ing for bread. The men express them.
selves willing to work, and some of
them arc already employed in hauling
government stores from Webster, Dak-
ota. Mr.. Cressy, the Agent, sent word
by one of the Indian police for these
parties to return to the Agency, but
they seemed disinclined to do 80. They
say there is no food for them at the

sOMKBODY's sERvANr GIRL.

She stood there leaning wearily
Againft the window frame,
Her face WAS patient, sad and sweet,
Her garments coarse and plain.
"Who Ia she, pray 2" asked Q friend,
Tho red lips gave a curl;
"Reaily, do not know her name-
She's some ones servant yirl.''
Again saw her on tho street,
With burden trndge along;
Her face was sweet and patient still,
Amid the jostling thr0ng;
Slowly but ches rfully she moved,
Guarding with watchful oars,
A market.basket muth too large
For her slight hand to boar.
A mani thouph ht a gentleman
Went pushing rudeiy by,
Sweeping tho basket from her hands,
But turning not his eye;
For thera is no necessity
Amid that busy whiri,
For MIN to be y gentleman
10 some one's servant girl.
All, we'll 1t is that God above
Locks In upon the heart,
And never judges ANY one
Bat Just the outar part;
for II the suul DO pure ana good
He will not mind the rest.
Nor question what the garments were
In which the form was dressed.
Ard many man and woman fair,
by fortune reared ana feo,
Who will not mingle here below
With those who earn their read,
When they have passed away from lie
Beyond the gates of yearl,
WIN meet beiore cir II sth RS throne
With many q servant giri.

EgxptIan sOIdIera.

Col. Dye has much to say concerning the
fighting capacity of the fellshin, and seeing
that he speaks from experience, gained both
in the barrack and the field, his structures
possess at the present moment more than
ordinary value His estimate Of the Egyptian
peasants soldierly aptitude is very low.
Though gifted with q wonderful power of
physical endurance, and a docile and a good
campaigner, the fellah is neither combative
nor intelligent, has not a spark of patriotism,
dislikes and dstrusts his officers, and hates
soldering with so intense hatred that in or
der to avoid it, be will often cut off one of his
fingers or put out one of his eyes. When
Col. Dye was in Egypt the artillery as well as
the cavalry consisted exclusively of fellahin.
The gunners were taken from a class superior
to that which supplied recruits to the other
arms of the service. The officers, moreover,
we're better instructed than their brethren Of
the line, an advantage which they owed to the
exertions of the commandant of the artillery
school, a highly educated French officer. To
the teaching of this Frenchman probably, the
stout defense made the other day by the forts
Ut Alexandria is in some measure due.
great drawback to the efficiency of the fellah
as a fighting man is the shortness of his sight
resulting from opthalmia. So defective is the
vision Of Egyptian soldiers, says Col. Dye,
thnt hardly any OF them can see further
through a rifle-sight than a few rods. The
eyes of the black soldier are better. Under
the same conditions he can mark 80 to 40 pei
cent more hits than his Egyptian comrades
This superior shooting may, however be il
part due to the negro's greater nerve, conf
dence and eagerness to excel The black
regiments being officered exclusively 10y
| Egyptians, are in no way better organized
than the other regiments albeit, the negroes
being Injured from childhood to war and the
chase, they make far better fighting materia
than the fellahin. With the exception of I
| few who have risen from the ranks the highe
officers are the descendants of Turkish father
and Circassan mothers. They are general!
sufficiently brave, utcruel, avaricious, corrupt
| and fearfully immoral, mentally inert, aud ply
/ sically lazy. The younger regimental and stat
! officers are, for the most part, the sons o
! Pashas and Beys in Government service
| trained in the military schools established b.
Ismal. They are inferior, morally and phys
! ically, to the men they command. -SpectdtOT

staubbach Falls.

This is a new name for very beautiful wa
ter fall near West river, in that part of Dunn
merston called The Hague. Who gave the
name or why it was so called, we are not in
formed Francis Goodhue, Esq, of Brattle-
boro became interested in tho falls and had
improvements made in the vicinity so that
the place might be more easily accessible to
visitors. The stream is called Fall brook,
because the descent from its source is 80 pre-
cipitous. What is now called Staubbach
Falls has long been known as "Fall Brook
Falls" 1t is a charming retreat in the forest,
and exceedingly romantic. A winding path
shaded by evergreen trees, leads up from the
highway beside the brook along the southern
bank to the waterfall. The steep, rugged
banks, prostrate decaying old trees, project
ing rocks, moss grown and covered with
ferns, give primative look to the locality.
The ravine is deep aud its northern bank
just below the falls rises to height Of more
than 100 feet The brook runs over ledge
nearly perpendicular and sixty feet in height.
Years ago the fall was ten or fifteen feet more
than it now is, as freshets have washed in a
quantity of large stones at the foot of the
ledge. The brook is three miles in length
andhas its source on Putney West Hill. Three
branches unite to form the stream. The east
branch rises on the Simeon Reed farm, the
middle branch on land once owned by Abel
and Ferrin Wilson, and the west branch on
the John Turner place. The general course
of the brook is westerly. 1t was once large
enough to furnish water power for mill.
Nahum Norcross, an early settler in this town,
built grst mill on the brook near his house
about tho year 1897. 1t was made of logs,
but a freshet soon washed it away. His
neighbors helped him rebuild. The second
mill was framed and located lower down
the brook. Another freshet undermined this
mill, but it was saved from falling into the
stream, and removed to q safer place below
the site it first occupied. There was a good
run of custom till about 1884, when the old
mill was left to decay. 1t is reported that
iron ore was found on the west branch of
Fall brook and worked for time but only
a small quantity of iron was obtained. Some
one is said to have had a pair of steelyards
made from the iron taken from this mine.
