diton. BY this diversion it was hoped to
hold the Western tribes in check.
This fort was stoutly built the central log
house barracks being surrounded With stout
works of oak palisades firmly set in the
ground and backed by dirt Two substan-
tial block houses fiankcd the works. the
armament of the fort was very light. The
artillery was concentrated on two gunDoats
commanded by Capt. Yieger. which was the
first war flotilla known on the Mississippi.
The seizure of So important point caused
quite stir at Mackinac, then the hendquar-
ters of the British troops, and before the
last palisade was in place an expedition had
been organized 10 reduce the fort. The
siege and defense which followed n month
or two later was fully as brilliant as those
further east which have passed down into
history. The attacking force consisted oil
eighty British volunteers. under the com
mand of Col. Mckay. with swarm of In
dian allies. which had been picked up en-
route. Fortunately. they were lily supplied
with ordnance, their only piece OF artillery
being a brass three-pounder
The little garrison came very near being
taken by surprise. having heard nothing OF
the approach of the British force. On the
Sunday morning which preceded the siege,
the officers of tho fort were preparing TO
take a ride over the plain which extended
back 10 the bluffs. As they were about 10
mount u hanger-on OF the garrison walked
into the stockade and cOOlly remarked that

That put an end 10 the ride and picnic
which was 90 have followed.
Instead of toasting forks and punchbowls'
muskets and ammunition were the demand.
All the inhabitants who could fastened 10
avail themselves of the protection OF the
fort. The gates were then closed and the
little garrison waited breathlessly for the
attack As the British force deployod on the
broad level plain. it was seen they outnum-
bered the garrison ten 10 one. Nutwith-
standing this great disparity I'm numbers.
Lieut.. Perkins and his command, confident
of the strength of their defenses. prepared
TO make a stubborn resistance. The two
gunboats were anchored so as to protect the
more exposed portions of the fort.
The Americans did not have long 10 wait.
A round shot from the brass three FOUNDER
of the besiegcrs opened the ball and lively
artillery duel followed with but little damage
TO either side. Finding he could not effect
break in the paisadcd wall. and annoyed by
the fire from the gun-boats, Col. Mckay

Two Miles of CannOa.

The great sight of Gibraltar is the
Notifications, which are on an immense
scale, as the whole circuit of the rock
is seven miles. But not all this requires
to be defended, for on the eastern side
the cliff is so tremendous that there is
no possibility of scaling it. 1t is fear
full to stand on the brow, and look
down to where the waves are dashing
more than a thousand feet below. The
only approach must be by land from
the north, or from the sea on the west
ern or southern side. The two latter
are defended by succession of batter
les carried along the sea-wall, and up
the side of the rock, so that there Is
not spot on which an assailant can set
his foot which is not under the fire of
guns. The northern side is pierced by
the great galleries cut in the rock,
which are the unique feature of Gibral-
ter, that distinguishes it above all the
other fortresses of the world These
were begun more than hundred years
ago, during the great siege, which lasted
nearly four years, when the inhabitants
had no rest day or nigh. After we
have passed through one tier, perhaps a
mile in length, we mount to a second,
which rises above the other like the
upper deck of an enormous line-of-bat-
tie ship. Enormous indeed it must be,
IL we can imagine double-decker o
mile long, AS we tramped past these
endless rows of cannon; it occurred to
me that their simultaneous discharge
must be very trying to the nerves of the
ortilleryman Of he has any nerves., as
the conclusion against the walls of rock
is much greater than if they were fired
in the open air, and l asked my guide
if he did not dread it? He confessed
that he did, but added, like the plucky
soldier that he was; We've got to
stand up TO it !"

Bathing and Personal Beauty.

Tepid water is preferable for every
season of the year. Milk baths have
been in favor from time immemOrial
with ladies, and nothing is better than
a daily hot bath of milk Nine. Salilen
was among the historical women who
bathed in milk, to which she added
crushed strawberries to give it an agree
able perfume. have also heard of an
old lady of eighty, who retained girl
ish complexion like cream and roses by
always washing in the juice of crushed
strawberries and nothing else. But we
can, fortunately, keep our skins healthy
and fair without resorting to these ex-
treme measures.
For full length bath bag of bran
will soften the water and make the skin
deliciously smooth and fair; but let me
here remark that no bath is perfect in
its results without the long and brisk
friction of hands or coarse towel af-
terward Friction not only stimulates
circulation, but it makes the skin
smooth and polished like Partisan mar
BILE. 1t is sometimes astonishing TO see
the change made in an ugly skin by
friction, and any lady who wishes to
possess healthful body, firm TO the
touch and fair TO the eye, with the elias
ITCHY of youth we'll prolonged into age,
must give willingly of her strength to
the daily task of rubbing the body thor
oughly. Dress.

A Queer Traveller.

Once, while keeping postoffice in a
stirring little town in Colorado near
the New Mexico line, one day gentle
man came into the Office carrying q
small package in his hand, which he
wished to have registered. Being busy
just then, placed the box on a desk
until | had leisure to attend to it.
Several times while writing L heard a
rustling noise that seemed TO proceed
from the box, and my curiosity being
aroused, l asked the gentleman what it
contained. He laughed, and said it was
horned toad-a species that is fire.
quently found there, in that paradise of
insects, reptiles, birds, and such things !;
that his friends in the East were al
ways wanting specimens of things to be
found "only in the West" and he had
concluded to satisfy their curiosity for
once. This species of toad, though
quite curiosity, could not by any
means DE called "a thing of beauty"
although not differing greatly from 9TH
er toads, yet those little horns project
ing from over the eyes give them a
most grotesque appearance, and one
could imagine the effect it would have
on a person opening box containing
one, and who would be expecting to
find only some specimens of ore or rocks
or some of the different species of cac-
tus found there. We fixed it up as
carefully as possible, leaving holes for
air in both box and envelope; but
whether it reached its destination alive
never knew, as never saw the gen
tleman again. But a seven days ride
in close mail bag would not be very
conducive to health, besides being
crammed in with all sorts of packages,
for Uncle Sam does regular freighting
business, by registered mail, in that
part of the world 1t seems to me,
however, that it would have been bet
ter to have kindly deprived it of life
before starting it on its long journey
