" A few weeks before all French hopes of final success were buried at Sedan a portion oi my corps was detaehed to engage a party of Prussians that had be^ barraisang a(Bn^ villages near Metz. Weioond ttieHiAtemy readily enough, but they had been strongly reinforced, and though we drove them back after several hours of very hard fighting, we sufiered severely. "Night bad fallen before the firing ceased, and I was sent with an order to an officer on a distant part of the field. The moon was shining as I returned, and I was walking my horse, as the animal was very tired, when I reined him in quicklj% because a feeble voice called to me. "Sir," it said, in very good English 'I recognize you as an officer of the Foreign Legion. You are an Englishman, I think. Will you do me a great favor, and a last favor?' "I dismounted and found a young French officer lying at my feet. His afford smd pistols were gone and he was desperately wounded. His eyes were almost closed, the death damp lay cold and heavy on his forehead, and little specks of foam and blood were on his lips. One bullet had passed completely through his body, tearing the lungs in its passage, and he was gashed and perforated in half a dozen other places. " 'What can I do for you T I asked " 'I am suffering horribly,' he gasped, 'and I may live for an hour yet. Will you have the great kindness to blow out my brains and end my agony ' "I looked very closely at the poor fellow. I knew something about gunshot wounds, and it was as clear to me as is the sun at noon that he had no earthly chance of living imtil the dawn. " 'I camiot take your life,' I said, 'but if you desire it I will lend you my pistol and turn my head away.' "'Thank you,' he muttered gratefully; that will do just as well. I have still enough, strength to pull a trigger. You will find aflask of eau de vie and a bundle cigars in the p:cket of my cloak. They are yours, mon anni. Take them, I entreat you. Adieu ' "Silently I handed him the weapon and turned away. A sh'arp report rang out. When I looked again at the Frenchman he had ceased to suffer. I took the pistol from his hand and rode away quickly. "I have been condemned for the part I played in this tragedy, but I have never blamed myself." FUNmSAMS.

Census Troubles in India- In one of the wilder districts of Bengal, during the census of 1881, a curious rumor got about among the Dravidian tribes that the numbering of the people was merely the preliminary to the wholesale deportation of the men toserseas camp followers in Afghan- istan and of the women to work as leaf pick- ers in the tea gardens of Assam. This silly fable, embellished with characteristic but highly indelicate details, created a general panic. Many thousands deserted their vil- lages and hid themselves in a range of forest- clad hills, where they hoped to escape the official enumerators. The number of the fugitives was large enough to vitiate the cen- sus statistics for that area, and the day fix- .ed for the final enumeration was perilously near. Something had to be done, but any attempt to compel the tribes to come in w«uld only have increased the panic. The district official used his personal acquaint- ance with some of the tribal headmen or elders to induce them to meet him and talk matters over. By explaining to them in simple language the real object of the census, and laying stress on the necessity of knowing, for the purpose of relieving fam- ine, the exact population of a district which had withm living memory suffered from two severe famines, he succeeded in inducing them to exert their influence to get the people back. So effective was their action and so readily were their orders obej'ed that with- in three days the villages were again occupi- ed and whatever may have l^een the defects of the census in that part of the country they certainly did not lie on the side of omission. The same thing was done, only in a more humorous fashion, by a district officer in the central provinces. Some of his tribes took fright and ran away, and he induced their headmen to listen to explanations. Re- lying oh the fact that wagers of vari- ous kinds figure extensively in Indian folk lore, he solemnly assured them that the Queen of England and the Emperor of Rus- sia, having quarreled'as to which ruled over the most subjects, had laid a 'big bet on the point He went on to explain that the cen- sus was being taken in order to settle the bet, and he warned his hearers in a spirited peroration that if they staid in the jungle and refused to be counted, the Queen woiSd lose her money and they would be disgraced forever, as mmakharam, or traitors to their ^t.

A recent visitor to Malte^ sends the fol- lowing inlteresting letter," 3escnbing the scenes he witnessed in thatharbor :â€" Our approach to the harbor of Naletta, Malta was made amid one of the sights char- acteristic of ah English naval station. Half a dozen torpedo boats came dashing out of the narrow entrance on their way to prac- tice with-torpedoes. The sea was a little trough and the light, sharp boats cut into and liiroagh the water, now tossing it light- ly aside, again breasting the wstves till the combers climbing over the bows swept the vessel fore and srft. Once inside the harbor, we might have known without other evid- ence that we were in Malta on seeing the array of battle-ships supplemented by a fleet of smaller vessels, all flying the red cross of St. George, and forming the flower of Eng- lands's navy, here assembled. Here are the Benbowand Camperdown, Colossus andCol- lingwood, Edinburgh, Temeraiire, Australia, Agamemnon, Orion, Phaeton, Dolphin, Lan- drail, Polyphemus,Hecla and Crocodile battle ships, armored and unarmored cruisers, tor- pedo, depot and transport ships, together with a fleet of torpedo boats. Here are re- presented all the engines of war afloat naval ordnance by all classes of guns from the smallest to those weighing 110 tons, firing a charge of 1,000 pounds of powder and a shell weighing 1,800. Here are vessels fitted out with everything human ingenuity can (Jevise and science supply to preserve the life of friends, and destroy that of enemies; vessels which have cost over four million dollars each. Here are docks capable of receiving the largest ships of war, stores sufficient for a fleet for years, a city and its environs so surrounded by fortifications that the eye cannot at first determine where the gun-cur- tains end and the houses begin. And so Eng- land is prepared to guard her Mediterranean route to India and tlie east. Lying moored in Dockwood Creek is the receiving ship Hibemia, with yellow sides, gaping with a hundred port-holes, each in time past harboring a gun, now devoted to the more peaceful object of housing the crews of men-of-war temporarily hulked. Over her cutwater is one of those famous figureheads, emblamatic of the ship's name, such as the vessels of old were proud to carry and in which they were personified â€" a fine figure of Neptune holding in his arm the harp of Erin. No contrast could be more quickly and strikingly presented to the eye than this old wooden three-docker affords alongside of one of the modern battle ships, say the Benbow. I Love Her. Why do the birds sing so softly As they flutter to and f ro Why is nature so hushed and still? Because I love her sol The brook as it flows at my feet. The whispering winds above Are murmuring, murmuring gently â€" I love her, I love her, my love. The zephyrs kiss the grasses. And as they gently move They bend their heads and whisper I love her, I love her, my love. The sparrows perched around me, The robins chirping above. The humming bees, the whispering winds Are telling of my love. Who, then, will bear my message O, spread thy white wings. Dove, And fly with speed and tell her I love her, I love her, my love. -{.M.

