This morning we numbered the dead. A pall of heat bung over the land so stifling and ehalting that it made the brain throb in agony, says a letter from India. We 'went down a long, top- heavy, high -housed leen. Every i.00r was locked, every easement fastened. The inhabitants were all dead or had flown. Four Coolies came slithering their thin shanks through the dust and. shouting "Make wayl make way!"' On their shoulders rested a pole and. from it swung an ambulance. There was another victim. Round the corner we found a maze of smouldering rubbish in the readway, emitting horrible sickening fumes. Three Hindoos dragged bedding and raatting from a rictkety shanty, threw it upon the fire, and fanned'it to flame. They were destroying all the goods of a dead family. Down the street house after house bore the big red circle on its portals telling that death had been hungry there. We knacked at one door, There was no answer. ' We knocked. again. A wretched olde!man, narrow - chested, with his bony shoulders bent and protruding, his fingers long and skinny, his face, wrinkled, his eyes shrtY with fright, came and locked through the lattice. "Open!" "Why, sahibs; why, sahibs, should I open?" 1"You have sick- ness here." The old man 'trembled. "No, sahibs, there is no sickness here." "Open!" we said. With palsied hands he opened the door. Through a ,dark passage 'we struggled to a darker room. There were four women, and three men—poor, worn, physically WRETCHED BEINGS. "Are all well here?" "Oh. yes, sahibs; we are all well." "No one has had sick- ness?" "No, sahibs, none." We looked at the crouching crowd—the alerneyed, suspicious, lying lifitidoos—and glanced at the huddled women. "All are well?" "Yee, sahibs." We are about to turn when one of us exclaimed, "What is thief" The head covering was pulled front a woman. She was a shrivelled old creature. And she was dead; cold dead—dead of he plague. That is how the Shadow spreads over India. I am writing this at Karachi, the great port of Skid, with a conglomerate population of feeble Hindoos, fanatical Moslems, swaggering Afghans sullen but brawny Baluohis, and a dozen low - caste races. (The population is small compared with Bombay. But the vig- or of the plague is appalling. One walks through the streets with hesit- ating breath. to watch the hasty pro- cessions of the dying. to visit the search parties looking for the dead, te in- spect. the burning of the houses of the clead.a,nd the destruction of their cloth- ing. /When the plague first came it at- tacked the Hindoos. "Ah," said the Mo- baramedaes, "this is a Hindooscourge; we have eothing to fear." But death has cast its dull, sinister eye on the Mo- hammedans, and thy die like flies. "Al- lah Is angry aide us; we have done wrong; it is a visitation!" they say. Some months ago the statue of Queen Victoria in Bombay was tdisfigured. "Sahib," said a furrettearowed, large - boned, rusty-voicedMoicammedan to me, "sahib, I naderstana all. The English Government le displeased. They think we natives did the mdigeity. And they punish us; they are poisoning all our • people. Ah, sabile you smile. Allah is great and this is the truth. When our people fall sick your dooters come to them. They give them poison. Then they die. Sahib, beve I not seen? Do is not known? All the people in India are to be allied that way." , So the raving infection sweeps on its pestilential course. lt is hid from the authorities; • WHOLE FA:NIMES SUCCUMB. When a case is discovered medicine will not be taken. "It is poison; you want to poic,on me!" is the cry. Fighting against the wildest fanaticisra, strug- gling bravely, but often downhearted- ly, beseeehing, urging, ceereing—thet is the work of the authorities, The Mo- hammedans have a verse from the Kor- an blessed by a priest. They tie it in a leather case upon their arms. if that will not induce Allah to keep off the visitatiom, what will? Before the plague came Karachi was cleansed. Every native house and shop was whitewashed,. Families and their goods were bundled into the roadway, and the people sat on their lean haun- ches watching the TTOPh of the cleaners. Suddenly the black death appeared. It settled ineone district, and then, oct- opus -like„ stretchecllong arms for fresh victims. When a, man died all the friends and relations crowded into the feted, vile-odored hole to wash the corpse, and wrap it in white raiment. That day, when the body had been pushed into a sandy grave outside the town, the friends and relations sicken- ed.. The next day and the day after it was they who were washed and, put in white clothes. The children did net die, Perhaps it was because their blood was fresh and clear; maybe the reason was that they had not touched the dead. But their fathers and mothers were dead, and they had, no one to eare for them. No native thought of precaution - tasking. ' If they were to die they would (lie. ,Waten the scourge gnawed the life from whole. etreete !terror crept into the hearts of thepeople. Then they fled in thousands. The municipel auth- orities, medical officers, and native as- sistants hunted for the ailing. But when a man or a woman fell ill it was kept a secret. In the „Mohammedan quarter the huts are the flimsiest—no- thing but slim poles covered with mat- ting. When the officers go round the frigbtened /elks raise the matting and pusk the sick person into the next hut. On the outskirts of the, town, on a dry waste the raunittipality has erected hundreds of hate. Here the, richer Rie- de:is were prevailed on to live, 2,500 of thern. But the plague broke out fer- oreouely. Walking through the lanes I sew dozens of gaps. Tha3r marked the places ot death, for the huts had been !Aimee clo-wa.

