Mexico, tho land of romantic history, writes General (). (), Howard in the Louisville (*>:/f i( p-%]t n ri, has, perhaps, no greater mime among her native heroes than that of Montezuma,who was styled, according to the poetic custom of the country, “Archer of Heaven” and “Great Heart,” from his skill and bravery. Montezuma was not born to the throne, but he was a I’rince of high rank under the fourth King of (lie country, who reigned iu the Fourteenth century, and the event which led to his election to trie throne occurred while lie was yet a very young man. 1 he reigning sovereign head of Mexico lent young Montezuma with a large fol¬ lowing to Texcuco as an ambassador, lie accomplished his mission, and was re¬ turning when an ambuscade was sprung upon him. He and liia attendants were made prisoners and hustled off to 01 ml CO. The Governor of that city, being a bitter enemy of the Mexicans, sent them to a miserable prison,and began the pro¬ cess of starving his victims. But the keeper himself dealt kindly with the prisoners. 11 is name, Quateotzin. should be remembered. The Governor, bent on Speedier mischief than slow starvation, took a pious turn, and sent them to a neighboring city to bo sacrificed on the atarsot .. the God (1 . of , War u .

While the Governor’s messengers were making their journey and carrying the offer, the poor prisoners were put into a more irksome confinement. The keeper, Quateotzin, ulready, strongly attached to Montezuma, ! did, during this delay, a wonderful j tliing. Ho went directly to his great i prisoner friend ami warned him of the new danger, and then told that at the I almost sure sacrifice of his own life, “he j proposed to unlock the doors and let j him and his companions go free.” He j begged Montezuma, if he himself should parish, to care for his family. The j ! Mexicans accepted this most generous offer, left tlio prison, and succeeded in j reaching their own land. The enraged Governor, as was antici- I | pated, soon put the keeper and part of his family to death. A son and daugh¬ ter, however, got away, the latter reach¬ ing Mexico. Here she received the re¬ ject and honor due the child of such a father. Montezuma’s return to the City of Mexico produced a great surprise aud much rejoicing. But forthwith trouble was iu store for the Mexican kingdom. The King of the | tierce Tepanecans raised a large army aud ’ \ set out for the Mexican borders. The Mexicans were then kept tributary to the hostile King had in some way in¬ curred lus terrible anger and hatred. The Mexican sovereign and his advisers felt ; themselves too weak to cope with their fearful adversaries, and the timid people \ besieged the gates of the palace and en¬ treated that their sovereign sue ior peace. The tumult increased and the sovereign! was threatened with violence if he did not send out the priests to beg on their knees of the angry enemy for terms of surrender. ' Here was Montezuma's opportunity, lie confronted the clamorous and unruly eou eans^what ^ s 'oC*?x™. would ye do? Have ye lost both reason and courage?

Speak to them again and tell them to strike one blow, at least, before they crouch beneath their enemies!” The sovereign ;>lucked up new courage under Montezuma's inspiration; he harangued the turbulent people effective ly, so that they cried that they would become his vassels forever, provided they should conquer in that struggle.

MARCH 31 18!»1 to this brave soul the leaders formed a small, solid column, and rushed upon their enemies, broke their lines and threw them in turn into an increasing panic. Montezuma himatlf about the same time encountered their General and instantly slew him. This hastened the enemy’s rout, and gave the Mexicans a great victory. IIow much Montezuma was like some of our revolutionary sires, who staked their lives upon the issue of the contest and preferred death to ignominious sub¬ mission. The Tepanccan King, greatly enraged at the defeat of his army, speedily brought another into the field; but the Mexicans, now under superb leadership, and intensely excited by their unexpeetd victory, more easily than before beat back their assailants and gained another great advantage. The hostile King, who hid In a bath-house, was sought for, dis¬ covered, clubbed and stoned to death and his -body treated to the indignities usual to the American savages, for in war the Aztecs were as yet no better. The result of this terrible struggle was trio independence of Mexico, in the year of our Lord 1425. The Tepanecans, being subjugated iu this contest, be¬ came in their turn vassals to Mexico. Montezuma was given large posses¬ sions in the conquered territory, and was a general favorite among a'l classes of people. On the death of the reign¬ ing sovereign they at once chose him to be their King. This was during the eleventh year of their national inde¬ pendence. We wm not follow this great chieftain through Ins subsequent remarkable ‘”"v t.

