A BEGGAR'S WEDDING GIFT Otto von D — after an absence of severa years, two of which he had spent in luxurious capital of France, was recalled to his native Germany by the unexpected death of his father. He found the family estate in difficulties, chiefly occasioned by extravagance and mismanagement. It was not until his mind was relieved of this first care, and he could uninterruptedly form his plans for the future, that Otto thought of choosing a companion who might share with him the sweets of life, and assist him in combating its tools. He had left Alekole, the youngest daughter of his neighbor Von Z. — an interesting girl of 14; on his return he found her blooming in all the charms of youthful innocence. He therefore embraced an early opportunity to declare his sentiment; and after the pre-extravagantly, till a short time before my departure, my evil stars brought me acquainted with some young man who were adiated to gambling, and who little by little, led me on to make, first small, and then large means as play. "I immediately formed the resolution to pause me it was so late, and quit the capita forever, after discharging the debt which I had contracted. I therefore wrote to my father, requesting such a remittance as might be necessary for this purpose; but that letter, and several which I went subsequently, remained unanswered. My bills mean while became due. I was forced to have recourse to the assistance of maurers, and ruin stared me in the face. "Disheartened, go my and silent, I now passed Jaques without noticeing him; his fixel, earnest gaze becomes intolerable, and I avoided the place where he stood. At length I received the long looked-for letters from home; but instead of the remittances with which I had hoped to silence the most clamorous of my credits, they brought me the intelligence of my father's death, after a short illness, and announced the impossibility of sending me more money than would barely suffice for my traveling expense. The idea of having debts which I could not discharge, and the promise of prison in a foreign land, throw me into despair. The longer I considered, the more did my situation appear utterly hopeless, till at length, in a state of min bordering on frenzy, and with a determination which such a state only could inspire, I walked out after a sleepless night, and bent my course toward the river. I was already within a few paces of the Pont Neuf, when Jaques threw himself with greater importance than usual, in my way. I would not see him. "One word, sir," said he, in a tone of entreaty, and t king hold of the skirt of my coat. "Leave me, oI man," said I, with forced composure; "to day I have given all away." He guessed my meaning better than I intended he should d. By all that's sacred, my dear young master, said he solemnly: 'confide in me What has happen it?' What is that to those? I replied: 'thou cannot not help me!' Who knows? Only speak, sir! I cannot rest until I learn what has so changed you... Tell me of your dejection. Why, only a paltry thousand louis? said I, with a shrug. remoraes of Europe, and the scene story activity was transferred across hastic to the South American Coast. At the time of the invasion of Spain poison Boasparte, the colonies of the dum and of the Portuguese crown on the whale of that vast territory. The opposition to the French which thrashed in the Spanish throne incited in the Spanish nation in a spirit of loyalty to their country, later on developed into a political independence. The catholic and decisive point in this war of insurrection was reached in the battle of Aynapa, fought December 9, 1824. Of the events following the Napoleonic invasion of the Spanish throne up to this decisive battle was fought in by Mr. Knox to enable the reader to understand the value and effect to this colony of the victory achieved in these details. The scene is then shifted to Asia account is given of the battle of which practically described the fate Burmese Empire, up to that time "among Asian nations and a terrific neighbors." It was the beginning of the destruction of the kingdom governed dynasty of Almopra, which came to be by occupation, at the close of the Burmese War in 1895, of Manahalaya capture and deportation of King Pheebh Then comes description of the naval siege of Navarino in 1827, between these fleets of England, France and Russia ringing 1.324 guns, and the joint fleet of key and Egypt; carrying 2.240 guns gave Greece her freedom; and dealt Turkey's influence as a naval power. The siege and capture of Subtraim in 29 by Russia gave the Danulian prairie independence of the Turkish even if they have since been a thorough side of Europe, and Mr. Knox' account it is graphic and interesting. The author then gives us accounts under their occurrence of the battles It was not until his mind was relieved of this first care, and he could uninterruptedly form his plans for the future, that Otto thought of choosing a companion who might share with him the sweets