"Th-th-thunder!" stammered the poor
fellow, they shan't keep mine"
And he set on on the run towards that
side OF the town. There. too, all was
confusion. National guards, civilians
and gardes mobiles were walking about.
Deputations passed, trembling, on their
way TO the marshal's house. Hornus
saw nothing. heard nothing. He hurried

as he kept that II seemed II him that
nothing was lost.
Unfortunately. as there was no more
fighting, the Colonel kept the nag at his
quarters in one OF the suburbs OF Metz,
and honest Hornus was very like a
mother whose child Is out at nurse.
He thought OF 1t continually, and when
his longing for II became uncomfortable

His sentences were broken up by his

follow him to fall upon the Prussians

There was the flag before him. It was

but one clear idea in his ~head-that his
flag was at the arsenal. and that, come
what would. he must see II again.
The arsenal gates were opened wide
for the passage OF the Prussian wagons
which were ranged in the yard. A chill

With the sombre wagons standing in

AN ovERGROUND CELLAR.

A Substitute For an Underground Cellar
Where Excavation Is Impracticable.
In low, wet places, or where the sur
face of the soil is but little above the
level Of a stream or pond in the vicinity,
or even on higher land too fat to admit
of proper drainage, it is inadvisable to
excavate a cellar. In other localities,
where but two or three feet of soil over
lay the native rock. it is impracticable,
though otherwise favorably situated.
A successful effort in the Line of serv-
iceable substitute for the cellar is that Of
an Ohio correspondent of Rural New
Yorker whose buildings are on low
ground near river. Finding it impos-
sible to secure dry cellar, he built q
room adjoining the kitchen, making itas
nearly frost proof as possible by the use
Of double walls and ceiling. It's cost
was little more than that of a cellar
walled with stone, while it is drier, more
