Salvation Army Orgies.

(Fjbom 008 London Cokrespondent.)

The Salvaliou-.Army continues ta moiopo- Use a large portion of public attention. It cannot, however, be said that they are gaining ground amongst thoughtful or re ligious people. The more indeed the latter see of their ravinga and proceedings the greater bceomes their disapprobation. .Dur ing the Moody and Sankey revival the increase ot insanity was unpleasantly no ticeable, but since General .Booth took to what the poor call "carrying on," it has become simply prodigious. Th. se whs have noticed the well nigh delirious excitement pervading certain revival meetings ■will easily comprehend tbat no weak mind could stand it long. The other day the Army held a great gala in honour of having ac quired th« large buildings known as the Ureecian Theatre and Ka«le Tavern. This bouse, situated in ons of the poorest and most densely populated quarters of London, has providod honest and healthy, and somewhat melodramatic entertainment tor many (thousands fof hard-working families, and the drinking shops of the district are so far the greatest gainers by its extermination. The Salvationists, in po;nt of fact, seem likely to do little or no good here, Their best visitors come from a distance. City Road folks are notorious for sound sanse and they naturally canuot understand why they should be deprived of their theatre by a lot of noisy eccentrics, who, though nominally the friends of law and order, jet torn night into day with braying brass hands and yelling "hoodlums," and rejoice in having attracted to a poor yet hither to fairly respectable neighbourhood all the pickpockets of Whitechapel and cut-throats of Batcliffe Highway. A friend of mine attended the opening festivities at the Grecian, and was subsequently introduced by Mr Booth to one of his most interesting and—be it added— recent recruits, a con verted burglar. '■ I may," said this gentle man to me afterwards, " have wronged the repentant creature, but all the time he was describing to me how he 'found Jesus,' his eyes were fixed on my gold watch-chain with a covetous leer. When he retired, I had to tell the General that not all the conversion he was capable of would induce meto aocompany the erstwhile 'burgling one' five yards down a lonely lane on a dark night." ' The proceedings at this eventful rt opening of the Grecian nuwt, from all accounts, have been more entertaining than edifyiug. There was a consecration s»ng. sweetly sung by the Misses Sooth, with the refrain " I will" be Thine," varied after the usual profane manner of the Salvationists by the substitution of the words " The Eagle ia mine'" in the last verse; and there were, of course, the customary groanines, hallelujah shoutings, and amen volley firings, by which the Aimy are in the habit of relieving what they call spiritual, but which it is to be feared is occasionally spirit«o!«, excitement. Amongst the in cidents of the meeting was the spirited rendering of a new song by "Major" Smith with the attractive title " Blood and Fire." The "Major" was once a godless and ilt-pnid acrobat, but is now saved, and draws (what he admits to be) a " very tidy salary " as a Salvation officer. He accom. panied the ditty by jumping up and down like a jack-in the-box, and the effect (we ought all be glad to hear) was "most humorous.'* The "Major" disposed of, General Booth introduced an elderly lady named Annie Taylor, who announced, with obvious pride, that she had been sent to gaol over 400 times for drunkenness. This statement was greeted with warm applause. "Indeed," as a convert, who afterwards addressed the meeting too, pithily re marked, "the bigger beast yer hare the be'ther yer liked 'ere.'" A real live murderer, could one be caught, would be quite a "star." I got a copy of the Army's journal, the War Cry, to send to Hew Zealand yester day, and it lies before me now. 3 hongh uot so outrageously blasphemous as it used to be, the contents are stiil very bad. There is a bulletin from Bochdale—" On Sunday nice souls came to Jesus. One young man seemed in great trouble, bat went home penitent, fle was killed next morning. Hallelujah! We shall meet him in heaven." For cold callousness this rant can't be matched, but it is scarcely so revolting as the following :-Five souls secured yester day, line of them had left two dead babies to come to be saved." Drunkenness ap parently does not materially interfere with conversion. "Captain" Lizzie Smith, after describing "a real blood and fire Free and-Kasy" relates how her battalion caught a "poor drunkard very far gone," and nover left him "till he fell on his knees crying for pardon." Whilt wobbling about "at the mercy seat" this interesting but inebriated recruit was, as might be ex pected, " mnch affected" {i.e., in , the maudlin stage of intoxication). What happened when he came to himself is not stated, but I sincerely hope his joy did not affect him in the same seiions manner as it did a poor iellow described by_ "Lieut." Punter who was so violently exhilarated by salvation that he "narrowly escaped chokey." ■■'■'■■■

Fiendish Revenge.

