From the Atlantic Monthly.
The Last charge.

Now, men of the North, will you join in the strife
For country, for freedom. for honor. for Ifes
The giant grows blind in his fury and Spite
One blow on his forehead will settle the fight
Flash full in his eyes the blue Lightning OF STEEL
And stun him with cannon balls, peal upon peal !
Mount, troopers, and follow your game to its lair,
As the hound tracks the wolf and the beagle the
hare
Blow, trumpets. your summons till sluggards
awake
Beat drums, till the roofs of the faint-hearted
shake.
Yet yet, ere the 81 gnet is stamped on the scroll,
Their names may be traced on the blood-sprinkled
roll
Trust not the false herald that painted your shield
True honor today must be sought ON the field
Her scutcheon shows white with blazon of red
The life drops of crimson for liberty she'd
The hour is at hand, and the moment draws nigh
The dog star of treason grows dim in the sky
Shine forth from the battle-cloud. light of the
morn.
Call back the bright hour when the Nation was
borni
The rivers of peace through valleys shall run,
As the glaciers of tyranny melt in the sun;
Smite, smits the proud parricide down from his
throne
His sceptre once broken. the world is our own!

The Garb of Honor.

We have often noticed that one
fashion has become wonderfully preva-
lent within the last two years, and it
grows cOntantly more 50. 1t is the
fashion of that customary garb OF
black" that kind of common law in
our civilization has allotted to those who
mourned loved one. Go where you
will, you will see it-not here and there,
and now and then, but at all times and
in all places; and it gives a solemn and
serious air to all assemblages, whether
at church or the smaller private circle.
There is no Preside howso'er defended
But hath vacant chair,
1t is a part of the grand cruelty of
war. Mothers send away sons that
have been their idols from the cradle
Send them away with the great pride
that fills mothers heart in the posses
sion of son WAC is a man, and ready
to die for his country. Fond sisters
say their hopeful good bye, and fair
girls with love in their luminous eyes, y
consent to part with the man they have
chosen from the racial for the coun-
try! Two or three days later there is
q battle-mother, sister, sweetheart,
read the names of the killed and
wounded-and the next time you see
them they are dressed in Grape. They
have thus silently, and without ostenta-
ton arrayed themselves in these robes
of honor. For il is not as when one
puts on mourning under ordinary cir
cumstances. Who cares for that out
side OF their special circle? And who
does not desire to touch his hat 10 those
robes of sorrow worn in memory of a
man given to death for a common
cause? Such robes are the signs that
the wearers have made for the country
the utmost sacrifice that is in any ones
power to make, and they are grander
evidence of patriotism than all the
tawdry cockades that vanity ever put
on.

Reported Murder of DIR. Livingstone, of
Africa.

1t is reported that DIR. Livingstone,
the African explorer, has been MUIR
dered by the natives of Lake Nyassa.
A letter published in the English pa
pers, dated at the Cape on the 2Ist of
December, says:
The doctor, after the receipt of the
news of his recall, had started for Lake
Nyassa, taking with him FIVE Makolo-
chas but no Europeans. Unfortunate
ly, after gaining the Upper Shire, the
boat-their only means of conveyance
was lost over one of the cataracts
with which the river abounds, aud they
were compelled to continue their Jour-
ney on foot. 1t was on the 18th of
July that the doctor commenced his
unhappy journey; and from the time
OF the occurrence mentioned above,
until the 5th of November, nothing
more was heard of him. On that day
the Governor of Quillimane received a
letter from the Governor of SIENNA,
stating that the doctor and his COM
panions had met their death at the
hands of the natives on Lake Nyassa.
The.same correspondent, however,
adds:
Although the account of the horrible
tragedy bears all the impress of authen-
ITCHY. / gladly seize upon rumor
which is current, to the effect that the
doctor, although badly wounded is not
yet dead.
The London Atheneuna cites Sir
Roderick Murchison as authority for
doubling the report of DIR. Living
stones death. 1t says:
We are happy to think there is rea-
son for hoping that this news was un-
true-an opinion which is supported by
the great authority of Sir Roderick
Murchison. DR.. Livingstone is said
to have been wounded in the foot and
his companions to have been killed. A
subsequent dispatch spoke of massa-
ere of the whole party but this is
probably an exaggerated version of the
first report.