of life, and assist him in combating its tools. He had left Adelaide, the youngest daughter of his neighbor Von Z., an interesting girl of 14; on his return he found her blooming in all the charms of youthful innocence. He therefore embraced an early opportunity to declare his sentiments; and after the preliminary usual on such occasions, the happy day was fixed, arrived and observed with all those ceremonies which the country people in some parts of Germany still religiously keep up. The lamps were highened and little and pipe were sounded, merely under the sweet scent of broken trees, when a foreign servant, whose coat was rather the worse for wear, made his appearance on the dancing place. His singular tones and strange gestation soon collected around him a troop of laughing villagers; but it was not without considerable difficulty gathered from the broken German of the orator whose hands and feet were equally eloquent with his tongue that his master's carriage had been overturned in the neighborhood, and that a wheel was broken to process, which he was anxious to have put to rights, in order that he might prosecute his journey. Who talks at mending wheels or going further to stay? hiccuped the bride's father, whose satisfaction at his daughter's good fortune had displayed itself at table in copious abstinctions. "To day," added he, putting his simple shoes, "I will wade go in shivers; no man shall pass this hour today; you may tell your master so, but stay, you may as well take me to him." The invitation was accepted with many thanks, and the stranger, having caused his Sancho to wrap the dist from off his hat and boots, put his billard to rights opened his suit, under which a sort of uniform in sheath peeped out. Thus prepared, he set himself in stitches, by the help of a stout crush stick; and it then further appeared that his left foot was also disabled, though there was something not ungraceful in its nuble. The reasoning to the laden place he requested to be introduced to the young sample, and after washing the bedgrain pay, he kissed the hand, with the air of an old bean, and whispered many flattering things to her in his own language. The stranger being unconscious, the stranger accompanied the rest to the eating apartment, where he met himself, with gimmable alertness, between two of the roostiest and plumiest insects in the room to the new amalgamation of a young human tenant who had lived on this place for himself. Hilarity and murmur now presided over the happy party; the good humour joke was bandled about, and the hearty laugh round the room; when one of the servants entered with a packet, which a messenger had just delivered, with directions that it should be given into the bridegroom's own hands. The curvature of all was excited, and Otto was induced by their solicitations to open the packet immediately; and after removing almost innumerable covers, he at length produced a plain wooden drinking cup, with a silver rim, on which was engraved: "Present no noses du Guena." James cried Otto kissing the ear with one word, in a tone of entreaty, and taking hold of the skint of my neck. I would not see him. Leave me, old man, said I, with forced compassure; "to day I have given all away." He guessed my meaning better than I intended he showed it. By all that she sacred, my dear young master, said he solemnly: 'confide in me. What has happened it?' What is that to these? I replied: 'thou cannot not help me.' Who knows? Only speak, sir: I cannot rest until I learn what has so changed you. Tell me the cause of your dejection. Why, only a paltry thousand joules! I wish a shag. And is that all? Good! I will lend them to you. The caricatures of his manner, the firmness with which he spoke and the self-confident that I could at any time carry my intention into effect, brought my thoughts into another channel, as influenced me to tell it to request. Jaques gave me his address in a remote suburb, and I pledged my word of honor to meet him there the same evening. Urgent by curiosity more than by home. I appeared at the appointed time and place and found Jaques in a small but extremely clean apartment, plainly but neatly furnished. He now wore a decent coat, and came forward to meet me with a friendly look. Consider all that you see here as your own, said he. "I have neither child nor relation, and why I daily receive from the household suffers for my housekeeper's wants." Help yourelf, sir, he said, smiling; there are about 1,200 hours. It is all that I have by me in really cash; but I soon can procure more. Do not mistake me; continued my honest Jaquess. "I am no common beggar, who drives the trails from love to illness, and cheats the needy of the charitable gift of the compassionate. I am of noble, though pure birth. Having lost my parents early, I entered the army in my sixteenth year, served under the great Saxe, and it worthy of such a leader let this testify: a cross of St. Luna lay on the heap of gold. In my twelveeth