f'wo Very Interesting Letters from South Africa.

Mr. Ernest Foster has received a let- ter from A. R. Dillon, dated Love Dale, Feb, 3, 1900,in which he says:

We nave oot very good means; of writ- ing out here so you must vot think I have turgottes you. Tnis is not the best coua~- ry io he world to live in, andif I were

All the boys are well, though some are

eeling a little homesick; aad if it were ot tor the little excitement now and then [think we would be dead. Wedon’s get .» much to eat in a week as would feed «u ordinary man for two days, let alon: healiuy Islanders. So we kave to buy yur grub oat of our pay,—<£1 18s per month. Everything is dear out here.

I think we are here for a whole year by the lek of thiags. The Boers are tough evemies. Bat of course we wil! win ina the end. We have had a few scraps, but so far have not lestaay of our men, We may some of these days.

I will write you a long letter in a few

dsys as soon as we get into a town.

L expect my first Boer every minute. “G” Company oaly is here. We are about fificen miles from Belmont. Forty-four thousand rounds of ammunition has just arrived for us, andeach man carries one hundred extra. This

1s a farm house. ne farm has three tsou-sand acres, and a verve nicehouse well furoished. It has been vacat d by the owner. There are none but Kaffirs here.,and they are as nak-

ed as the day they were boro.

We haveesiablished as communication with Belmont. I was oo duty twenty- feur hours in the hills the day before yes terday. It rained nearly allthe time We had no ebelter. My eyes are aching yet it was very cold last night. We have only onejblanket per man, and | did not sleep gmuch. We are ou: io the open al! We bave canned beef and hard tack for breakfast, aleo coffee; the same for diouer asd supper, except that wehave tea iustead cf woffce at the latter meal. So our bill of fare is getting rather out of date.

f wish I bad some of the Charlottetcwn condensed milk. We pay six peace for « quart, thatistwelve cents, | do wichout rather than pay tha: ° Fe ais

We are all.un the qui vive for there is a party of Boere, numbering about two thousaud, and also smaller parti-s of from forty to three bunired io our vicinity. The larger party have avout four |housend heai of cattle. Col. Pilcber hae left Modder River to cut them off. Axoiber force has left Oranger River. So there will in all probability be some fun. I expect to be on the way home ic March, the war Carnot go on much longer.

(Since starting this part two days ago we have been retired (G Co. only) ta Love- dale, seven and a haif miles distant, and then returned nere last evening, having done ths march im twe bourse. That is cousid-r-d excellent marching out bere. ] Those koo) ‘ are occupied by our meo fay ani eat. fo the day time we occupy the farthest one from camp,aod retire to two large ones near tbe camp at night, We nad fortitications of stove On each One 80 as to uv otect ourselves, but now they are buildiog a large fort on one of the kopjss ani « ‘| monnt some guns On it.

About 10 o’clock on Saturday the maia retired on our position, aad we

colu n» received orders to preoare 10 leave at 3.30 vp. m. Bat about 12 a. m.an alarm

was givea by our outp «ts. Clouds of dast cunid be seen in the distance. Shots were distinctly heird. Immediately the bugler sounded the alarm ‘one could hear, “Fall in No’e,1,2 3 or 4 seetions, with sidearms, ban doliners,water-bottles ; and rifles.’ There was no confusion Every man knew where hie accoutrements were and they wereon him before a person could realize what wasgoiag on. Hard tack wasthea issued aad empty bottles filled with water. Scouts were coming in

and going oul, ambalance wagons were made ready, effisers were galleping everywhere, and

orderlies were sent out to bring im outposts. All was ready fora half day’s fighting. Six mea w.th myself were sent out to oc- cupy North Kopjes. We were in heavy marching order. Lt was no fun climbiog North Kopjie (with all our harness and outfit ea ; and when we got there we were completely winded, for it was like climb- log a house, with a notch here and there to put your feet io. We remained there uotilabout 245 p m. Troops were out we could see 0

al! directions, but

in enemy. We had to retireto camp on the double, and found the re:tof the camp ready to march to Lovedale. The cause cf all the exeilement was

a Remington scout, who waa out hunting wih several companions. The boys were all very much sisappoisted, at not having a crack atgibe foe ; but I guess they wil! have that chanc- vefore very locg.

The Islanders are sll in excellent health; and bave no totention of returning without pluzgiog a few fthe enemy. We are still looking forward to the arrival of our Christmas Box +o kindly sent us by our friends at home. Love to all.

Hir Aru Acatrs —A small church was sadly in need of repairs, and @® meeting was held in it for that purpose. The minister having said five huodred dollars would be required, avery wealthy and equally stingy member ef the church roe: aid said he would give one dollar. Just as he eat down, however, a lamp of plaster fell from the eeiliog aod hit him on the head, whereupon he rose up hastily and called out that he bad made a mistake, be would give fifty dollars. This was too much for an enthusiastic member present, who, forgetful of everytaing, calied out ferventiy : “*O Lord, hit bim again !”
