therefore it was his duty to run and
not tight!
The Prince never got mounted at all
| His horse was FESTIVE, and he wonld
not stand. He ran by the side of tn
beast. one hand holding the reins and
clutching the pommel, the other in the
camille of the saddle.
One Of the troopers, a Jersey man
passed him in this plight, shouting as
he passed;
"Dep,chez cous monsieur"
Presently lie was seen by trooper
who looked back, to lot 90 his grip Of
The saddle and fall back wards. the
horse escaping at hesdlong gallop
The trooper thought the Prince WAS
shot, but this was not so. The broad
band of leather, linking the hostlers
and crossing the pommel of tie saddle,
was what his right hand had been
clutchiug, as he strove to spring into
the saddle.
This had torn under the strain, and
so the Prince had lost his grip and
fallen backward. inspected the rents
next day, for the horse was brought
into camp, and found that the band
which had given away was made not Of
sound, stout leather, but of q wretched
substance that seemed brown paper.
And 80, in a sense, it was not the
Zalns that killed Prince Louis. but the
shoddy rascality of a firm of Woolwich
saddlers.
After the poor lad, in losing his
horse, had lost his last chance, he ran,
before the Zulus overlook him, nearly
two hundred yards, till he reached the
little grassy ravine. or donga, where We
found his body.
One of the troopers saw him disap-
pear into the hollow of the donga with
the Zulus close at his heels. He never
did emerge till we carried him out
feet foremost.
Had any man OF the party waited for
him in comparative safety in that donga,
and taken kim up behind him, there is
strong probability that he would have
been saved.
I have seen far more risky enter
prises crowned with success. But when
the Prince was being assegaied, the man
Who might have covered himself with
credit by a deed for the chance OF
which scores of men would burn, was
flying centre terre with panic at his
heart and words of abjectness ON his lips.
1t remains to be said, that after the
most careful inspection, I could find

Coinages of the Brain.

We sit down in some quiet nook on O
still day, when hardly sound may be
heard, and when the voices of the ontsr
world appear to be well-nigh hushed to
silence. and, favored by outward con-
ditions, We fall into q reverie. Alb
stracted from that outer world, image
after image is projected from within
outward upon our intelligence. which
occasionally may actually fancy it secs
wildly the objects it dispiays. or that
it hears the sounds which old memo
ries so clearly bring before it. A tune
hummed softly awakens thousand
memories; the singer Of olden days
comes before us in all the reality OF
existence; the surroundings are repro
duced with faithful exactitude; the
most trifing detail comes boldly into
the foreground Of thought; ribbon, .
bracelet, the pattern Of q carpet, the
hue Of dress-these. aud Thousand
other details are pictured out with
truest fidelity; and the story is acted
before our eyes so faithfully, that it is
with start of wonderment we suddenly
come back to the worksday world, to
fad sit was but waking dream"
Nor can we refuse TO consider the in
fuence of repetition and habit as pre-
dominating cause of such abstraction
and reveries. Who does net know the
dreamer" of everyday life. or it may
be the poet or poetaster, wrapt in q
mantle of thought which defes the
penetration of mundane things, and
within which he sees and hears q uni
verse of his own? A near graduation,
however, brings us within range of the
hsllucination and "illusion," where
the creatures and coinsges of the brain
are projected with more marked effect
and in holder relief than before. Now;
it is Satan tempting q Luther-a very
devil in the flesh, with whom the re.
ligionist oonverses and argues, whom
he defies loudly and presistently, and
at whose head the irate reforner throws
his ink horn-s proceeding typical, in
deed, of the extinction of many demons
Ivy the sweetness and light of pencil
and pen. Then it may be st. Anthony

College Poetry.

Oh, she wears sealskin sacque,
When it SHOWS;
And her stunning suit is black
As crows;
Short; and thinks it is a pity,
Charming, jolly, wise and witty;
Has a retrousse--so pretty
Little nose.
In her basket phaeton,
When il blows,
With her striking glasses on,
Out she goes;
And shes just as sweet as stately,
And she sits there so sedately,
With her checks and lips SO greatly
Like rose.
She plays Chopin, List and SPohr
For her beaux,
And she speaks Of" Pinafore"-
Heaven knows!
With a naughty" ID" and "Never!"
But she's awful nice and clever;
If she liked me I'd endeavor
Ts propose.