year a cannon shot carried away my right arm. I receive my discharge and was thrown on the world destitute and hopeless. Ignorant of any trade by which I can gain livelihood and rendered means of later by the loss of my arm. I abandoned myself to a pre-found instability, which throw me into a long and severe illness. When I recovered, my disappointed prospects, and a sort of state at work, my youth became unequal compared with I had expected; and I soon earned not only my daily subsistence but became enabled to live a trifamily which by little and little amounted to a considerable sum. You will be ashamed of me; continue Jaquess. "You are now uncomfortable; make me bigger happy by accepting his assistance." I will him to count out one thousand hours; and then requested pen and ink in order to give him an knowledge for the amount; but my honours for a worth not hear of Pis. "Take," said she, "as much as you require; and if you die, did you can pay my younger? I want but little here. You are not alone as soon as you will or not; and you at least cannot deprive me of the sweet satisfaction of being your father." I did not leave Jaquess' village at a late hour when I returned home with a lightened heart, and refreshing sleep once invited my eyes. Every one following day I raid off every creature had an interest with Jaquess, and prepared immediately to leave France. My first care on arriving here would most certainly have been to charge this, which I could truly repay me at parting not think of the trial after the end of a year, at worst, to give him. Joyce and Almapraa, which came to her occupation at the close of Burmese War in 1895, of Mandalay as capture and deportation of King Dheebhua. Then comes a description of the nature of Navarino in 1527, between these fleets of England, France and Russia; ingress of 1.324 guns, and joint fleets of key and Egypt; carrying 2.240 guns; gave Greece her freedom; and died Turkey's influence as a naval power. The wage and capture of Subtria in 29 by Russia gave the Danish princes their independence of the Turkish even if they have since been a thousand miles of Europe, and Mr Knox' accuse it is graphic and interesting. The author then gives us accounts of order of their occurrence of the battle too touch and fall of Algiers in 1830; gave the French a permanent footing Northern Africa; the capture of Anta which released the Belgians from a defile union with the Netherlands; the call of the city of Mexico, which was so far in glorious results to the United States battle of Gatakau in 1899; which supplied the Skies and gave the Panjab to thwart the capture of Malakoff and I by the allied forces at Schast-pelz closed the Crimean War; and stopped the time at least, on the unwarranted siege of Neypahm and Cawai which decided fate of Neypahm in India; the capture of the Paloh fort Peking; which opened Chinese trains and battle of Solferino; which ended the campaign inaugurated by Kerry and Italy against Austria; and made poised the accomplishment of a united Italy. Mr Knox enumerates as the decisive engagements in the Civil War an American naval duel between the Monitor and Merrimac; the battles of dettysburg Aberg Petersburg and Five Forks; sliding descriptions of which are presented; battle of Koeniggrata or Salowa detachment of the future German States and bay German Confederation under Prussian domination. Accounts are given of Gravelotte an Iran as their engagements which decided France German War and gave Alsace Lorraine to Germany. It is also shown the fall of Khartoum and the death Liberation from Germany. It is also shown the fall of Khartoum gave Turkistan to Pakistan on Turkish rule in Europe and Asia. The Turcomans were published by Ruiz capture of Greek Pepe; and central Asia with full of that strength under rule of Clerr. The volume closes with an account battle of El Oberei which reached an annihilation of Hicks Passa and has laid down the fall of Khartoum and the death Liberation from Germany as daily event but not work of conflagration—the growth of these important battles has been almost done military material is fully engaged but not fully interrupted by both events interesting and vital volume devoted to grim war. Mary Wheeler of Kentucky hanged herself because she found a few gray hair her head! Miss Susan La Fleche, the Ornashi Girl who is studying medicine; expires take practice from all medicine on the reservation. Haitian use of a complexion balm can cause violent eruption on young skin due to other day that she almost retreated to her own swelling. Queen Margaret of Italy has collected large Hebrew library with the latest edition on Jewish literature. She is remark prominent in Hebrews having bad eye Jewish instruction; and reads Old Testament with ease. TOWN OF ANAHEIM depot, and the same distinct, of 22 full lots 50x150 blocks in same proportion. is one of the oldest towns 500 population; has five large one building, and a man buy a block of 22 full staked off into lots, and