But when the mind does give way, when tbe light of hope is succeeded by tbe blackness of darkness, the hitherto carefully controlled energies of extetenoe find Tent along the hideous highways of murder, suicide or shame. There is small doubt that Lcocatia Harrington, who took her own life the other night at her apsztments in Hew York dty, was mentally irresponsible when she committed the awful deed. The tragedy was the culmination of a reckless career. Yet that easser waw a abort one, for the girl eloped her earthly account at tbe age of 23. She defied authority from babyhood. Her father was an officer in the United States nary, her mother a woman of excellent character and antecedents. Her home at Baltimore had every charm that modest means could command. Despite this, however, Lao, when but a child of 7, ran away with a circus. Tbe strollers taught her to dance, and after she left them at San Fpwdsoo she went on the stage as a child actress. When IS she returned to Baltimore and appeared at Ford's theatre. Next she eloped with an actor, and found herself on her sixteenth birthday a deserted mother.

Hale and Lottie Mlddleton, of Newman, CaL, were lovers. They quarreled, as lovers sometimes; do, arid parted. Soon Hale married, and Miss Mlddleton became the wife of Pen") McDowell. The two familial lived not far apart and the members met frequently, although they were not on the bst of terms. Remembering his old affection for another, Mrs. Hale was not exaetly angelic in ber treatment of her husband, and he, as time went by, attempted to heal the breach that separated him from hie loet sweetheart. Mrs. McDowell received him as a friend, but swiftly resented- any suggestions incompatible with her wifely honor. Not long ago Hale, as the neighbors say, "got queer in his toad." Then came the tragedy. One evening as Mrs. McDowell sat by ber fireside amusing ber baby boy with shadow pictures some one fired a shot through the window, and the poor young woman fell deed. Besides the child there were with her at the time her mother, husband and two brothers. As soon as they had recovered from the first shock they ran out, but failed to find any trace of the assassin. Daylight brought a clew in the shape of footprints. The murderer wore No. 5 high heeled boots; so did Hale. The murderer who made the tracks was weaker in his left than In his right leg and favored the feebler member; the same conditions obtainwt with H*]? .So ananicinn reated on him, and when be was found wandering about in an aimless manner officers took him into custody. To add to the somberneas of the situation, on the day that he was arrested Mrs. Hale prematurely became a mother. Another home mode desolate by insanity it that of Jesse Higbee, a prosperous resident of Meade couuty, Ky. A few weeks ago he had an affectionate wife and four bright children. Now the little ones are the sod, and Mrs. Julia Higbee raves behind the bars of a lunatic asylam. During her husband's absence the woman brooded over certain suspicions until the dark cloud of madness settled down upon her mind. Then calling her little ones aboqt her she gave them food in which arsenic had been mixed. She watched their agonies with indifference, and smiled as one by one tbey breathed their last.

The jury acquitted her on the ground of insanity, und her mental failure being thus established the law consigned her to the living tomb provided for those whose existence has ceased to have any save physical features. A queer case is that of Mrs. Maria C. Maguire. She lives in Brooklyn, and is the wife of Rev. Hugh Maguire, au Episcopal clergyman. Some years ago she loped with a man named Douglass. He treated her badly, so one day she got him drank and fled to New York, where she found refuge in the House of the Good Shepherd.

Some days ago the people of New York city were regaled with particulars of a thrilling romance in real life. The principals to the affair were Count George Urmoy, grand chamberlain to the Austrian emperor, the count's wayward daughter Virginie, and a hopelessly wicked housekeeper. v1hgi.vik 8zirmot.