There is a wailing and. exeStateelete*Rt this. I saw a ragged„ dirty Thaaily clinging to one, another, soreechine, to be saved. They were looking on with strained and tear-filled eyes at their little possessions burning in the street. They saw the doors of their miserable hovel fastened and the painting of the sign ot death. When the plague rages blindly in one cluster of houses, then everybody remaining in the district is hurriedto the camp; I met a Man whose. wife died last sight. "Sahib," he said, "I know 1 am to be '4110. ,MY wife was killed. All eur , %lees are being eillect. fliers is an English, lady doctor -going among them.

But here, where there is religious fanaticism, caste hatred, trouble in dealing with Mohammedan woraone lethargy, apathy, suspicion, it is like beating with open palms against a sturdy wall. Blindfolded and with their hands tied, the authorities wage war against this demon of desolation. The news* to -day is worse, and all ef- forts seem hopeless. We went to the plague hospital to see scenes shudcleringly, repulsive, hor- rible, and. bloody, and make the flesh cranes at the bare remeroarance, It Is rarely till the last moment that the natives think of bringing their sicken- ing relatives to the English sahibs. They sometimes bring them dead, Three flied yesterday within two min- utes of their arrival. It is this keep- ing away from the hoepital till near the fatal stroke that makes the work of the doctors so hard and leads to the natives saying that whoever enters its door never eomes out alive. Scraggy and emaciated are the still -breathing sufferers. So feeble are some, no hand can be raised. to keep off the flies. Loose gauze lies over their heads. A poor, little trembling Hindoo girl was brought into the female ward. Her eyes stared with the tension of dread. "Oh. dent kill me, sahibs; don't kill mei" she pleaded with thin voice and outstretched hands. A man patient ar- rived. His clothes were taken off to be destroyed, e,nd he is being washed. "There is not a bed to spare," says the doctor. A tour of the ward is made. "Yes there is," comes the intelligence; "here is e man dying. In five min- utes the new patient can have his bed." "Oh, that we had. some good, devot- ed nurses," sighed the commissioner ten days ago. "How many do you want?" asked a Roman Catholic priest. "As many as possible." "You shall have them." Next day there came all the available Sisters of Mercy from a near convent. And I saw them min- istering to the sick this morning with a gentle love beautiful to behold, sof t- voioed and cheerful, unmindful of all the dangers they ran. While panic- strioken Europeans scrambled from the plague, flying to ,every corner of the earth to escape its fell embrace, these loyal women are giving their lives with sweet devotedness. They are Sis- ters of Mercy indeed. NEED OF CA.UTION. Mrs. McInty—An' phat did tle doc- iler coy wen th' matter wid y'r eye, Patsy?

