July 14, 1S48, about Bixty soldiers belong ing to one of the Italian infantry regi ments, having been sent to occupy an is olated house on a height, were unex pectedly attacked by two companies' of Austrians, who, fir from different points, barely gave them time to tako refuge in the house and hastily barricade the doors, leaving several dead and wounded in the fields. After bar ricading the doors the Italian soldiers hastily ran to the windows on the first floor and began to pour a steady firo into the assailants, who were gradually ad varicing in a semicircle aud replying vigorously. Tho sixty Italians were commanded by two subalterns and a Captain, a tall old follow, lean and severe, with whito hair find mustache. With them there was a Sardinian drummer boy, a boy not much more than 11 3-cars old, who scarcely appeared to be 12; he was stuall, with an olive brown face and two sparkling little deep black eyes. The Captain was directing the defence from & window on the first floor; while the micircle of the enemy kept closing up. Ail at once the Captain, who until the n hael been impassable, was toen to show signs of uneasiness, and to stride out of the room, followed by a sergeant. About three minutes afterward the ser-i:i-ant came running back anel called tho 'Inunirer boy, beckoning him to follow. The boy lan after him up a wooden Jhaivaso, and went with him into nu f riii)f J can ct, where he saw the Captain, w ho was writing with a pencil on a sheet of paper, leaning against tho window, with a well rope on the floor at his feet. The Captain folded the paper, and ?'oking with bis cold, grayish eyes, be fore which all the soldiers trembled, into the- eyes of tho boy, said abruptly: : drummer boy'" The drummer boy saluted. The Cantaia said: "You've r ot grit." The boy's eyes lighted up. "Yes, Captain," he answered. :'L;ok down there," said the Captain, pushing him to the winelow; "in the plain, near tho houses of Villafranca, w hore there is a glittering of bayonets. Those are our friends, standing idle. Take this note, catch hold of the rope, sii !e down from the window, run down tho hill, go through the fields, reach our frioiidf!, and give the note to the first oiheer you see. Chuck away your belt -d knapsack." The boy took off his belt and knap ':. Ai and put the note , into his breast poikd; the sergeant threw out the rope and grasped one end of it with both lumps'; the Captain helped the boy pass bae.karrt through the little window. ''Take cave," he said to him; "the safety of the detachment depends on your eonr.tgc anel on your legs." "Trust me, Captain,'' replied the drummer boy, swinging himself out. -' "l-'toop as you go down," said the Ca.itain again, helping the Eergeant to ho d the rope. ''Meyer fear." "God help you." h a few moments the boy was on the fT--i '- d; the eergeant drew up the rope inc: on them and disappeared; the Captain sprang to the window and saw the boy flying down tho hill.

"Up ! courage !" he cried, follow- 1 ing with his gaze the distant boy. "I'cr- j warel ! run 1 He has stopped, curse him ! 1 Ah ! he is running again." An officer came, out of breath, to say that the enemy, without ceasing their j fire, were waving a white flag as a sum mons to surrender. "Don't answer!" he cried, without removing his eyes from the bo3r, who was already in tho plain, but who was no longer running, anel who appeared to be dragging himself along With diffi culty. "But get on ! run !" said the Captain j grinding his teeth and clinching his lists; "kill yourself, die, scoundrel, but go on!" Then a horrible oath burst from him. "Ah ! tho infamous coward, he has sat down!" In fact the boy, whose head till now he had seen pro jecting above a wheatfield, had disap peared, as if he had fallen. But in a moment his heael came into view again ; finally he was lost bohiuel the hedges, and the Captain taw him no more. He then flew down stairs; it was lain ing bullets; the rooms were encuiuboieel with tho wounded, some of them reeled about like drunken men, catching at the furniture; walls were spattered witn blood; corpses were lying across