The officer made q feint which was dis.
regarded-a thrust which was parted
with the left. A second feint and sec.
ond thrust were foied in the same way
Another feint, converted into real attack
was adroitly baffled. The officers color
rose--the eyes of the two professors were
on him-his reputation and that of his
teacher were at stake. He changed his
tactics; disengaginc suddenly, he raised
his sword and discharged blow at the
head with seemingly irresistible force.
My little friend could only avert the
assault by receiving the sword on the
forte of his weapon and dropping as low
as possible; so far was the parry success
full, but the downward blow, which, in
reality was only the aUant courier, being
followed by n thrust underguard, was
only parted by the rapid use of the left
hand, this time not without mischief, for
blood was seen to flow from the hand
called into requisition. The officer, in
making this last thrust, owing to the slip
perry ground, had given an opening,
which my friend, in spite of the previous
cautions of his instructor. prepared to
take advantage of. The circumstance
was noticed by Di Pratt, who frowned
omiuously, and muttered beneath his
breath, eff ne break guard, he is lost
hah bravo! brayow The words of ap-
proval were drawn from him by noticing
what had happened. The thrust, have
said, brought the officer just barely within
range. BY adexterous movement of the
wrist the point Of my friends sword was
drawn swiftly across the officers chest.
The temper and keenness of the Moorish
weapon were here clearly proved, for the
light touch, as it appeared, laid open flesh
and muscle to the bone from the left
shoulder clear across the bust, causing a
delugo of blood to follow.
The officer finding himself severely
wounded, became crimson with rage;
curbing his passion, he prepared to exc
cute the fayorite maneuver, which hither-
to had proved fatal to his opponents
He advanced on my friend and making a
strong cross of his sword, put forth his
wonderful strength Of wrist.
NY attention was called off for q mo-
ment 10 Di Pratt, who drew out his hand
kerchiof, held It for a moment, and then
dropped it
Not moment too soon. Tho officer
had made his opan and delivered swift
thrust full at the body of my friend, who
having seen the handkerchief drop,
brought his left hand again into play.
This time two fingers fell to the ground.
The next instant a terrific yell assured me
that something fatal had occurred. Ia
risposte had been given; my friends
sword was buried deeply in the lower part
Of the officers body. The officer, instinc-
lively feeling that the wound was mortal,
seized the sword with one hand, and
shortening his own, made desperate
lunge, only to be warded off by my friond
quitting hold of his sword and leaping
back out of distance. The force of the
thrust carried the officer forward; he fell
prone, forcing his opponents sword into
his body up to the very hilt.
The officer cast one look Of mingled
rage and hato at my friend, the last look
on earth, and as he turned convulsively
on his back, his eyes closed in death.

THE .sBsURDITI' OF 1T.

1t is all very we'll for the poets to tell,
BY way of their songs adjoining.
OF mikmaids who rouse to manipulate COWS,
At five O'Clock in the morning;
And of moony young mowers VINO bundle out
The charms of their straw beds scornlng-
Before break of day. TO make love ana nay,
At five O'Clock in the morning!
But, between you and me, it is all untrue
Believe not a word they utter:
To no milkmaid alive does the ringer OF nve
Bring beaux-or even bring butter;
The poor sleepy cows, if told TO arouse,
Would do So perhaps. in a hOrn-lng;
But the sweet country girls, would THEY show
their curls
At five O'Clock in the morning!
II may not be wrong for the man in the song
Or the moon-lf anxious to SETTLE,
To kneel i'm wet grass, and pop but alas
What if he popped down on nettle
For how could he see what was under his knee,
IT, in spite of my friendly warning.
He went out of bed. his house, and his head,
At five O'Clock in the morning.
II is all very we'll such stories to tell,
But If were maid all fOIlOrn-ing.
And lover should crop in the clover to pop,
At five O'Clock in the morning:
If / liked him, you see, d say, 7" Please can al
three
II not, / d turn him out with scorning:
Don't come here you fiat, with conundrums like
that,

Couldn't Em dure Greatness.

The Russian journals bring us az &C.
count Of singular suicide-that OF
Kommissarron, vino in 1866 saved the
life of the Emperor Alexander by knock
ing up the arm of the assassin Karasko-
sow just as he was about to direct a pis-
tol against the person of the Gear.
The man who was fortunate enough
to render this service 10 His Majesty, and
was obout So years of age. From this
time out honors continued to rain upon
him. For his plebian name was substi-
tuted noble one, that of Kostumski =
He received an entailed estate, with all
its privileges, was made Colonel of reg
iment of tho Imperial Guards, and ma
tional subscription was opened for him,
which produced nearly two millions of
roubles.
This favorite of fortune, however,
could not stand the intoxication of his
good luck, and he sought TO counterbal-
ance its giddy effects by another species
of inebriety. A hopeless sot, he became
an intolerable burden to himself and 9th
ers, and finally in one of his desperate
fits of drunkenness hung himself.

THE OLD sT0RI:

1.-THE sails are set and the breeze is up,
And the prov is turned for a northern sea:
Kiss my cheek and vow me a vow
That you will ever be true TO me -
al kiss your cheeks and kiss your lips:
Never a change this heart shall know.
Whatever betide-come life, come death
Darling, darling, love you sol"
Oh. but the northern lights are keenl
The sailor clings to the frozen shrouds:
A kiss burns hot through his dreams of home.
And his heart goes south through the flying
clouds.
The maiden laughs as the garden gate
Dreams of love are the soonest o 'erl
Kisses fall on her lips and hair,
And the world goes on as il went before.

IMMrGRATIoN.

We are always glad. to hear Of
Others doing well, and none the less
ahxious to prosper ourselves and see
Our neighbors advance their interests.
We are led to the above solil6quy
upon hearing of the amount of inn
migration that's coming into our
State, and are surprised that none
come to our county. We say none,
because they are so few and far be-
tween that it does not count In d
manner that is susceptible. We con-
tinue to hear Of immigrants coming
into Dixon, Hickman and other
neighboring counties, and the ques-
ton very naturally arises, Why is it
that they do not come into Mont
gomery county7 Yes, why is it,
that's the question:; and upon its
proper solution may depend the sue
cess of q scheme to attract immi-
grants here.
1t Is true our lands are not so low
priced, on general average basis, as
lands in the counties we have men,
toned; but the difference is more
than counter balanced by the amount
and extent of Improvements, the
quality of our lands, our means Of
communication, religious and educa-
tional advantages. 1t strikes us that
our land owners are too penurious;
they seem afraid of printers ink, and
fail to bring their property before the
public eye. In Dixon county where
immigration is flowing in different
state of things exist. Men having
property to dispose of place it in the
hands of real estate agent with in
structions to advertise it, and where
a great many offer property for sale
the cost of advertising is compare
lively small. These advertisements
are scattered by the agent throughout
the country, and to be effective they
are sent to other agents, who, when
they furnish q customer, get one-half
the commissions.
We make these suggestions to our
readers without any desire Of pecu-
mary gain we do so because the
plan has worked well elsewhere, and
we cannot see why it would not
prove a success here.
We desire immigration. We wish
to see every acre of tillable land in
Montgomery county ingood hands,
and are anxious to bring about so
desirable Il thing. Consequently our
humble effort in behalf of encour-
aging immigration to this county.
Nothing can be accomplished with
out an effort, and we invite all to put
their shoulders to the wheel in behalf
of immigration.
