Death of an Old Soldier Who Fought at
Waterloo.

Carl Zesch, veteran Of the Napole-
onic wars ,aged 80 years, was buried last
Wednesday in st. Marks cemetery,
near st. Louis, from the residence of
his son, Julius Zesch, 1915 Market
street. The old gentleman came to st.
Louis at the age of 56 years, aud had
lived there ever since. He was born at
Cottbens, twenty miles from Berlin,
and followed the trade of copper-smith,
except when serving in the Prussian
army. He had a..distinct remembrance
of the battle of Austerlitz, and saw the
splendid army of Napoleon marching
for the Russian campaign in 1912. After
the disastrous retreat from Moscow
some of the wretched survivors passed
through the Prussian towns begging
for bread, and as if they were still in
Russian territory they used the Rus
sian name for bread instead of brot.
The soldiers of Napoleon wore ON their
coat-tails four buttons, each marked
with an IN" This gave currency to
alliterative German, saying: "Nor
Nicht Mach Norden," meaning Never
go north;" in .allusion to the terrible
catastrophe suffered by the soldiers.
Mr.. Zesch was old enough to join the
German army of Libroton under Field
Marshal Blucher, and fought at Leip-
sic, and was in the numerous battles
fought by the allies on French soil un-
til the capture of Paris. In the latter
city he met his brother, who he had
not seen for years, and who belonged
to another division of the allied army
Mr.. Zesch received two bayonet
wounds, one on the chin at the battle
of Signy, and another on the arm at
the battle of Waterloo. He received
two medals for gallantry in the service,
both of which, together with the scar
on his chin, he retained until his death
He related to his son the following
anecdote of Blucher: Before the de-
cisive battle of Waterloo. Blucher had
fallen back ON Wavre. Wellington
| wrote to him at the commencement OF
the retreat that it was his intention to
receive battle from the French at Mont
st. Jean, if he could depend upon re-
ceiving the assistance Of two Prussian
CORDS. Blucher, with characteristic
warmth and earnestness, replied that
| he would come to the dukes assistance,
| not simply with two corps but with his
whole army. Thus assured, Yelling
| ton felt confident of his ability to de-
| feat the approach to Brussels against
Napoleon's entire forces. Having CIV
en- his word to join Wellington, Mr..
Zesch says. he saw Bluches riding
furiously from corps to corps, urging
them to hurry to the assistance of Wei
lingtop, as he would be disgraeed if he
did not fulfill his word. The roads
/ were almost impassabie, with rain
pouring down, but the appeal OF the
Gid marshal was not lost on them. He

Lyrics of Culture.

From the Boston Courier.
Far in the depths of the mighty woods,
Where the swapping turtles run,
And the brinde cow in the branches
broods
From the dawn to the set of sun;
Where the caribou and the panther fight,
And the hungry coyotes bark,
And the blue fox howls the live-long
night
Near the den of the Bojum shark;
Where the framptious Mugwump makes
his lair
And the amOrous guyascutis
His love song sings to the grizzly bear,
You'll find the pink arbutus.
When lovely woman throws rock,
A contumacious hen to scare,
1t gives tn artistic eye shock
To mark her attitude and air.
But be not to your danger blind,
II you should be beside her then:
AT once place of safety find,
That is to say, stand near the hen.
THE LATEST SONG.
Oh, mamma, dear mamma, come home
with me now
l Iwonder what papa will think.
He'll meet you tonight with a frown on
his brow
For staying so long at the rink.
No lamp has been lighted tonight in the
hall,
'Tis dark and the baby's awake,
And-there! Twas sure, dearest ma, you
would fall
Some night your poor neck you will break.
Come home, come home,
Oh, mamma, dear mamma, come home.
THE MONTH OF LOVE.
Now o'er the hill tops trippeth merry May,
And modest flowers spring meath her
dancing feet,
Ere long to crown her brows with garlands
gay,
And happy birds with songs her coming
greet.
The bullfrog in the marsh doth gayly sing
Once more nocturnal carols to his mate,
And Corydon and Phyllis, courting, swing
At dewy eve upon the garden gate.
FILTRATION.
Filtration is Observation-Disclosures.
Well, if Irritation
Is damnation,
Our fears away We'll fling;
For, if he's right,
Damnation's quite
pleasing kind of thing.
And, by the way,
We here may say
That past experience teaches
There'll be once.more,
Just as of yore,
Damnation al. the beaches.
And sad to tell,
He knows full well
Who his experience searches,
There's often.been,
Plain to be seen,
DamnatIon in the churches.

