From the outer gate of the bat compound to the door of the hut proper was a matter of sense ten fast,

At that time all one could are was the copsa of the father stratch n the mud or, his head towards the deo: and a stent over him, while the old woman, bis wife, squatted at the slae of the corpse sising all.

A litle later, on the march back to the fines, with the ro'diers king and smoking as they tramped along from the scene of their morning's labours, he resumed the subject.

EDWARD A MORFEY,

A BLIND MEN'S MEETING,

THEIR AVERAGE TAKINO3—NOT MAKING

A LIVING.

The ghany was lumbering slowly along stilling. It was in effect as follow some distance away, so the Captafu called to hor in Hindoosta, to sop and alt down, and she. frenched at the threshold lacking out at us like a startled deer, with her dead father lying statk and still on the med Roar behled her. She did not cry, she did not glance behind. Her face remained intilgeat, im misive, und beautiful. The gharry came up, and they cald to her to come out and enter it. Sha straggled a while to cr-wi to hex leet, and as she staggered two Tom. mies ran to help her and caught her on either ide. Between them they led her cut and down a few pices where the ghany had pulled fata posliton. There they stopped, and as they d'd- 10 the old mother came out to the gateway and crouched by the roadside and walled and cried and beat herself. All I could make out was the mentation "AL! ALL! and it was the first time I had heard it. It was miserably ionow- ful. However I asked what the poor woman was saying, and they told me that she weeping because her husband,, was dead and no end but herself was there to mind his body, and that now her only child was being taken away to die, and though she loved it more dearly than all the warld, she could not go and mind it and I would die all alonesmong stradgett, "And," explain ed the kindly informant, "the most awe! fate bat eza be conceived by these poor people is to die among g'ringers with no friends near,”

A calque meeting was recently beld in Sydney meeting of blind men. It was presided over by M. H. S, Prescott, himself a bifad mee, and all the sparkers were similarly affected, They were led to the ball and up the stairs br friends; some had a wife with them, others were conducted by their children, others bad their boys to lead them. The reason of the meal was this: A few weeks ago a bind stent musician 'ald a charge agaleat his boy of wealing from him rome money. Tae lad we'd that h master's taking averaged from 6 to 301. day, an this statemess, getting into the papers, caused a ittle surple. The bind men allege that la consequence of this public sympathy bas been silensted from them, and forle tukings have deludled away until they bid fair to reach the vanishing palal. Mr. Prescot referred to this is his opening peach, and also referred to petition which had been presented to him signed by blind men, asking hits to call a public meeting, at which they could give their side of the case ant refats the allegations made.

Mr. E. Dinglede said he had been blind for with an organ for two years and three months. three years, and bad been walking on the street

It was very tertible indeed. The child was sot saying a word, but though-she never planced behind the bid not even "bidden any firewell that I could see to her mother-her lips began to quiver and her eyes filled up with tears that rn out to the ends of her loog black lashes bot did eft fall upon her cheeks. The Captain noted these things too; for he said, "This is sough I wish I had some change with me, but havO nothing In these clothes" A four anas piere

Al 1" when the twa waldfers lifted the girl Into the padded cushions of the ghary where she quietly lay down with her plague and her new found fortune.

Only a few minutes later another care was bundled i brilde her. It was an old man who was practically a moribord when discovered, and he had to be carried pick-z-back scross ittle stream or Nullah to get him into the gharry. He probably died before he got to Hospital, because when the plague once gels a good bold on an elderly nailve he just drops orer like a ninepla. Though the odds are the other way it is possible that the girl recovered. Here one may as well state that after handling a patient the soldiers had to wash in cartolic precisely the same as the Doctor.

Occasionally, without entering a hours at all, the Doctor, the Captain, ore of the welders Dr one of the native volunteers wou'd “sont" case that looked like plague and bold him up Immediately. The process was in many respects Identical with thal practised by road agents on the Pacific Slope, loasmuch as the individual ao beld up at once threw to his arm for the Doctor to feel fr the bubenia symptoms ruder the armpits which almost invailably accompany the plague. At the same time the scspect held out his tongue, which is of a sick ening yellow when the pest is well developed. Many such bold-ups were made during the marning but only one "espected" cars was taken to the delection hotplial as a result there

of the rest came out of the howels.

For the greater part it war all methodically awful, especially after 8 o'clock, when the son came out in a blistering swalter of heat and tormented one with ever-increasing perina ely. Then everybody began to perspire, because the work was arduous; mesh ground, having lo be covered to bat few hours, Sill the miliary routine remained unaltered. A caso was die- covered, the Doctor inspected it mod made a rote of it in ble not book--a nativa subordinate civil eficial forolshing the name and address of each corpse or patient as the cast happened to be This done, the Captain entered the same details lo his notebook and then scribbled an order admitting the case to hospital or in the privileges al cremation according to whether the fad was alive or dead at the time; there the matter ended. It was half past 10 o'clock by the time the morning's work was concluded, the number of cates then smeanting to about a dozen. The district that had been inspected by the parkstar party in the command having ended at the wails of the Cantonment Market. One of the gharris with two or three corpion in it was wälting at the cother of the Market on the off chance of having to lake la another victim. Every living cresture In the vicinity knew what that covered gharry contained. Did the people avoid fit, you may ask? No..
