At first our moral simpletons scout- ed the idea that Mr. Kruger aimed at dominion. It was the idea, said Mr. Morley, that one man in his shirt wanted to fight ten men armed. Mr. Morley knew as little of the Boer strength as he did of the ccnditions of South African warfare. Every man whose vision is not bat-like can see now that Mr. Kruger armed his burgh- ers, not to meet another raid, but to fight England at a favorable oppor-

tages accruing from the perfection of the Boer preparations, the nature ot the country, and the weakness of our forces in Natal. The man in his shirt has locked up three of our garrisons.

All this is no surprise to Mr. Kruger. He expected a good deal more. He made the Free Staters believe that they would have a triumphant march to Durban. He looked for a general Dutch rising. He has had his disap- pointments ; but consider what he has effected in three months, and of what he is still confident, and you will have scant patience with sentimental twaddle about the guilelesss Boer who has been driven to take up arms in defence of hearth and home.—English Papers.

KRUGER’S EXPECTATION

ASCOUT’S DISCOVERY AND | WHAT FOLLOWED.

A private in the mounted company ofthe rst Royal Berkshire Regiment gives in a letter to his parests, at Wycombe, an interesting account of his experiences as a scout for General Gatacre’s column. Writing from the camp at Sterkstroom, he says :—

1 was out scouting, right in the front, with a chap of the Cape Mount- ed Police, and I was nearly captured.

I had advanced a few hundred yards when I heard a faint rustle, and, get- ting off my horse, T crept cautiously forward, and then I saw a Boer on the

for tethéring our horses. IfI had shot the Boer it might have warned some others. So I crept along till I got right behind the Dutchman. I made a spring, and landed him one on the top of the head. I had avenged some ef my chums. ThenI got back to the camp as fast as I could and reported.

A MOTHER’S PRIDE.

An interesting account of the loss of the guns at Colenso has been sent home by a gunner who was one of the men granted the distinguished service medal for gallantry at Colenso. In the course of a letter to his mother at Wey- mouth he says :—

The poor 66th Battery is a wreck. The Boers knocked it all cut of us. Our horses feil under us, and the men the same; but, mother, I know you will be proud of your son. I am recom-

—but did not make us go—“Now, my jads, this is your last chance to save the guns ; will any of you voiunteer to fetch them ?” We sat half-stunned for

‘men, and saved two guns out of the six without getting hurt. Buller took our names, gave us great praise, and said we should hear more about it, and that it was a great honour to us.
