James Abram Garfield. ‘
Shot at'his post! We never knew how
strong
The hand that grasped the helm, till came
the shock—
When the fingers tightened in Pain’s help—
less lock, '
And the good ship quivered all her beams
along.
This was no deed of matineers that throng,
In clamorous revolt—no sunken rock—
Madncss at Death’s own grandeur dared to
mock——
A pitiful fool has worked the state .this
wrong. -
Not with the waves alone; with rchel’s hate, _
With friends distrust, he battled. Slowly
grew '
, Our confidence in him who steered us on.
Danger, that found him faithful, crowns him
great. ‘
The Ship of State sails on; but of her crew
Who well might take the helm, he being
gone? , ~Puck.

'mn sror: man's APPRECIATION or A coon
' rams.
The New York Herald correspondent
writes:—The people of the capital are set-
tling down to the conviction that the Presi-
dent will gct well. Not the least important
element 'in the formation of this general
. Opinion is the fact that the President, has
eaten sandwiches, which he washed down,
not with the gusto of, a hungry picnicker
possibly, but with a fairly “laudable” relish
and a sparkling glass of rare bid Tokay wine.
As he held his glass in his weak,‘nerveiess
hand it caught the reflection of the sunbeams
thrown from the water in a small aquarium
. on the window Asill. Turning to Cramp, the
White House steward, who was serving him
he said: ‘ ~
“Billy, neither art nor science can catch
and hold that color, eh P” ‘
“It is certainly very beautiful,” replied
Cramp. -
“Yes; and in order that neither art nor
science may have this as a lasting rebuke to
their inefficiency, I’ll drink it."
His lunchebn remained on his stomach
without creating nausea, and the patient in-
dicated that he wanted more food. As nau-
sea, however,is the very thing the physicians
most fear, and as an overburdened stomach
would in all likelihood create it, his diet is
closely considered as to quantity and quality,
and in this case his request was not allowed
' just then. At times he is given a sip of
champagne.

Colonel Rockwell tells the following inci-
dent in the sick chamber Thursday morning
as an illustration of the President’s charac~
ter: “Patient and uncomplaining as he is,
and great as are his sufferings, he still finds
time to think of others. He said to me this
morning, ‘Do you remember Mrs. -—-—, the
poor woman, a soldier’s widow, for whom I
promised to do something i” I said I did.
‘Well,’ replied he, ‘I haven’t done anything
for her yet. I ought to have done something.
Now you go to her and give her such aid as
she requires until I am able to provide for
her.’ Well, I did so, and when I came back
the 1 o'clock bulletin was just preparing, and
the doctors were with him. As soon, as he
caught sight of me he asked, “Did you see
her i” and I said, ‘yes.’ ‘All right, then,’ he
responded, and presently went to sleep.” -

As might have been known the doctors
neglect to «love each other. The allopaths,
‘ who are headed by Dr. Bliss come in daily
contact wih Dr. Boynton,of the hommpathic
school, who is the President’s cousin and
Mrs. Garfield’s trusted physician, and also
meet with Dr. Susan Edson, who treated
Mrs. Garfield during her recent illness and
who is installed in the sick room by the or—
der of Mrs. Garfield as nurse in charge. It
is understood that Mrs. Edson made some
severe criticism on the condition of the
President in a way to awaken the ire of the
cholcric surgeon in charge, and that gentle—
man took her to personal account for his own
sake. The lady, it is said, made no answer,
and,as did Dr. Baxter'on a previous occasion,
withdrew. Mrs. Garfield would not consent
that she should leave the White House alto-
gether, and in deference to her wishes, it is
said, Mrs. Edson finally consented to stay.
Dr. Boynton, however, who avoids all issue,
although a prominent member of the Presi-
dent’s household, remarked Thursday that it
was particularly gelling to the physicians of
the old school that he should be about the
sick chamber at all. Just what will be the
result of these bickerings nobody knows.
Colonel Knox tells the following anecdote
of President Garfield:
“I remember when Mrs. Garfield was sick
a short time ago, calling on the President at
the White House. He was then in the midst
of the dreadful worry of office-seeking.
which gave the President’s friends grave
alarm lest he should break down under the
pressure. He spoke hopefully of his wife's
recovery, so that When I learned later in the
day that Mrs. Garfield’s condition was most
critical I knew that the truth had been kept
from him. ' But I knew the man better than
the good people around'him, and, after con-
sultation with the physicians, I went to Gar—
field and told him frankly that the truth had
been withheld from him‘ and what for. He
listened quietly, leaned back in his chair,
and, with the calmness of Christian Faith,
, but with pathetic sadness,said: ‘Why,Knox,
is it possible have such an opinion of me ?
I love my wife and my children, but if God
takes them from me I can bear it, Ilhope. I
'am not too small to bear the worst a man
can endure.’ After that he took his place by
his wife’s bedside and spent all the time
there he could spare from his ofiicial duties.
Only once did he show any sign of weakened
hope. That was when Mrs. Garfield’s life
was almost given up and his own condition
was causing apprehension. We sat together
on the back piazza when he remarked, weao
rily : ‘I feel to-nigbt that all the honors of
this world which I have had or hoped to re—
ceive, are as nothing. I-would give them all
up if my wife could be spared.’ ”