While I in the very maelstrom of his mad career be met a beautiful adventuress named Marie Pol&ka, and installed her as mistress of his lordly palace. After a while the unlawful, union ceased to charm him, and in 1888 he sent his daughter to a convent and gave. Marie Polska notice to quit. The woman, tearfully acquiesced and disappeared. Bat her heart was bitter, and she plotted vengeance. Going to the convent she secured possession of Virginie, and took ber to America. Arrived at New York she surrounded the girl, then 16 years of age, with thai vilest associates, and soon had the fiendish i a 1 i K.,,1 ?? ' joy Ul UCT ftruw ?? amu ao ww nw??v of her companions. Some weeks ago th* frantic count, who had been hooting hi*' child, for months, reached New York, and engaged the services of a United Stiites deputy marshal, who located both the exhousekeeper and the depraved countess. The tale of shame poured into the haughty Ssirmoy's ear so affected him that he boarded the next steamer for home: Indeed, his grief was so great that he even forgot to pay the marshal for his time and trouble. Meanwhile the public had been told in pathetic phrase the woes of the count and the degradation of his daughter, who refused to seek the paternal arms because it was "too late." Marie Polska was also exploited in the flueet style of the literary art. Now it transpires that Szirmoy is no count at all, and never held a position at the aristocratic Viennese court. He is a postmaster of a small village, and daring the last twenty years has visited America twice, both times making the voyage to and from Europe in the steerage.

A Paiuge Cat Through Twenty-throe j Feet of Masonry by Which Morgan and Fire of Hie Officer* Got Free and Scaled the Prison Wall. ![Copyright by American Press Association.] HE escape of Mor- j - If*1 Krajf Kan, the raider, j from the Ohio ty rli penitentiary in p "r November, 1863, i 11 was a bold break "Tett d for liberty. The I Wj V mid upon which tfrrr v Ti ^ was engaged ' tab, when captared wvf was the most daring undertaking during the civil H war' aD<* Gen. i Morgan was a i f noted fiohter and , leader whom an f-v' enemy would much prefer to guard in a strong prison than to antagonize in the open field. The , state of Ohio claimed Morgan and his offi- ! cers as offenders against the commoni wealth because they had been captured while raiding within its borders, and the military commander of the department, Gen. Burnside, turned them over to be treated as felons. The party, to the number of seventy, were accordingly placed in ; confinement in a wing of the penitentiary where the cells were set in solid masonry bo as to form an interior structure, like a ! huge cage built in a large room. The cells were in five tiers and Morgan was on the second tier, and those who ultimately escaped with him were on the first. The | doors of the cells were iron grates with j bars an inch and a quarter wide and half : an inch thick, placed two inches apart each way. Morgan's men were not allowed to come in contact with civil prisoners. They were marched out across the prison yard to their meals, and were allowed daily exercise in. ! the alleys running around their cells. The : hall, as the room containing the cage wap called, was under special guard. A turnkey was constantly on watch, two military sentinels patrolled the room alongside of the cage, the prison guards, warden and deputies made rounds of inspection, and , no communication was allowed with any persons except the keepers unless military j guards were present. Between sundown ' and sunrise the raiders were securely locked in their cells. They were not permitted to ; have newspapers and their correspondence was subjected to censorship. Under these circumstances men of spirit naturally take great risk to breathe the air of freedom, and the raiders began to speculate on meaus of escape. One of the officers, Capt. Thomas H. Hines, after some j study came to the conclusion that there t must be au air chamber beneath the floor of the room, and on consultation with Morgan, Hines and five others of the same rank resolved to open a hole through the floor. They began work on the 4th of November with two steel case knives, and afj ter cutting out six inches of cement and ! several layers of brick found a chamber i underneath, six feet wide and four feet high. This chamber extended to the end of the wing. The preliminary work had been done with great secrecy. Hines' cell was selected to operate in, and the opening was made in the back part, underneath his iron cot. The material taken out wa,s first placed in his bed tick and afterward removed to the chamber below. In order to avoid the eye of the scrub, Hines secured permission to clean his own cell as a means of exercise. The air chamber was found to be too strongly waned in to offer a