VENUS.

Resplendent Hesperus! lone evening star, Thou when the dawn woke ethereal height As the mandate went forth, "Let there be light," Didst from thy realm, with nor hindrance nor bar. Look down, keeping silent vigils afar. Westerly coursing, the sheen in thy flight Kindled 10 glow on the edge of the ul^ht. True on the 1 rack of day's orient car. The play of thy dame in full plenitude Piercing dim reaches of infinitude. Like, as a minor chord stricken has birth. Sadly o'er rni *3 fall shadows of earth, -Guide thou through ime mortals faring the way. Who holds thee in orbit, destinies sway. —Eltna FolwelL

AT CLIPPER GAP.

"Thoso hounds most be driven out," said the general, lowering his fleldglasses and turning a pair of cold gray eyes upon a staff officer who was standing near.

4,If

we could get a battery into Clipper gap," responded the officer addressed, "the question might be Boon settled and at close range. The configuration of the land and the bore of our guns combine, it seems to me, to mako any other solution Impossible." "Clipper gap," echoed the general, rising visibly in his saddle and then settling back with a sareastio smile. ''Clipper gap, did you say, colonel? White, you are talking at random. Surely your suggestion is not feasible. You ought to know that a battery could not live to unlimber there, but even if it got into action—why, good God, man, you must be dreaming!"

Colonel White looked hurt, and instead of meeting the sharp glance of his commander ho allowed his eyes to wander down to tho left and in the direction of an old plantation dwelling, where a masked mortar battery had an hour before opened on tho Federal lines with terrible efTect. ''I only mentioned tho matter, general," repliod tho staff officer after a few moments of silence. ''I shall be glad to execute any orders that you may have in the consummation qf abetter plan." "But, my good man," returned the general, "'a gunner could not live flvo minutes at the gap- would be downright murder to order a battery In there. Colonel White, would you lead a battery into Clipper gap?" "What a question!" replied the other. "What a question for a soldier! To be sure, I would lead a battery into tho gap, 01 into hell, for that matter, if ordered to do so. By tho way, general, this would bo a great opportunity for your brave Captain Langhoruo."

General Colby laughed heartily. "Can't you forgivo mo, White, for saying that Langhorno Is tho bravest man in the Third corpsf You grow sareastio every time you refer to the conversation of last evening. Langhorno is brave, bravo as a lion. I know him under Are. Southerner, is he not? Colonel Williams told me that ho had two brothers in tho rebel army. Did you know him Iwforo the war?" "Yes," answered the other, looking again in tho direction of tho house. "I knew hint very well. Wo wow in tho same class at the University of Virginia. Rivals first for class leadership and later for tho hand of the falrost woman in the old commonwealth. Langhorno got tho girl, who, by tho way, was of northern birth. Perhaps that accounts for his lighting sympathies. His people are all on tho other sldo. Ho lives in this section somewhere, I believe, -As to his bravery, I nover considered him brave at You will say at oneo, general, linfc this is a prejudice arising from our early relations. Not so. I am not Inclined to depreciateLanghorno'a war record, which wo all admit is splendid. I say simply that ho is not a man of great physical courage.''

During tills brief recital tho general's face wore a smile of Innocent raillery, but as White concluded a storn expression Btolo over his countenance. Ho thrust his fleldglasses into a silver bound case and almost fiercely beat tho long leg of his cavalry boot with a pair of heavy gauntlots, which ho had taken off a few momobts before. Ho was a man of imperious disposition and violent temper, with little liking for opposition from any source. Whito was a distant relative and trustod adviser, but it was evident that ho had gone too far. When tho first flush of his wrath had been beaten out upon his boot, ho was enabled to speak, with some dogreo of moderation, tho thoughts that had sent a wicked expression to his face. "'Colonel White," he began deliberately, "you Impugn the courage of one of the bruvofit men hi the service—a man whom I have 1 en rued to love ntul respect I tell you he is as bravo n.« a linn, ills eotirago is always tempered with tho coolest judg-ment—-tho very highest form of courage. Do you remember tho day at"

Here the general broke off abruptly and drawing out the fleldglasses fixed his sight on tho house that stood on along stretch of level ground below, whence rose at frequent intervals white puffs of smoko tolling of the eaunonnde still furiously waged from the mortars of the rebel buttery. In a moment he hn»ke off his inspection, and turning to Colonel White said

little to one side, and his bloods was often for a space of three button* at the top, ex

posing a wnjto shirt front and a stDc handkerchief of the same color bound about his throat.

