A Soldier's Thrilling Escape.

WHAT constitutes nerve?" asked the > New iTork World " the Other day ot its ± ■aders. One mrfn will answer that it is ■escnee of mind* ; another that it is pluck ; aothcr that it is bein« cool and collected i emeicency. It is none ot thestf. It is )niething backof allofthem.andsoniethiHpf •hich a man never had unless it was born i him Instances of presence of mind, were ict with every day in the army. An fficer out in charge of foragers or on a >connoissance, would be suddenly at icked, Presence of mind aided him to jrm his men for defence. He had the resenceof rifind, even though his face was s white as flour and his chin shaking. \ trave men were common enotfgff m the anks. Call for men to face certain death, I nd a hundred privates would step out at | n nee ; yet test their " nerve " and they had ; b . . , ...i! b Among two or three cases in mmd, that; £ t John Melrose, a trooper in the bJxtn ; dichißan Cavalry, is recalled. He an ( o mder-sized, quiet-spoken man, and he nacl hat wonderful nerve which not three others a Ihe Whole hri K ade possessed. While act- j n" as a E«ont in the Shenandoah Valley, ie°wns one day eflti«K dinner at a farm- loti^c when in walked fiev«n Confederate oHiers. They knew him as li Union scout { md he knew them as Confederates ' A m irave man would have made a rush or lulu - i fin-lit. Mclrose simply looked up os they iled in, smiled over his fix, and called out : "Bdv nld-woman, put on more dinner icre, alid we'll all bave a square meal to- • !C" You are my prisoner!" said titn Serjeant < jf the snuad. as he advanced. . , " I know it, but I'll pay for a dinner for , you and your men just the sune. Sit down md make yourselves at home." His nerve upset the soldiers, and after a moment they took their scats at the table, formin^a complete circle around the board. As soon as they began to eat he began to_ think of escape. It was summer, and ttie window behind him and ten feet away, wrts I open. If he stood up all eyes would he on him, and any excuse to leave the room was not to be thought of. _ The meal was about half finished, ana captive and captors were chatting away, when Mclrose suddenly flung himself back ward, upset his chair and bounded through the window. The soldiers >an out and fired at-and pursued him, but he made good his escape. . In the Luray Valley, just before the affair known as Woodstock's races, Melrose and his compauion fell out of the ranks to forage. After securing a supply of peat, they pushed on after the column, and were riding at a gallop, when live bushwackers, well mounted, came out of the cross-road abont twenty rods ahead of them. "We are dead men I" said tho scouta companion as they came to a halt. Looking back they saw four more bush whackers climbing the fence to take posi tion, on the highway. Melrose calmly viewed thlr situation, and finally said : "We will charge them. Fall in behind me and there will be less danger. Draw your sabre and strike hard," The other dared not to try it, though he was a lia\o man. Ho, therefore, kept his [ilaceas the scout d;«shed forward. Melrose rode straight at the men with a drawn saber, and the volley they fired went ovor him. H6 struck the line, sabered a man as he passed, and soon rejoined the column, his companion was never heard of agaio, probably being murdered in cold blood. In lSo"4 Melrose aiid three other foragers ivepi captured in the Shenandoah Valley, taken to a small encampment, and the four placed iv a log house underground until their cases could be disposed of. They talked the situation over,.ind the bravest of them could see-no hope for escape* Melrose quietly listened to their discouraging re marks, and as quietly replied that he would be inside of the Union lines before midnight. There was a circle of sentinels around the building, which h?d uodoor, The sentinels |);iced within six feet of the building, and the one in front could see the prisoners through the doorway. Melrose said that if all would work together the sentinels would be confused and'either hold their fire or Drc wild. The three men hod participated in more than twenty battles, and were known as brave fellows.but here they wanted nerve, and nerve was what they hadn't got. "Very well, I will go alone," was the quiet announcement, and as night come on Mehosc was ready. Standing in the door way, he asked the sentinel what time it was. " You git back tbar or I'll shoot I" was die prompt reply. " Yes, I'm going right back!" said the scout, a« he dashed upon the man, hit him a stunning blow and made for the wood, lie had to run across an open field in full sight of the camp, and, though it was dusk, he could be seen quite plainly for half the distance. More than iifty shots were fired at him, and then pursuit began, but he reached the woods and made his escape. He was one day scouting up the ralley, having on a mixtd uniform, when he sud denly came upon two ferocious-looking guerrilla?, while crossing a thickwood. They were seated on a log, backs to him, but at I he sound ol his step, they sprang up and covered him with their carbines. It would have been bold to bolt and take the chances of being hit. Melrose never slack eued his pace, nor changed countenance, but walked directly up to the incti and quietly said : " I've news for the colonel, and I svant you. both to go aloug and show me the way." " Who said so !" asked one of the men, " If I miss the way there'll be a row, for this is important news," he answered. " Who be you?" " Come along and ask the colouel." " Well, we ain't going to tramp clear up thar. You go down to the road, foller it for a mile, and when you come to tho old tog ptabio on the right, turu into the blind road." " Why can't one of you'eome along ?" "Oh ! you can't miss the way. We are watching here for game." Melrose slouched oil" in a lazy, tired man ner. He had got about fifty feet when he heard ithem cock their guns. Ho did not turn his head or quicken his pace. " He's a Yank—shoot him !'! called one of the men:; but the scout walked on. They Were trying him ; but he had the nerve of a fciapoleon, nnd he kept his leisurely pace until well away from the neighbourhood.—" Detroit Pree Press."

