Rill 1 heal'Work of the Niger Et minden
Against Nape.
A despatch from Bide gives addi-
tional details concerning the advnnre
of the columns of the Royal Niger
Company's expedition against Iles Emir
of Nupe. The figlltiug in the vicinity
of Bide, the Foulah capital, which was
stopped by darkness on the evening
of January 20, Was resumed at day-
light an tete morning of January 27.
rlalf of the British forces, which con-
sisted of 5110 troops, six Maxims, 00
mounted officers, and 900 carriers, were
ordered to crass a ravine near the ridge
on which, the troops of the Royal
Niger's Company's expedition lead been
stationed during the night. As they
crossed the ravine it was noticed that
Lhe Foulah scouts were watching. The
Lroops accox•dingly formed in a half
square, the guns following. The rear
half of the force then closed on the
front half, forming a complete square.
The British forces advanced steadily,
halting every 200 yards, for thepurpose
of allowing the guns to keep pace. The
massed forces of the enemy soon ap-
peared, even covering the sugar
slopes, constituting a splendid pano-
rama in their semi -barbarous cos-
tumes. The square of the Royal Niger
Company's farces was soon complete-
ly surrounded by 30,000 cavalry and
footmen. 'The seduction from the es-
thnate of 30,000 made on January 20
was due to tike death of two of the
important Princes, rulers of the Mos-
lem States, allies of the Mohamme-
dan Emir of Nupe, and vassals like
the Emir of Nupe dependent on the
great MoJtaaivnedan Empire of Sokoto,
When these two Princes and rulers
wero killed by the shells of the Bri-
ish their forces withdrew from the
army of the Emtr of Nupe.
The itoyal Niger troops continued to
advance slowly until 1 hey reached a
ridge commanding Bida. They then
took un a strong position on the' re-
verse at the slope, and continuer) to
reconnoitre throughout the day, Their
forces were constantly harassed by
the Foulah sharpshooters, who daring-
ly advanced to within a hundred yards
of the square. Swarms of the enemies'
°avulary charged on the Royal Niger
farces, but they were badly shattered,
owing to the e£feolive use of the
Maxim guns. At 10.30 the artillery
bombarded the town, six Maxim guns
playing on the gradually retiring mass-
es of the enemy. At noon the ad-
vance company, of the troops entered
Bide, which is a town three miles
square. Bombarding of a portion of
the town was resumed, however, last-
ing until 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
when one-half of the Massa troops
took possession of the town, Only 15
of the Houssa troops were wounded.
The losses of the Foulah forces wero
enormous. The brother of the Emir
of Nupe and many of the Princes were
severely wounded. by a shell which
exploded among the members of the
staff of the Emir, killing two men who
weresanding within a toot of him at
the time. All the Foulah Princes God

Crushed le by a temple of heavy blows.
There was evidence of a severe strug-
gle before the victim succumbed.
There was no trace whatever of the
murderer, ;rho must astonishing fea-
ture of the crime was the fact that
the train's longest run between sea -
Huns was only five minutes, and no-
body hod seen or heard anything to
esti( e suspioion.

only on long runs. .1t is impossible talus
far to assign even a motive for this tra-
gedy. Nothing has been found con-
nected with Inc murderer except his
weapon, which was n. chemist's heavy
pestle. This was discovered near the
line at Putney about three utiles out.

but it is hardly possible that the mur-
derer attempted an outrage for, with
the tine at his disposal it must have
been necessary actually to kill the wo-
man on leaving one station in order
to crowd the body under the seat in
time to leave the train at the next,
11 is not considered possible that the
murderer remained in the carriage
while the train stopped at any =e-
state/1, for passenger's were likely to
enter at any moment, It is notknown
positively whether robbery was com-
mitted, for, although the wuman'spiu'se
was empty near the body, and no valu-
ables were found in her Rocket, her dia-
mond brooch remained tasteued at the
throat. It is supposed she had quite
a sum of money, but this is orally eon-

way stations with the crime, One the-
ory is that an escaped female lunatic
from Putney killed the girl. Although
experience has shown that the con-
struction of English railway carriages
is especially favourable to the commit-
ting of crimes of this kind, still there
was no appliance its the compartment

An elegant lady of the year 1810 worn
a dress of striped cotton or woollen
mnterhal, tied under the arms like the
neck of a sack! The skirt had not
even the elegance of length—it reach-
ed the ankles, no further. Throe wide
frills adorned the neck, Can anything
be more ungraceful than the hat? It
had the form of a hussar's headdress
and also its name. Another hat, call-
ed "Clorinda," was copied from the
helmet worn by the Amazon, Clor.nda,
when warring in the Holy Lancs, so
beautifully described by lasso, Wo-
men must have been pretty, indeed, in
those days, not to look hideous in these
fasbions.
Short skirts were worn even at court
during those days. They showed half
the leg, which was encased in silken
stockings and sandaled. shoes.
The ]tail was dressed in Omits, imi-
tating helmets, or in Chinese fashion,
Turbans were also sometimes worn, and
looked very pretty when the hair was
dressed accordingly. When no longer
worn by the young they became the
favourite headdress oC grandmammas,
and were tben laughed at by those who
had worn chem before,
Spencers, Carricks, wadded redingotes
and Vitehoirns also elate from this
