The Last Charge of the "Old Guard."
A STUDY.
Hark to the ominous roar in the distance!
List' to the rattling clatter of drums! .
To the sturd v tread of the laboring steeds
As they tug the mounted cannon !
Hark to the brazen bugle s blast !
The measured step of the martial force,
1 hat nearer now approaches !
Hear the huzzahs! see the pennons!
By all the gods 'lis Blueher!
Now or never! now or never!
Now for France and NaTKleon !
Low hung the sun of Austerlitz
Adown ihe fated sky,
While all the world in stillness stood
And trembled for the die!
What though he knew hiscour.-e was run,
What though lie viewed the fatal sun
Verging on defeat !
He called his own, his chosen guartlr
So oil en hurled against the foe
And never liul-lct in vain:
So often crowned with victory
His noble courasiers!
liotiuding forth with sword in hand,
" Forward ! " was his stern command
"Charge the Prussians' leveled gun !
Charge the squares of Wellington !
Mount the batterv s walls of name !
Snatch from fate the wreath of fame !
Charge to deathless victory !
Charge for France's glory !
My guard my own my chosen !
Charge for Franco and Napoleon ! "
Loud and high was their acclaim
Of.the mandate thus that cam e
From the topmost peak of fame
From their loved Napoleon!
O'er the (ield in swift career
Charged each valiant coiirasicr;
Through the battle's sable smoke
Like the lightning's flash they broke;
Fearing not the bristliug steel
Nor the murderous cannon's peal
Sounding forth destruction!
Forward like the tempests blast:
Boldy on they rode and fast;
Rolling like an avalanche,
Bursted with a thunder crash!
'Gainst the squares of Wellington !
Staggered ueath the mighty blow
Rallied formed and charged the foe;
Surging waving to and fro,
.Neath the cannons sweeping lire !
Though they knew that all was lost,
Glorious in their proud despair
Charged in vain the circling host!
Rallied rushed into a square
Courting but a glorious death
Vowing each to perish there
Never to surrender!
O, the God-like heroism!
0, the high, enthusiasm!
O, the valor here displayed!
By Napoleon's "old Brigade"
In its dread annihilation!
Future ages long shall tell,
Of the heroes here that fell
On 'immortal Waterloo!

the vast wealth of the country. "We
are the richest country on the globe,"
they assert, "and the protective tariff has
made us so;" and then they present us
with a bewildering array of figures tow
eriug up into the billions to show how
prosperous the land has been under the
protective policy ot tne last twenty-six
years. In 1862 we had only 32,000 miles
of railroad; now we have 150,000. In 1SG0
we had onlv $200,000,000 deposits in savings-banks;
now we have $1,100,000,000.
In I8o0 we had 2,044,000 farms; in 1880
the number had increased to 4,008,000,
and at the present time it cannot be less
than 5,000,000. All this they tell us has
been brought about by the protective
policy as if the industry, enterprise and
patient hard work of the ieople had no
thing to do with the matter.
It may be admitted that the country is
rich, and growing more rapidly in wealth
than any other country on the globe.
But the people have made it so, not the
tariff. It has thrived in spite of protec
tion. That policy has drawn enormous
wealth from the twenty-nine agricultu
ral States and concentrated it in the
nine favored industrial States; and it is
in the latter the affluence that excites
the admiration of the high-tariff advo
cates is most conspicuously. illustrated.
But, they tell us, the agricultural
States have grown rich, too. They also
have prospered under protection. See
how the firms have multiplied in the
"W est and Northwest, and 6ee how rail
roads have been built in Illinois, 'Michi
gan and Wisconsin; and the States and
Territories westf the Mississippi, even
to the Pacific,-aud how this vast region
lias been subdued to settlement.
All true. But who owns these farms
and railroads in the Western States? In
one word, who owns the West? The
people of the West, it might be answered.
But the answer would not be true, as a
few indisputable figures will sufficiently
prove.
- First, as to farms. In 1880 there were
138,500 farms in Kansas, 256,000 in Illi
nois, 194,000 in Indiana, 247,000 in Ohio,
185,300 in Iowa, 154,000 in Michigan, and
434,300 in Wisconsin making a total of
1 309,100 in the seven States named. Re
cent statistics collected by Granger asso
ciations and printed in farm journals
make the following exhibit of farm mort
gages in these same States :
Kansas ................. 1235,000,000
Illinois 1,000,000,000
Indiana.. .. 635,000,000

Iowa oo, oou,ooo
Michigan 500,000,000
Wisconsin
357,000,000
Total .4,521,000,000
These figures arc so startling in their
enormity as to seem incredible. We do
not vouch for their accuracy. They pre
sent the 1,309,100 farms in seven Western
States as encumbered with an aggregate
of four and a half billion mortgage in
debtedness, or an averago of over $3,400
for each. The assessed valuation of
property in these States in 1885 was as
follows:.

of these mortgages arc held in the East-J
era industrial Staten.
Next as to railroads. In the seven
Western States named there were, in
1885, 37,000 miles of railroad, with stock
and bond account land net earnings as

j only a very small fraction oi xnetr values

of the Iowa railroads commissioners
states that only onel out of forty stock
holders in Iowa roads lives in the State,
and onlv one-seventieth of the capital
stock is held in the State. In Illinois a
similar condition of things prevails.

is owned in Illinois; of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi stock, only
ly otie-half of 1 per J

wc may safely estimate that of the 19,000
miles of railway in Illinois, valued in
stock and bonds at $740,000,000, the peo
ple of Illinois, own ft per cent.; the other

As Illinois is called the most prosper

States of the Westj it may be inferred
that the other States arc m no better
condition than it in the matter of rail
road ownership, aiid therefore it may be

fact is that their farms are fast passing

Her method with dosri was tiecnliar
and most have been hereditary, as she
had had no training. When sbe ob
served a dog near her she would
thrust out her head, draw one foot out
of sight and drop her wings. If the
dog advanced to attack her she would
spring into the air by a quick move
ment of her wings, and catch the dog
by the end of the nose, using the foot
that had been hidden under her breast
feathers. On this she supported her
eg r
weight, steadying her body with her
wings and threatening either eye that
should open. I witnessed her encoun
ters with two small lapdogs, and large
fighting black and tan bull terrier, and
a very large buu English mastiff.
E ich dog gave up on his third experi

disappeared from town. No one knew
where they went to. The terrier ran
to his master's blacksmith shop, where
he retired behind the forge.

When the Boston and Providence
Railroad Company was chartered, Mr.
John C. Dodge, of Attleboro, conveyed
"P1""" "l ",a ;"., w
that he and his family should ride free
over tne line as long as tne lauu was
use I for ra'lwjy pur,xses. A grand
daughter of Mr. Dodge now claims
that she is entitled to the privilege
named in the deed, and that the word
family meant "decendants" of the
grantor. The railway company de
murred on the ground that the remedy
of the plaintiff is at- law, and not iti
equity. Judge Allen, however, has
overruled the demurrer, and expressed
an opinion that under the deed the
Boston and Providence Railroad Com
pany would be required to carry free
the descendants of Mr. Dodge for all
time.
