RI COULD KEEP HEB So.
sY LOUISE CHANDLER Nou1roN.


just a little baby, lying in my arms
Would thst 1 could keep You, with your baby
charms
Helpless, cIinging, fingers, downy, golden hair,
Where the sunshine fingers, caught from other
where,
Blue eyes asking questiona lips that cannot speak,
Roly-poly shoulders dilnples in your cheek;
Dainty little blossom, in a world Of woe,
Thus tain would keep you, for love you so.
RogUish little damsel, scarcely six years Old
Feet that never weary, hair Of deeper gold
Restless busy fingers, all the time at play,
Tongue that never ceases talking all the day;
Blue eyes learning wonders OF the world about,
Here you come to tell them-what an eager shout
WiEsome little damsel, all the neighbors know
Thus long TO keep you, fer 1 love you 80.
Sober little school girl with your strap of books,
And such grave Importance in your puzzled
looks;
Solving weary problems, poring over sums.
Yet with tooth for spODge-cake and for sugar.
Reading books of romance in your bed at night,
Waking up to study in the morning light;
Anxious as to ribbons, deft to tie bow,
Fond OF eontTad1ctions-I would keep you SO.
Sweet and thoughtful maiden, sitting by 10 side,
All the worlds before you, and the world is wide
Hearts are there for winning, hearts are there tc
break,
Has your own, shy maiden, Just began to wake?
Is that rose OF daWning glowing your cheek
Telling US in bushes what you will not speak
Shy and tender maiden, would fsin forego
All the golden future, just to keep you so.
Ali the listening angels saw that she was fair,
Ripe for rare unfolding In the upper tr;
Now the rose of dawniBg turns to lily white.
And the close shut eyeids veil the eyes from sight
All the past summon, as kiss her brow
Babe and child and maiden, all are with me now
On my heart is breaking but Gods love know
SAFE among the angels, he will keep her so.

NAPOLEON KILLED.
Horrible Death of the Prince Imperial a

Horrible Death of the Prince Imperial at
the Hands of the ZuIus.
Tue following are additional particu>
lars of the death of the prince imperial:
The body of the prince when found lay
on its back. There were eighteen asse-
gai stsbs in it, two Of them piercing the
body from the chest to the back, two
inside, and one destroying the right eye.
a locket with hair medallion and relie-
quar- were found around his neck. The
ace wore placid expression. He had
evidently Intellectually tried to mount,
the leather of the flap breaking. The
troopers lay near the body, both asse~
gated. The prince was very adventur-
GUS. An official account says: The
prince, with lieutenant Carey, of the
ninety-eight regiment, six men and one
friendly Zulu, left the camp at Kelitze
mountain, seven miles beyond Blood
river, on the first instant, for a recon
noissance. The party halted and unsad-
died when ten miles from the camp.
Just as the prince gave the order
to remOunt, q volley was fired
from ambush in the long grass.
Deserted by his companions, lieutenant
Carey and four of the troopers, returned
to the camp and reported that the prince
their statements there could be no doubt
that the prince was killed. A party of
the Seventh LanceTs with an ambulance
started on the 2nd instant 10 recover the
body of the prince, which was found and
brought in on the same day.
A special dispatch says: At daybreak
q cavalry patrol under General Marshall
left to search for the prince, and went to
Krsals, ten miles further on. The body
was discovered among the long grass,
three hundred yards from Krsal. There
was no bullet wound, but, seventeen
assegai wounds were in the front of the
body. The clothes had been taken, but
round the neck was chain with locket.
A stretcher oflances was formed and the
body borne by General Marshall and
officers Drury, Lowe and Stewart, of the
Seventeenth Laucers 70 meet the ambu-
lance, b which it WIS then brought
hither with an escort. There was
a funeral parade in the afternoon.
| Deep 5orToW prevails throughout the
column. The prince did not mount
after the sttsck, his horse being restive,
| but ran sfoot. The corpse viii leave
with sn escort for transportation home~
ward. Another special from south
| Africa says: The prince imperial had
been sent forward by the qRartermaster
general to select site for the next camp.

and sought safety under cover. Ihe

The czarowitz, the heir to the Russian
crown, mixes freely with the people. He is
not afraid of the nihilists. and is said to be
in no danger from them.
Cremation in Paris is being. seriously
considered by the municipal council, and it
is proposed to establish an experimental ap,
pacatus at Pere-la Chaise.
Spain has demanded satisfaction from
San Domingo for shooting two generals at
Puerto Plata who sought the protection of
the Spanish representative.
An old resident of Zululsnd saws that
the Zulu king has thus far received no in
jury at all from the English. His sole
wealth lies in his crops and his cattle-he
has gathered the former aud kept the latter.
Some of his warriors have been killed, but
then he loses certain number every year,
either by massacreing them himself or by
their flight into Natal. He has gained enor-
mously in arms and ammunition captured
during the war.
In 1649 there were two sisters OF

THERE is something very fascinating
about the regular first-class bicycle as it
rolls along so swiftly, silently and easily.
The rider, perched over the high wheel,
appears to use no more effort than in
walking at a gentle pace, and yet be
covers the ground at a famous rate.
In fact at long distances a bicycle-rider
can outstrip horse or man with the
greatest ease, and it is probable that in a
short time he can beat the swiftest trot-
ting horse in a single mile heat. Two
hundred and twenty miles have been
ridden on bicycle in sixteen and hall
hours without a dismount; the best
record for single mile is 2:4S, and the
greatest distance made in an hour is Ie
miles 487 yards.

before the dinner hour, ne presented

Here he met two soldiers carrying cal

kettle was at once deposited on the floor.

