shoulder, so that the blood began to flow,
which aroused 9 cheer from the Texans
looking on, but at the same moment the
former received back stroke, which cut
through the sleeve aud flesh Of his. left
arm. The Texan now backed his horse
like lightning, and his fsllow-tFoopers
rushed forward to look at his wound /;
but without panying any heed to his
hurt he again dashed at his opponent and
made lungs at his breast. The dra-
gOOn parried it with great deztsrity, and
at the same time let fly quartz, which
caused slashing wound in the Texans
back. The latter spurred on his horss
to a little distance, and, before I could
take means to prevent the cOWsrdly act,
he took out pistol and deliberately shot
the brave dragoon, who fell dead from his
saddle. The bullet had entered just be-
low the region Of the heart.
Much grieved at his fate, 1 ordered a
grave to be dug to receive the remains Of
the brave German trooper. We buried
him in his regimentals, with his trusty
sword upon his breast, and his pistol By
his side. This sad act having been per
formed, / sent for the Texan, and after
reprimanding him severely fOr his cow
ardly conduct, I ordered him to seek ser
vice in some other corps, telling him that
I could not think of allowing a fellow of
his stamp to remain in my regiment. The
Texan scOwled at me with his wild, cat
like eyes, and mutteriDg curse mounted
his horse and rode away.

The walking-Bird MOs.

The Moa, gigantic bird supposed to
have existed within the memory of the
present generation, in New Zealand, but
to be now extinct, it is said has recently
been seen. The following is an account
Of the circumstance and the bird
The Noa is walking, nOta flying bird,
supposed, from the numerous skeletons
which have been fonnd of it, to grow from
eight to nine feet high. 1t has hitherto
been believed to be extinct, though it
was known that within the memory of
men now living on the island, it had been
killed and eaten by the natives. It was
always hoped that in the unexplOred parts
of the island some lost specimens of this
nearly race might yet be found
alive; and now it seems that gold miner,
sitting by his campfire, saw one peering
at him from the edge of near hill. He
took it first to be a man, but presently
saw it gravely starting of. The track or
footprint Of this great bird showed
" three claws, and, about foot behind
that again of a spur" A reward of
twenty-five hundred dollars has been Of
fered for the bird, alive or dead and if
the minor told the truth, we may yet see
a living Moa-a member of a tribe once
sufficiently numerous in New Zealand to
be source of dread to the natives.

IDEAS OF LIBERTY.

The Constitution has some very &c
pecial guarantees on the Freedom OF
Speech and of tho press, and upon the
right Of the people pcaceably to assem-
HE, and to petition the Government
Cor redress Of grievances. but such
journalists rs those of the Philadelphia
Press do not seem to have read them -
for, saws the e.]itor:
THE New York World takes the ad-
vantage of the Presidential order Of
amnesty 10 rave very much in the style
f the Charleston Mercury"
Now the Press does not hold its
Freedom, Rights Of Liherty.u der any
'pr>silen;ial order of amnesty" hut
u~icr the Constitution that made Lin
c.ln President in spite of the people.
and that keeps him in power, too, des-
pite Of The people. The newspaper
press hasa better moral and political
right to speak freely than he has to be
PreSllent,- for, to the CO equal right
Of the Constitution for, both is the nat
urnl right # the press added.
The Philadelphia editor then says,
tand what adds to the signifcancy Of.
is ARTICLES his personal position in
Washington }
"Thr men who cantr,l politics in
New York, who elect governors by the
ail Of tayerns, liquor associations, the
Five Points, the prize rir z, and the
gambling shop the men who endeav-
nre5l to make New York seceie in
1876 \, ana who would gladly accomplish
the sane result now have a deeper
meaning in their purpose than the
frot(.v paragraphs Of their newspaper
organs. They mean mischief-to be
plain, they mean treasoa and, if We
have any regret at all in recording the
M rnaninitv Of the Administration in
closing the doors of Fort Lafayette, it
is that such lzen should 60 without the
punishment they so justly teser"e."
We understand all his,-and it is as
we'll to understand also. that January
1st., when Governor Seym our comes in
to the Executive chair, is white maa's
free day, az well as negro's, and Fort
Lafayette after that day will hold no
more of US. II the Federal Admins
tration then wants to provoke civil
war,--it will try no more Of these law
less arrests in New York State. The
glorious name of Lafayette will no more

preferred death to such Slavery. |
