The action had now continued for nearly three hours, and the British for:e had been reduced by casualties, to less than twelve hundred officers and men, and its situation seemed perilous in the extreme. It could no longer be a matter of doubt-that they had to contend with the entire American army. But relief, though long delayed, was now close at band. After the original order of march had been countermanded, the troops encamped at Twelve Mile Creek and remain- ed quietly in their quarters until afternoon- Then the order was received from Gen. eral Riall, directing a portion of the force to advance immediately to his support by way of DeCew’s Falls and Lundy’s Lane. This meant a march of fourteen miles under a burning sun. Col. Scott instantly obeyed, taking with him seven com» panies of his own regiment, (the 103rd,) seven companies of the Royal Scots, Lieutenant Colonel John Gordon, five com- panics of the 104m, Capt. R. Leonard, and a few picked men selected from some of the Militia battalions in camp, under Lieut.- Col. Hamilton, yet owing to the weak state of too companies, his entire column did not muster more than 1,200 of all ranks. This force was accompanied by three 6-pounders and a Sl-iuch howitzer, under Captain Mac- konochie. The advance-guard was already within three miles of the field of battle when they were met by an orderl bearing a second despatch from General Biall, an- nouncing that he was about to retire upon Queenston, and directing them to retreat at once. They had retraced their steps for nearly four miles, when the roar of cannon burst upon their ears and theyewere over- taken by a second messen er, summoning them to the scene of con ict.

The troops destined for the result of the battery, composed of the lst U. S. Infantry, Colonel R. C.

These battal- ions lllustercd upward of 1,400 bayonets. The position occupied by the '1st U. S. In- fantry, forming the centre of their line, compelled their regiment, fresh from a tour of uneventful garrison duty in the distant frontier posts on the banks of Mississippi, to climb- the slope in the face of the point- blank fire of the British guns, while Miller's and McFarland’s commands moved ob- liquely upon the battery from either flank. Scarccly had it begun to feel the effects of the artillery-fire when this regiment gave way, and before it could be rallied by its oflicersdlud retired a consider- able distance in much disorder.

V‘v’llile on the track he heard some rustling in the long grass not far from where he was. Looking ill the direction from which the noise proceeded, he observ- ed a large panther moving slowly along in the grass. He levelled his rifle and fired. The panther fell and dragged himself a few yards, and lay there groaning. Going close up to the spot to see what effect his shot had had, Mr. Prideaux saw that the panth- er had been very badly hit in the stomach. He made sure that the animal was dying, but suddenl the wounded panther jumped up, charged . r. Prideaux, and sprang upon billl. Mr. Prideaux aimed a second shot at his head, but in the excitement of the mo- ment he missed his mark ; the bullet struck the panther in the hind leg, shattering the bone. To save his throat, Mr. Prideaux put up his left arm which the panth- er "scized, and man and brute rolled over. The panther mauled Mr. Prideaux’s left arm very badly. Fortunately he had a plucky native hunter with him. The latter stuck his spear into the panther's t'lroat and pinned him to the ground. This gave Mr. Prideaux the opportunity of re- gaining his feet, and having got up, be seized his rifle and soon des atched the animal with a third bullet.

A murder of a most sensational character was discovered at \Varsaw on Friday night. A bullet girl named Josephine Gnrlach was found at her lodgings in Uspolna Street with terrible wounds on her head and body, the injuries having evidently beou inflicted by some heavy blunt instrument. The poor girl's cries attracted attention, and a woman who was seen escaping from the house was pursued and arrested. She proved to be a lady of position named Boguslawa Brezicka, and in her pocket was found a heavy ham- mer with blood and hair clinging to it. She also had a dagger, and in her pocket was a ; sum of four thousand roubles. Brczicka, 3 who is 45 years old, is married and the mother of four children. It is alleged that lshe was on friendly terms with the ballet girl, and the police version is that robbery was the motive for the crime, but on the other hand there are certain circumstances .pomtlng to jealously as being the factor set in, and the arm began to mortify, buti which brought about the ohtrage. Gerlach by the latest accounts the patient was doing died from her injuries soon after being well. The whole of the soft part of the found. upper arm and a. part of the biceps muscle have been cut away, the wound being about Sin. long by 3in. broad. The Output of the Royal Mint- According to the report of the Deputy Master of the Mint for 1891, the Coiuage Act of last session has proved a very im- portant step towards placing the general res- toration of the gold coinage upon a satis- factory footing. Although thc issues of sil- ver coin in 1891 fell short of those of either of the two preceding years, they were still considerably above the average ; while the exceptional demand for bronze coin experi- enced in 1890 was maintained uninterrupt- edly during 1891. The total coinage was, however, much less than that of 1890, there being nearly a million less coined of gold; and of the £6,723,648 of gold coinage £543,- 942 only was. in hall-sovereigns. A large increase is noted in the number of colonial coinages executed, and during the year im- perial and colonial coins of 31 different de- nominations were struck.

