Tho Death of De Kalb.

Above them all lowered tho gallant Ger
man at their head. His sword WAS stained
deepest, his batlle,cry rang clearest; there
was triumph in the keen fash of his eye-if
not the vic:or's triumph, the triumph OF duty
done Three times he led his willing men to
tho charge. Three times they were forced
back by superior numbers. Fer numbers
began to tell. His horse was shot under him.
His head WIS laid open by sabre>stroke.-
Jsquette, the adjutant of the Delaware reg-
imeut, bound up the wound with his scarf,
and besought him to withdraw from the fight.
Without needing the appeal, De Kalb led
the charge on foot. Wound followed wound.
but he held his ground desperately. AT last,
concentrating his strength in a Hnal charge.
Cornwals came on. The Marylanders broke.
De Kalb fell bleeding from eleven wounds,

hardened by the fierce spirit of battle. Tho
furious English raised the helpless warrior
from tho ground and leaning him against

CORVALLIS and his suite rode up. They found
him already stripped to his shirt, and with
the blood streaming from eleven wounds. II

The Great Wall of China.

The great wall Of China was measured in
many places by MT. Tfnthank, an American
engineer, lately engaged on q survey for
Chinese railway. His measurements give
the height at 3 feet, and a width on top of
Is feet. Every few hundred yards there is
a tower q feet square, and from 20 to 45
feet high. The foundation Of the wall is of
solid granite. MIR. Unthank brought brink
from the wall, which is supposed to have
been made 200 years before the time Of
Christ. In building this immense stono
fence 10 keep out the TartArs, the builders
never attempted to avoid mountains or chasms
to save expense. For 1900 miles the wall
goes over plain and mountain, and every
foot of the foundation is in solid granite, and
the rest of the structure solid masonry. In
some places the wall is built smooth up
against the bank. or canyons, or precipices.
where there is a sheer descent OF 1000
feet. Small streams are arched over. but in
the larger streams the wall runs to the wster's
edge and n tower is built on each side On
the top Of the wall there are braastIorks, or
deienses, facing in and ont, 80 the defend-
ing force can pass from one tower to another
without being exposed to the enemy from
either side To calculate the time of build
ing or cost Of this wall is beyond human
skill. So far as the magnitude Of the work
is concerned. it surpasses anything in ancient
or modern times Of which there is any trace.
The pyramids of Egypt are nothing compared
to it London NeIrs.

Trials OF Newspaper Men.

One Of the greatest trials Of the news
paper profession is that its members are
compelled to see more of the shams Of the
world than any other profession.
Through every newspaper Office, day after
day. 90 all the weaknesses of the world;
all the vsnities that want to be pulled; all
the revenges that want 10 be reaped; all
the mistakes that want to be corrected; all
the dull speakers who want TO be eloquent
all the meanness that wants to get its
wares noticed gratis in the editorial coll
umns; all the men who want TO be set
right who were never right all the crack
Drained philosophers with stories as long
as their hair, and as gloomy as their fin
gernails in mourning bereft of sosp-ali
the bores who come to stay five min
utes, but talk five hours.
Through all the editorial and reportorial
rooms, all the follies and shams Of the
world are seen day after day, and the
temptation is to believe in neither God,
man nor woman. It is no surprise to me
that IN this profession there are some
skeptical men; only wonder that jour-
nslists believe snything.-[De WITH Tai

A Thrilling Romance.

CHATTER I.-She stood beside the al
tar with wreath OF orange buds upon
her head-upon her back the richest kind
Of buds.
Her lover stood beside her, with white
kids and dicky clean, the last was twen-
ty-one years old, the first was seventeen.
The parsons job was over, every one
had kissed the bride, and wished the
young pair happiness, and laughed and
danced and cried.
The festive scene was ended, the las,
words had been said, the happy maid
had simmered down, the last guests had
fled.
CHAPTER II-She stood beside the
wash-tub, with her red hands in the suds,
while at her slip-shod feet there lay a
pile Of dirty buds.
Her husband stood beside her, the
crossest man alive; he was twenty>nine,
and she was twenty-five.
The heavy wash was over, and the
clothes hung up to dry, and Thomas had
stuck his fiager in the dirty baby's eye.
Tom had been scolded, and supper
made upon crust Of bread and the
happy wife and husband went grumblinp
of to bed.

Col. John A. Joyce, has been released
from the Missouri penitentiary, but has
been compelled TO give bond for his ap-
pesrsnee in case the courts may need him
again. We have ON several occasions ad-
vocsted the release of Joyce, not because
we did not think him guilty Of then, bu,
because all the other rascals were turned
loose upon the community and he was
made the ape-goat for them. Joyce
knew too much for the ring and they had
him tried first and put out OF the way,
where he could not sppear against them.
Its probable that he may tell some
thing of the true inwsrdness of the whis-
ky ring when the trial OF Mckee comes
of. We presume Joyce feels like Pent
up Vesuvius, and longs for an opportuni'
ty to pour out his bhtning lava let il

II is said that Jordan, the New York
Greenwood drummer, recently met with
the following rather amusing experience
in his extensive travels. On going to
hotel in one Of our large oities, he was
assigned to a room previously partly oc>
cupied. After being shown the way by
the polite and accommodating clerk, be
went to his apartment, found the door
open. candle dimly burning on the cen-
tertable. and the only bed in the room
occupied by the stranger who was to be
his room mate for the night The un-
known man seemed to be taking his rest,
and not wishing to disturb him, Jordan
quietly disrobed himself. and said his
prayers, blew out the candle and went to
bed. Before he had quite fallen TO sleep
he was somewhat startled by the entrance
of young gentleman and lady who re-
lighted the candle and soberly seated
themselves in @ corner Of the room in
full view Of the hero Of this incident
The intruders chatted away in sugges-
tive affectionate manner, just as lovers
always do. The novelty Of the situation
seemed TO HAYS its effects upon them, and
after sundry comments Of the weather,
the latest gossip and the small society
talk. the pair settled down to business
All this time Jordan was an interested
listener. and he was prepared for the
kisses which fell upon the willing lips Of
the fair inamorata. He hunched his
bed-fellow with his elbow, but the stran-
ger slept on. Then followed by a scene
of affectionate demonstrations between
the couple in the corner. Jordan deter>
mined to wake his unknown friend so
that be might see the fun. Raising his
hand he land it on the face OF the uncon>
scious sleeper, and then his hair, in holy
horror, stood on end The face was cold
and elammy-he was sleeping with a
corpsel Shooting up straight through
his canopied couch, Jordan appeared be-
fore the startled pair veritable ghost.

down the stairway in alright, closely |
followed by the unwilling author Of this
startling escapade The clerk had played |

to have been very ludicrous when the
