THE following incidents of the war in Bo
hemia are from the correspondence of The
London Telegraph:
ain the fierce fight of Trautenau, the ad.
vancing Prussians came upon ditch half Gil,
ed with dead aud wounded Austrians-
Among the latter was a young officer, evi-
deutly hard hit; he was lying on his back
to the wet ditch Moved with manly com
passion. the Prussians were ab0ut to remove
the wounded man, that his case might be at
tended to BY the surgeon, when he entreat-
ed them to let him lie there, as he felt quiet
cool and comfortable. He expired shortly af
ter. When the dead body was removed il
was found that, even with the life ebbing
from it fast, it had still served to protect the
I" bit of rag which in the morning Of that
bloody day had been the standard of the reg
iment. He had carefully folded it up, and then
laid down upon it to die. His noble foes for
bore to touch the trophy. They wrapped
it round him, and they who told me this story.
told it bareh9aded. He had lost two neph-
ews in the fierce fight. One Of them, Bar
on Won Wurm, adjutant to Lieutenant Col
onel Won Pennewitz, had been killed by the
same grenade which struck down his chief.
There is another story gathered on the
same awful field which I would rather not
tell, but that it shows one of the worst and
most forbidding reverses of the bright medal
of military glory. It was during the combat
Of the 9th ult.. at Trautenau, that the 45th
PruSsian Regiment of Foot, one of the Dant-
zig regiments, sent line of slIirmishers for
ward. They were driven in, bv an Austrian
attack in force One of the officers, Lieu
tenant Treuge, a great favOrite with the men
received a bullet wound in the neck. He fell,
but endeavored to rise again, when an Ans
trian officer thrust his sword through the
chest of the wounded man, and then Selzing
a musket from the ground, beat in the Prus-
SLAMS skull with the butt-end. The retreat
ing sIlirmishers, already vengeiully disposed,
it appears. as they had lost two other favor
il officers of theirs in the advance, Captains
Konig and Gabain, returned with the fierce
ness and swiltness of tigers, regardless of
the hail of bullets showered upon them by
the Austrians. Ere the assassin could secure
his retreat they were upon him. These men
carry their cheese-knives in their boots down
went their needle-gunS on the ground; and,
sickening to relate, yet only too feartu!ly true,
five minutes after, the atroeious deed was
avonoed still more atrociouSly: every one OF
their knives had drunk this wrethed slayer's
and victims blood, and the body had literal |
v been cut and slashed to pieces. Yet |

ColonelP. promised to 90 with me the
next day on the other side Of the bridge which
separated Us from the enemy. That same
evening, as I was taking my walk, said %
myself, Suppose I go now" passed the
body-guard and proceeded to the bridge. and
had nearly reached the opposite side, when I
heard a report, and at the same time three OF
four balls whistled BY me- I stopped. SeF6

thing which l could not understand, and led
me to my friend, the Colonel. He looked aB
me exaspeTated.
" Sir" said he, " what were you doing OF
the Jridge?"
" I went to visit the tomb"
" Enough Without permit And the

The Colonel went to the window, called
the guard of the opposite tent, and gave the
men into custody.
The next day the men were shot, in spite
Of my appeals to the Colonel, on my knees,
for pardon for these unfortunate men, Of
whose death I was unwittingly the cause.
The Colonel was inaexible. When those
five Croats. pierced by shots, had fallen, the
Colonel who regretted his soldiers and seem4
ed to forget our friendly relations, said:
And now, sir, leave The territory in two
hours, or I shall have you arrested as q

But, Colonel
He looked at me. and with a terrible voice,
said: Upon my honor, sir, swear it"

A Practical Sermon.