Steelville Sentinel: "R. w. Dunlap
informs US that wolves are making
their presence most uncomfortably felt
along Shoal and Huzza creeks. James
Sanders has lost 90 head of sheep by
these varments. Last week while
Isaac LaRue and Labe Stone were
working in the field, the dogs began
barking at something in bluff near
by. LaRue went up to see what they
had, and while he was engaged in pok-
ing stick in hole in the bluff, the
dogs suddenly left him, and on turning
around he saw large wolf coming to-
ward him; then he proceeded to vacate.
In short time LaRue and Stone went
to the den with fire intending to smoke
the wolves out, They did, but they
went out on the other side of the hill
there being two entrances to the den.
Shortly afterwards Roe Eaton saw O
of her puppies in her mouth, and then
return and bring another across. He
got his gun and dogs, mounted horse
and started, expecting to have grand
chase. but as soon as his dogs scented
wolf they grew timed and refused to
go out of sight. We understand wolf
party will be organized soon to exter-
inmate her wolfship and family.n

the station rushed out and made a

a reckless disregard for consequences.

200 Feet above the waves

T.
Boston Times to New York Sun.
3 Capt. Frank r. Martin, the keeper
Of the Minot's Ledge Lighthouse, is
.nble to leave his post for the first time
since the great storm. The storm was
surpassed in violence only by thegreas
one of 1851, when the first Minot's
Ledge Lighthouse was carried away.
No other lighthouse in the world is SO
exposed to the mercy OF the sea and
wind. The pinnacle of the structure
towers nearly two hundred feet above
The waves. and yet the tremendous
seas dashed fifty feet above the peak.
Captain Martin related his experience
and that of his companion in part as
follows:
s1The gale began on Sunday night,
the wind blowing from the northeast,
veering to east-northeast, and then
back again. From Tuesday night to
Wednesday night the gale increased
constantly, and on Wednesday night
we could not sleep on account OF the
noise. Everything placed against the
walls ratified, and the thunder of the
sea was terrific. On Thursday morn
ing between 1 80 and O'Clock, was
on the watch in the watch-room just
below the lantern, where sea struck
the tower, the heaviest up to that
time, breaking heavily against the
solid granite wall, and dashing its
spray and foam forty or fifty feet
above the pinnacle. The spray from
nearly every wave broke over the
tower, but none seemed to have had
force equal to this. We thought it
the heaviest gale that the light
house had ever experienced. Still
the wind kept increasing and
the shocks were OF greater power. At
2:3O p M on Thanksgiving Day, and
just about high tide, another tremend.
Gus wave struck the tower, still
heavier than the one In the night,
starting the paint from between the
cracks in the ceiling Of the watch-room,
and moving the top tier Of a pile OF
boxes containing fve-gallon cans OF
oil stored in the oil-room. Soon after
ward the gale began to abate, and by
midnight it was clear weather, al
though there was heavy cross sea
still running
"Was there any popularity about
the gale other than its length and
force?"
"Previous to this, in all gales since
have been in the lighthouse, l
have noticed that the heaviest waves
come during the last three hours OF the
ebb tide or the first three hours of the
flood. In this last gale the seas were
heaving at about high water"
'Did the tower suffer any damage?"
"a careful examination inside, and
as well as could be done under the cir
cumstances outside, failed to discover
any injury from the gale Or faults in
the structure. It is apparently as
sound to-day as whenit was built, and
not even a pane ofglass in the lantern
was broken. There was some water
perhaps half an inch-on the lower
floor, which found its way in around
the windows"
'Do you think this gale was the
heaviest since the gale was destroy
ed?"
eyes, without doubt. Mr.. A. H..
Tower, a storekeeper in Cohasset, tells
me that he remembers thegreat storm
OF 1851 very well, and that by. his
marks the water was foot lower this
time than then, and that this last was
the heaviest blow" -
