Aroand Him.
" We found bim as he had fallen from his
horse, hia sword still finnjy graspe'l m hts
hand, and the flag he died defending drawn
aeross his breast. He looked as though he
had gone to sleep, expecting every moment to
be aroused by a call to arms. There was
not a clear eye among us when one of his
friends severed two ringlets from the many
that clustered his forehead to '3end heme' to
his mother and betrothed. He was buried as
he was fouHd—the flag, the sword, the sol-
dier, in one grave?"—¿««era from the Rio
Órande.
Let him lie in the dark narrow grave you
have made—
Let him lie, as dying you found him;
Let him sleep with his hand on the dinted
blade,
And the Stars and Stripes around him.
But first cut a lock from his long chestnut
hair,
For one that the hero left weeping,
And another "send home," and with them
tell where
The son and the lover are sleeping.
When long winter nights, at the home of his
birth,
Are shortened with legend and story,
Some voice in the household will tell of his
worth
And speak of his death and glory ;
And fancy will picture the place where he
sleeps,
Beside him the blue winding river,
The sloping flats where the chapparal sweeps,
And summer breathes seftly forever.
The mother will " as she thinks of her boy,"
And the ties that so tenderly bound him ;
Bnt the lad at her side will think 'twere a
joy
To sleep with the banner around him !
And she, the dark-eyed and the beautiful one,
Who waited so long for her lover,
Will fall asleep tearful, and dream until morn
Of joys and ¡ove meetings over.
When another shall kneel at the foot of the
fair
To win her with sighs and with vowing,
She'll tell him her heart, as he pleading kneels
there,
Is tombed where the river is flowing.
The ringlets yon cot from the pale marble
brow
Of onr comrade, and warrior hearted,
She'll press to her lips, and remember ber
vow
Of faith to the dear one departed.
Let him sleep by the wave of the Rio Grande,
With no proud sculptured urn above him ;
There are tablets enough in his own native
land—
The sorrowing sad hearts that loved him.
Let him lie in the dark narrow grave yon
have made—
Let him lie, as dying, you found him ;
Let him sleep with his hand on the dinted
blade,
And the Stars and Stripes around him !
Billy ttae Male.
An incident occurred while we
-were in the mountains which struck
me at the time as being one of the
most remarkable and touching evi-
dences of devotion that I have ever
known evinced among the brute crea
tion.
On leaving Fort Leavenworth with
the army for Utah in the previous
summer, one of the officers rode a
small mule, whose kind and gentle
disposition soon caused him to be-
come a favorite among the soldiers,
and they named him "Billy." As
this officer and myself were very
often thrown together upon the
march, the mule, in the course of a
few days, evinced a growing 'attach-
ment for a mare that I rode. The
sentiment was not, however, recipro-
cated on her part, and she intimated
as much by the reversed position of
her ears, and the free exercise of her
feet and teeth whenever Billy came
within her reach. But these signal
marks of displeasure, instead of dis-
couraging, rather seemed to increase
his devotion, and whenever at liber-
ty he invariably sought to get near
her, and appeared much distressed
when not permitted to follow her.
On leaving Camp Scott for New
Mexico, Billy was among the number
of mules selected for the expedition.
During the march I was in the habit,
when starting out from camp in the
morning, of leading off the party,
and directing the packman to hold
the mule until I should get so far in
advance with the mare that he could
not see us; but the moment he was
released he would, in spite of all the
efforts of the packers, start off at a
most furious pace, and never stop or
cease braying until he reached the
mare's side. We soon found it im-
possible to keep him with the other
mules, and he was finally permitted
to have his own way.
In the course of time we encoun-
tered the deep snows in the Rocky
Mountains, where the animals eould
get no forage, and Billy, in common
with the others, at length became so
weak and jaded that he was unable
any longer to leave his place in the
caravan and break a track through
the snow around to the front. He
made frequent attempts to turn out
and force his way ahead, but after
numerous unsuccessful efforts he
would fall down exhausted, and set
up a most mournful braying.
The other mules soon began to
fail, and to be left, worn out and
famished to die by the way-side. It
was not, however, fer some time that
Billy showed symptoms of becoming
one of the victims, until one evening
after our arrival at camp I was in-
formed that he had dropped down,
and been left upon the road during
tho day. The men all deplored his
loss exceedingly, as his devotion to
the mare had touch^i their kind
hearts, and many expressions of
sympathy were uttered around their
bivouac fires on that evening.
Much to our surprise, however,
about 10 o'clock, just as we were
about going to deep, we heard a
mule braying about naif a mile to
the rear upon our trail. Sure
enough, it proved to be Billy, who,
after having rested, had followed
upon our track and overtaken ¿is.
As soon as he reached the side of the
mare he lay dewn and seemed per-
fectly contented.
The next day I relieved him from
his pack, and allowed him to run
loose; but during the march he gave
out, and was again abandoned to his
fate; and this time we certainly
never expected to see him more.
