achieved a most brilliant victory in the
late campaign. Against big odds he
won by mere personal force and self

Geese and Turkey Race.

A gentleman once laid a wager with
George ". that geese would beat tur.
keys in race. The king, thinking that
such a wager was already as good as
won, willingly made the bet, and the
gentleman was left to choose time and
place and distance. Being well ac-
quainted with the habits of the birds,
he accordingly chose for the time the
evening, just before sunset, and for the
place the road outside the city walls,
and a mile for the distance. The time
came, and each appeared with his
flock of birds. and the race began
Long ere the end came the sunset, and
Immediately, true TO their instincts, at
soon as the sun had quite disappeared
all the turkeys flew up into the nearest
tree to roost, and no persuasion could
induce them to bulge an inch further,
and the geese, which had been slowly
toddling on behind, quietly cackled in,
the winners.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

CHAPTER I.

Night at last, and the stir and tumult
of great night over. Even the excite
ment that had swept this portion Of
the Enthusiastically small section of
vaster area of struggle-into which
brigade had marched held its own,
been beaten back, recovered it's ground,
and pursuing, had passed out of it for
ever, leaving only it's dead behind and
knowing nothing more of that strug-
gle than its own impact and momen-
tum-even this wild excitement had
long since evaporated with the singing
smoke of gunpowder. the acrid smell
of burning rags from the clothing of
dead soldier fired by bursting shell.
or the heated reek of sweat and leather.
Acool breath, that seemed to bring back
once more the odor of the upturned
earthworlSs along the now dumb line
of battle. began to move from the sug-
gestive darkness beyond.
But into that awful penetralia of
death and silence there was now no in
vasion-there had been no retreat. A
few of the wounded had been brought
out, under fire, but the others had been
left with the dead for the morning light
and succor. For it was known that in
that horrible obscurity riderless horses,
frantic with the smell Of blood, gull
loped wildly here and there, or, mad
dened by wounds. plunged furiously
at the intruder, that the wounded SOL
der, still armed. could not always dis
tinguish friend from foe or from the
ghouls of camp followers who stripped

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

That much-talked-of little girl, the
queen of the Netherlands, is not as
strong as might be, and it has been de-
rided to take her to Italy, and perhaps
10 Egypt, for good part Of the winter.
The Figaro of Paris announces the
engagement of the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles ]. Bonaparte, of Baltimore,
TO Count de Hatfield, of Paris. The
Figaro adds: mfr. Bonaparte, who was
born on June Q, 1851, is the grandson of
Jerome Bonaparte, later king of Vest
phalia, and Elisa Paterson"
"A sister of Lord Russell of Killowen
has been for many years the lady SUI
perior of the Sisters of Mercy convent
in San Francisco, where she is known
as Mother Mary Baptist" She has
been in California since she was 25, and
is five years younger than the lord chief
Justice. She is one of the leading wom-
en- in her own sphere.
Mr.. Justice Chitty has completed IS
years service on the English bench.
Another chancery judge who will soon
be entitled to retire on pension is Mr..
Justice North, who became a judge on
November l, 1881. The Law Journal
is informed that the statement that he
will retire on the completion of his Is
years of judicial service is unauthorized.
The malicious editor of the London
Truth cannot see why Sir Edwin Ar
mold should have made fuss because
his Queens Day" ode was used to in
crease the attractiveness of certain adj
vertisements of beef and beer. The
latest president of the Royal academy,
he declares, was made" by the employ
ment of his picture Bubbles" to spread
the fame of a soap.
London Figaro "hears" that dur
ing his stay in Homburg the prince Of
Wales suffered much annoyance from