An enterprising and good-natured visitor
to Castle Park, a few days ago, in generosity
of heart presented a bear with a bottle of
beer. Bruin ascended his throne, and, after
uncorking the bottle, drank it and appeared
much refreshed and well satisfied. This
amused the visitor to such an extent that he
took a glass himself and gave the bear anoth-
er bottle. The performance lasted about two
hours, the generous visitor drinking his glass
each time that his bearship put a bottle of
‘ “hop juice” under his belt. At the expira-
tion of the_two hours it was found that brain
had indulged in nineteen glasses of the foamy
stuff. The only difference to be discovered
between the two was that brain was quiet
and Ldocile,and walked to the end of his chain,
with his usual dignified tread, while the man
imagined‘that he was the czar of all the Bus-
sias, and was momentarily expecting to hear
an explosive missile burst ”about him. He
was finally conveyed home on a "shutter,"
while the bear quietly walked his best and
looked anxiously for the appearance of an-
other fun-loving individual 'who would “set
’em up."—Ewchang¢.

you that. now.”

' ' mauding the French allies at Newport, in con-
Washington’s Movement Against
Cornwallis.
Henry 1'. Johnson, mrper’s Magazine for
August:
But to complete the chain of incidents‘
which finally entangled Cornwallis in the
fatal Yorktown meshes, we must cross into
the camps of the Americans and their friends
the French. Washington,who with a wretch-
edly clothed and often but half-fed army had
been sustaining the cause of the Revolution
through six anxious years, never felt the em-
barrassment of his situation more than in the
early part of the year 1781. He could do lit-
tle to assist the South, and 'saw no flattering
prospects of achieving anything decisive in
the North. The only ray of hope that flashed
through the clouds was the probability that
in the course of the summer a large' French
fleet would appear upon the American coast
with'whosc assistance something might be cf«
fected. But even here so many contingencies
were involved that success still seemed an ag—
gravating uncertainty. A campaign, never—
thcless, was arranged. 0n the 23d of May,
washington met Count dc Rochambeau,com.
ference at Wethersfield,Connccticutnvhere it
was agreed that the French should join the
Americans on the Hudson, and an attempt be
made to capture New York city. A request
was sent later to the Count dc Grasse, admiral
of the expected fleet in the West Indies, to
cooperate by entering the harbor. This was
Washington’s plan, while it would seem that
Rochambeau, although yielding to him, had
misgivings in regard to it. At the same con-
ference the project-of marching to Virginia
was alluded to, but‘ it was held that that
State could be relieved quite as effectually by
attacking Clinton in the North, and prevent—
ing him from sending further re-enforcements
southward. Still, everything depended upon
De Grasse. Without him the year would prob-
ably close with matters continuing in stem
guo ; with him a great blow might be struck
somewhere, and that somewhere was now the
problem. Though Washingt )n had committed
himself at the Wethersfield conference to an
attack upon New York, and expected the co-
operation of the French admiral, we find, as
the summer advanced, and the situation in
Virginia changed by the retirement of Corn-
wallis to the sea-coast, that he recognized the
possibility of a change of plan on his own
part,.and this before DeGrasse’s final desti—
nation and intentions were known. By the
2d of August he had informed La Fayette of
the contingency that might take him to Vir-
ginia, where they could unite in falling upon
Cornwallis; and he had sounded Mr. Robert,
Morris as to transportation from Philadel—
phia, from which we are to infer—as,indeed,
one of his letters authorizes the inference—
that even had De Grasse come to New York,
Washington was ready to suggest his sailing
back to the Chesapeake,while the army would
move to the same point. in other words,‘
the march upon Cornwallis,perhaps the most
splendid episode of the war, was an alterna-
tive plan already maturing in Washington’s
mind before word came from De Grasse that
