'Listen to me, Herr Schönleben, said Schweinitz roughly, 'and hear my fixed determination. Our illustrious prince and lord, John George of Saxony, has entrusted to me, George Hermann von Schweinitz, the defence of this city of Freiberg, with orders to hold it to the last man. That being so, I stand in no need of advice from you, either now or at any other time.

His blood flows in my veins; but for him I should never have existed. So I say again, let me die rather than kill him. 'We can easily manage that, said Schweinitz angrily. 'All such talk as this in war-time is so much rubbish. Bah!

'Not a bit of it, my dear Schönleben, I assure you, replied von Schweinitz, laughing. 'The Swede has received his answer some time since, and there was not the smallest need to trouble you in any way about the matter.

'I had not noticed it, answered Schweinitz carelessly, looking down at the splash of blood on his coat. 'Possibly a chip of masonry or some ball that has glanced aside may have grazed my hip. The Swedes have paid for it dearly enough, anyhow. With a brightened and almost joyful heart Schönleben took leave of the commandant.

Meantime, I made visits to my colleagues of the diplomatic corps, and found them interesting and agreeable as it is the business of diplomatists to be. The dean was the German ambassador, General von Schweinitz, a man ideally fit for such a position of wide experience, high character, and evidently strong and firm, though kindly.

Pray, what is to happen when you and your soldiers are all killed, the citizens and other combatants worn out with their excessive duties in this bitter weather, the walls destroyed, the gates taken by storm, and the Swede bursts in at last to put his threats into execution? 'What! cried Schweinitz, astounded by this sudden outburst.

'Well, what do you say? are you willing to do it, or not? inquired Schönleben and Schweinitz together. 'This is no question of a reward, said Roller. 'You command, and I obey. 'You are a fine fellow, said Schönleben heartily; 'and I will myself give you a couple of ducats extra if you do your business satisfactorily.

George Edmund de Schweinitz' Paper on Concerning Non-Surgical Measures for the Reduction of Increased Intra-ocular Tension Discussion, Milwaukee. It seems almost useless to attempt any discussion of Dr. de Schweinitz' most terse and comprehensive paper.

'I trust, said Hillner respectfully, 'that your excellency will pardon my being here, instead of under arrest where I was placed. I shall now hasten to give myself up again. But that I am at least no traitor to my fatherland, this wounded hand may surely bear witness. 'My dear Defensioner, replied Schweinitz heartily, 'the enemy may commence their grand assault at any moment.

'He cannot come, continued Jüchziger, 'because the orders of Commandant von Schweinitz forbid it. They are every instant expecting an attack to be made by the Swedes, and the commandant has ordered every man to remain at his post. 'Ah, of course! That is quite a different thing, said Schönleben, as his angry brow grew smooth again.
