jects were ordered to be on board by neon
of the next day. Very few Englishmen
remained on shore, and these few meant
to embark early in the morning. A num-
erous colony of Italians and Greeks, how
ever, who preferred to run any risk rather
than abandon their property to the mercy
of the mob. remained on shore, and barri-
caded their houses. Five thousand, at
least, Of these people refused to quit the
town. few Englishmen who had stay
ed until the last moment went on board
the Tanjore, the refuge ship which had
taken up position in the outer harbor.
On Sunday, the 9th of July. Harold Du-
maresq, securing the town for something
that he wanted before his final retreat to
one of the men-of-war, suddenly came
across Denzil Lawrence, and stopped
short with start of surprise.
Il say, Lawrence, is that you! Why
aren't you on board?'
Il don't know" said Lawrence, vague
ly. ''Plenty of time yet"
You'd better make haste said Harold.

Tanjore, haven't your
NO" Then, waking up little to Har-
old's looks of concern and amazement, he
SAID, WITH IL udil ttH thinning
of staying on shore
"Why, the towns to be bombarded to-
morrow or next day. Harold exclaimed.
Il don't suppose it will ever come to
bombardment," said Lawrence. The
Arabs will give in before Tuesday morn
ing"
s.Indeed they won't. We shall see some
sharp work yet
Besides, every one says that the forts
can be silenced in fifteen minutes
"As soon as they are silenced, the A,abs
will up and massacre the lot of you. You
must come on board
"I'l see about it," said Lawrence, idly.
He stood leaning with his back against

Harold watched him impatiently, then
was struck by new idea. Il had nearly
forgotten!' he said, hastily, with n quick
change of countenance. II had letter
from Anne-my cousin, Miss Carteret
mean-two days ago, and there was an
Enclosure for you"
For me!' Lawrence was instantly
erect, with flashing eyes and eager face.
He held out his hand while Harold fun
bled in his pockets, produced pile of
letters, and finally handed him Il little
packet.
Lawrence almost snatched it from him,
turned aside and tore it open. His face
was like that of Il man dying of hunger,
for whom a meal is unexpectedly provid-
ed. Harold watched, in spite of himself,
with boyish curiosity.
He saw Lawrence glance at the inclos-
ure turn crimson then white as a sheet,
and crush the paper convulsiyely in his
hand. He then turned on Harold look
so full of rage and hate and utter despair
that the young man involuntarily drew
back alarmed.

SOLDIERS STORIES.
ENTERTAINING "REMINISCENCES
OF THE WAR.
Graphic Account of Stirring Scenes
Witnessed on the Battlefield and in
Camp-Veterans of the Rebellion Re-
cite Experiences of Thrilling Nature.
In Prison.

Comrade Meade, of Acker Post, st.
Paul, Mimi, at late meeting told the
following remarkable experience Of an
officer of our army known to him While
prisoner in Libby prison. He said:
about month after the officers cap
tured at the battle of Chicamauga IN
September, 1868, had been placed in
Libby prison, there arrived at the prls.
on one day young man, pale and ema-
ciated, who appeared to be IN great
,suffering and evidently near his grave.
He chose place upon the floor among
lis, and passed his weary days as best
he could. 1t was learned that he had
been captured at that battle. Belong
ing to an Indiana regiment, which was
in the thickeSt Of the fight, and on the
second day, when the enemy were
pressing hard against the heroic front
Of our men, whose ranks had been
thinned by the terrific firing of the
rebels the retreat was ordered. This
young officer with the remnant of his
company were obeying the order, and
holding back the increasing force Of the
enemy, when a cannot shot from the
enemy passed between his arm and
body. The force of the ball felled him
to the ground, breaking his arm and
causing the blood to flow from his
mouth and nostrils in large quantities.
The foe was soon up and beyond his
PROSTATE form. There he lay unattend-
ed all night, the stars shining down
upon his upturned face and insensible
to the groans of the wounded and dying
around him. The sun rose the next
morning and noon came, and no one
appeared to notice him. Late in the
afternoon the enemy began to move the
wounded on this field to a place for
treatment. AS the rebels passed him
he heard them say not to remove him,
as he would soon be out of his pain in
another world. Later he called for a
drink Of water, which was given him,
and he revived, and afterwards was
taken care Of, and it was found that
the windage of the ball had bruised the
body and broken the arm and Internal
ly injured this gallant officer but the
ball had not touched him. After a
months care he was carried to Libby
prison, and became stronger, and was
imprisoned in various places, finally es-
Gaping from Columbia in January,
1864, and found his way through the
woods and swamps Of the Carolinas and
Tennessee, and reached our army at
Knoxville, Tenn.
''That brave officer you have tonight
mustered into this post. He is now
before me, and his name is Capt Eben-
eZer Gordon. His heroic sufferings will
always entitle him to beremembered by
his comrades"

lNROADS OF THE LOBBY.
Dangerous Element Which Threa tens
All legislative Work.

