The China war had collapsed and the Iiidiin mutiny had broken out. As a result we were ordered back to Calcutta in great haste. \Vhen we reached Calcutta the 8th Madras native cavalry had inutiiiied against going to llengal, and we were asked to volunteer for service.

I’re- vious to going up the country we were-sent out a short distance to a riding school at Diun Diiin for a couple of weeks. There were there about 600 men and 400 women and children. One morning as we were sitting down to breakfast the bugle sudden ly sounded the rally and we all hurried out. Then the bread was hastily collected and destroyed, and we were told it had been poisoned. Had the. bugle sounded five minutes later it would have been all up with us. “ “'ell, the chiefbaker and five of his assistants were arrested, and, as they couldn't give a satisfactory tccouiit of how the poison came in the br -ad, we hanged the six of them. All the explanation they could give was that some one must have come in the bakelzouse and put it in the dough, but that was all rubbish and they deserved their fate. '.

The bridges had all been destroyed and we had aiiiinibcr of encounters with bill robbers, but we finally reached the scene of the most atrocious massacre of modern days without mishap. You will remember that it was at. Cawnpore that General \‘v’heeler, after a brave resistance, laid down his ,arms to the Scpoys, on condition that he and his men, with the women and children, wore to be allowed to depart. uninolested. Nana Sahib agreed to the terms and the soldiers Were about getting on the boats in the river when the niiitineers fell upon them, and massacred the wholebravoband. Only three men escaped, and they did so by swimming the river, and hiding in the bush. 'i‘hc woiitcn and children were detained as prison- t‘l‘s until at the apprrmch of the llritisb troops Nana Sahib ordered them to be slain and their bodies thrown into ii. deep well. A monument today marks the site of the slaughter at the well. This barb-nous order was carried out. and when we reached there a few weeks afterwards the place presented it gloom ' and a terrible appearance. It. is . said that by order of Nana. Sahib an English minister and a llonian Catholic priest were hanged face to face and then thrown into the ; well, along with the women and children.

An exciting scene was recently witnessed . on the I‘aukowcr Cliaussec, outside Berlin. ', \Vhile thousands of Sunday excursionists ; were on the road to I’ankow, Sclioniiausen, ; and Schonholz, a carriage and a pair, con- ; faiiiiiig a lady and one child, passing along, nearly came into collision with a bicycle, the Ei'itler of which rang his bell loudly. The 3 horses, which were very rcstive, took fright and bolted, scattering the ot passengers I, right and left. The coachinan completely I lost control over the animals, and in a very ‘ short time both he and the servant sitting be- } side him were thrown from the box. A Edragoon who was in the crowd bravely at- tempted to stop the horses by catching at ‘ their reins ; he succeeded in seiznig the ‘, horse’s: cinucarcsthim,buttliespeedat which '; hey were going was so great that the man f was thrown down and dragged along the ': road for several yards. When the soldier i was picked up it was found thathis uniform ‘ was torn to pieces, and that he had I received two or three serious bruises. ; The horses nieaiitiin rushed on, strik- ' ing a cab and kneel-ting several foot i passengers down. A new danger now , presented itself. The carriage reached a ‘point in the road which is crossed by the Stcttincr Railway ; the barrier was already 1 in the act of being lowered to allow the ex- ? press train that was in sight to pass. To the onlookers the destruction of the carriage iand its occupants seemed inevitable, as it E was certain that at the rate the horses were ' going they would dash through the. barrier : into the railway line. The animals" fright K van increased by the screams of the lidt‘i‘ified spectators ; and it was only when they had . arrived within a. few yards of the line that two policemen sprang into the road ; one of l them seized the liorses’ reins, while the other tore a red flag out; of tho signalinan’s hand and waved it in front of the animal’s * ,hcads, by which means they were brought ‘ to a siaiidstill just as the express swept by. V The owner of the carriage, a French countess, and her little girl, were taken out, and found to be quite unliiirt. The lady, with (in extraordinary amount; of courage, had not moved from her seat, and in spite: of her narrow c:-:J:‘ seemed quite calm and collectâ€" ed. She unmixed to present a large. sum of money to her preservcrs, who, however, re- fused to take anything, saying they deserv- : cd no reward ; they had only done their duty. + l A 311301: of War.