means of escape, but it proved an excellent place for Becret labor in tunneling, and the plan was confided to several men of the Morgan party not included among those who were to escape. While others were working in the chamber below, which was during the day, of course, when the men were allowed the liberty of the whole room, Hines sat in the door of his cell deeply engaged in reading. This had been his favorite pastime before the tunnel was commenced, and was a successful device. By a system of signals made with raps on the floor Hines was able to give notice when any of the guards or keepers were in the vicinity and likely to overhear the work. But with all precautions there were narrow escapes from discovery. The prisoners I were taken to dinner in squads, and one I day a squad was summoned out of the usual order, while one man of the number was in the tunnel. The name of the missing man was called out persistently, and Gen. Morgan, who happened to be in the hall, said promptly to the turnkey, "He is lying down in my cell; he is sick." Then the general began to talk with the turnkey in a very flattering manner about a protest he thought of submitting to the authorities, and in this way beguiled the nnwary fellow until the missing man got out of the tunnel and fell into his place. The work was Anally completed, after cutting through five foet of foundation wall beneath the cell, twelve feet of cemented filling and six feet of outer walL Four feet of earth was removed to make a place of egress. As the men to escape would be confined at night in their separate cells it was necessary to open passages from each I A RSCONXOFTKRIKQ RCSE. . cell into the air chamber. This was (loue ; [ from uuderneath, and a thin shell of the | floor cement was left in place so as to de| ceive the cell inspectors. The tunnel led no i farther than the prison yard, and around j this wa.?a wall twenty-five feet high, which the fugitives must surmount in some way. For this purpose a rope was plaited from bedclothiug torn into strips, and a stove poker supplied material for u stroug grappling hook to secure one end of the rope to tho top of the wall. Another nice point was to spy out a place to scale the wall, for it could not be seen from the prison win-' dows by men standing on the floor. There chanced to be a ladder iu the hall used for cleaning the ceiling, and one day when it stood in front of a window Gen. Morgan made a wager with a warden that a certain nimble man of his party could mount the long ladder from the under side hand over hand. The feat was'permitted | and was successfully done, and at the same i time the active prisoner reconnoitered from j i the top of the ladder the surrounding out- j side. When all was ready Morgan and the Ave > fortunate men chosen to accompany him ! were provided with plniu citizen's clothing j and some greenbacks, all of which had ! been smuggled iuto the prison through \ friendship and bribery. A southbound , train was known to pass Columbus at 1:15 ; a. iu., and it was decided to escape immediately after the midnight round of the guard and reach that train. On Nov. 26 Morgan learned that a prison inspection would soon take place, and it was arranged to go out on the first dark night thereafter. : The night of the 27th was cloudy and was chosen for the start. But here another nice point had to be gotten over. Gen. Morgan's cell was in the second tier aud had no passage to tho air chamber below, but the cell 1 of his brother. Col. Richard Morgan, hjul j been prepared for him for this special oc- 1 casion, and when the warden ordered *ho j prisoners to their cells on the evening of j the 27th, the brothers, who were of tha i same stature, exchanged places and walked ; iuto the cells selected, with their backs to i the doorway. The warden turned the bolts j of the gratings without noticing tho do- i ception. A few minutes pust 12 o'clock the six : men assembled in the air chamber nerved for the next encounter with whatever J should oppose their flight to Dixie. The 1 only weapons they could command were the case knives that had been used in dig- j ging, and which had become worn down j to the shape of dirks. A few inches of I earth was all that lay between them and the prison yard, and when that was reach- ' ed it was found to bo raining. The guards j had abandoned their exposed beats on the j prison wall and were hugging shelter in out of the way nooks to escape the storm.' The fugitives mounted the wall by the aid of their rope and grappling hook and entered a convenient sentry box to exchange their telltale clothing for the new outfits which were to furnish a complete disguise. From the wall they desoended to the ground by their rope and landed within sight of a party of prison guards, who stood around a fire absorbed in conversation. Gen. Morgan and