For many a year there was a touching ami beautiful custom to be witnessed iu a certain regiment of French Grenadiers, and which meant to commemorate tho heroism of a departed comrade. When the companies assembled for pa rade, and the roll was called, there was one name to which its owner could not answer—it was that of La Tour D’Au vergne. When it was called, tho oldest sergeant present stepped a pace forward, and rais ing his hand to his cap, said, proudly: ‘ 1 Died on the field of honor.” For fourteen years thiscustom was con tinued, and only ceased when the restored Bourbons, to please their foreign masters, forbade everything that was calculated to preserve the spirits of tho soldiers of France. La Tour D’Auvergne was notunworthy in life the honor thus paid him after his death. He was educated for the army, entered iu 1767, and in 1781 served under the Duke de Crillion at tho siege of Port Mahon. Ho served always with distinc tion, but constantly refused offers of pro motion, saying that he was only fit for the command of a company of grenadiers; but finally, the various grenadier compa nies being united, he found himself in commmand of a body of 8,000 men, while retaining only tho ranker Captain. Hence he was known as tho First Grena dier of France. But it is of one particular exploits of his that we wish to write, more than his ca reer in general. When ho was fortyyearsof age he went on a visit to a friend, not far, from a sec tion of the country that was soon to he the scene of a campaign. While there he was busy in acquainting himself with the features of tho country, thinking it not unlikely that this knowledge might be of use to him, and while hero the brave grenadier was astonished to learn that the war had been rapidly shifted to this quarter, and that a regiment of Austirans was pushing on to occupy a narrow pass about ten miles from where he was stay ing, and the possession of which would give them an opportunity to prevent an important movementof the French which was then on foot. They hoped to surprise this post, aud were moving so rapidly upon it that they were not more than two hours distant from the place where he was staying, and which they would have to pass in their march. It matters not how he heard tile news. It is sufficient to say that he de termined at ouce to act upon it. . He had no idea of being captured by the enemy in their advance, and he at once set off for the pass. He knew that the pass whs defended by a stout tower, and a garrison of 80 men, and he hoped to be able to warn the men of their danger. He hastened on, and arriving there, found the tower in a perfect condition.— It had just been vacated by the garrison, who had heard of the approach of the Austrians, and had been seized with a panic threat and had fled, leaving their arms, consisting of thirty excellent mus kets. H. S. RITTER. La Tour D'Auvergne gnashed his teeth with rage as ho discovered this. Search ing in the building ho found several box es of ammunition which the cowards had not destroyed. For a moment he was in despair but then with a grim smile he be gan to fasten the main door and pile against it such articles as ho could find. When he had done this he loaded all the guns he could find, and placed them, together with a good supply of ammu nition under the loop holes that comman ded the road by which the enemy must advance. Then he ate heartily of the provisions which he had brought with him, and sat down to wait. He absolutely formed the heroic resolution to defend the tower • alone against the enemy. There was something in his favor in such an undertaking.. The pass was steep an narrow: and the enemy’s troops could .enter it only in double flies, and in doing this would be fully exposed to the fire from the tower. The original garrison of thirty men could easily have held it against a.division, and now one man was about to hold it against a regiment. It was dark when La Tour D.’Auvergne reached the tower, and he had to wait some time for the enemy. They were longer in coming than he expected, and for a while ho was tempted to believe they had abandoned the expedition. About midnight, however, his prac ticed ear caught the tramp of feet. Ev ery moment the sound came nearer, and at last he heard them entering the defile. Immediately he discharged .a» couple of muskets into the darkness to let them know that ho knew of their presence and intentions, and he heard the quick, short commands of the officers, and, from the sounds, he supposed that the troops were retiring from the pass. Until the morn ing ho was undisturbed. The Austrian commander, feeling assured that the gar rison had been informed of his move ments, and was prepared to receive him, saw that he could not surprise the post as he had supposed to do, and deemed it grudent to wait until daylight before ma- Ing his attack. At sunrise he summoned the garrison to surrender.. A grenadier answered the summons. GILT FRAMES. “ Say, to your commander,” he said, in reply to the messenger, “ that this garri son will defend this post to the last ex tremity.” The officer who had borne the flag of truce retired, and in about ten minutes a piece of artillery was brought into the pass and opened on the tower. But to effect this the piece had to be placed di rectly in front of the town, and within easy musket range of It. They had scarce ly got the gun into 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 discharge, with a loss of five men. This was a bad 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 nad passed over half the distance