We find the following sermon in the local
columns Of the West Alabamian, said to have
been delivered by a colored preacher who re-
joiced in the title of "Maj." We never saw
a report in which the idiom of the negro was
more faithfully given; nor have we often
seen discourse more pointed and applica-
bic to the present condition Of tie freedmen!
"And now my dear dyin' and remortat

LOVES LABOR LOST,

IT is now some two or three year
since a young gentleman entered tht
Office Of a Special Agent of the Pos
Office Department in one of our large
cities, and announced that he had &
serious case of mail depredations to re-
port, which he would like to have inves.
tigated Immediately. Being requested
to give the particulars of the matter, he
produced from his pocket letter ad.
dressed to himself, and postmarked with
the name OF a small town in the State Of
Pennsylvania. The envelope bore uu-
mistakable evidence of having been
opened and resealed, and the address was
in ladys hand writing.
"There, sir, said he, carefully remov-
ing the letter, and handing the envelope
to the Agent for inspection, "that ere
letter has been robbed by some post
Office thief of twenty-six dollars. Now
[ want you to catch him and put the
screws to him-give him ten wears at
least. don't care for the loss of the
money" Gt is singular, by the way. how
subllmely Indifferent to pecuniary con-
siderations most people are who prefer
these complaints, "but I'd like to see
the rascal caught"
Now, the Agent having had consider
able previous experience in the investi-
cation of cases of "rifing," was quite
sensible that a very necessary preliminary
to such investigations was a thorough
knowledge of all the circumstances con
nectad with the affair, and after atten-
lively examining the envelope, which
was literally bedaubed with mucilage,
he observed:
dwell, sir, I will take a memorandum
of your statement, and if it proves to be
a post-ofice thief as you say
of it does, sir? Why, who else can
it be? Isn't there the envelope to speak
for itself-hasn't it evidently been torn
open and gummed up again? OF course
it's a post-ofice thief-any one can see
that"
Probably, sir; but I don't see it, just
yet. Be good enough to give me the
name Of the writer of this letter"

and Noses--A Chart to Complete the Moral

The Poetry and Philosophy Of Eyes, Lips
and NOses--A Chart to Complete the Moral
Income Tax.
From the New York TribuneI
BIR. SAMUEL WELLS, of the firm of
Fowler & Wells, has issued a volume on
Physiognomy, which is admirably printed
and profusely illustrated, and is probably
the most complete handbook upon the
subject in the language. 1t contains a
synopsis of the history of physiognomy,
with notices of all the different systems
which have been promulgated, and criti-
cal examination of the eyes, the noses,
the mouths, the ears and the brows, of
several thousand distinguished and noto-
rious characters.
After doing full justice to the systems
of his predecessors, Mr.. Wells comes to
his own. He divides faces into the OBJ
long, the round, and the pyriform or
pear-shaped. Persons with oblong faces
are naturally vigorous, active, energetic
and impassioned, and possess strongly
marked characters !" those with round
faces are "ardent, impulsive, versatile,
and often tickle" They usually have
more elasticity than frmness, more dill
gence than persistence, more brilliancy
than depth. The pear-shaped face indi-
Gates great activity of the brain and ner-
vous system. The thoughts are quick,
the senses acute, and the imagination
lively and brilliant. The couutenance of
General jackson was oblong, that of
J can Paul round, and that of Rachel, the
actress, pear shaped. Grades of intelli-
gence are also indicated by the facial
angle. This is so degrees in the Euro
pean, in the negro of Africa 20, in the
orang-outang 60 degrees. Other things
being equal, the smaller the angle the
lower the degree of intelligence.
Another chapter upon the anatomy of
the face brings Mr.. Wells directly to the
chin. This, in strict accordance with its
relation to the cerebellum anatomically,
indicates by its degree of anterior and la
terial development, the voluntary power
and activity of Love. For example,
Aaron Burr, and Catharine II, that
wicked old woman, had both enormous
chins, and Black Hawk, who, like most
American Indians, cared nothing for his
wife, no chin at all. The Prince Of
Wales has can indented chin," and
hungers and thirsts for affection, which
may account for the number of waltzes
and polkas he dances while visiting the
country. The chin, by its great length
downward, also expresses will or deter

A SUMMER POEM.
BY A1GERNoN CHARLES swNBUENE.

