A son of the late President Tyler,
only p years old, is an Uhlan in the
Twelfth Army Corps of Saxony. and
served through the Franco -Prussian
war. He had been for five years a
mining student at Treiberg, but
when the clash of arms came he laid
aside his books and sought admis-
sion to the service. By an especial
favor of the Minister of War this
foreigner was permitted to enter the
ranks of the King of Saxony. Being
fne-looking, gallant young man
he made an excellent soldier, and his
record as son of an American Pres
ident was enough to cause every Of
ficer and private to seek his com
panionship. During the latter part
of the war young Tyler is said to
have carried his cavalry lance into
several hot engagements.

did not have long to wait before a
messenger from the regions above

that another little wailing soul had
entered into this world of sin and
sorrow.


Upon this announcement the
guests hurriedly dispersed to their

So vast and far-reaching was this
cyclone that at one and the same
hour it was necessary for the Chief
Signal officer to display his storm
warnings-the red flag with black