Their precious blood, though valDly she'd
Long az thy shore old ocean layes,
Wen bow with rev'rancc Ger our dead,
And bless the turf that wraps tltsir graves.
From Mexico to Maryland,
These graves ARE strewn Ike autumn leaves;
What though no mothers tender hand,
Upon their tomb a chaplet weavcs;
Nor wives, nor sisters bend above
The honored soldiers unmarked mound2
They are objects ofeteinal love
In consecrated Southern ground.
II recks not where their bodies lie.
BY bloody hillside, plain OF. river,
Their names are bright on famcs proud sky,
Their deeds of yalor live forever.
The song birds of the South shall sing,
From forest grand, and aowery stem,
And gentlest waters, murIniring,
| Unite to hymn their requiem
And spring will deck their hallowed bed
With types of.resurrcction's day.
And silent tears the night hath shed,
The mornings beam will kiss away.
Those heroes rest in solemn fame
On every field where Freedom bled;
And shall we let the torch Of shame
Fall like blight upon our dead
| No, wretch We seorn thy hatred now,
And hiss thy shame from pole to pole,
The brutes are better far than thou,
| And beasts would blush to own thy soul.
'rDishonored gravesn Take back the lie
| That's breathed by more than human hate,
Lest, Annaniaslikc, you die,
Not less deserving OF his fate.
Our Spartan women bow in dust
| Around their countrys broken shrine
True--as their cause was right and just
Pufe--as their deeds have been divine
Their angel hand tho wounded elieered-
| Did all that women ever dare,
! When wealth and homes had disappeared,
They gave their tears and smiles and prayers
They proudly gave their jewels up
For all they loved, as worthless toys;
Drank to the dregs tho bitter cup
To feed our sick aud starving boys.
Their glorious flag on high no more
4 Is borne by that unconquered band
'Tis fur!ed. Upon the silent shore,
Its heroes still aronpd it stand.
No more beneath its folds shall meet
The armies of immortal Lee;
The rolling of their drums last beat;

THE cox MURDER.

All the circumstances developed at
the inquest held over the body of Mr..
Fl. l.. Cox. who was killed on Friday,
the 9th inst, show that this was q cold
blooded murder.
1t appears that Mr.. Cox arose quite
early on the morning of his death to go
to the house of his son-in-law to get
some hands to pick bis cotton. Not
long after his departure his wife heard
the report of guns in the direction IN
which be had gone. She was expecting
q adifficulty between her husband and a
man named William Lemons, who was
living on Mr.. Cox's place, SO she instant.
ly surmised that something had hap
pened, ana sent her son to Lemons
house to ascertain the cause Of the shoot
ing. On reaching the place he found
Mrs. Lemons crying, but could learn
nothing from her. He instantly re
turned home, and having saddled
horse, he again went back to Lemons
Passing the house he entered the woods
| and in an old dim road he came upol
his father who was lying in the road
dead.
The neighborhood was soon aroused
and when the body was examined
was clear that it had been penetrate
by four distinct shots. He was she

A Peculiar Sheet Of Water.


Lake Tahoe is situated 6 ,220 feetabove
the sea, is twenty-five miles long from
north to south, and twelve and a half
miles wide, the general contour. being a
parallelogram, The greatest measured
depth that we have good authority for
is 1906 feet. The temperature never
goes below 80 Fahrenheit, and in sum-
mer never above 609 unless it be near
the shore in some sheltered cove, or
where stream of sun-warmed water
runs into it. At o depth of 500 feet the
temperature never changes, being 39!io {.
This fact accounts for another er-that of
drowned persons never rising, the water
being so cold that no gases are generat-
ed hence the body in time simply goes
to pieces from the action of the water.
1t is as buoyant as any other pure wa
ter at tie same altitude, there being no
appreciable difference in the readings OF
the hydrometer, hence the statement
that wood does not float for any time,
persons cannot swim, and the like are
fallacies. The air being very light at
this elevation above the sea, exercise ol
any kind, either on land or water, can.
not be so long continued as in Q lower
and heavier atmosphere.
