L. 7 T was 7 o'clock on Cbrigtmas Eve, .nd the streets of tlie Lusy factory town of L were crowded with enger, excited shoppers. Sill's variety store was like a great bee hive, and the clerks were kept busy wrapping up dolb, trumpets, drums, toy pistols and other toys dear to the heart of child hood; while the buyers jostled and crowd ed each other good - naturedly, too thoroughly imbued with the peace and good will of the season to mind a dig in the ribs or a bruised toe. "Now happy everybody is!" ex claimed a bright-faced, middle-aged "womau, pausing a moment on her way past the store to look in. Then she drew her old plaid shawl closer around her and hurried on, the sawdust-filled limbs of a big doll dangling from a cumbersome parcel on her left arm. If she had paused a moment longer the might have caught the derisive, contemptuous sneer on the face of a young man who lounged in the open doorway, his hands thrust into his pockets and his soft hat pulled down over his scowling brow. His eyes fol lowed the woman in the plaid shawl until she disappeared in the crowd, and a short, hard laugh escaped his lips. "Everybody happy !" he muttered, "Yhat fool remarks some women do make!" A little girl passing before him just then droped a bundle ; but he didn't ptoop to pick it up for her. He wasn't in the humor to do a kindness for any one. All this Christmas excitement and hurry had filled his heart with anger and bitterness. In his pocket were his week's wages twelve bright silver dollars; but he didn't expect to spend a cent. There was no one to whom he felt inclined to carry even a dime's worth of candy, no one who expected anything from him. lie remembered Christmas Eve of last year. He and Nan had gono shop ping together. They had bought a woolen cape for old Mrs. BoBley, with whom Nan had lived previous to her marriage, and a trumpet for a littl? orphan boy Mrs. Bosley was "rais ing," and stockings and flannel for the Widow Wisk and her imbecile daugh ter. They had also laid in a stock of good things for their Christmas din ner, to which old Mrs. Bosl9y and Sammy had been invited, and had de liberated a long time whether to have plum pudding cr fruit for dessert. Nan hadn't been 6ure the plum pud ding would prove a success, for she had so little experience in cooking, and so, they had bought fruit. What fun it had been to buy their presents for each other ! Nan had made him promise not to look while ehe made a hasty tour to the counter on which were men's furnishings, and where she had bought a crimson lnuffier and two bordered handker chiefs. Then they had stopped at a jewelry store, and Nan had waited outside while he went in and made a mys terious purchase, which she found under her plate at breakfast the next morning, and which proved to be a plain gold ring. Heyser remembered how she had kissed him and told him it was just what ehe had wanted, for she had al ways regretted not having been married with a ring. The wind caught one end of the red munier around his neck and whipped it against his cheek, and Heyser flung away from the store door with an angry growl, the scowl on his face growing darker. He turned from the busy main street into one that was comparatively quiet, and in a few minutes vas at the door of the great, barn-like tenement house in which he had lived ever since he and Nan had quarreled and parted. That was nearly nine months ago, and he had never seen Nan since had never heard a word from her nor sent her a message of any kind. They had parted in hot anger ; he had told her she was a wretched cook, and he'd warrant she could spoil anything she turned her hand to ; and when she had replied that she wished she had never married him, he had rejoined that she didn't wish it half as much as he did, and that he could have had Sarah Humes for the asking. Nan had al wavs been a little jealous of Sarah, and this remark had fanned her anger to white heat. Recriminations and reproaches followed, and the quarrel had ended in his leaving the little house which he had bought on their marriage, vowing never to enter it again until Nan apologized. The next day he had 6ent a mes Benger'for his clothes, half hoping the apology would come instead. But it hadn't. He had felt angry at himself for searching all the pockets for a note, only to be disappointed ; and "-i had sworn to make Nan sick of her "blasted pride." He had left his place in Hinckle's store in Bridge Ci, where he had been employed sinci boyhood, and had gono to Li , to take a place in the iron works. And not a word had ever come from Nan. A bitter loneliness filled his heart as he entered his cheer les3 room with its carpetloss floor and curtainless window. The fire in the rusty little stove had gone out, and the cheap kerosene lamp