AVe ate close upon another census

while the last one baa not been . fully laid before the people. The 1 practical value of a census is ina speedy sumrnary of important facta. There-is also great need of reform in the census sys - tens, in- order to give us full statistics ot

social questions, especially of an econ-

icsort. what is now specially need-

mi the relations of cap

ital and labor. The census of 1890 should sevens the full facts as to poverty

and wealth, so that the people may-at a

gtanee be able to grasp the fallacies of

the multifold philosophers of the Henry

George sort, whose sympathy iswvery attractive, but whose facts are unveritt-

able. There is alsova rest mas3 oi rub-

blah collected as statistics that should

hereafter be dispensed with. -

which Indianapolis was afflicted. An agreed case has been submitted and appealed to the Supreme Court; however, and the result will depend upon the decision in the Indianapolis cases. A, J. Miller,of the Evansville Tribune, has been selected by a newspaper syndicate, which includes the New ork Sun, Louisville Courier-Journal, St. Louis Republic, Evansville Tribune and three others, to take charge of a scientific exploring expedition, into the unfrequented portions .of the five Republics of Central America. Mr. Miller will be accompanied by Professor Thomas Darragh, naturalist and taxidermist; Professor J. Roy Brown, geologist and antiquarian, and William H. Venable, of Atlanta, ra,, and will sail from New Orleans early in May. " The completion of the natural gas line from Howard county to Loganspoii; was celebrated Thursday night by a grand illumination. . It was,, in fact, a bowling success. Four four-inch Btand pipes were erected in the east part of town, and at 8, o'clock the gas was turned on. The pressure was put at 200 pounds, and steadily maintained for over an hour, and the names extended fully thirty feet into the air. People could not stand nearer than 200 feet oi the flames. The test . proved highly satisfactory to the company, and fully 5,000 people witnessed the illumination. Charles B. Albertson, fresh from the theological seminary, and a young man of great promise, is pastor of the' First Methodist Church, at Goshen, butwhen he sought admission to the North Indiana Conference, the charge was made that he drew largely for his inspiring sermons from Talmage. . The charge wa refuted, and ho was admitted by an overwhelming majority, and was returned to the Goshen church. It 'is said that his rejection by the Ooafeience would have resulted in an independ ent church movement, at Goshen, so determined were the congregation upon , retaining his services. Patents were issued, Tuesday, for Indiana inventors ag follows: Peter Anderson; Fort Wayne,; corner iron for wesson boxee; Benjamin Fl , Berger, South "Bend, cultivator; Andrew . J. Calloway, Chester Hill, corn planter and drill combined; Clark Chiddis ter, Decatur, gate; Joseph Frenick, LaPorte, wheel; Thomas J. Harriman, S ew Paris, drive apparatus for piles, etc.; James A.

Reeves, Indianapolis, metallic mat; George W. Schock and W. H, Wansbroughr South Bend, paint mixei; Frederick W. Tremain, Fort Wayne, washing machine. The unusual proceedings of the Salvation Army of Goshen continue unabated. Wednesday night a new convert, erased by the excitement of the occasion, fell in a 'trance," and threw her hand and arm against the heated stove. She made ho effort to remove it and the skin was burned to a blister before the bystanders changed her position. . The prostration of the enthused ; Salvationists are now of nightly occurrence. The fanatics, insane with the' shouting and noipe, fall to the floor headlong. After a time they raise one arm aloft and often lie. as rigid as in death, in this position for hours. Their fame its spreading abroad and the farmers of the country nightly flock to the hall, accompanied by their

ne embarrassment over th failnrA

of the L$an Bill is already being widely felt by the State institutions. The ordinary expenses might be met, but

tne niggest Dins are extraordinary. Some of the institutions had procured

plans ana nad begun work under the

provisions of the appropriations made for improvements. Thes

orougnt to a summary stand by the developments. It is nrocosed bv

of those who will suffer most by the failure to procure money, to join in a

petition to tne governor to call an extra

session of the Legislature. They cite the

met tnat trovernor Williams once called

majority of the members of both Honses

to adiourn at the end or thirteen davn.

