The chagrin of the author was probably the
cause of his rushing into print through the

Gen. COrSe'S Wound.

The Commercial Gazette saws: Gen.
Hickenlooper tells a good one on Gen.
Corse. 1t was at Altoona that rifle
ball took Corse alongside OF the head.
Gen. Sherman received word from Gen.
Corse that his ear and portion of his
,heekbone were gone, but that he was
still able to hold his position and fight
it out.
As soon as possible Sherman GOT ovel
10 see him, full OF anxiety Tor him. H
found Corse with his head swathed II
bandages, and in his anxiety 20 know
the nature Of the Injuries, inpatien;lv
ordered the surgeon to remove the
cloths. This was done slowly, and with
great formality, and there was revealed
a slight scratch Of TIE cheek and hole
in the ear.
Sherman looked intently at it, and
,almly remarked, Why, Corse, they
came mighty near missing you, didn t
they?"

A Partisan Newspaper.

When the late NJ. VIllemessant the
proprietor of the Paris Figaro, died he
left the paper to the three men who had
done the most to aid him. But there
were many old contributors on the pa
per-men with well-known pamcs, who
made an outcry at this division of the
property They insisted that they
ought to have been consulted, and they
threatened to found AZ opposition
Fiqaro. This alarmed the three prin-
cipals, and they made a proposition 'o
the effec. that they themselves should
take each 235, 900 out Of the concern
yearly, and that the other men should
each have a salary Of s. 800 for the
work they were to do, and at the end Of
the year draw a like sum ont of the
profits, thus insuring them 2l5 coo a
year each. Yet these men DO not write
an average Of more than half column
a day each-lf, indeed that much, sc
that they have very easy time Of it.
It is one of the conditions that when
any one OF them dies his share goes &c
the others. so that the last survivor sill
have al enormous income.

El Mahdi's French Lieutenant.

Oliver Pain, the Frenchman now in
the Mahdi's camp, and to whose coun-
sells much of the false prophets recent
success is credited, is a brilliant Bo-
hemian. He is about forty-fve years
Old, was born in or near Paris and was
educated in the schools of the city. Il.
186970 he was prominent in that Com
mune and the attempts to overthrow
Napoleon III, writing for the papers
and taking part in the street-fghting.
He was tall, dashing and handsome.
During the Franco Prussian war he was
a captain in the French army and at the
same time newspaper correspondent.
Later, in 1873, Marshal MacMahon sent
him with Rochefort, editor Of La Ian
te7'ne. and other Communists, to the
penal colony at New Caledonia. He
was one of the little band that escaped
from there in 1875 and came to this
country. Then he went to London and
Geneva, following journalists career
until the breaking out of the Russo
Turkish war. Pain was among the first
correspondents on the ground, but soon
began to take an active part on behalf
of the latter country, both by counsel
and arms. He was taken prisoner by
the Russians, suspected of being spy,
and condemned to be shot; but there
being great doubt that he was one and
the fact that he was Frenchman saved
him. After severe imprisonment he
returned to Paris on the granting of a
general amnesty to the Communists and
wrote for several of the leading news
papers. On the breaking out of the war
in Egypt he was sent there rs CORE
spondent at his own request, as he
seemed never to be so happy as when
in the midst of turmoil and excitement.
While there he changed his mission and
formed the brilliant idea of penetrating
to the camp of the Mahdi, which he
alone succeeded in doing of all the cor
respondents sent to Egypt, and this in
the face of almost insurm ountable OBJ
stacles and in spite of hardships and
terrors which would have appalled, the
heart OF any other man but Pain.

THE FACE OF THE GLOBE.
How Much OF IL Is Water and How Much
Land-lnt eresting Notes.

It is estimated that the proportion Of
the surface Of the globe covered by
water is to the land surface as 21S 10
100, and that the average height Of
land or continents over the world above
sea-level is somewhat less than 1000
feet. The great mountain chains by
which the continents are more or less
traversei form mere narrow ridges,
which rise in no case more than 29. .00G
feet or about 81 miles above sea-level,
and add but comparatively little to
the mass of ground above the sea-level.
On the other hand the contour lines
OF the oceanic basin tells very different
tale of the great submarine depressions
Soundings recently made in the North
Pacific Ocean have shown that its mean
depth is not less than IL, 900 feet, and
that Of the South Pacific about II, 600
feet, while the mean depth of the North
Atlantic is found to be IA, 600 feet, and
of the South Atlantic 1900 feet. 1t is
only in high northern latitudes, in the
North Atlantic and North Pacific, that
the soundings give evidence of shallow
er seas-of mean depth of about 6, 00C
feet.
Thus it is seen now small the mass Of
land projecting above the sea-level is,
compared to the mass of water filling the
depressions below that level Taking
the average depth of the seas and ocean
at 10000 feet, and the height of the
land at 900 feet, the mass of the land
above water compared to the mass of
waters filling the ocean troughs is
nearly in the proportion of l to 80
1t is curious that the deepest sound
ing recorded in the Northwest Pacific
registered depth of about five miles
and quarter-a depth which closely
corresponds with the elevation above sea
level of the loftiest known point of land,
namely, the summit of Mount Everest,
in the Himalayas, which is 1000 feet,
or very nearly five miles and a quarter.
We must remember, however, that the
one measurement Is that of mere
peak, while the other probably gives
the depth of Oh extended trough.
We may thus realize how irregular
are the contour lines of the globe. and
how deep the depressions and abysses
concealed from our view by seas and
oceans. Could all these waters be
drained off from the surface, our earth
would present the aspect of solid
sphere, everywhere wrinkled and deep
| ]y pitted. Nevertheless, its actual di-
mensions are SO great that mountains
five miles high and ocean troughs five
miles deep bear no greater relation tC
the bulk of the globe than the irregu
larities on the skin of an orange.

and the whole skating party crowded
into the little room. Louis sat little
apart from the others, though near the
fire. He and Archie looked very absurd;
for the woman had insisted On clothing
them in some Of her husbands garments
while their own were drying,
But Louis's face, even above the
funny coat was very sober. At last he
said, slowly, "Three cheers for George
Washington 1t was much to c-oss
the Delaware; as you say, your rivers
are very big
"Three cheers for William Tell and
and the Swiss !" yelled the boys, in re-
ply.
Louis could hardly believe that he
heard rightly.
When they told the old woman of
their dispute she Strengthened her form
until it was tall and imposing, and her
eyes flashed until she was no longer old,
only terrible, as she said: "You boys,
you do not know what courage is. 1t is
my people who have taught the world
that.
''To fight and keep your high snow
mountains, as did your little Swiss peo-
pie, that is well; and to fight for your
big land, and win it. as you Americans
did, that too, is we'll; but to fight and
lose, and still to fight for the right be-
cause it is right, though never to be
won, so my Poles have done, and they
are brave"
And the boys looking at each other,
did not deny her.
On the way home Louis said: Boys
you can call me 'Polesky' every day in the
week, if yoalike'; but "The Trumpet"
said "No, I shall call you William
Tell" snd the rest joined in with his,
''Ihree cheers for Billy Tell ! Hurrah
Hurrah ! Hurrah y by which name
they call him to this day.
