses feet-another
instant would have sealed It's doom--when
a hussar, without lessening his speed or
loosening bis hold, threw himself along
the horses neck, and Selling the child,
placed it in safety in front OF his saddle,
without so much as changing the pace or
breaking the alignment in the least.
A hundred thousand voices hailed with
pride and JOY the deed, while two voices
could but sob their gratitude the one a
mothers, the other that Of her symra-
thlsing and beloved Empress. A proud
moment that must have been for the hus-
sar when MS Emperor, taking the enam-
eled cross of merit, attached ii to his
breast--a proud moment alike for the
sovereign and The man

Why PoTAToEs BURsT IN BoIIIEG.-
The composition of the potato is about
seventy five per cent water, aud twenty
five per cent. OF starch. In structure il
is net work of cells, each one contain
ing small particles of starch floating in a
walery fluid. In boiling a good ripe po-
la,o tie starch will absorb all this liquid,
aud sweIls even to bursting; but il the
starch be deficient the liquid will remain
il excess, and We term il watery. Pota
toes detsriorate in spring, because the
young sprout withdiaws the starch for
It's own nourishment.

The correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Ship Island, says:
"Since the occupation Of Ship Island,
by the Connecticut 9th and Massachusetts,
Goth, under Gen. Phelps, the troops
have been actively employed in improv-
ing the defences of the island, and MAX
ing preparations for moving over to the
main land as soon as the main army,
under Gen. Butler, arrives. The NOV
ing of large bodies of men, drilling troops,
landing munitions of war, building
warves, and other necessary works, and
the vast accumulation of army appurten-
ances, has given lively appearance Of
affairs on this narrow, low, sandy island
The officers and men are in high spirits,
although some of them have reason to
regret the loss of their horses on ship
board.
