90 sighed Napoleon when tidings of the terrible
defeat were brought to him
But though Brueys had fallen his ship still
1ened her foes. Around her the fight was hot and
FURIOUS, but above the din and roar the black
smoke and splintering broadsides still foated the
trlcolor Of France. With each broadsde the
chance OF victory grew less until that last terrible
one from No. 57s Vanguard tore into the Orient
and stretched her captain, dangerously wounded,
upon the deck
The fate of the splendid ship was sealed Flames
were bursting from every part of it. Above and
below destruction threatened, and death walked
swiftly on. There was but one thing to do-abandon
her.
With heavy heart the captain realized this.
but the faithful sailors of France. fighting with the
valor of desperation, still served their guns and
poured out hot defiance, until their captain gave
his last order:
GU have done noby, my children, for the hon
or of the republic and the valor of the French
name. All is lost now. Save yourselves"
Through the portfolios of the Orient their only
way OF escape, wounded and wounded threw
themselves into the sea. while those but lately their
enemies now became friends in the noble work of
rescue.
1t was then that the young Gaeomo Casabianca,
supporting the wounded form Of his father said
Come, my father we, too, must save ourselves
See, the English boats taking our men from
the water"
NO" was the answer "Do not leap overheard.
my son. | cannot desert my ship. My place is
upon her deck"
Then It's mine ALSO replied the sailor son.
The name of Casabianca has never known a era
a coward; in Giacomo's veins flows the blood
of heroes. He can be no less His father refuses
to desert his ship His son stands by his side
No blind obedience, this calling aloud upon an
absent parent:
Say. father say, if yet my task be done
1t is the free will and choice, unhesitatinglv
eecting to share his fathers honor in DEATH as he
had proudly admired and sought to emulate his
fame and his honor in life
the cry of the English rescuers; and my
captain, save yourself" from the sailors, who loved
him. The only answer explosion and a
great burst of flame.
Thus, hand in hand in that last heroic moment
those great and noble sons of Corsica went down
to death with their gallant ship.

ceived bv his affection, for when the belief of the
miat bishops was confirmed by "Te Deum" that
reverberated among the vaults and chapels of the
great Basiliea, Edward Fitzgerald leaving his
Biretta on his seat walked with head erect to the
throne of the Supreme Pontif, and on his knees
proclaimed his recognition of the voice of the Holy
Ghost, and his adhesion to the dogma of papal in
fallibility. If I am asked what traits in the char
acter of this upright and honorable man I admired
most, | would have to answer, fearlessness in de
tense of the truth and of the weak apostolic smpl
city in his life and in his way OF living and above
all, his priestly manliness.

lesson that we all need to learn is to grasp
opportunities the instant they appear A person
was walking along the seashore, gathering the
treasures which were left on the sands He was
searching in dreamy way listlessly looking here
and there Suddenly the waves left at his feet
shell more beautiful than any he had found "That
shell is safe enough" he said; Il can pick that up
at my leisure" But, as he waited, higher wave
swept along the beach. recaptured the shell. and
bore II back to the bosom of the ocean Is not that
like many of our opportunities? Seemingly they
are providentiaIly cast at our feet. The chance
to do good or to get good seems so wholly within
our reach that we think it safe to attend to other
matters first. We delay for moment, and, when
we turn again, the opportunity is gone.

THE ICE CREAM VOLCANO.

s wonderful funnyland sight
Is a mountain of marvellous height
But you never could guess
What happens unless
You were there upon Saturday night.
When the sun in the west is aglow.
The whole mountain rumbles, and 10.
1t pours out a stream
OF assorted ice cream.
By the banks where the macaroons grow.
Then from city and country and town.
The children of king and of clown
All run with their spoons,
And they pick macaroons,
And they eat till they have to lie down
But the thing that the children adore
Is a mountain that stands by the shore,
With a cratery pot
Where moasses keeps hot,
With trickles of taffy galore.
Sometimes it rains popcorn at night
And all of the kernels that light
On the mountain top, pop,
And they hop and they drop,
Till the top of the mountain is white.
And the corn balls roll down
To the edge of the town,
While the children dance round with delight

City of Mexico, Aug. I'm re-
cent visit to this city, Attorney Gen

very important statements with re-
gard to the Standard Oil company
and its dealings in Texas. Among
other things, he said; Texas will
drive the Standard Oil from the state
Il every home within its borders has
to burn candles for light. The Stand
ard. as it does business in the state
under the name of the Waters-Pierct
Oil company, is a violation of the
Texas antitrust law. IL is a monopoly
and as such it must go,
The Texas laws are not too rigid
and the antitrust law is one which
is on the statute books or many
states. I'm Texas we propose to en-
force it. Texas has enough oil wells
inside its own borders to supply evers
bit of the oil needed in the state"

Refused Messages.

New York, Aug 17.-An instance
of the possibility of serious trouble
with the railroad operators is the dis
appearance of the familiar blue signs
of the Western Union from practical
ly every station between Springfield
and Albany on the Boston & Albany
division, of the New York Central.
The railroad operators refused to
handle commercial messages, but will
not strike, they say. unless the issue
is forced upon them. The railroad
has ignored the disappearance OF the
signs.
All over Long Island telegrap hic
communication is practically cut off.
The railroad operators either refuse
to accept the commercial messages or
fail to deliver them. The only line
that is open at all is a leased wire
running to Oyster Bay.
Both sides continue to claim every
thing in sight. The Western Union
went so far as 10 declare the incident
closed and superintendent Brooks
discontinued the company's publicity
bureau.
f. j. Nally, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Postal, said busi
ness was moving smoothly and the
company was well up with its traffic.
One thing was made plain. Unless
forced TO do so the Western Union
will take none OF its old men back.
In spite of its claims it is evident
taat the Western Union has by no
means all the frst-class operators it
could use. yet superintendent Brooks
turned down flatly the applications Of
two union men who wrote to him ask
ing for reinstatement Mr.. Nally, Of
the Postal, on the other hand, said
his company had taken back ten Of
its old men.
