A Waterloo Hero.

A farmhouse with am orchard sur
rounded by a thick hedge, formed a
most important point in the British
position at Waterloo, and was ordered
to be held against the enemy at any
sacrifice. The hottest Of the battle
ragged around this point. but the Eng
lish behaved well and beat back the
French again and again
At last the formers powder and ball
were found TO be running short; at the
same time the hedges surrounding the
orchard took fire. a messenger was
sent t o the rear for more powder and
ball. and in a short time two loaded
wagons came galloping down to the
farmhouse, the gallant defenders Of
which were keeping up a scanty fire
through the flames which surrounded
the post.
The driver of the first wagon spurred
his struggling horses through the burn
ing heat, but the flames rose fiercely
around and caught the powder. which
exploded, sending rider. horses and
wagon in fragments through the air.
For one instant the driver Of the second
wagon paused, appalled, by his com
rade's fate; the next, observing that
the flames, beaten back for a moment
by the explosion, afforded him one
desperate chance, he sent his horses at
the smoldering breach, and amid the
cheers Of the garrison landed his cargo
safely within. New York Recorder.

Mired Raee. In south Ado.

There is probably not a civilized roof
In South Africa which covers people of
only one nationality; as a rule, they
are of three or four. We take a typical
Cape household before US at the mo
ment; the fatheris English, the mother
half Dutch and half French Huguenot,
with French name, the children sharing
three nationalities; the g%overness is a
Scotehwoman, the cook a Zulu, the
housemaid half Hottentot ard half
Dutch, the kitchen girl half Dutch and
half slave, the stable boy a Kahr, and
the little girl who waits at table a Bar
suto.
This household is a type of thou
sands Of others TO be found everywhere
throughout Africa If a homely and
crude illustration may be allowed, the
people of South Africa resemble the in
gradients Of a pudding when they are
in the process of being stirred together
IN a basin-plums, eggs, wine, -four
and water. To hope to resort them is
vain; for good or for evil, the mixture
is madei they have so permeated each
others substance that again TO resort
them is impossible, however much we
may wish it-Fortnightly Review.

single leaf, but nom would dare pluck

A passing breeze sways the branches,

There is no ghoop of exultation, no

Gangrene and Its Results.

but threatened to become so. This
chronic malady Is one that generally
leads TO death from some such accident.
Queen Charlotte, that most prim and
exacting of royal ladies on insignificant
and irksome points of etiquette. was
carried away at a ripe old age by a
gangrene arising from a elumsily darned
stocking wounding her heel when she
was staying at Bath. Louis XVIII
died from a gaDgrene foot, the direct
consequence of its having been bitten
by a Norfolk Howard, but indirectly
brought on by his not having walked
for years and continuing to indulge, as
when a young man, in the pleasures OF
the table. He used to hold his levees
and drawing rooms seated in a bath
chair.
Louis XIV. who also played a good
knife and fork until his last illness, was
carried off by a g~angrenous affection,
and so was Henry VIII Charcot twice
before pulled Dom Pedro through dan
gerous illnesses. When he was attacked
with pneumonia he allowed no food to
the august patient, and prevented waste
Of tissue by simultaneous injections OF