That session was called to procure the

passage of the State House bill. It is held that Governor Hovev could procure a similar pledge; that no legislation except that agreed unon would be

transacted, and that the business in hand be dispatched within ten days.

Secretary Heron, of the State Board.

Fridav, relative to crops said; There

are no crops to talk about now except wheat; The sowing of oats is going on in the southern part of the State, and will probably begin in Northern Indi

ana in about ten days or two weeks.

You didn't know that there is a differ

ence of two weeks in the planting sea

son in Northern and Southern Indiana?

Yes. that's true. It's the same in har

vesting. In Gibson county the crop is harvested at least ten days before it is

in DeKalb county. The wheat crop

ooks well, and the prospect for a laree

yield are now good. It was a little

backward until the rams occured at the

first of this week, but that was hel pful

and it is now growing rapidlv. I think

the conditions are all favorable. Seven years ago we had just a season following a mild winter, which had been preceded

by a very dry summer. The yield of

wheat that year was the largest we have

ever had in Indiana. The outlook indicates that we will have another such

yield this year. I took the trouble to ascertain from the members of the State Board what they thought of the outlook. 1 heir estimates vary from 85 to 100 per cent, as the condition compared with a year ago,and aa they represent all parts of the State the estimates indicates what would fca a fair average. . t

Society Leads Thousands to the

Deadly Block and Itve.ligion Makes Them Even a Greater Prey Rev. jr. Talmage pteaChed at St,

Louis, Mo;, last Sunday, feubject:

uThe Slaughter.'1 Text: Proverbs vii ,

22. He said: . We are apt to blame young men for

hftini? destroved. when wo ought to

blame the influences that destroy them.

Society slaughters a great many young

men by the. behest: , "You must keep up appearances; whatever your salary may be, you must dress as well aa others, you must wine and brandy as many

friends, you must smoke as costly cigars, voU must give as expensive eti-

tertainments, and you must live. in as

fashionable ft boarding houses it you

haven't the money, borrow. If you

can't borrow, make a fdlso entry, or

mi ht.fflnt hsre and., there a bill from a

bundle of bank bills; you will only have to make the deception a little while; in a few months, or in a year or two, you

can maka all risrht Nobody will be

hurt by it; nobody will be. the wiser, Yeu v ourselt will not be damaged." By

that awful nrocess a hundred thousand

men have been slaughtered for time and

eternitv.

Sunnose vou borrow There .is noth

ing wroDg about borrowing money.

There is hardly a man in the house but ban Rnmetimes borrowed money. Vast

estates have been built on a borrowed dollar. , But there are two kinds of borrowed money. Money borrowed for the

t urpoBe of starting or keeping up legitimate en tei prise and expense, and money borrowed to get that which you

can do withouftarVheA-st is right, the

other is wrongf If you hive money

enough of your own to buy a coat, how

ever nlain. and then borrow money for

a dandv's outfit, you ..have. -taken tne

first revolution of the wheel down

crade. Borrow money for the neces

sities, that may be well. Borrow for the luxuries; that tips your prospects over in the wrong direction The Bible distinctly says the borrower

servant of the lender, it is a bad

to some distant the people who have sent their

13

state of things when you have to go down some other street to escape meeting some one whom you owe. If youn men knew what is the despotism of being in debt more of them would keep OUt Of it. .v. .: ... The trouble is, my friends, the people do not understand the ethics of going in debt, and that i you purchase goods with no expectation of paying fsx them, or go into debts which you cannot meet, you steal just so much money. If I go into a grocer's store, and I buy sugars and eoflees and meats, with no. capacity topavfor them and no intention of paying lor them. I , am more dishonest than if X go into the store and, , when the grocer's face is turned the other way, I till my pockets with articles, of merchandise and carry off a ham. In the one case 1 take the merchant's time, and I take the time of his messenger to transfer the goods to my house, while, in the other, case. I take none of the time of the merchant,, and I wait upon, myself, and I transier the goods without any trouble to him. In other words, a sneak thief is not so bad is a man who contracts for debts he never expects to pay.. . . . . ... . Yet in all our cities there are families that move every May day to get into proximity to other groce and meat shops and apothecaries. They owe everybody within half a mile of where they now live, and next May they will move into a distant part .of the city, finding a new lot of victims. Meanwhile you, the honest family in the new house, are bothered day by day by the knocking at the door of diaappointeS bakers, and butch eru, and dry goods dealers, and newspaper carriers, and you are asked where vour predecessor is.