General Colby looked first at Colonel White, then frigidly returned the salute of the young captain. '•Captain Langhorne," he began, and bis voice trembled slightly, "It is necessary that those devils at yonder house should be dislodged. Take your battery to the gorge directly in their front, known as Clipper gap. It is narrow, and you will be able to use only one gun at a time. In getting your position follow the ravine where we were this morning as far as poe* sible. It will afford some cover."

The captain looked straight at his commander. The commander looked straight at his captain. Colonel White looked straight into his own souL Captain Langhorne broke the silence. '•Pardon me, general, did you say Clipper gap? Did I understand the order to open fire on the bouse opposite the gorge?" •'Captain Langhorne, is not my order clear?" "Yes, sir, quite clear, but' I wanted to ask if—if—it is absolutely necessary—if— er—er" "Yes," thundered the general, "the order is imperative. Are you a coward? Have you"— Butin themidstof this furious tirade Captain Langhorne again respectfully saluted and then galloped away to execute the order of his chief.

Soon the notes of a bugle floated over from the rear and right, and the two officers turned to see Langhorne's battery sweep at full gallop across a gentle depression directly in the rear and then disappear behind the high hills that skirted the ravine. Once more they come in sight as they leavo the ravine, and, debouching in the open, plunge full in the face of the enemy's guns, iiito tho mouth of the gorge, unlimber and go into action. Then from tho house, now less than 1,000 yards away, 12 hitherto silent pieces opened their brazen mouths, carrying death and dosolation into the ranks of the Federal battery. In 20 minutes tho horses had all been killed or disabled. Then the guns were run up by hand, discharged and by tho samo method returned for loading. Tho slaughter was fearful, and in this vortex of fire and blood and death all order wtis soon forgotten. There were only two things to do—load and fire. And they did that woll, many dying in tho doing, but all believing no doubt that it was very glorious to die for one's flag and country. The fire of Langhorne's men was rapid and accurate, as attested by frequent changes in position of some' of the rebel guns and by the silence of others. About sunset tho fire of the opposing fqrees ceased altogether, and 10 minutes later six men —all that were left of 4iho Federal battery —dragged their weary and wounded limbs into tho heavy undergrowth that covered tho slopes of the gorge on either side. Some wont to rest with the hope of recovery and others to die. It was victory dearly bought. .'

Two hours later, having dined oopifortably at his headquarters, after sending a detachment over to tho gap with the purposo of looking for tho dead and wounded, General Colby, with Colonel Whito and another member of his staff, rodo down to

tho house which had borno tho brunt of

the Federal fire, and from which tho rebels had hastily retreated simultaneously with the dischargo of their last gun. Thero was ruin everywhere about tho place, which was apparently deserted. Only tho shell of whe a few hours before had been a flno old ro=ldencoof colonial architecture now renmfh'.'d to tell of tho cruel ravages of war. All about were evidences of easy living, marking the dismantled habitation as the homo of a wealthy planter. After a walk about tho place for nearly half an hour some 0110 mentioned tho cellar, and tho genoral, who was not half a bad commander in exploring wrecked southern homos, nodded assent.

Tho orderly mado a torch, and lighting it led tho way down to tho cellar, which tho visitors were much surprised to find already lighted. An oil lamp burned brightly from tho top of a barrel, and in a far corner of tho room, upon a heap of debris, a tallow candle threw its unsteady rays upon tho dead and manglod bodies of two female figures that lay upon tho floor. Close to them a man was seated upon a low camp stool. His face was black, Bavo where a stream of blood, trickling down from au ugly gash over tho templo, had washed the darker stains away. As tho officers approached, General Colby askod,