Apropos of the sayings of the little
ones, / am reminded of an incident
which touched me very much at the
time, and may find q responsive
chord in the hearts of some who are
parents. I was sitting on my porch on

wish. We.sre perhaps, ali too ready, 70

4 week after the magistrate was in
the utmost perplexity. Three new ex~
aminstions had not enabled him to form
an opinion. Were Tarct and his wife
innocent Or were they simply mar
velousiy clever in maintaining probable
table2 The magistrate knew not what
to do, when one morning q strange runner
reached his ears. The house OF Jandid~
cir had just stopped payment. A detec-
tive who was set to work brought back
the most startling news.
Monsieur Jandidier, who had been
considered so wealthy, was ruined, Mt.
terly ruined, and for three years he had
sustained his credit only by means of
various expedients. He had not thou
sand francs, and notes falling due at the
end OF the month amounted to sixty
seven thousand five hundred francs.
The cautious merchant speculated in
stocks. The magistrate had Just learned
those particulars when Maitre MaglOire
appeared, pale and painting for breath.
You know, monsieur ?" he cried,
from the threshold.
"Allp
Tarot is innocent"
{" l believe him 60; and yet that visit
how do you explain that visit 2'
Magloire shook his head sorroWfullY.
6 I am only a fool" said he, "and
Lecoq has just proved it. Monsieur
JandidIer spoke of his life insurance at
the Cafe Ture. This was the key to the
affair. Jandidier was insured for two
hundred thousand francs, and French
companies don't pay in case of suicide.
Don't you understand 2"
Thanks to Monsieur Gustave Schmidt,
who will marry Mademoiselle Theresa
Jandidier next month; the house of jan
didier has not gone into bankruptcy.
Tarot and his wife, restored to liberty,
have been established in business by the
same Monsieur GUstave, and no longer
go ple&suring on Mondays. But what
became of Monsieur Jandidier? A
thousand francs reward to whoever will
give news of him.

A WRITER in the Capital tells this
story OF the old turfman, Col. w. b.
johnson, who "knew horse from the
ground up: One of Col. Johnson's
achievements on the turf was at Gam
den, New Jersey, after his horse, Blue
Dick, had been beaten three times by
Fashion. He was bantered to enter bis
horse once more, and having repeatedly
declined, was told at last by some one
something to the effect that Fashion
could, of course, beat the horse, but that
to make the race, and in the interest of
the turf, he should consent to run him
again. "The mare can certainly beat
the horse" said the colonel, and 1
have done enough to enter him three
times; but i you insist on a race 1 will
bet $4,000 that the mare can not beat
him by ten feet" This was such q close
calculation on beaten horse that it did
not take five minutes to raise the
$4,000. The mare won the first heat
by six feet, and the second by seven and
aqusrter; and this was Justly considered
piece "a cling work wherein perfect
knowledgeo horsehesh, and subtle call
culation); circumstances and respective
powers OF he two animals, overcame
chances and made the bet certain.

THE British government has been getN
ting rid rapidly of its women telegraph
clerks. For two years no women have
been engaged as clerks in the telegraph
department, and the government has
closed the women's branch of its tele-
graph school. It is also stated in the
Lendon News that the work of the
women clerks who remain is made in
creasingly severe. No publicity has at
tended the changes made by the govern
ment lin the clerkships, and they are
now brought to notice by communica-
tions to the press. It would be of pub
lie interest to know why the discharges
have been made, and what are the faults
of the women which disqualify them for
telegraphic service.

money that has been made in the south by
the recent furry in cotton speculatioDs,
There is scarcely a village which does not
furnish its man who has made $1,000 to
100000. Col. Sam Rice, of Montgomery,
probably leads the list with a cool $500, 900;
but there are several, two at least in Savan-
nah and one in Rome, who are said to have
made from $4,000 to 100000. Albany fur
nishes modest dealer who picked up S22,-
500. In Savannah, almost every dealer, of
hundreds OF dabblers. made largely. The
Augusta News is authority for the statement
that man who didn't make as much as
5000 is kicked out of the exchange. We
know of one railroad man who cleared
81 900 without knowing he had any sort of
chance, and of one newspaper man who
wished to make $250O0O. The gains in New
Orleans are immense, it being said that that
city pulled in $4,000, 600 in cool cash. One
of the fine features of all this gain, by the
way, is that it comes in cash, and is paid
without any long delay.