xpu ao not Know, it was aTrangea you should not know. Meanwhile your

predecessor has gone part of the city, and have anything to sell

wagons and stopped there to solicit the "valuable" ca6tonr of the new neighbor.

and he, the new neighbor, with great

complacency and. with an air of affluence,

orders the finest steaks and the highest

priced sugars, aud the best of the canned

fruits, ano, perhaps, all the newspapers.

lating until be srets his goods on the 30th

of next April in the furniture cart.

: , Now, let me say. if there are any such

persons in the house, if you have any regard for your own convenience yon

had better remove to some greatly distant pprt of the city. It is too bad

tnat, Jiavmgnaa an tne trouble oi con-

suniiug the goodfi, you should also have the trouble of being dunned! And let me say that if you find that this pictures your own photograph, instead of being 5 1 1 J . . J. . 1 r . 1

m cnurcn you ouant. to. De in tne

Penitentiary! No wonder that so many of our merchants fail in business. They

are swindled into bankruptcy by these

wandering Arabs, these nomads of city life. They cheat the grocer out of the green apples whteh make them sick, the physician who attends their distress and

the undertaker who fits them out for de

parture from the neighborhood where they, owe everybody when they pay the debtof nature the only debt they ever do pay! Now our young men are coming up in this depraved slate of commercial ethics, and I am solicitous about them. I want

to warn them against being slaughtered on the sharp eciges of debt. You want many thingia you have not, my young friends. You shall have them if you have patience and honesty and industry. Certain lines' of conduct always lead out to certain successes. There is a law which controls even those things that seem haphazard. I have been told by those who have observed that it is possible to calculate just how many letters will be sent to the Dead Letter Office every year through misdirection; that it iB possible to calculate just how many letters will be detained for lack .of postage ... stamps througb the forgetfulness ol the sender, and that it is possible to tell just how many people will fall in the Btreets by slipping on an orange peel. In other

words, there are no accidents; The

most insignificant event yen ever heard

of is tne link Detween two eternities

the eternity pf the past and the eternity

of the future. Head the right way

young man, ana you win come out at

the right goal.

Bring me a young man and tell me

what 'his phyHical health is. and what

his mental caliber, and what his habits.

and I will tell vou what will be his

destiny for this world, and his destiny

for the world to come, and I will not make five inaccurate prophecies out of

the five hundred. All this makes me solicitous in regard to young men, and I

want to make them nervous in regard to

the contraction of unpayable debts. When a young man, willfully and , of choice, having the comforts of life, goes

into the contraction of unpayable debts

he knows nob what he goes. The creditors get after the debtor, the pack of hounds in fall cry, and alas! for the rein

deer. They j ingle h is- door-bell before

he gets ' up in the morning, and

before he 2oes. to bed at. night.

They meet him as he comes off his front

steps, xneyaena mm a. postal cara or a letter, in curtest style, telling" him to pay up. They attach his goods. They want cash, or a note at thirty days, or a note on demand. They call him a knaye. They say he lies. They want him disciplined at the church. They want him turned out of the bank. They come at him from this feide and from that side, and from before and from behind, and from, above. and: from beneath, and he is insult ed and gibbetted and sued and dunned and sworn at until he gets the nervous dyspepsia, gets neuralgia, gets liver complaint, gets heart disease, sets convulsive disorder, gets consumption. , V .. . ... ... How he i dead, and you say; Ql

course, they , will let him alone." Oh, no! Now they are watchful to see whether there are any unnecessary ex

penses at the obsequies, to Bee whether there is any useless handle on the cas

ket, to see whether there is any surplus

plait on the shroud, to t ee whether the j

hearse is costly or cheap, to see whether

the flowers sent to the casket have been bought by the family or donated, to see in whose name the deed to the grave is made out. Then they

ransack the bereft household; the books, the pictures, the carpets, the

chairs, the sofa, the piano, the mat

tresses, the pillow on which he dies.