range groves and Vineyards with this land: in six months, and oneton unpaid portion. For man or address any of the county, California. The surprise and curiosity on all sides may be easily conceived. All the guests rose from their seats except the stranger, who remained sitting with the most perfect indifference and an expression of constance that almost appeared to indicate contempt for what was going forward. Otto, whose growing dislike to the stranger was not leasened by this conduct, measured him with an eye of indignation, and all-welled himself the more readily to be persecuted by his bride and the other guests, to satisfy their injuries. Yes! he began, a fine glow suffusing his manly cheeks, "yes! I am not ashamed to own it; a beggar—Japan, is the worthy man's name—is my dearest friend; is to express all to you in a few words, the preserver of my life and honor. However painful it may be to me, on an occasion like the present, to accuse myself of a youthful indiscretion, yet I shall not heatte to do so, as I cannot otherwise, perhaps, do justice to the mis-minded Japan, whose marriage present shall always be dear to my heart, and the most valued ornament of my Adelaida. During my residence in Paris I was almost daily in the habit of pacing along the Pont Neuf. At one end of the bridge, and generally about the same spot, there sat a beggar, who though he seemed scarcely more than 50, had frequented the place upwards of 30 years, and was commonly known by the name of 'Oil Japan.' He always wished me every possible goal—chaired with me when I had leisure, about the news of the day—even warned me now and then against the dangers of the town. My time in Paris was spent very agreeably, and I may flatter myself, not altogether without advantage. I lived as dearly as my means permitted, but never DECISIVE BATTLE: SLICE WATERLOO Sir Edward Cressy wrote the history of the battles that decided the fate of the civilized world from Marathon to Waterloo, and now Thomas W. Knox, familiar as an author of books of travel and history for boys, submits to the reading pulsio as a supplement, a historical group of the decisive battles which have followed Waterloo That great struggle exhauled the fighting WEALTHY STUDENTS. Harvard Men who Spend $4,000 a Year. Young Hearest Spent $12,000 a Year—Luxurious Apartments. Correspondence X. Y. World. As a rule expenses are lighter at Harvard than at any other American college, and the opportunities for getting money are so numerous that it is really the poor man's college. The corporation alone distributes $70,000 in scholarships and loan funds, and any student of ability can get enough of this to pay his tuition, at least. An energetic man need not, however, depend on this. By tutoring undergraduates at $2 an hour, he for students have paid all their expenses. Setting type, reading proof, corresponding for newspapers, writing magazine articles, copying, keeping books and working in stores, offer money to the enterprising. Pumping wind for a church organ at $1 23 per Sunday is a remunerative if not an intellectual avocation for a few. The minimum expenditure for the college year is $400. This means the most rigid economy in everything, and not a cent for amusement. It leaves plenty of time for study, and on that account the poorest students are sometimes the best scholars. To persons who have only been in fair circumstances, $200 means the ordinary comforts of life, with a quarter for the contribution box on Sunday, but little or nothing for pleasure. The average allowance is about $800 per annum. With this a student can furnish his room neatly, give something to the college sports, and not punch himself. The usual grade is $1,200, on which a man can live. All children on duty must be in school at this and all other calls. Drill for an hour or more follows after a time fixed by the commanding officer. The curriculum of guard training takes place at a beach; fatigue training in order (the sick call which insurance and being of course, a call duty), when much men exist in this perform the necessary fatigue and police duty of the post. At 11 o'clock First Sergeant's call is suspended, when these functions require to be attended. All officers for the perfecting of the rules of the Borgnet Maple then await him to keep his rather correctly, and also to receive much information concerning their troops, battles, or companies. Dinner is at noon. At an hour designated by the Post Commander afternoon drill-call is sounded, when the troops exercise in such maneuvers as are prescribed. Dress parade usually takes place just before晨昏, and is no timed that retreat isounded just after the "troop brate off" during that ceremony. The flag is lowered at the first note of retreat. Suppose soon follow dine parade. Tatters roll call is at 9 o'clock, and type or lighten and half an hour later. While attendance at regular army, many of the most attentive service at those parts of which there are thirty-four—that have