Capt. Hines then separated from the others, went Btraight to the railway depot, purchased tickets, and entered the Bouthbonnd train. Morgan took his 8eat beside a Union major who happened to be on board, and immediately entered into conversation with him as the best means to ward suspicion from himself. The train passed along under the prison wall, and the talkative major exclaimed to bis fellow passenger, "There is where the rebel Morgan is for safekeeping." "Yes," replied Morgan, "and 1 hope they will keep him as safe as he is cow." When the train neured Cincinnati Morgan and Hincs jumped off, not wishing to "hurry up, major" run the guntlet of prying eyes in the city in case the fact of the daring 'escape had been promptly discovered and wired abroad. In truth, however, the jail break was not discovered until after daylight on the 28th, for the cots oi' each missing man had been planted with ^serviceable dummy to deceive the wardens on their rounda Seen through the cell gratings the cots appeared to have the usual occupanta The two chief fugitives crossed the Ohio at Cincinnati in a skiff und were soon among Kentucky friends, who furnished horses aud guides. They would need to traverse the whole of Keutucky and part of Tennessee before they would be clear of the Union lines, aud of course the region was alive with hostile soldiers. Friends of the fugitives could ouly aid them in secret In a few days they had good pistols, money fresh horses, and also cattle whips to dls guise them as drovers. After traveling nearly two weeks they came upou a party of forty of Morgan's command that had been cut off during the raid north and hud remained in hiding. Morgan decided to resume his true character, and with this re-enforcement marched tg the Tennessee river below * Kingston. There was no boat at hand, but by borrowing un ax at the nearest house a raft was improvised. It took so long to ferry over the horses and men that the work was discovered by Union cavalry that was following not fur behind. Morgan, Hines and thirty men had crossed, and the leader proposed to make a fight, but was at length dissuaded, and with Hines and four others took to the mountains. After wandering some time aimlessly, Hines left his companions beside a bridle path and went to a house for a guide. While absent on this errand he saw a body of Union cavalry moving in the direction of the general's hiding place. Dashing up to the cavalry leader he cried out. "Hurry ud. major, or the rebels will escape," and led the scent in an opposite direction. Representing himself as a home guard, Hines kept up the byplay for some time, but finally had to confess his identity. In fact his effort at deception was uphill work, for the Morgan party had been recognized at the house where the ax had been borrowed for the raft. The cavalry major was so enraged with Hines for leading him away from his prize that he prepared to hang him on the spot. "I would not have missed getting him [Morgan] for a thousand dollars. It would have been a general's commission for me," he declared. A halter was placed around Hines' neck and thrown over the limb of a tree, when the condemned man coouy saia, "suppose inai was ucu, Morgan and I have led yon astray; wouldn't I, being a member of his command, deserve to be banged if I had not done what yon charge me with?" The major thought a moment and then exclaimed, "Boys, let him alonel" Hlnes had tn eventful experience, but subsequently escaped. When Morgan heard the cavalry galloping away from nis vicinity he started south with the four men. and after several adventures and hairbreadth escapes from death reached his own lines. Geougk L.

When an American citizen wakes in the morning he polls from under bis pillow a 1 watch, on the cases anc! works of which ; i g THE SANDWICH MAN. appear the advertisements of the makers. ; Learning by the timepiece that it is bis j hour for rising, he throws back the blank- J ets stamped with the imprint of the manufacturer, and performs his ablutions by , aid of a cake of soap bearing the dealer's name.

He readies home at night and is i welcomed by a smiling and triumphant j | wife, who explaius that she has just rej turned from a satisfactory shopping expe- j dition, which she was induced to make by reason of announcements of "bargains" at various stores published in the papers. Emphatically this is an age both of competition and of advertising, and in the for! ward rush to success only the shrewdest | and best can be counted on to win the j great prizes of commerce. The merchant must have good goods, and he mustn't ' hesitate to let people know of them. A | | thousand avenues are o[>eu for the exercise ; of his ingenuity.

Where any other device attracts ten, the judiciously worded, neatly ari ranged newspaper advertisement will receive the attention of a hundred.

