Extraordinary Affair i'm Guatem-

BRITISH fICE-CoNsUL FLcGGED. AND THE
CoMMANDANTE WHO ORDERED IT, sncT.
An extraordinary and tlagical affair oc-
Cured at San Jose de Guatemala April
"a. The commandan,e of the port Col.
Gonzales, on account Of some dispute
with the British Vice consul, Mr.. John
Magce, ordered the latter, and also Mr.
Moncrieffe, agent Of the Pacific Mail Com
pany. who had also got mixed up in the
affair, to be put in irons. He also order
cd that Magee should receive 400 lashes,
and the next day be shot. The unfortu-
nate Vice-consul invoked the protection
Of his flag in vain; he was stripped and
given 200 laShes, when, being insensiblc,
the remainder of the punishment was post
poued till the next day. While the fog
ging was going on, Mr. Moncrieffe made
his escape, and sent special courier to
the capital asking for government inter-
ference. In response, detachment Of
troops under Gen, Sclano was dispatched
to San Jose de Guatemala. These came
in sight just as Mr.. Magee had been placed
in position TO receive the remaining 200
lashcs. The commandantc, seeing that
his downfall was near at hand, ordered
his soldiers to fire upon Mr.. Magce. The
soldiers hesitatcd, knowing that their su-
perior officer would soon 90 out of power.
Then the mother wit of Magce came to
his aid, and he said that if Gonzales would.
stop further offensive proceedings he
(Magee) would give him letter Of pro-
lection, and send him on board the Pacific
Main steamer Arizona, lying in port, in
port, in company with the consular agent.
He could then make good his escape to
Salvador. Gonzales accepted the offer,
and the letter was written, out, having OBJ.
tanned what he wanted, The treacherous
tyrant turned and ordered his men to shoot
Mr.. Magee. They refused, and he then
fled to the Pacific Mail steamer Arizona,
which was lying in port. But, as the
commandante was ascending the side Of
the steamer he was fired upon by some Of
the passengers, three shots taking effect
on different parts of his body. He man.
aged to get into his boat, and was taken
ashore, but lived only few hours No
clue to the person who fired on the com.
nandante could be found Gonzales was
tyrant, whose acts Of brutality had, for
some time been drawing the attention Of

DC mourned.

!, VIoToR FITzER's CONQUEST OF A FARM
F st Plate, if we believe the legend, at:
ter he was beheaded, took up his head in
his hand, and walked two leagues. Scep.
tics say that if they could only see him
take the frst step they could have faith
in all the rest But il is the first step
that costs. They stumble there.
So, many Il moneyiess man is confident
he could pay for farm, if he only knew
how TO begin, yet sees all doors of en-
trance to real estate shut, and without
even keyh9es. To encourage such de.
spairng land lovers, let me show them
beardless boy now doing what they might
long ago have done, see St. Plate take
his first step
The l,744th purchaser of land from
the Burlington x Missouri River Rail-
road Co.. in Nebraska, was Victor Fit.
ger, on June %, 1872. This purchase
was 100 acres at Sc per acre, no part of
the principal payable for two years, and
thence forward one ninth Of 1t annually.
The first years interest, $3.50 he pay.
ed Oh the day ofpurchase.
Victor Filter is a boy of sixteen.
Within the last two seasons he has earned
enough chiefly by breaking, that is.
the first plowiug Of the prairie, not only
for his first payment, but for buying
yoke of two year old steers, This yoke,
a year hence, will sci! for more than
enough to make the payment then due.
With the surplus thus obtained, the earn
ings for two years of a yoke of ycarliugs,
which he can now buy for triac, aud
the sale of the same when they become
three-year olds he will have sufficient in
1874 to pay the first instalmcnt of prin-
cipal as soon as it becomes payable. i
His purpose is to buy yoke of year.
lipgs every year till his land is paid
for, selling them again whenever he can,
at profit. Doubtless, he will ALSO next
season, plow some Of his land and sell
crop Of sod-corn for enough to detray his
personal expenses
Should he be disappointed in these rea-
sonablc expectations, he has father on
homestead within mile, and grand
father in Wisconsin, who whilo proud TO
see him self-supporting will not fail TO
back him up. Besides, in case Of unlock
ed for reverse, he has, in the Railroad |
Company, creditor who can afford to
wait, and who will grant every indulgence
to a boy who has begun so well. I'll

would inevitably have been swept away
by the flocd, for their fishing gronnd was
TO have been low island from which no
retreat was possible. and which was swept
almost past recognition by the rcslstless
torrent.
Hugh McGee, lad of 13. with sew.
eral others climbed into an apple tree
from which he was awept off, and carried
nearly half mile, and landed in a wood
en- cove, unharmed, save few slight
bruises. The other occupants Of the tree
persisted, after clinging to particles Of de-
brls for some distance.
To the incidental escapes should be
added the experience of Mrs. Il. g. hub.
bard. She had gone across the street for
some milk, so that when the warning came
she was able to gain the hill in safety,
while her husband and Mrs. Herrick
Wood and daughter of Chlcopee were
lost.
Like oil great caamities, the situation
had its humorous incidents. A carriage
maker, rho had lost every vestige Of his
establishment, save his sign and trukeu
carriage, with grim humor announced
his business over the shattered dash
board.
The more one sees of the scenes the
more desolatc it appears. Nearly every
tree in the course Of the torrent is filled
with shl eds Of clothing which the cruel
branches stripped from the helpless people
whom the flood swept by, and the trees
themselves are stripped by the torren: of
their bark, and from trunk TO twig are left
as naked anu white and scathed as the
corpses of those they have crushed and
bruised. Above Williamsburg were about
ID acres Of the finest meadow land in
Hampshire County, which, before the
flood, were worth 5000 an acre; now.
nothing but the bare granite is left, and
the land could not be given away. There
is hardly bit of meadow on the line Of
the river, from the reservoir to the Flor.
ence, which is not hopelessly ruined.
Twenty-Five bridges in all have been car
ried away by the flood.
Some idea of the vast amount of soil
washed away by the breaking of the res
ervoir may be obtained from the fact that
upward of four inches of solid earth depos-
it was left on the carpets of houses, the
floors of which were flooded by water only
two feet in depth. This amount Of sedi-
ment gathered where the water was in the
rooms scarcely fifteen minutes, probably
half the sediment held in solution being
carried away with the retiring flood. The
huge deposits on the meadows, showing
like desert on every hand, also indicate
the vast amount Of earth and sand swept
from the valley above The farm of John
+. Warner, located abou, midway between
Florence and Leeds, suffered damage by
the flood to the amount Of So. 600.

DECORATION.

"MandibUs date lila plenis."
Mid the flower wreath d tombs l stand
Bearing lilies in my hand.
Comrades! in what soldier-grave
Sleeps the bravest of the brave?
Is il he who sank to rest
With his colors round his breast?
Friendship makes his tomb shrine;
Garlands veil it; ask not mine.
One low grave, yon trees beneath,
Bears no roses, wears no wreath;
Yet no heart more high and warm
Ever dared the battle-storm,
Never cleaned prouder eye
In the front of victory,
Never foot had frmer tread
On the field where hope lay dead,
Than are hid within this tomb,
Where the INTENDED grasses bloom;
And no stone, with leign'd distress,
Mocks the sacred loneliness.
Youth and beauty, dauntless will,
Dreams that life could ne'er fulfill,
Heie lie buried; here in peace
Wrongs and woes have found release.
Turning from my comrades eyes,
kneeling where woman lies,
| strew lilies ON the grave
Of Of the bravest of the brave.