A FEOD has loDg existed in Pike Coanty, Hast Kentucky, says the Lynchhirg Vir ginian, between the Chatfield and McLoy lamilieg. The Chatfields are the more numerous aad phjsically the larger, the McLoys being small in stature, lhe fend originated in quarrels when mere children. Kaised on neighbouring farm.", they had fought when gathering nats, splashed and ducked eoch other while bathing, and carried on their animosity until, as they grew to manhood, the Chatfields being larger and stronger men, had conquered the McLoys. They made them slaves. Catch ing Jim McLoy one day while they were grinding for cider in an old-fashioned mill with a long sweep, they took the horse out and made nim get on Ms knees and push the sweep around until ,they srew tired of the brutal fun, whipping him with rods to make him go faster. They had compelled the McLoys to go into their fields and hoe their corn without pay. On the 7th mat. (election day), oue of the Chatfield clan warned Jim McLoy that he must not vote unless be voted with him. McLoy replied that he would not vote at all. This did not suit the overbearing Chatfield, who said : 11 You'd better go then and vote qnick, and vote as I tell yon.". Young McLoy straightened himself up, and, in a voice trembling with r.age, probably mingled with fear.sald : " Cnatfield, yon have made me go down on my knees and grind apples for you, and hoe corn tor you, but you can't make me vote but just as I please to-day.'' Chatfield responded to this with a fierce oath and a motion as if to draw afpistol. McLoy drew a knife, and, dodging the ballet from his enemy's pistol, he (sprang at bis tormentor with a cry of rage, and made ablush which denuded the bone of one arm; of ils flesh from the shoulder to the elbow. Then with powerful blows, he slashed Chat field across the breast from _ shoulder to waist, and again in the other direction. He must have diiven the keen long blade hilt deep through clothing and Ue*h at least twenty times before Chatfield fell. Ho fled a shoit distance and tken surrendered him self, declaring he had acted in self defence. He was immediately surrounded by the Chatfield clan, with do friend in sfaht. McLoy's fl'ptors took him across Tug Kiver into West Virginia. Afraid that the authorities of that State would be better enforcers of ihe law than those of their own they returned with him on that or the next day. They had apparently made up their minds to a policy of extermination. They Bent out parties and brought in McLoy s two brother*, aged respectively 22 and 18 rears The second biother had been guilty of no other offence than beingpresent when the killing occurred, while the boy of 18 was not only not present, but had never taken any part in the feud between the two sets of men, either by word or deed. Bavins' captured the three boys the party struck for the woods. Nothing more was seen of them, and after allowing sufficient time for vengeance to be wreaked, Ihe citi zens sent out a party to investigate. After some search the bodies were found in a thicket. Ihe boys had been made to stand in a row, their arms tied, each one s right arm to his neighbour's left, by green withes, and the free arms of the two on the outside tied in the same manner to two saplings. Strung in this fantastic manner they could not have resisted a woman. Their captors were determined to make themselves safe from the desperation of unarmed men. As they stood there. looKing down a steep hill side, they were shot dead by one shot each in thfe back of the bead, the bullets coming out at the' forehead or near lj;. A shallow trench was dug, the three bodies laid in it, feet to head; and a mound heaped over'them sufficiently fx> giye them four inches of earth. Ihe father of the mur dered" boys came into town the next day, soldhw'teani, with the proceeds bought a rifle and ammunition, and returned to the bush, determined to have his life, It is be lieved that no relative of the murderers will pass him and live." »

English and American Fashion Notes.

Old bonnet styles are revived. Kound hats will be much wern. Yellow for* will be much worn. Kgyptian red gloves are the rage. There U a deniaud for furs in their natural colours.

Scotch plaid satins appear among silk dress goods.

Furs are displayed in the Fourteenth street windows.

Mahogany red is as fashionable as mahogany furniture. Postilion pleats to be in good fo:m must be pressed flat. Masculine hats, jacket?, redingotes, and ulsters are much worn.

Puffed and shirred brims are a feature in Fan's hats aud bonnets.