they had to traverse, they had lost fifteen men. Disheartened by this, they returned to the mouth of 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, the Austrian comman der had noticed this peculiarity about it —every shot seemed to come from the same place. For awhile 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 construct ed as to command the ravine perfectly. At sunset the last assault was made and repulsed, and at dark the Austrian com mander sent a second summons to the garrison. This time the answer was favorable. — The garrison offered to surrender at sun rise the next morning, if allowed to march out"with their arms and return to the ar my unmolested. After some hesitation the terms were accepted. Meantime, La Tour D’Auvergne had passed an anxious day in the tower. He had opened the fight with an armament lolighted with it, the U TOUR »’AUVERGNE of thirty loaded muskets, but had not been able to discharge them all. He had fired with surprising rapidity but witli surpris ing accuracy, for it was well known in tho army that ho never throw away a shot.— He had determined to stand to his post until ho had accomplished his end, which was to hold tho place twenty-four hours, in order to allow tho French army time to complete its manoeuvre. After that, ho knew the pass would bo of no conse quence to the enemy. When tho demand for a surrender came to him after the last assault, ho consented to it upon the conditions named. The next day at sunrise the Austrian troops lined the pass in two files, extend ing from the Tiiouth to the tower, leaving a space between for tho garrison to pass out. The heavy door of tho tower opened slowly, and iu a few minutes a bronzed and scarred grenadier, literally loaded down with muskets, came out and passed down.the line of troops. Ho walked with difficulty under his heavy load. To the surprise of the Austrians, uoone followed him from tho tower. ' In astonishment the Austrian Colonel rode up to him, and asked him in French wliy the garrison, did not como out. “I am the garrison, Colonel 1 " said tho soldier, proudly. “What!” exclaimed tho Colonel, “do you mean to tell us 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 Franco was at stake.” The Colotel gazed at him fora moment with undisguised admiration; then, rais ing his cap, fie said warmly: 11 Grenadier, I salute you. You have proved yourself tho bravest of tho brave.” The officer caused all tho arms which La Tour D’Auvorgno oould not carry to he collected, and sent them all, with the grenadier, into the French lines, with a note relating the whole affair. When the knowledge of it came to the ears of Napoleon, he offered to promote La Tour D’Auvergne, but the latter de clined to accept the promotion, saying that ho preferred to remain whore lie was. This brave soldier met his death in an action at Aberhauson, in June, 1880, and the simple but expressive scene at roll call in his regiment was commenced and continued by the express command of tho Emperor himself. OUR FIGHTING EDITOR. The “John Bull” newspaper, a highly prised weekly, while edited by Theodore Hook, frequently indulged in offensive personalities, in 'remarking on the eon ductand character of publiemen. A mili tary hero, who would persist in placing himself couspiciously before the world's gaze, received a copious share of what he considered malignant and libellious abuse in the columns of the said " Bull,” His soldier’s spirit resolved on revenge. An officer and a gentlemen could not de mean himself by calling on a hireling scribbler for satisfaction! No, he would horsewhip the miscreant in his own don— the Bull should bo taken by the horns ! Donning hisuniform and arming himself with a huge whip, he called at the office of the paper, and, scarcely concealing his agitation, inquired for tho editor. Ho was invited by the clerk to take a seat in the inner room! ho complied, and was kept in waiting, while the clerk, who re cognized tho visitor ran up stairs aud in formed the editorialresponsibilitieaof his name and evident purposes. After an aggravatingdelay, which served consider ably to increase the ill-temper of tho offi cer, tho door opened, and a course, rough looking man, over six feet in height, with a proportionate breadth of shoulder, and armed with a bludgeon, entered the room. Walking up to tho surprised and angry visitor, ho said in a voice of thunder, “Are you the chap as wants to see me ?" “ You ? No. I wish to see tho editor of tho paper.” “ That's mo. lam the worry man.” “ There must be some mistake.” “ Not a morsel! I'm the head-hitter of this Bull,” said the follow, bringing tho nobbed end of his bludgeon within fear ful proximity to tho officers caput. “You the editor? Impossible!” “Do you mean to say I am telling a lie?” roared tho ruffian, ns he again raised his knotty argument. “Certainly not—by no means!” said tire officer, rapidly cooling down, and dropping the horse-whip and his wrath at the same time. “ Worry well, then what arc you want ing wi’ me ?” 1 ‘ A mistake, my dear sir j all a mistake. I expected to meet another person. I’ll call againand the valiant complainant backed toward the door, bowing politely to the brawn before the,door. “And don’t Jet me ketch you coming again without knowing exactly what you want and who you want. We're always ready here for allsorts of customers ; army or navy; civil or military—horse, foot and dragoons.” The officer retired, resolved to undergo auothergoring by the Bull before he again ventured to encounter the herculean pro portions of the fighting editor.

