He suffers too much. 1t is better to
finish him. Let him die like soldier,
with ball in his head-the death of the

An old sergeant approached and, with
more feeling than if he had an enemy TO
deal with, he placed the barrel of his gun
at the dogs ear and blew of his head.
1t was necessary 70 retreat again, and
this time definitively. But the zouaves
carried away their Tag. They carried
away also the body of Lieut. Bayardet
and that of his faithful comrade Sid,
who were buried together as they had
lived. on the very night of the battle,
where the troops halted, at the edge Of
the woods.

counted fifteen sentinels. Bayardet re-
traced his steps to execute the same
maneuver. Then the dog stopped again,
refusing to advance and uttering his low
growl. The lieutenant kept quiet, listen
ing and trying to see.
At that moment, by pale ray Of
moonlight filtering through a cloud,
Bayardet saw, ten steps ahead of him,
leaning against a willow, soldier of the
hostile army, who was gently tapping
his feet on the ground to keep them
warm, the night being cold. Bayardet
was about to retire, when, beside this
soldier, another, who was probably sit
ting or lying down, emerged from the
shadow. Bayardet, betrayed by the
moons rays, had just been seen in his
turn.
who's there"
The lieutenant made no answer, but
cooked his revolver.
"Who is there?" articulated the senti-
mel more distintly.
At the same moment two shots rang
OAN1 "AIAI IiACAA AlOAoJ anu 1ChC1
echoes, in the deep silence of the night.
1t was Bayardet and one of the two SEN
tinels who had just fred at the same
time. Almost Immediately after them
the other fired, too. The lieutenant an
swered his fire, and he experienced the
delight of seeing a Prussian soldier
stretch out as an inert mass.
Orders in German flew in every direc-
ton; noise of marching men arose; q
few shots were heard here and there.
Bending as low as possible, Bayardet
bounded through the fields to rejoin his
troop. With his own skill, added to
Sidi's guidance, he could not make mis-
take, although the moon had disappeared
again and the darkness was thicker than
ever. He soon regained his companions,
who, for that matter, were running to
meet him.
Retreat, and be quick about it!'' said
Bayardet. 1--WE must leave these fell
lows alone for today"

SUdoenty ne stopped, nus mar 6T'iStttHQ, ana
uttered slight, tOlO grolcL.
Sergeant" said Bayardet to an old
veteran of the African wars, "you will
take command until | return. 1t is i'm
possible to proceed further-the ground
is too bare. A troop of men could not
pass unnoticed. If | should not return
in fifteen or twenty minutes, it will be
because l have been captured or killed.
Then you will make a detour. But Sidi
may get away. At any rate, if you see
him come back, look in his mouth for a
paper. If you find one, read it, and you
will know what you are to do. If not,
then you can be almost sure that my &C
count has been settled. But if you hear
shots, run as fast as you can in the direc-
ton of them"
And he started with his dog.
The night was growing darker and
darker. Nothing stirred in the plain,
which seemed deserted. All that was
percepibe was the thousand slight
sounds that make the silence seem
deeper-the beating of the wings of some
night bird, the buzzing of insects, the
rustling Of the grass in the wind.
Crouching down toward the ground, his
scabbard tucked in his belt to avoid the
clashing, the lieutenant went on, trying
TO pierce the darkness and stopping every
minute to place his ear against the earth.
Sid, three steps ahead of him, with his
nose now in the air, now close to the
ground, inhaled the odors Of the night
and sought some scent still vague. Sud
denly he stopped. his hair bristling, and
uttered q slight, low growl.
"Sh-h-h-h! be still, Sidi." said Bay
ardet in a low voice.
And the lieutenant, more slowly than
ever and holding his breath. continued
to advance. The dog did not stop growl-
ing. In few minutes Bayardet, who
was literally creeping, Strengthened up

He was on the edge of road, and on
the other side Of this road he saw, stand
ing on the slope Of the trench, a dark
shadow.

point, would be turned into a bloody

Painting Women Struggling for Bargains.
THE END.

Painting Women Struggling for Bargains
A rival store advertised that it might
be well to ''look out for fun" in certain
dry goods center that afternoon, where
upon the shop which had just got through
an experience of fainting women at once
did up wooden chalhes IN pieces of thirty
five yards each and directed that these
bundles should be sold across the counter
at one cent each.
One of the floor walkers, in speaking
of the scene after the bargains had been
exhausted, said: The store looked like a
battlefield after preliminary skirmish.
In my vicinity there were twenty women,
all o. whom had tainted from their
struggle to secure part of the allotment
of challies. They were laid out carefully
upon the rugs which had been taken
from stock for their accommodation,
each one with a clerk bending over her
administering smelling salts or bathing
her head with cologne, working like
beavers in order to get their patients
around in time for closing the store.
Il suppose that the sacrifice of dress
goods cost the store upward of So 900,
but it gained this: For months the women
who succeeded In getting what they
sought, as well as the unfortunate ones,
will not fail to visit the shop regularly
every day to take advantage of any other
bargains which may be given unan-
nounced. They will, each time they
come in, buy something, even if it be
only half dozen buttons, and the profits
from these women, who would not, I'M
der any other circumstances, enter the
place, will return the outlay Of the firm
many hundred per cent. New York