tha floors; the Lieutenant's arm had been broken by a ball ; everything was in a Whirl of smoke and elnst. "Courage!" yelled the Captain. "Stick to your posts. Belief is coming. Courage for a little while longer!" The Anstrians had drawn neaier yet, their j contorted faces loomed through the; Smoke. Above the rattle of the firing rose their savage cries, insulting, de manding surrender, threatening slaughter. Occasionally a solelier, ter ror stricken, retn ateelfrom the window; the sergeant drove him ba?k. But the defender's fire was slackening; their faces showed discouragement; it was im possible to prolong the resistance. Sud denly the firing of the Anstrians slack ened anel a thundering voice shouted in German, then in Italian: "Surrender !" "No !" howled the Captain from a window. And the firing began again steadier anel fiercer ou both sides. More soldiers fell. Already more than one winelow was without defenders. The fatal moment was close at hand. Tha Captain was muttering between his teeth in a broken voice: "They're not coming! They're not coming !" and he ran fur iously about twisting his sabre in his clinched hand, resolved to die, when a sergeant, coming down from the garret, cried in a loud voice: "They're com ing!" "They're coming !"the captain repeat ed, with a shout of joy. At the shout, all, unhurt, -wounded, sergeants, and of ficers, rusheel to the windows, and once more the resistance grew fierce. A few moments later, a sort of uncertainty and beginning of disorder were remark ed in the enemy. Immediately, in great haste, the Captain formed a small com pany down stairs, with fixeel bayonets, all ready to make a sally. Then he flew upstairs again. He had scarcely got up there when they heard a hurried tread, accompanieel bv a formidable hurrah, and from the windows they saw advancing through the smoke the two-cornered hats of tho Italian carbineer?, a sejuad- ron dashing along at full speed, and the Hashing ot sworei uiaeies wanuisnca m the air. descending on the heads, should ers and back of tho enemy. Then the little troop rushed out of the door witli lowered bayonets; the enemy wavered, became disordered ami took to flight; the ground remained clear, the house was free, and a short time after the height was occupied by two battallions of infantry and two cannons. Tho Captain, with his remaining soldiers, rejoined his regiment, fought again and was slightly wounded in the left hand by a glancing ball in tho last bayonet charge. The day ended in vict ory for us. But the day after, the fight having bo gun again, the Italians were overwhelm ed, in spite of a brtve resistance, by the superior number of the Austrians, and on the morning of the 26th they were compelled to retreat sorrowfully toward Mincio. The Captain, although wcninded, marched on foot " with his soldiers, who were tired and silent, and toward sun set reached Goito on the Mincio, and immediately sought out his Lieutenant, who had been picked up, with a broken arm, by an ambulance, and who had ar rived here first. He was directed to a church, where a field hospital had hasti-T-ebePTi installed. He went there. The church was full of the wounded, reclin ing on two rows of beds and matrcsses stretched on the floor; two doctors and mrinna assistants wero anxiously goin and coming, and stifled rie3 and groans were heard. . On entering the Captain stopped and looked about him, in search ot his ofii cer. Just then he heard a faint voice close by, oalling to him; "Captain!" - GOLDSBOKO, N. He turned aroumT; it was the drum mer boy; he was stretched on a trestle bed, covered up to the chest by a coarse window curtain with little red and white Squares, with his arms out; he wa6 palo and thin, but with his e 3 etill spark liug like two black gems. "Are you here?" the Captain ftsked him in an astonished but stern manner. ''Bravo! You did your duty'" "I did what 1 could' answered the drummer boy. "Have you been wounded?" said the officer proud pleasure of being wounded for the' first time, aud without which he would nt-1, .1.,,1 . : i..iv; s 1.1, the presence of his Captain.

