ANOTHER SOHENCK SCANDAL.

A CONTRACT FOR TIE SALE OF MR.. sCHENCKs DIP
IOMATIC sERYICES-WHAT MR.. sCHEECK DID
ABOUT 1T.
The following documents which have recently
been given 10 the public show that in 1871 Norman
Wizard agreed with Juan n. MachadO to aid him i'll
securing payment of claim Of $350,000 against
the British Government by the agency of Gen.
Schenck Wizard TO receive One-thrd Of the proceeds
if The claim should be scttl0d through Gen, SchcncEs
ncg0tations, but nothing if the decision should be
brought about by other agencies. 1t also appears
that when Gen. Schenck was informed by Wizard OF
this arrangement he agreed TO do what he could, and
only regretted that his name should have been used
in the contract. At the time of the transaction
Schenck and Wizard were partners in the manutac-
ture of ordnance, and Wizard held power of attor-
ney from Gen. Schenck, though it referred only TO
matters connected with the partnership.

With swift motion she seized the
WEAPON, wrenched it from his grasp,
and as she came down the cabin to the
table at which the gambler sat, and
around which half dozen men vet
fingered, her blue eyes were full of
fire.
The gambler looked up.
The hammer of the revolver came up
with double click.
A white arm stretched out, and
the muzzle of the revolver looked
straight into the gamblers face.

Foot by foot he backed across the

The arm came up a little, and the
light from the cabin showed him a cool
strange, determined look on her face.
He turned about, sbivered, and was
over the rail, leaping far out, and
unable to suppress cry Of alarm as he
felt himself going down.
The boat swept along, the arm fell,
and, re-entering the cabin, she sat
down, leaned her head on the table, aud
wept bitterly.
The passengers SAID she was a

first heard the song in Italy, a peasant
girl being the singer. The melody
struck his fancy, and entering into con-
versation with the girl, he asked her
for the name Of the song. She did not
know; but Payne, being something OF a
musician, requested her to repeat the
air, which she did, while he dotted
down the notes as well as he could.
The plaintive air continued to ''run in.

two stanzas, ana added two more.

Assails the storm rocks and the ioud tenpests rage
The How lies STILL while the dear dropping willows
Like fond weeping mourners, lean over the grave 3.
The hghtnings may flash, and the Loud thunders
rattle,
He heeds not he hears not he's free from all pain,
He sleeps his last sleep, he has fought his last batt
No sounds shall awake him to glory again.
Oh shades of the mighty where now are thy egions2
That rushed but to conquer when thou ledst them on;
Alas they have persisted in far distant regions,
And all the fame of their triumph has gone.
The lightnings may dash, and the loud thunders
rattle
They he's not, they hear not. they're free from all
pain,
They sleep their last sleep, they have fought their
last battle,
No sounds shall awake them to glory again.
Yet spirit tai, the tomb cannot bind thee,
For like the proud eagle. which scars to the SUM-
Thou springest from bondage, and leanest behind
thee Ht
name which, before thee, no mortal had won.

Though nations may canlba and loud thunders

No sounds shall awake thee to glory again.
