LETTERS FROM SOUTH AFRICA.

Jorporal Stewert and Private Mc-

Rae Heard From.

Writing from Richmond Camp, on February 4th, Corporal Lorne Siewart says :—

***-** There are plenty of Boers srouod vere. I think we will leave for Modder River tomorrow; the rest of the contiogent left Belmont yesterday, and we sre waiting to be relieved. Our mounted

ratposts exchanged a few shets yesterday (ere is going to be an atiack on Sp) ttono- n on Tuesday, and they are going to ge! oto K mberley if it takes half the British army ‘o do it. I spent ali morning io ‘aviog a bath, washing my shirt, socke an’? darning my socks. I can make porridge, tea, collee, cocoa, pudding, soup, boil vegeiables, fry beat--t-ak, wash, durn, sew, clean cooking-pois wash dishes or do any sort of housework. Such is the result of campaigning. I am going out to service when Il go home,+o if you know of anyone wanting a cook, house- maid, or general servant ju*t recommend me ; I am equal to anything from nursing a Kaffir baby to washing the elder chil dren. We have quitea fort ou one of the hills, where there are seven days’ rations,

towels,

fifty or sixty thousand rounds of ammuni-

tion and enough water for five hundred men for a week.

We captured a Boer last night, or rather we made a prisoner of him, for he fell down the well and we pulled him out this morning quite dead. te fell in while attempting to p&éss Our sentry On water- guard (the guard were ali Islanders.) The sentry seeing him, started in pursuit, and the Boer, poor fellow, fell into the well. The corporal reported it to the offi- cer who told him to “ go to Jericho.’ The said that he couldn’: ; and that the Boer was a four-legged boar. This ia the fir-t

are justly proud of ther cupture. time they waat a two-legged one.

The kepjes we have to attsck are some thing like the side of a house,—you have to advance from one to five miles over opeu conotry, thea charze the kopjes and drive off the Bosra on to another kopje and so on till they are driven to tne deuce. The Boers are not good fighters, but they have very su Ong positions; the Sritieh could never be driven off them if they were On the defensive inetead ct attacking.

friend in Charlottetown, Fred. B. McRae, in aletier dated Bel».ont, February (9th, says io part:

The Island boysare in excellent health aod are longing for an opportunity to dis- tingu'sh themselves. We Jeave here ov the 12:b for the Orange Free Siace, and will be in the next figot, l.kely at Jacub:- dale. * * * I note with considerable plea- sure the repeated successes of the Cooser- vative cause in Cacada, and which I would like to be lowe tak:nga hand in the etruggie, I prefer being nere with French, Methuen, Gatacre, Baden-Powell, Warren, White, McDonsld, Buller, Kitchener, Roberts aod 150,000 Temmy Atkine’ as coliesgues fightiog the battles of our Em- pire.”

Toeoves Ormer Spectacies.— “Tide- Waiter” in the Pi ctou Standard says : The desperate condition of the P. E. I. Gov- ernment is shown by the attempt it is making toinduce a Cooservative member to go to Paris with Mr. Tarte. That would take the member referred to away while the House is sitting, and probably mékeatie. Mr. Peters,is not expected to some this time,,e0 tomething desperate has to be done—or give up the fight. Constitutional government is being run into the mud by these gentlemev. Any thing will bedone to hold on tothe eal- aries; and the Ottawa crowds is willing to help.

Basket Socrat.—Probably the most successful basket socal of the season was held at Howe’s Hall, Brackley Beach Fri- day evening. Notwithstauding the bad con- dition of the reads a pumber or ladies and gentlemen drove from Charlottetown and thoroughly enjoyed the drive out and en- tertainment, although it was “asad time coming back,” rather. The following pro- gramme was well rendered, and the audience showed their appreciation by 1e- peated encores :

THE DIFFERENCE.

la re Redistribution, The Goveroment measure invites the judges to play the undignified part ef catspaw to the parity monkey. The Tupper amendment pro~« poses to ask them to sit in due judicial

tuencies of the Dominion in accordance with the changes of population and with due regard to municipa! boundsries with- out letor hindrance. Uuder the Laurier bill, their work is limited to certain coun- ties where almost any change would bene-~ fitthe Grits, and they are not permit'ed vo cross cOunty boundaries in Oatario though tbe most absurd inequalities ebould result from their rigid observance. Thus the Tupper policy is a true arrange ment of the constitnencies by an impartial and free-banded judicial commiseion ; while the Laurier policy is an open gerry- mander undertaken on: of season for the advantage of the Liberal party, to which the judges are asked to lend ao aypear- ance of respectability by intervening in- effectually in some portions ot tbe t«sk.” This is the Montreal Star’s summiog up, aod it is true.

THE BRIDGE

De«m Sin,—If you will be kind enough to allow us asmall epace iv your valu- able journal, we will truly explain to “ Elector,” who, we presume is an elec- tor ; perbape that isthe only stake he ha: in the couniry (his vote.) He states that we have adopted a cheap style of advertis ing. Inthatheis right. We, in adver+ tising, as wellasin selecting our goode, get them as cheaply as possible, and that ig the secres of our success, It is also the reason we can place on the market good honest goods at euch low prices.

As tothe second point, viz, writing io the absence of the titting member for thecity, we might say that we have al- ways stood up in :the interests of the gen- eral public. That is our business, and io fact we have often done eo at the sacri-~ fice of selt. “Elector” Swould like to sacrifice every living thing on earth but eelf. Come out and give the public a chance to see what /|i:tle axe you bave togrind. All we want is your name and wecan tell the rest. Astothe proper site for the bridge there can be ne two opivions in the minds of men capable ot forming an opivion, We want the bridge;

Please ask to see our dog skin glove }i | for spring, its the tashionable shade, propar cut, and with all a splendid wearer; every pair warranted to be strictly honest in every particular; should a pair prove dishonest we’ll cheer- fulty replace them with another pair; you'll see them else- where; but if you notice the price is higher, only $1.25.

we wantit inthe right place. We wan the station as near the centreof the city

as possible,and even if it coes costa few | thousand dollars more (it may cost many |

thousands lese) and there is no possible chance of it costing the $12,000 voted last session, in the name of common sence let vs have it. The few paltry cents out of each individual will not amountto a row of beans. Now, incon- clusion, Mr. Editor, in a!) fairness to | Prowse, Bros. we would ask you to pub- lish no more misleading snopymous letters,