on the wooden mantel gave only a sickly light. Heyser shivered and flung out of the room, muttering something be tween his teeth. It was too early to go to bed and he had lived so entire ly to himself during the prist year that he had no friends in the tenement house upon whom he could drop in for an hour's talk. What was he to do with himself? Walk up and down Main street, he supposed, and srse peo ple stare at him because he had no bundles. As he went downstairs he heard the Payne children laughing, and through a door that stood a little ajar saw them hanging up their stockings. Heyser's heart swelled with self pity, and he tugged at the muffler about his throat as if it were choking him as he went stamping down the bare, dark steirway. In all this Christmas festivity he had no share. There was no one to give a thought to him, no one of whem ho must think. And it was all Nan's fault. She had ruined his life. How could he help hating her? Why had she never sent that apology? Evidently she had never repented her share of their quarrel. Beaching Main street again Heyser "Christmas Conies But Once a Year. hesitated, gave a quick glance around him to see if any one were looking who might suspect his purpose, and then turned abruptly down a street that led directly to the river. He walked rapidly, with his head down, the collar of his coa,t high above his ears, and his slouch hat pulled down over his scowling brow. It wouldn't do any harm to go and give a look at his old home that pretty brown cottage in which he and Nan had lived for four short months. He had nothing else to do and he needed the exercise. j The wind blew stiffly as he crossed the bridge. On the other side a wo man was crossing in the opposite di rection. She had a shawl about her shoulders and wore a white hood. Hey ser remembered that Nan had worn a wnite nood on Unristrnus Jive past a year ago. The keen air had made her cheeks rosy, and given a sparkle to her black eyes. People had turned to look at her on the street, and he had felt proud of his pretty wife. He had not dreamed then that in less than three months from that time he and Nan would have gone separate ways. It was only a short walk from the bridge to the heart of Bridge City, and tho little brown cottage Heyser had bought stood on one of the steep, ungraded streets. He felt a chill sense of disappointment when he reached it and saw that it was dark and all the blinds were closed. He stood at the little gate and stared at the cottage for a long, long time. Nan had deserted it, of course, and it had stood empty all these months. He ought to have known she wouldn't stay there alone, and yet somehow he had always thought of her as keep ing a home there, waiting for him to come back. He was stiff and chilled when at list he turned from the gate and went slowly up the hill, with a vague idea of walking through the village before returning to L . Not that he ex pected to meet Nan that was most un likely. In all probability she had left Bridge City and was following her trade of dressmaking in some larger place. As he reached the top of the hill he saw a sudden tongue of flame shoot up from the roof of an old house which stood back from the street at some dis tance from any other. It was the home of old Mrs. Wisk and her weak minded daughter, and Heyser sprang forward as if electrified, wondering if any one were inside. As he approached the "gftte he saw the imbecile girl run out from the front door, and at the same moment the flames burst from half a dozen places in the roof. "Is any one in there?" shouted Hey ser, seizing the girl by the shoulder. She only whimpered and smiled in reply, and Heyser released her, and with one bound was at the door and had dashed it open. Before the wide, open hearth was a wickerwork carriage, and in it, staring up with bright Mack eyes, lay a baby perhaps two months of age. Heysersai3 Nan, laughing, though her eyes seized it in a rough but careful grasp! kwere fulL' of tear, and rushed out just in time, for thejj. Jerry lips quivered, and he ewal old roof fell with a crash behind him, allowed a lump in his throat. Then he Bending the sparks' flying over himViput his arms 'around his little wife and and his precious charge. The yard was full of people now who had come running from every direction, and .as Heyser staggered forward with his ,burden he heard a loud, piercing cry,, and a young wo man in a bis shawliand a white hood) sprang through the gateway and tore the baby from his arms. She wasf weak and almost breathless fromy frizht and her run up the hill. Heyser looked down at her, passing his hands over his eyes as if to clear Jj away a mist. "Nan !" he cried. "Jerrv !:' and around his neckewentf rem-uaaer ot tnat side ol tne banquet nnn