Much ingenuity aud novelty are shown ( by the theatrical manager of today. He is one of the firmest believers in printers' ink i alive. He utilizes advertisements, "puffs'" | and posters with u liberality only bounded by his cash or credit. Sometimes he does tilings that are startling und not altogether j creditable. One advance agent whom I know recently "billed" a southern town ! for an attraction .culled "Zo Zo, the Magic Queen." His labors over, he drank firewater and longed for more work. So taking n lot of flaming lithographs and a paste pot, he sought ut night the monument to dead Confederate veterans, which was the pride of the place, and plastered it with j pictures of rosy cheeked young women in tights. Soon after dawn a friend roused I him, and by his advice the agent fled. The ! Indignant citizens, unable to bring the cul- j l j ? j ^ Tin: NOX-ADVERTISRB'S FATE, prit to justice, evened things up by refusing the company permission to exhibit on its arrival. On the opening night of a new play at Drury Lfine theatre, London, recently, the proprietor advertised for and secured ! twelve bnldbeaded men to sit in the third : row of stalls. Each received his admission, a guinea nnd a dress suit. In return he allowed ti letter to be painted on his bare ' pate, so that when all the dozen were in ! line the delighted audience could spell this managerial assertion: : IT'S A GOOD SHOW. i A rival house offset this by a nightly display of fireworks. Rockets were sent up which threw out in words of fiame the title of the p!!ay and the names of the leading i actors. The aisove are a few of the novel and j amusing features developed by the AngloSaxon nice in 250 years of advertising. The : backbone and mainstay of the practice is of cour&e the newspaper. Often the merchant who doesn't advertise has to close his doom and hand his effects over to creditors. Such an experience is a rarity for . the man who combines the knowledge of what to put in stock with the knowledge of how to make people aware that he has fnr Mia lust the thinss they want. Judi clous liberality is the best economy in ! trade, and honest wares, honestly advertised and honestly Bold, bring the dealer ! popular confidence, financial competence ; and personal content. Fred C. Dayton. THE LADIES BUSY AS BEE8. They Propose to Do Their Share of World's Pair Work. Although little or no publicity is being given to the movements of the members of 1 the board of lady managers, private ro- ; ports from various states are to the effect 1 that they are quietly doing yeoman serv- i ice, and that the results will be more than apparent when the proper time arrives. ' The volunteer auxiliary associations, too, 1 are entering into their various schemes with zeal and energy. For instance, the Queen Isabella association proposes to I HARRIET H03MER. bold % series of World's Women's congresses between April and November of '03, each congress to represent women workers in all professions, and invitations to tbat end are being sent to women throughout the world who have been publicly identified with movements calculated to elevate and advance their sex. The appeal to tho women artists of all nations, for instance, and the signatures to wh ich are headed by no less a celebrity than Harriet Hosmur, urges that a congress of this particular profession will do much in the way of cultivating a fraternal spirits and possibly bring about a solution of many special difficulties that surround the pursuit of nrt as a profession for women. Talking of the gentler sex, moreover, brinjp to mind the fact that one of the moet prized letters that Secretary Phmbe Cous ins has yet received bears the signature of M. Tetano, the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from Japan to V'asbington. Like their neighbors of Chim, the people of Japan are pronounced in their opposition to women interesting themselves in public affairs. But M. Tetano is evidently imbued with American ideas of liberality and progress. At any rate, he not only helps the lady managers along with words of encouragement, but says that be believes the women of bis country could be induced to make a special exhibit, and even submits the names of three Japanese ladies whose cooperation, in bis judgment, could be secured. These ure Countess Oyama, wife of the present minister of war, and Mmes. Kurki and Musta, the two latter being exceedingly prominent and influential in Japanese society, and attached to the household of the empress.

HAVELOCK'S CAMPAIGN AGAINST REBELLIOUS NATIVES IN INDIA. Superior Numbers, He Opened I the Road to Cawnpore to Relieve European Prisoners, but the Daring Res- I cuers Arrived Too Late.

