Minnie, Irving, in The Manhattan. a TERRIBLE REVENGE. It was on the ere of the battle of Solferino. The French regiments, which had arrived from Milan during the day. by long and dusty roads, under a broiling sun, exhausted by fatigue, were encamped on an immense plain, shut in by a chain of hills, on which towered the white houses of the town. Lightning, plajirjg among the leaden colored clouds, illuminated, at intervals with lurid light the battlefield of the morrow. Nothing else lit up the camp. No fires were allowed, as a measure of prudence. All wcro uot asleep, however. Be sides the outposts and pickets, many in camp were wide awake. Here and there groups of men, lyiug on the grass around their tents, conversed in a low tone and discussed the probable issue of the coming battle. In the middle of a small group of officers, who talked over the chances of the morrow, was Colonel Eugene do Valniout, who commanded a regiment of light dragoons. He had the well earned reputation of being one of the most splendid officers in his own branch of the service. Although a strict disci plinarian, he was beloved in the regi ment by officers and men alike, and deservedly so. Colonel do Valmont appeared to pay but little attention to what was said. He seemed in a proud reverie, as he bit, rather than smoked, a half con sumed cigar. Turning suddenly to his Surgeon Major, a veteran with a well bronzed face, he said : "Brisac, do vou believe in presenti ments?" "It depends, Colonel. One may have them, no doubt; but to admit that they are ever realized is another matter." You look upon them as valueless, devoid of any prophetic importance?" "Quite so." "Ah! It is true, as is said, that all you doctors are more or less material ists." After a pause, he added: "You are right, perhaps, and so much the better. There are some thoughts which should be banished on the eve of a day like what to-morrow promises to be." So saying he got up and added: "I shall turn in arm get some rest and ad vise you all to do the same. In a few hours we shall need all the strength we can command." One by one the group broke off and presently there was left only three offi cers the Major, a Captain, and a sub-Lieutenant. "What did the Colonel mean by pre sentiments?" asked the younger of them. "We know he has no fear about to-morrow; yet his manner and his last words, to say the least, are not reassur ing." 'Had you been longer in the regi ment, young fellow," replied the Major, you would know that the Colonel pe riodically gets 'the blues;1 but we take no notice of them. They soon pass, and he becomes himself again." "But what is the cause of his recur ring depression?" The cause?" said the Captain. Why, all the regiment know the causa." "Except in3'self. I only joined three months ago." "Well, nere is Brisac back from his rounds. He can tell the story best." The Surgeon-Major being appealed to, lay down upon the grass.'lit a cigar, and said: " In 1834, Do Valmont, appointed Lieutenant in the Chasseurs d'Afrique, which had just been raised, landed in Algiers, where I was assistant surgeon attached to the military hospital. Though I was older than he, we soon struck up an acquaintance that ripened into friendship, which time has not im- aired. Eugene was young, good ooking and a man of fascinating man ners. He came of a distinguished fam ilv, and his friends kept 'his purse well filled; in short he could get money as fast as he wished to spend it, We served three years together, when De Valmont got leave to exchange and return to France. His mother was the cause of this, for she had in view for him a marriage with a rich heiress. Leaving Algiers would have been all plsin sailing except for bidding 'fare well' to a certain lady called La Sever ina, a danseuse at the theater. In ap pearance she was decidedly handsome, of an olive-colored complexion and with raven black hair. In her large ex pressive eyes and in her firmly cut mouth there was a significant indica tion of determination which suggested that the young lady would be more de sirable as a friend than as an enemy. She said she was an Italian, .having been born at Rome; but her parents were Bohemians, who traveled through all countries rope-dancers by profes sion. La Severina had conceived for cugene a passion as violent as it was hopeless. When she heard of his pro posed departure 6he was wild; when she learned the motive of it, she turned a demon. Failing, in a determined at tempt to baulk his plans by stabbing him with a stiletto, she assured him with her last words that she would be revenged. Do Valmont laughed at the threat. I, however, determined to keep an eye on the actions of the young lady. In this resolve, however, I was foiled. She left Algiers about a month after, and I never know what became of her. 