rnnnd arm. while the other held:! ting hail, and a lot of rush mats on the baby close to her heart. Let's get away from here, Nan, said Heyser, thickly ; and he led her' through the gateway and down the' hill, paying no attention-to old Mrs. Wisk who ran after them, cryin i and wringing her hand3 rad saying she had gone out only for a minute to borrow a little molasses, and if the baby had been burned r he never would have forgiven herself never ! Heyser's brain seemed strangely confused ; but just at the base of the hill he stopped. "What did she mean, Nan?" he asked ; "and what's this?"' he asked, touching the baby. "Didn't you know?" she cried. "Oh, Jerry! I thought some one would surely tell you." Heyser shook his head. He couldn't answer her just then. Nan stopped at the gate of the lit tle brown cottage and drew the key of the door from her pocket ; but just as she put it into the lock Heyser threw both arms arms around her and strained both mother and child to his breast. "Oh. Nfl.n. T havA missed vmi Rn !"' he whispered, huskily. 'And to. thinV. time ! you've been living here all thisM "I knew you'd come-back, Jerry," she said, and then she drew him into the warm sitting room, stirred thei fire, put the baby in its cradle, andj then seating herseli beside him on. the old sofa gave him the history of the months she had spent apart from .j him. "I left baby with Mrs. Wisk while ; I went to L to leave a note for you," she said, as 6he nestled against him, her arms about his neck, and. her rosy cheek against his rough and bearded one. "I couldn't let Christ mas go by and not Jerry, we must never, never quarrel gain." "Never!" rejoined Heyser, ferv ently. "And now I'm., going back to L . I've got to buy you and the baby something for to-morrow. I can keep Christmas now as., well as other people.'' And any one seeing him coming across the bridge on his way home, two hours later, would almost have imagined him Santa Claus himself, so loaded down was he with bundles of every shape and size. Impatient as he had been to return to Nan and the baby which as yet he hardly realized as his own he had taken time to go to his lodging house for Nan's note, and he read the words it contained with eyes suspiciously dim. How gayly his heart beat as he tramped across the bridge ! How happy he felt ! Christmas was a glorious time 1 He didn't wonder people en joyed it ! And this time when he reached the cottage it was all aglow with light and warmth, and Nan met him at the door and exclaimed over the numbejp of his bundles, and laughed because he hacl bought the baby a drum and a toy engine. "But we can save them for him," she added; "and just come out into the kitchen, Jerry." Jerry followed her, wondering what, he was to see, and gave a little gasp of surprise when he found a nice supper spread upon the table and a delicious aroma from a coffee pot filling the room. "I've learned to cook, Jerry. Mrs. Bosley says I can't toe beaten at it lilrew her close to his happy heart. I his a Christmas, bum enough. Nan," he whispered, huskily. Inde pendent. Christmas in Egypt. They following Christmas experience in Efgypt is related by a writer in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. He iwas at the house of a Greek who was pppapently not a Croesus, ar the entire ''furniture of his cafe consisted of a stone-and-mud fireplace in one corner, a patm-branch divan occupying the the earthen floor. I took the place of honor on the divan, says the writer, and soon the Arabs commenced drop ping in and squatting on the floor. Our Copt had made so much noise that , he had awakened the whole village. It was Christmas Eve, or, rather, :jrnornmg, and 1 felt liberal, so I or dered coffoe and mastic for the party, and kept the landlord basy until I had filled the,whole lot a feat never be fore accomplished in Tel-el-Baroud. T began to feel hungry, and the land lord fished out from under the divan, ''which ulso served as a chicker-coon. -three squab3, which he killed, plucked, !broiled and served up on Arab bread. This bread is baked of unbolted flour in rofund cakes, seven inches in diame ter. It is hollow like a doughnut, and of about the consistency of heavy .blotting paper. After breakfast everybody went on ia hranting -xpedition. After their re tuitn they all went for their bath, e chaaige of clothes, then to dinner and such a dinner ! The bill of fare could scarcely be equalled at that season of the year in this country ; the little oysters from Alexandria Harbor (they were first planted there by McKillop Pasha, who was admiral of the Egyptian fleet un der Ismail Pasha), Eoup, fish from the Mediterranean, turkey, ham, ducks, snipe, fresh vegetables of every de- scnption, hgs, grapes. oranges, ba- nanas and the flaming