emotion, so he carefully refrained from
speaking of 1t to any one; but on the
morrow, at the very hour that the
Prussian battalions advanced eau
tiously on the long road which led
from the Port of Maillot to the Tuil-
cries; an upper window was gently
raised, and the Colonel appeared on
the balcony with his helmet, his great
sabre. his glorious old uniform OF the
ancient cuirassier of Milhaud complete.
l still wonder what effort of will, what
rebound Of life thus put him on his
feet and into uniform. What Is GER
tain Is that he was there, erect behind
the railing, astonished at finding the
avenues so wide-so still-the blinds of
the houses closed, Paris desolate as q
pest house, flags everywhere; but, SO
singular, all white with red crosses,
and no one to meet our soldiers.
For q moment he could believe
himself mistaken. But no! down
there behind the Arc de Triomphe
there was confused noise, black
line which advanced in the rising light.
Then little by little the spikes of the
helmets flashed, the little drums of Jena
began to beat, and under the Arc de

heavy tramp of the sections and the
clash Of sabres. burst forth the
triumphal march of Schubert.
Then, in the gloomy silence of the
place there was heard a cry-a terrible
cry-'To arms! To arms! The Prus-

the balcony a tall old man stagger

Wild Beasts Of the SOudan.

The demand for animals for exhibi.
ton in Europe and in civilized America
has armed enterprising hunters with
net and trap, aud sent them far into
the wilds of UNEMPLOYED Africa. The
Soudan, q part Of that continent to
which attention and even anxiety arc
now directed. has long been a hunting
ground for the providers OF the great
dealers like Mr.. Jamroch. whose reposi-
tory at East-end London has been so
frequently described. Tho difficulty OF
catching some of the animals Is very
great. A hippopotamus, for instance,
may DO Melted; but ne Is q very big
"iish" to land safe and well, to send
over hundreds of miles of Soudan
tracks, to ship sound and in good con-
dition, and to land at European port
after a sea voyage. The cost Of such
an undertaking is very great and not
unfrequently Is incurred in vain. Del
icate animals torn from tho steaming
swamps and ready thickets In which
they delight are very apt, after all the
pains and risk of capturing them, TO
die upon their enslavers' hands.
Perhaps the king of beasts Is as
hardy as any of his subjects. At least
he suffers less in captivity than the
majority Of them, II we may accept as
proof the frequent leonine families
which bring rejoicing to the Geological
Gardens of London and Dublin. So
keen is the pursuit of genuine wild
beasts in the Soudan and the regions
adjoining that within very few. years
travellers have noted remarkable fall
ing off in big game. Between tho
sportsmen who 60 fully equipped for
slaughter from this and other countries,
the natives, now better armed than
formerly, and the snarers who seek
live specimens for Mr.. Jamroch and his
brethren, the monarchs Of the desert