VOL. 53.—N0. 21 MARRIED THE WRONG WOMAN. The following good story is told of an Austrian General who fell in love with a fair Venetian lady: In spite of the Inveterate on the part of the Venetians, it sometimes happens thatsomooftho dark-eyed daugh ters of Vonetia revenge the humiliation of their country by vanquishing tho heart of a blue-eyed German, who des pite tho opposition of tho fair Italian’s friends, becomes the life-long slave of his charmer. But marriages of this kind are exceedingly rare; for the Venetian wo men, to do them justice, have always felt and resented tho insult and degradation to their country in Its subjection to tho stranger, even more keenly than tho men. Still, as we have observed, there are in stances of Austrian officers marrying Ve netian ladles; for Love, who rules the “ court, tho camp, and tho grove,” is not always a respecter of patriotic feelings.— His arrows fly past the lines which states men and diplomatists have thrown to mark the boundaries of nations, and ■ transfix hearts, whose sole means of com .munlcation is the “ language of the eyes,” into eternal unison. One of these Austro-Venetian marria ges which made considerable noise both in Venice and Vienna, was between Gen eral Gablentz, a grim veteran of some fif ty years of age,, and Signora Morisini, the sole daughter of the Signor Morisini, one of the wealthiest of the merchant princes of Venice. The General, who was not'supposed to bo a marrying man, was one day, in tho autumn of last year, taking a leisurely stroll through the Giardino Publico, or Public Promenade. The General was ac companied by a young subaltern, for whom he had evinced a great liking. ■ All at once the attention of the veteran was attracted by a remarkably stately and graceful lady walking in advance of them. “Mein Gott!” said tho General, in a loud, harsh tone of voice, “ but that is a beautiful figure of a woman.” The abrupt loudness of the voice in ; which this was spoken caused tho ob ject of tho General’s eulogy to turn sud denly round, when a wave of wind blew aside her veil, and revealed a face of the most perfect symmetry, lighted up with a pair of eyes—“ large dark eyes, which flash upon you a volley of rays, which seem to say a thousand things at once,” and which certainly discharged upon a well seasoned veteran a fire which moved and melted him more than the fire of musketry or artillery to which ho had been exposed in, the whole course of his military life. There and then old Gablentz owned himself completely vanquished. Tho next step was to prevail upon his ensla ver or her guardian to accept tho homage of the heart and hand duo to her victory. Now, at the time, the General was a perfect stranger to tho lady. He had never cast his eyes upon her before that instant. Ho did not know her name, where she lived, or to whom she belong ed. Clearly, then, the first step towards the accomplishment of his object wag to make himself acquainted with these. The General, therefore, requested his young friend, as the greatest favor he could confer upon him, to dog the foot steps of the lady, and, if possible discov er her name and abode, with as much more kindred information as ho could make himself master of. The young officer faithfully executed his commission. Without letting his movements bo perceived by the object of his pursuit, he traced her along the Grand Canal, in a gondola which he hired, to one of the finest mansions near the Pa lazzo. As soon as the lady dismissed her gon dolier, and entered the portals of the pal ace, the officer stepped ashore, and first bribed the porter, that functionary in formed him that the house was the town residence of tho Signor Morisini, and that the name of the lady who had just entered was Juliano Morisini. With this information ho hastened to his employer, old Gablentz, who, over joyed at tho prospect of being son-in-law to the father of so beautiful a woman, lost no time in waiting upon tho Signor Morisini. The Venetian was surprised at the ar dor of the General: but, contrary to the expectation of the lover, ho made no ob jection to the match. The preliminaries were soon over, and the nappy bride groom appeared at the altar. The bride groom had just repeated the vows after the officiating priest, and the lady had raised her veil in order to pledge herself to “everlasting lovo, honor and obedi ence,” when the gallant and amorous General gave a loud exclamation, of a na ture more suited to the atmosphere of the barracks or the mess room than to that of tho sanctuary. “A