Mailing for the RugIo.

We wait for the Iugle; the night dews are
cold,
The limbs Of the soldiers feel jaded and old,
The field Of our bivou1c is windy and bare,
There is lead in our joints, there is frost in
our hair,
The future is yelled and its fortune unknown
AS we lie with Lushed breath till the bugle
is blown.
At the sound Of the bugle each comrade shall
spring
Like an arrow released from the strain of
the string;
The courage, the impulse Of youth shall come
back
To banish the chill of their rear bivouqc,
And SORT ows and losses and cares fade away
When that hfe-givIng signal proclaims the
new day.
Though the bivouae of age may put ice in
our veins,
And no fibre Of st eel in our sinew remains;
Though the comrades of yesterdays march
are not here,
And the sun igLt seems pale and the branches
are scar
Though the sound Of our cheering dies down
to a moan,
We shall find our lost youth when the bugle
is llown.

A BlOOdleSs German.

Not many miles from B,tlin, Ger
many. there lives a man who, if what
report says OF him be true, is certainly
one of the most remarkable phenomena
on record. The papers state as posi-
tive fact that he has no blood IN his
veins and that committee Of the lee =
ing physicians and scientists have de-
clared their inability to account for this
extraordinary circumstance. The man
is a Corporal in the G,rman army, and
goes by the name of Otto Schrie Der.
He himself was quite unconscious of
his bloodIess condition until two N onths
ago, when he fought duel with feI-
low soldier. His oppOaent ran his
sword through his body without, how
ever, drawing any blood, and the
''patient" seemed not bit the worse.
Tho man was so taken by surprise that
Otto had no trouble in killing him.
Since that time the comrades of the
Corporal have been careful not to tread
accept a challenge from him. He was
submitted to a severe test at a medic al
institute in Berlin. A knife was thrust
into his mouth. the point coming out
at the b OK of the neck. Not a drop
of blood was spilled, and Otto felt no
pain during the operation. The gen
tlemen who examined him are now fuI y
convinced that there are many things
in heaven and earth that they never
dreamed of. Otto Schriebcr intends as
soon as his time is up. e., mex. year

The judicial salaries Of the United
States are probably the poorest Of
any civilized country Of the earth,
and those of Georgia are probably
the most economically based of any
of the states Of the United States.
The justices of the supreme court
of Georgia are paid about as much
rs third.rate lawyer mi6bt average,
and the judges of our superior courts
are not paid much more than the
head clerk Of q second class estab-
lishment ought to get, and out OF
their meager compensation they have
to pay expenses, which reduce their
salaries to an average about equal to
that of poorly paid policeman.
What contrast is this with the
judicial salaries of England, q table
of which we have before US, and the
liberal basis Of which allows her to
command the services Of the ablest
judicial minds of the land. While 1t

three weeks, when she deserted him,
going to Birmingham, where she met
and loved John Leslie, who provided
her a neatly furnished cottage. Ben
Smith. man aoout town, and an
uncle Of Sallie Boyd, has recently
been seen visiting the cottage, and it
seems that his niece had suddenly
taken a great fancy to him. Smith and
Leslie quarrelled bitterly a few days
ago. and then Sallie proposed to her
uncle that they put Leslie out of the
way. and then 60 of, and live as man
and wife. She fixed the night, had
Smith concealed and decoyed Leslie
to her cottage. Late at night Leslie
lay down on u sofa and went to sleep,
when she slipped in the next room
and told Smith to 60 in and do his
part Of the work. lie went in and
shot Leslie twice in the head, killing
him instantly, and then went home
and went to bed. The conflicting
statements Of Sallie Boyd directed
suspicion to Smith, who, upon being
arrested, confessed everything. John

even suspected Of such q thing. H

on the earth Of the excavated

that the resistance was equal to

AS if to show how wretchcd a

in literature, in architecture, the &C.

their wealth is beyond calculation
and their grandeur beyond dcscrip-
ton. From the one castle the duchess
has removed with her children be-

orgies Of her husband, the duke, and
in the other castle the duchess re-
mains confronted by insults and

Before things are right in this
world genteel villains are to be ex-
purgated. Instead Of being well
coined into respectable society be-.
cause of the amount Of stars and
garters and medals and estates they
represent they ought to be fumigated
two or three years before they are
allowed without peril to themselves
to put their hand on the door knob of
a moral house. The time must come
when q masculine estray will be as
repugnant to good society as femi-
nine estray, and no coat Of arms or
family emblazonry or epaulet can pass
a Lothario unchallenged among the
sanctities of home life. By what law
