Atonement for Neglect to the Living.
NEW YorK, March 29.-Dr. Tal
nage preached an Easter sermon to his
two audiences to-day. Both at the
morning service in Brooklyn and at The
Christian Herald service in New York,
in the evening, the Academies of Music
were bright with a profusion of flowers,
Easter lilies being conspicuous. A se
ection of music appropriate to the festi
rai was beautifully rendered at each scr
ice. The text of the preacher's dis
ourse was Matt. xxvii, 6, "Come, sce
he place where the Lord lay."
Visiting any great city, we are not
satisfied until we have also looked at its
emetery. We examine all the styles of
:enotaph, mausoleam, sarcophagus.
:rypt, and sculp..ure. Her .s buried
x statesman, yonder an o r, here a
poet, out there an inventor, in some
ther place a great philanthropist. But
with how much greater interest and with
more depth of emotion, we look upon
ur family plot in the cemetery. In the
mne case, it is a matter of public interesL,
in the other it is a matter of private and
eartfelt affection. But around the
grave at which we halt this morning,
there are gathered' all kinds of stupend
Dus inte:est. At this sepulchre, I have
to tell you there was buried a king a con
gueror, an emancipator, a friend, a
brother, a Christ. Monarch of the uni
verse, but bone of our bone, and flesh of
ur flesh, and sorrow of our sorrow, and
heart of our heart. "Come, see the
place where the Lord lay."
It has for surroundings, the manor in
the suburbs of Jerusalem, a manor
>wned by -t wealthy gentleman by the
:iame of Joseph. He was one of the
:ourt of seventy who had condemned
Christ; but I think he had voted in the
aegative, or, being a timid man, had
been absent at the time of the casting of
the vote. He had laid out the parterre
Ltgreatexpense. It was a hot climate,
md I suppose there were broad-branched
rees and windic.g paths underneath
them, while here the waters rippled over
the rock into a fishpool. and yonder the
Ones and the flowers clambered over the
wall, and all around there were the benu
reo, kiosk and arboriculture. After
the fatigues of the Jerusalem court-room,
how refreshing to come out in these su
burbs botanical and pomological.
-Iwalk a little farther on in the par
terre and I come across a cluster o
rocks, and I see on them the marks of a
sculptor's chisel. I come still closer,
idl. find that therEt is a subterranean
etess, and I walk down the marble
stairs, and come to a portico, -ver the
doorway an architecture of fruits and
fowers chiselled by the hand of the scul
por. I go into the portico, and on
either side there are rooms, two, or four,
cr.sirooms of rock; in the walls, niches
zbach niche large enough to hold a dead
body. One of these rooms of rock is es
,.cially wealthy with sculpture. It was
beautiful and charmaing spot. Wihy all
his ? The fact was that Joseph, the
fwner of the parterre, of that wealthy
manor, ad recognized the fact that he
o~d not always walk those gardens,
and he sought this as his own last rest
ing place. What a beautiful plot in
which to wait for the resurrection!
Mark well the meuseleum in the rock.
ft is to be the most celebrated tomb in
althe ages; catacombs of Egypt. tomb
oflaleon, Mahal Taj of India. noth

beemifdered, and his body must be

indrnce. Joseph, the owner of - the
mhanaesmbegs for the body of Christ,
aud ia fres .ad washes the poor and
jntlated frame fro n the blood and the
lustand shrouds it and perfumes it.
R think embalmment was omitted.
When. mn lden times, they wished to
emalmi a dead. body, the priest, with
isomeepretesiofl of medical skill, would
sow the point between the ribs where
th incision was to be made. Then the

*British Government, always followed
with aever penalties..
A regiment oI soldiers from the Tower
ofAntonio is detailed to guard that
.masoleum. At the door o1 that tomt
a fight took place which decided the
tqion for all graveyards and cemeter
ies. Sword ofrlightning against sword