Up to this point their advance had been unobserv- ed by the artillerynlen,lvhose attention was rivetted upon the batteries below. Halt- ing there for a moment, they fired a single effective volley, and rushing forward, gain- ed the summit, but with heavy loss. A few gunners still clung desperately to their pieces and were buyonctted while striving to reload, and the battery, which had been worked so effectively against them was in their possession.

Nearly at the same instant, Ripley came up with the 23rd, and the lst, having re- formed, advanced to their support. Rip- ley‘s entire brigade was thus massed on a very narrow front, on the south side of Lundy’s Lane, tween the church and the Quecnston road. Scott’s brigade, with the exception of the 25th Infantry, was rapidly brought forward and look past on their left, while Porter’s volunteers distantly en- gaged the flank companies of the 10th, and the wing of the Royals. Miller‘s mOvement had been at once to rapid, unexpected and successful, that the British guns were l'n’ his possession before the infantry in rear had time to advance for their protection. These detachments then hastily advanced to recover them, but after a very severe contest were repelled with hcavy loss. At short range, the cartridges of the Americans, containing in addition to the ordinary bullets, three large buck-shot, were particularly effective. Lieutenant Fraser, on whom the command of the Royals in this part of the field had devolved, was wounded, and the survivors of his detachment rallied around the colors of the 89th. The 103rd being ordered to advance, marched in the darkness directly into the centre of the enemy’s new position, and were first made aware of its mistake by a crushing volley, which threw thcmintogreat disorder. While the struggle was in progress for the possession of the hill, the American artillery limbered up and advanced to take up a new position upon the summit, In the attempt, they met with sudden and unfore- seen disaster.

' custom, the hookah is passed round to each in turn, it is considered very bad manners for any one to decline to have a few puffs. If the hookah is thus refused in a friend’s house, or while one is the guest of another, it is regarded as an insult. If, for any rea- son, a native is put out of caste, the fact is strictly marked by his former caste-fellows’ refusal to smoke with him ; and any one who eats, drinks, or smokes with an out-caste is ' himtelf out-casted. . It is curious how, while the Englishman who speaks of " smoking ” tobacco, the lChinnman and native of Bengal speak of “ eating ” it, and the native of Northern India speaks of “ drinking ” tobacco, thus indicating that they regard it as one of the necessaries of life. Tobacco grows freely in India, which may account for its cllenpnesa and universal use. l A Big Trouble. The great sciatic nerve, when disturbed, can give more pain than any nerve of the human body.

Mr. Gosse, in his “ World of Wonders,” relates the following remarkable story of a beetle, and gives ingenious comparisons : “ The three-horned beetle husjust astonish- ed me by proving . its wonderful bodily strength. When it was first brought to me, having no box immediately at build, I was ata loss where to put him until I could find time to kill and preserve him. At last a happy thought struck me. There was a quart )ottle of milk sitting on the table, the bottom of the bottle having a hollow in it and large enough to allow my prize to stand erect in it. I soon put him in his glass case prison and turned to my work. “ Presently, to my great surprise, the bottle began to move slowly, and then grad- ually settled down to a smooth gliding motion across the table. I instantly divin- ed the cause. it was being propelled by the muscular pOWer of the imprisoned insect beneath. The weight of the bottle and its contents could not have been less than three and a half pounds, while the weight of the beetle could not have been any way near a half an ounce. “Thus I was watching the strange sight ofa living creature moving 112 times its own weight under the most disadvan- tageous circumstanccs.
