Selections from Roman History
k Literal Translation from Entroplus
by C. MacLean, Ph. D. War
With Pyrrltns.
(Continued) ;
At the Eame time war was declared
against tbe Tarentinea, who are now: in
Lower Italy, because they wronged the
ambassadors of the Romans. They (the
Tarentines), asked Pyrthus, king Of
Epirug, wh claimed his pedigree from
the family of Achilles, for aid against
the Romans. lie soon came to Italy,
and then, for the first time, the Ro
mans fought with an enemy beyond the
sea. Against him was lent Publius Lae
vrnus, the consul, who, having captured
the scouts of Pyrrhus, ordered them to
be led through the camp, to be exhibited
before all the army, and then to be dis
missed, in order that they might report
to Pyrrhns everything that was done by
the Romans. Then, having joined bat
tle, Pyrrhus, although he was already
fleeing, conquered, by the aid of his ele
phants, which, because they did net
know them, the Romans greatly dreaded.
But night put an end to the battle; nev
ertheless, Laevinus fled by night.' .Pyrr
hus captured eighty thousand Remans
and treated them with tbe highest cour
tesy. He also buried the slain.- When
he saw them lying dead with stern couu
tenanceB and with their wounds in front,
he is said to have lifted his hands toward
heaven and to have exclaimed : "If .it
had been my good fortune to have such
soldiers, I could have been master of the
w hole world." -
May Receive Bounty.-
In certain circles it is claimed
that there is au eld federal law
that was enacted shortly, after
the civil war whieh grants every
volunteer a bounty of $192. It
it declared that this law was Beyer
repealed, and, should such prove
to be the case, the boys of this
county, who saw service in the
Philippines, will fee the means
of bringing a good many hun
dred dollars to old Beiton. A
recent issue of the Cincinnati
Inqnirer contains the following
dispatch from New York:
It has been discovered by a
lawyer of Brooklyn that every
volunteer who enlisted during
the Spanish-American War is
entitled to bounties aniaantiHg
to $276, provided for by a Fed.
eral and state statute, passed
many years ago. The state
bounty law provides for the pay
meat of $84, and the Federal law
$192 to each volunteer;
It will be seen that . $84 re
ferred to in the above . paragraph
Is the sum of the Bounty paid by
the state of New York. Should
there be any truth in the claim
that th,e volunteers of the Span-
sh-Amencan was will receive a
bounty af $192 each, it is esti
mated that tha payment of the
claims will cost . the federal gov
ernment $5,000,000. It is claim
ed that the discovery of . the old
laws was made by aocident while
attorney was looking over
some old federal statutes.
Miss Wolfe.
In a recent interview,
Miss
Wolf, the Reader said:
Yes J enjoyed eultnred Boston,
immensely, and ijs places of in
terest are unlimited, but the 6ne
place where I never tired f
visiting was Salem St.
You know this is where Ganst
Church stands and from its tower
shone the liffht warning Panl
Revere and the patriots that the
British, troops ware to march, t
Lexington and Concord; furtaer
on is Faneuil Hall 1 -The Cradle
ef Liberty." -
HoweVfir, interesting as these
are they were not the cause ef
my frequent rambles in this
vicinity but here it is that the
forlega element exists, Italian
venders, Russians, Poles and
what not, and here I came to
stndy the street urchin or gamin,.
as Hug has perpetuated him in
Les Miserables.
Tha feature "that thrusts it-.
self npon the eye f tie visitor is
the swarm f children; Children,
children, everywhere, m the
corner df some dismal wall, in
the middle of the- streets, play
ing rnnmble-peg, marbles, squab
bling for pennies, itjespsnsible
birds let loose and happy. .
These little fellows are not
Sunday school boys, tor they
swear like troopers, are eqaal to
Talleyrand ia repartee, know
thieves and robbers and withal
have nothing bad iu their heart.
