Hendry - ho though now bu, an humble
and crippled shoemaker residing In Rem
frew-ln nis stalwsrt youth. as a piper
in the gallant 18th Hiehlanders, sounded
the keynote Of the loud skirl Of pibrochs
heard by Jessie B:ovn and her belea-
guered companions when covering they
crouched, hourly expecting . horrible
death within the confines Of Luknow
Imagination may picture, but pen or
tongue could never pant, the scenes Of
that memorable day when the gallant
SIR Coin Campbell cheered on his brave
killed eountrymen 10 their WORK of res.
cue.
The stirring events OF that memOra Die
l2.h OF OCTOBER, 1858, occupy position
IN his.ory's PAGE which time cannot
eiace. Mr.. Hendfy, the subject of this
sketch, Is a scJtcbman by birth. He
enlis ed in the 18th Highianders in 1853,
At the early age OF IS, and almost imme-
diaieiv afterward was sen. from CnAl.
ham barracks to join his regiment IN
india. At that time the European gar
risen was hemmed IN al CARnpore by
the enemy, the 18th formed tie advance
Of the f4mous corps under Gen. Have
lock, who made such strenuous forced
marches to effect its reliei. Eeaders ~ill

ening sights witnessed by llayeiCck add
his followers On arriving gt CaSnpgre.
To- Nafa I'D
brave but detected general to his Jadel
troops, the poor people are AIi butcher
ed"
And true it was. The heroic hItle
garrison had struggled hard against thu
mutlneers until but few hours previous
to tie arrival Of Gen. HavelocA's oOni-
mand, when they were oyerwne.med By
an onslaught OF the SepOys, men,
women and children being massacrel
D cold blood, and their bodies cut up
and thrown into the wells Of the city.
A thrill OF horror ran through the relief
corps a. they beheld the heilIsh work of
the natives, and each registered a vow 10
ayenge the death Of their murdered
friends and relatives.
Al the relisf Of Lucknow Mr. Hendry's
regiment also formed the advance. and
here it vas that the peal OF ba.pipes lei
by him gave such gieam OF hope to
those weary, anxious Europeans inside
the city.
In this action M Hehdry was struck
In the len knee by nine-pOund cannon
ball, fred from the top Of 8 bungalow,
disabling him from further service. The
limb was ampGtated, and nov the old
veteran carries 4 reminder of ths, ep,-
sode Of his LIES history in the shape Of
a wooden leg. over which he still wears
the tartan trews Of MS old regiment.
Mr.. Hendry received two medals from
the British goyernment-one for service
in Persia, and the other tor the defense

Quite foreign-iike they are, too, with

no special rest but those OF the inland
country can draw from it deep and

When a business man wants a lot of
bill and letter heads, it is well to order
them about a week before the old lot
runs o1t. IN this way the printer will
not h rushed, and can do q neat and

until the last dill head is used, and then
rush !TanticalIy into newspaper office
and insist tIat they be finished in two
hours. Yesterday five men came to

A letterreceived here yesterday from
a prominent San Francisco capitalist,
saws there is no doubt that Mackay,
Fair and Flood are quietly making pre-
parations to withdraw from all their
Comstocil Interests. The writer says,
at present, this fact is only known to a
few Of the most intimate friends of the
bonanza people. But if they are sue
cessful in disposing of their property
the matter of the transfer will not re-
main a secret much longer. Sharon
and other wealthy CalifOrnians are
spoken of as successors to the bonanza
firm. The same letter states that
Mackay will, in all probability, open a
large banking house in New York, and
Flood will throw considerable capital
into Mexican railroad schemes.

stop Rushing.

A great many people are rushing OFF
to Wood River before the winter is fairly
over in that northern region. Two
thirds of them will wish that they were
back before they are a month older.
Men on the ground write that nothing
can be done for several weeks yet.
Those men know what they are talking
about, and their testimony deserves to
be needed. A correspondent signing
himself John Gibson, writing to the Salt
Lake Tribune from Wood River, says:
"People are beginning to rush in here
already, thinking that unless they get
here early their chances will be slim.
To such people would say that Wood
River is a large country, and will not
be prospected this year were there 5000
men engaged in prospecting alone.
Provisions are scarce, and it will be time
enough month hence to start for this
place. Living is cheaper in old estab-
lished camps than here, and nothing
can be done here yet in the way Of
prospecting"
