A Climbing Bullock.

At the great slaughter houses in the
Partisan suburb of La Villstte there is
granary fiom which the beasts await
ing execution are fed. The way to it is
up substantial ladder staircase. One
of the bullocks, having escaped from the
pens. climbed up this staircase before he
could be stopped. When his escape was
first discovered, he was seen on the
stairs, slowly and laboriously making
his way upward. As soon as he reached
the granary two or three attendants fol-
lowed him and endeavored to get him
down, but all their efforts were unavail-
ing. There was nothing to be done,
therefore, but to leave the beast there
to eat his fill and then see whether he
would be clever enough to return by the
way he went. Possibly some thought
of exhibiting him in public may have
crossed the minds of his guardians, but
if so they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The stupid animal, instead of
trusting to the staircase, got out of a
window on the opposite side of the
building and put one foot ON little
thin ladder standing against it. There
was crash, the ladder broke in half
and the too adventurous bullock fell.

killed on the spot. -Paris Letter.

OdAf Len AAlA.
1t is within an hour of sunset on a
winters day. An inch of snow covers
the earth like a royal carpet. and dark
and ragged clouds drive last across
cold blue sky.
In front of Rest Haven, looking to tho
south, the hills recede and leave an al
most level plain on which there is no
greater obstruction than an occasional
tree or bush. A creek which has its
birthplace in the mountains meanders
across this plain, but divides it about
equally. The plain is large enough for
5000 cavalry to maneuver on, and along
its edges are dozen spots on which
field artillery can be posted adyanta-
geously.
Attention, now, for you are going to
witness one of the grandest sights in war
Ia cavalry fight! Only few of the
Confederates have appeared in sight,
but Custer has gnessed the situation and
is preparing for it. While he is issuing
orders and the squadrons are moving
and the artillery gailoping into position,
one OF his aids is hurryiDg up the move
to abandon the house. Wrapped in her
bedding instead Of shioud, the dead
woman is borne to III ambulance by
troopers with uncovered heads and rev.

madmen half an hour hence. Marian
goes with her dead, Royal Kenton into
an ambulance by himself. The vehicles
take the road for the Federal lines.

Uncle Ben stood in the midst of the
hustle with bundles and packages in his
arms and at his feet. He was told to get
into the vehicle with Kenton, and next
moment six horses were galloping gup
over the spot where he had stood.

CHAPTER Xxx


While the fight was raging the house
and quarters were both in flames,
fired by the shells from a Confederate
gun. But for the strenuous efforts of
the detachment guarding the prisoners
in the barn that structure would have
also been reduced to ashes. 1t therefore
came about that when the battle was
over and men began to bring in the
wounded the barn was the only shelter
to be had. The prisoners were turned
out and the place given up to moaning,
grooming men and those who sought to
succor them. The sounds of battle had
been heard in the Federal lines, and a
brigade Of infantry arrived about 8
clock in the evening. While their
services were not needed. the half dozen
surgeons sent out with the column had
work to last them the long night through
and far into the next day.
1t is grim sight, field hospital like
this, and they are grim men into whose
hands the wounded fall as they are lift
ed off tho stretchers, grooming, cursing
or crying. The flight of snowflake In
gale of wind is not more erratic than
the fight of death missiles in battle.
Here are men wounded in the face; the
next three or four may be wounded in
the feet or ankles. Sabers have descend
ed upon heads and shoulders; bullets
have plowed their way into arms, sides,
hips or legs; fragments of shell have
carried away fingers and reduced hands

1.-THE most eloquent speakers are not
the most powerful says Hon. John
Fithian of Illinois. There are men
who could hold an audience spellbound
with speech about cockroach and at
the close of it the people would not
know whether the cockroach was an
animal, bird or piece of machinery.
l saw an illustration of this one time in
a political meeting. One of the most
eloquent speakers in the country is En-
erson Etheridge. and heard him deliver
a speech that swayed the hearers like
music at the hands of a master. There
was nothing that he could not do with
the crowd while they were under his
control. His opponent had a voice like
big bass viol, halted and stammered,
but confined himself to hoinely Ian
guage and rather coarse ridicule. l
watched the vote in that precinct, and
the measure advocated by the eloquent
speaker scarcely received vote, while
the other man had carried everything
before him as if by storm. -

II Is generally believed in Christian
countries that Mussulman can marry
as many women as be pleases. This is
an error. Whoever he may be and no
matter to what society he may belong
the Mussulman can only have four legi-
innate wives at time. 1t is only the
number Of odalisks that is unlimited,
and that depends upon the amount of
a mans fortune. He can have as many
odalisks as be Is able to support. The
children born of odalisks. or even slaves,
are recognized by law as inst on the
same footing MS the children born of
wives. Among the Mussulmans there
are no illegitimate children, and the
fact that man mother was = slave is
no dishonor and no disgrace San
