The wounded man who had first

meet knots Of people who dwelt near
the place Of Eruption running away
in wild panic. loaded down with their
household goods.
1t was useless TO stop these, as

They had come through into this,

the city guards. But it seems they
were discovered and attacked before
they were thoroughly ready TO

were barrackcd near the spot. their
determination would have been mere
ly matter Of time, even if we had
not come up.

There was n grim looking middle aged
woman sitting by herself in the railroad

Nelson's odd ADDearance.

When Lord Nelson was commanding
T the Mediterranean squadron and lying
off the bay Of Biscay, the captains of
| two Spanish frigatCs lately arrived
| from America sent to entreat the honor
| Of an audience with the ADMIRAL merely
to give themselves the qualification of
| seeing person whom they considered
| to be the greatest man in the world.
Captain Hardy took their request to
Lord Nelson and urged compliance
with it, Notwithstanding the admiraI's
QuerulOUs reply Of "What is there to
see in an DID, wi1hered fellow like my
SELF"
Nelson always wore short brooches
and silk stockings and at this moment
his legs were bound at the knee and an
ble with pieces OF brown paper soaked
in vinegar and tied with red tape. The
application was to alIay the irritation
of some mosquito bites.
Quite forgetting this and the eXtra0r-
binary appearance it presented, he
went on deck to the Spanish captains
and conducted the interview with such
perfect good breeding and courtesy that
his odd appearance was quite forgotten
in the charm OF his manners, and the
Spaniards went away with every high
opinion confirmed which they had pre-
viously formed of Lord Nelson.

something to the occasion that after all
the cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Craig had
died away and after all the hats had
come down Baptiste, who had never
taken his eyes from that radiant face,
should suddenly have swept the crowd
into a perfect storm of cheers by eX-

After great difficulty the horse was un-

Men and Food.

CasSius wanted to know upon what
meat doth this our Caesar feed that he
is grown SO great" Some antiquarian
has been making an investigation into
the diet of the New England Caesars,
including Governor WinsloW, Daniel
Webster and others. He finds that they
or their ancestors breakfasted on hasty
pudding, pea soup favored with pork,
squash, turnips and onions; dined on
the same, with rye pudding, brown
bread and an occasional fowl, and sup
ped on fresh fish, with vegetables.
But Cassius did not really think that
greatness had it's root in meat and
drink, for he said, THE fault, dear
BrutuS, is in ourselves that
wears underlings," after declaring that
''men at some time are masters of their
fates."
He was right. 1t was not pea soup
and rye bread in the east that made
Webster, nor was it salt pork in the
west that raised Lincoln until he over
topped all others in his generation
