A Courageous Act.

We are glad to see in Tuesday's Gazette that Major H. FP. Grant, 4th Husears, at present serving in Egypt, has obtained a brevet tieutenant-coloneley for an act of daring and cool courage which has been seldom cqualled. A few months ago he enlisted in Cyprus 200 Turks, and brought them over to Cairo to serve in the Egyp- tian army. Some of them deserted, but the remainder were sent wp the Nile. On arriving at Assiout thirty-two of them mutinied and crossed the river, Colonel Grant went in pursuit, but on arriv- ing at the bank found the boat

h re too small to ‘carry his party over, so he _ crossed alone, and discovered the mutineers had _ taken

refuge in the house of the sheikh of the village, Ono approaching the house he saw a sentry guarding the door, who ran in and cave tp alarm, Col. Grant fcllowed, and there the thirty-two men were, with fixed bayonets, confronting him. He ordered them to lay down their arms, but they re fused, one mau rushing forward to attack him; the colonel shot him with his revolver inthe temple. A sccond, who followed, received a bullet in the stomach; and a third a ball in the throat. It was only after thus disabling three men (one of whom was _ killed) that the others laid down their arms. The colonel carried the arms out of the room, locked the doors on his prisoners, and quietly waited outside till his party came over the river and secured them. Colone! Grant is a son of the distinguished old veteran, Field-Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, the present Governor of Chelsea Hospital, and a grandson of another distinguished soldier, the late Field Marshal Lord Gough; he is, therefore, descended from a line of Field Marshals, and we trust there are in store for him honors equal to those of his gallant ancestors.—-Army and Navy Gazette.

Lunatics Tortured.

THE HORRORS OF INSANE ASYLUMS IN QUE- BEC—TORTURES OF THE PATIENTS,

Dr. Hack Luke, the famous English ex- pert, has published a report on the condi- tion of the Government Insane Asylums in Quebec, in which he says it is impossible to convey an adequate idea of the horrors he witnessed, and he can enly liken the treat- ment adopted asa relic of barbarism In the upper flat, in a small room, he found 60 men confined, all under restraiut,

handcuffed and strapped to chairs. In other parts of the building he found cells without windows

and with wretched ventilation. In a totally dark cell he discovered a man stark naked lying on straw and handcuffed to a belt; in another a man deaf and dumb, similarly manacled, without bed or beddiig. The women’s room he described as a chamber of horror, and even more terrible than the part where the men are kept. In conclusion, he says that it 1s amazing that a colony of England can present such a spectacle as he has described. One asylum is under the charge of the nuns, and a government inquiry will be instituted.