Montezuma served his country nobly for twenty-eight years. Hadhisgrand son, Montezuma II., who suffered such terrible disasters and finally came to a deplorable death, resulting from the acts of the Spanish invaders, possessed ascin tilla of the heroism of his great ancestor, the history of Mexicp would read differ ently from that of Prescott’s romantic pages. But still, eveiy, Montezuma, the Great Heart, with all his genius and courage and intellect, was not strong enough to abolish the rites of a perpetual Human sacrifice. They burned on their altars the prisoners of war; they made great shows like those in the arena ol ancient Rome, and allowed noble cap fives to purchase their lives by public fights. The sun god was worshiped, and somehow the sun seemed to the Mexican superstition to demand human torture as atonement for sin. WISE WORDS. Stand behind the truth.

The milk pail used to versify a mild and mel¬ low metre When I used to milk old Brindlo in tho yard. And the shining milk was sweeter unto me and little Peter Than oriental perfumes of myrrh, frankin¬ cense and nard. The sunsef flung its banners from tho gilded hills about us, And the odors of the evening seemed to drop from every bough. There was peace and glad contentment both within us and without us, ' At the sweet mellifluous milking of the J cow. I And wandering like a memory, from the si¬ lent. past’s abysm I smell the grateful odors of the fragrant evening breeze, And I bend to catch the chrism of the twi¬ light’s glad baptism, And the outstreched benediction of the trees. The glory of t'ue summer night, the magic of the mountains. And the tinklings of the twilight on the farm are with me now But through all the mingling music still I hear those falling fountains, The sweet mellifluous milking of the cow. Still I hear the joyful rhythm of that tittil lating tinkle, And I smell the grateful odors of the placid, perfumed night, Odors blown from glens a-sprinkle with wild rose and periwinkle, And from lakes where lazy lilies loll in languor for tho light, Through the valley of Long Years that is glimmering behind me I peer down tnrough the vista that con¬ nects the then and now, With a youth’s audacious unconcern a care¬ less boy I find mo, At the sweet mellifluous milking of the . cow. —/S'.

