Tho Pay of tho French Soldier.

General De Cissey's tenure of the French
War Office has been marked by several uee-
tul reforms; the latest of these, though suf-
fciently humble in it's scope. is perhaps one
OF the most excellent. The pay Of the
French soldier is not liberal; in fact, after
deducting the expenses of his board, lodg-
ing, ETC., he receives precisely fifteen pence
a month. But even this wretched halt pence
q day was not all his own. There was a
compulsory subscription of four and half
pence month, which had to be paid either
to the sale barnes fencing club), or to the
sale de boxe or the sale de danse. In some
regiments soldier had to subscribe to two
of the clubs-tOtal, nine pence q month
quite independently Of his taste or want of
taste for dancing and la bore. Thus the full
French private could dispose of no more
than six pence month, OF exactly what his
English brother receives day, and NAV do
what he likes with. General De Cissey has
now decided that these contributions shall
be purely voluntary. Meanwhile, in order
that soldiers may not lack instruction in the
art OF self defense, without the aid of sword
or bayonet, single-stick drill is being intro
duced as regular military exercise into the
French army.

THE NATIONS RALLY.

Put your ear to the earth and you'll hear the
And the tread of gathering host,
As they come from the farm and the shop and
mill,
And the homes of the rock bound coast;
And the rolling uplaRds green with bloom
And the brlstling hills Of pines.
Where the hasalt columns ekywafd loom
From the fore SITS thick with vines.
Put your ear to tie earth. hOm the border land.
By the banks of the Arooetook;
Prom the Hampshire hills that in granite stand
By the flowing COntoOccok;
And from where away, in the old Pine State,
Are the oceans waves atrlay
IN the bright sunlight OF the moonbeams white,
On the shores OF Cape Cod bay.
On they come. still they comei you may hear their
tread
With tramp that seems to shake
The solid ground Of the Empire State
From the seaside to the lake;
In the pleasant dses of tine MOha wk's wales,
BY the peaks that cleave the sky,
By the Shawangunk and the SsIanac,
And the Hudson rolling by.
And We hear tine sound ike the waves inrolled,
On the shore when he wind is low;
They are coming in from the land of gold,
And Nevada's ri, stening snow;
From The prairies broad and the grass green Teche
Where the groves OF tho orange grow,
Whe re- the CO. ton buds and the pa ms are fresh
And the sluggish hay GUS TOW.
They are marching Vet " 18th the tramp Of men
That are nerved for conirg strife,
Not OF blood OF OF wounds as the light has been
But still for the nations life
For NOv6u Der comes ana cur votes decide

Governor Chamberlain's Plan.
A Washington special to the Cleveland

LeuuSF says.
Governor Chamberlain, of South Caro-
lima, is here, having come to consult the
President in regard to the recent massacre
there. He spent several hours at the White
House to day, detailed the whole circum-
stances to the President, and explained to
him what course he intended to pursue.
The President expressed the warmest in
terest, and assured the Governor of his
hearty support. Governor Chamberlaln's
plan is this: He intends, as soon as the cor
oner's inquest is concluded and a verdict
re ached, to arrest all OF those implicated in
the massacre who are residents of South
Carolina and have them tried at once. He
will ask requisition from the Governor of
Georgia for the persons of those from that
State who took part in the massacre, and if
it is refused he will refer the matter to the
President. 1t there is any resistance to his
authority in making the arrest of the South
CarOlinians, he is determined to use every
resource of the State to enforce the law. If
this will not accomplish their arrest he will
call for United States troops. The Governor
ls determined that this massacre shall end
negro killing in his State.

CUSTER.

BY n. v. biGNENs
Dsrinely gallant and coClly brave.
Fees to punish and friends 10 save,
Custer sweeps DER the prairie plain
Tracing the trail Of the savage train.
With him proudly three hundred ride,
Each hero, in martial pIide,
Thinking how deeds that must soon be done
May add to honors already won,
Sitting Bull with his braves around
War talk holds on the council ground
Cluster cometh,n cries Crazy Horse;
IL see already his manged corser
Eyeballs glare st the picture drawn;
Scouts are sent forth 1t early dawn,
And in ambush quiet the warriors wait
For red response TO their prayer Of hate.
Look to your rifles, quoth Sitting Bull
Deepen your w.r paint with tints OF Guli
Fresh at your girdles, exc set OF sun
New sca,ps shall babbie of foes undore.
"See TO 1T, braves, that Do whites escape;
Lat pale. IL CO d widows be clad IN Grape.
For ,hete who come hither in might TO clay
Must ne er see TIL dawn of another day.
On Custer sped with his gallant bard
Al brave as ever drew battle brand,
On on in a spirit OF knightly grace.
With the ight OF hope upon every face.
The trail grows fire sher the willy foe
Can not be far OF: We shall lay him low"
Such was the thought Of all Clusters men
A they nealed the an bush in grove and E en.
But they counted not Of the Thousands near,
The dusky thousands whose hellish cheer
SO soon shall greet them. With 9 shout and bound
In moment more they were compassedrcupd.
"Now God befrend US bold Cu. ter cried.
The battle rsged, al the crimson tide
Poured out in thousand streams Of gore,
To sink in the glebe, and then wall for more.
What laugh was that What a demon sound
A hundr ed redskins have gathered round
The fallen Custer and Crazy Horse,
With mocking shout, claims the bleeding corse.
All! never before did such deeds Of shame
Rise MP to darken the savage name,
And never was heard such demon glee
A when mutilation marked butchery.
No touch of mercy the redsl ms knew;
No single one Of the brave and true
That followed Custer was left to tell
The fate which his gallant force befell.
But never sga,n shall the roll Of fame
Be called, without mention Of Clusters name,
And tho brave three hundred shall ever be
Kin to those who fell at Thermopyla.
Historic pens shall the tidings tell;
The lyric bards shall the anthem swell
And mothers shall whisper in terms of pride
Row Custer and his three hundred died.