To our great astonishment, however,
about twelve o'clock that night the
sonorous but not very musical notes
of Billy in the distance aroused us
from our slumbers, and again an-
nounced his approach. In an instant
the men were upon their feet, gave
three hearty cheers, and rushed out
in a body to meet and escort him in-
to camp.
But this well-meant ovation elicit-
ed no response from him. He came
reeling and floundering along through
the deep snow, perfectly regardless
of these honors, pushing aside all
those who occupied the trail or inter-
rupted his progress in the least, wan-
dering about until he found the mare,
dropped down by her side, and re-
mained until morning.
When we resumed our march on
the following day he made another
desperate effort to proceed, but soon
fell down exhausted, when we reluc-
tantly abandoned him, and saw him
no more.
Alas! poor Billy ! your constancy
deserved a better fate; you may, in-
deed, be said to have been a victim
of unrequited affection.—Gen. Mar-
ajs " Thirty Years of Army Life."
Interesting Divorce Case—a
Husband sues for divorce on the
ground of malformation.—:There
was rather a singular divorce case
before the Chancery Court yesterday,
a man suing for divorce on the
grounds of malformation. The fol-
lowing is the decision of Chancellor
Pirtle, which fully gives the particu-
lars of the case. The suit was
brought by J. P. Bray against his
wife :
By the statute of Kentucky (2 Re-
vised Statutes, page 17) "the courts
having chancery jurisdiction may de-
cree a divorce to both husband and
wife, for such impotency or malfor-
mation as prevents sexual inter-
course. The plaintiff alleges that the
defendant is so malformed as to pre-
vent such intercourse. The defend-
ant says in her answer that it is true
but that she became so after the bear-
ing of a child of their marriage by
accident in the birth of said child;
and the proof fully sustains the an-
swer. She seems not to object to
the divorce, but asks that she may
have the child, to which she is much
attached, and also an allowance for
the support of herself and child.
If she consents to the divorce, this
court could not grant it unless the
cause shown of record came within
the statute; and it seems to me that
it does not. The malformation men-
tioned in the statute, when we con-
sider what a marriage is among
Christian people, must have been
congenial, or, at least, before mar-
riage was solemnized. Suppose the
husband should be renderd impotent
or malformed by a wound in battle,
would the statute apply? Surely
not, any more than if his health were
permanently destroyed by some of
the many ills that flesh is heir to.
Now the proof shows, in this case,
that the wife suffered this dreadful
misfortune in bearing the husband's
child, and it came about through the
neglect of the nurse. The husband
may have been some to blame about
this neglect; the midwife or the doc-
tor, perhaps, should have been sent
for. But be this as it may have
been, the case is not deemed to be
within the statute. The wife is en-
titled to her child, for her comfort,
and the case is referred to the com-
missioners to report what will be a
proper allowance for the wife for the
support of herself and child. His
petition is dismissed. We would
have better thought he would have
worshipped a lifetime the woman who
suffered so much for him, rather than
that he would ask this court to help
his arm to throw her, like a loath-
some weed, away.
To which the plaintiff's counsel ex-
cepted, and was granted an appeal to
the Court of Appeals.
A gentleman who is engaged in
the telegraphic qxpedition in Siberia,
relates the following incident in a
letter to a friend in Cincinnati: " I
met with a Koark woman, of about
twenty-two years of age, on the
great Thundra (marked Kerau on
the map,) who drove a team of rein-
deers with a loaded sledge fifty versts
in one day, and at night slept out in
the snow, with no covering whatever,
except the cloths she had worn dur-
ing the day, and in a temperature
forty-three degrees below zero, or
seventy degrees below the freezing
point. Think of that ye effeminate
ladies of America! That, I saw
myself, though even to me it seems
incredible now. I thought it an ex-
traordinary thing to sleep in a rein-
deer-skin tent out-doors in such
weather, and I should have frozen to
death in two hours had I attempted
to deep without it. She traveled
with ns, driving her own reindeer,
and sleeping on the snow every
night.

announce that after so long a time
neat head-boards are at last provided

. Tiie Talk of Men and Women.
—Some Frenchman of a statistical
turn of mind, who evidently has but
little to do, publishes in a Havre pa-
per some carious statistics of the av-
erage talk of men and women. He
has discovered that an ordinary mid-
dle-aged man spends three hours per
day in conversation, calculating at
the rate of one hundred words per
minute, or twenty-nine octavo pages
per hour, which would amount to six
hundred pages per week, or fifty-two
big volumes per year. Having as-
certained these facts as regards the
masculine portion of the human race,
the statistician applied his best ener
gies to ascertain the amount of words
uttered by an ordinary and middle
aged female per minute, and the
amount of time spent on the average
by that sex in general conversation
After the most patient investigation
and abstruse calculation, this able
arithmetician was compelled to give
up the question and confess the mag
nitude of the figures produced even
at the outside of the inquiry baffled
all human calculation.