"Enough; enough," said the captain, looking at him and di awing away the bandaged hand which the boy wished to keep; "iflke care of yourself instead of thinking of others, because even slight things can become serious when they are neglected. The drummer boy shook his heael. "But you," saiel the captain, looking at him attentively, "you must have lost much blood to be as weak as that." "Lost much blood.'" answered the boy, with a smile; more than blood! Look! And with a jerk he pulled off the cov ering. The captain stepped back horrified. The Uy had but one leg. His left leg had been amputated above the knee, and the stump was banelaged with rags, which were covered with blood. Jut then a fat little army Surgeon pnsseel in his shirt sleeves. "Ah, Captain," he said quickly 4 nod eiing at the drummer boy, "that is aa unfortunate case; a leg which coulel have been easily cured if he had not forced it in that mad way; a cursed in flammation, it had to be cut off at once. Oh, but a brave boy I as sure you; he didn't shed a tear nor utter a cry! On my wonl of honor, I was prouil that he was an Italian boy while J was operating, lie comes of a good stock," by Jovo!" Anel he hurried away. The captain frowned and lookeel in tently at the drummer boy, while draw ing the covering over him again; then slowly, almost without knowing it, and still looking at him, he raised his hand to his head and lifted his cap. "Captain!" exclaimed the boy in sur prise, "what are you doing, Captain? and to me!" Anel then that rough soldier, who had never said a gentle word to an inferior, replieel in an inexpressibly soft and af fectionate voice: "I am but a captain; you are a hero." Then he threw himself with open arms on the drummer boy anil kissed him. A Crowning Act of Cruelly. Women of the metropolis are in some instances very curious creatures indeed. The horse cars occasionally furnish striking illustrations of this fact. A middle-aged girl and a girl of girlish age were seated in a crowded horse car last night chatting in so loud a tone that at least one-half cf tho passengers coulel hear them. ' "Wasn't that really to bad about poor 3Irs. South.- said one of them "Why. I haven't heard of it. Please tell me," said the other. "Oh. haven't you heard of it? Why, dear me, I supposed everybody knew of it. You know the great trouble she had in getting a divorce from her bus- band." said the one. "Oh, yes, but she got it, didn't she?" asked the other, "Yes, but she had to pay. $400 for it. "But she ought to bo satisfied with that, hadn t she?" "Well, hardly; her husband, just to show how mean he coulel be if he wanted to, died the week after she paid tne S100, and she had all her expense and trouble for nothing." New Haven Regis ter. English Sparrow Ingenuity. At the city of Lafaj ette, two summers ago, some boys, in flying a kite, dropped it accidentally over a telegraph wire. whence the string hung several leet in mid-air. A female sparrow coveted the string to weave into her nest. She pecked at it several times, on the wing, unsuccessfully, and at last succeeded in getting one foot and leg entangled. It proved lo be a painful and precarious situation. In vain she nuttered and tried to escape. Her calls were soon answered by nearly a hundred sparrows, which sat in rows, chirping, occasion allv living down to the imprisoned bird near enough to catch the situation. At length, as if by preconcerted arrange ment, they started in a circle round the imprisoned bird. Each bird, with the certainty cf a well aimed-arrow, nipped the string with its bill. Finally the fifrins' parted suddenly. She flew to an adjoining building, where her mates and herself soon loosened the obnoxious string, and she flew with it to her nest, Miss Etta Graham, daughter of Ben- ,-amiQ Graham of Meriden, Conn, met -th a pcniiar accident.

An Exchange of Courtesies. There is a rawboned porter in one the wholesale houses on Front street who has, until recently, enjoyed himself at the expense of the pedestrian public on that thoroughfare. He had an unpleas ant habit of sorely bruising the shins of passing people with his truck, and then odcring an apology for the "accident." Yesterday the fun terminated very sud denly and disastrously for the porter. He banged the nether limbs of a promi nent member of the Olympic Club, who is very handy with his ft'sts, and immedi ately uttered his regulation : "Ibegyour pardon,' sir." The suffering pedestrian gathereel him self together, and straighteninghls good light arm, knocked the fellow half way ae io-s the street, and with the remark, "I beg your pardon, sir,'- limped on. It is safe to pass that store now. San Francitco Pott. THE JOKER'S BUDGET. THE CliOlCEST OF THE SAYIXOS OF Otti fc'VXXY MEN.
