ruling authorities might otherwise have felt
of the crowds which he drew about him.
When the mighty fabric of the Roman en-

to pieces under the successive assaults of the
Goths and the Vandals and the Huns, many

deserts of Scythia; and it is interesting to
note what W As the relative value OF persons

The slave, as you may imagine, was very

terday, and last night about 8
o'clock heavy ice commenced run
ming here. Some of the fields pass
ing to-day look very dangerous to
water craft, but they are too rotten
to do much harm. The river this
morning was full from bank to
bank with gorge ice, drift and parts
of wrecks of flats and other water
craft. At 10 AN. two coal flats
passed down in the jam of ice, and
we noticed the wrecks of several
fishing and trading boats. Heavy
fields of ice lodged in the harbor
and crowded and rubbed hard
against the steamers James Howard
and Belle of Texas, but was too
rotten to doany harm. The heavi-

them miniature icebergS, kept in

ward the gulf. The Columbus

Field Marshal Won Moltki


When Field Marshal Won Moltke
was a simple colonel, he astonished
the members of his mess by regu-
larly taking ten Frederick d'ors out
of his pocket, at the beginning Of
dinner, and laying them beside bis
plate. Always after dinner he re-
.pocketed the gold, buttoned up his
coat, looked Sourly around and dis
appeared. 1t was resolved to ask
him the meaning Of his strange be-
hayior. "Well," he said, 81 have
noticed that from the time l entered
this regiment the conversation at
table has always turned on women,
or cards, or horse racing ; and l had
determined to make q present OF
the ten pieces of gold to the first
man who should start a sensible
subject. No one has yet earned
them"