'Nearly four years had passed since Eugene's 'return. We kept up a constant correspondence, ana I learned of his marriage and the birth of one son, whom he called Lucien. He con tinually pressed me to exchange and go back to France. At length I got appointed to a cavalry regiment quartered in Paris, aad left Algiers to take on my new duties. Landing at Marseilles, I put Hp at the Hotel Castellane, where the first Barnes I read in the list of arrivals were those of the Count and CoaBtess de Valmont We met with joy after oar loar separatioa. Eugene intro duced me to his wife a lady as lovely as she was charming aad showed aae with pride his son a ftiie. canopy afcild, with curly hair, and tPati worshipped this boy poor follow! and his life and soul seemed wrapped up in its beina? and existence. And now, as to the sad sequel to my tale. " 'De Valmont was on leave, and at bis wife's desire they were abouttovisit Italy. Not to fatigue the child their route was mapped out in short stages. They were resting two days at Mar aeilles before going to Genoa by LaCor aieae, se I decided to stay and see them oft " 'la the afternoon of my arrival, as the weather was glorious, Utile Lucien was sent with his nurse down to the sea, on that magnificent beach where the splendid palace of Prado stands. Two hours after this nurse returned alone, looking like a mad woman. The eyes were starting out of her head, and, ! sobbing and crying, she threw heriself at the Countess's feet, and said she had lost the child. She and her charge were playing on the beach, where they were attracted by the performance of some acrobats. A small crowd had assembled, and the boy was not out of her sight for half a minute. On looking rouadne was gone; and she sought him in vain. He seemed to have been spirited away. She called his name at the top of her voice, and ran up and down the beach until exhausted. By standers who heard her cries helped her in the search; but they found nothing." "Was Lucien drowned?" asked tbo Sub-Lieutenant. "This was the question started, but it was well-nigh impossible. The child could only toddle, and the seas was too far from the place indicated by tho nurse. So this hypothesis was given ud. The police considered it a case of kidnapping and went to work, but tailed to find a clue. They searched for weeks through all the slums of the city the low quarters where the dregs of the population congregate, the scum of the Mediterranean but with no suc cess. A description of the child was sent to every consul, with orders to make full inquiry. De Valmont him self obtained special leave of absence from the War Office and spent a year in trying to solve the mystery. He re turned more dead than alive to bury his wife, whom grief had killed. "As to the Colonel, at first he had serious intentions of joining tho Trap- Eists and retiring from the world. But ope sustains him still. He believes, if his boy was not drowned, that Provi dence will take pity on him and yet re store him. Vain delusion! But we humor him in his hope. Ho has since devoted his whole life and soul to his regiment; but tho wound at his heart has never healed, and when it breaks out afresh he becomes sad and sor rowful and talks about presentiment. "La Severina, I believe, has kept her word and wreaked a terrible revenge!" Brisac finished his story and wished all good night. "We have six hours for sleep, my boys, and then !" On the morrow, at the early hour of six o'clock, a double line of smoke ex tended for a distance of two miles on each side of the plain. The French had brought almost all their guns into action. Tho Austrian batteries posted on the opposite hills replied with a well directed lire. In this artillery duel, which lasted for some hours, the ad vantage remained with the French. The superiority of the Austrian position was more than counterbalanced by the deadly effect of the rifio guns of tho French, which wero first employed in warfare at the memorable battle of Sol feriuo. The carnage was frightful and the result disastrous to the Austrians, who were obliged to retreat At three o'clock on that day 23d June, 1850 tho French were formed up to advance under a withering mus ketry fire to assault the Tower of Sol ferino, the key of the cnomy's position. Marshal Benedeck then called on his cavalry to make a supreme effort, which, had it been successful, would have changed the fortunes of the day. The Austrian cavalry wero massed be hind a fringe of wood which effectually concealed their movements from the French. Suddenly they were seen to emerge from their shelter and to pre pare lor a determined charge, to take in flank those battalions which had al ready reached the slopes of the hills. General Niel saw the danger, and im mediately hurled against them the Mar Sierite division of cavalry, in which e Valmont1 s Light Dragoons charged in'the first line. The shock was terrific! The