a WARRIOR QUEEN KILLED IN INDIA.
An Indian letter in the London Times
announces the death Of the Rance (Quccn)
of Jalnsi, Mt the hands of the British be-
fore Gwaior Though but % years ofngc,
she is said to have rcscmblcd the great Rus
sian Catherine in her administrative pow
crs, and upon the death of the late ruler of
Jhunsi was called to the throne. The wri-
ter adds:
Not lacking either spirit or ambition, she
accepted the offer, and for a time ruled we'll
But the spark had touched the train-Bon-
gal was in flame, and now or never was
her time to regain that independence from
the British yoke her ancestor had lost
We know what her first steps wcrc-thc
blood of our fellow-crcaturcs bears witness
to them; and though well meaning men
have cndeavorcd to show, and | sincerely
hope with truth, that the atrocities attribu-
ted to her were greatly overratcd, they still
admit, reluctantly, that these poor creatures
were only cut to pieces. Hcnccforth, Of
course, it was war to the knife. She be-
came the very soul of the movement in those
parts. Her forts were strengthened, her
men gathered together in masses, stores
laid in, and every preparation made for

male attire for greater convenience in the
saddle or the fight; was armed to the tccth
formed a small but devoted body-guard of
picked horscmcn, at the head of which she
appeared to be almost ubiquitous. Was
there tagging of the necessary fcrvor p
She was on the spot to rally and to rouse
Was there the voice of disaffection heard
She, by her presence, turned it to a shout
of joy. Was there danger on the rampant
wall, and men hung back in fear? There
sword in hand, she led the way and braved
the fury Of fiery storm Jhansi over
whelmed, she found her way with her bo-
dy-guard to Calpee. Here the same de-
tcrmncd will was seen, here the same spi-
ritshown. Beaten, but not conquered, she
rapidly followed the clever move of Tantia
Topee on the Gwalior, previous to which,
from the attack on Jhansi to the fall of Cal
pee, she had fought no less than six actions
against our forces, commanded by Sir Hugh
Rose in person As before at Jhansi, she
was always first at Gwalior and even at the
last, fell sword in hand, when struck by a
shell from Smiths battery