'having left his mortaary attire behi
him, comes forth in the garb of a work
man, as I take it, from the fact that the
-women mistook him for the gardener.

so that it can never be rebuilt. All thE

Hosanna! Hosanna !
O weep no more, your comforts slain,
'The Lord is risen, he lives again.
- When one of the old Christians wa:
dying, he said he saw on the sky the let
tei "V,' and he said: "I cannot under
stand what that is I see against the sky
it is the letter 'V.'" A Christian stand
ing beside him said. "I know whati
means; that letter 'V stands for -vic
tory."' I gather up all these tiower
to-day, and 1 strew them over the grave
of your Christian dead in the letter "V
for "victory." "R" for 'resurrection,'
"T for "triumpb," "H" for " Heaven.
"The Lord .is risen." Hosannal
While standing around the place wher
he Lord lay, I am ianpressed with ih
fct that mortuary honors cannoti aton
for wrongs to the living, If they coul
have afforded Christ such a costl
seulhre, they could have atforded hit
a a ent earthly residence. Will the
ive a piece ofsmarble to the dead Chrit
w*hen they might have given a soft pillo
lo the living Christ. If they had but ha
the expense of that mausoleum in tb
makig of Christ's life on earth comfoi
sad. He wanted breaad; they gave him a
stone. Cirist. like every other benefac
tor of the world, was better appreciated
after he was dead. Westminster Abbey
and monunental Greenwood are to a
certain extent the world's attempts by
mortuarv honors to atone for neglects to
the livin. Poetb' Corner in Westmuin
ster Abbey-an at.empt to pay for the
sufferings of Grub street. Igointo that
Poets' Corner of Wcstminster Abbey,
and there I find the grave of Handel, the
musician, from whose music we hear
to-day, as it goes dlown reverberating
through the ages. While I stand at the
costly tomb of I1audel, I cannot forget
the fact that his fellow musicians tried to
dstrov him with their discords. I go a
little further in the Poets' Corner of
Westminster Abby, and I tind the grave
of John Dryden, the great poet. Castly
monument, great mortuary honors; but
I cannot torget the fact that at seventy
years of age he wrote about the oppres
Sions of misfortune, and that he made a
contract for a thousand verses at six
pence a line. I go a little further on in
the Poets' Corner, and I find the grave
ef Samuel Butler, the aurthor of -Htudi
bras." Wonderful monument, costly
mortuary honors. Where did he die?
In a garret. I move further on in the
Poets' Co.ner, and I find the grave of a
poet of whom Waller wrote: "An old
schoolmaster by thename of John Milton
has written a tedious volume on the fall
of man. If its length be no virtue, it
has none." I go a little further on in
the Poets' Corner, and I find the grave
of Sheridan, Alas! for Sheridan. Poor
Sheridan! Magnificent mortuary honors.
What a pity it was he could not have
discounted that monument for a mouth
ful of something to eat! 0, unfilian chil
dren, give you old parents less tomb
stone and more blankets, less funeral
and more bedroom. Five per cent. of
the money now expended at Burns' ban
quets would have made the great Scotch
poet comfortable and kept him from be
ing almost harried to death by the drud
ery of an exciseman. Horace Greely
outrageously abused while he lived
oing out to his tomb was followed by
the President of the United States and
the leading man of the army and the
navy. S.me peop e could not say bit
ter enough things about him while lie
dived; all the world rose up to do him
honor when he died. Massachusetts, at
the tomb of Charles Sumner, tried to
-atone for the ignominious resolutions
with which her legislature denounced the
living senator. It was too late. The
costly monument at Springfield, Illnois,
%annot pay for Booth's bullet. Costly
mortuary honors on the banks of Lake
Erie-honors that cost between $200,
000 'and $300,000-cannot pay for the