The cause of the revolt?the im- 1 mediate cause?was the adoption of the Enfield rifle for Indian troops, which would involve in loading the biting of the greased paper of the cartridge with the teeth. The grease of pigs being unclean to the Mussulman and that of cows sacred to the Hindoo, the incident was seized upon by ; wily leaders to inspire a revolt, and that, under the circumstances?the fiery nature of the sepoys and the small number of loyal troops?could but be attended with bloody massacre. The whole country was ready for the uprising. The all powerful Hindoo astrologers had for half a century predicted that the hated rule of the East India company j would come to an end in 1857, and popular superstition, combined with private malic?, ambition and greed, worked together to fan each trifling spark into a flame. Beginning with March of that year revolts and massacres were of frequent occurrence. On June 4 several thousand sepoys revolted at Cawnpore, a military station on the Ganges across from the newly annexed lingdom of Oude. Throughout Oude there was widespread discontent, and Cawnpore was filled with refugees from British rule in that country. The native troops at Cawnpore consisted of three regiments of infantry, one of cavalry, and a company of artillery. The British troops were about 200, under Gen. Sir Hngh Wheeler. When the mutterings of the storm reached him Gen. Wheeler fortified a regimental barrack and gathered around him the English residents and also the families of the Thirty-second English regiment, then serv. ing at Lucknow. A perfidious rajah, Nana Sahib, attempted by friendly assurances to delay the preparations for defense, bat finally threw aside the mask, and with an overpowering force of bandits and renegades attacked the barracks. An heroic defense followed. The position of Wheeler was completely surrounded. Water for the troops and citizens could be drawn only under cover or darkness. L-aunon and rides played on tbe defenses from all sides, aud a burning summer sun added to the sufferings of the besieged. At one. time the barrack of the wounded was fired by a shell, and a horde of sepoys rushed up to prevent the extinguishment of the flumes. They were repulsed with heavy loss, the defenders losing many men. Finally a European prisoner of Naua Sahib brought to Gen. Wheeler a proposition from the rajah to the effect that safe conduct would be furnished to all of the British who would lay doyn their arms. Ou the 27th Gen. Wheeler, finding his cose hopeless, agreed to the terms, and the garrison with the civilians marched out and i were placed upon boats in the Ganges. At a signal the Indian crews deserted the vessels and masked bodies of sepoys opened upon theiu with small arms and artillery. Four men escaped from the bouts, and the other survivors, Including women and children, were returned to Cawnporo as priaI oners. A few days after the tragedy of the boats i the news reached the military station at Allahabad, 125 miles distant, where was gathered the nearest relieving force of the district. Sir Henry Havelock, a general noted for his Christian principles and high J courage, had just arrived to lead an expe; dition for the succor of the stations under siege by the sepoys. Havelock set out for i Cawnpore with 1,000 Europeans and about ' 200 native cavalry. After marching nearly half the distance to Cawnpore the column | overtook an advance party of 200 men, and ! with a total of 1,400 men Havelock found himself confronted by 3,500 rebels in a I strong position at Futtepore. The enemy pushed the attack, aud Havelock, though anxious to give his weary men some rest. ' decided to accept the challenge. In ten minutes the action was decided, the enemy i retreating in disorder before the deadly 1 Enfield rifles and the cannon. HAVELOCK SHOWING HIS PLAN. This action took place on the 13th of ! July, And on the 14th the column resumed the mHrch. The hot summer sun of India j poured its releutless heat upon the men, but they toiled on in the hoj>e of rescuing the innocent and helpless survivors of Wheeler's party. On the 15th an intrenched bridge on u stream called the Fandoo was carried after a sharp engagement, and on the 16th, at noon, Havelock was again conI fronted by Nana Sahib's entire force of 5,000 men at u station three miles from Cawupore. Havelock's men had made twenty-three miles on their last march, but they were at once placed in line for attack. The sepoys had a strong position, one dank resting on the Ganges and the other in a walled village, the whole front being well protected by mango groves. The line formed au arc and covered two roads leading into Cawnpore. Havelock made his dispositions promptly, and truced his plan in the sandy rood with tho point of his sword for the instruction of Ids subordinates in case of disaster to himself. At half-past 3 tho advance was sounded, und tho small body of native cavalry dashed upon the sepoy center, drawiug their attention and fire. The main body of English was formed in five lines, the third being a battery of artillery, and the whole was pushed out rapidly on a Hank march against the rebel left. It was a bold, hazardous movement, but what wus left for 1,400 assailants against 5,000 well posted foemen except sharp tactics? The fiauk march was admirably masked at first by the mango groves, and the feint by the cavalry In the center threw Nana Sahib off his guard until ITuvelock wus upon his guns. Ilaveloek's second line was composed of a detachment of the famous Seventy-eighth Highlanders, and when the sepoy position was well uncovered this command was ordered to charge upon an intrenched battery of three guns. The sepoy bands were playing English airs as a taunt to their former comrades, and at the moment of this charge were sending out au old camp favorite, "Cheer, Hoys, Cheer!" With a ringing cheer, indeed, the