“MASSACRE IN INDIA Nearly 500 British Goorkhas Slain by Hostile Tribes. A Desperate Two Days’ Battle With Rebel Assam Chiefs, A dispatch received at Calcutta, India, from Manipur, Province of Assam, brings mows of a disaster to a force of native troops there. James W, Quinton, the British Chief Commissioner of Assam, has recently been investigating some serious troubles which have occurred among the native chiefs. As a result of his iovestigation Commissioner was holding a durbar, or conference, with the leading men of Assam, with the view of arresting one of the prominent chiefs who had been instru. mental in deposing the Rajah The Chief Commissioner, while pursuing his inquiries | into the disputes between the chiefs, occu. pied a camp which was garrisoned by a the British service. Buddenly this camp was attacked by a number of hostile tribes, led by during their chiefs, A two days’ battle, which some desperate fighting took place, fol- lowed the onslaught of the tribesmen. Goorkhas fought determinedly against heavy odds, and, according to the report, 470 of the Goorkhas were killed. Seven of the British officers who accompanied the Chief Commissioner, and that official him- self, are reported to be missing. The news of the massacre was brought to Kohima, on the Assam frontier, by two Goorkhas. The massacre originated in a feud between the Rajah of Manipur and a leading tribal chief. The Rajah was de- wosed, and appealed to the Viceroy. fir. Quinton was seat to settie the trouble, and started from the headquarters at Shil- long, escorted by the Forty-second and Forty-fourth Goorkba Light Infantry. After crossing the frontier Mr. Quinton summoned the chiefs to a durbar at Manipur, for the pur. pose of arresting the rebellious chief, The tribesmen, pretending to obey the summons, musterad in force, and at midnight on the day before the day on which the durbar was to be held suddenly attacked the camp of Commissioner Quinton, which lay between Kohima and Manipur. The attempt to sur. prise the camp failed, and the tribesmen weredriven back, They returned, however, and kept up the attack and siege night and day for forty-eight hours. Finally the am- munition of the Goorkhas gave out and Commissioner Quinton was obliged to give the order to his men to save them- selves as best they could. During the fight at the camp scouts were sent out to try to communicate with Shillong, but they never returned, The Manipur natives cut the telegraph wires and killed the messengers Fugitives report that a general massacre fol lowed the taking of the camp. One account of the affair reports that Commissioner Quinton and his stall were prisoners Another account says that Colonel Skene, the commander; Commis sioner Quinton, with his son and daughter; Captain Boileau and six officers were killed, the natives refusing to give them quarter, The rebellious trite is famous for cunning, cruelty and bravery. Two native regiments stationed in Assam have already been dispatched to Manipur The Third Bengal Infantry will also be sent to the scene. The Viceroy of India bas abandoned tour and has started for Bimla. Five regiments and a mounted bat- tery have been ordered to Manipur, ais NIOELY BROTHERS HANGED. Died Protesting Thelr Innocence After Strenunous Efforts to Escape. David and Joseph Nicely, brothers, were hanged at Somerset at a quarter to twoon a recent afternoon. They protested their ine nocence to the last and died game resulted from strasgulation The crime for which they were hanged was committed oa the eveaing of February 27, 1880, and was surrounded with many mys terious circumstances which added great in- terest to the murder and ths trial of the pris oners. On the night in question two disguised men entered the house of Herman Umberger, a farmer, who was known to have a large sum of money in his possession, on the pretence that taey were officer % of the law and were iooking for plunder which a Hebrew peddier bad secreted somewhere in the neigh- borhood. Being allowed to search the house, they finally found the podintbocks, which contained from $16 000 to $30,000, an put them in their pockets. Umberger ob- Jecting, they shot him in the presence of his wife and other members of the householl Buspicion fell on the Nicely brothers, who lived some fifteen miles from Umberger and were well to do, from the fact that they had | been seen in the neighborhood of Umber. ger's house. They were arrested, tried and convicted on circumstantial evidence which was deemed conclusive. Then followed an alleged confession from one Beach, who could not be found, backed by sworn testi. mony. This failing of its effect in a plea for a new trial, the Nicelys made two attempts to escape, but were recaptured Being re fused a pardon, they finally suffered the ex. treme penalty of the law—which meets with public approval. ———— A MAMMOTH DEAL.

The separation of soul and body is not to be dreaded if we are clothed with Christ's right. and that death Christ Himself teaches us not to fear (Matt x. 95: see alo Phil. 1, 2). But the eternal separation of the soul from God, which is the fate of all unbelievers, no matter with what outward vestments clothed, is the fate to be dreaded, and against which the Saviour kindly warns us in Tate Xx. = 2, “Jebu and Jehonadab, the son of Re chab” Seo in verse 15 the greeting and jon of these two, and if not familiar with the story of the descendants of Jonadal, read it in Jer. xxxv., and mark the blessings of obedience Search and look that there be here with you nope of the servants of the Lord but the worshipers of Baal only.” How would such a proclamation affect the people who gather al the popular pisces of amusement in our day?

And yet most people think they know this simple matter, They will tell you to drop it into boiling water and let it remain three minutes, and to be sure the water is boiling, Here is where the mistake is made, An egg #0 prepared is indigestible and hardly fit for a well person, let alone one who is sick, to eat.