ele ments contributed to swell the frightful storm of war. Peals of thunder bel lowed forth and vivid lightning played over the ghastly sight beneath. It was after the delivery of the charge "home" that Colonel de Valmont sud denly saw rise before him about a doz en hussars, in white, of tho Archduke Albrecht's regiment Led by a young Lieutenant with fair hair and a budding mustache, they sabred the French drajroous with maniacal fury, making their way through them like a cannon ball. With one' bound of his horso the Lieutenant was at the Colonel. De Valmont saw his sabre flash as he raised it to cut him down. He had only time to pull the trigger of his pistol and the Austrian fell, killed by a bullet in the forehead. At the end of the engagement Colonel de Valmont, returning to camp, passed over the scene of the conflict The body of the Lieutenant still lay there on its back. A thin trickle of blood marked the spot of the bullet-wound. The face of the young officer was as calmand placid as a child asleep. De Valmont gazed at him with profound emotion. A few yards off somo dis mounted men were guarding Austrian prisoners, among whom was an officer of Albrecht's Hussars. Pointing to the dead body the Colonel asked: "Sir, can you tell me the name of that brave fellow " "Karl Gottfried," was the answer. One month after the peace of Villa franca, Eugene de Valmont returned to Paris with the army of Italy, where he found the following letter awaiting his arrival: Milan. 6th August, 1858. Mr Dear Old Friend: You know that I am still at the Military Hospital here where I shall remain until all our wounded are re mored. They brought In the other day aer cral marauders caught by our men riding the dead, and on somo of them who tried to escape they fired. Among them was an old woman disguised as a man. A bed was found for ber, as she was on the point of death. I offered my services to dress her wound, and judge of my amazement when I heard her amy: You don't remember me. Dr. Brisac. I am La Severina." Under the withered features of the woman I recognized your former acquaintance in Algiers. By what series of misfortunes she came to be a despoller of the dead I shall not attempt to explain. Enough to know that before dying she allowed the priest to communicate a part of her confession, and, as I have for long thought, she it was who stole Lucien at- Mar seilles. After a host of adventures, which I shall tell you later on. poverty compelled her to abandon the child at Vienna. She left it to the charity of tho landlord where she lodged No.20Uo6enstr.isse and never heard of the boy after. This address will give you some trace. Apply at once to the Austrian Em bassy. Tout a tot. Biusac. Mad with ioy, the Colonel ran to the Embassy and explained the object of his mission. For a fortnight after, which seemed to him a lifetime, he lived in a "ever of suspense, and was going to bed obo night when his valet ronght him an official letter, with a large red seal bearing the Austro-Hua-ganan arms. He read as follows: MOX81KDB u Comtk: I am instructed by the Minister for Foreiga Aflalrs to inform yoa, in answer to your Inquiries, that the child abandoned in Vienna, at the ad arses tree, ea the 30th September, list, was adopted by a benevolent geattesasa.

Oa hour afterward the relet entered the Colonel's room. ao4 fooad him sk- white. His eyes, dilated and immov able, were fixed upon the fatal letter. The servant touched him lightly on .the shoulder, and his master dropped motionless on the floor. He was dead. London Society. , . .- The First Ice-Palace. In the construction of this work, built by the Empress Anna Ivanovna, on the Neva, 1739, the 'simplest means were used. First, the purest ana most trans- tarent ice was selected. This was cut nto large blocks, squared with rule and compass, and carved with all the regular architectural embellishments. No cement was used. Each blo k when ready was raised to its destined place by cranes and pulleys, and just before it was let down upon the block which was to support it water was po:ired between the two; the upper block was immediately lowered, and as' tho water froze almost instantly, in that intensely cold climate, the two blocks became literally one. In fact, the whole build ing appeared to be, and really win. a single mass of ice. The e:lect it pro duced must have been infinitely more beautiful than if it had been of the most costly marble its transparency and bluish tint giving it rather the appear ance of a precious stone. In dimensions, the structure was fifty si feet long, eighteen feet wide, twenty ouc feet high, and with walls three feet, in thickness. At each corner of the palace was a pyramid of the saruo height as the roof, of course built of ice, and around the whole was a low pal isade of the same material. The actual leugth of the