A FIGHT IN THE SNOW.
A KTOKY Kou vor:.'; AM) OLD.
Jt v. i. ti cold winter morning in D
ns'iibcr, 1 S~ 1, :m< 1 tin: snow was lying
lliick in tin 11 'i-i't - of tile old French
(own of Angers, wle ri two boys in the
iiniforn of the Mibi oy School i line

. bronze nI .tue of King Rene now stnnds,
ary] weut briskly up lie slope beyond,
The one, t ill, dim, and dark liainsl,
'B itb'a saliev twinkle in )u- bright, black
eyes, was untnisl.'ikubly Frein'b; while
tin other, 1 n>rt, strongly built, book
nosed, with n mouth and j iw a linn and
hard hh a bull dog's, was.quite as unmis

his French school fellows had iiheuly
nicknamed him "Shprtsjieech
‘‘Cut oil tlie w iter "
.“Hilt how .” cried Eugene.
“They have only one well in the
taietle, and I hear that it often goes dry.
Failing that, they have only tin
river to depend upon, Find out tluir
communication with it, and cut it oir.”
“Then s -something in that,” id De
Florae; “lmt wouldn't it take an im

* “Well," ined I>i■ Flora.', “vnu xvon't

“When the time comes," answered
Slimtspetvh, I unposedly, "tie shall see
xvhat we can do "
“Well done! Vive la Frame! Let

dose! Brain! bravo!”
And a clashing storm of snowballs
•came rattling in the faces of the assail¬
ant*, mingled with shouts of taunting
laughter, a- thev reeled back trom the
assault f . the third time.
Kugene de Florae bad fully made good

THE DEMOCRAT, CRAWFORDVTLLE, GEORGIA.
Quick a- lightning half a dozen nim¬
ble fellows of the other party sprang
from belund a corner of the play-ground
wall, and clambering into the deserted
fort, tore down, with a shout of tri¬
umph. the flag that waved above it.
fie Florae and his followers, thunder¬
struck at this unexpected disaster,
rushed wildly back to the rescue; but in
a moment the pretended fliers faced
round and pelted them with a perfect
hail of snowballs, while the captors of
the fort battered them on the other
side. Then all gave way, and Eugene
himself, while trying to rally his men,
slipped down into a hole, and was al¬
most. buried in the snow when his Eng¬
lish friend came up and helped him out.
“Well, comrade,” said De Florae,
shaking the loose snow from his clothes
and hair, “you've fairly beaten me this
time, there's no denying it. They may
w II ay that an Englishman lights best
when all seems lost.”
“It’s never well to be in a hurry in
| war,” answered Short speech, as cooly aa
ever. “Tin: one that can wait is the one
who wins.”
* * 4*
j More than thirty years after that day
I th< mui was .setting upon a hard-fought
. batth- in the south of France. AH
around the <juaint little old-fa^liioned
town of Ortiicz the snow was trampled
into mire and i lined with blood, while
j a mingled m i of red-jacketed English,
green frocked Portuguese, and blue
eoTte'j l'n liehrniui were rushing eon
f : edly down the hill side beyond it
amid rolling < louds of smoke.
A the beaten army gave way, a
French officer of hii^h rank, cut off from
his comrades, set his back against a tree,
and, wounded through ho was, Flashed
so fiercely at the. four English grenadiers
! who haul hemmed him in as to keep them
all at bay for a few moments.
* ‘Surrender, mounsccr! cried one of
i j the assailant-; “you’ve fought like a
j good un, and we don’t want to hurt
you.
“N'cver!” answerci I the Frenchman, in
I'll; dish; but ju t tie n hi ■ word snapped
dll at the hilt, and he was lelt defenee
less.
“What's all this;” asked a stern voice
behind the group, at the first sound of
which the British soldiers drew hack and
duti'il iv-poet fully. “Who are you j
monsieur?”
‘'(tciicr.'il Eugene tie Florae,” replied
j the Fii'iU Huiati, liioking keenly at his

“De Florae '. "echoed the English Com
mrtnditt'-in Chief for it was TmteeiUtlfi
who hail come up so opportunely; “I
thought as much the moment I heard
your voice. Well, General, Fm very glad
to meet you again, although this is a dit
fei'ent kind of light in the snow from
our last one at Angers.”
“It i ; indeed,” laughed De Florae, as
11 ■ grasped the hand of hi old school¬
fellow. “I I'l'memtirr your telling me,
that very dav. that ‘the ine who could
wait was the man to win in war'; but I
could hardly hav foretold then, that I

The Arizona Miinatjnm.
The Oliiimmiin is not the chili} of nn
ture imagined by our philanthropic
friend. If so anywhere, lie is dot so in
Arizona. The Chinese of Arizona might
almost be said to form a distinct'class by
themselves. They furnish at’least an in¬
teresting field of study, for the sociolo¬
gist, .since here on the surface can be
traced each of the successive steps by
which the Chinaman is tnpisfbnued from
the conservative Oriental iiitq the mod¬
ernized American. The strength of con¬
servatism lies in numbers, and' in Cali¬
fornia, where the Chinese "form a large,
part of tliu population, this , force is
strongly felt. But in AfiztJha the case
is different; here the Chinese are widely'
scattered, and their ■.•tmtscrviftism