Cursed be debt! For tne sake of your

own happiness, ior tne saKo oi your

good morals, for the sakt of your immortal soul, for God's sake, young man, as

far as possible, keep out of it But. I think more young men aro slaughtered through irreligion. Take away a -young man's religion and you make him the prey of. evil. AVe all know that the Bible. is the only perfect system of morals. ..Sow, if you want to destroy the young man 's morals take his

Bible aWay. How will you do that? Well,. yod will caricature his reverence for the Scriptures, you will take all those incidents of the Bible which, can be made mirth of Jonahs whale, Samson's foxes, Adam's rio then you will caricature eccentric Christians, or inconsistent Christians, then you will pass off as your own all those hackneyed arguments against Christianity which are as old as Tom Paine, as old as Voltaire, as old as sin. Now you have captured his Bible, and you have taken his strongest fortress, the way is comparatively clear, and the gates of his sottl are set open in invitation to the sins of earth and the sorrows of death, that they may come in and drive the a stake for their encampment I come out and say to such people. 'What are you doing all this foif "Oh," they say, "just for fun." It is such fun to see Christians try to hold on to thtir Bibles! Many of ..them have lost loved ones, and have been told that there is a resurrection, and it is such fun. to tell them that there will be no resurrection 1 Many of them have believed that Christ came to catry the

burdens and heal the wounds of the world, and it is such j'un to tell them they will have to be their own savior! Think of the meanest thing you ever heard ofj then go down a ,., thousand feet ... un derneath it, and you will find youself at the top of a stairs a hundred miles long; go to the bottom of the , stairs ana you wilt find a ladder, a thousand miles long; then go to the foot of the ladder and

look off a nrect pice half as far as from

here to China and you will, find the head-quarters of the meanness, that

would rob this world of its only comfort of life, its only peace in death and its

only hope for. immortality... Slaughter a

young man's faith in God. and there is

not much more left to slaughter. ..

Now, what has become of the slaugh

tered? Well, 6ome ol them are in their

father's or mother's house broken down

in health, waiting to die; others are in the Hospital; others ure in Greenwood,

or. rather, their bodies are, for their

souls have gone on to retribution. Noi much prospect for a young man who started life with good health, and good

education, and a Chri stian example set

him and opportunity of usefulness, who

gathered all his treasures and put them

in one box, and then dropped it into the

sea.

kNow, how is this wholesale slaughter

to be stopned? Thero is not a person in

the house but is interested in that ques-

tipn. Young man, arm yourself. The object of ray sermon is to put a weapon

in each of your handii for vour own de

fense. Wait not for Young Men's

Christian Associations to protect you

or churches to protect, you. Appealing

to God ior he'p, take care ot. yourself.

First, have a room somewhere that you can call vour ow n. Whether it be

the back parlor of a boarding house or a

room in the fourth story of a cheap

lodging I caTe not Only have that one room your fortress. Let not t he dissi pa-

tor or unclean step aver the threshold. Ii they come u p the long flight of stairs and knock at. the door meet them faoe to face, and kindly, yet firmly, refuse

them admittance. Have a few .... fanxHy portraits on. ..the, wall, if you brought

them with you from your country home.

iriave a iMbie on the stana. , Ji you can afford it, and you can play on one, have

an instrument of music harp or flute or cornet. or melodeon or violin or piano.

Every morning before you leave that

room pray. Every night niter you come home in tha room you pray Make that room your Gibraltar, your Sebastopol, your Mount Zion. Let no bad book or "newspaper come into that,

room any more than you would allow a

cobra to coil on your table.