pudding. English plum- Christmas Feasting in Old Times. There are certain dishes which are peculiarly dedicated by custom and tradition to the Christmas feast. The plum pudding is almost the sole sur vivor of a long list of equally savory ones. There was the boar's head, al ways the herald of the feast, and al ways seasoned with mustard. Next in importance was the peacock. The skin was carefully stripped off, with the plumage adhering ; the bird was then roasted ; when it was done and had cooled, it was served up again in its feathers, and, with gilded beak, was sent to the table. Sometimes the whole body was covered with gold leaf, and a piece of cotton, saturated with spirits, placed in its beak and lighted as it made its gorgeous entry. The noble bird was not served by com mon hands; that privilege was re served for the ladies most distin guished by birth and beauty. Geese, capons, pheasants, and pies of carps' tongues also helped to set out the Christmas table in days gone by. But while Christmas, as far as its eating was concerned, always had its special ties, its liquor carte was unlimited. An Old Christmas Custom. It was an old custom in Oxfordshire for the maid servants to ask the men servants to bring in ivy and other greens with which to decorate the house. If any man refused, the maids stole a pair of his trousers and nailed them on the gateway. As a still greater punishment, the uncomplying men were debarred from the privi leges of the mistletoe. As Usual. 1'Did any one remember you on Christmas Day?" inquired Jhaes. "Oh, yes," responded Smith, show ing a handsome collection of lately opened envelopes, "my creditors idid." REV. DR. TADIAGE.

But min eyes are unto Thee, O, God, tho Lord!" Tsalms cxli.. 7. Though you mny read this text from the Bible, I read it ns cut by chisel into the pe destal of a cross beneath whlcli lie many of the massacred at Cawnpur, India. To show you what Ilin looisra and Mohammedanism ronlly are, where they havi full swing, ad rot ns they represent themselves in a "parliament cf religions." and to demon strate to what extent ot cruiity and abom ination human nature may go when fully let loose, and to illustrate th hardening "pro cess of sin, and to remind you how our glorious Christianity may utter Its triumph over death an 1 the grave, I prea?h this my second sermon in the round the world series, and I shall speak of "The City of Blood," or Cawnpur, India. Two hours and ten minutes after its occurrence Joseph bee, of the Shropshire Regiment of foot, rode in upon tho C.iwn pur massacre. He was the llrst man I met at Cawnpur. I wanted to hear tho storv from some one who had been here in 1857 and with his own eyes gazed upon the slaughtered heaps of humanity. I could hardly wait until the horses were put to the carriage, and Mr. Lee. seated with in, started for the scene, the story of which makes tamo in contrast all MoJoo and Choctaw butcheries. It seems that all the worst passions of the century were to be impersonated by om man, ani ho Nana Sahib, and our escort at Cawnpur, Joseph Lee, knew the man per sonally. Unfortunntely there is no cor rect picture of Nana Sahib in existence. The pictures of him published in the books of Europe and America and familiar to us all are an amusing mistake. This is the fact in regard to thom : A lawyer of England was called to India for the purpose of defending tho case of a native who had been charged With fraud. Tho attorney came and so skillfully managed the case of his client that the client paid him enormously for hi3 services, and he went back to England, tak ing with bim a picture of his Indian client. After awhilo the mutiny in India broke out, and Nana Sahib was mentioned as the champion villain of the whole affair, and tho newspapers of England wanted a picture of him and to interview some one on Indian affairs who had recently been In India. Among others the journalists called upon this lawyer, lately returned. The only pic ture he had brought from India was a pic ture of his client, the man charged with fraud. The attorney gave this picture to the journa's as a specimen of the way the Hin doos dross, and forthwith that picture was nsed, either by mistake or intentionally, for Nana Sahib. The English lawyer said he lived in dread that his client would some day see the use mado of his picture, and it was not until the death of his Hindoo client that the lawyer divulged the facts. Perhaps It was never intended that the face of such a demon should bo preserved amid human records. I said to our escort, "Mr. Lee, was there any peculiarity in Nana Sahib's appearance?" The reply was : "Nothing very peculiar. He was a dull, lazy, coward ly, sensual man, brought up to do nothing and wanted to continua on the same scale to do