a weird and striking petare against the dark back ground of the aight,

At half-past five we were reinforced by three more men and a corporal and were ready if the enemy chose to attack us at daylight which they didnot. About 7 o’clock I went down again to the village in search of milk but got none till finally I suwanative driving a cow to be milxed. I felluwed him end he brought up at the house of the woman whose husband had been killed. The poor woman’s eyes were all swollen and she was suil crying. She promised me the milk and in the meantime showed me into the parlor and brought me a cup of coffee. I was quite surprised for I would naturally have ex- pected to be repelled by her with bitier words under the sad circumstances. She also showed me her hasband’s portrait ; he was a kind, good-natured looking man. The poor woman told me her youngest son, aged 15, had gone away with her husband to look after his horse, &c., and she was anxious to get him home. She a'so wanted to have her husband’s body sent home if possible.

On returning to the dump we had breakfast. ThenI noticed two persons, sirangers, coming in. I slung my rifle over my shoulder and went to meet them. They were two negroes fully dressed in European clothing. One ofthem named Michael bad a R. R. pass from Pretoria to Springs and return to be countersigned by Col. Ot.ce on his arrival here; the other hadno pars but wanted to go to Pretoria with Michael. However, [ was not allowed to let any one by who had no pase; sol fix-d my bayonet and marched both of them off to the station guard, the

I next called at our quarters and found two letters for me, one a home letter. I also got eome papere from the boys up ‘ to June 2ud; no Island papers were in the mail. 1 tound you had been havinga premature celebration of the iall of Pre- toria and that the Canadian newspaper men had vo proper idea of the amount of

STREET LIGHTING CONTRACT.

Sir,—As the citizens do not rightly | understand the position of the City Coun- cil in regard to tbe matter of street light. ! icg I would like to explain as follows:

On June 12th a notice appeared in the daily papers calling for tenders for lighi-~ ing the city according to specifications to be seen at the City Clerk’s office, said tenders to be in on July 4th. Specifica tions were withhe'd until June 28th, and only then could they be seen.

The Fall Co. tendered according to specifications (which did not mention any term Of years) for an improved system of street lighting as exhibited on Great George Street, at $59.00 per lamp per year, and at the request of the Council to s:ate whether the company’s tender meant for 1,3 or 5 yearsasthe directors replied and

mid-day,I beard come reporte and thought it was the pom-pom; but the manager of the mine t Id me it was dynamite ex- ploding under our feet. He said they bad set agreat many charges and while at dinner they explodedthem. By the time ihe watives had haa their dinner the fumes would be cleared away and the coal that nad been blasted out would be loaded on the trucks in the mine and gent to the ele- vaior whence it would be hoisted up. I also learned from him that the negroes are fine willing workers and that they have many peculiar ways. For instance, none of the Zuluas will work underground, but they are willing to work ou the surface or on high etaging, while the other tribes cannot be induced to go up on the stagings but like to work underground, The manager said these natives bave apparently Lo religion but their medicine men lave as great bold ov them.
