A VERY APT REPLY-A soldier of this
city, who served with distinction as Colonel
of Michigan regiment, was approached
Yesterday BY an officer who supports johnson
with a suggestion that, as military men,
they ought to pay their respects to President
johnson upon his arrival in Toledo.
" You may, but will not" replied the
Michigan Colonel, " for have no respect for
him."
"But," quoth the Johnsonian, "you will
20 with us and show your respect for Grant
and Farragut, who accompany him, won't
you?''
my dear sir,' replied the Colonel,
" there was once an old lady who kept
boarding house for laborers. One morning
she came across piece of tainted beef which
she purchased cheap and boiled for dinner
1t smelt to heaven and not laborer would
touch it. That evening she sliced and fried
it, but it wouldn't dot still smelt. The
next morning she made hash of it, but it
smelt louder and louder, when boarder, who
could stand it no longer, spoke his mind
Look here, old lady, you may bile it, you
may fry it, or you may spile good potatoes by
hashin' it with 'em, but that meat stirks, and
you can't crowd it down me in any shape
Now" continued the very positive Coionei'
you may take johnson boiled, fried stew
ed, or sandwiched between two as good Posa'
toes as Grant and Farragut, and ne sunAs.
You can't crowd him down me az any
price,"
The conversation closed quite abruptly

amazement rendered them almost speechless.
But Ginevra, whenever she saw she was
recognized, paused, and courteously address
ed her former acquaintances. She told them
that her husband not only hastily buried her
alive, without the proper investigation which
might have proved that she was not dead,
but that, when she sought his door, and that
of her father, she had been rejected by both !;
and that it was not the fault of husband,
father, priests, or physicians that she was
not in reality dead for dead she must short
ly have been, but for him who alone had
truly loved her. and opened his door and
arms to receive, whether she came in the
flesh or the spirit and, therefore, it was to
him that her life belonged, and to him it had
been consecrated.
Francesca Agolanti soon heard of his wife's
temperance. of her defiant words, and her
new marriage. Finding that the tale was
true, he made an appeal to the courts of
justice, to induce them to restore Ginevra to
him, her rightful husband.
Ginevra and Antonio were summoned to
appear before the Ecclesiastical Court, over
which the archbishop presided: The excite
ment ran high throughout Florence. and the
court was surrounded by an indignant popu.
lace, who denounced Agolanti and Bernardo,
and openly declared their sympathy for An
tonic and Ginevra. Before the tribunal
Ginevra told her tale bravely and with great
feeling and made known her determination
to resist her former husbands efforts to re-
claim her, after he had twice placed her life
in peril, had shut her up in the grave, and
had closed his doors against her; adding,
that if she should be separated from Antonio,
she would take refuge from Agolanti in
convent.
The cause was ably argued on both sides.
But the judges in those times hardly dared
to gainsay the outspoken verdict of the many
mouthed public, which was apt to decide for
them what was justice, and to enforce that
justice, when not summarily dealt out, by
riot and bloodshed.
The decision given will seem almost in,
credible in our days. The marriage between
Agolanti and Ginevra was declared void and
null, through hersupposed death and actual
burial and the court decided that she was
free to form other ties, according to her good
pleasure that the ties she had contracted
were legal, and that she was now the lawful
wife of Antonio Rondinelli

BOOKER,s RUN.