fraud! h vile fraud ! a mean, cursed fraud I" shrieked, rather than spoke, tho bridegroom. Intense wad the astonishment of all present, but no ono, excepting the bride groom himself, and the gentleman who acted tho part of friendly spy for him, understood tho cause of the General's ex traordinary and unseenly behavior.” The latter gentleman, however, though greatly marveling at tho affair, readily . sympathized with the ; infuriated bride groom; for there, before tho altar, array ed in bridal costume, stood, not'the fresh and radiant beauty of the Giardino Pub lico, but a dry and faded—wo might al most say, a withered and scraggy-faced, though tall and stately in her person— lady, old enough to be, at least, the moth er of the young and blooming creature whose fascinations had vanquished the poor old General. When the officiating priest had recov ered tho composure disturbed by tho bridegroom’s outburst of fury, he demand ed to know the cause of such conduct. “Cause!” echoed the General; “ cause enough! That is not the lady that I bar gained for!” “ But that lady is iny daughter 1” said the Venetian, stepping forward and con fronting the warrior with a mien as fierce and stern as his own. “ That lady is my daughter; though we are the subjects of a foreign rule, I, at least, am not so cowardly a slave as to put up quietly with the gross insult you now oner me!" A general altercation ensued; but the end of it was that the General was com pelled to marry the mature and unblush ing, middle-aged bride whom he had led to the altar. The. Austrian Commander-in-Chief in Venice, on being appealed to, and on the aft'air being explained to him, insisted that the honor of the Austrian army, and even of the Emperor, were involved in the affair. “For,” reasoned the Com mander-in-Chlef, “ you know you pro cured my influence, which is that of the Emperor, to prevail on the Signor Morls ini to give you the hand of his daughter; and inasmuch as the lady is his daugh ter, and his only daughter when you ,made your suit, you must be sensible that "it would never do to break your word.” The poor, crest fallen General was com- Eelled to take the middle aged lady “ for etter and for worse.” It Is possible, however, that he may have consoled him self with the reflection that the unpleas ant looking pill which ho had promised to swallow might bo rendered palatable by a gilding of some of his father-in-law’s The source of tho mistake was easily cleared up. Old Morialni had a son, settled as a merchant in Genoa. This bod, who was ADVERTISING TERMS.

Cahds, H NDBrLLg.CiKCiTXJULS, and every other description of Job and Card Printing executed in the neatest stylo at low prices* married, had a daughter bearing the same name as her aunt —Juilano Morisini. • This daughter—tho beauty of the Giar dino Publico—-was on a visit to'her grand father, at Venice, when, in the manner related, she was seen by General Qab lentz, and who, because her name was Morisini, and she lived in the same i)ouse t very UloglcaUy jumped to the conclusion that she must be the old Venetian, Mori sini’s daughter. In his Impatience to have tho fair one for his wife, ho had dis pensed with a long courtship, and. In deed, with any interviews with the lady, satisfied with her father’s consent; and fearing probably that his own ago, and rough and rugged address and counte nance, might not make a tender impres sion, on the soft and dazzling erdature whom ho desired to make his wife. [From Bancroft's History.] CHAIII.ES JAMES FOX. The character of this unique man was not a chapter of contradictions; each part of his nature was in harmony with all the rest. With talents, good nature and truth- ’ fulness, ho had no restraining principles, and looked down with contempt on those who had. Priding himself on ignorance of every solf-donying virtue, an adept in debauch and vain of his excesses, heleam od nothing. Unlucky at the gaming table beyond all calculation of chances, drain ing tho cup of pleasure to the dregs, and fond of loose women and beloved by them, tho delight of profligates, the sport of usu rers, impoverished by his vice, he braved scandal, and gloried in a lordly reokiesnesa of his inability to pay his debts, as if su perb ostentation in misfortune raised him above all his fellow-men. He hadastrong will; but he never used it to bridle his passions, even though their indulgence wronged his own father or corrupted his young admirers. Born to wealth and rank and easy access to the service of the King, at heart an aristocrat, he could