Of Such is the Army of Britain.


From the Army and Navy Gazette Iondon)
We have seen an extremely interesting
letterfrom an officer of the Forty second,
from which we venture to give the fol-
lowing extract, in the hope that the
graphic account of the rally" and of
the repulse will be read with pleasure
by the friends of the officers named, and
by wider circle than it was intended
for: "All our officers fought like devils,
and how we only lost one l can't tell,
God is good and must have put His
shield round our brave, gallant officers.
The Colonel is splendid man. He
shot two Arabs dead and would have
shot more, only the Government revol-
yer ammunition missed fire. An Arab
threw spear, and just passed the
Colonel Another threw stone at him,
and hit and wounded him on the head
and knocked his helmet off; and he was
bareheaded under burning sun till gal
liant Norman Macleod gave him his
helmet. and wrapped cloth around his
own head. Dear little Brophy was hit
in the legs, and only saved his brave
life by hanging on to the Colonels
horses tail When we rallied and
formed line, | imagined / must be the
onlyofficer alive ;but, to my JOY we all met.
Old Charlie Eden, as cool as if he were
partridge shooting; little Brophy lame,
but pretending to be sound; Sandy
Kennedy, with his eyeglass in his eye,
and his wife's watch round his neck;
Bald, a gigantic subaltern, sweating
and with blue jackets hat on-he lost
his helmet. Sir John McLeod's son,
Duncan, wounded, swearing he was all
right; old Bob Coveny, smiling with
confidence; and Norman Macleod with
his firm lips, thirsting for more blood;
Sped looking as calm as Judge; and
young Macrae, an Argyleshire lad, who
only joined us the day before the battle,
in his trews and armed with
a spear-head crying to be at
the niggers again. He is a
splendid boy, and fought like devil.
All our officers had hand-to hand fights
with the Arabs. They pulled the kits
off our men, and one of them pulled the
green ribbons off my kilt, but / killed
MN. Iney are most aWIulIy pluchy'
l saw one man just dead and he was
crawling towards us to kill white man
before he died, took splendid spear
and killed great many wounded men
with it; it went into their hearts like
lightning, and their blood flowed out
on the sand. I had a narrow escape
from half dead Arab; he sent his
spear close to my leg, and l stabbed
him in the heart"

was suspended on one side, and was connected
with an American flag which concealed the

guests, including prominent Lutheran
clergymen from different states
Senator Conger Mich delivered the address
of the day. and Rev. J. s Morris, D. d. spoke
at some length. The cord attached to the flag
covering the statue was then pulled, and as the
drapery fell disclosing the face of the greatre-

British Fertility.

John Burroughs, in the Century
Thirty millions of people within the
area of one of our largest states, and
who shall say that high-water mark is
yet reached? Everything betokens a
race still in its youth, still on the road
to empire. The full bloodedness, the
large feet and hands, the prominent ca
nine teeth, the stomachic and muscular
robustness, the health of the women,
the savage jealousy of personal rights,
the swarms upon swarms of children
and young people, the delight in the
open air and in athletic sports, the love
of danger and adventure, a certain
morning freshness and youthfulness III
their look, as if their food and sleep
nourished them we'll, as well as GER
tain enimality and stupidity all indi-
cate a people who have not yet slack
ened speed or taken In sail. Neither
the land nor the race shows any exhaus-
ton. In both there is yet the freshness
and fruitfulness of new country. You
would think the people had Just come
into possession Of virgin soil. There
is pioneer hardness and fertility about
them. Families increase as IN our early
frontier settlements.

