Anccdoic of General Otway.

A story is told OF this brave and gal
liant British officer which is worth putting
into print. Otway, for mcritorious con.
duct, had been raised to the rnnk OF
colonel; but il was au empty honor.
He was n plain, blunt man, without po'
litical influence, anil, Notwithstanding
his gallantry, inferior officers, with
friends in Parliament, were appointed
to regiments over his head, leaving him
without II command. His friends cn.
treated him to appeal to the king,
George ILL.,, stating his services, aud
pctitiOning for the recognition due them.
For time Otway resisted all these
opportunities but, ut length, when II
youthful scion Of nobility, who Ind
never swcllcd powder, was given fine
regiment, he resolved to make the ap.
peal. Accordingly he got the chaplain
Of the regiment towhich he was attached
to draw Il petition for him. The chap.
lain did the work checrfully. bcstowing
great care upon it, and when it was pre-.
pared he brought it to Otway, with the
information TINT all he would hnve to do
would be TO sign his name and present
it.
"But, chaplain" said the colonel,
after he had read the document, "you
seem to havo drawn this up for yourself
rather than for me. Do you sec how
you concluded it-'And your petitioner
will ever pry2' It's your place to pray,
not mine. 1t is my place to fight. We
must have this altered"
In vain was it that tho chaplain ex-
plaincd aud argued that he had drawn
up the petition in regular form.
Can't help it," said the blunt sol
licr. at is not for me to play the
hypocritc. I don't care to pray for tho
king, but I am bound to fight for him.
nj finally tho concluding sentence
of he petition was changed 80 rs to
read: "Aud your petitioner will ever
fight" In this form Otwny took it to
court, and presented it to the king.
George w,ls pleased with the novelty
of tho conclusion, and with the honest
bluntncss of the officer ind within u
week Otway was appointed to the COM
mand Of Il regiment.

A SclloOlbOy'S Death.

1t is impossible to read hc.cvidcncc

sequence Of injuries received from leap

room in the school, without Il feeling Of
sadness. The little culprit Ind been
confined iu the room with two others by

fault of "talking in school," At half
past four, when the pupils were dismiss

Halo Around the Sun.

Newspapers printed in Syracuse,
Utica, Schenectady and Troy, n. Y, in
Rutland, Vt, and Laconia, n. H., make
mention of remarkable halo around the
sun which was seen on late Sunday.
The Syracuse journal thus describes it
Shortly after ten o'clock Il complete
luminous circle around the sun, Of the
colors of the rainbow, was seen. and Mt
the same time, in the east II segment OF Il
brilliant rainbow, with another scarcely
less distinct i'll the south, aud, directly
overhead, several conccntric rings like
their counterpart, the main circle about
the sun, were also visible. This phc-
nOmcnon continued in much brilliancy
for about hnlf m hour, and for m hour
the halo about the sim WIS distinctly,
though less brilliantly, visible. During
Il part of the time, the suns disc was
trlverscd by vertical band OF white,
and the circle around the sun inclosed
TN elliptical band Of white whose cx-
tremo length extended from one inner
side to the other OF tho circle, northerly
and southerly. With the MD of II
smoked glnss these various bows were
distinctly To be seen, but to the naked
eye the spectacle w,ts oppressive. The
bows in the east md south were in oppo-
sitinn to the ring about the sun (liko the
ordinary rainbow, but only small part
of either Of the arches were visible.

>"'"Positor's Reflections ON an Extra
Rush OF Obituary Notices.

Yes, here It l. again.
I'm obituary every week.
oi some wealthy and wer.known dame.
Who was piOus and lOwly, aud meek
Her virtues now al 10 CNtol
Since her body is undor the sol
Though on earth she was called mtai and small
Her spirits asc ended 10 COL.
No good did she DO while here,
Twas the talk Of the whole village round,
But her soul went up with a prayer,
Whihe her body went into the ground.
IhN us well 10 speak good os the dead
No matter what failings they've had,
i a saying we often have read
For No one Is utterly bad.
But this whiting a whole hale columh
For people to read everywhere,
l. ike making a farce OF the >olemn,
And lying outright, fear.