for good reasons he should not sail further
North than Virginia. ,
De Grasse’s announcement that he would
be in the Chesapeake about the 1st, of Sep-
tember, and that he expected to meet the al-
lied army there and not at New, 'ork, did not
reach Washington until August 14. At once
the latter turned his entire attention to the
descent upon Cornwallis. Demonstrations had
been made against New York in J uly with a
serious intent, but now they were conducted.
as a feint. It was of the greatest importance
that Clinton should not suspect the intended
march until Washington was well on his way
southward. The plan remained a profound
secret with both the American and French
Chiefs. The troops were put on the move
again toward the city as if for an attack,
and when they turned about and crossed the
Hudson at King’s Ferry, late in August, the
feint was still kept up on the Jersey side for
a day or two, when the entire force headed
for the Chesapeake.» 0n the 2d of September
the American Wing, two thousand ’strong—
four thousand having been left to guard the
Hudson,under Heath—marched through Phil-
adelphia,followed the next day by the French
contingent.which delighted Congress and the
citizens with its inspiring music and brilliant
appearance. Here the news was received _that
De Grasse had arrived at the Chesapeake with
a powerful fleet, and Washington pushed on
with the liveliest anticipations of success. The
troops took the straight road to the head of
the Elk and Baltimore, and, after a short de—
lay, embarked in transports for the James. In
spite of thy fatigues of the march, they were
all in good spirits, with hardly a sick man
among them, and seemed to realize the prob-
ably decisive resulis of the movements they
were engaged in. ' “We shall soon look in
upon Cornwallis as-stcrnas the grave,” wrote
an officer to a ‘friend in the North, and he
only reflected the general expectation. From
Baltimore, Washington and Rochambeau and
their suites rode rapidly overland, stopping
at Mount Vernon on the 9th and 10th—thc
chief’s first visit home in six years—andon
the 14th reached the camp of La Fayette at
Williamsburg, who had been re-inforced
with three thousand French troops, under St.
Simon, brought on by De Grasse. When
Clinton, at New York, woke up to the fact
that Washington had given him the slip, he
saw no other way of meeting the danger to
which Cornwallis was exposed but by at-
tempting to go to his relief by sea.
La Fayette’s little army at Williamshurg,
the American part of which had been hover-
ing about and dodging Cornwallis ever since
he entered the State—once, indecd,attacking
him at Green Springs, near Jamestown, but
without success—creceivcd Washington with
unbounded enthusiasm. As he approached
the camps with Rochambeau,the trcops turn-
ed out on their parades,a salute of twenty—one
guns was fired, and later in the afternoon the
Marquis Si. Simon gave a sumptuous enter-
tainment, at which the chiefs and all the offi-
cers were present. “To add to the happiness
of the evening,” says one of the guests, “an
elegant band of music played an introductive
part of a French opera, signifying the happi-
ness of the family when blessed with the pres-
ence of their father, and their great depend-
.e nce upon him. About 10 o’clock the compa-
ny rose up,and, after mutual congratulations
and the greatest expression of joy, they sep-
arated." In a few days the troops arrived
from the northward in transports from the
head of the Chesapeake, landing near Wil-
liamsburg by way of the James, and on the
27th of September the combined force was
ready to move upon Cornwallis at Yorktown
below. The situation thus presented was the
great surprise of the Revolution. It appears
as one of the few grand relieving features in
an otherwise comparatively tedious war, for
here we have apiece of strategy on Washing-
ton’s part which involved for the first time
extensive and critical movements, and whose
dEtails were carried out with singul‘ar preci-
sion and success. Clinton is quietly left in
the lurch at New York; Washington boldly
marches four hundred miles away, and sad-
denly crushes his .fimous lieutenant at a
point where assistance cannot reach him.

