HOW GORDON WAS BEATEN.
Treachery Among the Native Troops Be-
lieyed TO have Caused the Defeat.

The London Times correspondent
gives an account of the recent battle
near Khartoum, which has been only i'm
perfectly told by the cable dispatches
The attack was delivered on the 10th of
March, with most unfortunate results.
The Egyptian troops, including a con-
siderable body of Bashi Bazouks, as
we'll as drilled Soudanese, numbered
2, 900 men of all arms, supplied with the
best modern weap0ns-Remington and
bayonets. The Times correspondent,
describing what followed, says Gas our
men drew near the rebels, the latter be-
gan to file away to the right of our line,
disappearing behind the sand hills. This
supposed retreat commenced at twenty
minutes to ten. At half-past ten all had
disappeared behind the sand hills. The
enemy's rear was covered by about sixty
Arabs, mounted on horses and camels.
Our line still advanced, and the artillery
fred two shells at the retiring rebels.
Our horsemen having entered the woods
at the foot of the sand hills, we saw to
our establishment the five principal Off
GERS of our force, who had been riding q
little ahead, dash back, breaking
through their own ranks. At that mo-
ment the rebel cavalry shot out at full
gaIlop from behind the sand hills on our
right. Their appearance was the signal
for disgraceful Sa,tUe gati 1oeaGt on the
part of our men, who broke up and
rushed back without firing a shot. The
sixty horsemen, who were only armed
with lances and swords, dashed about
cutting down the flying men. I saw one
Arab lancer kill seven Egyptians in as
many minutes. He then Jumped off his
horse to secure a rifle and ammunition,
when mounted Bashi Bazouk officer
cut him down. The rebel infantry now
appeared and rushed about in all direc-
lions, hacking at the men disabled by
the cavalry charge. This slaughter con
tinued for nearly two miles, our men not
stopping to fire a shot. Then the Arabs
halted, and an officer rallied some of our
troops, and they commenced dropping
but harmless fire at the enemy, who
seemed content not to advance, but
treated MS with the greatest contempt,
some riding quietly on camels in front
of our muzzles. This continued till
midday, some of our men dropping
from stray bullets fired by the Arabs.
The rebels then drew off to their old
position, carrying lot of rifles and
cartridges and one mountain piece"
The loss of Gordons force was about
two hundred killed; the enemy's loss did
not exceed four. ''From this" says the
Times representative, twill be clearly
seen the worthlessness of the soldiers
now left in Khartoum with which the
government seem to think General Cor
don can work wonders"

A Useful w eapOn.

Judge NJ says that many years
ago, when starting out to seek his for
tune for himself, he went to the south
western part of Texas. Riding one hot
August afternoon along cartroad cut
for many miles through the chaparral,
his pony stopped with such sudenness
that he was nearly thrown forward over
the animals head. Said he, in further
description, 81 got off and looked about
to see what the trouble was, and soon
found about rod ahead huge rattle
snake asleep across the roadway, his
head down the slope on one side, and
his tail III the gutter on the other. [
tried to make the pony jump the snake,
but he wouldn't bulge. There wasn't
a stone or stick big enough to handle in
sight, and / had no firearms. I was in
a pickle, but [ couldn't go back, and
didn't like to stay where I was. How
ever, while considering the situation, I
saw away ahead on the further side of
the RATHER sapling-such as is used to
bind hay upon a rick. Hitching my
pony to the brush, 1 stepped back so as
to get good start, took a running jump,
leaped over the snake, ran to the sap
ling, grabbed it with both hands, ran,
swinging it over my head, back to his
slumbering snakeship, and whacked him
right across the neck, breaking it at once

that my sapling was the snakes mate,
and that the same blow killed it also. y

The Dominican Monastery.

