Sldrmislung began 15 soon as we were out of the furtificatious, Led for four hours we were pestered and' in/toyed and put to considerable loss of life. rhea we reached the mountain pass known ss the ii asp wa, and here a road ,eagle in front the north called the park way. While the column rested, 200 of us Pioneers pushed up this Way for a mile on a reconnoisailce, and found a small, but strong, stone fort, whieh had just been aeeerted byr the datives. Word was scut back, and the result was that " 13" company, which numbered fort- seven men, was detailed to occupy the fort. which the at oueo christened " Fort Baker.[' Tlie officer in command was Lieut. ] ra yne seconded by the orderly sergeant and a first corporal. We had been badly broken up in the campaign and our commissioned and non-eomtmsstoned officers were badly scat- tered, some [lead, some in the hospital, athcrs on detached service. I may he pardoned for adding t,h '.�. I was the corporal alluded to above. a fort was built at a spot where the way or road left the hills and crossed a valley about half a tulle wide. We were at the soutsieret edge of this valley on a detach- ed hill, which was higher than any other romtd within gunshot. There was a fine spring on this hill, ata the natives had en- closed it in a square fort covering UM square feet of ground. It was not the work of an engineer. but they had laid rip walls three feet thiel; with the boulders At hand, left moss Fon MrSHi:'rs, and the single gate was only three feet wide and was commanded by a ten -pound field piece, which had been captured front Baker several weeks previous, The Q rrison of this fort bail been called out to assist in bolding the main siass against our army, and it had deputed in such a hurry that we found 400 pounds of powder, ti M peptide of lead, forty- matekets, sixty blankets, and a largo stock of pro- vdeious left behind. There was also both shell and grapeshot for the field piece. Not doubting that we should be besiged as soon as the army was out of sight, we set to work to mae everything sung. The gate- way was blocked the extra muskets loaded, ana the mea assigned to positions itt squalls. We took possession about noon, and up to 4 o'do,k the sounds of lightiug in the main' lase ewe 1pleinly to our ears. They bad seatrely died away when we eau ;ht sight of sixty Afghans appr,naelriatg us by a narrow pathway from the west, They bad tees, dawn in the lirubtra fighting our column, but hail hem driven off, They were a potion only of the garrison ; the balance beat kilicd by ]lriti:ih bullets. These fellows approached us without the slightest rugIpTeton, and their first warplane way a v'o1ley whiarlt lthtaeked over a full dozen Thoso who had been spared tool: cover, and from that moment began a siegte which is mentioned in British war records as enmbin- ia "i asgarity, pluck, and endurance to ale gree seidant known to modern warfare." On that famous march to (,'abut the a aateh• word WAS "Press on." Itt More than a score of hhatanaes the British army left native garrisons to the richt: left, or rear of them, 'here was about as duels danger in the rear as in the front. It was eanstantwitrfare on e linea hundred utiles long. We knew pretty well what to look for, and were in no wise disappointed , Wit/Cf TUE RCS wan DOW to find ogre lvea besieged by a force of at least MO natives. Our coup had dumfounded them, however, and not a gun was fired luring the afternoon or night. They must 'iiplan how best to overcome us. And the pro. blew no doubt worried thetas. IVo had four stout walls ten feet high, oceans of tho pur- est water, and provisions for sixty days. It urns hard tc tigure against that, and we turn ed in that ni 'ht -with a feeling that wo would be left tuclisturbed, Nothing whatever occurred toalau'm us, and during all itoxt fore- noon we did not cateh sight of a natives 'Exactly at coon a native hoarirlg xt flag of truce Came across the valley. As we did not want him to know our strength. 1 was sent out to meet him ten paces from the gate. He was a span about thirty years old, firm in look, and dignified in bearing. and he did not waste any time in getting down to business. "I demand the surrender of the fort," he. said in 'broken English. "And if we surrender ?" I asked, "You will all be put to death." "But if we refuse?" "It will be death just the same," "Then we refuse," I replied, having been told by the Lieutenant to take my own way to get rid of him, The native stalked of 'without another word or look, audsoon disappeared across the valley. Ten miuuteslater thiel field pieces opened fire on us with solid shot from the cover of a mass of rocks and bushes about 600 yards away,, Every ball struck the north wall, but they might as well have been bullets for all the harm they (lid. W'e let them fire away for half au hour, and then four of the men who carried elephant rifles which hail been picked up at Peshaw•ur wont to the loopholes and dropped two gunners .apiece inside of two minutes. This caused the battery to withdraw inua hurry, and we were bothered no more that afternoon: Piled against the eastern 'wall of the fort on the inside was a largo quantity of heavy poles and rude planks. • We had at first supposed this material to have been brought iu for firewood, and had used some of ie for our fires. It stow occurred to the Lieutenant . that there were not enough loopholes in the wall to accommodate oven our small force, and that the natives had brought in this stuff to erect platforms. He at once set the. whole force at work, and we did not knock off until midnight, Then we had a solid platform against the north and east walls, beings al;put seven feet high. ' This would enable a to use the top of the walls as a breast . lt,, The other two sides of •the fort could not be scaled from the .nature of the ground, which sloped at a sharp descent. . The night passedquietly, and Some of our men began to think the natives had with drawn from our looelity to go to the -front. Those' of us who had fought them before knew better. At 8 o'clock I•got upon the platform with a spyglass, and looking Theo ens: TiltCKLT on the other side of tate valley was sure I could see at least 500 natives. That was re- • allyonly half the number. ' From the -.move' could see I f ltice Iain ' 1 tBose I e r 1 nen s oftt to ' " Y were about to charge, and I had scarcely re- ported this when they broke cover with yells and shrieks and dashed at the fort. The idea of the platform must have been an in- spiration. But for it the fort would have been taken in five minutes. There were only seventeen loopholes on a wall 100 feet long, making them almost six feet apart. Owing to the thickness of the wall one coyld only fire point blank through a igophole. These holes were perhaps four inches square. As.tha•natives bloke cover the loopholes stere manned and the rest of the force order- ed on to the platform. Reaping ahead of the main line were thirty or forty men,'eecii with a great stick in his hand. After them came as many more, dragging rude ladders, the rungs of which were inacdeof vines,. At the very first hash, and without losing over three or four men, the fellows lugged up every loophole, and a minute later their ladders were set against the wall. Without orders, real zieg the situation, the seventeen men at°tine loopholes made their way to the platform. Each of us bad over two feet of space to cover, making a long thin line. The natives swarmed up the ladders like so many monkeys, and though we had a great advantage in overtopping them, they show- ed such recklessness that we had four men I billed and two wonuded before We repulsed •them. After emptying our muskets we used the eouet alone, and some of ,sl- ed sen or eight of the assailalts.Athey became demoralized and started to retreat we opened on them with the excra muskets, and when the last gun had been fired we counted 133 dead men in sight. ]tut for the platform they world heve swarmed over the wall like so many bees. From this hour the real siege was entered upon. Bodies of natives were stationed on every side of us syithin musket gauge, mut a steady and harassing fire was maintained night awl day. After the first two daya ars tillers; was employed. Although it ryas not heavy enough to breach ti.e walls, it answer- ed the purpose of anttoy-iug us. Our killed we had to bury inside the fort, nor could we get outside to do anything with the Afghan dead. All laver; Abotht halters acre of ground, and so near us that after thirty-six hours We began to sent the taint in the air. It was the plan of the enemy to leave the dead there To worm orit DESTP.ri rely , and for a time it seemed as if sarc ess would attend it. flu the morning of the fourth Clay we had twelve very sick risen, and the ardor was something awful. Fortunately the wind took a shift end relieved es just before noon, end the troops to the south of us bad to retreat before the horrible taint borne lin Cho breeze. About noon, while run nraging in the underground storehouse, I carte across a barrel of alcohol. which had been captured with some other lt,agaoea month before. If the Afghans knew what it was, tlheyhnd not touched it, In a. ease beside the barrel were quantities of quinine, etorphine, calomel, and other drugs,. which our hospital carps had lost at the sante time. When I reported the find to the Lieutenant I also tuado a re- quest of him. and after eousidrrahlo argu- ment it was granted. Night carne on with a etrong wind from the north and an orerrast sky, taut it was only fairly dark when I was let out of the gate with twaailfnls of the alcohol. The natives were tiring away as usual, and as I walked down a;wnig the dead I heard the zip of ballets all around me. I had a saturated cloth over my mouth aid Catton is my nostril, and I could stand the odor very well, There was considerable glues and brash au the field, and I distribut- ed the alcohol pretty liberally