had the pleasure of lengthy con
versation with MaiOF4ieneral Hunter e
few evenings since, while on his way
up North after an official visit 10 Gen
Banks Department, and do not know
that l can do better than give the sub
stance of that conversation which he
held with the distinct understanding
that | was a cores pendent of the Ga
zette.
With regard to General Banks, he
said that he was disappointed in him
as a military commander, for, Judging
him by his conduct and course As
Speaker in Congress-, he had formed a
favorable opinion of him, and conclud-
ed that he would make a Good Gen
eraL
He is Of the decided opinion that
cotton has corrupted to some extent
both the array and navy; and that, ex-
cept the cotton is seized by the Govern
ment, it should not allow citizens to
follow the army and trade In It. Ho
condemned, in the most unequivOcal
terms, the feeding with one hand and
fighting with the other policy, and
stated rs his firm belief that just as long
as it was pursued we mightlook for de
feat, or at least We could not expect
success.
He said it was his intention 10 repre-
sent the matter thus 10 the Executive,
and to urge upon it the absolute neces-
sity Of pursuing a strictly war policy
upon the lower Mississippi lie did not
believe in the loyalty Of any cOnsidera-
bic number Of the Southwestern seeded
States, and he believed that il would
have been far better for us if half the
energies expended IN protecting and
conciliating those people, had been di-
rectcd 10 the care, protection and edu-
cation, even as soldiers, Of the negroes
in the Mississippi Valley lie con
demned heartily the leased plantation
scheme, and said that, as now carried
out, the negroes were cheated and lily
provided for, He instanced this at
considerable length, and mentioned the
fact that fully half Of the wages 70 be-
paid the hands was defrauded by sell
ing them brass trinkets as jeWelry, up
on which the raseally trader realizes at
the rate Of FIVE thousand per cent II
this did not come from a source a. reli-
able and authentic IL would seem but
reasonable TO scout Il as absurd.
Gen Hunter is also of the decided
opinion that the Government owes II -
itself to adopt a retaliatOry policy on
account Of the Fort Pillow butchery,
and that the most vigorous measures
must be adopted TO correct the outrages
upon life and property, if the plantation
scheme is continued Not a day passes

FIRST HEAT


There was some trouble about start
ing. There were two false starts, and
Bowen and the Captain were of twice
and brought back Legal Tender was
coy and coquetish, and little obstinate
withaI, not seeming to ike his compa-
nv. He wouldn't move a peg, at one
moment showing signs Of shaking of
his groom and starting of for a race BY
himself round the other way.
a good start was got at last, with le-
gal Tender on the lead, the Captain
second and Bowen third passing on
thus round 10 the back stretch, max
ing the quarter in . seconds, and the
half mile In 56l. On the back stretch
Bowen didn't fancy being in the rear
and he came % the front, the three
horses for a few rods on the back stretch
running beautifully together, necK and
neck, presenting as beautiful sight 70
a turfsman's eye As was seen yesterday.
But on the third quarter Bowen forged
easily ahead, opening gap OF several
lengths between him and Legal Tender
bidding a final adieu 70 the Captain,
swinging into the home stretch well B.
head. but Legal Tender pressing him
close. making the first mile IN Loo. and
pushing into the second mile at slap
ping pace that Legal Tender found too
great 70 overcome. At no time, how
ever. could Bowen part company with
his friend Legal Tender hugeed him
close through the second mile, keeping
within smelling distance al the way
until the home stretch was reached,
when his rider piled. the whip and the
rowels, and pushed Bowen TO his fast
est speed As the horses came down

the stretch, running Ike great guns. "
the friends of Legal Tender had mo
nentary hope Of triumph, for he had
apparently quartered on his antagonist.
and there was time enough to win the
the prize. But Bowen held his own,
and came to the score winner of the
heat in 3:49, Legal Tender close at hand,
and taking strong sniff at his quar-
ters The Captain barely escaped be
ing distanced
The trinds of Bowen were iubiiant
But both they and those who had laid
their pile on Legal Tender gathered
around Bowen with some interest, to
see if he had not been struck and cut
BY the fore feet OF Legal Tender, Just
as the score was crossed An examina-
ton showed an inside cut of the near
hind leg, Just above the hook, not
serious, enough TO excite INJURY and
speculation. Legal Tender seemed q
little under the pub Of his rider, who
was plying the whip with one hand, Just
before the string was reached, bringing
him into a direct line behind Bowen,
with his nose on his rump, and while in
the very act of his stride, so that q
collision Of legs was inevitable. Fortu-
netely, the blow was slight, a lightning
like touch with the quarter of the hoof
drawing a lite blood and making
slight puff, and no more.
SECOND HEAT.
The horses recovered wind, and cool
ed off for the second heat The betting
was heavily in favor Of Bowen, four to
one, and ten to one being offered, with
few, if any takers, though the friendsof
Legal Tender stuck to him hopefully.
A very fair start was got, Bowen hav-
ing the lead Legal Tender second,
and the Captain third. Bowen bad it
all his own way through the two miles
of the second heat Legal Tender ran
well, but Bowen kept the lead with
ease, making the first mile in As, and
the second in :5S; and the heat in
1886, coming home a winner by eight
or ten lengths.