| ty first day OF December previous to such
thirty first day of May, after satisfying the
interest on its bonds, and contributions to
its sinking fund"
But, in violation of this contract with the
preferred stakeholder, embodied in his GER
titicate of stock, and of the provisions of
the second mortgage, which determined the
prlOrities OF the various securities OF the
company subsequent to the first mortgage,
the directors Of this company have issued
this equipment bond, and they are recog-
nizing the coupons as having propriety
over the preferred stock as a lien upon the
net earnings of the Company.
This report gives the following account
OF some financial operations which cost the
company considerable in the shape of q
large difference in interest:
'We also learned from the accounts of
the company certain facts in regard to the
issue OF these equipment bonds. which may
be OF interest, ii they are not of importance,
to the stockholders of the company. From
an account recently stated to the company
by. Mr.. Russell Sage, it appears that be-
tween the twentieth of June and the tenth
OF December, 1870, the president of the
company, Mr.. Butler, paid over to him
x2|O, 46S 5O, the proceeds, as we suppose, of
the $30O,O0O equipment bonds. On the
twenty eighth of December, 1870, as ap-
pears by Mr.. Sage's account, this money
had all been paid out for equipment, except
the SUM Of $4,000, which had been repaid
to Mr.. Butler, the president of the COM
pany. and the balance of $47 POI IS, which
remained in Mr.. Sage's hands. The whole
OF this last balance remained in Mr.. Sage's
hands year, and some portions of it for
more than two years, the average being q
year and four months; so that this sum of
money (S47 ,29l 55) remained in Mr.. Sage's
hands year and a third, upon which he
allowed interest at four per cent, while the |
company was paying eleven per cent for it |
IN the shape of coupons upon the equipment |

Serious Accident.

Charles Sharp, aged 16 years, living with
VIM. Nelson, one half miles north OF
Townsend, on the Delaware Railroad, met
with serious accident on Thursday night,
the 21st inst. He was returning home from
Townsend in company with another boy,
named Frank Hall, when half mile above
Townsend, was passed by the through
freight going north. Thinking the train
had passed, he stepped quickly back on thd
track, and was Instantly struck on the head
by log, knocked down, and two wheels OF
the log trucks passed over his ankle, crush
ing it horribly. Frank Hall ran back to
Townsend and told the sad story, when sew
eral citizens at once went to the spot and
conveyed the unfortunate lad to his home,
while others quickly summoned physicians.
Drs. Barr, Of aliddletown, and Parvis, Of
Blackbird, were at the house by the time
the lad arrived, and amputation was deem
ed necessary, and was performed on Satur-

A SOnsersa,Iler Erp0sed.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
1 was much surprised this morning in
looking over THE HERALD, to find that DR..
Ogle had been dismissed as physician at the
City Hospital, and that DR.. Shortlidge had
been appointed in his place.
This, of course, was done through politi-
cal preference.
Mr.. Editor 1 would like through your
kindness to make public what know of
DR.. Shortlidge politically. He told me that
he voted for Mr.. Greeley, afterwards he
professed to be Republican, and was APP
pointed by them physician at the City Host
pital, in 1875. Whilst there seeing that
at the next election that the Democrats
would come into power, he turned Demo !
crat again, and voted for Martin Farrell,
Now that the city has gone the other way;
he is again Republican. He complained
very much to me because Q Democratic
Hospital Committee had no confidence in
him, when he had voted the ticket, and
voted for Martin Farrell.
Mr.. Editor only state facts, leaving
your readers to make their own comments.

been fully repaired since the great break In
the canal has again broken through its
banks, and the marshes are all under water.
The bridge at the railroad over the Chesa-
peake andDelaware canal is at present writ

water is at least six feet above the founda-
tion on which the piers are built, and the
damage cannot be ascertained until the flood
su bsides, no trains will be allowed to cross
the bridge until everything is found to be
perfectly safe.

station is washed away.
A large arch of The dimentiOns of 15O

As the telegraph wires are not working
well below Kirkwood 1t is impossible to
ascertain tho full extent of the damages
done to the road below that point.
The Brandywine is very much swollen,
the water being far above the banks on
either side. Large numbers of persons
visited the Brandywine bridge yesterday to
take view of the stream.
B. The Christiana is also very high, and
the banks repaired during the early part of
the week are again broken.
