THE ROMANCE or WAR
FEMALE HER0IsM ON THE BATTLE
FIELD-DY.NG FOR THE POPE.
T Boston uerald.1

Tie battle fought at kazclcvo on
Sept. 6, tor possession If the line
of the Black Lom, was marked by
All episode so brilliant with romantic
heroism that the world should not
be willing to let it die.
The Russians had fortified their
position with triple line of en-
trcnchmcnts. Both the strength
and tue Importance of the post
were undemable. Thus the Turks
had their work cut out for them,
and found it surprisingly hot. The
first intrenchmcnt was won by a
short struggle, but the second line
proved stubborn barrier. Wave
after wave of the Ottoman infantry
dashed against it ir vain. Ever, as
the ass;,i!ants drew near, and the
assailed showed signs of faltering, a
young Mnscovite officer, who stood
in rear of one of the batteries,
would rally the disrnayed defenders,
and hold them firmly TO their hope
less task. His sword could be seen
waving amid the thickest smoke
wrcatlls. His voice stirred the
heart like a trumpet. lie was a
man TO lead herd of deer to bat
tie. Cgcr and over again, the in
spiration of his splendid bravery
checked the flood of retreat, and
hardened it into untiinching re.
sistance. At last the attack became
overpowcring. The Turkish fire
grew SO murderous that flesh and
blood could bear it no longer
Tken the advancing Ottomans saw
a sight strange TO war. The Rus
sian soldiers fell on their knees
before the officer and begged him
to accompany them in their flight.
Not he; not a foot. They might
save themselves since they would ;
but his was life to be kept or lost
upon the field. So they left him;
and for minute, by one OF the
chances OF battle, he stood nnbarncd
amid the hail OF bullets, fronting
his fate alone. At last death
touched him, and he fell. As the
assailants swept forward to carry
the inner works, the Ottoman
colonel, a soldier every inch Of
him, stopped before the body oi
h;s gallant enemy and out of such
matchless intrepidity, gave orders
that the fallen hero should he laid
in separate grave. After the fight
the Turks came to bury the body
Then they found that the Russian
officer was girl. There she lay
like Nicanor, dead in her harness

finally built his own line to the sea-
coast, and went OH his work independ-
emily. During the first forty-six
miles this great Oroya line climbs up
5000 feet. In the next sixty miles it
mounts 10000 feet more. 1t winds
along the edge of precipices it leaps
from cliff to cliff by bridges that seem
to hang in the air it pierces the
mountains by series of sixty three
tunnels, at the average distance of two
miles apart; and at the summit. To-
645 Feet above the sea, it cuts through
the rock by tunnel of nearly 1000
feet. The iron riaIuct of Agna de
Vcrrugas springs SIG feet across a
chasm 253 feet deep. After ascend
ing grade of 1875 toa2l1 feet to the
mile for twcnty-three miles, the line
reaches the chasm of La Infiernilli, a
fissure 1900 feet deep, with sides as
smooth rs mason work, and the torrent
Of the river Rimic at the bottom
The railway crosses this gorge 200
feet above the river by bridge OPEN
ing into 4 tunnel at each end. In
driving these tunnels the workmen
were lowered by ropes from the top Of
the cliff. and hanging in that way
they hammered at the face of the rock
until they had cut themselves standing
room.
One of the objective points of this
railroad was the famous silver mines
of the Cerro de Pasco, formerly the
richest in the world, but long since
flooded and neglected because of the
difficulty of reaching them with heavy
machinery. Mr.. Meiggs had recently
entered into new contracts with the
Peruvian Government for opening and
working these mines, and it was but
the other day that we received a tele-
gram from London announcing that
the engineers estimated the amount OF
the silver already made available in
this worldfaInous region by Mr..
Meiggs's explorations, or to be made
so available, at S25O,OOO, 1000.
Personally Mr.. Meiggs was a man
of striking presence, of kindly and
even gentle manners, and of most re-
markable liberality and bcnevolence.
His residence in Lima was the seat OF
q literally unbounded hospitality, and
he was foremost in all the socia
amusements and charitable enter.

only of one son and one daughter

A Much Better job.