asasination of James A. Garfield. Do
justice to the living. All the justice
you do you will have to do this side the
zates of the necropolis. The dead can
not wake up to count the number of
carriages in the procession, or see
the polish on the Aberdeen granite. or
to read the words of epitaphal com
memoration. Costly mausoleum of the
gentlemen in the suburbs of Jerusalem
cannot atone for Bethlehem's manger
and Calvary's cross and Pilate's ruffian
judiciary.
Again! Standing in this place where
the Lord lay, I am impressed with the
fact that floraland sculptural ornamenta
tion are appropriate for the places of the
dead. We are all glad that in the short
time of the Saviour's inhumation he lay
amid flowers and sculpture. I cannot
quite understand what I see in the ne ws
papers, where, amid the .announcements
of obsequies, the friends request "send
no flowers." Why, there is no place so
appropriate tor flowers as the casket of
the departed. If your means allow-I
repeat, if your means allow--let there be
lowers on the casket, flowers on the
hearse, tiowers on the grave. Put them
on the bro~v; it means coronation.
Put them in the hand; it means victory.
Chr i't was buried in a parterre. Christ
was bur'ed in a garden. Flowers are
types of resurrection. Death is sad
enough, anyhow. Let conservatory and
arboretum do all they can in the way of
alleviation. Your little girl loved flowers
while she was alive. Put them in her
hands, now that she earnot go forth and
pluck flowers for herself. On sunshiny
days twist a garland for her still heart.
Brooklyn has no gre nder glory than her
Greenwood, nor Boston than her Mount
Auburu, nor Philadelphia than her
Laurel Hill, nor Cincinnati than her
Spring Grove. nor San Francisco than
her Lone.Mountain. What shall I say of
those country graveyards where the
viners have fallen down and the slib is
aslant and the mound is caved in, and
the grass is the pasture ground for the
sexton's cattle. Are your father and
oother of so little account you have no
more respect than that for their bones?
Some day gather together and straigh
ten up the fence and lift the slab, and
bank up the mound, and tear out the
weeds, and plant the shrubs. After
awhile you, yourself, will want to lie
down to the last slumber. If you have
no regard for t'ie bo c: of your ancestors,
your children will have no defence for
you- bones, Do you say these relics
are of Lno importance? You will see os
how much importance they are when
the archangel takes out his trumpet.
Tun all your graveyards into gardens.
Standing in this place where the Lord
lay, I am also impressed with the dig~
nity of unpretending obsequies. Joseph
that day was mourner, sexton, livery
man-hiad the entihe charge of all the
ocsion. Four people only at the bur
ial of the King of the Universe. Let
this be consolatory to those who, through
small means or lack of large acquaint
ance, have but little demonstration of
grref at the grave of their dead. It is
Dot necessary. Long line of glittering
equages, two rows of silver handles,
casket of costly wood, pall-bearers
scarfed and gloved, are not aecessary.
Christ looks'out from heaven at a burial
where there are six in attendance, and
remembers there are two more than he
had at his obsequics. Not recognizing
this idea, how manny small properties are
scattered in the funeral rites, and wi ow
hood and orphanage go out to the cold
charity of the world. The departed left
enough property to have kept the aimiuy
together until they could take care of
themselves, but it is all absorbed in the
funeral rites. That went for crape which
ought to have gone for bread A man
of small means can hardly afford to die
in one of our great cities! Funeral
pageantry is not necessary-. No one
was every more lovingly andl tenderly
put into the grave than Cerist, but thiere
were only four in the procession.
Aeaiu: standing in this place whmere