The new Dominican monastery in New
ark, n. j., has been visited by thousands
and inspected with a curious interest.
The monastery is gloomy square, plain
Gothic structure of rough brown stone.
1t has no ornamentation whatever, and
is said by the architect to be COPY of
monasteries of the same order in the Old
World. ITS weird aspect, the fact that
it is the only house of the order in
America, and the austere life which the
nuns have already begun to lead there
caused many people to await impatiently
the opening of the monastery for public
inspection.
The cells of the monastery contain
only bed, chair and table, with a
brown stone pitcher and basin. They
are each 8x1O feet, and have for beds
wooden tables, covered with tick con-
tanning little straw. The Prioress of the
house was formerly known as Miss Julia
Crooks. Night and day two nuns kneel
constantly before the Host. They all
rise at midnight and pray for two hours.
They then return to bed and sleep until
$50 o'clock, when they rise and engage
in prayer In their cells. At o'clock they
go to the chapel for private prayer and
to assist in the mass. At o'clock lit
tie coffee and bread are partaken of, and
from $50 to 1870 the nuns work in the
community room. Devotions follow till
IL o'clock, when plain dinner is eaten.
Meat is never eaten. From dinner the
nuns go to the cloister or garden for rec
reation. Except at this time there is no
conversation in the house, save such talk
in undertOnes as may be absolutely
necessary.
There are now in the monastery fifteen
full nuns, who wear white habit and a
black veil; six lay sisters, who wear
white habits and wells and black aprons,
and ten postulants. who dress III black.

THE TERRIBLE ABATTIS.
How the Attacking Party Must Suffer and
Go Down.

Let regiment move out of the shelter
of piece of woods to charge breast
work defended by infantry and artillery,
and one man out of every ten will be
killed or wounded by shell or round-shot
while the lines are forming. Within one
minute from the time the nearest man
comes within range of the musketry and
grape forty men will drop. During the
rush at least twenty more will go down,
and as the troops reach the works they
will meet with such a fire as will break
up all organization. One time in forty
the works will be carried. Thirty-nine
times out of forty the attacking troops
are driven back with loss of from 200
to $50 men.
Take that same breastwork, having a
headlog to fire under, and run an abat-
tbs along its front and it is nothing short
of murder to send men against it. Let
the abattis be simply winrow of small
trees and brush, and no column can pass
it without halt. Men must lay down
their muskets and drag at the obstruc-
ton and the broken lines must be re-
formed, and that within thirty feet of
the muskets having a dead rest. Make
the abattis of sharpened stakes, with
tn6H DuUG 6nQS driven Ueep 1nUO IHo
earth and the center firmly fastened to a
rail running parallel with the works, and
500 men behind the works can hold them
against 5000. Let telegraph wires be
strung from tree to tree or post to post,
as was sometimes done, and unless the
attacking party bring axes their dead
will be piled up three feet deep all along
the wire fences.
At Spottsy lvania there was a slashing
in front of that point on Lees lines called
the Horseshoe. The butts of the fallen
trees were toward the works-their
sharpened limbs toward Grant. Con,
federates stationed in this Horseshoe
killed an average of ten Federals each.
An abattis near Lost Mountain, during
Sherman's Georgia campaign, aided a
force of 600 Confederates to defeat a
movement made by a Federal force of
4, 400 men. At Fredericksburg the stone
walls were an abattis and could not be
passed. At Gettysburg Hancock's posi-
ton was made impregnable by such
walls. At Second Bull Run every posi-
ton on either side covered by walls or
fences was held to the last. A creek five
feet wide and six inches deep would not
stop the wanderings of a child, but it
has more than once halted division and
held it under such fire that whole COM
panies were wiped out.-M. QUAD.

Lady StradbrOke Snubbed.

London Truth says: 1t is quite mis-
take to suppose that ''the lady of title"
who Is morally responsible for the Lon
don World libel has gone entirely un-
punished. The Queen was exceedingly
angry with her; and she received an I'M
mlstakable hint that she would do well
not to attend the drawing room, and
Her Majesty also crossed her ladyship's
name ont OF the State ball and concert
invitation lists. Indeed the name would
have been permanently struck off the
buckingham Palace list but for the
Queens consideration for her ladyship's
blameiess husband, who has suffered as
much modification from the affair as did
the Due d'Ivry after his spouse's indis-
erection at that Congress of Baden of
which we read in "The Newcomes. -
my lady" has also received the cold
shoulder from Marlborough House, so
that altogether her position has been by
no means SO satisfactory as most people
suppose.
