She has done so this year from fur off India, and be stowed another honor and decoration ujion the famous highland clan of soldierly Scots, the Grants, of “Black Watch” fume, that for a century or more has bad at least one hero of every generation In India. On the '.'Tlh of March last a flying de tachment of native aoldiers—Gou rkas— rushed into the English camp at Tummu, in Burmah. and breathlessly announced a terrible diajister to a small English army at the capital of Manipur, distant from Tummu alamt four days inarch over the hills. The camp at Tummu waa In charge of Lieut. C. J. W. Grant, of the Second Burmah regiment. Ills father, grand father and great-grandfather had been sol diers in India, and he knew by instinct and tradition that olicn a trilie got the upper s of British rntMentu Aod Koldlery woult/Tb«? (Covernineut of Inilin timintitiiiM an aftwic, or reprt'M'iitative, nti'l a resiliency at Maui pur, and there at the time, a* Lieut. Grant knew, were the chief comminuioner, hi* wife and other EnKliah officiaU and at Inches. Between them and all other Knj( lish posts, except Tummu, lay wide stretches of jungle, cutting off all hoj>e of escape and of timely succor. Grant promptly wired to liis superiors at distant points in Burmah for authority to march to the rescue of ids comrades and friends, and at 11 o’clock ut night on the 27lb re ceived a sanction of his plans. At 5 o'clock on the morning of the 2Sth he set out with 50 men of hit own regiment and 30 of the Gourka soldiers that had come in from Manipur. The route lay over the hills and the com ? any marched twelve hours before resting. 'be next night and day they marched thirteen hours, and the next, the 30th, eiipt hours, fighting their way over intrench inenta and through villages, always out numijered, but victorious. The Maulpuri prisoners taken in the fight confirmed the news of the disaster at Manipur and said that the English leaders had all been kill ed and that the wife of the resident, Mrs. Grim wood, had escaped into the jungle ami was fleeing toward the British camps. Lieut. Grant resumed his march at 11 o’clock at night and pushed on until daylight, when he was confronted by a river with its bridge burning and a hostile fort on the opposite side covering tiie passage. The gallant leader made a recoilnoissauce on horseback and found the bridge timbem burned through; also he saw the exact formation of the enemy’s works—a mud fort with trenches extending up and down the river bank. The little force of 80 men was then placed in three lines, the first two of 20 men each in firing sections of 10 each The advance sounded, and one section of the front line opened fire while the other rushed forward thirty paces, dropped down and also opened fire. In this way the advance crept up to within 100 yards of the works. Then Lieut. Grant signaled his supports, 40 men in two sections, to move up on either flank, which they did, not halting at the firing line, but pushing about forty yards ahead, then dropping and opening fire. At this the first sections arose in n body and dashed forward to the river hank ami down into the stream, Grant at the head of all. The water was from three to six feet deep, and the plucky lieutenant got in over his depth and had to be htdpcd out. His followers, however, lost no time, Imt, standing in the shallow edge of the stream, fixed bayonets and formed for the charge. The enemy kept down behind their wall* firing from loopholes, and these were the only targets the assailants had until they advanced with the cold steel. Then the Manipur! left their cover at the first wall and fell back. Grant’s men advanced, freely using the bayonet. At the second wall the enemy tried to rally, but the tac tics of the English were too much for r ' nnes and ammunitioh, all at some time or other presented to the ruling rah for his services to England—were in front of Tho- bal scheming to conquer and thirsting to massacre its valiant defenders. Grant had only seventy rounds per mso for his Burmese soldiers and thirty per man for hts Gourka allies, and he Nbam doned tiie outer trench and placed mil hands within the fort. When the Mani* purl crowded up to the trenches, 200 yards away, the riflemen In the fort dropped them by scores. It was only a question of how long the enemy would swarm so reck lessly within range and the fort’s am muni tion hold out. Lieut. Grant handled a rifle along with the rest, and scattered many a group of Manipuri assailants by dropping some of their number at long range. Several j sorties were headed by him against ' assailants that had crawled close up along the ditches and hedges that led to the fort from all directions. In one sortie, with only six followers, he crept ( near enough the enemy to use his re^ volver, and t eared out an angle of the | trench where t iey were ranking a hot fire upon tiie liesieged garrison. Ten of the I Manipuri were Hilled in this sortie. Ueturniug to the fort, Grant found thrt ' he bml only ammunition for one hour more i of hard fighting. He placed watchmen at the walls with orders not to fire except on tul attainments cranny, oad a hard time trying to his client. All day this case was considerJsl. The Judge w.rs irritable and the lawiycr was stubborn. Point after point wm/a dilated upon at length. No sooner wrould the lawyer gain ground than the jmlige would take exception by some legal teeth ideality. Then the lawyer grew sar/walc. He was losing his patience. Thef judge bukrd him in a manner that \fvus not too delicate. The lawyer turned upon hii(n and burst out with, “I always though^, your honor was a gentleman." "What’s that?" asked the "I always thought your h tleman," repeated the legal,, man. The judge could not Contain himself now. Scornfully he lashed fLUe lawyer with his quick tongue. When he finished, the lawyer said. ‘‘I always th^ rnght your honor was a gentleman"—then, hesitating—"and 1 think so now." Nothing was heard for a few seconds but the silent niutterings cpf the judge; then the crier called out, "T^he court will come loonier,” for tiie witn^ -ssesw'e re convulsed with laughter. - Hosto^i Herald.

