Interesting Reports by Corporal Stewart. Writing from Springs, near Pretoria, on June 15, to his mother, Corporal Stewart says --—

Our fighting is vow, in the opinion of some of us, nearly over, and we are doing garrison duty. A report in circulation in camp this morning is to the effect tuat we areto leave here on Sunday, en route to Cape Town ; but we have heard that re~ port so often that we would be foolish to believe it.

The towns and villages in this country are verv pretty,—splend'd farme and comfortable houses, with gardens and

irees; the latter had all to be planted and are looked after Jike hotehouse plants.

Pretoria is very pretty,I will not attempt to describe it, [I am sorry that I did not

commissioned officers that it is almost ime possible for me to get awsy for an hour. From the minute we get into camp there are num berless duties to be attended to; statements,returos and reporis to be made out; guarde, pickets, patrols, outposts and all kinds of thiogs of that sort to attend to, 80 that a non-com. Officer is aure to huve plenty to do; and then it is time for bed.

There are only four of the boys with the regiment that came out with the draf.; the remainder stayed in Pretoria on ac- count of having sore feet, Those bere are John Proud, Coombs, Boulter and Donald Kennedy ; they are a)l, like myself, well, |

we have todo it—but we do not want to doit. Kennedy ‘s looking far better than lhe ever did at home. | Small, Matheson, Mellish, Foley, | Gaudet and myself are the only ones lef lof the thirty Islend boys that left Graspsn | and arrived at Pretoria, We left Dilloa) and Rodd at Pretoria with sore feet. Since we jeft Pretoria McKinnon, Brace | aod McRae have r-j ined us ; they are all | well. We left Elandsfontein for this place on | the evening of the i2:h of June, | must tel) you of a very amusing tucident) that occurred when we were marching

jihrough the town of Bokeberg. Shortly

after leaving Elandefontein it began to raion and continued about an hour, By that) time we ha! arrived at Boksberg, and |

; were marching through the streets whist |

‘jing the Maple L2af and differeat <toer | tunes. Suddealy an Englishwoman, short, | fst and forty, ran out of a house, clasp | her hands over ber beart and shouted : | “the British ! the British! Ged bless them, eight mouths of suffering. Give it to the Boers, boys; they’re curs, every one of them. Give it tothem boys, give them the devil.” We had been cross aad cranky during our march up to this time, but we bad to laugh and forget about 6 ing | cross. |

In avother letter , written at Springs on the 24th of June, the eame corresponden: gays :

We are nuw in quite comfortable quar- tera, baving moved into some vacant houses; wehave from fiv- to fifteen men in each room. Last Mooday we moved into the round hous, bit tt was cold and dirty; and then engines were com- ing in and goiog out at al! hours of the night, and that was very uncom ‘ortable.

The niggers that work io the mines came over bere last Monday and gave usa dance, and a borrible affair it was—I can hear and see them yet at all houra of ne day and night. For drums they have ca-ks nearly as big as an cil cask, the head- covered with the skin of some snvimal; for tbe ketile or small drums they take an ordinary five-gallon kerosene o'l can, cut jut the ende aud cover them with skine. But their pianos take the cake, —they bave a long box about four fest long, one and ahalf feet high and sbeut a foot wide, and the top is made of barrel staves or and sticke of wood tied together, lt is wenderfal how well they have them tuned. They beat on this with a stick that has apiece of cloth tightly wound around theend. They keep excellent time. There were about twenty of thoce pianos, four or Sve big drums and about the same number of smaller ones. They had quite a dance, singing meanwhile about the British and the Boers. Here are some oftheir eayings : “ The British very wise men; they goup to heaven in a balloon; talk to God; God tell them bow; then they come down and beat the Boer.” ‘Paul Kruger has lost hia number.” “If the British want to catch old Paul they better go to Delagoa Bay.” “Great day for Kaffirs when British come; Boer uo pay Kaftir; British fair man, he slwave pay.” ‘The great white Queen is Kaffir’s friend; she good to Kaffir.” They had a great | many of these sayings put to music. | | They would daace to the mutic and sing) these pieces, brandish their shields and | spears and jump, why,they would jamp ten | | feet high cometimes, then almost put,their feet around their necks, and always land ‘on their feet—it was a sight not to be soon ‘forgotten. Then their dress ;—some bad

vests, others coate; some had a piece of cloth tied sround their waists and ‘banging down to their knees. Others had only a cloth around their waists while their arms and legs were covered with

also had boree hair tied to their lege and arms, and feathere ia their hair. They were as ugly looking a lot of wretches as I ever say in my life. I call them‘ wretches’ for they were 80 ,disgusting they were utterly unlike human beings. Then they had tin caus filled with little stones,woich they rattled as they danced. [| wil! never forget the horrible exbibition as long as [

live. I never will want to gee it again. SIR CHARLES IN ENGLAND, His Meetings After His Return.
