WELLINGrON'S MODESTY.

Tho transformation, Way In Which Hs
Announced the victory at Waterloo.
Earl Stanhope's volume of Notes
on Conversations with the Duke Of
Wellington furnishes many interest
ing anecdotes which are not yet famil-
lar to the reading public. Lord Stan
hope tells the following story of Daniel
Webster:
l breakfasted this morning with
Hal,am, and met Mr.. Webster. the
Justly celebrated American, whose ac-
quaintance | had already made the day
but one before at a dinner at Lord
Stanlcy's. He told me that on his way
out he had been reading two or three
odd volumes of the Dulso of Yelling
tons dispatches, and had been greatly
struck ut their total freedom from any
thing like pomp or ostentation, even
in moments of the greatest triumph.
The Waterloo dispatch itself contained
nothing about victory and glory. "
So unpretending was it, said Mr..
Webster, that Mr.. Quincy Adams,
who was our Minister at London at
the time, and who had Il good deal OF
bitter feeling against this country,
with which peace had o1ly just been
concluded, declared, on first reading the
dispatch. that it came from u defeated
General. and that in real truth the
Dukes army must have been ami.
hilated at Waterloo. This he seriously
believed for some time. What a
contrast. continued Mr.. Webster. to
Napolcon's rhetorical bulletins. One
day one read in them: 1--WE have
thrown Blucher into the Bober!" and
! a few days afterward one found that
| Blucher had somehow got out of this
Bobcr and defeated Napoleon himself
at Leipsic.
Lord Stanhope gives the Dukes ver-
| sion of tho way the news Of Waterloo
was brough, TO England, thus: 1.-The
news OF Waterloo was first brought
over by jew in the service of Roths.

arrived to the King of France, and he
saw that the King. after reading the
| letter, embraced the messenger and
kissed him all around the room and
al about the house. Upon this the
jew felt sure that the news was 6
victory, and without an instant,s de
lay set off upon his journey to En-
gland. At Ostend he saw Malcolm
but told him nothing. nor did he Il
any one until he reached Rothschild''
house in the city. He afterward wen
to Lord Liverpool. Lord Mary borough
added that before they sailed from

to the beach, take off his cap ant
wave it in the air. The other peopl

child with catarrhal Group is usually
taken sick suddenly, apparently very
ill indeed, the Group symptoms being
very intense. This occurs usually at
night, and after the first sleep. With
or without treatment the child usually
loses the Group symptoms before morn

grow worse the second night, to have

How an Indignant Man Got Even With an
Absent Minded Individual.

he asked him for light. The request
was granted. Toying ahstractedly a

it had fulfilled its mission, he threw it
out into the street under the impress

and diving his hand into his pocket he
brought out a handsomely engraved
tobacco box and handed it over. The
gentleman took IA chew and threw the

Slave-Tratlers.
p obably no man has ever excelled
Stanley in his wise treatment OF the AZ
ricans. lie seems to have a natural in
stinct OF the best way to manage these
people, who combine great childish
ness with natural ferocity. Stanley is
firm, but kind. considerate and gcner-
Gus. The natives know that he is
strong, and they have faith in his hon.
esty and truth. He has managed the
savages with wonderful skill. The
slave-traders hate and fear him, and
many people have thought that il he
were ever surprised and cut off in
Africa it would be by the malice OF
these bad men, who fear for their
trade. Stanley. like Livingstone, saw
enough OF the horrors OF the slave
trade to be in deadly earnest to do all
that lay in his power to stop it. Tip
poo lib, the Arab trader, has long
been u slavc-dealer, though he has
pretended TO give up that horrible traf-
fic since he has been associated with
Stanley. Very likely, II he ever got a
chance to go into the slave-trade again.
without being found out, he would do
it, And. II Stanley stood in his way.
some men think Tippoo Tib would not
hesitate even to kill Stanley, and SO
be rid of him. Tippoo Tib is now a
very great man in Central Africa. He
is enormously rich, and he can raise IL
force of many thousands of men when-
ever he has occasion to call for them
1t is singular that it should now be
thought necessary to send search

Being rocky State, Maine abounds
in caves. of which the outside world
knows very little. 1t is true there are
no caverns like the Mammoth cave in
Kentucky or the Luray caverns in Vii'-

wood ice-caves are sufficiently inter-

are
These natural curiosities are about
"a dozen in nunber, Valleys cave
being the largest. 1t is a double-stori-
ed cavern, the lower chambers being
some four hundred or five hundred feet
in length and about twelve feet in
width. The exit is at the top Of the
mountain. The upper chamber is very
much smaller, and is connected with
the first by a passage large enough for
half dozen to pass abreast.
One Of the caves is shaped like a
well. and is from twenty to thirty feet
in depth. There are regular steps.

SNOW INTRENCnMeNTS.
4 Ser cs oi Experiments by y Norw eg ian
Engineer Oniccr.

The Norwegian Military Gazette has
periments carried on at Frederikshald,
in Norway. in the early part of this
year, under the superintendent of
Colonel Hertzberg. with the view OF
ascertaining how far snow could be
made use of for defensive intrench-
Of special interest for the soldiers Of
Northern countries. The substance of
the report has been reproduced in
several German papers. One of the
experiments was the following: A
brcastwork was constructed, 20 meters
eng. Ia high, and 3 meters thick at
the ground, sloping up to 1.5 or even
meters thick at the top. 1t was
made by the soldiers rolling snow balls,
putting them in a row. and then filing
the interstices with snow packed tight
by means Of snow shovels, swords
bayonets, etc. Shots were fired from
tiarmanu guns, at distance OF about
80 meters. Seven shots aimed at the
upper portion, about three decimetres
below the top, went clean through the
thickness of the breastworks. the
points of penetration varying from
l.90 to l.5S. Three aimed at about
90 or OF below the top re
mained in the snow and were
afterwards dug out 1t appeared that
one of them penetrated to IA depth o
4 l25. another of 1.20. and third to ,
depth of 1.03 only. The snow was
quite free from fragment. of ice; bu
the projectiles were all found to b,

the thermometer stood at = degrees

were fired. but at distance Of 10
