LUMSDEN, OF THE GUIDES.

lFrom the London Athenaeum.1
Harry Lumsden . was sent to
Hazara, a picturesque and most attrac-
tive district between KaShmir and
Peshawar. He had with him 5000 Sikhs
and six guns on elephants, and adj
vanced quietly enough till he came to
Muzaffarabad, considerable place on
the banks of the KiShanganga, known
to travellers from Abbottabad to Kash-
mir. Here some seven thousand hill
men opposed his further progress, and
he had to fight-"a griff of a lieutenant
suddenly placed in the position of
general officer, with it's accompanying
responsibilities, without any officer to
consult, and with troops in whose COM
pany 1 had never been before, except as
an enemy"
After some skirmishing the enemy
took to the top of the hill, whence they
could roll rocks down, and from which
their dislodgement was difficult
''At last villager came in and told
me that, although the enemy occupied
the top of the mountain all day, they
were in the habit of coming to springs
halfway down to cook and rest at night.
Acting on the information, / sent for
some herdsmen of the district, and,
showing them a handful of gold coins,
promised to give them to them if the
men would take up a bugler and some
odds and ends that they must carry
with them to the top of the hill after
the enemy had retired from the heights
for the night. A bargain was made, and
the next evening my little party was
ready for starting. The bugler was dis
guised as a shepherd, and the villagers
(three in number) carried each half
dozen pots filed with powder, with
fuses attached. These they were to take
to the top of the hill and lay out in
row, and at 9 o'clock at night, on a sig
nal rocket being fired from camp, they
were to light all the fuses, the bugler
would blow all the calls he knew, and
then the whole party were to make the
best of their way back to camp"
The ruse was successful; the hillmen
fled in a panic, and the youthful COM
mander obtained a bloodless victory.

hang over Cuba, whatever light
cess there is in it's skies is not a
little eclipsed by the smoke arls-

if the records do them no injus-

making insurance a rather risky
business in their Immediate

Judging from these outbreaks
it is quite evident that the Gu

duct both before and since the

Spaniards, and it might as well
be confessed at the outset that
more or less severe steps will
have to be taken by the American
authorities before he becomes the
law-abiding, peaceful citizen that
the case requires. If sentimental
coddling has had any share in
bringing about that state of feel