The assailants did not advance, but kept up a steady fire of bul lets that were buried in the mud wails or fiew harmlessly over. Thus passed tk« days until April 7. Then some Burmese scouts brought news of a large army com log to the rescue. Next day a flag of truce appeared on the Manipuri outposts and a letter waa sent in from the commandant of a relief expedition telling Grant to retire at once, as he would not l»e supported iu his fight. The orders were peremptory and had to be obeyed. The retreat w as made on a dark, stormy night, when lightning flushes were all the light the marching soldiers hail. With each flush tiie column made a few paces forward and then waited for the next. The soldiers were drenched to the skin, and sometimes the darkness compelled them to stand half an hour exposed to attack from the hostiles along the way. The march was slow, of course. Grant clung to the coat of an owl eyed Sepoy, for he could see nothing himself. About S o’clock in the morning one of the sol diers passed the wmrd back from the front of the column sleepily, "The party has come.” and the next moment Grant was grasping the hand of Cupt. Presgrave, commanding the relief. The meeting wu* a surprise to Presgrave, for the Manipuri natives had told him at two different places that Grant’s band had met the fate of the official party. Capt. Presgrave had brought up 18(J men and a supply of ammunition, and tliis was fortunate, because at tno village of Pale), at the foot of the Manipur hill, where Grant had had a sharp fight on his march out, the retiring column was met by about 400 Manipuri soldiers. In a spirit of revenge rather than of self defense Grant led a party of mounted men forward and charged, surprising and routing the Maui purl. Grant’s horse was killed under him and he fought on foot, emptying his re volver again and again iu the melee. In this attack 40 Manipuri were slain and Grant’s loss was only his horse and a pony. At their last liaitle ground, Palel, the column I wilted for further re-enforcemenU and the danger was over. Tiie first tele graphic dispatches that went through after the news from Thohal had been discussed at British headquarters in India were con grntulations and other good words for Grant, the new hero of the British army In time there followed substantial honorv from England iu the shape of the Victoria Cross, bearing the inscription "For Vid our,” and awarded only for conspicuout- daring in the face of the enemy; also s commission as major. As often happens, Grant’s courage bad no substantial fruit. The survivors of lh( massacre at the Manipur capital, Mrs. Grim wood and others, escuned in a differ ent direction, without aid from Grant But his deed was heroic in the extreiie and was worth to the army all that hu been claimed for it. The Manipuri are no rude savages, fighting w ith the spear an< Ikjw against long range weapons. The. confronted Grant with superior numl»erK- some accounts say as many as 4,000—of o ganixed and uniformed troops, armed wit modern riiles.

Grant, with a handful, pushed for ward in the center and the supports mode a rutih on the flanks, and the Manipuri, daxed by the audacity of the aosauit, fled up the htllaide. Grant found to his amazement that the captured works were a mile long and had been occupied by 800 men, armed with muskets and rifle*, 200 of them carrying the Martini, superior to the best arms of the English opposed to them. The capture of Fort Thobal took place March 81. Early on April 1 Grant’s patrol* ■aw the enemy advancing from a new post tiou. A few good shots, each sending a Man! purl to the dust, drove them to cover for sev •ral hours. Then they formed for advance again. Grant placed 50 men iu a walled trench in front of the fort, and in a few minutes their well aimed bullets sent the enemy flying out of reach. Then a new danger appeared, and for a time it looked U the young commander as though the dar ing of his men hod been in vain. From tlx camp of the Manipuri on the hillside then sounded a loud "boom," a shell weal screaming over the front line, where Grant stood at the i>ost of honor, and bu rating scattered its fragments in tfie field betweet the trench and the fort. This was followed by a second and a third. Grant feared for the courage of his men •bould they i* compelled to lie cooped n; in a fort under the fire of cannon. Fortu nately the enemy had not acquired akili ir gunnery when they received those cannon as a present from the very British they were now trying to bombard with them. Their shots were wild and went over the front line and short of the fort, and finally, when Grant’s marksmen got the range oi the green artillerists, guns and all disap peared. , ~ following morning the attack was resumed, preceded by more harmless shell ing. The chances were piling up against Lieut. Grant and bis band of devoted Sepoys. Every hour added numbers to the Manipuri, for the tocsin spread like wild fire among the warloviog hill tribee, and learning that the conflict had begun, theli soldiers made all »P«k1 to put tbemselvCN iu the way of any English coming up from the outside.
