A Devoted Indian.

Baron de Malortie, a German who had
served in Mexico with Macmillan, told
to Sir M. Grant Duff, who records it in
his DIARY" the following story of an
Indians devotion to his leader:
Gen. Mejia was fullblood INDIAN in
the service of Macmillan, and was
take prisoners along with him. Two
hours before their execution was to
take place Gen. Alatorre came to him
and said: Gen. Mejia, have been
three times your prisoner, and three
times you have. spared my life. My
aide-de-camp is at the door with q
horse, and you are free to go where you
please"
"And the EMPEROR" asked Mejia.
"Will be shot in two hours" an
swered Alatorre.
"And you dare to come to me with
such proposition! Leave the rooml"
rejoined the prisoner. Alatorre did So,
and Mejia and the emperor fell together.

MONKEYS AT FOOTBALL.
They Likewise Play Cricket, but Not Ac-
corCiiy to Rule.

Travellers in South Africa have noted
the fact that wheIe monkeys coneregata
in large numbers they also indulge il
games of certain kind. Two of these
games seem to resemble cricket and
football.
The cricket is CT primitive order
About dozen monkeys stand in cir
Gle or whatever is akin to the simian
idea OF circle. Two of them advance
from different extremities Of the circle
and stop about Is yards apart, facing
each other The monkey at the southern
end of the circle has a cocoanut in his
hand. He is the bowler.
The monkey at the other end does
not, as you might suppose, WELD full
cane bat His business is to dodge the
oocoanut which the bowler aims at hist
head The delivery of the ball is ire
mendously fast, full pitched and fraught
with dire results if it touches the
spot" When it does happen to touch
the spot-that is, any part of the mon
keys body-that monkey is very much
out and doesn't even stop to dispute the
question.
Another monkey takes his place until
he, too, receives his dismissal It was
presumed by the travellers that the game
was finished when majority of mon
keys lay nursing their wounds under
the friendly shade of neighboring
palm.
The football is Of a more advanced
type. It is also played with cocoanut.
The game if anything. is undoubtedly
the "socker' game and is played with
the feet. Of course there is no goal nor
any tactics to speak of, the object Of
each animal being to keep tho ball to
himself as much as possible.
Still the competition to get the ball
makes it resemble real game of foot
en-" and the dexterity exhibited by
these peculiar amateurs is surprising
and wonderful.
In an evil moment some am bilious
monkey may elect to play the Rugby
game by snatching up the ball ard
making off, but the game then develops
into war, in which life is sometimes
the prize.
No mention is made of a referee, but
If there is one about. like wise and
provident monkey, he is probably up a
tree.-Brooklyn Times.

Petersburg cost the regiment a heavy
dole in blood. although it missed the
slaughter pens and made a record for
giving heavy blows to the enemy.
At Fair Oaks the Forty ninth took its
baptism Of fire in Longstreet's column
at Fair Oaks proper. At that point the
Confederates struck Federals who were
alert and did not make surprise as
was the case at Seven Pines, another
part of the same field. General Joseph

jWiIl Appeal.

Judge Amidon rendered decision, in
the case of st. Louis county against the
Gas and Water company, in favor of the
company. This is the case where the
county is trying to collect 100000 worth
of personal taxes. It is understood that
the county commissioners, at their next
meeting. will authorize an appeal from
the decision of Judge Amidon in United
States court. In the meantime steps will
be taken to ascertain just where the city
stands in collecting the taxes from the
Gas and Water company, and whether
the stockholders are liable under the
franchise of that company. It is said
that if the franchise of the Gas and
Water company provides for the COM
pany conducting anything more than a
manufacturing business, the stockhold-
ers are holden for their respective shares
of the delinquent taxes. Otherwise,
they are not. It most probably will be
otherwise so far as the county is con-
cerncd. Corporations and judges work
hand in hand.
