When Populist Speaker Dunsmore

Populist side Republicans remained quiet.
but Speaker Douglass refused to leave the
stand. He is there holding the fort and
will remain until elected by the military
force of the State. What step the Reoub-
licans will take then is unknown. This de-
cision had been expected all day, and In
the afternoon when the three Demo-
Gratis in the House declared IL their duty
to go over TO the Republicans as the legally
organized House the excitement was so in
tensifed that violence was feared. This
action OF the Democrats meant either
Republican or Democratic United States
Senator, and the leaders in the Populists'
ranks demanded OF Gov Lewelllng that he
organize their House.

suiphur Destroys MANY Lemons.

New Orleans importers OF lemons from
Sicily have made a queer discovery which
cost them heavily During the latter part
OF December the Italian steamship Inizi-
tiva arrived with a load of fine lemons
and horde OF Sicilian immigrants
The lemons brought excellent prices
on account of the fine color OF the fruit and
its apparent freshness. In few days how
ever. the lemons withered and not a trace
OF acid could be found In them. The sell
was soon discovered and an attempt was
made to fix the blame upon the ship
pers. who were believed to have doc
tored the fruit 1t has been learned.
however, that the REGULAR loss of
juice in the lemons while they retained
their rich color was due TO the fumes of
sulphur which were used at quarantine to
fumigate the ship and her passengers when
she arrived. The importers intend to urge
this as reason against the admission of
immigrants to ships bringing perishable
cargoes.

How a Battle Was Nearly Lost.

At the battle of Woerth Lieut.. Gen.
Won Obernitz, when leading the Wurtem.
bergers across the valley, received from
the Crown Prince the order, already
mentioned, to march on the rear of the
French, but shortly afterward the Prus-
sian officers coming from the battle
raging on the plateau told him that rein.
forcements were imperatively required
there, and urged him to come to their
aid. Again the spirit of knowing "better
than ones betters" exercised its PERM
cious influence, and although the power OF
determining when and whether reinforce
ments shall be sent to any point of the
battlefield should above all others rest
absolutely with the supreme commander.
Gen. Won Obernitz elected to judge for
himself, and on to the plateau he led his
troops. For yet two hours the now
utterly mixed-up German troops were
kept from Froshwiller by the intrepid
bravery of their foes.
But now the toughness of the infant
try of the Fifth German Corps was about
to be rewarded; the moment for their
revenge on those who had sent to destruc-
ton their 5000 dead and wounded-of
whom nearly 1900 belonged to the four
regiments, Thirty seventh, Fiftieth, Sixth,
and Forty sixth, first across the stream
was close at hand. 1t was grand re-
venge; it was the splendid victory that
was to crown with laurels the men who
had sinned against them. While they
had been so stubbornly holding on to the
vine clad slopes, time had been given for
oIoosDo. 81 hao
Mahon's As, 900 men by the greater por-
tion of the overwhelming host of their
enemies. And now the French, attacked
from the north, south and east, at last
broke, and, covered bya small rearguard,
fled away out of touch and sight of the
victors through the gap so generously
left open to them by that independent
Lieutenant Gen. Won Obernitz.
The Germans gained their victory by
sheer weight Of numbers, and the sup
port given to Their infantry by an artillery
overwhelmingly superior in number of
guns, technical efficiency. and tactical
employment to that of their opponents.
The French owed their defeat to the
mediocrity of their commander. Against
critics and commentators on the acts of
soldiers in the field, it is sometimes al
legged that they are ''wise after the
event." as regards the battle of Woerth,
it is only wisdom of this kind that the
leading soldiers who took part in it can
find any ground of justification for their
proceedings. Well might German Of
ficer of the very highest rank say, as he
afterwards did: ave were within an
ace Of losing the battle; but the French
did not know it, and l hope they never
may" Probably they know it now

Behold this ruin Twas q skull,
Once Of eher,al spirit iull.
This narrow cell was LIES retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious seat
What beauteous visions filed this spotl
What dreams Of pleasure long forgotl
Nor hope, nor love, nor Joy, nor fear
Has lett the trace Of record here.
Beneath this moldering canopy.
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void
lfsocial love that eye employed;
II with no lawless fire il cleaned,
But through the .dews of kindness beamed
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars aud sun ars sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swim and tunefuI tongues;
III falsehood's honey 1t disdained,
And when 1t could not praise was chained;
II bold in virtues cause ii spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke.
This silent tongue shall speak for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did those fingers delvc the minor
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail to them.
But If the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brou hit,
These hands a richer need shall claim
Than all that waits On wealth or lame.
Avails it whethey bare or shel,
These feet tue paths OF duty trod?
If frornthe bowers of ease they fed,
To seek afflction's humble shed?
If grandeur's guilty bride they spurned.
And home to vir.res cot returned
These feet with angels ieet shall vie
And tread the palace of the sky.

The old woman declaredt that few sights

She stared at him for moment and
broke into grin.
''Get out with you, jester! Do you
think nice woman like the Queen would
marry chap like you, with that hideous

The King was not offended. Perhaps
the compliment to his wife notified him.
He gave the woman piece Of money,
with which he is always free, and passed
along. LIST. Louis Republic.
