The interpositiOn Of tho United States
saved Mexico from suLjugation by the
arms Of France. But, subsequently,,
wien The American government asked
the life OF the Archdukc Maximilian,
Mexico denied the request. When the
fact became known to the American Le-
giou, that the request had been made by
The Cabinet at Washington, and denied
by the Mexican authorities, the Amcri-
cans secretly resolved, Mt the hazard oi
their lives, 10 place the Al cldukc safely
upon American soil. Thc undertaking
which they prepared themselves to exc
cute was nothing less than the abduction
of MaXilnilian by stratagcm. The Arch
duke had surrendered and was in pris-
on ;his trial BY druM-hcad court martial,
and his sentence had already taken
place he awaited his execution. The
plan Of the Americans, hastily n,aturcd,
was TO surprise and capture his guard IN
the night, to take him from the prison,
mount him upon a feet horse, and cs-
cort him. under the protection Of the
Legion, TO Matamoras, and thence across
the Rio Grande into Texas. Every de-
tail OF this enterprise was carefully at
tended 10, nor did ii need the plcadings
OF their countrywOman. the Princess
Salm- -Salm, to nerve them 10 the task.
Tho simple request Of the American
government was law to the Legion of
Honor, and it was to them sufficient
warrant for the desperate undertaking.
But destiny was against them; an um-
forscen circumstance prevented them
from even making the attempt. On the
morning OF the very day they had select
cd to rescne the prisoner they were sud-
denly and percmptoriIy ordered to
march, at moments notice, on special
duty TO the capital Of Mexico. Rcmon-
strancc was unavailing. Every plea

which existed between the Princess and

with some chagrin. that the American
Legion had escorted the lady through
the lines during the siege Of Qncrctaro.

cision but he left tho Americas Legion

The Counts Little Daughter.
A Legend Of Naremberr.


A Legend Of Naremberr.
BY MRS. r. 8. GREENOUGH.
Ger the gray old German city
The shadow of morning lay;
More tcnderly Kissed each mother
Her little child that day.
With deeper prayer each father
Laid his hand on his st-born's head,
For in the castle above them
Lay the Counts little daughter, dead.
Slow moved the great procession
Down from the castle gate,
To where the black-drapcd cathedral
Blazcd in funeral state.
And they laid the little child down,
In her robes of satin and gold,
To sleep with her dead forefatl.crs
In the stone crypt, dark and cold.
At midnight the Countess lay weeping
Meath her gorgeous canopy,
She heard as it were rustIing,
And little feet come nigh.
She started up in the darkness,
And with yearning gesture wild,
She cries, "Has the Father heard me |?
Art thou come back, my child!"
Then a child's voice, soft and pleading,
Said, "Ivc come, o mother dear,
To ask if you will not lay me
Where the little birds can heart
"Thc little birds in their singing,
And the children in their play.
Where the sun shines bright on the
Flow crs all tho long summer day.
"In the stone crypt I lie weeping,
For cannot choose but fear,
Such wailings dire and ccasriess
From the dead Count coffins hear.
"And I'm all alone, dear mother,
No other child is there:
Oh. lay me to sleep in the sunshine,
Where all is bright and fair.
II cannot stay, dear mother,
must back TO the nlOans and gloom,
must lie there, fearing and weeping.
Till you take me from my tomb"
Then the Countess reused her husband,
Saying, "Give 10 me. pray,
That spot Of green by the deep fossc,
Whare the cl'iltarsn love TO play.
For our little one lies weeping,
And asks. for Christ's dear sake.
That mid song and sunlight ani flowers,
Near children her grave we make"
And the green spot was made garden.
Blessed by priests with book and
prayer,
And they laid the Counts little daughter !
Mid flowers and sunlight there.

MURDERS IN CABUL.
AsLUM KHAN AND HIS BROTHERS sTRANGLED IN

The dark and blood stained history of Cabul,
in Afganstan had yet another tragedy added to It's
pages. When Gen. FarramOrz Khan was baseiy u,ur-

Mahomet Aslum Khan at once suspected a. the IN
sgator He was seized and brought to Cabu and there
imprisoned with the utmost rgOr, along with MS
brothers Cassm Khan Hassan Khan, and Hossein khan
II was reported OF the time that the conspiracy was d.
rected against the Amir himself After the brothers had
been some time in JAIL Cassm Khan and Hassan knan
like true Afghans, said to have curried favor
with the Amir by betraylng their brothers. They 9e-
clared that Aslu Khan had laid plot for the murder
of the Amir in which they would not join and they now
asked the of the Amir to punish their brothers ~
prison The Amir would not listen to their petitions ~
rst but on the third fourth application said 70
have given them permission to punish Aslum Khan ana
gave them sufficient Latitude the two stranged Aslum
Khan and Hossen Khan with rope or cloth IN prison
The Amir, on hearing OF the tragedy, wss
thrown into a state Of great excitement, as nc
had never thought OF such result He had al

and that he ordered the execution himself There seems
however no why he should have taken such an
unpopular way Of getting rid OF an unpopular man. Az
