Disasters That Have Overtaken Them Ut
See and on Land.
Somehow or other royal and imperial
princes who have adopted seafaring life
as profession seem to be pursued with
i'll luck. At St. Petersburg the other
day Grand Duke Alexis, lord high ad-
miral Of the English feet, managed to
run his yacht into the steamer Livorno,
with little damage to the latter, but in
juring the yacht to the extent of some
100000 rubles. The collision was due
to an order given by the grand duke
himself, and when the captain Of the
Livorno came on board, with visions OF
Siberia and other horrors in sight, the
grand duke at once exclaimed;
ut is all my fault. take the blame
upon myself
His English brother-in-law, the duke
Of Edinburgh and Coburg, quilted ac-
tive service in the British navy with his
record besmirched by the loss of his
flagship, the Sultan, on rock near
Malta.
Queen victoria's nephew, the admiral
prince of Lcinigen, is celebrated in par
ticular for his feat in running down the
yacht Mistletoe in the Solent while in
command of the royal yacht, the queen
herself being on board. Several lives
were lost in the collision,

SWALLOWS HAVE THEIR FUN.
Interesting Manner In Which the Birds
Amuse Themselves.

Amuse Themselves.
Swallows can fly very fast and very
far. If it were not so they could moi
take the long journeys which they do
leaving England in the autumn and re.
turning in the spring. This quick fight
enables them TO catch insects on the
wing, on which they chiefly live; also IL
enables them to escape bird enemies Of
the hawk tribe sometimes, and perhaps
shots which may be fred at them by
men. Often do we see them flying, as it
seems, just for the pleasure which they
have in rapid motion, going in circles
round The top Of lofty house or church
spire, dropping now and then, only to
rise again, till the whole party suddenly
darts off in another direction. A gen
tleman walking one morning across a
large park saw a number of swallows
having quite game with hare, though
the poor animal did not seem to like the
performance. The hare was running
very fast, and at first the gentleman
wondered why 1t was, as no dogs were
near, but directly after he noticed some
swallows coming close to the ground,
and they Skinned past the hare's ears,
giving her the idea that they were go
ing to strike her, though, when close,
they took a sharp turn. Then they
disappeared and the hare stopped to lis
ten presently they returned and again
the hare ran until she got hid among the
underbrush.
Still more curious is the story which
clergyman tells us of a scene he wit
lessed between some swallows and a
cat. Pussy was sitting on the top of
gate post in u sort of doze, in which we
often see cats when they are lazy and
not hungry. Puss' repose was inter-
rupted by the arrival Of a swallow,
which flew close to her head. She raised
her paw to strike it, but was too late.
Another swallow minute after did the
same thing, and again puss made an un-
successful blow. More swallows dashed
past her just in the same way till ten
or eleven had gone by and each made
a sort of chirp which sounded like u
laugh. This was too much for her-she
jumped down and retreated. Swallows
have been known to unite and drive off
their great enemy, the kestrel, kind
of hawk, by whirling and futtering
about him until he gets confused and is
not able to seize any Of them.-Chatter-

BREAKFAST SAVED THE UNION.



His Plans Were Thwarted.
Charging Is the last resort Of brave
but baflled commanders, said local
critic of military affairs, land it almost
always results disastrously."
Thirty-one years ago the affairs Of
the confederate army of northern vir-
ginia were desperate enough to warrant
its brave commander. Gen. Robert Z.
Lee, TO resort to charging.
So 1t came to pass on the morning Of
The 2jth day Of March. 1865, he made
break through the union lines and
opened the way to City Point. which,
If he could have reached and held, would
have prolonged the civil war for at
least another year.
The prelim!naries were well mr.
ranged. First Of all 100 men appeared
in front Of our picket line and an
nounced themselves as North Carolina
deserters. They were all armed. but the
officer In charge Of our pickets well
coined them and told them to bring in
their guns. as Gen. Grant had recently
issued an order commanding his quar-
termasters to pay for all guns brought
In from the rebel ranks.
So this 100 Of armed men were gra-
clously invited to march in behind our
pickets. When once there they turned
suddenly upon the astonished union
troops and requested them to surrender
in words too impolite to print. And the
picket had no choice but to obey.
In the rear Of the picket line stood
Forts Haskell and stedman, garrisoned
by the Fourteenth New York artillery,
several Of whom belonged in Utica. In
tine early dawn Of that mild March
morning the sleeping members Of the |
Fourteenth were awakened by the |
sharp "Yi! Yi!' Of the southern troops,
who pounced in upon them 10000 strong |
or more.
They were under the command of |
Gen. William Malone, Of Virginia.
After capturing the Fourteenth they
were expected to move forward to City
Point.
But here an obstacle arose that
neither Malone nor Gen. Lee had fore.
seen. That obstacle was our supplies
Of food. It was utterly impossible to
get the confederates. who were actually
starving, beyond our soft bread and
coffee. our fresh beef and salt pork.
The whole body paused and went to

regard to the conclusion or
that well-known saying: "For to-mor-
row We die"
1t was all in vain that Gen. Malone
threatened and swore and coaxed his
men. They simply would not stir till
hey had satisfied their appetites.
This pause was the salvation of the
inion army. 1t enabled not only the
majority Of the Fourteenth to escape
rom their captors, but the other divis-
ons of the Ninth corps to come to their
elief, SO that when the rebels were
eady to advance they found their way