4'Per

haps your suggestion of the gap as a point of action is nut bad. I Veally do not see any way out of it, and just to prove that I am right I shall order Captain Langhorno In there. 8omt one has to go, and I am convinced that Langhorno has tho right kind of stuff in him. Ho can wipe away the arrogant conceit of militarj prowess In three or four hundred rebel hearts and at the same time wipe away the arrogant conceit of snap judgment In the heart of a brother officer," and General Colby again smiled good naturedly upon his staff officer. Whether this opinion oaine from an honest conviction of military necessity or from the motive of vindicating an insolent judgment that was wont to consider itself infallible we art not to judge. Men have been slaughtered before and will be again without apparent motives of any kind. Calling his orderly and pointing to a group of mounted ofil-j oers that rested on a little knoll 800 or 400 yards away he said, "Tell Captain Lang-1 home to com? hews at once." The orderly saluted and withdrew.

General Colby looked at his watch, uorr-! ously slapping the neck of his black num I with the bridle rein. 'We shall now sec." he muttervd half aloud, "who qualified to weigh the qualities of a soldier." Coloael White, who turned deadly pal«\ did! not move a muscle or make reply.

TERRE HACTTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, AUGUST 11,1894.

"LABBY" SCORNS A TITLE.

The British Radical leader Beads Queen Victoria an Ironical Sermon.

In a recent issue of Henry Labouchere's Truth appears the following delightfully ironical paragraphs from his caustic pen:

Thank heaven the birthday of her majesty is over, and I am safe for

one

more "year! Since the queen has taken io celebrating her natal day by knighting or baroneting those connected with journalism I see the day approach with fear and trembling lest my sovereign should be minded to knight or baronet me. Never is there a creation of "sirs" without some of them assuring me that, far from asking to be made one, they did not even know that this was contemplated until they saw their names in The Gazette. I invariably believe what any one tells me therefore the danger seemb to me to be a real one. My objection is a double one. I prefer the plain "mister" of a British citizen, and I should fear, were I knighted, that my readers would suspect me of being actuated rather by gratitude than by sincern admiration whenever I felt called upon to praise her majesty's advisers.

Not indeed that I object to any one being knighted if this adds to his pleasure in existence. A knighthood at least has the advantage of not descending to the son of the gentleman who becomes a"s4r." I was discussing tho other day with a friend of mine who had declined the honor whether it was an advantage to a parliamentary candidate or the reverse. He contended that, such is the inherent snobbism of the Anglo-Saxon race, the advantage is considerable. There is a certain

amount

truth in this. Although not myself desirous of being knighted or baroneted or of being officially allowed to wear a colored ribbon or a metal disk, I sincerely wish the queen "many happy returns of tho day" and trust that she may have many "other occasions to confer birthday honors on her subjects, provided that she does not include me ever in the distribution. We must judge of sovereigns by sovereigns, and certainly the queen has been the best monarch that has sat upon the British throne. The unreasoning loyalty that elevates a sovereign into a sort of divinity has disappeared, and the institution of monarchy is now judged very much on the merits or demerits of tho incumbent of the throne. The queen enjoys a personal popularity which must be far more gratifying to her than the abject sentiment that leads free men to grovel before a crown, whether it bo on the head of the vilest or the best of human beings. What I object to in monarchy is not so much the monarch—when, as with us, the sovereign reigns, but does not rule—but

and the flunkies that it

brings into existence. Charles II was not a commendable sovereign, but I always have had a liking for him on account of his undisguised contempt for his courtiers.

EUROPE'S TORCH OF WAR.

The Great Towers Beady For the Spark That Will Sot It Aflame. After the dreadful Franco-German war of 1870-1 the principle of prolonged" military service and of diminished annual contingents was given up. Tho monstrous principle of universal service was adopted instead. By this principle tho wholo nation is under arms.

A country is no longer a country a people is no longer a people a nation is now nothing but an army, and a country is only a barrack. Everybody is sur le qui vive. If war breaks out today, all professions become deserted, all functions abandoned the life of the nation stops, so that national activity may bo said to begin again only with the blood that is shed.

Moreover, before two hostile armies— that is, two nations when they aro enemies—join in combat each of tho two armies—that is, each of the two infinite hordes which traverse their several oountries to meet eventually on the field of battle—will leavo behind it a country in famine, its factories silent and its trade paralyzed.