The town » built alona a narrow' valley betweeli twflt eleyatioqa that rise seve^ hundred^ feet f)p!yB the^ouses on either side. The "slope off the left of the town is considerably steeper than that on the other side. One Thursday morning last month, before Jamestown had woke up, a great mass of rock, weighing thousands of tons, became detached from the upper part of thiswest or left -handslope,androlled down the steep escarpment with frightfulimpetus. Inthepathof therollingmasswere two houses, built just a little way up the side of the slope. They were crushed like egg shells, and nine persons, who were sleeping in their beds, were sent to death in an instant. It is not likely that one of the victims ever realized for a moment that anythins had happened. The mass of rock that overwhelmed them was 108 feet long 25 feet high and 11 feet thick on an average. It tumbled down a steep hill about 500 feet. Most of the victims were so badly mangled thac they were whol- ly unrecognizable. ' Ten other persons were badly injured. They were in partially crushed buildings at the spot where the roll- ing monster finally stopped. All the men in the town turned out with picks and shovels, and it took them two days, assisted as they were by the sailors from a British man of war, to recover the bodies' of the killed, though the injured were rescued in the first few hours. On the top of this slope are the buildings of the British military establishment. One part of the slope is called Ladder Hill because a very rickety sort ot a ladder with 700 rounds or steps mounts the hill from the village to the fort. It is said to be as much of a spec- tacle as any circus acrobatic act to see women from the interior with heavy baskets of vegetables balanced on their heads de- scend this ladder as erect and easily as though they were walking along a level road. At the top of this same hill is the road that winds around among the mountains to the little mansion at Longwood, famous as the home of Napoleon, and near by is the Valley of the Tomb where his body rested under a group of willows until it was removed to its present resting place under the dome of the Invalides in Paris.

C.says: "I have been making diligent enquiries concerning the fate and where- abouts of Lord Boyle. I have received two letters which in my opinion indicate beyond a doubt that if Boyle is alive he must be somewhere in Alaskan mining districts, but the probability of his being still alive is not very encouraging. The first letter is from W. T. Manning, deputy United States mar- shalat Juneau, Alaska, dated May 12, and in answer to one I had sfent to him request- ing him to send me whatever details he may be in possession of regarding Boyle. He .says the lord was there a year ago, and is supposed to have gone to the Yukon river, one thousand miles north of there, some miners who came from there having heard of Boyle mining in that district and making plenty' of money. Mr. Manning said he was unable to learn whether he was still there or whether he had gone south by way of the mouth of the'Yukon. The second letter is from Mr. Edward C. Gardner, of Sitka, which I received the same day as the others. It is as follows ^I hear that you are making enquiries about Viscount Boyle, the rich lord who was in the country mining. I knew him very well, and I believe now that if he did not get in among some bands of Indians for the winter mouths just past he is dead. It was at the beginning cf September that I last saw him. He was then with three other men who had formed a party to leave Kingsford Cr(»smg, 1,500 mUes from the mou+h of the Yukon, and ascend the river mining for alluvial and nuggets for six weeks, and then intending to return to Kingstone, and come down toisitka for the rest of the winter. His oompanions were James Keast, of Omaha; Richard P. Winter, of the same city, and James Hartley, of Regina, North-weit Ter- ritory who I believe, came up to Alaska with Boyle last vear. Nothing has since been heard, to my knowledge, of the where- abouts of any of the four men, except Keast, and although Keast was heard from some four weeks after they started by miners coming mto camp who had passed him, yet thev^state that he was quite alone and never told them anything about having had a party with him "Both Keast and Winter were ex- perienced minersand thorough explorers, this IS the only hope entertained that they may yet be safe among the Indians.

ThisI was the origin of the first persecution, inl which many perished by terrible and hitherf to unheard-of deaths. The Christian cou-l verts besought Peter not to e.xpose his life,! and he started to leave the city. As bel fled along the Appian Way, about tromilsl from the gates, he was met by a vision o!| our Saviour traveling towards the city.l Striick with amazement, Peter exclaimed:! 'Lord, whither goest Thou?' (Domine qtol Vadis ?) to which Jesus, looking upon iiiml with a mild sadness, replied 'I go to Eomel to be crucified a second time,' and immedi-f ately vanished." Peter, taking this as a sign that he wasl to submit himself to all manner of sufferiigl for the sake of his religion, retraced bl steps to the city.
