The men fired. 021! How Archie's heart jumped at the sound. They could not tell-.ut‘flret what emct the ehot had. The boat driltbd with the tide, which was coming :ln. Pre- sently she ran ashore, but no one vgot out.

Verdi. the celebrated composer, led the grand chorus and orchestra a few deye ago during the perfmmnce of his " Mun " at the Scale Theatre Milan. Before the doors were opened the pnoe 0! seats had advanced from 87 to 325 each. The buikiing we} orowgled -, .. nominee his baton in the air for a mo- ment, and then. with a sweeping beat. drew forth the fireit delicisoaelhsrl'lmony 0; this_ sub lime compoe tion. t yt e trem 1W ‘ s Mailed out. and coach instrument broke in upon the theme the notes swelled out louder anddoujder until it ,hzoke forth into a startling and'grimd effect. And now Verdi steps out from his desk and’fecing the chorus,who rise, and aweeping his baton again with majestic movgtnent, and with a stamp 01 his . foot. he gives the eignel for the first notes of the grand ‘ chorus. Words are insdequete to impartthe rich fulness of the voices and the perfectness of time and expression. We have often heard chorus music. but never before such a grand combination of voices and talent. Would that eome of our societies could have heard this music rendered by these two hundred perfect singers. It was grand, the orchestra perlect. the chorus perfect. the music sublime. Verdi seemed carried away with the parlormance, and his baton rose and loll with gentle grace or swift, sharp move. ments, and every string and instrument and voice responded with ‘a perfection that was i miraculous. The chorus ceases, but ere its echoes are gone thunders of applause and ‘ braves ’ rend the air, and Verdi bows again. The success was increased with each number of the great work. the ‘ Domlue Jesu,‘ the ' Sanctus ' end the fine culmination of the ‘ Agnes Dei’ at the close. Then broke forth the shouts of the multitude. Every one was on his feet. the noise was deafening. Showers and clouds of flowers and wreaths were thrown from the boxes and covered the stage and the singers. The people were wild with delight and enthusiasm. Verdi and the artists bowed their thanks again and again. and still the uproar continued and the hou- quets and wreaths came down in a steady shower. The scene culminated by the crowning of Verdi with a wreath of laurel." with the balmy and fashion 0! the city. When Verdi appeared the applause was loud 5nd long. A correspondent of the Philadel- phia Telegrapll yritpl: The continued concentration of large bodies of troops in the north of Italy is beginning to be viewed with suspicion in Austria. which has only 9.600 infantry. 940 cavalry. 1.400 field artillery. 700 garrison artillery. and 200 engineers. or altogether a force of 12,740 men. quartered in the neigh- borhood of her Italian frontier. Italy. on the other hand. hm now assembled 49.700 infantry. 10,360 caValry. 7.200 field artillery. i 2.700 garrison artillery. and 8.750 engineers; or a total force of 73,710 men of all arms oi ‘ the service near the Austrian frontier. the four fortresses forming the famous Quadri~ lateralheing especially strongly gerrisoned. It is also well known that much attention has been lately given by the Italian military authorities to perfecting the organization of the sooaiied Alpine troopsâ€"the force which. permanently quartered in the mountains on the northern frontier of Itsly. would. in the event of the latter country becoming involved in hostilities with either of her neighbors on the north. be called upon to cover the mobi- lization of the Italian forces. or act as an advanced guard to any forward movement. ‘Bnt beside- producing on efloot upon tho health and mind. thin physio“ defect oiton ind: to a personal deformity, for it h‘u been rhown that oi thou who ore crowned. eighty per cent. ll due to the not thot the hue too short on oyo.-â€"Dr. Ednrdl G. 3. in Harper: magazine for August.