Take care of yourself. Nobody else

will take care of you. Your help will

not will not come up two or three or

four flighis of Mairs; your help will come through the roof, down from heaven,

from that God who in the six thousand years of the world's history never betrayed a young man. who tried to bs good and a Christian. Let me say in re

gard to, our adverse woncvy circum

stances, in passing, that you are on a

level now with those? who are finally to

succeed. Mark ray words, young man, and think of it thirty years from now. You will find that! those who thirty years from now are the millionaires oi this country, who. are. the orators of the

country, whoare the poets of the country, who are the strong merchants of the

country, who are the" great philanthropists of the country mightier t in Church and State are this morning on a level with you, not an inch above, and you in Btraitened circumstances now. There is no . class of persons that so

stir my sympathies asyoung men in great

cities. Not ouite enough salary to live

on, and all .the temptations that come

from anv deficit. Invited on all hands

to drink, and their exci ted nervous sys

tem seeming to demand stimulus. Their

religion carricatured by the most of the

clerks in the store ana most ol the opera

tives in the factory. ,. The rapids of

temptation and desth rushing against

that. young man foity miles the hour,

and he in a frail boat headed up stream, with nothing but a broken oar io work

with. Unless Almighty God help them

they will'go under.

A hi when I told v ou to take care of

yourself vou misunderstood me if you

thought I meant you are to depend upon human resolution, which may be disv solved in the foam of the wine-cup, or may be blown out with the first gust of temptation. Here :1s the helmet, the sword of Lord God Almighty.

Without Charge

Pockets Renewed.

Chicago Mail. . . There-s a man away out on the West side, on a quiet little street, vwho runs a shop supposed to be a tailoring establishment, but which is in reality no more than a mending bureau. If a man were to walk i.nto , his place and order a suit of clothes the proprietor

would sustain such w shock that in all probability his reason would return. I say this advisedly, for I think him crazy now, and the evidence lies in a queer scheme which he is hugging to his en

thusiastic breast. lie has put out a sign

"Pockets Renewed Without Charge,"

and be thinks he hsa struck it I asked him where he expected to make any

thing out of such a practice, and, seeing

it was only me, he told me that the only

pockets that wore out as a rule were the

pockets that carried lota of silver, that

silver wore-a way and many coins were perfectly smooth from friction, as I would acknowledge. Where did this silver go?

Why into the cloth, which made the

pockets. Now, behold his plan. He

would treasure up all the old pockets

that come into his possession, then boil

them down or something of that sort

and get the silver out

Both ot these regiments were both perfectly fresh, and of full strength, the Grays having been in full reserve in the morning and having lost but a small number of men in aweepiug back

that part of the attack wnicii. nad proved successful in breaking the line of defense, oil the occasion wliou I charged with them and got knocked silly for my pains. , As for the BufFaloes, thev had formed the thiid line of the

defense on the left, and as the attacking

force at that point had not succeeded in breaking through the second, had scarcely come into action at all. .. Infadoos, who was a wary old general., and knew the absolute :importance of keeping up the spirits of his men on the eve ot such a desperate encounter employed the pause in addressing his own regiment, the . Grays, in poeticstl language: in explaining to them the honor that they were receiving in being put thus in the forefront of the battle, and in having the great white warrior from the stars to fight with them. in their ranks, and in promising large rewards of cattle dud promotion to all who survived in the event of Igriosl's arms bene successful. I looked down the lorg lines of wav inpr black, plumes and stern faces be neath them, and sighed to tnink that within one short hour most, if not all, oftho5e magnilicent veteran, warriors, not a man of whom was under forty years of age, would be laid dead or dying in the dust. It could not be otherwise; they were being condemned, with that wiseVecklessnessof human life that marks the great general, end often saves his forces and attains his ends, to certain slaughter, iu order to give the cause and the remai nder of the army a cha.nce of success. They were foredoomed to die, and they knew it. It was to be . their

task to engage regiment alter regiment of Twalas army on the narrow strip of green beneath us, till they were exterminated, or till the wings found a favorable opportunity for . their onslaugh t. And yet they never hesitated, nor could I detect a sign of fear upon the face of a single warrior. There thsy were going to certain death, about to quit the bleased light of day forever, and yet able to comprehend their doom without a tremor. I could not even at that moment help contrasting their state of mind wi th my own, which was far from comfortable, and breathing a sigh of envy and admiration. Never before had. I seen soch an absolute devotion to the idea of duty, and such a complete indifference to its bitter fruits, "Behold your kingl" ended old Infadoos, pointing to Jgnosi; "go fight and fall for him, as is the duty, of brave men, and cursed and shameful forever 'be the name of him who shrinks from death for his " king or who turns his

