A Reminiscence Of the Indian Mutiny.

A CASE which recently came before the
High Court at Calcutta recalls some of
the earlier horrors of the Indian mutiny
During the months of June and July, 1857,
the Twelfth Irregular Cavalry, which had
been raised and was commanded by Maj.
Holmes, took an active part in the preser-
vatlon of leace in North Behar and en-
joyed the confidence of its commander.
But one evening as Maj. Holmes and his
wife were driving in g buggy some three
or four miles from helines they saw Dahl
Khan, the duffadar Of the regiment, and
four or five troopers ride up. The Major
asked them why they were there and
armed instead of attending to their duty.
The duffadar answered with some foul
abuse, and, with the assistance of the
troopers, murdered his commanding Of
flcer and Mrs. Holmes, utting off both
their heads. The head and body of the
lady were thrown into ditch as was also
the body of her husband His head, how
ever, was carried by the miscreants to the
lines and displayed to the regiment, which
was then, with the exception of some sixty
men who remained faithful, marched off
by Dahl Khan to Lucknow After the
suppression of the mutiny Dahl Khan
took refuge in Lucknow. Trusting, APP
parently, that eighteen years had sufficed
to efface the memory of his crime he lately
ventured to return to his native village
He was recognized, arrested and tried.
All the witnesses were still alive and their
tales corresponCed exactly with the stories
told by them at a preliminary inquiry held
while the affair was yet fresh in their
minds An old woman had been spoken
to by Mrs. Holmes few minutes before
the murderers rode up and she gave most
graphic description of the tragedy The
Judge of Sarun sentenced the prisoner to
death, and when the case came up to the
High Court for the confirmation which
the Indian code requires for capital SEN
fences there could be no doubt or hesita-
ton The evidence was clear, and, in the
words of the presiding Judge, the "mur-
der was one of such atrocity that nothing
short of the extreme penalty of the law
would satisfy the ends of justice. "-L01adop

The other evening Vicksburg topper
got full and started for home, tooka wrong
direction, wandered into the outskirts of
the city, fell down, and lay beside the
fence all night He was aroused in the
morning by hog roofing him over, when,
leaping up and hanging to the fence, he
took look at the porker and exclaimed

MusicaI Kites.

In Central Asia the amusement of fly-
ing kites is as popular as in Europe or
America, but it is made to yield double
qualification. 1t delights the ear by an
emission of soft, melodious murmurings
at the same time that it pleases the eye
with its graceful, bird-like motions. Each
kite is so constructed as to produce the
effect of floating Eolian harp, and thus
the flight and the song Of winged warblers
are both initiated in the ingenious play
thing. Maj. Abbott gives description
of these musical kites in his Narrative
of q Journey from Herat to Khiva":
Each kite is a square formed upon two
diagonaIs Of light wood, whose extremi-
ties are connected by a tight string, form
ing the sides of the square. Over the
whole paper is pasted. A loose string
upon the upright diagonal receives the
string by which the kite is to be held, and
tail is fastened to its lower extremity.
The transverse diagonal or cross-stick is
then bent back like a strong bow and
fastened by thread Of catgut. Of course
every breeze that passes the kite vihrates
this tight cord, and the vibrations are
communicated to the highly-sonorous
frame of the kite. And, as numbers Of
these kites are left floating in the air all
night, the effect is that of aerial music,
monotonous, but full Of melancholy inter-
est" We suggest to some of the expert
mentative Youths of Chicago that they
equip their kites with an Holian attach
ment and test the effect on a quiet even
ing The wild, hayward music Of Eolus
is far more enchanting than any that can
be drawn from instruments played upon
by human ngers.-Ch5cogo Tribune.