chaplains, and more observance is given to the day than was the case in former years. Men are detailed for guard duty with much frequency as the strength of the force at the post where they are stationed renders necessary. There are three rules of a prescribed number of men, with one Corporal to each relief and one Sergeant of the Guard. Two hours on one post and four hours off, during the four twenty-four hours, is the unwary routine. Each sentinel is instructed by the officer of the guard, who is Lieutenant, under authority of the 1st Officer of the Day. "To take charge of this post and all Government property in view; salute all officers according to rank; maintain his alarm the guard," and such other orders are deemed necessary. The order is given to the entry on No. 1. "To turn out the guard for all general officers, the commanding officer, the Officer of the Day, and for all armed parties." Any breach of discipline while on guard is an aggravation of... an intellectual avocation for a few. The minimum expenditure for the college year is $400. This means the most rigid economy in everything, and not a cent for amusement. It leaves plenty of time for study, and on that account the poorest students are sometimes the best scholars. To persons who have only been in fair circumstances, $200 means the ordinary comforts of life, with a quarter for the contribution box on Sunday, but little or nothing for pleasure. The average allowance is about $800 per annum. With this student can furnish his room neatly, give something to the college sports, and not punch himself. The weak grade is $1,200, on which a man can live very well, belong to several societies, and join in all the college amusements. All above $2,000 a year is apt to be thrown away, and may be prejudicial to a proper attendance at lectures. How far above the last estimate students go is largely a matter of conjecture. Freshmen love to tell tales about young men rich as Crossus, who spend $30,000 a year, but this is very far above the truth. Humor usually multiplies the actual sum by two or three, and of course the hero is not aware to morbidity, and says nothing to contradict the current talk. Young Heathat, an 36 man, son of the California Senator, has left a reputation that has hardly been equalled. He was an only son and his millionaire father did not limit his allowance, but $12,000 a year would be a reasonable estimate of his expenditures. This does not include the $5,000 spent in furnishing his apartments, which were the finest in the university. Of the class of 72 only one spent more than $4,000. This was H. R. A. Carey of New York, who enjoys the distinction of being the wealthiest young man at Harvard. Both his parents are dead and he is absolute master of a fortune which brings him an income of about $90,000 a year. Only a small part of this, however, is spent at the university. Among the Freshmen, who have heard so much about the exclusive habits of wealthy students, Mr. Carey is regarded as a shining example of men whom money does not spoil. He is not proud, and from his actions no one could tell that he is in more than ordinary circumstances. Mr. Carey has been here for two years as a special student, but will leave this winter to travel abroad. At present he occupies a suite of rooms in Beck Hall, pre-eminently the swell establishment for students. H. L. Morgan, junior class of Washington, is Mr. Carey's room mate. Their apartments consist of a study, two bedrooms and a bathroom. All that money can do hails down towards furnishing the rooms as beautifully as possible. The wainting is of oak, beautifully carved, and the thick Oriental rugs and heavy curtains are of the coolest material. The walls are hidden by paintings, watercolors, etchings and photographs of various societies. Variety crews, football, baseball, cricket and lacrosse teams, and other college organizations. Pictures of friends and prominent men and women are all about. Medals of several Greek letter societies, suspended by bright ribbons, show that the occupants of the rooms are not wanting in sociability. A little stand contains the delicate travesty which is used when Moors. Carey and Morgan give a 4-check tea, a general custom among the students. Choice bits of bone brace till the mantle and hanging shelves. Each student seems to have a hobby for collecting something, and in this case it is pipes. There are long Dutch pipes and short Irish ones: French brass wounds, humble corn cobes and meerkrauts in all dragons from the plain ones to the images of a fierce bear or a venerable derivish. Holden by a neat pair of cartons is a pair of chest weights, justifying that physical culture is not neglected. The book case stands in a corner, and contains about four hundred richly-bound books, mostly poetry. The bad comma is quite plainly furnished. Hall's annual fare in hand toll of all colors. There are three rules of a prescribed number of men, with one Corporal to each relief and one Nergent of the