his stirring and peril0us adventures and
hair-breadth escapes rs he heard the recital

described him a six feet one inch in height,
his weight POO pounds, his complexion
dark and swarthv. features bold and manly,
and his hands and feet uncommonly large
his thumbs being as large a an ordinary
mans wrist. Such was his personal
strength that he could easily shoulder a can
non weighing 100 pounds, and he had seen
him take a man in his right hand, pass over
the floor and dance his head against the
ceiling with as much ease as if he had been
a doli-baby. The mans weight was 195
pounds. Partaking of the patriotic enthu-
siasm of the times he entered the Ameri-

Stony Point, and was the first soldier, after,

Mr.. Labouchere on Low Dresses.

LOHOoA 1Iulu-
The Aldershot Steeplechase ball was well
attended, but remarkable only for two
things-the extreme badness of the supper
arrangements. especially in the paucity Of
walters, and their paGcity of civilty, and
the want of dress on the part of some of the
fair guests there assembled. Times are hard
and money is 'short," we all know, and this
may account lor the extraordinary economy
of materials in the bodies of some dresses,
which may really be described as being very
low indeed, in all the senses of the word.

A Song fOr Hancock.

When l was a lad, | went to school,
Where Uncle Sam sends many a fool:
| polished up my buttons, and swept
my room,
For which | was rewarded by a Demo
cratic boom.
! polished up my buttons so carefullee
That now | am the leader Of the De-
mocrasee.
In right-about face ! made such a mark,
That they gave me the post OF an Adju-
tant clerk;
served the Ad. with a smile so bland
And copied all the letters in Il big
round hand.
III right-abouG face | was so free,
That they made me the leader Of the
DelnOcrasee.
AS a white cadet, | made such aname,
Thata pet ofthe South | soon became:
| wore white gloves auda bran new suit
At the bottom of my class at the lnsti-
tute;
So they dropped all their issues, and
nominated me,
And now | an leader of the Democ-
rasee.
My political ignorance became so great,
That they took me up as Il candidate;
So why shouldn't obey thu party call,
Since | shall never have to think for
myself at all;
| knew so little that they rewarded me,
By making me the leader of the De-
mocrasec.
OF civil life know no more
Than Tilden knows of military lore,
So they abandoned him and his great
"reform," 49,
And fed to me-"any port in a stoim!'
They abandoned all their leaders,
and begged Of me
TO come and be the leader Of the De-
mocrasec.
In the Union wal l fought so well
That my name is greeted with ''the
rebel yell"
Of a oman on horseback they had
such q fear
That they nominated mc-which is
rather queer.
Twas n right-about face TO nominate
me,
And now | am the leader Of tho De-
moCrasee.
Now, Americans all, whoever you may
be,
IN rive YOU a bit Of stratngee;
Never no to any but a military school
And be careful to be guided by this
Democratic rule
Keep away from the polls, and let
politics be,
And you may be leaders OF the De-
moCrasee,