Msgellan's first Amerimi! port, writes Ed- ward Everett Hale. in the August. Ha;- W's probany remember, the western desperado who a year ago robbed the post-office at Hillsboro’, Trail county, Dakom, and‘after- wards shot down in cold blood a detective by the name of J. ll. Stufford, who attempt- ed to arrest him after his escape from the robbery. Stufl'ord was a companion of Stevens, who had a brotherly affection for the brave detective who had shared his dangers on hundreds of cases, and who had saved his life more than once wliilshunt-ing evidence against the Blind Pigs and illicit distillers in the territory during the year of 1838. Detective Stevens was so grieved at the death of his com nion that in addition to the five hundred ollars’ reward offered by the Caledonia authorities, he added five hundred more, and throwing all business aside set out himself in quest of the murder- er, with the full determination of bringing THE SCOCXDREL TO JI‘TTICE even though it. took five 'cars and all of the little fortune he had laid 13'. The despemdo had plenty of Uncle Sam's money, and the detective made up his mind that. he would have a long chase, but he went at it and stuck to it with bulldog perâ€" states and territories on false scents, through some lucky chance he managed to locate a woman in the state of Michigan with whom the outlaw was still, as in former times, deep- ly infatuated. Ily scrapingan acquaintance with her he soon located liisnian at Sarato- ga from to secure. He arrived at Saratoga Just in time to miss him, but again located him in New York city, for which place he immediately :bought. a ticket. , Arriving there, he frequented the race courses at the seaside resorts, and after patient watching, ran across his man at Coney island. The man was so changed that he was not sure of his identity and fol- lowed him ou his return to the city. Arriv- ing at Brooklyn lie'took the King’s county ele 'ated road and stepped off at Flatbush avenue, closely followed by Stevens. The follow started across the track, which is against the rules there, seemingly with the intention of catching a. passing train for the other direction. This decided the dot etive who quickly intercepted him, and in the struggle which followed Stevens was shoved through the trestle work to the street below which laid him up at the King’s hospital at Flatbush over three weeks. As soon as he had partially recovered, 'he pluckily con- tinned the long chase again locating him at Montreal.

After thirteen days spent in this bay the squadron resumed its voyage of discovery. They looked in at. the great estuary of the River La l’lata. but Solis. who had lest his life there, had already discovered that this Was not a passage to the Pacific. Still coastâ€" ing southi 'aal they sighted and pcrha s landed on the Islande Penguins and tie Island of Sea Lions, and there were struck by a terrible storm. Not far from these islands. on the shore of the continent, they Magellan determined to winter. Magellan made his ships secure at the shore, built a forge'and storehouse and some huts for barracks, and established a little observatory. where Andres San Martin determined the latitude at 49 degrees 18 minutes. Longitude in those times they could not well determine. \Vhile they were thus occupied a little party of natives appeared, and after some. friendly signalling one or more ofthem came on board. Magellan directed a sailor to land, and to imitate every gesture offhe. first who appeared, as atokeu of friendship. The man acted his part so well that. the gentle savage was propitiated and readily came to an interview. On this or another occasion six Indians consented to go on board the flagship. Their Spanish hosts gave them a kettle-full of biscuitsâ€"enough for twenty men, in the Castillian measure cf appetite. But the hungry Indians devour- ed it all. Two, at least, of these visitors .wercof unusualsize. The Spaniards only came up to their girdles. But, as thecliild- ren‘s books say, these were “friendly giants. ” One of them saw the sailOrs throwing rats overboard and be 'ged that he might have them forhis own. Afterward he regularly received the rats caught on board the ships as a daily pci‘qiiisite. llcfore their voyage vas over Magellan’s sailors were glad enough to follow his example and to date these fellowwoyagers on their bill of fare at the rate of a du at apiece. , ' This party of sixâ€"and a party of nine seen at another timeâ€"~which may lit ve in- cluded part 0 i all of the first six, are all of the natives whom Magellan and his men ever saw. Of these, it seems certain that) two at. least weic very large. All the In- dians wore large shoes, which they stuffed with straw for warmth. From this custom lvllc Spaniards gave them the name of l‘ata- goiis, meaning in Spanish those who have large feet. When Magellan Was about to sail be determined to carry the two giants home as curiosities. It was impossible to overpower either of them in fair contest, and he resorted to treachery, which can only be excused on the theory of the Spaniards at that) time than all these savages were to be ranked among brutcs, over whom Christian menhad certain special rights. The two friendly giants being about to leave the ships, Magellan loaded them with presents. Ile gave them knives, mirrors, and glass trinkets, so that. their hands were full, then he oll‘cred to each a chain. They were passionately fond of iron, but co’uld not. take the chains from very einliari'au'snicnt of riches. with their full conscnt, therefore, Magellan bade the smith fasten the chain to their legs by tho manacles which were attached to them. “'hen it was too late the. poor giants found, as so many wise men have found, that they had accepted too many presents, and that in their very . . discovered the Bay of Sandulian, and here sxstency.