Clean, aromatic, coarse my meal must be
got from some shop where they know what
is good in the way of oatmeal. The meal
must be stored as carefully as tea in a cover-
ed dry jar, so that neither must, mice nor
beetles can defile it. The saucepan miut be
the pink of cleanliness, and must not have
been used for anything other than milk and
breadstuffs. ‘With such materials the making
of delicious porridge is easy, but without
them it is impossible. Bearing in mind the
principle on which breadstuffs and milk are
combined in food, we perceive that the meal
must be cooked in water in the saucepan, we
take a small teacupful of meal (two to three
ounces) for each pint of water in the sauce—
pan. Draw the saucepan of boiling water
off the fire and‘thcn sift in the meal through
the fingers. The meal must be sifted into
the water so as to be evenly spreu (1 over the
surface, and to sink free from lumps. Then
push the saucepan fully on the fire and boil
briskly for .a minute or two, so as to thor—
oughly mix the meal up with the water be-
fore it begins to thicken. Next boil slowly
for three or four quarters of an hour, accord-
ing to the coarsenéss of the meal. Care
must be taken that the porridge is just kept
on the move, and it must be stirred if neces-
sary, so as not to burn and not to get lumpy.
Smoke and soot must be carefully kept from
contaminating it. The porridge is now cook-
ed so far that all the starch-granules are fully
burst, and the meal is properly disintegrated.
Now pour out the porridge like a thin cul-
tard into a vegetable dish, and leave it to
cool uncovered. If successful, the porridge

Kisses Sold for Charity.
AND THE UNIQUE AND DISTRESSING CONSE-
QUENCES THAT FOLLOWED.
All in the interest of charity, the good
people of Hyde Park, a Chicago suburb, got
up a kissing entertainment the other evening.
It was at a hightoncd residence,and the com-
pany very select. The committee on invita-
tion were very careful to avoid the presence
of any disagreeable or unpopular person, and
the whole thing was kept very quiet to avoid
notoriety. After the company had gathered,
the gentlemen were informed that the ladies
would permit themselves to be bagged and
kissed at so much per squeeze, the proceeds
to be devoted to a prominent and deserving
charity. There was some difficulty in ar-
ranging a schedule of priCes which would
have broken out earlier if some of the ladies
had been aware of the value at which their
charms were estimated. The following price
was finally adopted : For the go as you please
squeeze of one minute and one kiss, terms
cash in advance. girls under sixteen, 25cts;
girls from sixteen to. twenty, 50cts; ladies
from twenty to twenty-five, 75cts; married
ladies under thirty, $1 ; married ladies from
thirty to forty, 50cts; widows under thirty,
75cts; widows over thirty, 50cts‘; maiden
ladies from thirty to forty, 50cts; maiden
ladies over forty, two for a nicklc. The
gentlemen were all gathered in the dining-
room,and all the ladies in the parlor. In the
library was a committee of two—a lady and
gentleman (the latter acting as timekeeper)—-
and they called in the gentlemen,one by one.
Each was shown the schedule of prices and
a list of the ladies present. and when one
selected the lady he wanted to kiss, she was
called in and the transaction occurred in the
presence of the committee. In cases where
squeezes were prolonged beyond the schedule
time or an additional smack taken, a fine
of double price was imposed for every min-
ate in excess, and in several cases the fine
was heavy, but was paid without a murmur.
The whole affair was confidential, and none
but the committee were to know ivho kissed
whom. Itiwould have been a success had it
not been for a young widow of superlative
charms. After she had been called in nine
imes in succession, the other ladies began to
murmur, and on the tenth call, when one of
the ladies recognized through the partiglly
closed door, her own husband’s _voice, and
the time keeper called out, "Another fine,
that’s three 1” the wife exclaimed, “I’m going
in there. This thing’s gone far enough 1” and
in she went, followed by all the other ladies,
to find the widow clasped firmly in the arms
of the objecting woman’s husband. The
hostess endeavored to arrange matters so’that
business could proceed, but failed. And
contributions to the charity fund ceased.
Important to Pensioners.
Secretary Kirkwood recently made a de-
cision, in regard to the payment of pensions
to soldiers at the “Homes" throughout the
country, that will be of interest to soldier’s.
The decision was upon an application of a
soldier named Woodworth, who left the
Hampton Home while his case was pending
before the Pension ofilce. He was notified
by the Governor to return, or else, should
his pension be granted during his absence, he
would forfeit his claim. Woodworth refused
to return, and in the meantime his pension
was allowed by the Pension Office and the
money turned over, with sums belonging to
other parties. to the governor for disburse-
ment to the pensioners. Woodworth was
refused his pension money by the governor,
and he thereupon applied to the Secretary of
the Interior for his opinion. The matter
was referred to Colonel Baxter, acting assist-
ant attorney General for the Interior Depart-
ment, and the opinion prepared by him was
yesterday adopted by the Secretary as his
ruling in the case.’ After an extended re-
view of the case, he says: “The pension
law points to the pensioner as the sole bene-
ficiary, and, in all cases not excepted by
special statute, makes payment directly to
him compulsory by the agents. The act of
February directed payment of certain pen-
sioners to the treasurers of the Home, but
guards also its disbursement as strictly and
solely for his benefit, without deduction. "
"' * The pension belongs to the pensioner
and not to the Home. He, and not the
Home, therefore, should be entitled to re-
ceive it." ' '
A day or two ago a lady well known in