scoff at monarchy and hold the language of a lev eller and demagogue. Ho loved* poetiy and elegant letters, tho songs of Homer above ail; but science was too dull for him, and even tho style and lucidity and novelty of Adam Smith could not charm the licentious, rollkicug statesman to the study of political economy. His undurb ed licentiousness seemed rather to excite than to exhaust his lofty powers; his per ceptions were quick and instinctively true and in his wildest dissipation he retained an unoxtinguishable passion for activity of intellect. Living as though men and women were instruments of pleasure, he yet felt him self destined for great things, and called forth to the service of mankind. To be talked about, ho would stake all he had and more on a wager; but the all-conquer ing instinct of his ambition drove him to the House of Commons. There his geni us was at home; and that body cherished him with the indulgent pride which it al ways manifests to those who keep up its high reputation with tho world. A knotty brow, a dark brown complexion, thick shaggy eyebrows, and a compact frame, marked a rugged audacity and a com manding energy, which made him rude and terrible as an adversary; but with all this, he had a loveliness of temper which so endeared him to his friends that the sur vivors among them never ceased tho praise of the sweetness and the gentleness of his familiar intercourse. It was natural to him to venerate greatness like Edmund Burke’s; and a wound in his affections easily moved him to tears. His life was dissolute; his speech was austere. His words wore all pure English; he took no pains to hunt after them; tho aptest came at his call, and seemed to belong to him. Everypart of hls.dlsoourso lived and mov ed. He never gave up strength of state ment for beauty of expression; and never stopped to fill up gaps with fine phrases. His healthy diction was unaffectedly simpleand nervous,always effective,some times majestic and resounding, rarely .or nate, and then only when ho impressed a saying of poet or philosopher to tip his argument with fire. He never dazzled with brilliant colors, but could startle by boldness in the contrast of light and shade. Ho forced his hearers to be attentive and docile ; for lib spoke only when he had something to say, that needed to be said, and compelled admiration because he made himself understood What was entangled he could unfold quickly and lu cidly; now speaking with copious fluency, and now discussing point by point; atone time confining debate within the narrow est limits, and again speaking as if in spired to xfioad tho welfare of aIT mankind. Ho had a wonderful gift at finding and bringing together what he wanted, though lying far off and apart. It was his wont to march straight toward his end; but he kpew how to turn aside an attack, to re treat with his eye ever on his enemy, and then, by an unexpected reversion, to strike him suddenly as with talons. When In volved In dispute, he dashed at the cen tral idea, which was of power to decide the question; grasped it firmly and held it fast; turned it over on every side ; presented it in the most various aspects ; came back to dwell upon It with fresh force; renewed blow after blow till it be came annealed like steel. He hit the nail again, and again, and always on the head, till he drove it home into the minds of his hearers: and when he was beaten by the majority he still bore away the palm as a wrestler, His merits, as sum med lip by Mackintosh,were “reason, simplicity and vehemence.” . Yet Fox was great only as a speaker; nay, his sphere was still narrower: he was great only as a speaker in the House of Commons, and there great os a speaker in opposition. Ha was too skillful xn con troversy to be able to present the connec tions and relations of events with the comprehensive fairness of an historian ; and his strength went out horn him when he undertook only to tell what had been done. He failed os a statesman, not from defect of heart, but from the uncer tainty which attends the of fixed princi ples, and which left him exposed to, the allurements of any promising coalition; but he was the very man to storm a cita del. Jain running down a ministry, his voice halloed on the pack, and he, was sure to be the first in at the death. Missouri, says the St. Louis Re publican, is the only State in tho Union that taxes graveyards and churches, and tho only party that was ever known to originate and sustain such an odious sys tem of taxation is the Radical party of Missouri.