1.-The following verses, from the Dublin Nation.
refer to the disgraceful fight of the Queens
Own Canadisn crack regiment, from handful
of Fenians:T
AIR-"Th King of the Cannibal Islands,"
Oh, list and hear, good friends, from me,
The news that's just come Ger the sea,
About the light-legged company,
Led on by Colonel Booker.
The Queens Own Regiment was their name,
From fair Toronto town they came,
To put the Irish all to shame,
And win themselves immortal fame
Tantara, rubadub, OH hi-ho
Drums beat up and bugles blow,
Off they march to meet the foe,
The Queens and Colonel Booker.
Such fury filled each loyal mind,
No volunteer would stay behind
They flung their red rag to the wind
"Hurrah, my boys P' said Booker,
Behold, beyond yon sloping height,
Their bay onets flashing in the light
Go forth, my heroes, left and right,
Let none among them live this night
Readily, steadily, oh, hi-ho!
Sure your aim and strong your blow;
No Irish ruck could face you kkow,
The Queens and Colonel Booker"
The rifles flashed, The balls came by,
The Queens men fell with groan and cry:
"Good Lord I'd give the world that I
Were safe at home" said Booker.
He spurred for shelter here and there,
He boldly cantered to the rear,
While every loyal Volunteer
Was shaking in his boots with fear.
Quailing, failing, oh, hiho!
Afraid to face the Irish foe,N
Who eheered and laughed to see the show
The Queens and Colonel Booker.
"What sound is that comes on the breeze?
Are those their horsemen midst the trees?
Down, soldiers, down upon your knees,
To meet their charge" said Booker.
Then, turning quick, he fed the place
He wished, he said, to change his base
His soldiers joined him in the race,
And all went off at railway pace;
Heller, skelter, oh, hi-ho
Hggledy, piggledy, there they go,
Swords and guns away they throw,
The Queens and Colonel Booker.
Oh, never say the Indian breed
Bears off the palm for wind and speed:
What dusky chief could take the lead
From loyal Colonel Booker?
Bid him bring out, by day or night,
His gallant Queens" equipped for fight
Place Colonel John O'Neil in sight,
Amidst ridge of bayonets bright
Then give the word, and oh, hi-ho
See how they'll fly the Irish foe,
See how they'll ply the heel and toe,
The Queens and Colonel Booker.

The Last Of the Mamelukes.

The Pacha of Egypt, in 1918, assembled
together the whole corps of the Mamelukes,
as if for feast; and, having secured all
egress except steep and precipitous descent
over the sides of the elevation, (the platform
of the citadel, he destroyed them with can
non. They came, according to their custom,
with their finest arms, and bearing about
them all their wealth. At signal, given
by the Pacha, death burst forth on all sides.
Crossing and enflading batteries poured
forth fame and iron, and men and horses
were at once weltering in their blood
Many precipitated themselves from the sum-
NIT of the citadel, and were destroyed by the
abyss. Two. however, recovered themselves.
At the first shock of the conclusion, both
horses and riders were stunned they trem.
bled, for an instant, like equestrian riders,
shaken by an earthquake, and then darted
off with the rapidity of lightning. They
passed the nearest gate, which fortunately
was not closed, and forced themselves out Of
Cairo. One of the fugitives took the road to
Ell Ezish the other darted up the mountains;
the pursuers divided, one-h half following
each.
1t was a fearful thing-that race for life
or death. The steeds of the desert, let loose
on the mountains, bounded from rock to rock,
forded torrents, flew along the edge of pre-
cipices. Three times the horse of one Name
luke fell, breathless three times, hearing
the tramp of the pursuers, he arose, and re-
newed his flight He fell, at length, not to
rise again. His master exhibited touching
instance of reciprocal fidelity; instead of
gliding down the rock into some defle, or
gaining peak inaccessible to cavalry, he
seated himself by the side of his courser,
threw the bride over his arm, and awaited
the arrival of his executioners. They came
up, and he fell beneath a score of sabers,
without motion of resistance, word of
complaint, or prayer for mercy.
The other Mameluke, more fortunate than
his companion, traversed Ell Ezish, gained
the desert, escaped unhurt, and, in the course
of time, became Governor Of Jerusalem
He was the last and only remnant of that
redoubted corps, which, thirty years before
rivalled in,courage, though not in fortune,
the elite of Napoleon's army.

There is no doubt, believe, that foreigners

succeeded in relieving them of their burdens.

willing to do SO, he would not require them
to act otherwise. The city authorities agreed
to do this, and to quarter no more troops
upon temporary foreign residents.
