BOZZARIS AND FORREST.
A Thrilling Scene in a Greek Cafe

A writer in the New York Star
SAYS: We were talking the other
day about Greeks, apropos to Bern

think they were. Presently We
stopped in front of a portrait OF
Fitz-Greene Ralleck, with whom al
three Of us were acquainted when he
served as a sort of Newman Noggs
in the Office Of the Astors.
WHO would have thought" said
Forrest, that such a chap as Hal.
leck could have written Marco Boz
Zaris, a poem that fires my blood

"And strangely enough" he con-
tinued, Il met the son Of Marco
Bozzaris in Greece. He had seemed
to me a traditional parsonage; but to
meet his son gave to him reality
which l have never since lost"
What sort of a man was young
Bozzaris ?" inquired
six feet two inches high, re-
piled Forrest, straight and slim as
palm tree: a face like the antique;
a model, sir, of manly beauty. Only
a hero could have had such a SON."
"And was his mind equal to his
physique?"
Icould not tell at first. He spoke
no English, and my French was not
fluent. However, we managed to
understand each other little, and

The mood was on me, and, standing
up IN that Greek cafe, with not d
soul near who knew English, 1 re-
cited the whole of it to the son of
the hero whom it has immortalized.
Sir, he understood that L could
see the blood thrill in his veins, his
eyes flash lightning, the color come
ana go In his cheeks, and when my
voice dropped and broke for the
concluding lines, where Bozzaris
sinks TO sleep in death at the very
moment OF victory, the sons eyes
1iled with tears which dropped like
diamonds on the ground as he gazed
at me. All! Oratory, sir, is the uni
versa! language. But I should have
l!kep Halleck to hear his poem re-
cited by me to such an audience.

extended arm aud tried to drag hin
into or toward the boat, he hurled hi
spear again and again into the crea
ture. and eRdeavored to push it from
Willis knee, where it had now set

knife.
Two OF the arms were severed II

the monster, and Tom. settling dowr
almost under the water, with q ire
mendous lift tore the ugly Creature
from its hold.
At the same moment the b iva in

fairly ierked him into the boat with
some Ut the arms of the octopus stil
clinging to him.
Tom was not moment behind. al
the creature had escaped from him,
and he was likewise hauled aboard
Will was badly cut; his legs, arms
and neck we're covered with round
marks. as if he had been cupped and
some OF them tied badly, while ther
sharp bites we're evidently the marks
of parrot-lIke bills.
The water for many feet about
them still showed evidences of .he
struggle, being as black as ink from
the sepis the animal had elected il i.s
fear or rage.
Will was determined to have the
body of the octopus. So after the
water had cleared, they commenced
the search and finally the ugly fellow
or what was lett OF twas found
under q clump of branch-coral. The
boat was held over the spot, and three
spears were sent into L. at once. Even
now it struggled hard, and as they
lifted it aboard the creature dragged
at. least fifty pounds of dead coral with
it. But once in the boat it was soon
hDlshed Wild hAtchet and packed
away in half barrel. which it nearly
filed, and was found to weigh after
ward 40 pounds.
'You wouldn't believe q creature
like that would have so much
strength" said Will, as they started
for home. GAS soon as hit it it
seemed to run up the spear, and
nearly twisted the pole out of nay
hands, and the water became as black
as ink; and the first thing I knew 1
felt something like a red hot band
clasp my leg and then another. and
then I made jump for the head,
and the animal tried to climb up me.
I don't knoW!.Whether be was trying
to attack me or to escape; but I've
learned one lesson-never to strike
an octopus unless you are in boat"

LONDON, March Q.
There was a large crowd awaiting the

across the platform at the railway station to
her carriage which was waiting to take her
to the Castle. John Brown had already as
cended to his seat behind the carriage. when
a man standing at the entrance TO the station
yard, among number of spectators, pointed
pistol at the carriage and fired. To Judge
from the report the pistol was not heavily
loaded. The Queen, who probably was not
aware of what had happened, was Immediate
ly driven to the Castle; but before she passed.
the man had been seized by the superintend-
ent Of the borough police, who was standing
near by. He was also violently seized
by the crowd, and only rescued from
them when three or four policemen came to
the superintendent assistance. The pistol
was captured by one of the crowd. Mclean
who was miserably clad, was taken into High
street and thence conveyed to the police sta
ton in cab. The general opinion is that
| the act was the result of lunacy. As soon
as the Queen arriv ed at the Castle she order
ed an equerry to proceed to the depot to in
inquire if any one had been hurt. The re-
port of the pistol was sharp but not
