I'm going away to the diamond fields, In Arizona's clime, And come back with my pockets full, To soil you all so fine; And come back with my pockets full Of precious stones, so gay-say-ya— And take your gold, while I know you're sold, And then I'll blee away. Chorus—Then blow ye winds, I oh! To the diamond field I'll go; I'll stay no more on Frisco's shore, To Arizona I'll away; And return with a ruby rare, To make the "sharpe" all stare, Then I'll laugh at the way they're sold, By the bubble of to-day. I'll come back with my pockets full Of specimens so bright, To make you think I found them all By seeking day and night; By seeking day and night, my boys. In Arizona's plains and hills— For the staff you've seen to start this scheme Which my pockets nicely fill. Now all you folks who diamonds want, To Arizona his, And if the guns you cannot find, Some Indian fighting try; Some Indian fighting try, my boys, And we your valor will applaud— If you lose your hair do not daunt me. was pushing on to occupy row pass about ten where he was staying, and session of which would be an opportunity to prevent important movement of the wl was then on foot.

It is sufficient to he determined at once to it. He had no idea of being by the enemy in advance, and he at once seized the pass.

It been vacated by the garrison had heard of the approach Austrians, and had been sent panic thereat, and had fleeced their arms, consisting of muskets. La Tour d'Anvergne gave teeth with rage as he came this. Searching in the bushes found several boxes of ammunition which the cowards had troyed. For a moment he despair, but then with his smile he began to fasten door and pile against his clases as he could find. When done this he loaded all the canisters could find, and placed them er with a good supply of firearm under the loop-holes that manded the road by which my must advance.

COMMERCIAL STREET ... LOS ANGELES For many years there was a touching and beautiful custom to be witnessed in a certain regiment of French grenadiers, and which was meant to commemorate the heroism of a departed comrade. When the companies assembled for parade, and the roll was called, there was one name to which the owner could not answer; it was that of La Tour d'Auvergne. When it was called, the oldest sergeant present, stepped a pace forward, and raising his hand to his cap said proudly: "Died on the field of honor." For fourteen years this custom was continued, and only ceased when the restored Bourbon, to please their foreign masters, forbade everything that was calculated to preserve the spirits of the soldiers of France. La Tour d'Auvergno was not unworthy in life the honor thus paid him after his death. He was educated for the army, entered in 1761, and in 1767 served under the Duke de Crillon in the siege of Port Mahon. He served also with distinction, but constantly refused offers of promotion, saying that he was only fit for the command of a company of grenadiers; but finally, the various grenadier companies being united he found him- La Tour d'Auvergne.

La Tour d'Auvergno was not unworthy in life the honor thus paid him after his death.

