 Dominion Lme of Stes ;».J I ;l- I, t V 1 Hi V t â-  I- 1' all direetioiu. Their fbg wm â-² BOUBIIIolklBOS. The only â- tzoD^.pooUon to â- ow VM Uie high toeky one on tbe hill. The three oompeniee of StafEordahiree irere reioforoed nj two more, uid with •ne tremendotu yell they ehaiged and hayoneted the enemy in all dUreefiona. The Boyal B^^andera then eharged from roek to rook, and completely annihi- lated the enemy. The enen^ nnmbeivd abont fifteen hundred, and they loat 660 men, kiUed and wounded. Oar loea waa three offioera and 13 men. Oar woonded waa 54 ncn-oommiiaioned cffioeraandmen. The troopa returned after burying their dead about 6:30 p.m. The Toyageura were not permitted to leave the surelw, but a few managed to get away and went ap and mw the fight. Lieut. -OoL Dennl- lon atood beaide the oaiinon, and auisted materliJly in sending some splendid ahota into the enemy's nnk«. Eighteen shell and six shrapnel were hurled into their rat k), doing great damage. Aa soon aa the battle was over the yoyagenra rushed eat of the zareba and made for the battle ground, where they reached in time to see the wind-up of the fight. They secured many valuable mementos in the alupe of funs, knives, swords, etc It was AW AWFUL SIGHT to US Canadians who had never aeen a battle. I can assure yon, to see the dead and injured in hundreds lying about waa something awful; and especially at the fort where Gen. Earle waa killed. It was a stone hut about eight feet tqnare filled with straw and thatched with rushes. Sixteen men tock up a position inside, when they saw they could not get away tiiey fired through the chinks at every one who came near. When the soldiers saw Gen. Earle tush forward and fall they aeemed to become crazed, they rushed in a body, surrounding the hut and firing into' the doorway. The shed took fire and all inside perished in the flames, but mot a noise came forth, not a sound to toll of the awful agony within, for above all things a true Mohammedan abhors one who sues for mercy. Not a cry came out of that awful pile of dying men, but each eontinued whUe life lasted to hurl death into the ranks of the English, till at last suffocated and burned, they died. ATTEB THE BATTIiE. After burying our dead we returned to eamp. The C»nadianB in little groups talking over the events of the day, and wondering if any more battles would take place before they reabhed clear water, for this rocky cataract sort of water is not the most desirable sort of place one would like to be fooling around in knowing the Mahdi'a followers lurk in rocky holes an- xious to pick off any unwary soldier or Eannck who wanders away too far bat they are all anxious to be armed and permicted to take part in the next battle, should there be one, as Lord Wolseley wants us for boating purposes, andnot to fight, we will have to stand back and look on. Russian Bo{?aery» 'Bu8sia has in its service but two hon- est men, yon and me," the Emperor Nich- olas once said to his son Alexander. If such a remark were jusfifiable half a cen- tury ago it would seem tiiat the country has made but little progress in either,of ficial or business honesty, whatever it may have made in other duections. Bob- bery goes on in eveiy department of the State, and permeates every branch of busi- ness. "Bobbery is the rule, honesty the exception," says a recent writer on Bus- sian affairs. ** No cheating, no sales," is one of the cynical proverb« of the coun- try, and the majority of the business peo- ple seem to hold it a fundamental rule that dishonesty is the only sure road to commercial prosperity, The revekitions at the trial of Bykov, once manager of the defunct Bank of Skopine, which took place recently atfthe Moscow Aasizss, illosfcrate this national dishonesty with startling emphaais. The extent of the depredations, the number ef years they had been allowed to go on aochecked, the number and churaoter of the people implicated in the robbery, the fact that the exposure was due to thia ef- forts of an obccure newspaper, and the necessarily rotten conoition of a eommur nlty in which such a robbery waa render- ed possible, all tended to give the case ah almost E aropean notoriety. The amoutft of the swindle perpetrated by the hank manager and his confederates wm reekoo^ ed at 12 000.000 rublea, or about $8,0C0,- 000. When, after two yeara of 1^ shuf- fling 'and delay, the conspiracy waa, at Iwt, exposed in open court, the figures, large as tJiey were, dropped into iniiignifi- cance when oompued with the aodal and p3litioal queations raised by this ezttaor- dinary trial. A Georgia fanner leased aoine land Ian year to a colorfd nun for a third of tb§. crop. A severe drought cut the erona short, and the negro ga^eted only two' bales of ootton and two wagon loada itt com. The latter was stmad and tha oofe- ton sold. When the laadlocd oalML for his share he waa told that there waanone for him. He aaked, in surprise,. '*Iidn't I rent you my land for a third of tiie o:op r '*Te8, bosa," said tha darkey, •'b'^t you aee dere was BO third. Data was only two balea of oottim and bwo loads of com all mine, and noffin for you by de contraob.** ihe mateh-nfe. Around the stock waa a ahort AhoDg of ladng leather whi ch m ade be taken loop, jtnti l»igaaDOiigbifi.iudd iwat.fiii-~ " gmofthecowbOT'ihaod. The other end of the stock termmatni iiLa tigering rvb- ber half an Inch in dihiMt«r at the thiek emland a qnertar^jio iath AlP Qk .» w y where there waa a little loop. A ateel spring ran Arongh the rubber to give it Btcength. Two feet of heavy leather, about the ilae of a aewing nuushinO band waa drawn half throoi^ the loop, thoa forming a dosUe laah. "People here do not know how to whip a horse," the dealer continued. "They ladi him under the belly and aeroaa the thoulden. The patient an^ mal at laat balka. If I waa a horae I wooldn't balk; I'd kick the stuffing out of everythh^K within a rod of me if I was whipped l3ce that. The cowboy is more peBsnaaive, He awimca the whip by that loop around the handle over two fingers of hla right hand, and swaying the whip across in front of him, brings hia hand down on hia left Up. The double laahee have an exhilarating effect on the horse'a hindquarters. On^ an anbn^en Mexi- can brondio would fall to appreciate that â- ort of treatment, and if he survived the application of six inch buzz-saw spun that would inunediately follow, he would never hesitate again when whipped on the quar- ters." Every Woman Knows Them. *^he human body is much like a good dock or watch in its movements if one goea too slow or tco fast, so follow all the others and bad time results if one or- gan or set of oi^iana works fanperieotly, perversion of functional effort of all the organs is sure to follow. Hence it ia that the numeronr ailments which make wo- man's life miserable are the direct issue of the abnormal action of the uterine sys- tem. For all that numerous class of symptoms â€" and every woman knows themâ€" there is one unfailing remedy. Dr. Pierce's " Favorite Prescription," the fa- vorite of the sex."
