On of the Famous "Llfht Urliad," Though Not ail Italaklava,. T. J. McNally, e, cab driver with station at tho northeast comer of Dour born, and Monroe) Btrwts, la one of the survivors of that regiment of British soldiers who went to tho relief of Luck-now-. Ho is a hardy, rugged, stout built man, with medal or honor ou his breast and a memory of ton years' sorv ice iu tho army of Great Britain. The comtnautl with which ho served In In dia was compoNvd in pnrt of that little band of heroes loft from tho famous fight at Balaklava that immemorial 'Charge of tho Light Brando." And he shared with thoiu the splendid hon or of rescuing from beleaguered Luck now the English women and children, and the English ofllcers and men as well, who had fought for more than life against tho savagery of a sepoy re bul lion. "I waa born In Scotland, bnt of Irish parents," said Mr. MoN'ally, chatting of thorough service and tho men he hud man-hod with and fought uuder in thoee days, which resembled so closely tho perilous phases of England's situation in India today. "I was bora at Burr- head, and Jan. 28, 1858, I enlisted at Lanark in the Ninety -second or Gordon highlanders, and after tomo months of drill and garrison duty volunteered Feb. 28, 1857, to the Ninety-third or Suth erland highlanders, who were stationed at Dover Heights. There was continual talk of their going ont to the China war, and I wanted the adventure and the experience of real soldiering. "It was Dover castle those days, for the castle still stood there. It was one of England's defenses and had boon for centuries. I am told the castle is all ruined and gone now. "We embarked at Spithead Jnno 15, 1857, for the China war and Bailed away down the west coast of Africa After we were ont at sea we spoke a vessel from the cape and heard of the Indian mutiny, but of courso our duty was to go on to China, where wo had been ordered. It was pretty haid lines for us. We wanted to get up into India, whore they needed us, and at capo of Good Hope a lighter vessel from England overtook us and countermanded our order. Wo were sent from there with all haste to Cal cutta and landed Sept. 30, 1857. Think of that! More thou three months got ting to the mutiny! "There were no railroads, and we started right out and marched up coun try as far as Cawnpur, 680 miles. It was a hard, hard march, but we mado as good time as British soldiers ever did anywhere. At Cawnpur we were joined by General Hope Grant and Sir Colin Campbell, who had been waiting for re enforcements so they could hurry on Luckuow. "Then we went on and reached the besieged city Nov. 18, 1857 over 700 miles in less than CO days. We had but 4, 000 men even then, and there were 60,000 native soldiers, armed as we were armed, for they had been part of the British army, bnt they were not commanded so well, and they did not have so much to fight for. "It was quick work all with the bayonet. They could not stand the rushes. Wo forced our way to the cit adel, and tho third day wo took out the women and children and whut was left of tho garrison. Then we retired in tho night. They could not realize we bud done so much, and they cortld not be lieve we would withdraw, but wo were not Btrong enough to hold the place and selected a position of our own at Alunibaugb, threo mile away. If they bad known wo were going to slip uwny they could have mussed their forces, leaving tho city uncovered, and hemmed us in, but wo were away and ready for them before they knew it. "There Havelock died of dysentery three days after tho relief. He would have been dead a week before we came, but ho didn't dare to die. He had to de fend those women and children. "I was wounded at the Lncknow fight, but it did not amount to much. I staid on dnty all the time. Tim bullet was extracted and I got along. No, there is no jiension. You get a pension after 21 years' service in the British army, or after being positively disabled. I was only ten years in the service. After that I came to America to Chi cago. I have had money and am getting on all right yet. Medal? Yes, I wear the medal. That regiment is tho only one that wears its medal on its colors. That is because it fought at Balaklava and at Luckuow too. Many a time the other fellow's told me of tho fight with the Russians, but I did not see it. I was not in the command at the time. " The Indian insurrection broke out on the night of May 80, 1857. Sir Henry Lawrence hud fortified the residency and garrisoned it with 750 British troops. July 1 the place was besieged. July 4 Sir Henry died from a wound. Threo times the gallant little army beat back the assaults of tho multitudinous ene my. July 22 Havelock captured Aluin baugh, and four days later reached the residency. But he, with tho others, was at once penned up there. Then came Colin Campbell's long waited, almost unhoped for relief, und the little garri son and colony were saved. Chicago Post. KfTectlve. "Well," said tho prosperous looking man, "I will uot affirm that the Gush er spring water is a balm for all bodily ills, but this I will say that it has re moved a trouble under which I had suf fered nearly all my life." He referred to a monetary difficulty, but ho did uot think it necessary to go into particulars. Boston Transcript. national vougrw juuuw, ..,, AU 10, GUESTS FROM WAY BACK. Some Annmlne Ntorlrs of. Their lllundrrs In Hotel of m lllf City. Tho clerks at several ( f tho hotels t 11 amusing stories about some of the guests who eon io iu from tho rural districts. An aged couple cuuiu into tho Montr i'i;l wanted a room, When iuformed t C there was none, the wonmu turned to tho man and suunpod out: "It serves us right We will have to Walk the streets tonight." Wheti a.