Hard to Kill.

In the Century Magazine F'itz-John
Porter publishes the story of Malvern
Hill, The Last of the Seven Days
Battles" which was fought July /,
1862. In detailing some of the hospi-
tai scenes after the battle, he speaks of
this incident: While passing through
this improvised hospital (the Malvern
house, l heard of many sad cases. One
was that of the major of the Twelfth
New York Volunteers, brave and
gallant officer, highly esteemed, who
was believed to be MORALLY wounded.
While breathing his last, as was sup
posed, friend asked him if he had any
message to leave. He replied. Tell
my wife that in my last thoughts were
blended herself, my boy and my fag?'
Then he asked how the battle had
gone, and when told that we had been
successful he said, God bless the old
fla and fell back, apparently dead. For
long time he was mourned as dead
and it was believed that he had expired
with the prayer left unfinished on his
closing lips. Though still an invalid,
suffering from the wound then received,
that officer recovered to renew his
career III inc war, anu now, lOr fecrea-
ton, INDUCES in lively contests of
political warfare" The above refers
to General Henry A. Barnum, then
major of the Twelfth New York Volun-
teers. Although the story has been
often told in private, and is true in
every particular, we believe it has never
before been published in any permanent
form. General Barnum afterward had
a brilliant military career, and has re-
ceived numerous civic honors. He is
now member of the assembly from
the twenty-first New York district
Rochester Democrat.

Select Mtistellanp.
The Land of Dreams.

Between the darkness and the day
A charmed pathway lies,
A shadowy, shining, mystic way
That leads to paradise
A way through sunlit meadows set
with primrose and with violet.
Through valleys where the dairodils
Bend low to every breeze,
Across the msts, across the hills,
Beyond the farthest seas,
Beyond the sunsets golden bars,
Beyond the silence of the stars.
There is the land of long ago,
And there, the woods among,
The summer winds are soft and low,
The summer light is long;
And love is lord of leafy ways
Through all the golden summer days.
All mel That happy land of dreams
never more shall find;
The music of its woods and streams
Still haunts the wandering wind;
But care and memory ever wait,
Flame-sworded by the golden gate.

In a certain court in this state on a
time the proceedings were delayed by
the failure of witness named Sarah
Mony to arrive. After waiting a long
time for Sarah the court concluded to
wait no longer, and, wishing to crack
his little joke, remarked, "This court
will adjourn without Sarah-mony."

who sat in solemn meditation for five
minutes, and then burst into hearty

THE STUDENTS, JUBILEE.


Midnight Rejoicings Omcer Sell
leck,s Tough Time on the Campus
The Yale Bonhres-The Omcer's
Injuries.
The students of Yale celebrated the APP
to the court of st. James with gala night.
They were all deeply interested in the ap-
pointment and it seemed that gratitude to
President Cleveland could be shown in no
better way than by the good old-style Yale
bonfire. Accordingly two large fires
were kindled on the campus night before last
little after midnight. For some time the
students were busy Juggling logs and scraping
together other materials for the fires. When
they were kindled two or three hundred stu
dents gathered about them. One was in
front Of South Middle and the other between
North and Durfee colleges.
Officer George F. Selleck has the beat
about the colleges and was on the campus
when the students assembled about the
fires. The students regard the campus as
their sacred domain and proceeded to show
the policeman that their privileges could not
be trifed with. They had some talk about
putting him on the fire and the policeman
told them that he who laid hands on him
would get hurt. The crowd surrounded him,
but made no demonstration until the officer
hit one of the men who came too close to
him Before the policeman could defend
himself the crowd surged forward and leaped
on him and got him down. Then they sat
on him. He was no match for
them and had to give in at
last, though he fought like a
tiger. The students took his insignia of of
fee and would not let him up until one of
them said that the uficer's arm was broken.
They then separated and Mr.. Selleck went to
the police office in sorry condition. Yes
terday afternoon his right hand and wrist
were swollen to twice their natural size. His
shoulder is lame and he has bad bruise on
his forehead. He said that two students
tried to force him off the campus and one of
them hit him on the nose. The officer then
tried to strike with his club, but was over
powered.
Mr.. Selleck is one of the oldest policemen
on the force and has recently taken badge
No. 2, released by Officer Tom Kennedy, who
took No. 1. He says that he does not think
he could identify any of his assailants. He
did not have pistol with him.