nothing. Prom what Mr. Lee told me and from all I could learn in India, Nana Sahib ordered the massacre in that city from sheer revenge. His father abdicated the throne, and the English paid him annually a pension of $400,000. Wnen the father died, the Eng lish Goveramsnt declined to pay tho same pension to tho son, Nana Sahib, but the poor fellow was not in anv suffering fio.n lack of funds. His father left him $80,000 in gold ornaments, $500,000 in jewels, $390,003 in bonds and other resources amounting to at least f 1,500,000. But the poor young man was not satisfied, and the Ctwnour massa cre was his revenge. General Wheeler, tho Englishman who had command of this city, Hlthough often warned, could not see that the sepoys were planning for his dfstruc lion. and that of all his regiments and all the Europeans in Cawnpur. Mr. Lee explained all this to me by the fact that General Wheeler had married a na tive, and he naturally took her story and thought thero was no peril. But tho time for the proc amation from Nana S ihlb had come, and such a document went forth as never before had seen the light of day. I giv9 only nn extract "As by the kindness of God, and the good fortune of the emperor, all tho Christians who were at Didui, Poonah. Sattara and Othor places, and even those 5000 European goldiers who went in disguise into the for mer city and were discovered, are destroyed and sent to hell by the pious and sagacious troops who are firm to their religion, and ns they have all been conquered by the present government, and as no trace of them is left in these places, it is the duty of all the sub jects and servants of the government to re joice at the delightiul intelligence and carry on their respective work with comfort and ease. As by the bounty of the glorious Al mighty and the enemy destroying fortune of Ihe emperor, the yellow faced and n-irrow minded people have beun sent to hell, an 1 Cawnpur has been conquered, it is neces sary that all the subjects and landowner and government servants should be as Obedient to tho present government as they have been to tho former one - that it is tne Incumbent duty ot all tho peasants and landed proprietors of every district to re joice at the thought that the Christians have been spnt to hell, and both the Hindoo and Mohammedan religions have been confirms 1. and that they should, as usual, be obedient to the authorities of tiie government and never suffer any complaint against them Belves to reach to the ears of the higher iu thoritv." "Mr. Lee, what is this?" I said to our es cort as the carriage halted by an embank ment. "Here,'' he said, "is the intrench ment where the Christians of Cawnpur too'i refuge." It is the remains of a wall which at the time of the mutiny was only four feet high, behin 1 which, with no shelter from the sun, the heat at 130 degrees, 41') men, 660 women and children dwelt nearly a month. A handful of flour and plit peas was the daily ration, and only tvvo wells near by, the one in which they buried their dead, because they had no timoto bury them in the earth, and the other well tho focus on which the artillery of the enmy played, so that it was a ciioice between death by thirst and death by bullet or shell. Ten thousand yelling Hindoos outside this frail wall and 1000 suffering, dying people inside. In ad dition to the army of the Hindoos and Moslems, and invisible army of sickness swooped down upon them. Some went rav ing mad under exposure. Others droppel under nrolexy. A stnrving. mutilated, fevered, suustruck. ghastly fcroup waiting to die ! Why did not the heathen dash down those mu l walls an i the 10.031 annihilate the now less than 1000? It was tiecime they seemed sup -rnainr tiiy defen ie 1. Nana Saui! resolved to c.il ihrate an an niversary.

Th" T.ir t Pv I out fron the neavens, ana on tnat anniversary day gave the victory to His people. Therefore Nana Sahib must try some other plan. Standing in a field not far from the intrenohment ot the English was a native Christian woman, Jacobee by name, holding high up in her band a letter. It was evidently a communication from the enemy, and General Wheeler ordered the woman brought in. She handei him a pro posed treaty. It General Wheeler and his men would give up their weapons, Nana Sahib wsu'.d conduct them Into aafetr. They could march out unmolested, the men women and children. Thev eoul 1 go down to-morrow to the Onnz. where they would find boats to take them in peaco to Allahaba 1. There was sora opposition to signing this treaty, but ii-n r il Yn-.leir' w.'e to! I him he could trust tho natlTe,nd so he Binned the treaty. There was great joy la the lntrenehment that night. Without molestation they went out end got plenty of water to drink an i watt r for a goo t wash.

