The Last of the Light Brigade.
There were thirty million English who talk-
ed of England's might,
There were twenty broken troopers who
lacked a bed for the night ;
They had neither food nor money, they hoe
neither service nor trade ;
They were only shiftless soldiers, the last of
the Light Brigade,
They felt that life was fleeting ; they knew
not art was long,
That though they were dying of famine,
the lived in deathless song.
They asked for a little money, to keep the
wolf from the door;
And the thirty million English sent twenty
pounds and four.
They laid their heads together that were
scarred and lined and gray;
Keen were the. Russian sabres, but want was
keener than they;
And an old troop sergeant muttered, " Let's
go to the man who writes
The thing on Balaclava the kiddies at school
recites."
They wont without band. or colors, a regi-
ment ten -file strong,
To look for the Master Singer who had
crowned them all in his song ;
And, waiting his servant's order, by the
garden gate they stayed,
A desolate little cluster, the last of the
Light Brigade.
They strove to stand to attention, to straight-
en the toil -bowed back.
They drilled on an empty stomach, the
loose -knit flies fell slack ;
With stooping of weary shoulders, in gar-
ments tattered and frayed,
They shambled into his presence, the last of
the Light Brigade.
The old troop sergeant was spokesman, and,
"Beggin' your pardon," he said.
"Yon wrote o' the Light Brigade, sir.
Here's all that isn't dead.
An' it's all come true what you wrote, sir,
regardin' the mouth of hell ;
For we're all of us nigh to the workhouse,
an' we thought we'd call an' tell.
" No, thank you, we don't want food, sir;
but couldn't you take an' write
A sort of to be continued' and ' see next
page' o' the fight?
We think that some one has blundered, an'
couldn't you tell 'em how ?
You wrote
we were heroes once, sir. Please
write we are starving now."
The poor little army departed, limping and
lean and forlorn,
And the heart of the Master Singer grew hot
• with " the scorn of scorn ;"
And he wrote for them wondrous verses that
swept the land like a flame,
Till the fatted souls of the English were
scourged with the thing call Shame.
They sent a check to the felon that sprang
from an Irish bog.
They healed the spavined cab horse, they
housed the homeless dog ;
And they sent (you may call me a liar), when
rebel and beast were paid,
A check for—enough to live on, to the last
of the Light Brigade.

' land's might,
Behold, there are twenty heroes who lack

house the charge of the Light Brigade.