over both the soil and the dead. It took four trips to empty the barrel. It w.rs then .knocked to pieces and the material carried out. The last (Ret was to light a match and set fire to a paper, and a minute later I was safe in the fort and the fold of the dead was alt;ablaze. Before midnight we had griped oat the threatened danger, lunch to the chagrin and indignation of the natives, The relief came too late, however, for some of our poor fob lows. Within tho next three days we had five deaths, every one of them, no doubt, dna to tiro pestilential odor, and the con- stant strait of watching bad begun to tell upon all the living. We hail been afraid the natives would bring ftp a mortar and drop shells into the fort, but we had been besieged for three weeks before they got one into position. They opened fire ono Afternoon, butof ten shells sent into the ;air to drop DOWN ON ors BEADS all went wild. Thon the mortar burst, ltillingt ail aromul it, and wo were sate, tin the fortieth day front the hour we enter- ed the fort the natives made another dash at the walls. Our force was now reduced to thirty-one mets, and four of those were uown with fever and unable to raise their heads. \Vo hail warning of the Clash, null were prepared for it. Every mau on the platform had three load- ed muskets. Wo took thirteen loaded shells belonging to the gin, cut the fuses short, end laid thong on the wall. Beside each was a piece of lighted punk, It was estimated that there were fully 600 natives in the attacking party, and they carried about fifty ladders. The fight didn't last ten minutes. It was the shells we rolled down among 'eat which did the work. I be- lieve the deed and wotnlded were fully 200, but they could afford that loss better than we could the three we had killed outright. The cool weather had now come, and on the night of the tight snow fell to the depth of six inches. For two clays after not a shot was fired. Then, for the next twenty, we had merest day .orMight. They did vat at- tempt another assault, but coolly calca- latetl to wear tis out. A few more days would lbuve aocomplished this. On the sev- enty-first day of aur investment we were re- lieved by a British force, butthere were only eight men of us able to stand on our feet. In all, only twenty-two of us were alive. On the clay of the relief fifty Afghans could have sealed the walls and taken the fort. Fashion With the Maori. • It appears that white women are respon- sible for the rapid depoptttatiun of New lea - land. When female missionaries went among the Maoris they insisted that the Maori women should wear clothing. The latter could not be induced to overcome their prejudice against skirts, but discovering that the missionary women wore corsets, they decided that the latter was a garment not wholly devoid of merit. The result is that every Maori woman goes about her daily work neatly clad iu a corset laced as tightly as the united efforts of half :a dozen staZ'wart warriors can lace it. Being • unaccustomed to tight lacing the women are dying off with. great rapidity, and the repentant female missionaries now regret that they ever asked their dusky sitte, s to consider the ques- tion o uestion. of clothing, A Welsh • Song.

Though unable to read one word or even distinguish ono letter from another, Archie WAS master of the PresbyterianShorter Cate ehism, could quote whole eltapteis, are looks of the Bible, and baying once heard a sermon, could repeat it almost word for wol;d at any snbsegnent time and not °lily so het, with the t=issue in- tonations and geetul'es as.the origu u preaelh er.

Equally good, how- ever, aresoine others which tete doctor either skipped over or bad never heard. On one occasion Archie, pacsiug the residence of a minister wito had not previously treated him kindly, noticed the "proprietor outside pulling seine fruit trout one of tl;e orchal;l trees. Archie at once began to pelt hint' with stones, making his mark nearly every time, and shouting out with each .shack`: "t Yon, scoundrel, you, stealing the worthy minister's fruits." On another occasion Archie, on being denied a Saturday night's shelter by the same clergyman, slept on a hill near by, got up in the morning. killed one of the minister's finest roosters, disem- bowelling it and fitted it on to his head for a cap.. He titch proceeded gravely to church. took a front seat, and at almost every para- graph of the sermon greeted the preaehsr with a majsetic nod in which • the rooster !l ureal conspicuously. and the expression "[ Welt done, $troanw It thig novo).

The only other occupant of the hat was an old man of about seventy who lay snoring on his bed.

It course of time the old man awake, and by the glimmer of the peat firo noticed Itis strange visitor who was looking intently at him. By degrees the hairs began to rise on the old man's heed ; the breath came in gasps, and at length with a dreadful effort, he asked in broken accents: " Anutn whfa en ha these?"
