BURD EN- OF TAXATION
A Soldiers Fortirude.

l crossed the ocean not long ago with
an English general of renown, who had
come home from the Soudan covered
with glory and honor, and with the Vic
tOria cross to wear upon his breast,
writes correspondent of the San Fran
cisco ArgOnaut, In the very peal of his
triumphs he became conscious that a
malignant disease was fastening itself
upon him. His physicians pronounced
it incurable cancer of the throat, and
warned him that his doom would come
soon.
His resolve was soon taken. He had
faced death in the battlefield, but he
would not face the long, wearing grief
of an invalid wife and delicate daugh-
ter; nor should they see him suffer the
hopeless agonies of the months of life
that lay before him.
He told them that he was coming to
America to hunt buffalo. There are
English people who still believe that the
plains are full of buffalo. His speech
was already affected when he gave his
last yearning look at the shores of his
English home, but his family suspected
nothing. He died, some few months
after, up in the New Hampshire hills
among strangers.

THAT NIGHT.

Sou and ], and that night, with its perfume
and glory
The scent of the locusts-the light of the
moon;
And the violins weaving the walters
story,
Enmeshing their feet in the weft of the
tune,
Till their shadows uncertain
Reeled round on the curtain,
While under the trellis we drank in the
June.
Soaked through with the midnight the cedars
were sleeping,
Their shadowy tresses outlined in the
bright
Crystal, moon-smilten mists, where the fount
aims heart, leaping
Forever
Forever, forever burst, full with delight:
And its lisp on my spirit
Fell faint as that near it
Whose love like lily bloomed out in the
night.
Oh, your glove was an odorous sachet of
blissesl
The breath of your fan was breeze of
Cathay!
And the rose at your throat was a nest Of
spilled kisses!
And the music-in fancy hear it to day,
AS sit here. confessing
Our secret, and blessing
My rival who found us, and waltzed you
away.

A few nights ago a man burst into
the police station at Omaha. HIS hat
was. gone, his hair was disheveled.

startled officers. His clothing was

other a gOry hatchet. Walking up to
