In peaceful times like the present. 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

(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.

THK I’ARTY HAS COME.”
enemies advancing across the open ground
in front of the fort. 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

In time there followed substantial honorv

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

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

following morning the attack was
resumed, preceded by more harmless shell