front view, including the pyramids, was one nunarca ana iout tecn feet Tho palace was built in the usual style of Russian architecture. Tho facade was plain, being merely divided into compartments by pilasters. There was a window in each division, which was painted in imitation of green mar ble. Tho window-panes were formed ot slabs of ice, as transparent and smooth as sheets of plate-glass. At night when the palace was lighted, the windows were curtained by canvas screens, on which grotesque figures were painted. Owing to the trans parency of the whole material, tho general cfl'cct of the illumination must have been line, the whole palace seem ingly being filled with a delicate pearl v light The central division projected, and appeared to be a door, but was in fact, a large window, and was illumina ted like Aie others. Surmounting tho facade of the building was an orna mental balustrade, and at each end of the sloping roof was a huge chimney. The entrance was at the rear. At each side of the door stood ice-imitations of orange-trees, in leaf and flower, with ice-birds perched on the branches. M. Maria Qeorge, in St. Nicholas. Antlers for Ornaments. "Where do you get such big deer antlers as those?" said a young man to a black-eyed, curly-banged girl in a taxidermist's store in Williams Stree'. He referred to a pile on tho walk. The girl dropped a crow blackbird, which she was flaying, and said: "Those deer horns grew on elks in Montana. They are not very largo if compared with others." Tbo young man was directed to an adjoining room. A red-mouthed polar bear, with paws wido apart, greeted him on one side as he opened the door, and a leopard, with arched back and knotted muscles, seemed to snarl at him on the other. Overhead, hanging from a tangled mass of whitened horns, and on every side of the room, there was a throng of monkeys, squir rels, birds and animals of a huudred varieties, all in attitudes which looked as if the old baboon in the corner, witii his fingers to his lips, had checked them in the midst of a wild carousal on the entry of a stranger. "Horns are just now very fashion able. Such things vary from year to year. Last December we sold a hundred pairs of antlers," said tho girl. "How much did you get a pair?" "From three dollars for a pair of small Virginia deer-antlers to thirty dollars for a five-foot spread of elk's, and forty dollars for a pair of magnifi cent moose shovel horns." "Did that include the stuffed head?" "No. Mounted head and all. moose or elk horns bring sixty dollars and seventy-five dollars. Those animals are dying out very rapidly." "What is the very latest thing in the line of wall ornaments?" "A wild boar's head. We have just received a barrel full of tho skins. When properly mounted they look de lightfully vicious, and sell for thirty dollars." "KeeDS the Dronrietor nrettv bnsv to supply the trade, doesn't it?" said the young man, hearing work upstairs. "Yes. He employs eighteen hands besides me." "And what can you do?" "I can flay more than 400 birds aday for use as hat ornaments." "Are the wages high?" "As high as the skill of the operator. The men who can show the muscles of an animal and place it in striking and natural positions get from fifty dollars to sixty dollars a month." N. Y. Sun. Why Eyes Shine. Place a child (because the pupils of children are large), and by preference a blonde, at a distance of ten or fifteen feet from a lamp which is the only source of light in a room, and cause it to look at some object in tho direction of the lamp, turning the eye you wish to look at slightly inward toward the nose. Now, put your own eye close behind the lamp-flame, with a card be tween it and the flame. If you will then look close by the edge of the flame covered by the card into the eye of the child, you will see, instead of a perfectly black pupil, a reddish-yellow circle. If the eye happens to be hypermetropic, you will be able to see the red reflex when your own eye is at some distance to one side of the flame. This is the true explanation of tho luminous appearance of the eyes of some animals when they are in com parative obscurity. It is simply the light reflected from the bottom of their eyes, which is generally of a reddish tinge on account of the red blood in the vascular layer of the choroid back of the semi-transparent retina, and not light that is generated -there at all. This reflection is most apparent when the animal is in obscurity, but the ob server must be in the light, and some what in the relative position indicated in the above-described experiment that is, the eye of the observer must be on the same line with tho light and the observed eye. The eyes of nearly all animals are hypermetropic, most of them very highly so, so that they send out the rays of light which have en tered them in a very diverging manner. Swan M.

