Stenger Ordered All to Be Slain. Washington, Oct, 26. --The 'French Embassy to -day. issued the following statement: "Th o report appeared in the press soma timo ago, according to which General Stenger, commanding a bri- gade 01 'tho German army in France, had issued an order to his troops pres- eribing to them to finish the wounded. '"An official statement' from Ber- 3M, via Sayville, was issued thereupon, declaring that this was an untruth. "The atrocious order ;lad, neverthe- less, really been given and carried out, and proof of it is in the hands . of the French Government. Over twenty German prisoners of the 112th and 112nd regiments of infantry (forming the Stenger brigade) are now held in France, at Mont Briton and St. Etienne. They have declared, under oath, before the Magistrate, that this order was actually issued on the 26th of August, and that, in accordance with It,. all the French wounded found that day were at once despatched.

"Then get ready, dear," said Mrs. Melliss. Molly called the nurse to bring the children atter her, and then ran up- stairs. "Oh, how fortunate you have been, Mrs. Melliss, to gain her consent to go to London without exciting her sus- picions that anything was wrong, and without tampering with truth, either!" said Rachel, as soon as they were (alt alone. "Ah, yes, Rachel! But what am I about to do? To 'keep the word of promise to her ear, and break it to her hope.'" "It seems cruel, Ind unavoidable. She must be at home before she in told," said Rachel. "Yes, she must. She mast be under her father's protection, and in reach of medical assistance; for I warn you, Rachel, that this great sorrow will go very hard with both her mind and her body," sighed Mrs. Mettles. She had no time to add more, for just at that moment Molly en epsd, followed by all her children, the nurse carrying the youngest baby. "I was not long, was I? Fortunate- ly,you see, the children were all dressed to receive their father. And I had only to put on their WillpS," said, Molly, pleasantly, as she en- tered. The children crowded around their Fairy Grandmother, and,,seized her hands and skirts, and wanted to know if she were not going to take them to Cinderella's palace. Rachel Wood called them off, and took them to the brougham, where they were all, with some difficulty, crowded in. Mrs. Melliss and Molly followed the children into the car - siege. Rachel Wood and the nurse were left to shut up the house and to follow In a hired fly that was to be sent from the Family Hotel. The drive back to town was, to the children and their Mother, a journey full of glee. The children romped and laughed and babbled, and jumped and turabled about over each other and over their Fairy Grandmother to their hearts' content. • And their mother laughed to see them. In due time they reached London, the West End, and finally Charles street, and drew up before the banker's residence. The fly, with Rachel and the nurse, came up almost at the same mo- ment. Mrs. Melliss led her stepdaughter into the house, and installed her in- to a handsomely furnished suite of daughter sat, eagerly expectant. "Your father, my dear," ehe said. Molly sprang up at ran, and then stcs, Ifer father came to her, put Ins arnte • around her, and silently folded her to Itis breast, "PAW" he =tenured, hissing hira —"dear papa, though I cannot say I am Sorry for having married My poor Charley, yet I eau say, with earnest truth, that I am very, very sorry my marriage should have no displeased you. You forgive me, dear pape?" "I forgive yon front the bottom of my heart, my own dear daughter." "And my poor Charley! You forgive him, too?" "I forgive him with all my soul." "Then where is my Charley? Lurk- ing behind, I suppose, SO as not to Interrupt our Met meeting! Poor Charley Is always so considerate in thee little matters, But you will let him corao in now?" The hour had come in which she must be told 01 her horrible bereave- ment, Yet neither the banker nor his young wiEe could summon courage to tell her. She looked from one to the other, and saw that there was something 'withheld from her knowledge, "Where is Charley? Why does he not come in?" she inquired, in a slightly tremulous tone. "My dear child, your husband did not return with me," said the banker, gravely. "Not return with you! Oh, why! Is anything wrong with my dear Mare ey?" • "Corae and sit down, my darling," sal - the banker, leading her to a sofa, and placing her between himself and itis young wife. "Oh! 'why don't you answer my question? Oh, papa! what is it that you are keeping from me?" Mid cried, in a piteous voice. The banker covered his face with his hands, and his young wife wept. "Heaven of heavens! What a you both mean? What has 'happened'? Is Charley ill? Is Charley—oh, !eta -heart! --is Charley—dead?" Her father took her in his arias and tried to soothe her. Her stepmother kneeled down be- side her and begged her to try to be calm. But she declared she knew some terrible calamity had befallen ]ler, and she insisted upon knowing -what it Was, Then they gently, tenderly told her the terrible truth. And here I would willingly draw a veil over the scene that followea. Poor Molly had never in her life possessed the least self-control. And now she abandoned herselt to the wildest anguish and despair, ending in strong convulsions. Her father laid her on the sofa, and her • stepmother loosened all her clothes, The household was aroused, and a physician was summoned. And she was conveyed to bed, and by medical advice she was put under the influence of a strong narcotic, that finally gaze her agonized spirit rest. The next morning, while the young widow was still sleeping under the in- fluence of enorhpia, the body of her husband was brought to the house and laid out in the front drawing room. That forenoon the letters from poor Faulkner, mailed from Paris by Fitz - John, his absconding second, arrived. Mr. Melliss laid carefully .aside the letter addressed to his daughter. Then he opened and read the one written to himself. And if he had never for- given poor Charley before he must have done so now. On the fourth day, while Molly was still very ill in bed, the funeral took Place. Before the coffin was finally closed, the young widow, at her own earnest prayer, was lifted, out of bed and carried to the room wbere the dead lay, that she might taho a last look at all that remained of her gay and handsome Charley. spare rooms.