fact that ~vou cannot ke ip the dead

LIup the tomb, and that which we calle

Various scriptural accounts say that
the 'york of grave-breakain will he:;n
i with thle ;list of trumipets and shoutings;
whece I take it the iirst imtimat i n
of tle da, will be a sound fromn I aveni
stch as has never beiore ocen heard. It
may not be very loud, but it will be pani
etratin.;. There are im usoleons so deep
that undis.turbed silence has slept there
every since the day when the s!cc pers
were le .t in thern. The great noise shall
strike through them. Among the corais
of the sea. miles deep, where the ship
wrecked rest, the sound will strike. No
one will mistake it for thunder, or the
bI -st of earthly minstrelsy. Tire will
be heard toe voice of the uncounted un

arising from the field of Sedan, and from
among the rocks of Gettysburg, na from
among the passes of South Mountain.
A hundred thousand are crowding

On this grave three spirits meet. for
there were three bodies in th L tomb!
Over that family vault twenty spirits

the guillotine, or si miniered in the fire or
rotted in dungeons; all the infants of a
day, all the octogeiarians-all! all
Not one straggler left behind. All ! all!
And nov the air is darkened with 1he
fragments of bodies that are coming to
gether from the opposite corners of the
earth. Lost limbs finding their mate
hone to bone, sinew to sinex-until
every joint is recons ructed, and every
arm finds its socket, and the amputated
hmb of the s irgeon's able shad be set
again at the point fro.n which it was sev
ered. A surgeon told me that after the
oattle of Bull Run he amputated limbs,
throwing them out of the window. until
the pile reached up to the win::ow-sill.
All those fra..ments will have to take
.eir places. Those who were born
blind I.ave eyes divinely kindled; those
who were lame shall have a limb sub
stituted. In all the hosts of the resur
rection not one eye missing; not one

one t-ngue dumb; not one ear (leaf.
Wake up, my friends, this day. this
glorious Easter morning, with all these
congratulations. If I understand this
day, it means peace toward IHeaven and
peace toward earth. Great wealth of
lowers! Bring more flowers. Wreath
them around the brazen throat of the
cannon, plant them in the deserts until it
shall blossom like the rose, braid them
into the mane of the war charger as lie
comes back. No more red dahles ofhu
man blood. Give us white lilies of
peace. Strew all the earth with Easter
arlands, for the resurrection we cele
rate this morning implies all kinds of
resurrection, a score of resurrection.
Resurrection from death and sin to the
life of the gospel. Resurrection of apos
tolic faith. Resurrection of commercial
integrity. Resurrection of national hion
or. Resurrection of international good
will. Resurrection of art. Resurrection
of literature. Resurrection of every
thing that is good and kind and gener
ous and just and holy and beautiful.
Nothing to stay down, to siay buried,
but sin and darkness and pain and dis
easo and revenge and death. Let those
tarry in the grave forever. "Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peae,
good will to men."
Christ, the Lord, is risen to-day,
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your songs and triumphs high,
Sing, ye lleavens, and earth reply.
Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won.
L~o! the sun's eclipse is o'er;
Lo! lie sets in blood no more.
The First Hiome Made Rebel Gun.
The drst gun made for the Confeder
ate govermlent is owned by Mrs. HI. 1
Miller. of Chattanooga. The owners of
Libby prison. now in Chicago, are in
correspondence with Mrs. Miller for the
purchase .of the historic relic. The gun
was made by Mrs. Miller's father. W.S.
MElwaine. at Holly Springs, Miss.. in
the Summer of 1801. It was carried
through part of the wvar by a young man
of Holly Springs. a friend of Mr. Mc
Elwaine. Origiaallyv it had a rild har
rel. About the middle of the war the
brrel was injured by a ball, an't the
gun was retuned to Mr. Me Ehruue, who
cut it off at the injured point aud bored
it for a shot guni.
Mr. McElwaine was a native of Pitte
field, Massachusetts. where lie learned
the trade of a machinist. Afterward he
worked in a gun factory in New York,
and then mosedi to Samdusky. Ohio,
where lie enzaged in the loundry busi
ness, In 1859 he wvent on a prospe-ctung
trip to Missis-'ippi. He settled at Utolly
Spings, and in a crude way began the
fundry business with two partners
Wien the wvar began the company had a
wel equipped establishment, which Pre
sident Davis induced the owners to con
vert into an armory. Small arms wer
badly needed, and Mr. McElwaine
planned and made the necessary machm
ery for manufacturing them. With is
own hands lie made the first gun, wic
his daughter now preserves.
When the battle of Shiloh~ was ud
in 1862 the plant wvas turning out twea' t
ive stands of arms a day and emplom
500 hands. The armory was aiterward
sold to the Confederate government r
$150,000. in addition to the $00,000 pod
i r converting it into an armory. The
plant was shortly afterwvard removed to
Macon. (in- After the evacualou of
Corinth by the Confederates a raid wa s
made on Uolly Surmnes and the buildin s
were burned.~ After an evenitful- career