back to ins enemy. . Jsenpiil your

kingl chiefs, captains, arid soldiers, now do your homage, to the sacred snake, and then Hollow on? that Incubu andl may show ye the road to the heart of Twaia's.. forces." There was a moment's pause, then suddenly there rose from the . serried phalanxes before us a murmur, like the distant whisper of the sea, caused by gentle tappings of the handles, of eix thousand spears against their holders1 shields.. Slowly it swelled, till its growing volume deepened and widened into a roar of rolling noise that echoed like thunder against the mountains, and filled the air with heavy waves of sound. Then it decreased and 6Jowly di.edaw;ajr into nothing, and suddenly out crash3a the royal salute. ,., Ignosi, I thought to .. myself, might well be a proud man that day, for no Roman emperor ever hud such a salutation from gladiators "about to die.".Ignosi. acknowledged tma magnificent act of homage by lifting his battle-ax, and. then the Grays filed off in a tripleline formation, each line containing about one thousand fighting men, ex elusive of officers. When the last line had gsne some five hundred yards, Ignosi put himself at the head of the Buffaloes, which regiment wag drawn up in a similar three-lina formation, and gave the word to march, and off we went, I, needless to say, uttering the most heartfelt prayers that I might come out of that job with a whole skin. Many a queer position have I found myself in, but never before in one quite so unpleasant as the present, or one :tn which my chance of coming off safe was so small. By the time that we reached the edge of the plateau the Grays were already half-way down the slope ending in the toDgue of grass-land that ran ,;up into the bend of the mountain, something as

the. frog of a horse's. , foot runs u o in to the shoe. The excitement inr Twala's camp on the plain beyond was very great, and regiment after regiment were starting forward at a long swinging trot in order to reach the root of the tongue of land before the attacking force could emerge into the plain ol: Loo, :a This tongue of land, which was some three hundredyards in depth, was even at its root or widest part not more than one hundred and ..fifty paces across, while at its tip it scarcely measured si x ty. .The Grays, who, in passing down the side of the hill and on to the tip of the tongue, had formed in column, on reaching the spot where it broadened out again reafsumed their triple-line formation, and baited dead. Then we that is, the Buffaloesmoved down the tip of toe tongue and took our stanrt in reserve, about one hundred yards behind the last line of the.Grays, and on slightly higher ground. Meanwhile we had leisure to observe Twala's entire force, which had evident ly been re-enforced since the morning attack, and could., not. now, notwithstanding their losses, number less than forty thousand, moving swiftly up toward us. But as they drew near the root of the tongue thev hesitated, hav

ing discovered that only one regiment

would advance into the corse sit a time.

and that there, some seventy yards from trie mouth of it. unassailable excent in

front, on account of the high walls of

stood the famous regiment of Grays, the pride and glory of the Kuwuana

army, ready to hold t he way. against

their forces. as the , three Romans once

held the bridge against thousands. Thev

hesitated, and finally stopped their advance, there was no eagerness to cross

spears with those three lines of grim

warriors who stood so firm and ready. Presently, however, a tall general, wiiih the customary head-dress of nodding cstrich plumes, came running up, attended by a group o f chiefs; and orderlies, being, 1 thought, none other than Twala himself, and gave an order, and the first regiment raised a shout, and charged up toward the Grays, who remained perfectly, still and silent till the attacking troops were within forty yards, and a volley of tollas, or throw-ing-knives, came rattling among their ranks. Then suddenly, with a bound and a roar, they sprung forward with uplifted spears, and the two regimeiats met:in deadly strife. Next second the roll of

the meeting shields came to our ears like the sound of thunder, and the whole plain seemed to be alive with flashes of light reflected from the stabbing spears. To and fro swung the heaving mass of struggling, stabbing humanity, but not for long. Suddenly the attack ing lines seemed to grow thinner, aiad

litterally stained red with blood. Ignosi issued an order, Which was . rapidly passed down the ranks, to the effect that none of the enemies' wounded were to be killed, and so far as we could see, this order was scrupulously carried out. It would have beenashocking sight, if we had had time to think of it. But now a second regiment, distinguished by white plumes, kilts, ; and shields, was moving up to the attack, of the two thousand remaining Grays, who stood waiting in the same ominous silence as before, till the foe was within forty yards or so, when they hurled themselves with irresistible force upon

