though his election agent did not
quite share his feelings about it. Mrs.
Brand says that she "just helped
where she could" She went to meet
ings, addressed the men, and sang to
them at the close of the meetings.
Once, by the river side, she sang to the
men at an open air meeting during the
dinner hour, as they clamored
loudly for a song. She has strong
voice, to which they like TO
listen. She was not at all nervous and
wanted to help her husband. "The
Wearing of the Green" and "Thady
O'Flinn" and "Off to Philadelphia" and
Brand for Cambridge" the latter an
election song, were the favorites with
the men. 1t was great campaign and
a battle well won by good man and
his courageous wife.

Hon. Arthur Brand, the newly elected
member of Parliament for Wisbech,
whose nard-fought campaign is we'll
remembered, has been warmly well
coined at his home by the peasantry,
and with his wife, who lent him
such material aid in the struggle,
has been lionized by the people. II

During the fortnight that he and his
wife were at Wisbcch there were three

first how the, election would turn,
but for the last five days Mr..
Brand knew he w% bid win,

SensonabIe Fashions.

Skirts are still quite plain at tho
upper parts, but those newly presented
are trimmed in various ways around
the edge. One way is to place full
putting just over the hem; another is
to edge it around with thick cord,
covered with bias band of silk.
Several such cords are often superposed
round the foot of the skirt. Or again,
the skirt is cut out into square turrets
or Vandykes, and outlined with a pip
ing or galloon.

for the stand pipe are IL inch in dia-

sively Fashion Notes. .s. sA,,...

The new skirts differ among them
selves in many particulars, but they
are alike in being long. They are
greatly widened at the foot also, and
often finished with full puff which
more than hints of rotund draperies to
come. The all-round reed has not
made its place good as dress dis
tender, but the dress improver"
has now reappeared in new
form. 1t is now narrow,
founced strip of grass cloth,
which is set under the back Of fam
plated skirt, and holds 1t out until
such day as the exiled hoopslSirt shall
cross the border with an army and
bodily claim its own, says fashion
writer In the New York Recorder. The
autumn dress has shorter waist than
the dress of the summer. 1t
has high sleeves, and 1t is in every way
likely that the dress of the winter will
also have them. Sometimes II has q
crock coat" cut almost long enough
to reach the knees, double breasted,
provided with revers and rolling
collar, and not by any stretch of the
imagination to be considered in any
light more favorable than is implied by
the phrase English and ugly" When
the frock coat has vest the vest is Of
chamois cloth or buckskin.

The Autumn Dress.

Sometimes the autumn dress has
broad belt, like those of the empire
dresses of two or three seasons ago.
For street dress this belt is often of
leather. This was the case with the
model from which was sketched the
plaid ..frock shown in the second illus
tration. Tan-colored tweed was the
material, checked with lines of bright
turquois blue, and bordered as well as
belted with the leather. The blouse
like bodice is style of which we shall
see mich in all fashionable probability.

dszed by the Eudscity OF the assault, fed
up the hillside.
Grant found 10 his amaZement that the
captured works were mile long and had
been occupied by 500 men, armed with
muskets and rifles. 900 of them carrying
the Martini. Superior 10 the best arms Of
the English opposed to them.
The capture OF Fort Thobsl took place
March 81. Esrly on April Grants patrols
saw the enemy advancing from a new posi-
tiou. 4 few good Shots. each sending Mani
puri TO the dust. drove them TO cover for sew
eral hours. Then they formed for advance
again. GrSnt placed 50 men in a walled
trench in front Of the fort, and in few
minutes thsir well aimed bullets sent the
enemy dying oGt Of reach. Then a new
daDger appeared, and for a time il looked TO

ing of his men had been IN vain. From the
camp Of tine Manipuri on the hillside there
sounded a loud BOOM" she'll went
screaming over the front line, where Grant
stood al the post of honor. and bursting

front lie and snort of the fort, and finally,
when Grants marksmen got the range of
the green artillerists, guns and all disap-

The following morning the attack was
resumed, preceded by more harmless she'll
ing The chances were piling up against
Lieut. Grant and his band of devoted
Sepoys. Every hour added numbers to the
Manipuri, for the tocsin spread like wild
fire among the warloving hill tribes, and
learning that the conflict had begun, their
soldiers made all speed to put themselves
in the way of any English coming up from

military chieftain and all of the troops of
the country. with the best arms and equip

services to England-were in front of Tho

massacre its valiant defenders.
Grant had only seventy rounds per man
for his Burmese soldiers and thirty per
man for his Gourka allies, and he aban-
dOned the outer trench and placed all
hands within the fort. When the Mani
puri crowded up to the trenches, 200 yards
away, the riflemen in the fort dropped
them by scores. 1t was only question Of
how long the enemy would swarm SO reck-

Lieut.. Grant handled rifle along with
the rest, and scattered many group of
Manipuri assailants by dropping some of
their number at long range. Several
sorties were headed by him against
assailants that had crawled close up
along the bitches and hedges that led
to the fort from all directions. In one
sortie, with only six followers, he crept
near enough to the enemy to use his re-
volver, and cleared out an angle of the
trench where they were making hot fire
upon the besieged garrison. Ten of the
Manipuri were killed in this sortie.
Returning to the fort, Grant found that
he had only ammunition for one hour more

the walls with orders not to fire except on

brave the day, brave the night,
throw my sorrows to the WIND.
And try to keep cheerful mind,
Although mycoat is thin and light,
Although my hat
Is wondered at,
Because shaved the outer ,im
To try and keep it smooth and trim.
Ilaugh and sing and whistle, too,
When have wind enough TO spare.
But in the sharp and frosty air
Ny breath comes short, my nose turns blue
Ny fingers freeze,
And my poor knees
Would knock together did they dare;
But still keep jaunty air.
When bread is scarce and shelter poor
Iwatch the sparrows. and say
Il only want meal a day"
And if they turn me from the door
tramp for weeks,
And dodge the beaks,
And with no money for bed
try an archway or shed.
I brave the day. brave the night
throw my sorrows to the wind,
'Tis wise to keeps cheerful mind
And screw your courage for the tight.
And so, kind sir,
In case you err,
With over pity worse than none,
Just hand copper and have done.