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

Nh. EDITOR The need of an indus
trial school for white girls in North
Carolina has for several years been
p~ressingly felt by many of the most
earnest hearted women within her
limits. The fact that the State, after
founding the University and Agricul
tural College for young men, appro
PIRATES annually the sum of So. 900 to
ca h, while it gives to the girls abso-
solutely nothing after the pittance
doled out in the public schools, would
lead one to suppose that they are other
wise amply provided for. Let us ex-
amize the case. The churches make
a show of providing for the education
of the daughters, but how is this done?
Fine buildings r erected and loaned
to private individuals who run the
schools purely as a business, and either
the money must be payed or the girls
stay at home. No endowment fund
reduces their expenses as in the case
of their brothers at Chapel Hill. True,
very many are assisted privately, but
| am now speaking of the provision
made generally. 1t follows that only
girls whose parents have means or
those who find friends in their need,
can enter these denomin Ational schools.
We should except the daughters of
ministers to whom-if [ am correctly
informed-great reductions are made.
What becomes of the vast majority of
girls2 What opportunity do tn y
have? Let them work their way
through school. Many doubtless do
when they can fill vacancies about
the respective schools, but other.

TO THE sUB-ALLIANcEs OF
NORTH CAROLINA.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SlsTERs:-A
low me to express my congratulations
to YOU for the conquest of principle In
the recent election, and in the quiet
and Christian way you take your sue
cess.
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again.
The eternal years of God are hers"
Who knows but this grand organ1
cation of the laboring classes of this
country is the In instrument under Gods
direction to a v this Republic from
anarchy and ruin ? We have many
examples of Gods Intervention in be-
half of those under oppression
"ground down by the iron heel OF
despotism," without human power to
extricate themselves. We, it's true,
have human power (numbers), but
without Gods sanction and His spirit
to direct this power in the right dlrec
ton, we shall fail to accomplish the
OBJECT sought. There have been many
victories gained, through blood and
death, carnage and ruin. But be it
far from the Alliance to gain its ends
through such savage means. The
laws of the Alliance are reason and
equity; it's cardinal doctrines inspire
purity of thought and life; its inten,
tions are, "P0ace on earth and good
will toward men" The grand end Of
the Alliance, as [ conceive it, is to
elevate mankind, especially the agri
cultural and laboring classes, through
education, both moral anu intellectual.
Through our Sub Alliances and
through our organs, both State and
National, are the mediums through
which the grand and Christian princi
pies of the Alliance must be taught.
Unity Of purpose and unity of action
must be our motto. The Pole star of
our hope is God. While we "watch
the heavens and work the EARTH"
every eye must turn to God, every
heart throb in prayer and praise to
Him who has never lost a battle OF
permitted the flag of those who trust
in Him to trail in the dust.
My dear brothers and sisters, re
member the first day of January and
fail not to assemble yourselves to
gether, that on the first day of the
new year, one united voice Of prayer
and praise from nearly 5000 Sub
Alliances in North Carolina may go
up to God for help and guidance.
Fraternally,

.AREMARKABLE CROP CONTEST

Nearly 1000 bushels Of potatoes, or,
to be exact, 974 bushels and 48 pounds
have been grown on one acre of land
in Johnson county, Wyoming, the
past season. This crop wins the first
prize Of several hundred dollars off
cred by the american AgrjcWltUrtSt for
the largest yield of potatoes on one
extra C r 1t was grown on virgin
soil, without manure or fertilizer, but
the land was rich in potash, and the
copious irrigation vas of water also
rich in saline material. There were
%, 800 hills on n acre, and 1850
pounds of sets, containing one, two
and three eyes were planted Of the
Early Vermont and Manhattan vari,
cites. The profit on the crop on this
first prize acre was STA exclusive of
$500 in prizes. Another large crop
was that Of R, A. Chisholm Of Del
Norte, Colo, of 847 IL bushels on
1000 pounds of fertilizer. There was
great interest in the competition in
the famous potato growing county of
Aroostook, Northern Maine, where
the crops secured ranged from $50 to
745 bushels per acre. These crops
largely exceed those grown in a SINH,
lar competition last year, when 1873
l 2 bushels of potatoes in Aroostook
county took the grand prize of ST., 100.
Other prize crops last year were-l35
bushels of oats on one acre, 80 bush
els of wheat and 255 bushels of
shelled corn. 1t appears from the
forthcoming issue Of the American Az
racul:WrsSt, in which the results of the
contest are to appear, that the aver
age Western potato crop on virgin
soil is hardly up to that under ordi.
nary culture in the East, while intel.
ligent fertilization seems equally prof,
table in both sections. The wonder
full oper ation of the mysterious labra.
tory of the soil is emphasized by the
evidence in this competition that crops
were increased so or 100 per cent. by
the application of actually pure plant
food at the rate of only one pound to
100 or 200 square feet of land. The
sup eriority of fertilizers or chemical
manures over stable manure for pota-
toes is also emphasized by the two
years contest.