A telegram was sent to the conductor, and

Three Dcligtbed Elephants.
THEIR FIRST nun In THREE mans, AND now
THEY Luxunm'rnn IN IT.
Philadelphia’f‘imcs .
As the three elephants in the Zoological
Garden had not washed themselves for more
than two years, Superintendent Brown sud-
denly realized that it would be eminently
proper to give them a bath; but the difilculty
was to find a bath tub large enough to accom-
modate the trio of Monster proboscidians.
The sea lion pool or seal tank could not be
used, as they are too small, and it was re-
membered that when Empress took her last
bath in the duck pond in '1879, she flopped
around in such an extravagant manner
and stirred up the mud so thoroughly that she
came cut far dirtier than she was when she
went in. It was clear that if the elephants
were to bathe a tub would have to be built.
The work. was begun in April, and as it was
finished on Friday, the bothers took their first
dip yesterday morning. The bath tub is oval
in shape, ten feet deep, about one hun—
drcd and twenty-feet in circumference, and
has a concrete floor and is lined with bricks.
-Half an hour after the elephants Dom Pedro.
Empress and Fanny, breakfastcd yesterday
morning they were marched from their pens
to the brick-covered roadway, which inclines
to the water in the bathing place. Here Em-
the roadway and stopped. The keeper,how-
eucr, found several tender places on her body
with his harpoon, and after two or three
wicked snorts, which were echoed by her
companions. she moved cautiously towards
the water. The plane to the pool is only
about sixty fcctlong, but so slowly did the
bathcrs move that, fifteen minutes elapsed
before Empress put one of her feet in the
l y. The cry seemed to dispel the fears of
her companions, for an instant later Dom
Pedro pushed his way to the front and went
boldly into the water. (Fanny plhnged in
next, taking a genuine elephantine “header”
and reappear-ing in the pool. Empress enter-
ed very slowly until her legs were covered
and then With a grant which indicated in—
tense satisfaction she inglcd over on her
left side and sank out o ight. Dom Pedro
after sousing himself thoroughly, waded to a
place where the water was only about three
feet deep and stood there lazily whisking the
good-for—nothing little tail at the flies, as be
viewed with evident astonishmsutjthe prepos-
terous capers Fanny was cutting, The Dom
accepted the situation as cooly as though he
bathed every day instead of once in two
years, but the. females fairly bubbled over
with manifestations of satisfaction, and they
dived and spouted and snorted and trumpet-
ed nearly an hour, After splashing around
fifteen or twenty minutes Fanny walked up
the incline and then deliberately rolled down
into the water again. The effect of this newly
discovered feat must have pleased her intens-
ely,for on coming to the surface each time her
piggish little eyes sparkled joyously and she
. scampercd up the bath to repeat the novel
performance. .
At that moment the spectators were most
deeply interested in Fanny’s performances.
Dom Pedro showed his ill-breeding by suck—
ing in a gallon or so of water into his trunk
and, poking. that member out horizontally
until it was as rigid as a hose nozzle, he dis-
charged its contents full in the face of an ob-
serving naturalist who stood near the edge
of;the pool. The natuaslist on recovering
his breath used bad language and Dom
Pedro bellowed as if proud of his per—
formance. The keeper had some difficulty in
getting the elephants out of the water, but he
finally succeeded and drove them to their
pens. On the journey, however, Fanny in—
sisted on rolling in the dust, so that when she
reached her apartment she was about three
times as dirty-looking as when she went into
the bath. -

“HI Was President.”
“Now, if I was president,” began Mr. But-

as he passed his cap over for a second cup
of coffee—“if I was president of the United

Mrs. B. in an argumenlal and confidential

ed Mr.’B., still pleasantly smiling, “but that
has nothing to do with it. I was merely go-

No sandailed footsteps fall.
Tablet and coronal
From the Cephissian grove have vanished "
long, ' I '
Yet in the sacred dalc
Still hides the nightingale
Erasing his trident heart-break still with
song,
Or is there some dim audience
Viewibss to all save his unclouded sense ?
Revisit now those glades
'The stately mantled shades
Whose lips so wear the inexorable spell?
Saying, with beads sunk low,
All that we sought, we know,—
We know, but not to mortal care may tell .-
No answer unto man’s dem'ra
Shall thus be made, to quench his eager fire.
Under these orchard trees
Still pure and fresh the breeze
As where the'planetrce whispered to the
elm;
' The thrush and robin
A new world offering - 1
Of song,—nor are we banished from the
realm ,,
Of thought that as the wind is pure,
And converse deep, and memories that en—
dare.