THE UDF OF CAVALRY IN WAR.
The "Aeat#s hide" at *uonvillle.
The recent death of the .Russian General,
Bredow, has given rise to, acme exaggera-
tion in several loanable respecting his famous
charge, known as the ".death ride," at
Rezonville on the lith of August, 1870.
The real feats in the case derived from
both French and Getman sources are in-
teresting, principally in the illustration
which they -gave of the part cavalry may
still play in modern 'warfare, notwithstand-
ing all the modern im;?rovements in the art
of shooting. This :"heath Ride" and other
n
cavalry engagements during that battle
showed clearly enough that in spite of the
ehassepot and the needle gun, mounted
men in 1870 could still accomplish wonders
with comparatively little loss. It is quite
true that Bredow's brigade cut through the
French line of infantry, reached the artil-
lery, sabered the gunners, and passed on
towards the French cavalry ; but it is not
atrue that it struck that cavalry, which was
massed in front of it. On the contrary,
seeing that such an attack would be shear
madness, Bredow wheeled about, and once
more passed through the lines which he
had broken, and reformed at about the
same place from which he started.
This charge lois sometimes been severely
criticised, but his all Blown to the windaby
both Freach an.i Germ= evidence of its mar-
vellous result. "At about half past 12
o'clock," says a French writer, "our second
corps was weakening, and Marshal Biteable
sent out two squadrons of handers and cufras-
filers of the guard to cover the retreat, These
troops eame in contact with the Sixth divi-
sion of Prussian eavalry, which was sent out
in pursuit. In the shock our cuirassiers lost
22 officers, 208 men, and 243 horses, But
reinforcements came to us, and the Position
of the enemy became critical. Their third
corgis in particular suffered severely and be -
tame separated from the rest of the army
and fro'n its reserves. It was then that (:len.
Aiveneleben sent out Bredow's brigade,
which saved the Third Paussitn army corps
and paralyzed for the rest of the day our
Sixth corps, which up to that moment was
on the advance, but afterwards never
moved."
On the German side d Prins Haheulohe
says that the efleet of the cavalry charges of
the day, and especially late in the eveniug,
was te demoralize the French, who retired
"abandoning the field.of battle that had
been disputed all day ; while on the other
hand lllarahai Bazatine could not understand
such a daring movement except ()lathe theory
.hat itis advereaaries bad received consider-
able reinforcements, and that is•why he re-
treated at night and transformed this un-
decided battle into a German victory. If, in-
deed of allowing himself to he intimidated
and discouraged, B:uaine had attaeked us
with all his reserves, lie would have won
beyond a doubt a brilliant victory over the
Prussian army, inferior in numbers and ex-
hausted AS it was by the fight of the previ-
ous day."
When it fig remembered that Bazaaine in
this struggle was endeavoring to reach Mac-
Iifahon, tite importance of the cavalry action
which really tented tate title of battle, can
be easily appreciated.
It remains to be seen what cavalry can do
in the future with the increased difficulties
in store for it, in the shape of smokeless
powder and magazine guns.
Tea Culture in Natal.
Natal, South Africa, is now looked upon
as the great tea Noneproducingcountry of the
of the
ae tea hasetappeared
in this country. The firstlants were
brought from Ceylon in 1877. J. L. Hulett,
the pioneer, now has nearly three hundred
acres under cultivation, and his crop is from
eighty thousand to ninety thousand pounds
annually. His plant cost but $5,000. The
laud lies about one thousand feet above the
sea level, the soil containing as fair propor-
tion of sand and decomposed granite, vege-
table and other organic matter. Tho tea
farm is now open, level anis wellplouglied.
The rows are laic. out five feet apart, and
the plants are set four or five inches apart.
A erop is obtained atter the first year, and
increases up to the sixth year, when the
plant (natures, after which it bears for an
indeflnitepriod. Great care has been tak-
en to keep the ground loose and clear of grass
and weeds. The picking begins in Septem-
ber and continues every ten days until June
—twenty to twenty-two pickings in all.
Nothing could be done with the native help,
but coolies are plentiful, and are exclusively
employed. They are able to pick from
thirty-five to forty pounds of green leaves
daily. The crop is sold in Durban at from
eighteen to thirty-eight cents per pound,
fully twenty-five per cent cheaper that the
foreign product can be laid down for in that
market. The withering is done on large
floors, the leaves being laid thin and con-
stantly stirred by boys and girls. A hot
and dry temperature is needed. The roll-
ing is done by machinery, and has the effect
of breaking up the juice cells. The ferment-
ing process is the most particular of all,
and upon it depends the quality of the pro-
duct. The drying is done by hot revolving
cylinders. The sorting is accomplished by
the use of seives, the top one containing the
lowest grade of tea.
Better be King over a tribe of semi -sav-
ages where all look up with feelings of re-
spect and homage, than live in the blaze of
civilization in the presence of a rival whose
greatness would enshroud in perpetual eclipse.
Soseems to have reasoned Emin Pasha, whose
return to Africa was so unexpected, especial -
in England. Of him the National Zeitung
states "that he could not assent to Stanley's
desire to exhibit him in Europe like a rare
animal." Not unnaturally he would feel
such an inferior position, and though, no
doubt, he world attract as a side show at-
tracts many curious ones, the great crowd
would still gaze upon the intrepid explorer,
and for one shout for Emin there •would be
fifty for Stanley. Ambition caimot live on
such food as this ; and Emin is evidently
ambitious.
Lieut. Ryder will leave Denmark with
eight comrades as soon as the ice on the
east coast is likely to be in the most favor-
able condition for his reaching the mainland
He will take supplies for two years, and a
steamer will notg o to bring him away until
n
the summer of 1892. The identaLtions
89of
the east coast, judging from the discoveries
of Holm and Koldewey, increase in size
toward the north, and Ryder will probably
find it an arduous task steel rat a1y to map
the intricacies of the coastline. No one has had
more experience than he in this sort of
exploration, for he has long been engaged in
the admirable surveys that Denmark has
carried out on the west coast. During the
best sledging seasons, in the fall and early
spring, he hopes to make some extensive
sledge journeys.

Robert Ross, a Panhandle brakeman, who
had an arta and leg crushed by the cars at
Cincinnati, the other day, has died from his
injuries. Before he died he said : "I knew
it was going to happen, because I dreamed
tThursday night. I was then dozing on the
lop of a freight and I dreamed that I was
I.urt just as 1 am now, only it was just a
dream, and now it ain't. I remember how

eine cut off and I bled ever so much, and
I thought that I was going to die, and then
felt so ie 410 sent and turned over and I
awoke."