Guard. Two hours on one post and four hours off during the four twenty-four hours in the invading routine. Each sentimental instruction by the officer of the guard, who is Lieutenant under authority of the Officer of the Day, "to take charge of this post and all Government property in view; salute all officers according to rank; in case of fire alarm the guard," and such other duties as are deemed necessary are given. The order is given to the entry No. 1. To turn out the guard for all general officers, the commanding officer, the Officer of the Day, and for all armed parties. Any breach of discipline while on guard is an aggravation of the offense, and it follows the soldier to have his wits about him and to attend strictly to duty during his tour. Guard duty is like this reading of the Koran, an endless task. Our military posts are in many instances isolated communities in themselves, and in many respects as different from civilian settlements or villages as can well be imagined. There are post rehabs at which enlisted soldiers can sit, no discharged, pick up a fair common-school education at during one term of enlistment. The subject of compulsory education in the army has been exhaustively discussed of late, and no accustomed an officer as Hawk Major General James B. Fry has given it as his opinion that enlisted men should not be compelled against their wills to attend post schools. About ten years ago James A. Garfield and Robert Schenck, while serving on the Committee on Military Affairs in the House of Representatives, prepared a clause in the Revised Statutes, Section 1,231 which afterward became a law, and whichever is as follows: Schools shall be established at all posts; garrisons or permanent camps; at which enlisted men may be instructed in the common English branches of education; and especially in the history of the United States; and the Secretary of War may detail such officers and enlisted men as may be necessary to carry out this provision. School boards for soldiers are from half an hour after retreat until tattoo removal. The post schools are not at present kept up to the standard of excellence intended by the provisions of the law, and at many posts the letter of the law alone is observed. The men of the army have various ammunitions, which, however, vary much at different posts. Amateur theatreicals and musical performances are of frequent occurrence at some during the winter months. The post and the company libraries are sources of comfort to soldiers, and gymnastic exercises; field sports and athletic games serve to amuse them. Narbonne ship may be laid to have begun with the advent of the foreign team that came about fifteen years ago. Such development of sharp shooting as followed as they know known until now. Markham and sharpenbush predominate in the ranks of the army. The practical skills of a soldier and the techs of studies necessary to a thorough knowledge of his duties are far greater and more exhaustive than is generally understood. The citizen soldier has little idea of these things as a rule, and the civilians with rare exceptions none at all. How many can tell the thickness of her new hair to bear savage artillery or infantry? How many know of what a soldier's ration consists and the thousand and one things as pertinent as these in times of active service? The uniformed unit of the United States ost numbers the army four to one if it were as well disciplined it would be an effective force; but the elective system prescribes anything like true discipline among the so-called National Guard. What it does excel in is material for good soldiers with proper training. Of course there are many real soldiers to whom this is not meant to apply. St. Helena is to have a Board of Trade, General Miles moves about on crutches. TO AN EAGLE The gun has set, the landmark in the purple fields of marry night, the sky is clear and blue, the day is bright and sunny. The strong breath of the air is crisp and refreshing, the vamps and quarters of a sun to match the dress. These are rich, especially when fixed with a little stand contains the delicate travertine which is used when Moorra. Carey and Morgan give a 4-inch tea, a general cup among the students. Choice bits of bone brace fill the mantle and hang shelves. Each student seems to have a hobby for collecting something, and in this case it is pipes. There are long Dutch pipes and short Irish ones; French linen wools, humble corn cobes and meerkraums in all designs, from the plain ones to the images of a fierce bear or a venerable dervish. Hollen by a neat pair of cartons is a pair of chest weights, indicating that physical culture is not neglected. The book case stands in a corner, and contains about four hundred richly-bound books, mostly poetry. The bad coats are quite plainly furnished. Hall has hundred four in hand ties of all colors and textures hang on a string on the door, and in this particular at least Mr. Carey cannot complain of nothing to wear.