You must think' of Leery as an old man now, sixty-seven yeaxs old next Docerhber, with iron -gray hair and big, loose-jointed bands, and a face rather severe for an Irishman—a face still rug- ged and healthy—and: a memory that pictures Cawnpore and Meerut as viv- idly as though it were but yesterday that Delhi fell instead of forty years ago. Larry was at Ferozepore when the mutiny broke out. Ferozepore, almost the first of the cantonments in which the rebellion showed itself, was at that time one of the largest arsenals in per India, and, as Larry puts it, "The kay at Punjab." Larry had enlisted eight years before In Kilkenny,' where he was born. "There was quite a bow -wow out in India at that time," says Larry." The Sikhs broke out in the Puejab and there was a lot of the bys gem', ye mind. There was about sixty or seventy of us around Kilkenny that enlisted. "I remember well that marcb, 1,846 miles from Calcutta. it took us six months to get there and when vele arriv- • ed the war was over, do ye mind. The Sikhs were all quiet." • In 1854 the war with Rues'a broke but, • and a year later Donovan's regiment got their rout for the Crimea, so they marched from their station in Upper India to the coast 'or embarkation. sleeping by day, marcbing by night, fol- lowing the narrow post -road along the waterways, where the camel riders, carrying the mails, passed swiftly up and down. "Wild beasts did ye say ?" says Lar- ry. "Didn't we have to light fires to keep them offn us? Mony a toime I've looked out into the woods, seein' their round eyes gleamin' or heard them roar'n' by night in the jungle. "And thin there's the hyanas in the hill country. There's the murdern bastes for ye. The hay wan laughs and the shay wan cries. " There's tbe repttiles and the fly'n' bugs and all the kinds of erayp'n' things that God iver made." And so making its painful way back to the coast the battalion came at last in sight of the spires and minarets of Calcutta, only to bear the boom of the guns announcing the fall of Sebastopol, and learn that the war in the Crimea was over. Then came the frightful revert of the Beneal army in 1857. "It was all along of the grased cart- ridges," said Larry, explaining the cause of the mutiny. "The chief padre was the cause av it, He baked a cake and he sine pieces of it all over India, and he told the Sepoys that tbe English were goin' to turn thin) all to Chris- tians, and he told, thine if they bit the gra,sed cartridges they twould break their caste. Ye know in those days if ye didn't have your front teeth ye were onfit fer earvice? Ye couldn't pull the cartridges from tbe rifles. "There was a plot in our cantonment to bus n the church and chapel on Sun- day morning, when we were all assem- bled there, but a Sepoy drummer told Capt. Jones of the Sixty-first, and we did not go to ehnrch that Sunday,. but remained' and guarded the naegazine." STORMING OP DELHI. That is Larry's vivid, but- fragmen- tary story of the begietang of the great mutiny which resulted in the most des- perate war that a eivilized nation ever fought. In the terrible drama thus be- gun the slaughter of 'Cawnpore. the • siege of Luckhow, and the storming of Delhi were the chief incidents. It was at the storming of Delhi, the capital city of the insurgents, 'contain- ing the palace of the last of the Moguls, where all the fabulous wealth of India was gathered and where the old king lived as his ancestors had lived before hina, a life of luxury and vice, that Larry gained his medal. It was on Sept. 14, at sunrise, that the army stormed the city. It had been for months outside the city, waiting for the siege guns to arrive,. themselves More besieged than besieguig. Thirty times the rebels had poured out of the city to the attack, but every time had been defeated. But at last the siege guns arrived and battered at tbe walls mere gate: The walls of Dei, accord- ing to Larry, were pure granite, and tuhnetmil.there was a breach near the Cash- lhyou could rIde around on the top of The attack was to be made al day- break, but during the night the Sepoys had filled up the breach in the walls with sand bags, and it was necessary to use the guns again to clear the walls ianngelpbarretay. kdown the obstructions.

"But they. went under cover, and whim we ran forwerd with the little agnaboo ladders they Isere so tbiek on the ;walls that we brushed them off with the butts of our guile, and the of- ficers ery'n: "Save your powder and give them the steel,' There were three men killed below me on my ladder, and I got that long sabre cut you see there across ray for'ed and a bullet in my shoulder.

One of tele chief personalities of a &alma enacted at Ternorke, near aereaspot; was a woman called Vit- alia, who was a prophet, priest and ipreaclier. She was the daughter of re- spe,ctable, well-to-do parents, and was fairly wen educated. • Sthe entered an orthodox convent in her youth, but later joined the Raskolniki. Some thne ago SHE SUDDENLY VANISHED and was not heard a until her body was exhumed at TerneOce.