Black lace is used in cascades, in com bination with furs, for cloak trimming. Dyed fnrs are not out of vogue, but un dyed ones are gaining in popular favour. Seal and otter furs, in their natural colours, trim many handsome cloaks and costumes. •

The basque, to be in good form, must define the figure to perfection, but should not be tight. lace of «yery description appear on new costumes, in nock lingerie, and on iine underwear.

Capote bonnets are mad« longer and more pointed in the brim in front and shorter in tho back.

White woollen stuffs, veilings, Chudda cloth", and foul 6 goods will be used for winter festival dresses.

The blouse waistcoat in Eatin surah ap pears on many stylish suits of velvet and plnsti for little folks. Cloaks of plusb, brocade, and velvet are more frequently lined with satin or plush tban with fur.

Cn the richest fur-tiimmed cloaks the fastenings are metal chains looped over heads of animals in fine carved woods.

Nothing can be prettier than tha use of the new high art colours in the fall and winter garments of little people. To mingle two kinds ot lace on one cos tume, bonnet, or piece of neck lingerie, is good form and correct taste at present. There is a fancy at present for house dresses composed of a solid-coloured jacket and a bright plaid or novelty fabric skirt. Large long buckles in coloured aud iri descent metals are used to fasten tbc looped draperies of silk and fine woollen dresses. Long plain cloth pelisses, finished with collars and cuffs of plush, are the best fall wraps for eVery-day and business purposes. Red Tern U'Shanter caps and 'lurkish fezes on the heads of little folks make Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets bright and gay. White wool combined with velvets and plushes in the new high art colours will form many handsome evening dreasea this fall and winter.

The latest development of fancy millinery is chenille and gold cord braids in the style of the rustic wicker basket bonnets of the past season. It is predicted that black or coloured spencers will be worn by young girls, with muffed white muslin skirts, Of .course this cannot be a street costumes.

Two ostrich plumes, one of small blue, the other of terra cotta colour, are favourite adornments of hats and bonnets, either ol smalt blue or terra cotta velvet,

India shawls are being utilised for wraps. They are made up with rich fur-borders, velvet sleeves, plush lining?, and carved wood heads of animals for fastenings.

One of the most striking novelties is pressed plash— a fabric in which the long pile is pressed by machinery into flowers, owls' heads, leaves, arabesquo?, and other popular figures. The richest embroideries are tbo Damas cene, made with a triple cord of silver, gold, and steel, set on as soutache in Oriental designs. These are used exclu sively for opera, theatre, and' carriage wraps. Fan-pleated ornaments form the neck finish in front of some of the new Paris made dresses, while a high dollar rolls over in the back. The fans fill the eide of the neck in a manner that is very be coming to slender, long-necked women ; bnt such a style must be worn with grace and elegance, or it becomes a caricature.

Robbery of a Great Italian Library.

Several officials of the Italian Govern ment, including a Boinan Prefect and a royal librariaD, have recently been prose cuted by the State Attorney of Borne for gigantic robberies committed by them selves, or at thoir instigation, from the Victor Emanuel Library, a collection of valuable books, commenced some twelve years ago by the present King's illustrious father. Many inestimable literary treasures ia the way of ecclesiastical chronicles, for merly the property of monastic and con ventual communities, dissolved under the late monarch's reign, were included in this magnificent collection; and for some years past these priceless works have been made away with by their custodians in vast numbers, sometimes by seta, for nominal prices, and more frequently still by the hundredweight at an average price of about three farthings per pound. One of the under librarians has a brother in Florence who keeps a sausage, cheese, and butter shop. At this person's place ol business have been found some six thou sand volumeß belonging to the Victor tfmmanuel library, sold and delivered to him by his relative in Rome and in voiced as waste paper. The important dis covery was brought about by the accident that a Florentine bibliophile happened to purchase some slices oE sausage which were wrapped up ia a sheet of printed matter torn from a rare and curious old book, the remainder of which he bought for a con siderable sum from the theeaemongi r. Finding that It had been abstracted from the above-mentioned collection, he forth with gave information to the police authorities.

