The infantry suffered terribly. II was
impossible to advance along the narrow
track, and when the guns were ordered
up the situation was in no way better
ed. Nearly every horse was killed or
wounded. A deep ditch, cut ACROSS the
road, hindered effective action, and tho
only position where reply to the enemy's
fire was possible lay beyond this obsta-
Gle. Despite the losses Of his command,
jackson managed to lift one gun across
by hand, but his men became democrat
lied. They left their posts.
The example Of their lieutenant,
walking up and down on the shot swept
road and e%xclaiming calmly: "There is
no danger, see? I am not hit. failed to
inspire them with confidence. Many
had already fallen. The infantry, with
the exception Of q small escort, which
held it's ground with difficulty, had dis.
appeared, and General Worth, observ-
ing Jaokson's periloue situation, sent
him orders to, retire. Hssieplied 1t was
more dangerous to withdraw than to
stand fast, and II they would give him
80 veterans he would rather attempt
the capture Of the breastwork.-Hen-

Dwnrfs and Poison.

Henry N. Stanley, in describing his
journey though the forests of Africa,
says that the most formidable foes he
encountered, those that caused the
greatest loss of life to his caravan and
came nearest to defeating his expedi-
ton, were the Wambutti dwarfs.
These diminutive men had only bows
and arrows for weapons, so small that
they looked like children's %playthings,
but upon the tip of each tiny arrow was
a drop Of poison which would kill an
elephant or q man az surely and quickly
as a rife. Their defense was by means
of poison and traps.
They would steal through the dense
forest, and waiting in ambush let fly
their arrows before they could be dis.
covered. They dug bitches and carefully
covered them over with sticks and
leaves. They fixed spikes in the ground
and tipped them with poison. Into these
bitches and on these spikes man and
beast would fall or step to their death.
Oneof the ~strangest things about it was
that their poison was mixed with honey.

Ice In Polar REGIONS.

"sludge," and as soon as this catches