THERE were four apples on the bough,
| Half gold, halfred, that one might know
\ The blood was ripe inside the core;
/ The color of the leaves was more
/ Like stems of yellow corn that grow
| Through all the gold June meadow floor.
The warm smell Of the fruit was good
To feed on, and the split green wood
/ With all its bearded lips and stains
| Of MOSES in the clover veins,
! Most pleasant, if one lay or stood
In sunshine or in happy rains.
! There were four apples on the tree,
Red stained through gold, that all might see
The sun went warm from core to rind;
The green leaves made the summer blind
In that soft place they kept for me
With golden apples shut behind.
The leaves caught gold across the sun,
And where the bluest air begun,
Thirsted for song TO help the heat;
As to feel my lady's feet
Draw close before the day were done;
Both lips grew dry with dreams Of it.
In the mute August afternoon
They tTembled to some underline
Of music in the silver air;
Great pleasure was it to he there
Till green turned duskieT and the moon
Colored the corn-sheaYes like gold hair
That August time it was delight
To watch the red moons wane to white,
'TwiXt gray scanned stems of apple trees;
A sense of heavy harmOnies
Grew on the growth of patient night
More sweet than shapen music is.
But some three hours before the moon,
The air, still eager from the noon,
Tagged after heat, not wholly dead;
Against the stem I leaned my head
The color soothed me like a tune,
Green leaves all round the gold and red.
! lay there till the warm smell grew
More sharp, when flocks of yellow dew
Between the round ripe leaves had blurred
The rind with stain and wet; heard
A wind that blew and breathed and blew,
Too weak to alter its one word.
The wet leaves next the gentle fruit
Felt smoother, and the brown tree root
Felt the mold warmer; too felt
(As water feels the slow gold melt
Right through it went the day burns mute)
The peace of time wherein love dwelt.
There were four apples on the tree,
Gold stained on red, that all might see
The sweet blood filed them to the core;
The color Of her hair is more
Like stems Of fair faint gold, that be
Mown from the barvcst's middle floor.

gone and stole it out-that's all there i,
about it.
{" o, that's all, is it," said the agent
with difficulty restraining the laugh which
this pitiful tale of true love was calcula-
ted to provoke. "Well sir, there's no
doubt that you're very much abused
individual, and if you will call again in
about fortnight l think I will then be
able to give you some definite informa-
tion in regard to the matter"
"Thank you sir-only put that post
Office fellow in the State prison, and I'll
be satisfied. I don't care about the
money-that is 1 don't care so mach
about it-but if you could get it back
I shall do everything possible, sir
good morning"
Good morning, sir"
Punctually at the expiration of the
fortnight the victim of this heartless
"post-ofice robbery" presented himself
to hear the result of the Investigation
The agent by writing one or two letters,
and availing himself of certain other
means at his command, had iu the mean
time entirely satisfied himself as to the
author of the "outrage," and was quite
prepared for the visit
GOOD morning, sir. Have you found
out yet who stole my money"
Yes, sir, I think I have"
"Tm glad to hear ibid you getany
of it back?"
Not cent"
Well I suppose he's in the State
prison by this time?"
" Not that l know of but it is not i'm
possible that he may reach that institu-
ton one Of these days. Here's a letter
that will perhaps explain the matter bet
ter than l can. 1 received it few days
since from Pennsylvania" The anxious
young gentleman recognized at once his
" Emily's" handwriting, and hastencd
to read the following:

There was a deep silence during the
reading of this epistle in the Office of the
Agent, who had considerably turned his
back while the unhappy victim was learn
ing of his wasted affection and CASH
The silence continued so long that the
Agent turned to offer what little consola-
ton was in his power. But he was
spared the task. The hapless young
man had noiselessly departed-possibly |
to take the first train for Pennsylvania,
possibly to mediate in solitude over the
advantages of " love at first

he went, he has not returned.
