Hancock at Gettysburg.

A hundred guns yes, fifty more
Kalned down their shot and shell
As If, from out its yawning door,
Drove the red blaze of hell.
The kiss! toe crash! the shrieki tbs
groani
The ceaseless iron haili
All this for half the day. I own
Il made Ike stontess quail.
But sudden far to the left, we heard
The band strike up and 10!
Full in our froni-no breath was
stirred
Came Hancock, riding slow
AS slow as if on dress parade,
Was ever such sight?
We lay at length. No ranks could stand
Against that tempest wild:
Yet on we rode, with hat 10 hand.
And looked, and bowed, and smiled:
Whatever fears we had before
Were gone. That sight, you know,
Just made US fifty thousand more,
All bot to face the foe.
You've heard the rest. How on thew
came,
Earth shaking at their tread:
A cheer! Our ranks burst into fame:
Steel crossed, the foe had fed,
Yet still that dauntless form see,
Slow riding down the line,
Was ever deed of chivalry
So grand. o comrade mine?

Some Advice.

For young men who are thinking O.
marriage:
Select the girl.
Agree with the girls father in politics
and the mother in religion.
If you have rival, keep an eve on
him; if he is widower two eyes on
him.
Don't swear to the girl that you have
20 bad habits. 1t will be enough for
you to say that you never heard yourself
snore in your sleep,
Don't put much sweet stuff on paper.
If you do, you will hear it read in after
years, when your wife has some espec-
ial purpose in inficting upon you the
severest punishment known to a mar
ried man.
90 home at reasonable hour in the
evening. Don't wait till the girl has to
throw her whole soul into yawn that
she can't cover with both hands. A lit
tie thing like that may cause GOODNESS
at the beginning of the game.
If while wearing your new summer
trousers for the first time you sit down
on some molasses candy that little Will
lie has left on the chair, smile sweetly |
and remark that you don't mind sitting
on molasses candy at all, and that "boys
be boys" Reserve your true feelings
for future reference.
If on the occasion of your first call
the girl of whom you have placed your
young affections looks like an iceberg
and acts like a cold wave, take your
eave early and stay away. Woman in
her hour of freeze is uncertain, coy and
bard to please.
In cold weather finish saying good
light in the house. Don't stretch it all
he way 10 the front gate, and thus Law
he foundation for future asthma, bron-
'hitis, neuralgia and chronic catarrb, to
lslp you to worry the girl to death after
he has married you.
Don't lie about your financial condi-
ion. 1t is very annoying to a bride
Tho has pictured for herself life of
lxury in her ancestral halls to learn
30 late that you expect her to ask
aldheaded parent who has been uni
'rmly kind to her to take you in out Of
be cold.
Don't be too soft. Don't say, tThese
tile hands shall never do a stroke OF
ork when they are mine" and, "You
lall have nothing to do in our home
At to sit all day long and chirp to the
naries," as if any sensible woman
uld be happy fooling away time in
at sort of style, and girl has fine
tentive memory for the soft things
ID silly promises of courtship, and &C.
ssionally in after years, when she is
lshing the dinner dishes or patching

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. H.-The
Porte has informed all OF the foreign
diplomats at the Turkish Capitol that the
Armenians who are In possession or
Zeitoun, having shown themselves to be
obstinate regarding their surrender. the
bombardment of Zeitoun will be begun at
once.
A correspondent writing from Marash
expresses the opinion. however. that the
immediate capture of Zeitoun by the
Turkish forces is not possible and that
the Armenlans will be able TO hold the
place through the winter.
The correspondent also says there was
n tremendous panic in Inada on the 7th
instant similar to that which recently oc-
CURED I'm Constantinople. During the
panic all shops were closed.
A telegram received in Constantinople

Messina. where the United states war
ship Marblehead is lying.
a letter from Vostagat, Asia Minor
dated December 10th. says that place Is
surrounded by Kurds. and the houses Of
the inhabitants have been barricaded.
II is reported that thirty Armenians
have been massacred there.
A communication received at the Tur-
kish Foreign Office says that the Arme-
mans who are holding Zeitoun have Pill
LACED and flooded dozens of Mussulmans'
villages near Zeitoun, and have Killed go
MussuImans, including sixteen women.
The Foreign Office is also Issuing other
stories Of a similar character.
II is stated that these statements are
intended 10 prepare the public mind FOR
the humiliation Of the Armenians who
are in possession of Zeitoun.
THIEVING OFFICIALS.
An American who was for a long time
a resident Of Constantinople, writes from
Harpot that the furniture and other pro-
perty stolen from the American mission
aries at that place are in the houses or
the highest Government officials there.
The Turks admit that the Armenians in
the district of Sivas are clothed only
with potato sack each, and that many
of them have died from starvation.
The Sultan is reported TO have said that
he will feed these unfortunates II they
will become Mohammedans

The Patrol Wagon Knocks Down an Aged
Negress.

a very unfortunate accident occurred
last night about I o'clock, as result
OF which an old colored woman named
Lynch Seay is lying at the almshouse
in a serious condition.
At ESQ o'clock the patrol wagon was
summoned 10 the corner OF Bclyidere
and Broad streets. Driver George Isaacs
was in charge, and started up Marshall
street at a moderate rate. When he
reached point about half way between
Fourth and Fifth Streets, on Marshall, the
old woman. who is about seventy-fVe
years Of are, and who is deaf and dumb,
tried 10 cross the street.
DID NOT HEAR THE GONG.
Driver lsaacs tried to avoid her. and
rang his gong vigorously. with the idea
that the woman would stop. She couldn't
hear the gong, however, and stepped I'M
mediatcly in front Of the wagon. She
was knocked down. and the heavy vehicle
passed over her.
Driver Isaacs stopped the wagon as
quickly as possible. and was the first
TO go 10 the old womans assistance. She

SERIOUSLY HURT.
Upon examination il was found that
the old woman's left leg was broken
just above the ankle. and she was pain
fully cut and bruised about the face
and forehead. II was thought best 10
carry her TO the almshouse, where she
received surgical attention. Her condition
was regarded last night as quite serious
on account Of her extreme age.
Driver lsaacs did AL he could 10 avcsd
the accident, but IL was one OF those
unfortunate cases In which no one was TO
blame. After the accident occurred Mr
lsaacs did everything he could for the
old woman. and witnesses who saw the
occurrence say that the driver was in

In any event. nothing can be done in