"Get into the cirr.i-," sail Mr. L, "anl w.i will ri 1 to th Km'is o! th Gangeo, for which the liberated 00 nhat.-inU an I uou-oo:n!:it.'ints ntart-vl fnvn this pl i v." On o-n 1, ,y Mr. L point-1 c .1 ;i i mtmt over the bun il p'ac 1 wn i.-li w is op -n I for General Wheeler's intrn hment, th well into whiali ev.rv nigiit the dmihil leen dropped. Aroua I it is a curioj memorial. There are five emu-, on nt each corner of the gir bm ,.u,i 0n at th centre, from which inscription I to- Uv re.t my text. i:i ling on we cam to the Memor ial Church built to the tm-norv of thmi fallen in Cawnpur. The will are cove re 1 with tablets an 1 epitapiis. I eojiie I two or three of the inscriptions r "These are they who come out of gre.it tribulation ;" also. "The dead shall bo raise I in -orriipti-.le ;" also, "In the world yes'ull have tribulation, but be of gooJ cheer. I have overvom the world ;" aiso, "T ie Lord gav . The Lord hath taken away ;'' also, "Co no unto M ', all ye that labor an 1 are heavy luden." "Get into the carriage," unM Mr. Lee, an 1 we ro ie on to the Gauges and got out tit a Hindoo te:iii!e st.andiag ou the banks. "Now," said Mr. Lee, - iierv i the place to which General Wlio-der and his people came under the escort of Nan:i Sahib." I went down the steps to tho margin of the river. Down these steps went Ge;vr,il Wheeler an I the men, women and children under his Care. Tliey stoo I on en si ie of the step-, and Nana Sahib an 1 hi start s'oo I on the other side. A the women were getting into the boats Nana Sahib objected that only the aged an i infirm wonvm an i children should go on board the boats. The young and at tractive women were kept out Twenty eight boats were filled with men, women ;ui i children au I floated out into the rivjr. Each boat contained tea armed natives. Then threo boats fastened together were brought up, and General Wheeler an 1 his staff got In. Although orders were g.?en to start, the three boats were somehow detaine 1. At thl juncture a boy of twelve years ot age lioiste 1 on the top of the Hindoo temple ou the banks two flag, a n in too an I a Moham medan Hag, at which signal tho boattnou and armei natives jumped from the boats nnd swam lor the shore, and from innumerable gnus tho natives 011 the bank fired ou the boats, an I masked batteries above and below roared with destruetion, an 1 the boats sank With their precious cargo, .and all went down save Ihreo strong swimmers, who got to Cue opposite shore. Those who struggled out ne ir by were dashed to death . Nana Sahib nnd his staff with their swords slasho I 1.; pieces General Wheeler and his st.alT, who had not got well away from the shore. I said that the young and attractive wo men were not allowed to get into the boats. These were matched uway under the guard of tho sepoys. "Which way?" I inquired "I will show you," said Mr. L'ie. Again wo took seats iq the carriage an t started tor the climax of desperation and diabolism. Now we are on the way to a summer house, called tho as sembly roo:n:i, which had been built for rec reation an 1 pleasure. It had two rooms, each twenty-nine by ten, and some windo w less closets, and hero were imprlsone 1 20ii helpless people. It was to become the pri son of these women an 1 children. Some of these sepoys got permission of Nina Sahib to take one or more of these ladies to tlndr own place on tho promise they should be brought back to the summer garden next morning. A daughter of General Wheoler was so taken an I did not rf-.turu. She after ward married the Mohammedan who ha I taken her to his tent. Home sepoys amused themselves by thrusting children through with bayonets and holding them up before their mothers in the summer house. All the doors closed and the sepoys standing guard, the crowded women and children waited their doom for eighteen days and night amid sickness and flies aud stench ua I starvation. The butchers cam out exhausted, think ing they had done their work, and the tioirs were closed, but 'when they were again opened three women and three boys wore still alive. All these were soon dispatched, and not a Christian or European was left in Cawnpur. The murderers were paid fifty cents for each lady slain. The Mohamme dan assassins draggod by tho hair tho dead bodies out of the summer house and threw them into a well, by which I stood with such feelings as you cannot imagine. But after the mutilated bodies haI been thrown into well the record of the scene remaine 1 in hieroglyphics of crimson on the floor nn 1 wall of the slaughter