And then Angela would have per- suaded Molly to go to bed, in the faint hope that she might go to sleep, and thus escape hearing the bad news till morning.

Weeks passed before she could be persuaded to leave her own room, or take an airing with Mrs. Melliss in a carriage.

And though the- learned coun- sel for the defense might pretend to say that his, the prisoner's, hand never fired the pistol that wounded Colonel Brierly, yet did the law hold him guilty of that -demily aesault, in- asmuch as he was confederated with the wretches who made it. Ana he hoped that both judge and jury woad ao- their duty by panishing with the utmost rigor of the law a crime that was known to be fearfully on the in- crease—and so forth, and so forth, and so forth. At the ond ot his' opening sPeeeh, the counsel or the crown called the witnesses. The first who took the Stand was the *widowed Mrs. Faulkner, wine, weeping* bitterly, gave her evidtaice regarding the robbery, which bore very 'heavily upou tho little prisoner. The next wiiiiette was John Briggs, a man who had seen Benny io Qom- pany with a suspicious -looking indi- vidual at midnieht on the night of the robbery. and who had heard the pri- soner give his comnanion particular directions how to find and enter the house. by it door that he, the prisoner, had left open. This evidence was still harder on the little accused. And the severest cross-examination ot the witness by the counsel for th.e defense did- not tend to weaken it in the least degree. The third witness was Mr. Riley, who had come to Captain Faulkner's assistance, and had helped to carry htloieuseev.ounded Colonel lerlerly to the He teitified to these facts, and also to the confused condition of the house, several of the rooms of which bore signs of forcible entry, and also the absence of Benny from the bed where he usually slept. This wittiest; was al- so cross-examined without effect. The last witness was the detective who arrested the prisoner, and had found upon his person a little gold thimble, which was here produced and identifiedeee the ,property of Mrs. Faulkner. When these witnesses had all been examined and eross-examined, • the counsel for the crown summed up the evidence kr the prosecution and called upon the jury to convict the prisoner. But then Mr. Freefield, engaged by Mrs. Melliss as counsel for the ac- cused, arose for the defence. Of course, he went over and politely contradicted all that the counsel for the cream had stated concerning his client. • He begged the gentlemen of the jury to look upon that poor child in the dock, and see if they could find in his fair face and open brow any signs of that hereditary depravity and person- al guilt ascribed to him by the learn- ed counsel for the crown. This bo; had been a most unfortun- ate and pitiable child from his very birth—a worse than orphan, cast upon the tender mercies of the thief and murderees who had brought him up, and yet who, thief and murderess as they were,. were much less culpable than the unnatural parents who had given this fair child life, and then abautioned him to his fate. He would prove that this boy, so far from being the "monster of juvenile depravity" he had been called by the counsel for the crown, had been, from his infancy up, gentle, obedient, kind- hearted and generous. Even in still tenderer years he had 'worked, and begged when he eould not work, to support an aged woman and a sick gillt Would prove that, while the boy had been in the service of Captain Faulkner, he had been the affectifene ate companion and protectorabf the children but little younger than hint - self; and that when he left their ser- vice he did so in fear and horror of their guest, who had terrified him with threats; that he could have had no share in the rebbery with whiela he stood charged, He would prove further, that while the boy was in prison he had been per-, teeny gentle, docile obedient and anxious to please. And finally the ad- vocate said he should confidently ett- Peet, from the gentlemen of the jury, the acquittal of his young client. Then the couneel for the prisoner called the witnesses for the defenee. T.here 'were Jeremiah Juniper and his Wife, Jett Juniper; Riche!

(Kingston 'Whig) Prosperity has, to some extent, spoiled some Canadians. They have lived high and aecustomed themselves to expensive tastes. It hurts their feelings to have to adopt economies, became they are real- ly neeessary. It exalts, however, the one who is wise and willing to profit by kind advice. Plain food, plain clothing, and plain living, generally, benefits all classes of the people of this particular time. and the sooner all classes become reconciled to it the better. A PATHETIC BLUNDER. (Woodstock Sentinel -Review) The most pathetic mIstalce of all. oar - baps is to speak of the stimulating bless- ing of war as a law of development. To- day thero are several millions of men representing' the picked manhood of several countries engaged in the "stimu- lating" exereise of destroying each other by every means which modern ingenu- ity can clevitee. The present indications are that the slaughter may continue for many months and that the losses in dead and mined will be appalling.

(Rochester Post -Express) The weakness of tee German system is that, while the people are the state in the sense that they are a unit in its wars, they have not yet secured the right of deciding when they will fight or what they will fight for.

(Philadelphia Record) According to a writer itt The Army and Navy Journal who finds /nude to ad- mire in German militaryism, instead of It "being something that should be wip- ed out, it is something that should be 'imitated closely by other nations, not ex - excepting our own United States." This probably represents the 'VIM of the pro- fessional soldier, who doubtless unpon- sciously, is too often influenced by the honor and promotions that war brings to officers. So Inc as the ordinary citi- zen is concerned, there has-been nothing in the conduct of the present war that commends German militarism to him as something to be imitated in this coun- tny. bQflN8ZTOROK. %tuber in Mexican Oil Yields Lights Stuvouncling Country4 idauo.mass svutnesat or sego, use uov'elLv see:e:tuirtteupi 4144fewier u10444 4"04.7:41t4;t44144: nuauteueUL.teel. 1110 to.444i4 AlAignst '74itiwinoutiwule Wt 00460.4:441.iitooSe taelrytelea. hue t BOW wa 41,ritok6 &boat taroo 7 "...m4amtetee".

The beet natured and most rigidly disciplined man may thus easily be transformed into a ruffian whose unbridled passions may lead to ex- cesses that no sane man would be guilty of.
