Murat Halstead.

If any evidence was lacking to establish
the statement that the workingmen are q
law abiding class of people, it would be
found in the fact that they allow this pen
stoned hbeler-this pariah Of the press-a
Slanderer by nature, and vagabond by
profession, to walk the streets Of Cincin-
natl with q whole carcass His only aim
seems to be to court a castigation from
some one. His attacks on Judge Davis
and through him on the working classes,
have been so gross, so devoid of all honor
and manhood, As to place him without the
pale Of respectable society. However; we
are pleased to know that the thorough con-
tempt and loathing they entertain for him
is sufficient to shield him from the drub-
bing which he so richly deserves.

FEBRUARY 21, 1872.

ed one evening to give Capcul flower that
dropped from her bouquet, between the third
and fourth acts of "Mignon," some of the
ladies of the chorus came to the instant con-
clusiOn that the prima donna had discarded
her former accepted lover and given her
heart to the handsome tenor. Trifling as
was the circumstance, it nearly led to seri-
Gus consequences, for Marie Leon Duval,
the beautiful .'Felina" of the opera just
named, and the reputed betrothed of Ca
poul, witnessed the bestowal of the fragrant
trifle and the ineffable grace and warmth
with which it was accepted. She immedi-
ately registered her unqualified disapproba-
ton of the whole affair by turning her back
upon the parties. and singing subsequently
the few bars CT the "Polonaise," which
are heard in the last act, not only prestiss-
imo, but as sharp as vinegar. Nilsson
smiled at the discontinue of her fair sister
in song, and the tenor took sip of rin ordi-
naire, generously provided by the manage
ment, and subs,ded into quiet corner to
brood over the 1ickleness OF the sex until
the curtain rose again. 1t was days before
the two lovers were themselves once more,
when it became noticeable that when op-
portunity served, and NJ lie Nilsson was in a
good humOr, she sometimes archly shook

A Maenan;mous Blacksmith.

A One-armed hOrseman recently travel
ing through Missouri. stopped at Black
smiths shop to have his horse shOd. The
smith noticed the empty sleeve, and asked
him if he lost his arm in the war, He re-
piled with a sigh, that he did, and even
more. going on to relate how he left home
to enlist in the Southern army, and at the
that his wife, who thought him dead, had
moved away, and he had since been unable
to obtain a trace of her. "What is your
name ?" asked the blacksmith. When the
answer was 81. NJ. Waldrup" he suddenly
released the hoof over which he had been
bending, and, without looking at the ex-
soldier, cried: Follow me into the house."
and hurriedly led the way. Result the
discovery of Mrs. Waldrup with three new
children by her side. She had supp Dsed
waldrup dead and accordingly mar
ried the blacksmith. The two men wise
ly came to the conclusion to let the lady
choose between them, and she elects in fla
vor OF Waldrup. Then she says she cannot
do without the children. and the blacksmith
says, after a most painful pause, "YOu
shall take them my dear" When the
steamboat. st. Luke" says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, in a most touching paragraph,
" stopped at tine landing some hours later:
Waldrup went on board with his still weep
ing and thickly yelled wife, and the black
smith followed the children. The boat s
bell rang for the starting, and the dread
of separation was at hand. The crew, the
passengers. the captain-all who witnessed
it-were affected to tears by the touching
seine. With great drops rolling down his
tawny cheeks, the smith kissed the children
one after another, and in choking voice
tade the mother an eternal goodbye. The
f,,l1v -, l..
ces, shook hands long aud earnestly, and
then the blacksmith, by strong effort OF
iron will, released the hand OF Waldrup, and
walked quietly to the shore. He never
turned his face again toward the boat, which
soon passed out Of sight around merciful
bend in the river, but strobe on, with head
bowed down. to the home whittier the voice
OF his wife and children should welcome
him no more.

Strength Of Gibraltar.

Until you set foot on Gibraltar You can
form no idea of its impregnability. Very
properly its real strength can not be seen
from ship in the bay. Only when you
land do you find the sea-wall bri>ties with
heavy guns and 9rOans beneath piles of
ball only as you traverse its flanks do you
see how formidable breech-loaders peep
from every available chink, and powerful
mortars lurk behind every convenient en-
bankment. And not till you penetrate the
body of the rock do you get any just notion
OF the marvellous piece of military engineer
ing exhibited in its "galle!ies." These are
tunnels excavated from the solid rock
parallel to its outer side, but some thirty
feet therefrom, and large enough to drive
carriage through. They are in two tiers,
and comprise total length of nearly three
miles. At every thirty feet or so along
them spacious embrasures are out-hewn,
that terminate In commanding port holes,
which look, to d spectator outside the rock,
like swallows nest holes in a sand cliff.
These embrasures contain heavy guns, al
ways standing ready for action, with powder
magazines hard by. From the port holes
beautiful peeps of the bay and the Spanish
continent are obtained. Out of these on the
north side, You look down upon q hal:-
sandy, half-grassy flat, perhaps half mile
long, and as wide, or wider. connecting the
rock with the mainland, and separating the
bay from the Mediterranean. Two lines of
sentry boxes one at the rock and the other
at the distant end-mark the boundaries of
British and Spanish land, and between
these lines is the neutral ground" The
gins of the quarried embrasure, and those
hidden cannon that stud the western and
southern slopes of the rock, cover the
neighbOring Spanish land, the whole of the
bay, and straits; and the strengthening
work Is ever going on by the fertilization of
new points that from time to time appear
vulnerable. The eastern side of the rock
requires no protection. 1t is forbiddng
wall, with great sand slope in one place,
but with no foOthold for anything more
than a few fishermen's huts near the waters

A Discouraged Patriot.

Ethan Allen once passed up through the
HoOsac Valley and spent the Sabbath with
friend in WillIamstOwn, attending church
with him and his family. The first and Sec
ond Presidents of Williams Colleg, were
sGuare-toed in their orthodoxy, having far
more faith in divine wrath and justice than
in his love and mercy-and their sermons
gave evidence of their obedience in belief.
On this Sabbath the text of the worthy
President Fitch was, "And if the righteous
scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly
and the sinner appear?" Firstly. he laid it
down as fact beyond question that not one
in ! 900 would be saved. Secondly, thirdly
tostwelfthly, he said that not one in 80, 600
could be saved. Ethan Allen took his hat
and cane and prepared to leave. His friend
said, "Don't leave now" Seventeenthly
dropped from the presidents lips, who said
he had come to the conclusion that of the
millions of men not more than one in 100,-
600 would be saved. The old soldier had
been growing uneasy under this rapidly
sliding scale, in which the blanks so multi
piled and the prizes faded from view. He
grasped his hat and cane, when his friend
said to him, Don't go out. He will be
through shortly; he's now up to seven
teenthly." "Oh, no M ,tter,' said Ethan
Allen, 'any of YOU are welcome TO my
chance, il tits as slim as he tells of" and
left the church.-Psttsfsld Sun.
