the most crude description, the barbados

guns, surrounded the inclosure
On May so there were 794 Europeans in
the residency, of which 522 were women
and children. There were 1873 civilians and
only forty-four soldiers, from the chief
commissioner down. Sir Henry Lawrence
along in June saw that the whole sur
face Of Dude was seething with rebellion
although up to that time he still held
nominal control of the city Of Lucknow
The native troops however, had risen
at all the stations in the surrounding
country, and had murdered their british
officers, and were concentrating around
Lucknow.
The crisis came on June 3d. when Gen.
Lawrence went out to meet the enemv
that was threatening the city, and sus
tanned a crushing defeat. In his official
dispatch Sir Henry ascribes the defeat
to the assertions from the cavalry and
artillery, composed of native troops. The
command was chased back to the resi-
dency, which was surrounded, and that
was the beginning of the memorable siege
of Lucknow.
The rebels opened the siege with vigor
Cannon were trained on the residencv on
the morning of July 1 from all points,
and an incessant fire was kept up, while
the sappers and miners ran galleries I'M
der the walls and planted mines for the
destruction of the defenses.
Up to this time a small garrison had
been kept at Muchee Bhowun several
miles from the Residency But Gen.
Lawrence realized the necessity of con-
centrating all Europeans at the Rest
dency, and signaled the commander to
blow up the fort and retire to the Resi-
dency with the treasure and guns. The
order was promptly .obeyed, and 24O bar

A sight was witnessed the other day
at the Zoo that has been the talk Of
the people managing the animals of the
garden ever since. Keeper Myers, who
has charge of the snake cages, was
about to feed the reptiles when, to his
horror, he saw one blacksnake, measure

was about the same length and size Of
itself The reptile had swallowed its
fellow head first. and only foot and a
half still remained outside its mouth
