Thinking his only safety was in flight, he made his escape as fast as he could, but not without receiving a ball in his elbow, and several through his clothing and cap. His horse was killed, and Col.

Each leaf is embellished with a beautifully illuminated border, exactly surrounding the space required to attach a bank-note. When any distinguished visitor arrives he is requested to place his autograph to an unsigned note, which is immediately pasted over one of the open spaces.--One of these volumes is quite full, and the other nearly half full. They are thus illustrated by the signatures of various royal and noble personages. That of "Victoria Regina" does not appear; but these of Napoleon III., Henry V., the Kings of Sweden, Portugal and Prussia, a whole brigade of German Princes, Ambassadors from Siam, Persia, Turkey — the latter in oriental characters — and some of our higher nobility. Though there are some scientific names, as Arenburg and Chevalier, there are but few of our literary celebrities. Among them I observed those of Lady Sale and Mahomet Ali, the Pacha of Egypt.