Victoria and Prince Albert.

,• ♦ i Some Things not Told ix Siu Theo dore Martin's Life of the Piunce Consort. Theodore Martin lias ■omitted some of the minor episodes of domestic life of the Queen and Pjiuee Albert, which would, perhaps, have cust him his spurs linl he related them iv his '; Life of the Late Priuee Consort." When the ougust pair were first married, although the match was one of lovo, at least on the Queen's part, her Majesty could not always control her temper, and on the occasion of one of those triiliug quarrels which occur even in the beat regulated families, she threw a teacup at the-Prince's head. He, excessively in dignnn', retired .to his apartments and looked the door. Ihe Queen's auger having somewhat abated, she thought him suiliciently puuished, and knocked at his door. To the question, "Who's there?' she replied in imperious tones, "The. Queen." Prince Albert did not answer, and sue wcut away. By and by she thought,sho wouldrtr'y again, and to the " Who's there 1" answered '•Victoria." Again there was complete silence, and she again retired. With the perseverance characteristic of a woman alarmed at the trouble to come, she deter mined to try a third time, and in response to the " Who's there?" replied, sobbiugly • "Your own loving wife." This brought Prince Albert to terms, and peace was re established. It is said there was no more teacup-throwing in the happy family. Vet Victoria always remained an exact incr wife, and ueverallowed her spouse what is bourgeoisemeut known as a latchkey. As the Prince presided at many public dinners), it was often close to midnight before he could possibly reach Windsor, and he had accordingly always a ttorm to face for '■ keeping late hours." Finally, the Queen ordered the castle gates to bo closed at 10.30 p.m., and the now much mouutneutcd hus band was locked out if he happened to be behind timr, Prince All srt was thoroughly stingy, and was cordially disliked by the servants of the _ royal household. He ruthlessly abolished all the perquisites which, fiom long custom, they considered themselves en titled to. He went so far as to confiscate the money they received by disposing of the cuds of the wax caudles used to illumi nate the ball and conceit room?. Even in the houses of the smaller gentry the ser vants are aceust me Ito refresh with cold meat and beer any of their friends or the tradesmen calling during the day. At Buckingham Palace the same custon pre vailed. This, however, was too much for the Prince's German ideas of frugality, and he ordered the servants to be placed on board wages, bo that any hospitality thpy wished-to show their friends had to be paid for out of their own pockets. I little won der, then, that when lie died the crief j u the servants' hall was not uucoutrollable.— From the " Hour."

Epitome of an article of the " Berliner kfl ™ nischen Wochenschrift" No. 21, 1879, a medical •a periodical, published at Berlin, with referenoes i to inhalations of the Extract Eucalyptie , Folis (Sander and Sons' Extract Kucalyptus) In n cases of diptheria, by Dr. V. Mosler, professor at tho University of Greifswald, Germany, viz. : " Having experienced the advantages derived from inhalations of tbe extract Bucalyftib Folii in csacs of ecliinococcen of the lunsta with bronchial affections, I made up my mind to tr the same remedy in cases of Diphtheria. D Salenz, a pupil of mine has sin^o, in his dls-:era tion, reported the particulars of the cases - treated, and I may be allowed briefly to refer to B one of the cases enumerated therein. Ida X., of Pa'ewalk, twenty years of oge, had on the 19th February, 1879, a fit of chilling fever with violent pains in her throat. She called upon a medical practitioner, wto, recognizing c at once the case to bo one of diphtheritia, made her enter my l:linik, where ) had to separate her from tho other patients. The patient, well developed for her age, was complaining of paina in her throat, which grew worEe when she en -3 deavourrd to swailow, speak, or move the neck. The '.übmaxillar and Rubmental glands were mucli swollen, sind the fever was of a remitting nati ri. The condition of the patient wason the 22ml of February: V. anuth=3o.l C, pulse=96 respiration=2o. Prescription: Extract euc. c. g foliia to be inhaled for twenty minntes e?ery hour. The fol:owinjj (Jay the patient threw out BmaU particles of o.xnvJat. The local appear ances in the pharynx grew worse, and tho exsudats wero more extended over the mucous - membrane. That increase of symptoms caused mo to augment the do3o to ono tea 0 spoonful of extract one. used for inhala '• tion ; also the inha'ntio'S were continued 1 daring the night. On the 27ih vutient got better and tils fever had subsided. On examining the 5 pharynx it was cosily to bo noticed that tho pro a cees o; diphtheraid t';iv<) v.ay, and on the 11th of 9 March the patient was restored to health and discharged. The report in question saya that the Eucalypti Tr xtract in all cases of diphtherlties 1 proved successful; it also sets forth cases of luryngitisandbroixhit'tt, chronica, pneumonia, * cronpofla dextra, tc to pharyngitis, combined. with Uiryn«iti?, treated succ-ssfully with the | Bucilypti Extract.