kilted heroes sprang forward, holding their fire and relying upon the bayonet, the shrill sounds of the niDO finally drowning out the rebel music, and inspiring the men with their own Scotch martial airs. They faced a terrible lire from musket and cannon, but with trailed arms pressed on shoulder to shoulder, illustrating again the power of military discipline. One round of bullets wasted might have ruined all. Havelock was with them. Once the whole line dropped to the ground to escape a heavy volley, and then the general called out, "Rise up! Advance!" The call was answered, and the Seventy-eighth went into the battery without a halt, preceded by a single volley of the hated greased Kulield bullets, lired when the marksmen could see the mustaches of the swarthy sepoys. Havelock exclaimed: "Well done, Seventy-eighth! You shall be my own regiment. Another charge like that will win the day." Following on the heels of the Highlanders was the Sixty-fourth Queen's. Another fortified village, still to the left of that charged by the Seventy-eighth, stood in the way of Havelock's progress, and upon this the Sixty-fourth, moving in orderly advance, poured several volleys or nuuecs. At this time the rebel cavalry moving off on the plain beyond the English flank j threatened to throw the infantry into con- j fusion, and Havelock ordered a little band ; of irregular cavalry, known as "Gentlemen Volunteers," to charge the sepoy horse. These men were nearly all officers, separated from their commands. What their enthnsiasm was is shown by the conduct of one Capt. Beatson, who was smitten I with cholera so severely that he couldn't "RISE UP I ADVAJJCE I sit bis horse. When the devoted band went out on the charge he threw himself on an artillery tool cart, aud was carried into action to breathe his last. Now for a few minutes Havelock's entire line was in close encounter with the enemy and at many points engaged in hand to hand struggles. The sepoys fought well, facing the Engiuh bayonets with the brutal valor of savages. But Nana Sahib's flank was turned, and his ranks were rolled up on the center along the Cawnpore road. The rebel center on tbe road was the key of the position and blocked Havelock's advance to tbe town. Here the sepoys had a 24-pounder doing serious execution on Havelock's infantry. The ground was so heavy that the artillery animals could not move up the. English cannon, and it was the turn of a hand whether Sahib's men would win or not. Tbe rebels rallied at all points for a decisive blow. Again overwhelming numbers of cavalry spread out : on the plain. The beating of drums in the sepoy lines and the appearance of mounted officers at tbe front, Nana Sahib in gaudy costume among them, was the signal for a ; counter attack. But Harelock did not wait. His infantry was lying down to take breath, and once more be cried out, "Kiae upl Advance!" and the whole line, led by the Sixty-fourth, moved calmly on. The 24-pounder was on the front of the Sixtyfourth, and gave it solid shot until within S00 paces and then flred grape. At the decisive moment the leader of the | Sixty-fourth, Maj. Stirling, and Havelock's son and aid-de-camp, Harry, rode directly upon the deadly gun. The "boy Harry," as be was called, placed himself in front of the gaping muzzle of the piece and dashed on until he reached it, followed by the men, who would quail at nothing under such leadership. The gun was taken ! and the day was won. The sepoys made an ineffectual stand with infantry and soon gave way in total rout. The English cannon promptly advanced on the open road, and before dark the barracks of the old English quarters at Cawnpore were in ! sight. The moral courage of Havelock : and the physical daring of his men had done a marvelous work io defeating the j exultant rebels on their own ground, with odds of three to one against the attacking ! column. On the morning following the battle the English soldiery began scouring the precincts of Cawnpore in search of rebellious , sepoys and df English prisoners. Neither ' were to be foand for a time. At length a i European, who had been given an extra sentence of hard labor on the roads, came forward to relate the most horrible chap! ter of all this carnival of fiendish cruelty. The prisoners who had survived the mos; sac re on the boats had been kept in confinement until the issue of Nana Sahib's Unvolivtlr An 1flkh ft.nH then UUbblO YVIbU XAttibiwa VM ?MV ? murdered down to the last woman and child. The one man left to tell the tale , had been overlooked in the hasty movement of blood, for the victorious yells of Have lock'a soldiers had reached Cawnpore, j and the Sahib and his crew were in terror for their lives. Havelock had arrived, but too late for rescue. However, he had scattered and discouraged the rebels, had defeated them four times and taken thirty j cannon. The short campaign made Havelock faI mous. He next turned his attention to : Luckuow, flfty-flve miles distant, where the English commissioner of Oude, Sir Henry Lawrence, with about 500 Europeans, was surrounded by hordes of sepoys. The revolt of the native regiments at Lucknow had taken place quite simultaneously with that at Cawnpore, and Lawrence had placed the garrison in a state of defense for a long siege. George L.