Again, enormous stocks of food supplies must bo accumulated on the frontier where the two armies are likely to meet, but before reaching these inexhaustible magazines the army must be fed while crossing their own territories, and that requires money. So that before even tho first gun is fired each army will have expended enormous stuns and left in its train towns and villages stripped of men and beaats, the cities in famine, the country without a single tiller of the field.—McClure's Magazine.

The Retort Courteous.

lu the courso of tho debate on the bill to dismiss railway postal clerks Mi Grosveuor of Ohio was giving the hon-^o the benefit of his knowledge of tho experience in the postal service as far as appointees in his own district were concerned. He thought that if the bill were amended so as to require the old employees to piss an examination and grade 50 per%cent not one of the dismissed clerks, who, of course, were all Democrats, would come within 1,000 miles of getting back. "The gentleman is & distinguished member of congress,*' said Mr. Pendleton of West Virginia. "Does he think he could pas* the examination required to enter the railway postal service?" think so," said Mr. Groevenor, "if the gentleman from West Virginia had to put the questions."—Washington Post.

The year 1S94 corresponds to the one thousand eight hundred and ninetyeighth from the birth of Christ, to the year 7403 of the Byzantine era, to the years 5654-5 nf the Jewish era (the latter year b-0 nning at sunset cm Sept SO), to the year 264? since the foundation of Rome, to the year 2554 off the Japanese* and to the years l*ili IS of the Mohammedan ea, the year 1312 of the era of the begin having begun on the5thof July.—St LotxisRepublic.

LATEST FROM CLIPPERTON.

Strange Tales Told by a Sailor Wh» Waa One of the Volant's Crew. The men who came up from Clipperton island on the Volant will be paid off this morning and discharged, and whether any of them will return to the guano covered rock has not yet been decided. One of the men who went down on the Viking and remained on the island for several months told some remarkable stories of the treasure rock yesterday.

He corroborated the tale of the hungry crabs and said that the houses which had been put up had to be covered with tin to prevent the crustaceans from eating through the wood. It was so hot that the slrin peeled off the men's backs through their light undershirts. There were any amount of eggs to be had, which were laid by birds resembling wild geese. The crabs would seize these eggs as fast as they were laid and make off with them. "The harbor," said the Clipperton Robinson Crusoe, "is not a good one, and the water is full of sharks. When the wind blows offshore, it is impossible for a vessel's moorings to hold her. The Viking went away with about 50 tons short of what she ought to have taken, but that was the fault of the captain. He got scared and put to sea. The weather was so bad when the Volant was there that there was no use of staying, and she gave up trying to get a load. The sharks are very vicious and seem to be without fear, as they are in great numbers. When a boat is being rowed ashore, the man eaters jump out of the water and snap at a man. "While the Volant was lying at Clipperton the strangest kind of a fish I ever saw came up astern of her. In shape it was something like a stingray, with long, ugly looking tail. It spread big wings that must have been at least 20 feet wide from tip to tip. The superintendent said it was a rayfish, and others called it a Bunfish. It stuck its head up, then spread out its wings and skimmed along over the water. "The island is nothing more than a big rock, honeycombed with the strangest kinds of shapes. At sunset some parts of it seemed a blazing mass of gold. If there is any truth in the stories about treasure being hidden there, we couldn't prove it, but you can bet we searched high and low for the pirates' booty."—San Francisco Chronicle.

"Canst thou minister to a mind diseased?" asks Macbeth. Certainly, my lord the condition of the mind depends largely, if not solely, on the condition of the stomach, liver, and bowels, for all of which complaints Ayer's Pills are "the soyerelgnest thing on earth."

The tost Heir Turns Up.

A London correspondent says the vil lagers of Maiden Bradley, Bath, are excited over the appearance thero of person who claims to be the heir of the twelfth duke of Somerset and demands the restitution of the title and estate. The claimant describes himself as Lord St. Maur, who was supposed to have been dead for 29 years. He was acci dentally wounded by a bear while shoot ing in India and died soon after. The claimant admits the encounter with the bear, but says he escaped from his claws and got away with some scratches, which he will exhibit when the time comes. His absence is accounted for by the assertion that he was taken prisoner by the Russians and kept for a consid erable period.