house. An eyewitness says that as he walked in the blood was shoe deep, and on this blood were tufts of hair, pieces of muslin, broken combs, fragments of pinafores, children's straw bats, a card case containing a curl, wlth-the inscription, "Ned's hair, with love ;" a lew leaves of an Episcopal prayer book ; also a book entitle I "Preparation for Death :" a Bible on thu fly leaf on which was written, "For darling mamma, from her affectionate daughter, Isabella Biair," both -he one who pres mted it and the one to whom it was presented de parted forever. Then Nana Sahib hrard that Ilavelock was coming, and his name was a terror to the sepoys. Lest the women anl children imprisoned in the summer house or assem bly rooms, should be liberate I, he or ler l that their throats should be cut. The offi cers were commanded to do the worlf and uttempted it, but failed because the law of caste would not allow the Htn loo to hold the victims while they were being slain. Tiien 100 men were or lerel to flr : t.irough the windows, but they fired over the heads of the imprisoned ones, and only a few were killed. Then Nana 8a bib was in a rage and ordere i professional butcher from among the lowest of the gypsies to go at tho work. Five of them, with hatchets and swords an I knives, began the work, but three of them collapsed an 1 fainted under the ghastlines, and It was left to two butchers to complete tho slaughter. The struggle, the sh trp cut, the blinding blow, the cleaving mrougri scalp an I skull, the begging for lifej. the death agony of hour after hour, the tangle 1 limbs of the corpses, the pile 1 up dead--only God and those who were iusi ie the summer house can ever know. I said: "Mr. Lee, I have hear 1 that in delicate things were foiml written on the walls." He answers 1 : "No, but these poor creatures wrote in charcoal anl seratcbel on the wall the story of the bru.alities they had suffero j." When the English and Scotch troop came upon the scene, their wrath vas so great that General Neill had th i butcher arreste i, and before being shot compelled them to wipe up part of the floor of thi Dlace ol massacre, this being the worst of their pun ishment, forthere is nothing that a Hln do; f-o hates as to touch blood. When Havelock came upon the scene, h had this order annulle i. Tuewell w is now not only full of human ho iis. but corpses piled onthe outside. The sol lier we.'e for mnv hours pnLa'ed in eovering the dead. It was about 5 o'clock in the evening wnen I came upon thl place in Cawnpur. The building in which the massacre took plfce has been torn down, and a garden of ex quisite and fragrant flower surrounds the f-cene. Mr. Lee pointed out to u some seventy mounds containing bodies or por tions of bodies of those not thrown into the well. A soldier stands on guard to keep the foliage and flowers from being ruthlessly pulled. I asked a soldier if I might taken rose as a memento, and ho handed me a cluster of roses, red and white, both colors suggestive to me the red typical of the car nage there enacted, and the white for the purity of those who from that spot ascended. But of course the most absorbing interest concentrated ot the well, into wnlch hun dreds of women and children were flung or lowered. A circular wall of white ma'ble inolos'B this well. The wall is about twf nty feet high. Inside this wall there is a marble pavement. I paced it and found it flfty sevea Daces around.

A movement Is contemplate I to securethe construction of light railways In remote dis tricts of the United Kingdom so as to bring farmers into closer touch with the markets. Present Board of Trade regulation made it all but impossible to build a railroad for lev than 50,MX or f.O,000 per mile, which I f raet leally prohibitive of the employment of Ines for the development of any particular industry. The Board ha arranged lor ft conference of trailers and municipal bodie to discuss how far present regulations mny be relaxed and whether additional legal facilities for obtaining power to construe tramways and light railways are desirable. In the west and northwest ot Scotland par ticularly, light railways would prove ser viceable in a variety of ways, but in none perhaps more than in advancing the fishing industry. There are districts in lrelan 1 and England where they woul 1 tie equally bene ficial. The promoters of the movement are very much in eurnest, since they believe that light railways would go a long way toward removing the pressure of foreign competi tion in certain directions.