Senator Cremona, one of the commitioe appointed some time ago by the Italian Parliament to report upon the S<ate col lections of books and manuscripts, deposed' at an early stage of the trial, which is not yet concluded, that when he visited the Victor Kmanuol Libiary, not long age, in his official capacity, he found its doors and windows open or broken, poultry roosting on the shelves among tbe books, and pigeons fluttering about the rooms. Popu lar indignation runs high against Prefotto Castellani and Bibliotcccario Fodesta, who are. assumed to be responsible for all the damage and loss sustained by the collection. Tbe other persona arraigned arc mere un> der-strappcrs, who, for the most part, did only what their official masters ordered them to do. Sentence in the cases of .the chief culprits is awaited with feverish anxiety by the Roman public.

The Danger of Smoking Cigarettes.

Scarcely less injurious, in a subtle and generally unrecognised way, than the habit or taking "nips" of alcohol between meals, is the growing practice of smoking cigar ette* incessantly. We have not a word to say againßt smoking at siritablo times and in moderation, nor do our remarks at this moment apply to the use of cigars or pipes. It is against the habit of smoking cigarettes In large quantities, with the belief that these miniature doses of nicotine are innocuous, we desire to entei a protest. The truth is that, perhaps owing to tbe way the tobacco leaf is shredded, coupled with the fact that it is brought into more direct relation with the mouth and air pas sages than when it is smoked in a pipe or cigar, the effects produced on the nervous system by a free consumption of cigarettes are more marked and characteristic than thoße recognisable after recourse to other modes of smoking. A pulse tracing made after the subject has smoked say a dozen cigarettes will, as a rule, be flatter and more indicative of depression than oae taken after the smoking of cigar?. It is no uncommon practice for young men who smoke cigarettes habitually to consume from eight to twelve in an hour, and to keep thia up for four or five hours daily, The total quantity of tobacco con sumed may not seem large, but beyond question the volume of smoke to which the breath organs of the smoker are exposed, and the characteristics of that smoke as re gards the proportion of nicotine introduced into the syst-m. combine to place the or ganism very f folly under flp influence of the tobacco A considerable number of cases have been brought u'ader bur notice during the lasjt few month*, in which youths and young men who have not yet completed jthe full term of physical development have had their health seriously impaired by the practice of almost inpessantly smoking pigareitea. It fs well that the facts should be known, as the impression evidently pre vails that any number of these lictle •'wbiffs" must needs be perfeitly innocu ous, whereas they of ian do infinite barm. — 1 Lpndon lancet,

THE GLOVE.

(To the fcditor.)

Srn,—W,E, has Riven his rondrrng of "The Glove," Mr Alfred Sharpe has cou tiibuted what he oonaiders an improvement upon W.E.s version, and now I submit a third, which injits concise, and yet simple and forcible language, to my mind intro duces and "reflects" the scene more vividly and tiuthfully than either. Mr Sharps has pointed out what he considers defects in W.K.s version considered as a literary effort. The version supplied by Mr Sharpe U not, however, free from objection. His poet could never have con sidered the impossibility of the task he set his hero to perform when he placed the glove nc;ually between the paws of the infuriated beast. No amount, of dexterity ou the part of tho knight could have ro'Otied it from such a position. The version which I submit (learnt at school long ae.o, and which is by Leigh Hunt, and I think of earlier date than that supplied by Mr Sharpe) contains notbing super-human or marvellous likely to throw discredit ou the story. Then, again, Hunt's hero does not lay the rescued glove at the lady's feet with a cringing obeisance, but by a mute yet repressive action, so very much more significant than woids, and which we must all applaud, shows, not only the lady her self what he thinKs cf her, but proclaims his feelings to the whole assembled com pany, thereby heaping oonfuaion upon her head. Tni» eh mem- is wautiug iv Mr Sharpe's version. Again, wilh what satis faction we find that the jolly old king him self approves the snub, and, rising to leave, turns his back upon her, and—everyone must add—serves her right. Hunt intensi fies in our minds the humiliation she must have felt upon being deserted by the com pany, who would oc course follow the king. He leaves her there to collect her scattered senses. It is not easy to realise the depth of her feelings at such a moment, but we can readily picture to ourselves the prostrite form — the blank stare — and catch the faintly utteied exclamation " Oh carry me out I" which would not unnaturally follow.

Sir, —Your correspondent "W.K." is, in my opinion quite correct in stating that your Saturday's Supplement contains many interesting, instructive, and amusing notet. J, with many others, I am sure, road his translation o£ Schiller's poem with interest. lam sorry to say that, not being veried in German, I oannot criticise its translation, as he invite, but the MSS. read so interestingly that I hope you will glvo in your next edition a copy of "The Glove" by Leigh Hunt, as ie appears in "Bell's Modern Header," in Miscellaneous Extracts, No. 74, page 372, published in 1879.—Yours faithfully, W.S.

