LARGEST LOADS OF THE SEASON.
The steamer Gen. Quitman on her

had on board 1857 bales of cotton.
The Magenta took down 1892 bales.
There has been evidently same
cotton raised somewhere between
this and Memphis.

AS they were just beginning the af-
tray they were startled by fourth

young man, fourth nobleman. a

the sight of drawn swords he pro-
duced his own, and attaching him.

thing in their reach. The lamp fell
down aud was extinguished, but
they continued to fight in the dark:
ness. The noise Of the swords
lasted some time, then gradually be-
came less, and at length ceased alto
gether. The old woman ventured
to issue forth from her hiding place,
and, reminding the lamp, she per.
ceived the four young men stretched
on the ground, each having slight
wound. She examined, them care
fully, and found that fatigue, rather
than loss of blood, had overcome
them.
They rose from the ground one
after the other, and ashamed of
what had transpired in the heat of
their passion, they began laughing
and exclaimed:
"Come let us now sup together
without any more fighting"
But when they came to look for
their supper they found it on the
ground, all trodden under foot and
stained with blood Meagr. as it
was they regretted it. In addition |
to this the cabin was destroyed, and
the old witch, seated in a corner,
fixed her pale, red eyes on the four !
young men.
"Why dost thou stare on us thus 70 |
said the first Henry, who was
troubled at her gaze.
Il am reading the fates written
on your foreheads," replied she.
The second Henry commanded
her sternly to disclose them, and the
',', Others laughingly acquiesced.
The old woman replied:
"As you have all four met in this
cabin, so shall you all four meet in
like destiny. As you have tramp1ed
under foot and stained with blood
the bread offered you by hospitality,
so will you trample uuder foot and
and stain with blood the power you
might mutually STARE. AS you have
levasted and impoverished this cot
taye, so will you devastate and lay
waste France As you have all four
been wounded in the darkness, so
you will all four perish by treason
and violent death.
The four young nobleman could
not refrain from laughing at the old
prediction.
These four noblemen were the
our heroes of the Ligne-two as it's
eaders, and two as its enemies.
