stood at his post until the close Of the
action. When Sir Hyde Parker gave
the signal for disseminating the fight
Lieutenant Lee reported it to Lord Mel.

That's the way l answer such signals

1t seemed that the fortunes Of the
great admiral and his portege were mys
teriously united, for this victory. which

come of age. He followed his comman.
der, who had become warmly attached
to him, through all the years that inter.
vcnod, so that when the great day ol
Trafalgar came, he was the second in
command to Capt. Hardy. AS the ac
ton began, Lord Nelson approached
him, and, placing his hand upon his
shoulder, said, Owe are going to have
q hard day, Edward. 1 hope you may
pass through it safely"
1T shall try to do my duty, my lord, y
said Lieutenant Lee. "But," he ad
ded, poining to the uniform and deco
rations which tho commander wore, con
trary to his custom, "why does youl
!ordship render yourself so conspicuous
to-day You will surely draw upon
you the fire Of some marksman."
"1 have q presontiment, said the ad,
miral, "that my race is run SO I have

The proscntiment was realized. II

the battle, tho captain and lieutenant Of
the ship spraug to him, in an agony o.
grief.
"Go hack to your post, Edward" he
said, as the lieutenant knolt by him
Then he added, gently, God bless you

With sad heart the young man re,
turned to his place. The fate which
had seemed to unite his destiny with

realized on this day, for just as the vic
tory was gained, a heavy discharge Of
grape from a French ship of tho line
swept the deck of Lord Nelson's ship,
and when the smoke cleared away Cap.
cain Hardy saw his lieutenant lying al
most in the same spot where the con-
quoror of the Nile had fallen, with his
breast torn open by the terrible dis,

The following is an extract of letter
from New York, published in the Balti-
more Episcopal Methodist on the 4th
instant. We don't know how much
truth there is in this incident, but facts,
within the knowledge Of many persons,
at least makes the statement possible if
not plausible.
A Southern lady on a visit to this
city went to worship in one Of the up
town churches. Soon after, an elegant
y attircd New York lady, of high social
standing, entered the same pew and re-
maincd during the service after which
the Southern lady called her aside into
the vestry room, and in the presence Of
the Rector, with whom she was well ac-
quaintcd, thus addressed her: Mad
am, | do not wish to offend you, but
that shawl you are wearing belongs to
me-" (Tho shawl was a superb one }
The New Yorker protested and doclar
Ell that there must be some mistake.
"If," says thc Southern lady, you will
examine a certain corner, you will see
my initials worked in it, and the Rector
knows wy name very we'll" The cor
nor was found as well as the initials.
The Southern lady then remarked,
That ring you have upon your finger
is also mine, and if you will take the
trouble to examine the interior you will
see the same initials engraved in the
ring" Similar movements as above
described took place with similar re.
suits.
Turning to her again, the Southern
lady said: Madam, that bracelet you
have on is mine also, and by pressing q
spring on the inside it will unclasp and
show you my portrait, The New York
lady did as requested, and there was the
lady's portrait. She promptly returned
the ring and bracelet, as she was con.
vinccd beyond the power to controvert
it that they were the property of this
Southern lady, and remarked as she
did, " they are yours and you are wei
come to them, but as l wore the shawl
to church, must beg the privilege Of
wearing it home again.
The Southern lady accoded, Of course,
and they exchanged cards. The shawl
came back in due time, but the New
York lady had probably obtained the
articles in such manner as to render it
too unpleasant to dlyulge. No more was
said about it,

STRANGE REBELs.-A noticeable
feature in the great. National Conven.

general officers of the Federal army
during the late war. There was Stead.

Convention, but remembered the terri

mauga, whore Steadman stood unwaver-
ing among the most trusted and valued
Of the lieuteuants of Thomas. There
was Custar-how the nation loves and
adores him Custar! the SYNONYM of
dashing galantry aud unfaltoring fdcl-
ity. Said Sheridan on one of the days
before Cold Harbor, "Custer I wish
you would take q regiment and clean
those fellows out" VThoso fellows 4"
were brigade of the enemy a half a
mile away upon the left. Custer looked
at his watch, estimated mentally the
distance, and mounted his horse, saying,
" General, it shall be done in twenty
minutes" In twenty minutes it was
done. That was Cktar.' There was
Rousseau-wo all remember him, the
gallant soldier, the stcadfast patriot, who
rode the Union battle.line through
scores of conflicts, There was Crawford,
division commander in the Army of
the Potomac from Wilderness to Apo

while tho additional guns ordered by
England arc also now ready for shin

has applied for authority to manufacture
Arms in that country under the Rem.

This peculiar feature Of novelty in

Of a swinging breech piece, pierced by

1t was a bright morning in spring,
and the English feet lay at anchor in
Portsmouth harbor, awaiting the admi-
RAILS signal to start out on q cruise. The
flagship, huge, formidable ship Of the
line, with its darl, sides bristling with
guns, was all in commotion. The ad-

was coming of from the shore, ard the
ship was ready to receive him, Already

and soon the vessel was vreathcd in

miral Nelson touched her deck, surroun-
dcd by brilliant staff Standing near
the edge Of the quarterback, and watch
ina the scene with intense oagerness,
was young lad Of about eighteen. He
was dressed simply but neatly, and his
checks glowcd and his eyes kindled,
as he watched the exciting events that
were going on around him. As he re-
turned the salutes Of the officers, the
admiral Glanced to observe the lad
Who is this ?" he asked, turning to
the captain Of the vessel.
"nc's q young lad that came aboard