them. Again there came tne awful-roll of the meeting shields and we watched the grim .. tragedy repeat itself. But this time the issue was left longer in doubt; indeed it teemed for awhilealmost impossible that the Grays should again prevail. The attacking regiment, which was one formed of young men, fought with the utmost fury, and at first seemed by sheer weight to be driving the veterans back. The slaughter was something awful, hundreds falling every minute; and from among the shouts of the warriors and the groans of the dying, set to the clashing .; music of meeting speare, came a continuous hissing undertone of "S'gee, s'gee," the note of triumph of each victor as he passdd his spear through and through the body of his fallen foe. But perfect discipline and steady and unchanging valor can do wonders, and one veteran soldier is worth two young

ones, as Boon became apparent in . the present case. For ; usfc as we thought

that it was aU up with the GrayB, and

were preparing to tike tneir place bo soon as they made room by being destroyed, I heard Sir Henry's deep voice ringing out above tne din, and caught a elimnse of his circling battle-ax as he

waved it high above his plumes. Then came a change; the Grays ceased to give; thev stood still as fi rock, against which

the furious waves of spearmen broke

again and again, only to recoil. Presently thev began to . move again- forward

this time, as they had no firearis, there was no smoke, bo we could see it all.

Another minute, and the onslaught

grew fainter. "Ah, thev are men, indeed; they will

conquer again," cadad out Ignosi, who was erinding his teth with excitement

at my side. "See ..it is done!"

Suddenly, like puffs of smoke from

the mouth of a cannon, the attacking

regiment broke away in flying groups, their white head-cresses' streaming be

hind them in the wind, and left their

oooonents victors, indeed, but, alas! no

more a regiment. Of the gallant triple line, which, fort v minutes before, had

gone into action three thousand strong

there remained at most six hundred

blood-besoatteredmen: the rest were

under-foflt. And yet they cheered and Y,aved their b pears in triumph, and then, instead of falling back

unon us as we ex oected, they i an for

ward, for a hundred yards or so, after

the flying groups of foemen, took possession of a. gently rising knoll ;of

ground, and, resuming the old triple of formation, formed a threefold ring

around it. And then, thanks be to

God, standing on the top of the mound

for a minute, 1 saw bir ttenry, appar

ently unharmed, aad with him our old friend Infadoos. Then Twalas regiments rolled down upon , the doomed band.and once mo re the battie eloseel in. As those who raid this history, will

probabiv long ago have gathered, I am

to be honest, a bit of a coward, and cer,

tainly in no way given to fighting-

thou gh, somehow, it h as often been my

lot to get into unpleasant positions,

and to be obliged :o shed man's blood.

But I have, always hated it, and kept my own blood as undiminished in

ouantitv as noissioie, sometimes oy a

iudicious use of my heels. At this

moment, however., for tbe first time in

mv life. I felt mv bosom burn with

martial ardor. Warjike fragments from the "Ingoldsby Legend," together with

numbers of sanguinary verseB from the

Old Testament, sprung up in my brain like mushrooms in the dark; my blood, which hitherto had been half frozen with horror, went beating through my veins, and there came "pon me a savage desire to kill and snare not. I glanced