Glass Feathers, Flowers and Ben.
nets

Each of the various countries on the
continent where glass is manufactured
produces an article peculiar to itself and
unlike its neighbors; and one of the
specialties of Australian glass making is
the manufacture of various fabrics for
ladies wear from spun glass. The glass
is spun into thin threads, like ordi-
nary silk or cotton, and woven into differ
ent colored fabrics sometimes entirely
of glass and sometimes with a warp of
silk or cotton. Collars, neckties, cords
and tassels, fringes, pincushions,
feathers, belts, etc., are all made of this
material At the Paris exhibition in
1878, a bonnet made entirely of spun
glass, with feather and ribbons, lined
with silk, was shown, as well as cloak
and other articles of wear. This spun
glass is also used for watch chains,
brushes, etc Glass flowers are also
made to considerable extent, but it is
difficult for these to compete with those
made from China. Scientific Ameri-

THE STORY OF A LIFE

Say, what is life? IT'S to be born
A helpless babe, to greet the ligh
With a sharp wall, az if the morn
Foretellsa cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep, and weep again,
With sunny smiles between-and thens
And then apaee the infant grows
To be laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy despite his little woes,
We're he but conscious of his 10y!
To he, in short, from two 10 ten,
A merry, moody child-and them
And then IN coat and trousers clad
To learn to say the decalogue,
And break it, an unshinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog:
A truant oft by field and fen,
To capture butterfies-and then?
And then increased in strength and size,
To be anon youth full grown;
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo III his own;
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sin-and then?
And then at last to be man,
To fall in love, 10 woo and wedi
With seething brain to scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread;
To sue for fame, with tongue and pen,
And gain or loose the prize
And then IN gay and wrinkled ED
To mourn the speed of life's decline;
To praise the scenes our youth beheld,
And dwell in the memory of lang syne;
To dream awhile with darkened ken,
To drop into the graye-and them

The True Washington Memorial.


If the government owned Mt. YER
non; could maintain there half doz.
en- of its infirm soldiers; could place
there its relics of Washington; could
consecrate the home as a national shrine,
a place of pilgrimage; could clear away
the Decorating refuse of lunch baskets
and restore the lovely spot to it's noblest
associations, the monument of marble
would be useless, and might be taken
down. Mount Vernon would be true
memorial of Washington. Here people
could see how he lived from day to day.
His library might be replaced on its old
shelves; for though the original books
are scattered their titles are known, and
the volumes are capable of being easily
restored, at least in other copies, to the
cases. Here might be kept his diary.
The garden is substantially as he left it..
The elements of his personality
plicity, industry, prudence, economy
are illustrated at every turn. The
small, plain chambers, the modest
furniture, the humble deco
rations, are perpetual lesson of self
abnegation. He was a great character.
No sculptured stone can commemorate
qualities such as he possessed. Nature
alone, as recreated by his private vir-
tues, shown in life, can do that, and at
Mount Vernon he lived and died. They
who revere that sacred memory, and
wish to keep it fresh, pray that his home
and last resting place may be made his
monument; that his countrymen may
find here the shade of their heroic friend,
and may renew their own patriotism by
association with his.-,Juns Atlantic

Tricks of Great Orators.

Great orators have not scrupled to
use the arts Of the actor to produce their
effects. Lord Brougham, while protest
ing against the rejection of the Reform
Bill by the House of Lords, cried out
u implore You upon my knees!" kneel-
ing before them ON the wool sack, "gp-
on which the Lord Chancellor sits when
presiding in the House of Lords. Sher
idan, having finished his famous speech
in the trial of Warren Hastings, sank
back apparently fainting in the arms of
his friends. Edmund Burke,
at the end of speech mp
ON the atrocities which might be
expected from the French in case of an
invasion, drew forth an enormous two
edged dagger, and. excla:ming, "This
is the weapon which will be pointed at
your Threats and minei" dashed it on
the floor with tragic gesture. Short
ly afterward Lord Cairns, speaking
against Burke (who was suspected of
having amassed his wealth dishonesty,
exclaimed: And this is the weapon
which is used with fatal effect against
You and mel" dragging out. with
Burke's gesture, five pound note.
As every one looked to see him dash it
on the floor, he quietly folded it and
put it in his pocket, One of the most
noted criminal lawyers now in this
country, while pleading the cause of
his client, is invariably so overcome by
his innocence and wrongs that his voice
fails, he chokes, sobs, and is forced to sit
down to recover himself. az should
