He invites the Dutchman to his country house to play and sing for the amusement of his guests, and takes the opportunity to get a charge of forgery-or something else trumped up against him. While Frisis singing at the Colonel's, he plays an air which attracts the attention of his long lost sister, and having played the lullaby as a sort of teat, being put up to it by old Grimm, gets her to converse with him about her childbood, and brings back to her recollection the memories of early days. The sister finally recognises Frits and falls into his arms as her supposed father, comes on the scene and gives the emigiant into custody. Frils stands his trial and acquitted, his accuser, Colonel Grafton, being given into custody there and then, by order of the lawyer for the defence, which fast circumstance we thought ahther funny.

After serving his term in durance vile, the Colonel takes to tramping the country on the vagrant racket in company with another disreputable ruffian. They drop on Fritz's farm, and Grafton, finding only Mrs. F. and her little boy on the premises, bums for revenge. He ties up his old flame tea tree, sticks the youngster on the wheel of the water mill, and is about to do Roving bands of marauders have been threat- some very desperate deeds of plunder and blood ening Haiphong for some days past, but Com- shed when Frits suddenly returns and drops the Colenti and his pal with one each from bir ix-mandant Corunnat, with his usual energy, has shooter.

THE WAR IN TONQUIN.

DESPERATE FIGHTING AT SONGTAI. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS),

HAIPHONG, 18th Dec., 1883. Since I last wrote the French forces have made successful progress towards Songtai, and up to the evening of the 15th, after des-

rate fighting, captured all the principal de- fences surrounding the town. The French loss amounted to over 100 men and 15 officers killed and wounded, the greater portion wounded. The Turcos suffered the greatest loss; in fact, one company was almost entirely annihilated. Only the marine infantry and Turcos, amounting in all to about 4000 men, have been engaged, so that a very large reserve force has not yet been called upon. The Chinese losses are re- ported to be heavy, but of course nothing like a fair estimats can be formed just now."

The French' garrison of Hul-dayong has made ¤ veconnaissance in the direction of Bacninh, and discovered the place to be defended by only a small body of troops. This is explained by intellig- ence which has reached the French authorities that the garrison of Bacnink bas reinforced that of Songtai.

Latest advices from our correspondent in Hai- phong, up to the 16th inst., state that Admiral Courbet had everything arranged for a grand Combined naval and military assault on Songtai yesterday, when it was anticipated that the town and citadel would be captured without much difficulty. The assault has, of course, taken place, and we are very anxiously awaiting news of the result.