All Legislative work.
A reckless lobby is not more danger
Gus than a practice which has grown
UP in most of the State Legislatures,
and that is not entirely absent from the
National Legislature, that of introduc-
ing bills with no other thought than
that they will make a demand for act
i've opera tons on the part of a we'll
paid lobby.
One of the shrewdest, best Informed
correspondents reporting legislative
proceedings at Madison Wis, makes
the broad, unequivocal assertion that Il
large per cent of the bills introduced
on the last day for receiving new bust
ness were presented solely for the pur-
pose of furnishing paying jobs for a
large number of men who are recog
nized as professional lobbyists. The
lobby evil has become so pronounced in
some States that not only needed legs
laton is defeated but ordinarily good
men who have been elected to serve the
people have been corrupted, sent home
with regulations blackened and pros
poets blighted; men who are not inten
tionally bad but who are not strong
enough to withstand the pressure of
concentrated effort on the part of a dis
ciplined and thoroughly drilled lobby.
The schemes that are resorted to by
lobbyists and their pliable friends in
the Senate and Assembly to present
measures that ought not to be received,
and then to stir up strife that will
make business and money for lobby
and trouble for all others concerned,
are appalling in number and character.
Legislatures can pass laws to protect
sheepfolds from the inroads of wolves,
deer from the craft and the dogs of the
hunter, fishes and fowls Of the air from
the nets of gamesters, but they do not
seem to have the power to protect
themselves from the worse than raw
ages of Hobbies that seem never to have
too many jobs on hand and too much
money flowing into their pockets.
Strange isn't it? AS a matter of fact,
probably the only certain way to stop
horse play in Legislatures is to con-
struct Legislatures of material that
cannot be hoodwinked, that is honest,
unselfish to degree that would never
permit it to lose sight of public good
for private greed; material that would
freeze to the very core the most persist
ent selfish, grasping, tricky lobbyist
that might presume to attempt to ply
his trade-Chicago Times Herald.

A Terrible Ordeal.

The following is Il Union ColoneIs
story of the battle at New Hope Church,
May q, 1864: 1T was the most severe
ordeal which my nervous system has
ever undergone. When we began to adj
vance we naturally expected that the
artillery would open upon lis as soon
as we@got within range, and that, hav-
ing swept forward until we were in
reach of the fire of musketry, that
would begin to open upon us also. I
had been through so much of this tina
l had ceased to fear it, and always re-
lied on the excitement of the occasion
carrying me forward; but here we ran
for some 200 hundred miles or more
and there was not 4 cannon shot, An
other 100 yards and still no explosion Of
bombshells or anything of the kind! I
now began to feel little strange An
other 100 yards, and still no sign of life
and my nervousness began to give
place to desire to halt. Another 100
Hsards, and we We're certainly within
range of musketly; but still there was
not one sign of life in the entrench-
ments in front of us; nothing to give
cause for apprehension, apparently, ex-
cept the waving of the Confederate
flags above the works as light wind
blew. Now over me began to come a
mortal feeling of dread, a feeling which
l never felt before. and which l can
scarcely describe. l would have turned
and fed but for the fear of disgrace.
which was stronger even than the hor-
ror of death. But l knew what was
coming, and determined by my ex-
ample to inspire my men to brave it. no
matter how terrible it was. At length
we were within scarcely more than 20
yards of the intrenchments, when from
all along the line protruded forth, be-
Meath the head logs, scores and hun
dreds Of muskets. l could see them as
1 gave a quick glance down the whole
front, and those Immediately before me
particularly seemed slightly waving
from side to side There was no mis-
aking it. l knew that every holder Of
a musket was picking out his man.
This continued for but few moments
whep above all other sounds, distinct
and clear, l heard the command given.
Now, men, fret Instantly from along
the entire line there seemed, like a
lightning fash, to burst forth a sheet
of flame and smoke. / was struck, and
fell senseless for an instant, but when
l recovered myself and turned to look,
there seemed to be scarcely seven men
of my entire regiment on their feet
Then the fury of the combat arose
above every other sight or sound. The
whole forest and mountain seemed to
be ON fire. There is no army in the
world that could have stood before it."

Greece liz Adyancinr.

Even in the beginning of the present
century the Greek ladies whom Byron
admired were obliged to walk yelled,
after Asiatic fashion, through the
streets of Athens, and they were not al
lowed their due share in the intellec-
tual culture of the renascent Hellas.
1t is interesting to learn that few days
ago two young Athenian ladies, the sis
tiers Angelica and Alexandra Panagio-
tatos, passed their medical examina-
ton with brilliant success, and each re-
ceived her diploma as doctor. The
elder is aged %, the younger 20. They
are natives Of Corfu, where they made
their first studies, continuing them
later in the French school at Athens.
They matriculated afterward at the
University Of Athens.

"Right-wrong!' he exclaimed tiercely.
"What do those words mean! Only that
you are not brave enough to risk any
thing for my sake. What would not do
for you? And you will do nothing for
me-nothing!
"Nothing wrong" she murmured, with
dropping head. She dared not meet his
eyes.
He came close to her, and took her UNI
resisting hands in his. ''It would be so
easy, dear" he said II have asked some
questions-I know exactly what to do.
Instead of going with Glare to-day we can
be married at once, and then so by the

We shall follow her to England. and look

body, dear. And, oh. Anne, you could not

He drew her to him, and for one mo-
ment her head rested on his shoulder.
She was so weary of the struggle; she
loved him so dearly; it would be an I'M
single word, to place her hand in his, and
promise to be his wife His heart beat
violently He thought that he had gained
the victory after all.
Gently enough she disengaged herself
from his clasp, and looked up at him with
glance which might have told him a
very different story. 1t was a glance full
of tenderness indeed, but full of Il hidden
strength.
"Forgive me, Denzil," she said, tremu-
lousy. Il love you-more than all the
world but will not make a willful choice
of wrong doing, even-even-for your
sake"
"Anne," he cried, passionately, "you
cannot leave me thus!'
