IT SEEMS that the Horton diff

vet over. The brother of the DIES

been lurking about tn" commune
tv and acting in a very suspicious
manner. On Monday last, they
..brokc out" in the village Of
Grand Ecorc in the dead Horton
stylc-witf' yells and firing PTS
tolls, and have since that time
threatened vengeance on those
who murdered Horton, offering
five hundred dollars to know the
man that ''puled trigger on him."
The three visited the house OF
Mr.. Henry 1Tyams during the
week, and their acts there were
very ,suspicious-although they
said that they wanted only the
niSto] Of the dead llnrtnn, which
tur. uvams knew nothing OF.

Mr. G.nrza, was openly threatened
with dea tn by them, and they de,

A Lion Story.

Some time ago, in Tunis, Sicilian of
Rinaldo's circus excited general admira-
ton by his manly beauty and feats of
strength. He was in the habit of over
coming a lion during the performance,
which, however, was trained to succumb.
The hey of Tunis, hearing of this, sent
him an offer of a thousand ducats if he
would kill lion which he possessed.
The proposal was accepted, and on the
day, appointed the hey and large COM
pany gathered round the pit where the
lion was kept. The beast had been there
three days without food, and was found
furious. The iron door of the pit opened,
but instead of the athlete, trembling
dog was thrown forward, which timidly
took refuge in corner. The lion, who
was at a distance, turned in surprise at
the humble intruder. His tail ceased to
lash his side, his roar ceased, and he sat
with paws extended, contemplating his
victim. Propelling himself forward upon
his belly, he finally made spring. The
dog, however, who had watched him with
vigilant eye, sprang in the opposite di-
rection. The lion seemed astonished at
missing his prey, but after rolling over
few times, made another jump, which was
also avoided. Pity for the dog induced
the hey to order cord to be lowered for
him; and while the lion was gyrating
preparatory to renewed spring the dog
intelligently seized the cord with his
teeth and was drawn up. As he ascend
ed, the lion sprang again, but was too
late. At this moment the Sicilian ap-
peared, calm and fearless. He was in
rich circus costume, and carried heavy
mace. He took his position in the same
corner previously occupied by the dog.
At first the lion did not perceive him but,
on turning, his eye expressed vague in
quietude. He slowly withdrew few
steps, watching his enemy with furtive
and sidelong glance. The Sicilian, on
the contrary, looked straight in his eye
and watched every movement. The lion
evidently had misgivings, but, impelled
by hunger, sprang upon the man with a
terrible roar. The Sicilian slipped aside
with agility, and before the paws of the
lion touched the ground, a violent blow
from the mace on the head laid him in
sensible. The mace was raised for the
death blow when the hey interposed. He
offered the man another thousand for the
life of the beast. 1t was accepted, and
the lion was allowed to recover.

A Chastity Picket Line.

Judge Rowe, writing to the Philadel-
phia Weekly Times, relates the following
incident of the night after the battle OF
Fredericksburg: "When, on the return
to Marye's Heights, the command first
filed in from the road, there appeared to
be a thin line of soldiers sleeping on the
ground to be occupied. They seemed to
make sort of row or rank. 1t was as
if line of skirmishers had halted and
lain down; they were perfectly motion
less; their sleep was profound. Not one
of them awoke and got up. They were
not relieved either when the others came.
They seemed to have no communicate
least none awake. Had the fatigues of
the day completely overpowered all of
them, officers and privates alike2 They
were nearest the enemy, within call of
him. They were the advance line of the
Union army. Was it thus that they kept
their watch, on which the safety of the
whole army depended, pent up between
the ridge and the riverg The enemy
might come within ten steps of them
without being seen. The fog was a veil.
No one knew what lay or moved or crept
a little distance off. The regiments were
allowed to lie down. In doing so, the
men made denser rank with those there
before them. Still those others did not
wsken. If you looked closely at the
face of any one Of them, in the mist and
dimness, it was pallid, the eyes closed,
the mouth open, the hair was disheveled,
besides, the stti tude was often painful.
There were blood marks also. These
men were all dead. Nevertheless, the
new corners lay down among them and
rested. The pail of night concealed the
foe now. The sombre uncertainty Of fate
the morrow. One was saved
from the peril of the charge, but he found
himself again on Marye's Hill, near the
enemy, face to face with the dead, sharing
their couch, almost in their embrace, in
the mist and the December night. Why
not accept them as bed fellows9 So they
lay down with the dead, all in q line,
and were lulled asleep by the monotony
Of the cries of the wounded scattered
every where"