meirsome ranchers branded 1,00 to
1,300 calves where J or several seasons
past they we-re in the habit of branding
from 0.u.0 to 26,00.
John Uradley was another heavy
loser and had an experience with some
of his cattle that he will never forget.
One night in January l:tst 5,000 of his
choicest, which had b-en driven in
close to the liada arters of the ranch,
where th.ere were uetween 500 and 1,000
bales o: hav stacked together in one
huge pil, and enclosed by a high and
strong 'xard fence, in.ade a wild stam
pede, a:2d took complete possession~of
the hay. During tne day they were
given a small quantity of it, the idea
eing to keep them from utter starva
tion and make the hay last as long as
possiblc. Men armed with sticks land
pitcliforks were stationed alongside of
the fence to more completely guard the
provender, it being anticipated that in
their hunger the animals would, make
an onslaught on the feice to get at the
covettd" 10o.
Daraness c:une on, and it was bitter
cold. The night was clear and the
sno w deep on the ground, and ever and
auou sharp. piercing winds would mer
ciessly lasa the poor dumb beasts, who
n suld phalanx on au four sides of the
i enced hav stood a short distance away,
shivering' in their plignt, looking at
the ha and watching tne men en
guard.
T wo hours before midnight the wind
increased in fury. It becawe a hurri
cane, with the thermometer below zero.
The men on 'guard in their bundle of
clv:bes were painfully cold; the cattle
pr*sted gril aspects. in one great
ie mass, surging to and fro,
r,::tiess with pain and hunger, bat
w ith heir eves ti ilxed on the big pile
o hav.
Thtr- rz-stiessness increased, the
swag movement of the big mass be
eilue more noticeable. Timt cattle in
the rear, in a v4in attempt to get away
fromu the cruel wind, stru,-Zled wildly,
rushing forwanrd and lighting to oust
those in front, until the whole herd
took aL.rr and biegan moving toward
the hay. Suddenly with one accord
they bello wed loud and long, as if in
stiet told them death was near, and
then in a mad career rushed blindly
and furiously toward the fence.
The guards. having no avenue of es
cape but on top of the pile of hay,
swiftly climbed the fence and scram
bled oi top just as the hungry herd
ade its mad charge.
t was a grand and terrible scene as
the cattle rushed up to the fence, those
in the front having their brains dashed
out and others being trampled to death
by those charging on behind. The
fence gave way, and around and up the
pile of hay the herd moved on, so close
ly packed together that some behind
were forced upon the backs of those in
front, while here and there were large
piles of dead animals, from the top of
which cattle stood frantically grabbing
their food, only the next moment to be
savagely attake by others for a fav
ored place.
For an hour the guards on top, with
bated breath and frightened looks
watched this weird sight, and then
e1L or help.,~ e tih cattie pusneui or-e
imnother close up to the top, made Brad
ley and others, who had run out of the
house when the cattle bellowed think
g that the guards were being mangled
beeath tihe hoofs of the enraged beasts.
For two hours tuey labored to drive
the cattle back to rescue the guards and
finally succeeded in getting an opening
for themi to escape, but the cattle iin
ished the hay pile, and a week later ah
wvere dead from cold and hunger.
Which are the Heathen?
Prr-unruo, March 29.-Chinamen of
Pittsburg, contrary to the general belief
in regard to their burials, do not send
their dead to China, but own a neat lot
in Uniondale cemetery, in which they
are entered. This afternoon one of their
number. Jen Sen, was buried with ex e y~
rite and observance attending Chinese
obsequies. Jen Sen was a high Mason.
and a long procession of Celestials fol
lowed thle remains to the grave.
Here a most disgraceful scene ensued,
brught about by some fifteen hundred
Caucasin-s, who had trampled over the
graves, torn down the shrubbery and
jostled the timid moarners in order to
gratify their curiosity. The Chinese
revently placed burning Joss sticks,
perfued paper and printed prayers be
side the grave, only to have them almost
snatched out of their hands by the excit

