overcoat ana mis- helmet, and was erect and
alert A colored servant was in charge of
his carriage. The three carriages belonged
respectively to the king, Bismarck and
Moltke
Standing near the king, his feet wide apart
and holding a field glass to his eyes, was
Gen. Philip II. Sheridan, who was Bismarck's
guest, and had ridden 10 the field in the car
riage Of the chancellor The old uniform Of
Sheridan was dingy beside the new clothes
worn by the German leaders, who had been
in the field but three weeks, and had not en-
countered many rain and dust storms. The
hour was twenty minutes after II, and the
sounds of battle began to thicken and deepen.
The scattering shots of the skirmiShers were
lost in the roar of firing by regiments, and
the tremendous German artillery began to
play like some sublime orchestra. There
were many dead horses and many blood
stains about, and a penetrating, sour smell
came from them Between two swollen mon

was soon absorbed III one of the grandest
scenes that mortal ever gazed upon.
1t occurred to me at the moment that no
descriptive language could be better than
that employed by Henry J. Raymond in
writing of the battle of Solferno. He said
that two storm clouds seemed to have de
scended TO the earth, and to be pouring their
lightnings and thunderings into each other.

skies, and there whIrling abysseS of vapor,
vibrating as if electrified-were darby

over the French lines, where the iron rain of
the German artillery fell, was spotted with
the tiny clouds pulled by the exploding
shells.
could see the galloping of horsemen bear
ing orders through the fiery mist-the surging
march of the troops, block after block of the
blue divisions of Germany Crowding to the
eft-the sparkle of steel and of the helmets,
like flashes of starlight on a raging seattle
long darts of fire from the breech loading
cannon of the Germans, which were each
discharged at times almost as fast as cow
boy fires his revolver could discern the
French positions for near three miles outlined
by tilckering fire, and pillows of smoke that
seemed to swell from a series of Niagaras;
and heard the awful uproar comprehending
a thousand stunning shocks, rising at times
to majesty that was beyond all faculty of
measurement, and reminded one of tran
scendent burst of music-but there was moth
ing in all the wonderful pyrotechnics and
monstrous clamor to tell how the battle was
going. -Murat Halstead in The Century.

Trustworthiness of Zulu Guides.

A whole evenings experience of paths like
these might well suggest to Mrs. ker and
myself some doubts as to the good faith of
the tall, muscular Zulu who strides before
us, his woody head crowned with the ring of
black gum that p-Oclalms him a married
man, and his huge, bony fists clutching the
knobkerry club and assegai spear, without
which no respectable Zulu can go anywhere
or do anything. Often during the past week
n&d heard the colonists declare That a Zulu
may be trusted with untold gold; but just as

In whittier's Boyhood.

The neighbors were as simple and
as frugal as the Whittiers, though
some of them were not 70 intelligent.
They still believe in witches, and one
night at a husking, when a big black
bug buzzed into the room, 1t was de-
clared to be an old woman who was
suspected of witchcraft. They struck
at it aud knocked it down. and when
on the next day the old woman was
found in her cottage. they would not
believe that the bruises with which she
was covered had been received in q
fall downstairs as she claimed, and in
sisted that they were the marks of the
blows struck at the bug. Old Captain
P, who lived near her, and had q
house and several barns, covered them
all over with horseshoes to keep the
witch out,
Their simplicity is illustrated by still
another story. A nan was seen looking
about in the woods with q gun, and
gazing into all the bushes and up into
the trees. At first they thought he
was a lunatic, and then decided tina,
he was q British spy, and arrested him,

The Trenton True American says:
''Senator Baker feels very easy about
the unconstitutionality of his amend
ments. He thinks tine effort being
made by the Republican press tofright'
eli the people by such a ghost scare will
amount to nothing. He said he had
several talks with Attorney General
Stockton before he voted on the meas-
ure as to its constitutionality, and that
gentleman said that it was just as con-
stitutional as the local option law pass
ed last year. He did not consider that
in consOnance with the Constitution
but the courts 81 declared it. and ii
tina was constitutional, says The At
torney General, then the present bill,
with the Baker amendments, is surely
so. Governor Green has expressed the
same opinion to the Senator, and he
feels sure thai il is all right"
