Havelock took Cawnpore after n
desperate resistance. The rebels blew
mp the great magazine before retreat
ing. The English in Lucknow were
then actually in great peril and soon
10 he driven out, and Agra was be-
sleged. The Puniab forts were threat
ened. There was great outbreak in
Dude. Atrocities were being com
mitted everywhere. Among the many
tragedies reported was one at Mohum

Lucknow was the scene of one Of
the great conflicts of the war. The
mosques were converted into fort
resses, and sharpshooters exchanged
showers of bullets into the streets.
Mines were made by both sites. and
explosions shook the city. Havelock's
force fought its way from Cawnpore to
Lucknow, aud brought relief at about
the time OF the most important event
OF the war in Eugland's favor-the CAP

The siege of Delhi proved very diff
cult. After a long assault the fortified
city was occupied, after being almost
wrecked, 10y the British, who lost in
the last mornings fighting more than
eleven hundred men. Reprisals were
IN order, AMI many unarmed natives
were pierced by bayonets or cloven by
sa5res. The excuses were soon
stopped, however.
Ibe King surrendered, aud the
three princes of Delhi were slaught-
cred In cold blood by their captors.
The fall of Delhi and the captivitv
OF the King marked the decline of
the rebellion. The tidings were car
RED from city to city, from canton
ment to cantonment. The backbone
OF the Sepoys' struggle to throw off
the British yoke had been broken.
There was much more work done be-
fore England was absolutely victorious,
but peace was restored within wear

one OF the problems the summer
season always presents to those inter
ested III the practical working of n
church aud the one most difficult
to solve with satisfaction to all CON
cerned is that of supplying the pulpit
during the absence of the regular min
lister. The question of pulpit supply.
as 1t is known technically, sometimes
is taken care of by the church officials
but not infrequentlv it is left to the
minister, although in the latter case
he apt to be hampered throughout
his period of rest by anxieties as to
whether the visiting minister is salts
factory to his congregation.
The compensation received for pulpit
supplying services varies greatly. AS n
rule the rate is low when compared
to the character of the churches
served and the men who perform the
service. Probably the best paying
churches, as a class, are the Presby-
terrain and Congregational, their rates
running from 800 for whole DAYS
service to So, with few at the former
hgure and a great many ut the latter.
Methodist churches pay from S25 To
50 for a whole days service, whild
among the Baptist churches tl- rsta
is from $50 to So Sometimes tbd
minister has his expenses in addition
to this, but, as rule, the lump sum
is expected to include the whole
transaction. In some places no fixed
sum is stipulated, sliding scale be-
ing in use and operated on a sliding
basis OF one per cent. of the regular
salary of the pastor. New York Press.

Fires along shore are difficult ones
to handle. There is always more or
less wind near the water; if gale is
blowing 1T seems to have twice as
much force on the waterfront. and n
fire once started here spreads very
rapidly. Then fires on the piers. or
or in the harf-buildings, are usually
very hard to fight; although there is
plenty of water all around, it is diff
cult to apply it to good effect. The
land forces can only fight such n fire
from one position-the street side;
and If the wind is blowing inland it
drives the smoke and fire directly mt
them, and makes it nearly impossible
to hold this position. 1t is here that
the floating fire engine or fire-boat can
do its valuable work; and New York
possesses Il fleet of such vesseIs-three
boats that are fully able to cope with
fire of almost any size, whether it he
among the shipping, alongshore, or
anywhere in the harbor.