He served also with distinction, but constantly refused offers of promotion, saying that he was only fit for the command of a company of grenadiers; but finally, the various grenadier companies being united he found him- in command of a body of eight thousand men, while retaining the rank of a captain. Hence he was known as the First Grenadier of France. But it is of one particular life that we wish to write, more than his career in general. When he was forty years of age he went on a visit to a friend, not far from a section of the country that has become the scene of a campaign. While there he was busy acquaintingly himself with the features of the country, thinking it unlikely that his knowledge might be of use to him, and while he the brave grenadier was ashamed to learn that the war had rapidly shifted to this quarter, that a regiment of Austrians was pushing on to occupy a narrow pass about ten miles from where he was staying, and the position of which would give them opportunity to prevent an important movement of the French, was then on foot. They honored to surprise this post, were moving so rapidly upon that they were not more than two miles distant from the place where was staying, and which they will have to pass on the march, matters not how he heard the gun in position when a rapid fire was opened on it from the tower, and continued with such marked effect that the piece was withdrawn after the second charge with a loss of five men. This was a beginning; so, half an hour after the gun was withdrawn, the Austrian colonel ordered an assault. As the troops entered the defile they were received with a rapid and accurate fire, so that when they passed over half the distance they had to traverse they had lost fifteen men. Disheartened by this, they returned to the defile. Three more assaults were repulsed in this manner, and the enemy by sunset had lost forty-five men, of whom ten were killed. The firing from the tower had been rapid and accurate, but the Austrian commander soon noticed this peculiarity about it—every shot seemed to come from the same place. For a while this perplexed him but at last he came to the conclusion that there were a number of loop-holes close together in the tower, so constructed as to command the raving perfectly. At sunset the last assault was made and repulsed, and at dark the Austrian they honed to surprise this post, were moving so rapidly upon that they were not more than two was distant from the place where was staying, and which they will have to pass on the march, atters not how he heard the It is sufficient to say that determined at once to act upon He had no idea of being capled by the enemy in their advace, and he at once set out for pass. He knew that the pass relienced by a stout tower and prison of thirty men, and he had to be able to warn the men heir danger. He battened on, arriving there, found the tower perfect condition. It had just evacated by the garrison, who board of the approach of the rians, and had been siezed with thereat, and had fled, leaving arms, consisting of thirty sets. Tour d'Anvergne gnashed his with rage as he discovered Searching in the building, he several boxes of ammunition in the cowards had not deal. For a moment he was in air, but then with a grim began to fasten the main and pile against it such artisies he could find. When he had this he loaded all the guns he find, and placed them, togethwith a good supply of ammuninder the loop-holes that commed the road by which the eneust advance. In he ate heartily of the prosess which he had brought with and sat down to wait. He absolutely formed the resolution to defend the tower against the enemy. There some things in his favor in an undertaking. The path keep and narrow, and the enetroops had to enter it in files, and in doing this would be exposed to the fire from the The original garrison of men could easily have held just a division; and now one was to attempt to hold it in a reiment. As dark when La Tour d'Aureached the tower, and he wait some time for the ones they were longer in coming he had expected, and for he was tempted to believe The firing from the tower had been rapid and accurate, but the Austrian commander soon noticed this peculiarity about it—every shot seemed to come from the same place. For a while this perplexed him but at last he came to the conclusion that there were a number of loop-holes close together in the tower, so constructed as to command the raving perfectly. At sunset the last assault was made and repulsed, and at dark the Austrian commander sent a second summons to the garrison. This time the answer was favorable. The garrison offered to surrender at sunrise the next morning, if allowed to march out with their army and to return to the army unmolested. After some hesitation the terms were accepted. Meanwhile La Tour d'Auvergne had passed an anxious day in the tower. He opened the fight with an argument of thirty loaded muskets, but had not been able to discharge them all. He had fired not only with great rapidity, but with surprising accuracy, for it was well known in the army that he never throw away a shot. He was determined to stand to his post until he had accomplished his end, which was so hold the place twenty-four hours in order to allow the French army time to complete its mission. After that he knew the pass would be of no consequence to the enemy. When the demand for a surrender came to him after the assent he consented to it upon the conditions named. The next day at sunrise the Austrian troops lined the pass in two files extending from the mouth to the tower, leaving a space between them for the garrison to pass out. The heavy door of the tower opened slowly, and in a few minutes a bronzeed and scarred grenadier laterally loaded down with muskets, came out and passed down the line of troops. He walked with difficulty under his heavy load. To the surprise of the Austrians, go one followed him from the tower. In astonishment the Austrian colonel rode up to him, and asked in French why the garrison did not come out. "I am the garrison, colonel," said the soldier proudly. "What," exclaimed the colonel; "do you mean to tell me that you alone have held that tower against me?" "I have that honor, colonel," was the reply. "What possessed you to make such an attempt, grenadier?" The original garrison of men could easily have held just a division; and now one was to attempt to hold it in a resiment. As dark when La Tour d'Auvergne reached the tower, and he waited some time for the enemy were longer in coming, he had expected, and for no reason was tempted to believe that abandoning the expedition midnight, however, his practice caught the sound of footsteps. Every moment the sound heard and at last he heard entering the defile. Immediately discharged a couple of men into the darkness to let know that he knew of their intentions, and he the quick, short commands officers, and from the sounds, posed that the troops were from the pass. Until the men he was undisturbed. The commander feeling sure that the garrison had been informing movements, and were pre-receive him, saw that he surprised the post, as he did to do, and deemed it to wait until daylight before his attack. At sunmommoned the garrison to war. A grenadier answered nonna. "Say to your comrade he said, in reply to the war," that this garrison will this post to the last extromi- offers who had borne the once retired, and in about a piece of artillery was into the pass and opened lower, and within easy musket of it. They had hardly In astonishment the Austrian colonel rode up to him, and asked in French why the garrison did not come out. "I am the garrison, colonel," said the soldier proudly. "What," exclaimed the colonel; "do you mean to tell me that you alone have held that tower against me?" "I have that honor, colonel," was the reply. "What possessed you to make such an attempt, grenadier?" "The honor of France was at stake." The colonel gazed at him for a moment with undisguised altrifaction; then, raising his cap, he said warmly: "Grenadier, I salute you. You have proved yourself the bravest of the brave." The officer caused all the arms which La Tour d'Auvergne could not carry to be collected and sent them all with the grenadier into the French lines, together with a note relating the whole affair. When the knowledge of it came to the cars of Napoleon he offered to promote La Tour d'Auvergne, but the latter declined to accept the promotion, saying that he preferred to remain where he was. This brave soldier met his death in action at Aberhaused, in June, 1800, and the simple and impressive scene at roll call in his regiment was performed by command of the Emperor himself. An Indianapolis girl is allied with a mania for stuffing articles into her ears. The doctor who is treating her has already washed out five places of straw, two of coal, an apple seed, two small chicken bones, a piece of gravel and a black beetle. She is anxious, it is evident to turn herself into a perambitating horticultural, agricultural and zoological museum. The doctor should not be permitted to interfere with her landable scientific offers.