round at the serrieu ranks of warriors be

hind us, and somehow, all in an instant, began to wonder iJ: my face looked like

theirs. 1?here they stood, their heads

craned forward over their shields,' the

hands twitching, the lips apart, the

fierce features instinct with the hungry

lust of battle, and in the eyes a look like the glare of a bloodhound when he

sights his quarry. . Only Ignosi's heart seemed, to judge

from his comparati ve self-possession, to

ail appearance, to beat as calmly as ever

oeneain nis ieopara-Bxiu moan, muugu even he still kept' on grinding his teeth,

I could stand it no longer, "Are we to stand here till we put out roots, Unibopa Ignosi, I niean -while Twala swallows our brothers yonder?" I asked. . "Nay, Macumaa3hn," was the answer; '.'see, now is the rrpe moment; let us pluck it." . As he spoke a fresh regiment rushed past the ring upon the little moudand wheeling round, attacked it from the hither-side. Then, lifting his battle ax Ignosi gave the signal to advance, and, raising the Kukuana battle-cry, the Buffaloes charged home. : , What followed immediately on this it is out of my power to tell. All I can remember is a wild yet ordered rush, that seemed to sLnke the ground; a audden change of front and forming on the part of the regiment against which the charge was directed; then an awful shock, a dull roar of voices, and a continuous flashing oJ' spears Been through a red mist of blood. When my mind cleared I found, myself standing inside the remnant oi the Grays near the top of tho mound, and just behind no less a person than Sir Henry himself. How I got there I had, at the moment, no idea, but Sir Henry afterward told me that I was Dorne up by the first furioun chaige of the Buffaloes almost to his feet, and then let, as they in turn were pressed back. Thereon he dashed out of the circle and d ragged me into it. .... i

As for the fight that followed who can describe it? Again and again the multitudes surged up against our m omentarily lessening circle, and again and again wo

oeat tnem oacx. "The stubborn spearmen still made gocd The dark, impenetrable wood; Each steppiug whi re his comrade stood The instant that ho foil," as the "Ingoldsby Legends" beautiful puts it. , ...... - It was a splendid thing to Bee those brave battalions " come on time after timt over the barriers of their dead, sometimes holding corpses before them to receive our spear . thrusts, only to leave their own corpses to swell the rising piles. It was t, gallant sight to see that sturdy old -warrior, Infadoos, as cool as though he1 were on parati shouting out orders, taunts and even jests, to keep up the spirife of his few remaining men, and then, as aach charge rolled up,

stepping forward to wherever the fight

was thickest to bea r his share in repelling it. And y,et more gallant, .wag, the; vision of Sir- He nry, whose ostrich

plumes had been nhorn off by a spear stroke, so that his long yellow hair Btroamed out in tli 9 breeze behind him. Thore he stood, th a great Dane, for he was nothing else , his hands, his ax, and his armor, all red .with blood,; and none could live before his istvoke. Time

after time I savr it come sveeping dowh;

as some greac wamor venxurea to give him battle, and as he atruvk he shouted, 7 0-hoyl G-hoy!" like bis Bersekir ferefathers, and" the blow ' went crashing through shield and spear, through head-dress, hair, and skull, till at last none would of their own will come near the great white "tagati" (wizard), who killed and failed not. , r -J But suddenly there rose a cry : of 'Twala, Twala',: and out of the press gwr mg forward none other than the ingaw,c one-eyed king himself, also armel vfca hattleax and shield,and clad in chaitf T20r -; - - "Whn t thou, Incubu, thou white

But at the time the matter wen no further, for at that instant there TWt from the regiments pressing, round tT something like a shont of dismay, and on looking up I saw ihe cause. .To the right and to the left the plain was alive with the plumes of charging warriors. The outflanking sduadrons had come to our relief. The time could not have been better chosen. AU Twala's army bad, as Ignosi had nredicted would b the case, fixed

their attention ori. the bloody struggle which was raging" -around the remnant of the Grays and the Buffaloes, who were now carrying on a battle of their own at a little distance, which two regimentB had formed the chest of our army. It was hot until the horns were about to gall them that they had dreamed of their approach. And now, before they could ewen assume a proper formation for defense, these nad leaped, like greyhounds, on their flanks. In five minu tes the fate of the battle was decided. Taken on both flanks, and dismayed by the awful slaughter inflicted upon them by the Grays and B ufTaloea Twala's regiments broke into flight, and soon the whole plain between us , and Loo was covered with groupB of flying soldiers, making good their retreat- Ab for the forces that had so waeatly surrounded us and the Buffaloes, .they melted away M ; though by magic, and presently we were left standing there like a rock- from whtuh the eea has retreated. But vrhat a sight it was! Around us the dead and dying lavx in heaped-up masses, and of tb e gallant Grays; there remained alive but ninety-five men. More than 2.M0 had fallen in this one regiment, most ot them never to rise again. . t vv--.! .
