‘* Judge Lynch” reigns supreme in Kan- sas. Last week, Bill Howard, a negro who diabolically assaulted Clara Pond, aged twelve, was distovered in an old mine and delivered himself up after being promised he should receive no bodily harm. In the evening one thousand people, accompanied by thirty masked men, in a solid line with drawn revolvers, marched to the gaol, ture the iron grating from the window of How- ard’scell and took him out. <A rope was tied round his neck and he was dragged five blocks and hung to a lamp-post on the corner of the public square. After the body had hung fifteen minutes, a shout of ‘‘burn him” being started, the mob took it down, dragged it to the square, in spite of the objection of a portion of the crowd, and literally roasted the remains in a fire of dry-goods’ boxes and coal oil, amid de- monstrations that rivalled Pandemonium.

Saving the Colors.

How TWO BRITISH OFFICER} AT ISANDULA DIED IN CARRYING THEM FROM THE BATTLEFIELD.

(From the London Telegraph.)

The regimental colors of the Twenty- fourth are saved, though stained with honest blood; there is silence again on the battlefield of Isandula; the noble little gar- rison at Rorke’s Drift has been relieved; but the names of certain brave Englishmen are already familiar to the lips that repeat the story of the camp that was defended, and the tale of the colors that were won. When the struggle was almost at end, and the strength of the men well-nigh spent when Pulleine and Durnford, at last beaten back and hopelessly surrounded, were at- tacked in rear and front, when the ammu- nition was exhausted and the deadly asse- gais were cruelly stabbing among the ranks of the Twenty-fourth,we seem to realize the dramatic picture that culminated in that ghastly struggle. When all was well-nigh over, and it was requisite to ‘‘do or die,” we seem to see Lieut. Smith Dorrien, swift of foot, and trusting to the prowess that had won him University renown at many an athletic contest, dashing headlong and desperate, through the cruel ranks of the enemy, determined to seek assistance or perish in the attempt. Close at hand is Capt. Stewart Smith, who has given up all for lost, whose life is not worth an instant’s purchase, but who will not die before he had spiked the gua he can no longer de- fend, and who does not receive his mortal wound before he has spoiled the means of dealing death to his comrades. No soldier ever fell more gloriously. But he has missed the Victoria Cross ; and now comes the time when the colors must be saved. It is all but over. The battle is lost ; but the Twenty-fourth Regiment must be true to its flag.

At the mess-room table, and round the fire in the barrack-room, they have told with pride the story of the old colors of the corps, which for ten years past have hung a trophy in St. Mary’s Church, War- wick. Every private soldier and young lieutenant in the regiment has read about the battle of Chillanwallah in 1849, and has been fired with enthusiasm at that re- cord of the regimental flag which was car- ried off the field by four officers in succes- sion, all of whem died defending it, until at last the stout flag-staff was shot away and the colors were left deserted on the ground from which the regiment were com- pelled to retreat. Then came the turn of Private Richard Perry, a ‘‘ Warwick many” who, when he heard what had happeneil rushed back in the fice of the advancing Sikhs, and found poor young Pennycuick in the ageny of death. From his faithful grasp he took the colors, and then, return- ing triumphant with his prize— receiving a bullet through his hat, a second on his pouch, and a third riddling his haversack— he was hailed with a cheer by his anxious and expectant comrades.

With this brave precedent as an example, it was net likely that the colors of the Twenty-fourth would drop without a strug- gle on the savage tield of Isandula. The sacred charge was entrusted to Lieuts. Mel-

horses were got out, and these heroic gen- tlemen started off with the treasured flag. Cutting their way with desperate energy, the colors folded around young Melville’s heart, they pierced the Zulu ranks. The feat was not accomplished without serious efforts, and an officer, who had managed to escape, reports that he saw Coghill slashing right and Jeft, in spite of a severe wound, But the friends stuck to the saddle and reached the camp at Rorke’s Drift to find it surrounded by the 4,000 Zulus who were held at bay by Lieuts. Bromhead and Chard, inside the encampment. It would have been madness once more to charge the enemy, but although again attacked and fatally wounded, away they raced, and gained the Buffalo River. They had strength to swim their horses across; but, once safe on English ground, and 300 yards from the stream, the brave fellows fell down todie. Coghill, weunded to death, dropped frem his saddle, and his comrade dismounted to assist him to close his eyes. One moment more and the heroic deed would have been accomplished ; but the tyrant death would not have it so. Melville struggled to remount, but he fell back by the faithful side of his brother officer, and there they found him with the colors still wrapped around his heart, crimson with his life blood. Who will not regret that no posthumous honor like the Victoria Cross can gild the memory of their noble fidelity ?

——_— 000

Details of the Zulu disaster show that most of the British troops were slain by the ‘‘assegai,” a spear-like weapon, it is said admirably adapted for hand to hand fight- ing, and for which the bayonet proved ne match. This has set military men think- ing. Up to this time they have lauded the bayonet as the weapon which, even in these days of breech-loaders and needle-guns, must decide the fate of battles. A Sergeant- Major, writing to the Times attempts to ac- count for this failure of the favored weapon. and his explanation is reasonable and prob- ably correct. The bayonet, he thinks, failed through the change from deliberate to rapid firing. Under the muzzle-loading system, and especially in the time of the ‘‘Brown Bess,” there was not much chance of the barrel becoming too

hot to handle. Now it does. When a soldier has fired even ten rounds with the Martini-Henry the barrel is so heated that he can-

not “grasp his rifle with his left hand round the stock and barrel” to bring it te “the charge.” What, then, could he do after firing 70 rounds? He could only hold his rifle with his right hand round “‘ the small,” and allow the wood under the bar- rel to rest on his left, but using his bayonet with effect is out of the question. The /** Sergeant-Major” thinks the noble 24th must have been in this plight, for they ex- pended their ammunition rapidly against the advancing Zulu host. The correspond- ent suggests a simple remedy. Have a con- caved thin piece of wood, about 3 in. long, fixed on the barrel between the back-sight and lower band. This would enable the soldier to grasp his rifle firmly, however hot the barrel. It is evident that the utility of the bayonet is seriously affected by the rapid firing, and it seems strange that the

this discovery before and devised some remedy.

British Emigration Statistics.

The statistical tables relating to emigration and immigration from and into the United Kingdom for the year 1878 have just been issued. They show 147,663 emigrants in the year, an increase of 27,692 upon the numbers in 1877; but of the 147,663, only 112,902 were of British and Irish origin. This total, though larger by 17,707 than in 1877, is one of the lowest since 1855. As regards immigration back to Britain, the corresponding numbers are :—In 1877, 81,848, and in 1878, 77,951, of whom 54,944 were of British and Jrish origin, Mr. Giffen’s conclusion is that the tide of

emigration, which was at its ebb in in 1876 and 41877, has again begun to flow. ‘‘As regards the destina§

tion of emigrants,” says the report, ‘*it is noticeable that, with an mcrease of emigration there is an increase of the emigration to the United States, just asthe emigration to the United States fe!! off most when the total emi- gration declined. It appears that of persons of British and Irish origin 54,694 went to the United States in 1878, as compared with 45, - 481 in 1877, so that the United States had more than half the increase of 17,707 in the emigration. There was also a great increase of the emigration to Australia, viz., from 30,- 138 in 1877 to 36,479 in 1878; and an increase in the emigration to British North A:serica from 7,720 in 1877 to 10,652 in 1878.” > PO LEED -e-

The Death-rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened evéry year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is sucha common thing that in ihe hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had-Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided, For

ehee’s German Syrup has proven itse the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- cine. Every Druggist in this country will