Where broods the Absolute,
0r shuns our long pursuit
By fiery utmost pathways out of ken ?.
Fleeter than sunbeams, lo.
Our passionate spirits go,
And traverse immemorial space, and then
Look off, and look in vain, to find
The master—clue to all they left behind.

We think, we feel, we are ;
And light as of a star,
Gropes through the mist,—a little light is
given;
And aye from life and death
We strive with indrawn breath,
To somehow wrest the truth, and long have
striven,
Nor pause, though back and starand clod
Reply, (Janet thou by searchingfind out God ?
As from’the hollow deep
The 'souls strofig tide must keep
Its purpose still. We rest not, though we
hear
N0 voice from heaven let fall,
No chant antiphonal
Sounding through sunlit clefts that open near;
We look not outward, but within '
Agi think not quite to end as we. begin.
For now the questioning age
Cries to each hermitage,
, Cease not to ask,—o_r bring again the time R
When the young world’s belief .
Made light themonrner’s grief
And strong the sage’s ' word, [the poet’s
ryhme— . . '
Ere Knowledge thrust a spear-head through
I The temple’s veil that priests so closely drew.
From what our fate inurns
Save that which music yearns
To speak, in ecsiacy none understand,
And (Oh, how likelit l)
The half-formed rays that flit,
Like memories vague, above the further land,
Cry, as the star-led Magi cried,
We seek, we seek, we will. not be denied .’
Let the blind throng await
. A healer at the gate; ‘ .
Our hearts press on to see what yonder lies,
Knowing that arch on arch
Shall loom across the march,
And over portals gained new strongholds rise.
The search itself a glory brings,
Though foiled so oft, that seeks the soul of
things.
Some brave discovery,
Howbeit in vain we try
To clutch the shape that lines as evermore,
It shall be ours to make,—
As, where the waters break
Upon the margin of a pabless shore,
They find who sought for gold alone,
The sudden wonders of a clime unknown.
Such treasure by the way
_ Your errantry shall pay, .
Nor shall it aught against your hope prevail
That not to waking eyes
The golden clouds arise ,
Wherewith our visions clothe the mystic
Grail, .
When, in blithe halts upon the road,
We sleep with pilgrims earlier gone abode.
After the twelvemonth set
When a of old they met, .
(A twelvemonth and a day, and kept their
tryst,)
. And knight and pilgrim told
Things given them to behold,
What country found, what gained of all they
wist, _
(While ministering hands assign
To each a share of healing food and wine,)
So ccme,-—when longgrass waves
Above the holiest graves
Of them Whose ripe adventure chides our
own,— .
Come where the great elms lean
Their quivering leaves and green
To shade the moss-clung roofs now sacred

And where the bronze and granite. tell
How liberty was hailed with Life’s farewell.
Here let your Arcademe
Be no ignoblc dream,
But consecrate with life‘ and death and song. .
Through the land’s spaces spread

And build an altar that may last _ ,

‘—Atltmtz'c Monthly for August.
While Coop’s Hippodrome was giving an
exhibition at Council Bluffs a few days since
to an immense audience, a fight broke out
among the Zuius, especially imported for the
circus. The only female among them is the
Princess Amaguen, a reputed daughter of
King Cetewayo, and there has been intense
rivalry among the natives for the position of
escort. All of these are aspirants for this
great honor, and their jealousies reached a
culminating point at Council Bluffs. Two of.
the Zulu warriors in native costume—a string
of fox tails about the waist—began cutting
each other furiously, and finally the whole
band joined in‘ the fracas. Protected only
with hide shields, they did terrible execution
with their short spears: After many efforts
to quell the fight, the chief hurled his long,
steel-pointed assegai at the foremost of the
combat ants,piercing him through and through
and pinning him to the ground. This putan
end to the row and hostilities ceased. The
"princes-s" looked on in perfect indifference,
being only arousedwhen some particular ugly
cut was given, then: applauding heartily and
cvincing the most intense satisfaction.

Men on shore went to the rescue and suc-

from the scoundrel’s anger.
