In the Crimea, 1854.

On April 25 our battery had forto-
aate escape, for the Russians managed
to drop thirteen-inch mortar shell
right through the roof Of q magazine.
1t broke the magazine mans neck, but
did not explode. Although the regular
bombardment had closed, there was at
this time always sufficient fire Of soma
sort to prevent perfect repose, and the
following day Capt Peel had a narrow
escape. l was following close behind
him through the covered way to the ad-
vance trenches, when a bullet passed
between his legs and cut groove in
my left gaiter, but such incidents were
30 common that I should not have re.
corded it had I not been so anxious for
lis safety.
Toward the end Of the month there
was renewed activity in advance Of the
right attack trenches In which many
officers won distinction, but there were
also many unrecorded acts Of heriosm,
Dne of which is remarkable also for the
hero's contempt Of praise. During a
struggle for a rifle pit an IriShman col
Jared two Russians. and having Slun2
his rife over his shoulder, led them
back into our advanced trench, one in
zach hand. Said he, "Sit down, with
&C." and, having relit his pipe, he was
enjoying it while contemplating bis
prisoners, when several soldiers Of all
yanks came round and warmly congrat-
ulated him on his prizes. He was sit
ling with his back to the enemy, and lis
tened for some time in silence, till,
without removing the dhLdeen from his
mouth, but pointing significantly over
his shoulder, he observed, Deed, but
there's many more for the bringing."-

The election last Tuesday was
almost an entire sweep for the Repub-
licans. 1t was due in great measure
to the fact that the Democracy paid
but little attention to the matter,
whilst the Republicans polled about
their full vote. Pennsylvania went
Republican by about 100000 Ken
tucFy, Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts and
New York gave Republican pluralities.
The Democratic ticket won in the
City of New York and the County of
Lycoming has again fallen into the
Democratic column. Smith is pro.

ANOTHER L. A. w. MEET
OF a Larger Kind May Be Held in
Topeka
NEXT YEAR, II PLANS GO RIGHT

A National Circuit Rect Now Pro-
jected for Topeka-Orher Sporting
News.
Owing to the large attendance at the
recent division meeting of the L. a. w.
held in Topeka, and the great amount of
interest displayed by the people at that
event, it is now proposed to make an
effort to hold national circuit meet here
next year. Fred Vesper. Jr., is the orig
inator of the scheme and since he has
suggested it the idea has met with the
approval of all the local wheelmen.
There is no doubt that it would be well
patrOnizsd, for it would attract such
riders as Gardner. Sims, Zeigler. Coulter,
Eddie, Bald, etc, who have world wide
regulations.
Notwithstanding the fact that bicycling
ia only in its infancy in the west, not only
the L. A. W. meet here was we'll attended
but there has been a growing interest
displayed at all of the minor race meet
ings held this season in the state, and the
Denver meet last year was one of the
most successful events of the kind ever
held in the country.
If a national circuit meet were held in
Topeka next fall it would bring to the
city thousands of people from all over
the western country, and it is to be hoped
that the promoters of the project to
bring about such an event, will receive
the encouragement and cooperation of
our citizens and the wheelmen of the
state

All Was Not Well.

There was an exceedingly thrilling
scene at Boulevard bathing beach Thurs
day evening. 1t was yet daylight, and the
weather being cool many wandered about
the beach or lounged on the pavilion, hes
itating about taking a dip.
There were but two persons in the
water, a young man and a young lady
companion, and of course the Watchers
having nothing else to do, kept them con-
stantly in sight.
What good time those two young peo-
pie had in the water! They acted as
though they were sole proprietors of the
chain of great lakes, and every body envied
them.
Suddenly the young man dropped Unto
the water and called to his lady cor an
ion.
The excitement in the pavilion was in
tense. Had he been seized with cramps?
No, for the young lady, after a brief
conference with her submerged male
friend, ran to the shore, across the sand as
fast as her bebloOmered legs could carry
her up the stairs and into her dressing
room.
The situation became absolutely painful,
for only the young mans head could be
seen peeping from the wavy depths, and
he was evidently waiting
But for whatP
In another moment the young lady
tripped down the steps, across the beach,
and into the water.
She carried something bright red in he1
hands, waded over to the spot where the
young man was quietly waiting, and
handed it to him.
''What was it?'' everybody asked.
The next move was the young lady'i
sudden disappearance from the billows
and as fast as she could she ran into bel
dressing room.
And the young man, where was he?
In two minutes from the time OF the
girls disappearance a male figure ele
gantly attired in a red undershirt eau
tiously emerged from the water, made {
break across the sand, up the stairway
into the dressing room and was soon los
to view.

dropped. Cleveland World.
