THE MARCH TO ACADEMY GREEN.

and was dragged from his saddle. Tho
mare tried to shake him off, but he set
his teeth and hung on, the veins in his
forehead swelling almost to bursting,
and his head swimming until he could
not see. His feet did not touch the
ground, and his weight was so light that
she slackened but did not cease rum
ming. She was furious at his inter-
ference. She reared on her hind feet,
and tried to strike him with her front
hoofs. She even tried to bite him, but
he held on with wonderful courage and
endurance. He realized that she was
gradually becoming subdued, that she
was stopping, that his school-fellow was
safe! Then he tainted away.
Barry Cartwright was the hero of the
day, after all. He was somewhat dam
aged hero, for his shoulder was dislo-
Gated, and his hands were terribly
bruised; but then warrior must expect
some bodily injuries. The boys focked
about him and praised him until he was
overwhelmed by his sudden popularity.
The teachers called him a hero, and
that confused him all the more. Then
Mr.. Fleming thanked him SO fervently
that he scarcely knew the proud man in
his sudden humility.
The battle was never finished. The
Baron Knyphausen couldn't fight, and
there wasn't soldier in Springfield
who would have been willing to stand
up against him, even in play.
Herbert went home with Barry, and
staid with him all the rest of the day.
Barry" he said, "I've felt like thief,
for 1 stole your generalship! I've been
awfully miserable about it. 1 saw how
mean had been, and I knew you must
despise me. And you saved my life!
You'll never want me near you, and yet
I'd be proud if you could only let me be
your friend!"
Barry held out both of his hands and
smiled. 'The war is over" he said, land
we won't have any more hard fee ling. I
think we will like each other better aft
er this"
And peace was declared.-Frances B.

Undesirable Immigration.

The annual immigration of nearly
half a million of people who have no
knowledge of our language, no con-
Ception of our government, no tradi-
tons or habits of free institutions, no
general intelligence. ability or skill,
and who come because they cannot
hold their own elsewhere, is certainly
one of the most important Of public
questions. But it is the one which
receives the least attention, because
parties and Congress are MORALLY
afraid of alternating the support of
the most unintelligent vote in the
country if they ask whether it is ex-
pedient to foster its increase. The
immigration during the year ending
June 50, 1890, amounted to 451,21o,
an increase Of I2,6oo over that Of
the preceding year, when the num-
bers were 438,6Io. The Chicago
america has been looking at the de-
tails, and finds that while this was
the increase Of the whole year, that
of the first six months Of this year
was 24,536 more than that of the
corresponding months of last year
This is not in itself an agreeable
fact, because the desirability of i'm
migration lies in the quality, not in
the quantity.
But it appears that the whole net
increase is of the most undesirable
kind The immigration from Ger

THE HONDURAS RESURRECTION.
Serious Loss 10 the American Colony
Cause of the Outbreak.

Cause of the Outbreak.
The instruction of General Sanchez, which
was quelled by the recspture of the arsenal
and the capture and shooting Of the insurgent
chief resulted in serious loss to the American
colony, the gallant Col. Alden II. Baker, Of
New Orleans, being killed and Henry Smith,
of Georgia, wounded.
The tragic events leading up to this sad loss
TO the small number of Americans here have
been brewing for some time, although no one
suspected an instruction at the time it oc-
Cured.
Some weeks ago the Americans in Honduras,
60 in Teguaeigalpa and about 500 in the re-
public, signed g paper agreeing 10 support
President BOgran in case an effort at revolu.
ton should be made. Bogran was not at the
capital when the emeute occurred, hut IS soon
as the news reached him he fastened 10 the
yicinityo Teguaeigalpa and began to organize
q force for its capture.
The soldiers from other departments we're
called TO his assistance, the people rose in his
favor and the Americans rallied TO his stand
ard from sll points of the republic, bringing
with them their Winchesters,
On the 18th the troops Of the president re-
captured the palace after stubborn fighting,
in which the Americans bore conspicuous
part.
On the 18th Fort Leona was stormed. The
arsenals and barracks were carried by assault
on the 18th. Sanchez escaped from the city,
but was promptly pursued, captured and shot,
thus ending brief, bloody and hopeless revo-
luton.
The general president Of the republic has
acknowledged in general order his thanks
to the American volunteers for their powerful
assistance