Botli correspondents supply the same poem, which we give underneath, It is in no sense a translation of the German poem, but an entirely different rendering of the same incident.

THE GLOVE AND THE LIONS.

King Francis was a hearty King, and lovod a royal sport, And ono day as his lions fought, sat looking on tho Court: Sho nobles filled tho benches round, tho ladies by thoir sido, And niongst thorn sat tho Count do Lorge, with ono for whom ho sighed ; And truly 'twas a gallant thing to sco that

crowning show— Valour and love, and a King above, and tho royal beasts below.

Ramped and roared, the lions, with horrid lauchinKJaws— They brt, they glared, i?avo blows liko beams, a. wind went 'with thoir paws ; With wallowing might and stilled roar they

rolled on one another. Till all the pit with siand and mane was 1b a thunderous smother. The bloody foam above tho bars camo whizzing through tho air. • Said| Francis then : " Faith, gcntlomcn, we ro better hero than there!"

Do Lorgo'a lovo o'orheard tho King—a beau teous lively damo, With smilig lips and sharp bright eyes, which always seemed the same. She thought—"Tho Count, my lover, is brave as bravo can be. Ho surely would do wondrous things to show his love of mo; King, Ladies, Lovors, all look on ; tho occaßion is divino; I'll drop my glovo to prove his lovo-great glory will bo mine.".

Sho dropped hor glovo to pvovo his love, then looked at him and smiled. Ho bowed, and in a momont leaped among the lions wild. Tho leap was quick, roturn was quick—ho has rogainod tho place- Then throw tho glove—but not with lovo—right in the lady's face. "In truth," cried Francis, "rightly done,"and ho roso from whero ho sat; "No lovo," quoth bo, " but vanity, sots lovo a task like that!"

ELOPING WITH A NEGRO.

Pretty Miss Beeves Creates a Profound Sensation.

POKT Jeffebson (L. I.), August 26,—A decided sensation has been created through out this part of Long Island over the elope ment of Miss Fanny JReeves, a [.repossessing and highly educated young white woman, with Charles Jackson, her father's farm hand. Miss Reeves is about 20 years old, and the daughter of Alexander Reeves, a well-to-do farmer, living neor Comae. Jaclnon is 28 years old, rather lino look ing, but a fall-blooded negro. He ba* been in Mr Reevea's employ nearly ten years. Miss Reeves was absent at boarding school, having returned home a month ago on her summer vacation. The parents of the run away girl had noticed that a strong attach ment existed between their daughter and Jackson, but thought nothing strange ot it until Friday morning, when it was found that she had disappeared during the night, as had also Jackson. A note was found in Miss Ueeves's room> stating that she had gone away with Jackson, but failing to state where. It is thought trie conple started for New York. A ladder was found tinder Miss Rseves's bedroom win dow. Doubtloss the ladder had been the means of exit from the borne ot her childr hood.

The Herman Emperor's Appre ciation of his Surgeons.

FOE the second time during the reign of William L, Gorman Imperor and King of Prussia, the highest honour to which a Prussian State official oan aspire has been conferred upon a modical man. By the venerable monarch's Bpecial decree Dr Yon Langenbeck, the eminent pathologist and surgeoD, has been raised to the rank of Actual Privy Councillor, with the title of Excellency. The Emperor's body doctor, Lauer, is the only other disciple of Galen in Prussia, poseesed of this supremo dis tinction, which, by tho way, was be stowed on him by his Majesty on tho sov ereign's eightieth birthday, in fulfilment of a j-sting promise made ten years previ omly. During the customary birthday reception of the court and household on the 22nd of Match, IBG7, William 1., who had that morning completed his tale of three score and tan, singled out ! r Lauer from the circle of state officials gathered round him, and shook hands with him, observing jocu larly, "Well, Laner, if yon manage to get me as far as eighty, this day ten years, I'll make you an excellent present 1" Sure enough, a decade later, on the emperor's natal day, Dr Lauer {received his diploma as Privy Councillor and Excellency, ac companied by a'draft pn his Majesty's private bankers, for the Prussian equivalent of 70Q0 guineas, his valedictory fee as "Body Surgeon to the Emperor and King." __.