One of the Methodist ministers of
Rochester, New York, Rev. Mr.. L.,
was, few days ago, called up by a
German, whose wife had just died, and
who requested him to conduct the
funeral services. Brother with his
usual urbanity consented, of course, and
the services were held with due decorum
and solemnity. After the funeral was
over the forlorn widower stepped up to
the minister, and the following dialogue
ensued:

All the best figs (says a writer in a
contemporary which are imported for
the English market grow in Smyrna. At
the proper season they are gathered,
dried, packed and shipped. Our cargo
consisted principally of figs. Early on
the morning of our second day out, be-
ing aroused by the holystoning of the
deck, awoke. Slowly L became con-
scious of some object on the wall op-
posite to me. 1 stared at it. Yes, it
was certainly something alive. 1t came
to standstill, poised itself on its tail,
and curving its body, advanced its full
length. 1t was a maggot like those in
filberts, but almost as large as silkworm.
Not far off was another and another, and
many more. Then there flashed into my
recollection how one of the officers OF
the ship had uttered something of certain
mysterious friends that might be expectd
to arrive with the figs, and how he
had been frowned into silence, and that
somehow the word maggot" had been
uttered.
Then it was true, and here they were
by scores. All through the voyage we
suffered from these inoffensive but disgust.

us all, for our berths were infested by
them. As every fig produced maggot
it may be readily believed that theil
number was legion. For the most part
they made their exit during the voyage
to England. But am told that families
of grocers are painfully aware that some
of them remain prisoners for a long
period. Whether they increase in siz,
after leaving their native home, or wha
change they undergo, 1 did not learn
1t was mystery how the creatures mad

GLOAN NOF THE WIMBLE.

The indianapolis Saturday Herald publishes the
following verses, written by Abner Tompkins, from
" Hospital for the insane" and dedicated to Ed
mund Lear:
List the gay laugh of the wmble-wig
As dewdrop he bolts at one fall swig,
While he rolls his entomologic eye
Scanning the weather that turks in the sky,
And also specimen butterfly.
As on velvet wing
It would by him sw ing,
He skilfully skewers the dazzling thing.
" Pm primo don," sang the wimble- Wig,
As he hung and swung on the nimble-twig.
And ratified six sweet SUNNI sr songs in his throal-
Jumbling and tumbli lg up every note
Together like eg IS in the dish called float,
Till the shrsds were caught,
And he held them taut;
Tying up all in tunefu knot.
This is the song of the wimbls-wig,
As he hung and swung on the tremulous twig,
At the very tptop Of the tragacanth tree,
With his beetling beck to the silver sea
Aud his feathered legs twinkling gIeefully
As he swung to and fro
On prehensile toe,
Piping the stave append below
Come gaze on the genuine wimble-wig
While he dances the boorio-boola jig,
With the liam salaam and the gingery gwot,
The Sycamore swing and the cutlery quat;
And the mixed muldoon and xantique xwat,
With yellow glow
On the azure snow
Sixpence above and samphire below.

NUMBER 50
Execution Of Lee.

On the 10th ofSeptember, 1857, nearly
and treacherous massacIes occurred that
has ever disgraced American history.
1t is known and will ever be remembered
as the Mountain Meadows massacre.
The scene of horror was Washington
County, Utah Territory. One hundred
and twenty men, women and children of
an Arkansas emigrant train were cruelty
put to death by company of Mormols
and Indians acting under tie orders Of
the Mormon Church authorities, who,
at the time, ruled the consciences of
taeir followers as despotical!y as ever did
noted hierarchy in the dark ages.
OF the entire company but seventeen
small children, too young to retain vivid
impressions of the scene and actors, and
who were therefore harmless for the
future, were spared. The emigrant
train was plundered, and the bodies of
the victims rifed, and the spoils pub
icly sold in Cedar City for the benefit
of the church of which Brigham Young
is the priest and prophet. The massa-
ere was conducted under the cover of a
flag OF truce, and the bloody wretehes
participating in it nerved themselves to
the dreadful work by engaging in prayer.
The story has been often told, and is too
familiar to need repetition. For twenty
years justice has seemed to sleep on the
track of the murderous wretches; but ON
March 23d John D. Lee, who acted as
the leader of the Mormon expedition,
expiated his share in the massacre by
being shot to death at the scene of his
crime. Lees last statement is full OF
promise ofstartling revelations. He has
left an autobiography, which will be
published for the benefit of his family,
in which he gives complete history OF
| the Mormon church from the time of the
Nauvoo massacre up to date. In that he
says facts are given which, if followed
up by the District-Attorney, will suffice
to pull down more than one man high in
the councils of the Latter-day Saints
There can be no question, there is nc
question, that Brigham Young himself
was cognizant of, connived at, and
rofted by the massacre. In the inter
ests of justice it is to be hoped that the
execution of Lee may be but the first o.
series of trials and punishments which
shall not stop until all the guilty parties
have suffered for their share in the his
torical horror. The best solution of the
Mormon question would be rigorous
punishment of the Mountain Meadows
murderers under the law which finally
overlook John d. Lee It is scanda
upon the government of the United
States that its hand has not long age
been heavily laid upon the colossa
criminal who is the nominal head of this
relic of barbarism.