NEW YoRK, March 30.-An evening
paper says that C., ngressnai Jtrry
Simpson, of Kansas. was at the Wluisor
Hotel to-day. He occ'i(d a G6 a day
room and secm'ed to be pe fectiv at
bo5:,.e in the hotel whwre milionaires

Simpson and a reporter: "Somie t1 the
Republican papers i N.nv 11iampshir
says Senator :Chandler invited you to
speak in that State. Did he-"
"I have never hcard anythini abouL
it. I spoke there under the au.pices f
the Farmers' Alliance. IL is ratLhr
queer that I should be accus.d of bIing
an ally ot the Republeans in the !Nori.
Now, in the South the Dciorats declare
that the farmers' Alliance is in with the
Republicans and in the Nor'.h Re
publicans declare we are nothing but
Democrats, and between th e two we go
ahead, and gather strength and in 1892

"I think so, but can't say vet. Next

looks to mue as if we should 'e able to
put a candidate into the field and win."
"You are accused of helping to elect
Senator Palm..r. Did you lend him any
aid ?"
" Well, I went by Springfield and I am
not sorr v that Palmer is elected Senator.
Why should I not want to see him
elected Senator? We want to hold the
the balance of power in the Senate and
in the House, and naturally I did not
wish to see a Republican elected, be
cause it would lessen ouchances in the
Senate."
"Iow do you exnect to have abalan:e
of power in the Senate by the election
of senator Palmer?"
Easy enough. Ie is a Democrat and
will vot~e against protection and against
the Republicans on every vital point.
Well, with Pfeffer and Kyle and several
silver Senators from the West the Alli

That is our aim. and I do not think we
can fail."

Wide Awake for Education.
BLACKVILLE. March 2.5.-The com
mittee appointed by the Baptirt Asso
ciation to take under consideration the
advisability of establishing a school of a
high grade for boys and girls in this
county met here on Wedensday. Reports
from all sections of the county were very
interesting and enthusiastic. The pro
ject is bound to be a success. After
hearing these reports the committe
agreed to organize for business, and the
following commIttees were appointed:
A committee after circulation, a commit
tee to get up plans for building, and a
committee on bids for location.
The object of the Baptists is to raise an
amount of at least $15,000 Ior buildings,
together with ten acres of land. on which
the buildings will be placed. The build
inz will consist .of a large three-story
school building. On these -rounds they
propose erecting suitable buidings to be
used for boarding purposes, thereby not
only placing the children directly under
the supervision of the professors, but
greatly reducing expenses a'the iy claim
the charges ror board wd il be very
moderate.
While this school will be instituted by
the Baptist denomination. it is not, how
ever. intended to be sectarian, as it will
re a atip wi oe 'receieti
from all. The committee on bids, eon
Isistiog of the Revs C. 1'. Ervin, Bam
berg, WV. D. McMillanl, Blackville, and
W.~D. Rice, Graham, are authorized to
ask from the towas in the county the
amount that they are willing to give f'or
the location of the school in their respec
tive towns. These bids are to be closed
on September 15 next.
This is certainly a big thing and will be
a great addition to our county anid a per
feet bonanza for the towa that succeds
in securing it.--News and Courier.
NEW ToinK, March 25.-A special to
the World from Butte, MIont., says a
movement has been begun by the leaders
of the Republican party in Washington
to throw MIontana into the Republican
colmn n 192,insure the election of
audrtothe Senate, steal tbree elec
toral votes from the Democracy and
contest the seat of Representaitive-elect
Dixon. The object of the Republicans
is to disfranchise 7,000 naturalized citi
zens, all, or nearly all, of wvhom are
Democrats, because of a technical error
in the process of natturalization. .T'.is
error was the swearing of the men in the
open air instead of in the otlice of the
City Clerk. The case of MIrs. Langtry
will be taken as a precedent, her natur
alization having been declared irregular
and void by the United States because
th ahws administered at her room
in ahote inseadof in the clerk's oflice.
Jt is the intention of the projectors of
the scheme to keep the case pending uin
til after the next Presidential election,
so that in the meantime the 7,000 men
will be kept from voting.

