reached the top Of the hill to the
south of the creek and with few -eso-
lutte men made a stand and tried to
save the day, or at least to cover the
retreat.
Their ammunition gone, their guns
were used in the hand-to-hand fight
that followed until every last man of
the gallant band was killed, and lnen
followed butchery. Every man was
SO shockingly mutilated as to be al.
most unrecognizable.
AS maller of fact, but fifty, or
perhaps sixty Indians were in the
fight, but against that number there
were but ten. whites actually fighting
them-Capt. Adams and his comrades.
The survivors struggled back to Dix

in the morning to daylight. Next day
the entire army returned to bury the
dead, and this force included Capt.

trivial matter. The schism between
the Sunni and the Sufi is so bitter that
each deems II duty to pollute the holy

death. Minor variations In belief and

LONDON IS BEING REBUILT.
Yankee sky-Scrapers Will Revolution.
jze the Great METROPOLITAN,


ize the Great Metropolitan.
Someone has said that London is
the most backward white mans city
in the world. This is true to-day. To-
morrow it will be all different. For a
new city is coming into being, not
quickly-it would not be itself IL it
hurried-but surely. Within twenty
years one will see it not only almost
wholly rebuilt, but a city with all the
modern conveniences. Great govern
ment buildings in the course of con-
struction, as well as YanKeebuilt sky
scrapers, will give the old town its
new dress. And tube railways bur-
rowing in every direction far under
ground will actually made it possible
to cross London in a reasonable time.
Everywhere that it is possible, streets
are being widened, and great avenues
cut at untold expense through popu-
lous sections. This rebuilding and
renovating is not received wholly with
satisfaction. The English love the
leisurely way of their capital as much
as they love it's dinginess and dirt AS

Not alone because 1t is guaranteed by

Evictions in ireland.

A return has been issued showing
the number of evictions that have
taken place in Ireland since the 1st
OF May. 1879, and how the farms have
since been occupied. The estates
dealt with are seventeen in number,
and include the Clanricarde. Ponson-
by, Lansdowne. Masserene and Olp-
hert properties. The important fact
disclosed is that out of total num-
ber of 144S evicted farms referred to iu
the return. only Is were lying derelict
on the 1st of February last. On the
Clanricarde estate. where the total
number of evicted farms was 252. 16
are still lying derelict. One-half of
the evicted farms on Lord Clanri-
carde's property have been let to new
tenants. and 96 have been re-let to old
tenants. Out of the total 144S farms
enumerated in the returns, SIS have
been re-let to old tenants, while 339
have been let to new tenants, and 1923
have been purchased by old tenants.

BACK TO NATURES BREAST.
Reasons for Exodus From Cities in
Summer Time.

Summer Time.
Every summer the exodus of the
well-to-do American from the city is
larger and begins earlier. Every year
his return from the country is later
in the season. At the present rate it
is only a question of time before he
and his family will come to town for
only month or two in winter. His
home will be in the country: he will
visit and do business in the city. The
cause of this return to the soil is COM
plex and presents a number of inter-
esting features. One cause is that
every man with red blood in him feels
at intervals the impulse to get back
to natures breast, far from the mad
ding crowd" He may never have
heard Of the fable of Antaeus, but he
has an instructive feeling that he
gains fresh strength every time he
touches old mother earth. That is his
heritage from primeval man. But
we do not have to go far back: only
a few generations away at most is an
ancestor who helped conquer the
wilderness. So this longing in our

Nobody living outside Of New York
knows how difficult it has become here
for people of moderate means to bring
up their children in the love of genu-
inc things. 1t is still done by many,
but with increasing effort, and only by
dint of strong will and an inheritance
of the truest graces of life: simplicity,
the domestic affections, and the love Of
nature and ones kind. 1t is to the cul-