Showing up the Drunkards.

Some novel and ingenious methods of deal' ing with drunkards are coming in'o vogue. It is well-known that publicity has a ten dency to check drunkennessj hence in America many liquor shops are so con structed that the whole interior is exposed to public view, and we should like to see the same thing done here, In Haut- ft Isace the authorities have hit upon a new method ot" showing uo the topeis. They haya pub lished the names of the drunkards in a cor tain district, and have forbidden any of them to be supplied with intoxicating liquor. If guph a'black list were issued in Englaud what an outcry there would be about teetotal tyranny aad about infring ing tho liberty of the subject, though for our pwn part we uhould not object t'> it. People who ma]{e themsplves a nuieance to gopipty forfeit a]}' thg, privilege's of gqod citizens, and might Without injustice be deprived ot a freedom, which they only abuse. In Denmark a new law provides that drunken persons are to be conveyed home in carriages at the expense of the publican who sold .them the last glass. A hotter arrangement would be that the publican should be compelled to lodge them for the night and supply them with breakfast nest morning,

AN AUTOGRAPH.

I write my name as ono On samls by waves o'orruu, Or winter's frosted pane, Traces n record vain.

Oblivion's blunkness claims Wiacr and better names,

And well my own may pass As from the strand or glass.

Wash on, O waves ot time ! Jlelt, noons, the frosty rime! AVelcomo tho shadow viißt, Tlio Bileuco that shall last!

When I ami all who know And love mo vanish so,

What harm to them or ma Will tho lost inemouy b*o ?

If any words of mine, Through ripnt of life divkic, Reruaiu. what matters it Whose hand the message writ?

Why should tho " crowner's quest" Sit on my worst or best? . Why should the showman claim The poor ghost of my name?

Yet, as when dies a sound Its spectro lingers round, llnplr my spent life will Leave somo faint echo stil.

A whisper giving breath Of praise or blame to death, Soothing or saddening suoh As loved tho living much.

Therefore, with yearnings vain And fond. 1 still would fain A kindly juilgmeut seek, A tenclor thought bespeak.

And, while my words are read, Lot this at least bo said:

'• Whato'er his littlo defeatures, Ho loved his fellow-creatures.

" If, of tho Law's stono table, To hold he scarce was able The first great precept fast, Ho kept for man the last.

" Through moral lapso and dullncs» What lacks tho Eternal Fullness, If still our weakness can Lovo Him in loving man ?

" Ago brought lilm no despairing Of tlio world's future faring; In human naturo sttll Ho found more good than ill.

" To all who dumbly suffered His tongue and pen ho offered His life was not his own, Nor lived for self alone.

" Ho loved the scholar's quiot, Yet, not untempted by it, Or poet'a dream of beauty, He strovo to do his duty.

"Ho meant no wrong to any, lie sought the good of many, Yet knew both sin and folly- May God forfrivo him wholly !" —John a. Whiiticr in Our Cottttntnt.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

TUB " Nature " says that the workiof build ing a new central school for Ihgenieun dos Arts et Manufactures vras inaugurated in Paris a short time ago in the Calie St. Mar tin Square, behind the Conservatoire ia» Arte mid Metiers. This central school and the Conservatoire will form a group seno lake of, unexampled usefulness for high in» duatrial training. Professor John Attficld urges pharma cists to become more and more the manu facturers of the preparations they sell. The tendency nowadays was for the retail druggists to rely more and more cm tho wholesale manufacturer. By co doing he was neglecting what oughH; to be a cherished art, and entering into competition wjth othor traders in wh'ch he had very little prospect of meeting with success. The " Sanitary Engineer" reports that a smoke-consuming engine, invented by Wr Kearney, master mechanic of the St. Lonis and San Francisco Kailway, is being ex perimented with in Cbiciigo satisfactorily. The draught is downward,throwing tho sin: ders and smoke bick into the fire-box to bo consumed. ' In the oxpeiiments thug far tnado there has been, it is said, a saving of about 50 per cent, of fuel.

A YQUNCJ Arab of singular though swarthy charms, who was acting as donkey driver to a young lafly of peerless graofc and sensi bility, was observed to «>top suddenly, as tho fall moon rose over the desert, and point with much gesticulation to that heavenly but familiar orb.