The legal obligation of the partfes occupying adjoining lauds, to maintain partition fences where no prescription exists, and no agreement has been made, rests on the statute. The law relative to division fences is: 1. The tenant of a close at common law wa-? not obliged to fouce against an adjoining close unless by prescription or agreement 2. But if obliged to fence under one or the other, he was only bound to fence against such cattle as were right fully in the adjoining close. 3. If not required to fence against adjoining land, he was nevertheless I bouud to keep his cattle on his own ' land. It may piove beneficial to re'er brief y to what will constitute "a fen e." sinea it frequently becomes of pr i-tieal im- I portance to know. Cf course hat the farmer chooses to erect on his own land, can in no way be regulated by law, ua- . less, perhaps it be a- nuisance, in uring other people as well as. him-clf. He may buiid what manner of fence ho chooses, or none at al1. Iron, stono, brush, stump, rail, wire, board or a combination of anv or of all of tIn,co materials, commonly employed in build- j ing fences, may be used without viu- . latinjj law. !m it onlv becomes not us- sary to consider the law i.i it sppiR-a-cation to fenros di-. idiug lands owned by different partie-. A ditch will sometimes he considered a fence, as far as boundary lines aro concerned. It cannot of coarse be re garded a fence that will protect the owner's land from trespassers, except, perhaps under certain conditions when it is vesy deep or very wide. We" shall, however, regard it as a common fence, bounding adjoining estates. If an owner of land construct a ditch through it and afterward sell a portion of tho land bounding tho part sold on tho ditch, the granteo will take to the center of the ditch. The ditch. will here bo regarded a fence in the absence of any agreement between the parties, and must bo governed by tho same rules governing the repairing aud erection of fences. Like fences, it must bo kept in condition by either of the parties, pie serving its width, however. If one construct a ditch between two estates, he must exercise care to keep on his own land, for he cannot lawful ly cut into his neighbor's soil without his permission, ami he i-; also obliged to throw the soil which lie digs out upon his own land. The same rule applies to ditches as to fences. If not required to be done it must be erected on his own land. A hedge may also constitute a good fence; in general, it belongs lo the oc cupier who has been accustomed to trim and repair it, and proof of such act will ho prima faciei evidence of prop erty in tho hedge. If tho adjoining owners bo tenants in common of tho hedge, each has a right to clip and keep it in repair, but neither can grub jt up. In the Western States, because of the scarcity of wood, feuces are frequently constructed by planting young shoots which in timo become sufficient to turn sto.'k, and oftentimes become so dense as to prevent fowls from entering the enclosed tract. These fences are specially sanctioned by law, but in the East it might be questioned whether they would bo or not In New York it has been decided that inasmuch as zigzag or rail fences have been used time out of mind, they arc legal fences, and also that they may occupy as much land as is necessary each side of tho strictly mathematical boundary Hue. Such a fence in contemplation of law is a fence upon the boundary line between the adjoining farms, and one half may be properly placed upon the land of each owner. Usually the statute declares what shall be considered a sufficient fence, by specifyiug the material of which it shall be constructed and of what height it shall be. It is impossible, in brief space, to give anything more than an instance. Thus, in Michigan, it must be four and a half feet high, consisting of rails, timber, boards or stone walls, or any combination thereof, or what ever shall be considered sufficient in the option of the fence-viewers. Any structure, in the words of the Indiana statute, used for the purpose of in closure, and as such as shall, on the testimony of skillful men, appear to be sufficient shall be deemed a lawful fence. In some States it need only meet the approval of the fence-viewers, who are appointed, aud whoso'duty it is to examine and decide whether fences meet with the requirements of the law. The object of fencing is to provide against damage caused by domestic an imals properly restraiuable by a com mon fence. The owner of land en closed by a fence is not obliged to pro vide against the entrance of animals so small that they may pass through or under an ordinary fence, nor against such wild animals as would break through an ordinary fence. U an ani mal break through a sufficient fence, and trespasses on another's land, the owner is liable for the damage done. It was decided in Missouri that when a 'buffalo bull breaks through a fenre, tho owner of the land might kill him to protect his property from dcstiuction, although the fence was not built in strict accordance with the requirements of the statute. But this was the case of a wild animal. It is not ordinarily law ful to kill animate which are trespass ing on one's land. At most the owner of the land can only drive them oft' or impound them. Only by statute can the owner of cats and dogs be mado liable for tresspasses committed by them. Where there is neglect to build a fence where one is required, the party so neglecting will be liable for any in jury occurring in consequence of his negligence. The rule is analogous to the one requiring an open and danger ous culvert or pit near the public high way to be fenced, if it be at all likely that passers-by will be liable to fall in and be injifred. Unless this is done, .the person opening the pit may be sub jected to heavy damages. Addison O. McKean, in Country Gentleman. ' They Shook, At Toledo a sharp-looking young man boarded the Detroit-bound train, and after looking over the passengers in one of the coaches he took a seat be side a traveler-with a face as honest as a four-dollar bill. Just as the train was about to start the young man suddenly said: "My friend, I am on my way to De troit to see my mother die." "Eh! that's too bad." "I haven't got any money with me, but I'll give you my watch for security if you'll lend mo twenty dollars until we reach Detroit" "Let's see toe ticker." The watch was a galvanized affair, worth about fifty cents per pound. The man with the four-dollar-face examined it shook it and put it in his pocket Then he slowly drew a twenty-dollar bill from his vest pocket and banded it ovefto the young man. The latter simply 5 lanced at it and then the two smiled, 'hen they shook hands. Then the watch ana the bill changed back. The watch was a dead swindle anal the bill a counterfeit, and both belonged to the "profesh."