It was a peaceful, lazy of taking Ufe appealing to the higher senses in all externals, and pro¬ moting placid thought. Nothing to worry no social or business cares, it was an Arcadia rcpletc with aU mndern con _ ve uieuces-something truly to be dc slmL go Tom Armstrong ,? thought J? to , • > f ’^Li, . , , UU-«, „ , , . - 4 ^ --i. t beyond . the land in a blaze of golden glory, and every yacht reflected some color of the sunset, lhichts on every side of him lay rolling in a passing swell, and his own yacht rocked gently from Jfde to side. A little while after the sun sank from sight the moon came up over the ocean, and lights began to dot the shadowy fleet. There was a new activity among the people about, and presently a quartet on one of the yachts began to sing. Then row boats put off from each of the yachts, and before long a lhie of boats encircled the yacht where the singers were stationed, The party was a col lege glee club, and the young men, ap¬ preciating the applause which came from the audience, went on one song after another, while the half circle of row boats tossed in the water, Tom Arm strong was among the assemblage of row boats, lie and his guest having rowed out from the yacht, and the effect was one that appealed directly to him. His oars rested on the gunwale, and he paid no heed to the fact that his boat was slowly drifting toward its neighbor. “Hullo, there 1” said some one, sud¬ denly, almost in liis ear. Tom started, and saw that he was bearing.down upon the boat, and almost touching it. He put forth his hand to catch the stranger boat and prevent them colliding, but as he did so hi§ fingers touched another hand that was out stretched. It was only a second before both hands were withdrawn, but iu that time Armstrong’s boat'had gently bumped agairfst the other. “I beg your pardon!” he said, raising his cap hurriedly and reaching for the oars. “It was very careless in me.” He looked toward the occupants of the boat as he spoke, and quick as a flash the thought darted through his mind that his carelessness was a blessing, for looking at him was the prettiest girl im¬ aginable. It was her hand that he had touched and drawn away from so quick¬ ly. It was not more than a glance that he gave, but he could have picked her out again in any throng. He rowed away very slowly, and stopped as soon as he could. He could just see the form and outline of the other boat, and could count the occupants. There were two ladies and two men, and Tom wondered i who iu the world they were girl; and what seemed re- j lation they were to the he j to be wonderfully interested in her, con- i sidering the time he had seen her. The songs had been going on ail the time, but Tom bad paid little attention to j them. The college boys had about exhausted their stock of new songs and chanced upon some of the old favorites. When they sang “Aunt Dinah’s Quilting Party” the occupants of the surrounding boats took up the chorus, and Tom was certain that he could distinguish the voice of the prettv girl when they sang “And Ws from Aunt Dinah’s quilting party 1 seeing Nelly home.’’ was With this idea (for it was all imagina tion on hfs part, no doubt) he called loudlv for au encore, and sat still, trying again to distinguish her voice in the score of others. When this was done the singers were evidently gettihg tired, for they started “Good-night, Ladies,” and the people, acting inwall upon directions, toe gentle hint, began 0 to move off looking , in the pale moonlight, like a lot of gigantic water spiders. At least that was what Tom’s guest and friend, Will Townes, suggested; but Tom sneered at the idea', and ".itemed to get '"ox icallv angry over it, He lost sight the particular boat tnat the girl .as in, so he went directly to his. yacht .V quasi, Itemoaning his hard fate that he been unable to find out whica her yacht was, so that he might find an opportunity J; to meet her. Tom-went on deck very early the next morning, and he was no sooner there Mian a voice hailed him. “Ahoy, Asquam. ’ It was from the yacht Phyllis that had come to anchor a few lengths from h m the night before. - Ilubo. he answered. The gentleman who stood on the ot.icr boat put ud his hands to his mouth, .ogo and c,llo.l .lowly: -Don't you want outside to-day anu hate a little There’s a beautiful breeze. ” ® Tom hesitated a moment, and looked at the sky. He wanted very much to find the girl that had taken his fancy the night before, but as he looked around at the fifty or sixty yachts he realized the hopelessness of his task. S. “All right, ’ he replied; “I’ll go. When “Right shall we start?’’ il * willing,” fp away, you are shouted the other. “By-the-way, you don’t appear to recognise me. My mime is Quincy “Why,* ” oh yes! It’s such a time since I saw you I had forgotten it for the mo ment,” answered Tom, as he recognized a friend of bis elder brother. “IIow are you?” “Fine !”‘called back the other. “This is rather a distant greetiug, but 'we’ll sea more of you, I hope. By-the-way, Arm¬ strong,” he added, as a second figure came up from behind him, “let me in¬ troduce my niece, Miss Quincy, Mr. Armstrong.” And Tom was face to face with the girl whom he had seen in the boat on the previous evening. “Tt* yacht’s named after her.” Tom bowed low,for a minuted he could not reply, and then he made some com¬ mon place remark, wondering if the girl remembered him. That all happened in July; and through the summer wherever the Phyllis went, there was the Asquam to be found .also. Whenever Miss Quincy needed an escort, Tom Armstrong was on hand; and when¬ ever the young man indulged in any of his day-dreams, there was Miss Quincy to be found. Her uncle, who was older than Tom, was very glad to have pleas ant company for the girl, and she did not seem to object particularly. Iu fact, she was not an impulsive girl, and gave no signs when her dislike was not deep, neither showed she any deep interest $i«s. when she wished to hide her f T om, as it might ! imagined more and more devoted rl.-.y by was free to confess* 8 " " TyS^v^nore deeply interested with Phyllis Quincy than he had ever been before in any other girl. He, of course, regarded her through glasses of rose, but an outside observer would have acknowledged her to be a girl of much sweetn^s and strength of character; and she was beauti¬ ful as well. Not above medium height, with brown hair, and dark eyes of won¬ drous depth,,it was no wonder that the young man was so deeply smitten. As for Tom Armstrong, he was one or those fortunate individuals who are blessed with a great talent in art and music, aud yqt so well ®ff in worldly goods that he did no more than gain a mediocre success in the various lines—a mere dabbler, in truth. But yachting seasons have an end, and when the two yachts sailed into New York Bay, and the parties went their different ways, there was much regret on both sides. They had lots of mutual friends, however, in the city, and they met at outside entertainments so frequently that it seemed strange they had never met before in their lives, though it must be confessed that their meetings were not altogether chance. Miss Phyllis lived with her uncle, and Tom was soon at home there. Months passed by, but brought no defi¬ nite results, for Tom, who could not be termed faint-hearted, was not sure of winning his suit, however sure lie was of himself, aud he dared not risk his hopes by a premature confession. They were seen together in society a great deal, and sharped-tongued gossip had them en¬ gaged, but Tom Ihe had to visit his family iu Boston during Christmas holidays, and society kindly broke the engagement during his absence. “Has it been ten weeks or tea days since I went away?” asked Tom, upon his return shortly after New Y'ear's. “It depends altogether how you reckon time,” she had answered, quickly. Phyllis had been glad, indeed, to see him again, but he could gather no idea of her feelings toward him, and he was terribly slow about proposing, so con¬ trary to his usual reckless way of going things, -It was an evening in 3Iareh.