-k d for un explanation, tho limn said that they had arrived that morning and paid for a room at some house in advance for tho week. Ho said they forgot to take the number and street aud had looked for throe hours for tho house aud then giveu it up. They had uot tho slightest Idea where the tiluco was. A man from Arkansas told the house- keeper at tho Moscr that he was going out aud might not be back for supper, but alio need uot wait for him. Auother muu came into the St James and, seeing an advertisement ou tho blotter iu tho register bonded, ' friend in need is a friend indeed, " asked for tho address. "That's the man I'vo boon looking for, " ho said. "I was robbed last night. and I waut to borrow money to get homo ou." A man at tho Ror.ler apologized to tho night clerk for keeping him up un til 1 1 o'clock. Ho said ho hudn't noticed how late it was. A well dressed man ntho St Nlcho las told the clerk that there was no oil in his lamp. It wouldn't light. A bell boy went tip and turned on the lncnu descent aud told the guest thut ho had forgotten to turn up the wick. Ho ac knowledged thut ho had. A muu and woman were registering at the Moserwheu a hnckmnn came and asked them for his money for hauling them up from the Union station. " Why, you ain't going to charge us, are you?" asked tho man. "Sure," cried the hack num. "Didn't you ask us if wo wanted to ride?" demanded the man. Tho hackman said he had "Well, then," exclaimed the man, "what do you want us to pay for?" The clerk explained matters and the Tisitor to tho city paid the bill. Ho re marked that that was tho first time ho had ever known of any one being invit ed to ride and then asked to pay fur it. St. Louis Republic NO POLICEMEN NEEDED. Only Two Thefts In Ireland In a Thousand Tear. In Iceland there are no prisons, and the inhabitants are so honest in their habits that such defenses to property as locks, bolts and bars are not required, nor are there any police in the island. Yot its history for 1,000 years records no more than two thefts. Of these two cases one waa that of a native, who was detected after stealing several sheep, but as he bad done so to supply his fam ily, who were suffering for want of food, when he had broken his arm, pro visions were furnished to them and work was found for him when able to do it, and meanwhile ho was placed uu der medical care, but tho stigma attach ed to his crime was considered sufficient punishment The other theft was by a German, who stole 17 sheep. But as he was in comfortable circum stances aud the roblx-ry was malicious the sentence passed upon him was that ho should sell all his prnjierty, restore the value of what ho had stolen and then leave tho country or be executed, aud ho left at once. But thongh crime is rare iu Iceland and its inhabitants are distinguished for honesty and puri ty of morals thero is, of course, provi sion for the administration of justice, which consists, lirst of ull, in the sher iff's courts; next, by nppuils to the court of three judges at Reikiavik, the capital, mid lastly in all criminal and most civil caws to the supremo court ut Cois-iihageii, the capital of Denmark, of wLicli kingdom the island forms a part, Tho island of l'miiiriri, ouo of the Lipari group, is equally fortunate in having neither prisons nor lawyers and being absolutely destitute of both paupers and criminals. Boston Transcript. Vernatlle Dr. Itedloe. Among tho accomplishments of Dr. Edward Bcdloo of l'hiladelphia, the American consul at Canton, China, is remarkable skill in mimicry. He can imitate with bis voice the accent and mannerisms of speech of all tho leading actors aud orators as well as a number of musical instruments. His imitations of the twanging of a banjo are exceed ingly acjcurate. fc'ome years ago Dr. Bcdloo was in a room at the J'ress club wheu severul guests were being enter tained in an adjoining apartment. He had boeu with the party, but had ex cused himself ou the plea thut he want ed to get his buujo. Ho proceeded to "play" a medley aud did the imitation so well thut the guests would not be liovo ho had not actually performed on an instrument until be repeated the imitation in their presence. Ho is, moreover, a witty and brilliant conver sationalist aud a most entertaining ra conteur. Ho has a wonderful memory and has never been known to tell the same story twice. Philadelphia Press.