Beiore proceeding to the evidence he must ask the Court to dismiss from their minds any bias which they might heve received irom his basing been dismissed irom employment on the staff. However deplorable might be the death at the Prlnoeâ€"eni no one regretted it more than himself. ior he would willingly heve changed places with the Princeâ€"yet he should assume. it he wee guilty. he should have been equally guilty it by his eonduet he «need the death 01 the humblest soldier in the torus. The escort we'e’eeid to be under his charge. but. such ehslge had never been put- npon him. and he believed he wee eceompsny- leg the Prince Imperial as e‘brother officer oi junior rank performing similar duties. At the same time he recognized that whether senior or junior it was hie duty to deal! in hie power to rescue the Prince irom his perilous position. and he hoped to show that he had done so. Proceeding then to review the evidence. he showed that the witnesses concurred in saying that alter crossing the dongs the survivors had pulled _up to a walk. and that disposed oi the charged) galloping __-J away. It 'was true that they- had galloped away from. the immediate ‘icinity of the kraal, but that he contended was the only reason- able course open to them. and as to deserting the Prince he had seen him last with his left foot in the stirrup and his hands on the saddle, and the fair inference was that he had mounted with the rest on giving the word of command. At that instant .the volley was fired, and the Zalus with a shout rushed out on them. frightening the horses. A but was between him and thw Prince‘ Im- perial, and they passed it on diflerent'hides. and that prevented him seeing,Ila the Prince leave the‘kraal. The evidence howed that fromf y to fifty Zulus attac‘fed them and that th came up in numbers on the left. and that fourteen were seen following the Prince in the dongs. and the evidenceof Capt. Stuart proved that they were thick in the neighborhood. With such a proof of‘ superior force about. and with the belief that the Prince was mounted. it was his duty he conceived. for the sake of the rest of the party, seeing that they were under a heavy fire, with the enemy shouting and rushing upon them. to consider their safety. But the fact was that a rush took place;. and in that rush he was carried aWay. That the Prince rode away with the rest he thought' there could be but little doubt, and once mounted he was justified in considering the Prince had as good aohance of safety as any of them. considering the superior character of his horse. It was only the witness Grubb who said that he had led the flight. Every other witness said that all left together. His own impression was that two men rushed past him. and all left together. It might be said why not rhly at the kraai and charge the enemy? But was ° ch a some possible when there were bu six lmen with unloaded carbinss. no swords. and the horses bolting along across an unknown country? He contended it was not. and that there was no course open to them except to bolt from the hraai. He was next chkgsd with not rallying the escort between the dongs and the kreal.' He had ngt dione that. becaufit: he E‘d‘ judged it at tet eto impel. s. glad he ed atthe line to everyone e kegp :6 'Itlhe' sit. bees he wished to direct them. knowing the c tryiictterlthan the men. to the best plan for coil'sctin . The charge was of so gene al a minafiat the whole onus probandi wee, brown is on hiin‘as regards the possi- bility! and at ity of doing so at all. He would. however. address himself to both points. With regard to the possibility of rallying between the kraai and the dongs the might reflect for a moment on the evi ence of Letock. who. on passing Grubb. .urged him to spur faster as the Prince was down and the Zuius were upon them. while he himself was riding on his stomach in the saddle and could only recover his seat when over the dongs. Ber t Wilils’ horse had bolted with him. an 119 could not have rallied on the kraal side of the l donga. Grubb said he could do nothing but ‘ gallop until far beyond the dongs. and all the I witnesses concurred in say ing that they con- 1 sidered any attempt to r on the kraal side oi the dongs as utterlyu ess ; and he at the time had to deal with the facts of long grass, an advancing enemy. frightened horses and scattered men. and with the Prince not in sight. nor was he told of his fate until long after. so that he was under the impression he had got away. while all the while the Zulus were pursuing hotly on the left. They. however. soon walked their horses, and then he. as surviving officer. came to the conclusion of the rest of the party as to the impossibility of doing anything for the rescue of the Prince. With regard to the utility of rallying. all the witnesses agreed that nothing could have been done to save the Prince's lite, and it then became his duty to take the steps necessary to save the rest of the escort. He had therefore shouted to the rest of the men to join him. and he asked the Court to consider the position he was inâ€"with (our men scattered and disor- ganized. out of reach of fire on tho dongs. Zulus seen everywhere. and still rushing forward. and with nothing seen on the right ‘ but a rlderless gay horse. Judging from the rapidity of the tire. which all the witnesses I confirmed. he saw no reason to doubt then ' that the Prince must have been shot oil his l horse. Considering then his duty with regard to the rest of the escort, he had called them to join him when he had learnt the truth with regard to the Prince. The Zulus had already passed the spot where he had been last seen by the only witness who had seen him in the dongs. and he thought any one who was present could have come to no other conclusion than he and the witnesses had come. vim. that nothing could be done then to save the Prince. He thought the Court would be of opinion that the evidence proved he had been calm and collected. and he heped they would believe that he had acted under very difficult and perilous circumstances in the best way for the safety of the party. No one more deeply e regretted than himself the loss of the Prince. u but he honestly believed that no eflort of his u would have saved Hisflighnssa‘liie.‘ (NEED!

Wmmrno. Manitoba.â€"The Lieutenant- Governor oi Ontario and party arrived thie morning at Cross Lake. one hundred mliel east of here, alter thirteen days‘ journey over the Dawson Route. They ware received by Lieutenant-Governor Cauohon. who had been in waiting there ior iour days in anticipation oi their arrival. Alter dinner the party embarked in a special train on the Canada Pacific Railway ior this city. The train was made up' at two box cars and a passenger coach, and wee in charge oi Mr. Charles Whitehead. superintendent oi section illteen. The' Indians who paddled the Ontario party from Prince Arthur’s Lending occupied one oi the box cars and the luggage was etowcd in the other. Alter leaving Selkirk. and when within fliteen miles of Winnipeg, a smash up took place. The train was travelling at the rate oi eighteen miles an hour. when all at once the tender. which was ioremost. jumped the track. The engine driver. Condell. im- mediately reversed the engine. but it too leit the track. as also did the two box care. In this way the train ran about a hundred and twenty feet and then came to a standstill.- the engine and cars lying all piled up in a heap. The tender was upturned on the left side of the track and the engine had fallen over to the right, while the box‘ care crushed over both. The shock was very great. The Indians, numbering about thirty. were hurled one on top oi the other into a corner. and in this position they remained until the train stopped. when they jumped heiter-skelter from the doors and windows. The engine driver stuck to his lover until lie was thrown from the cab. being followed by the fireman. Richard Smith. All was con- lused in an instant, and the party in the passenger coach. which remained on the track. rushed out in alarm to ascertain the late oi the other passengers. Fortunately none were fatally injured. A brakeman named Kirkup had his shoulder dis- located ;. the engine driver was out about the head and different parts of the body; the fireman suffered seriously from the con- cuseion. and three or four indians were wounded about the head. The other! escaped uninjured beyond a severe shaking and some alight bruises. Dr. Thcrburn, 0! Toronto, and Dr. Herriman, 01 Lindsay. who were on the train, dressed the men's injuriee and reported favorably concerning all. In the meantime MrsWhitehead hurried hereon a hand car ior aseistance, and in three hours returned to the scene of the accident with five hand-cars, no other means at conveyance being available.
