The Exeter Times, 1879-4-17, Page 2A. CAVALRY CHARGE. The wain correspondent of the Lan. dots Standard writo•s from the seat of of war in A.fghttuiatall, under data of February 18th. He thus describes a cavalry charge : "At this moment Major Stewart, of. the $th Punjab Cavalry, happened to ride with a troop of thirty men. The escaping enemy were pointed out to him. They epperetl to be thousands. though actually they did not number more than 500. G ‘u. Roberts thought he had better charge. ittajor Stewart said he wasa'gnite ready. "Was he to nuke prisoners ?" "No, your small force cannot afford to take prisoners, Was the reply; whereupon the word of command was given, and away wont the cavalry acroes the country as fast as their horses could carry them. They cliappeared from sight for new seconds, where there was a depression in the grounds, thea they reappeared, and in another moment they were among the fugitives. Sabres flashed in the Air as each man bent down to his weak or wheeled to faoe a foe. Oue sower broke his tulwar over the head of an Afghan. Ee leaped from liisllorse,seized th edead man's gigantic knife and rode on in the charge. The dufieclar of the regiment and the finostiswordsman in it, was chasing a man, who turned round, took steady aitn with his jezail, and the duf. fedar fell deals, with a bullet through his head. Major Stewart was riding over a wounded eau, who bent upwards and delivered a out at the horse which took effect under its right eye. It was a brilliant charge, though a short one. The ground whore the sowers game no with the enetuy was strewn with dead and wonnded. Twenty -ono slain Af- ghans were couuted, and at least an equal number were foetid badly sabred. The punishment infiiot(•d upon the ene- my here would have been much severer had it not been for the feet tat bun- dreas of mea got into soft grounds, where the cavalry could not get at them, atoll afterwards escaped across the river.".

To remove rust from iron.—The easiest method of removing rust from iron is rubbing it with a rag dipped iu oil of tartar. The rust will disappear immediately. A good way to clean Japanese ware is to wash it with a sponge dipped in elean,00ld water, wide it dry and polish it with dry flour well rubbed ou with a, soft cloth. Sieves to be cleaned properly shonld be put in hot water contairintz a little soda or borax, but no soap ; scrub them well with a clean brush, rinse them thoroughly in plenty of boiling water and shake them dry. Simple remedies aro frequently the best fur headache. A. cup of sour milk spread upon a thin cloth and ap- plied to the head will many times give relief. Or a mustard piaster ou the black of the neck will often erase pain. To Cleanse Gilt Frames.—Take sof fielent flour or sulphur to give a golden tiuge to one and one-half pints of wa- ter; boil lel this water four of five nui- ous, strain, and when cold wadi with soft brush any part that requires re- storing.

"Dear Sir,—Iu 1802, T with two friends was atnoug the Kekanui ranges in Otago, on an exploring expedition. We had been travelling for about ten or eleven days, and were feeling court - clout we were the first humau boinge that had ever placed foot on that ground -- the wildness of the place world almost deter the people from go. ing—but it soon became evident that we were not the first, as I will prove. I had proposed a rest and a pipe, to which my friends agreed. After being seated for a short time chatting and smoking, my eye naught sight of some- thing white lying in the hollow of a stone ; of course my curiosity was aroused, and I wont to see. what it could be ; to my surprise it was one of Holloway's small pots, which had eon - Witted ointment. Yon may irnagiue our astouishmeut and disgust ab find- ing we were not the first who had been there, more especially as wo could find no traces of s damp, and had not seen auy fur many days. I took the pot, intending to keep it ; but in crossiug a stream which was rather strong and deep, I lost my swag and all it contained." (Signed) "EIlWARD C. ELL•CSDAN." A BLOODLESS MEETING. Hannibal, Into., is exercised over the details of a duel that fei:ed to occur iu that vicinity. it seems that the Clip per-Hearld of that place had an article reelecting upon E. 0. Bennett, of the Courier. Bennett wanted gore to ap- pease the passion excited by the attack ou his honor, and be challenged James Hayward, of the Clipper -herald. Hay- ward at once accepted, and the prelim- inaries were arranged by friends of the parties. Arrived on the field of honor it was discovered that llayward, lvho, as the challenged party, had the choice of weapons, had selected base -ball bats. '1'o the use of these Bennett objected, but Hayward insisted on the right which was his by virtne of the nude, and would not give way. He agreed that a baseball bat, scientifically wield- ed, is a deadly weapon,in proof where- of he cited the fact that he bad seen a man kill a steer with cue. It was a weapon which offered fnll scope fuer fence, and in the hands of a, skilful practitioner could be made just as et% fective as a razor or a. brickbat. There is jest as moth honor attached to hav- ing your brains battered out of shape with a club, as there is in securing your geietua with a bowie kui"e. So ar- gued bIr. Hayward, and we think he was quite right in pronouncing Mr. Bennett a poltroon and a coward be- eause he would not stand up and get pouuded with a baseb;ul bat.
