WellingtOn's Plans.

Before the battle of Waterloo, no one
was probably more uneasy than Lord
U1bridge, who, if Wellington should be
killed, would be called upon to succeed
him in command, and who knew nothing
whatever about the dukes plans.
Il am in a very difficult position" he
sad to a friend. "If any accident hap
pens to the duke, shall find myself COM
m,nderin-chief would give anything
inthe world to know the dukes projects,
ard yet dare not ask him what ought
todo."
After some consultation Oh the subject,
they went together to Wellington and
frankly told him the difficulty in hand
The duke listened without impatience,
ard at the end of Lord Uxbridge's speech,
he said. calmly: "Who will attack the
fist tomorrow, or Bonaparte?"
"Bonaparte," replied Lord Uxbridge.
"Well," continued the duke. Bona
psrte has not given me any idea of his
Projects, and. as my plans will depend
upon his, how can you expect me to tell
you what mine are?'
Lord Uxbridge bowed and made no
reply, The duke rose, and continued,
Touching him in a friendly way on the
shoulder:
"rhere is one thing certain, Uxbridge
that Is, that whatever happens, you
andl will do our duty"
LIE then shook his hand warmly, and
they separated, Lord Uxbridge no wiser
than before, yet feeling that Wellington
had trusted him exactly as far as his
reti,ent nature would allow.
Yet the great duke did depend in a
great measure upon the application Of
common sense to the needs of the mo-
inert. When he was once asked how he
succeeded in conquering Napoleon's mar
shab, one after another. he replied
They planned their campaigns just
as you might make splendid set of har-
ness 1t looks very well and answers
vert well until it gets broken. and then
you are done for. Now, | make my
campaign of ropes. If anything went
wrng, tied a knot and went on

A Public Service.

DR.. C. w. Dulles, of Philadelphia, has
done public service for which he de-
serves thanks. A narrowing dispatch
was sent from a western town telling
how young girl had been buried alive,
every one supposing her to be dead. DR..
Dulles took the trouble to write to re-
sponsible people in the town named, and
learned that there was not word of
truth in the story. More recently an
other similar story was sent from Spring
field, o., and the doctor investigated
that also, 1t proved to be a lie like the
other, The probabilities are that every
such story would prove to be equally de-
void of the fact if it was Investigated.
And the same might be said of the stories
about snakes in peoples stomachs.

A marriage celebration in Algeria is
an interesting relic of ancient customs.
The bridegroom goes to bring a BRIDE
and the guests assembled outside the
house will wait for his coming Soon the
sound of pipe is heard coming from the
summit of some neighboring hill and
the marriage procession approaches the
bridegroom house.
The pipers always come first in the
procession, then the bride muliled up in
a veil, riding a mule led by her lover
Then comes a bevy of gorgeously dressed
damsels, sparkling with silver orna-
ments. after which the friends of the
bride follow.
The procession stops in front of the
bridegroom house, and the girls friends
line both sides of the pathway. The
pipers march off on one side, while the
bridegroom lifts the girl from the mule
and holds her in his arms. The girls
friends thereupon throw earth at the
bridegroom when he hurries forward
and carries her over the threshold of his
house. Those about the door beat him
with olive branches, amid much laugh
ter
In the evening, on some occasions, the
pipers and drummers are called in, and
the women dance, two at time. facing
each other; nor does a couple desist
until, painting and exhausted, they step
aside to make room for another The
dance has great energy of movement,
though the steps are small and changes
of position slight, the dancers only cir
cling round occasionally.
But they swing their bodies about with
an astonishing energy and suppleness.
AS leaves hutter before the gale. so do
they vibrate to the music; they shake;
they SILVER and tremble; they extend
quvering arms, wave wells. and their
minds seem lost in the abandon and
frenzy of the dance, while the other wo-
men, looking on, encourage by their
high, piercing, trlling cries, which add
to the noise of the pipes and drums.-

AFTER DANGERS OF THE GRIP. I"

Adolphus TrollOpe's Cook.

M. Trollope was fortunate in securing
attached servants. Once. when he paid
a lung visit to Venice, his devoted Tus-
can attendants took positive pride in
fighting it out with the ''foreign" trades
people over lire and contesimi But oc-
casDnally he stumbled on a sad excep-
tioH to the rule, and we have one strik-
ingexample of how superstition may ex-
list ode by side with irreligion and ras-
caliy. A cook had been robbing him
right and left. The one mans word was
set Against that of the other, and it came
to a case of hard swearing in court be-
tween the master and the servant. A
Gucifix was handed to the cook, and he
vas invited to take oath to his allega-
tons. He twice essayed to utter the
hlsehood he intended to swear to, but
twice he was unable to utter a word,
turned as white as sheet. and fell
10 the floor in a fainting iit. -LondSn

Gods Acre.

The old Teutonic and Saxon term,
Gods Acre. as applied to the last rest
ing place of the human body. Longfel-
low made the theme of one of his most
touching and beautiful poems; it is an
eminently suggestive term. The acre OF
field of God contains the seed hidden in
the ground for a while, to ripen into a
glorious harvest; and. just as we write
the labels in the spring time for seed we
put IN the ground, that we may remem-
Der what beautiful flower is to spring
from the little gray atom, so we put a
stone at the head of the grave of our
dead. The name Cemetery also signi-
fies merely the place where one may lie,
slumbering for awhile, till the dawn
shall come and the trumpet sound.-St.

And So and so my heart is wrung'

They shook my beauteous almond tree
Beating its glorious bloom to death
They strewed it round upon the ground
And Knocked its fragrant dying breath.

Col. stump on the Force Bill.

Hon. Herman Stump, our representative
in Congress, delivered an excellent speech in
the House, on the 1st instant, in opposition to
the Force Bill. He sharply criticized Repre-
sentative McComas, of Mary land, whose par
tsan zeal led linn 10 argue that there was in
timidation of negro voters in Maryland. and
to.complain that the people Of this State are
not allowed local seli-goycrnment. because
the appointment OF school commissioners is
made by the Judges in the several counties.
Col. Stump denounced the bill Us revolu-
tionary and sectional in its character-an eff
fort OF the Republican party to grasp unlim-
tied power by obliterating the inherent rights
of the States and creating centralized ma
tional government After referring to the
motives which prompted this infamous legis-
lation, he showed clearly its unconstitution-
atty and added
The balance of power in at least
twelve of the Northern and Western
States is held by the negroes. The white
vote of the North is held i'll subsection by
the negro, and unless the white vote in the
South is also controlled by the negro vote,
the existence of the Republican party is i'm
periled. So The fiat has gone forth. The
negro vote in the South must be registered,
polled and counted for that party. And we
must take into Federal hands-our hands, for
the Federal Government is in our hands now
the Federal elections
What more iniquitous scheme could have
been devised for this purpose than the bill
now under consideration? 1t provides for
its own registration of votes, counting the
returns. and certifying the results by officers
appointed by its own partisans, and respon-
sible only to them. 1t provides for juries
composed entirely of Republicans to try
Democrats for alleged offenses against this
act, and gives authority to supervisors to in
woke the aid of the military forces of the
country whenever they may deem it neces-
sary.
The deputy supervisors have inquisitorial
authority; they are directed before an cleo
ton to make house-to-house canvass. They
are to "guard, scrutinize and supervise" the
registration, and, in fact, carry on the cleo
tion campaign for the Republican party at
the expense of the Federal Government at q
cost of SIC, 000,00