MASSACRE IN ASSAM.
Ammunition Gave out and the Camp Sur
rendered.
CALcU-rTA, Marc: 30.-A dispatch
from Manipur, in the province of Assam,
brings news of a disaster to a force of
native troops there. The news was
brouiht to Kahiman. on the Assum
frontier b, two Jookhas-native soldiers
in the British service-who arrived there
yesterday. The massacre originated n
a feud between the Rajah of Manipur
and the lea ling tribal chief. The Rajah
was deposed and he was appoint to the
V:ceroy. British Commissioner Quin
ton was sent to setLle the tro uble and
started from the headquarter at Phillo
ny. escorted by the Forty-second and
Fortv-fourth Goorkha Light Infantry.
After crossing the front, Qumton sum
moned the chief to Durbar, at Manipur,
for the purpose of arresting Ribel Sioux.
The chief of the tribemen, pretending to
obey the summons, moved in force and
at rndmuht before the day on which
Durbar was to be held suddenly attacked
and attempted to surprise the camp, but
failed and the tribemen were driven back.
They returned, however, and kept up
the attack daiy and night for forty-eiu-ht.
hours. Finally th.a ammunition of the
Goorkha gave out and Commissioner
Quin ton was obliged to give the order,
"Save who car."
During the light scouts were sent to
try to communicate with Shillong, but
they never returned. The Manipur na
tives cut the telegraph wires and killed
the messengers. The fugitives report
that a general massacre followed the
looting of the camp. There is reason for
believinz that the estimate that 470 were
killed is incorrect. Quinton and his
staff were made prisoners. Another
account says that Colonel Skeno, a com
mander. Commissioner Quinton, with
his son and daughter, Captain Baileau
and six officers were killed, the natiTes
refusing to give them quarter. The
rebellious tribe is famous for cunning
cruelty and bravery. Immediately upon
receiving the news of the disaster the
'Vice:oy at once summoned the Council,
Two natiye regiments stationed in As
sam have already been dspat.hed to
Manipur. The Third Bengal Infantry
wii! start for the scene to-morrow.
The Vicerov of India has abandoned
his tour ad has started for Simla. Five
rezirents and a mountain battery have
been ordered to Manipur.

LoNoN. March 31.-A committee,
headed by Bishop Roberts, is circulating
an appeal for funds in order to carry the
Clitheroe case to the House of Lords.
The committee's appeal asserts that it
is in the interest of religion and moral
ity that this final appeal should be made.
The Clitheroe case consisted in the ab
duction, by her own husband, of Mrs.
Jackson, a wealthy lady, whose relata
tives had persuaded her not to live with
her husband. The Court of Appeals re
cently decided that the husband could
not compel his wife to live with him,
and ordered her to be allowed to choose
her own residence. The contention of
counsel for the husband was that, there
fore, he was justified in abducting her
and compelling her to live with him.