He did not think ol it as a delusion, it was real to him. Suddenly starting up, he lit the gas, and drawing out a box of colors,sketched swiftly on a paper before him. It was the pictute that he had seen. Dim, un¬ defined, he drew the background, the piano, and with a few r steady strokes he barely outlined the sweet face so dear to him. And when it was done he printed underneath a line of music—that aii which she had sung. He wrote no words. Would she understand? he wondered. He decided to deliver it in person the next day. Phyllis was somewhat surprised at his morning call, but greeted him gladly. He placed the picture in her hands without a word, and going over to the piano, ran over the music that he had heard accompanying the song.

Among the most important rivers in Europe is the Danube; in fact, it is the second river. It has a length of 170G miles; it and its tributaries drain a val¬ ley having an area of over 300,00G square miles. Many natives live along its banks and those of the rivers which flow into it, and nearly thirty dialects are spoken from its source to its mouth It rises in the Black Forest, to the north of Switzerland, and almost iu sight of the French frontier. Through Bavaria and Austria is its course, through Hun¬ gary, past Servia and Bulgaria, Rou mania and Roumelia, which tributaries flow in from Bosnia and Macedonia on the south and Poland on the north, so that practically the valley of the Danube comprises the most important portion of Eastern Europe. It runs through the battle-ground of civilization and sav¬ agery. Here the Romans contended with the Scythians and the IIuus; here the Greek Empire strove to maintain its supremacy over the hordes of savage tribes which came down from the steppes of Russia; here, after the Empire of the East faded away, Charlemagne contended with savage tribes of semi-Asiatics; here all Europe fought the Turks for genera¬ tion after generation, until, by a great battle fought under the walls of Vienna, the flood of the Mohammedan invasion v#as rolled back toward Asia .—Detroit Free Press. The Most Powerful Telescope. Half a dozen serious-faced men arc working at Cambridgeport, Mass., over a great lump of glass, with a delibera¬ tion that might suggest, under different circumstances, that they expected to be paid by the hour. What they accom¬ plish in a day is not appreciable to the untrained eye, and the amount of work they do iu a month is hardly worth mentioning. Indeed, the ever-present anxiety in their minds and the minds of their employers is bst they may proceed too rapidly. They can afford to work slowly, for, if they succeed m theii task, they will have given to the lump of glass a value comparable only with that c f the rarest gems.
