Anccdote OF woiseIey.

An English correspondent relates the
following anecdote OF Sir Garnet Wolseley,
He had timed the night attack at Tel-el-
Kebir, Egypt, to begin at fixed hour.
Surrounded by bis staff he sat waiting on
borseb ok, and in his nervous impotence
he wac continually pulling cut repeater
he carried, and ringing the hour. The
night was extremely dark, the repeater
very old, and Sir Garnet fir, quen,ly grew
anxious lest the moment for the attack
should pass before everything WIS ready.
The etail said what they could to resssure
their chief, and somebody shrewdly sug
geeted that perhaps the old repeater was
too fast. just then faint light dawned
in the Eastern sky aud grew swiftly
brighter, aud before long the hoiizol and
all thai quarter of the heavens were raiian,
with the hues of early morn. Sir Garnet
threw down his watch with an exclamation
of despair and turning to the staff seid;
~ GU see, gentlemen, ii is too late; il will
be broad daylight before the troops can
reach the enemy's lines" "But. whyf''
queried one beld man; "the hour fixed is
not passed" ut must b. past" retorted
SIR Garnet, ''look at the light in the skey."
Eyes. " responded The bold man, 81 zee the
light. 1t is the comet"

The Washington Critic publishes the
following account Of the killing of llttle
Gyrsy child by bear. says:
One Of the eight little children belong
ing to the gang of Arab gypsies was killed
by the large half starved black bear at the
gypsies' camp, twenty miles from here.
Several 81 the children were teasing the
animal, who had been chained to sap
ling by It's master, when suddenly 3.year-
old youugsieT, who had bean poking q
stick at BTuin, approached too near, aud
was seiz suddenly by the animal, aud
crushed TO death. One OF the men, hear
Jog the animal growl, tried to save his in.
faui, but arrived on the scene too late
Whereupou, selling a large club, be beat
the poor bear nearly TO death. The child
was buried a few hours later by the road
side, and tae band packed it's luggage and
moved along hardly missing the little dead
intent from the motley throng of bears,
monkeys, dogs, donkeys, and villainous-
looking humane.
The ceremony over the grave Of the in
FAINT was very curious one. The entire
band taking bold Of each others hands
formed a circle around the open hole-foi
Il was certainly not grave-chanted a
doleful melody and then went around and

oApriArN I ". P. H.ll. ,ha uold Man

UAPTATN W. Z. Hall, the "Old Man
Of the Skiff." who has worked aud
delved SO many years in the interest OF
the Davenport Academy Of Science, is
in the city again. His skiff, or, rather
his hatbOat. is mOored in Wolf river
near the mouth, and he will probably
go down the Mississippi this afternoon.
He has just finished boxing up a large
COllection-6ve boxes in all-of
collections made in the last
month or two. His richest
specimens were obtained at Hale's
Point. Among other rare articles he
found some ancient urns or jars that
hold fourteen gallons. Strange to say,
he has never found much of value in
Shelby county although he has dug
into the mounds at Fort Pickering
and other places Of supposed interest
and archaeological importance. How
ever, he has recently made some dis.
cOveries of some interest at or near a
place known as Potato Hill, mile or
two east of Island No 40. The loca-
ton is on The north side Of Bear Creek,
one and quarter miles from the Mis-
sissippi river, and near the residence of
Mrs. Andrews. At this place he dug
up over twenty skulls in an un6oished
Indian mound. This spot he consid-
srs was once an Indian warriors camp.
He left at this Office two speci.
mems of pottery found there, one
hat ho attributes to the
Creek Indians, and the other to the
JhOctaws. The old man is very
,hary Of his gifts, and we must say
never leaves anything around news
paper Office that he thinks is
needed for domestic or scien-
i6c purposes by the Davenport
Academy, still we are always glad to
Ice this remarkable old fellow and to
Iecure such specimens as he can

,eculiar and interesting theories about
