Briefly, that seems to be the story of the Tugela River, but through graphic columns there continually recurs the discovery of unexpected entrenchments and aw— ful fusilades from the hidden Boers and gallantry such as has seldom mark- ed British battlefields. Atter describing how the British forces began their advance at daylight and how the Boers left them absolutely unmolesied, the correspondent says: “At 6.25 there suddenly burst an | awful crash ot Boer musketry upon the batteries and advancing infantry. The | rattle of Mausers swelled and maintain- From the | buildings. and lines of trenches south of the river and from, the river bank it- self the Boers fired at our gunners and footmen, and from the trenchas on the northern side of the Tugela River and | from Fort Wylie and elsewhere they sent out a hurricane of leaden hail, and the bullets venemously rained upon the ground in all directions, raising puffs ofidust and tearing through the air with shrill sounds. Few have ever seen so heavy and so deadly a fusitade: but neither jthe British gunners nor the infantry hesitated or winced. ‘The cannon were wheeled into posi- tion although many of the horses and vere shot down ere the maoeuvre was completed and our indomitable soldiers walked erect and straight onward. ever possessed more devoted sons. As the glaudiators marched pround and beaming to meet death, so the British soldiers doomed to die saluted and then with alacrity stepped forward to do their duty—glory or the grave. Anglo-Saxon soldiers always advance that way. Iaskedan American who had seen warfare at home, in Cuba and Manila, if his own countrymen general- ly did this and he answered, ‘Yes, it is marvelous but wastefu!.’ “Closer and closer walked the sol- diers to the Boer trenches until within 400 yards of the nearest rifle pits, Then lying down they returned the fire, but there was little or nothing to aim at, “By 7.15 the Irish ‘Brigade had driven the Boers to the north bank of the Tugela. They found that the; enemy planted the ground with barb- ed wire entanglements, Even in the bed of the river barbed wire was laid down. Into the water went the Dublin, Inniskillings, Borderers and Connaughts,but it was found at the ford that the Boers had cunningly dammed the river and there was ten feet of water where ordinarily it is but knee deep. They strove to find the crossings and many a fire fellow with the weight of ammunition and accoutre- ments was drowned. “It was a desperate and serious situation. The attack upon the right was making no progress and the hearts of the men had reached an apparent | impasse.

Lord Roberts’ son, with Captain Schofield and Con- grove, volunteered to ride out and en- deavor to save the two field batteries in theopen. Readily other volunteers were found. Corporals from the lines, men and drivers of the ammunition waggons, taking spare teams, galloped out, and men and heroes again began falling on every side. Young Roberts’ horse was blown up by a shell, Con- grove was hit with a bullet and his clothes were cut with other missles. Schofield alone escaped untouched. ! Across that valley of death quickly ' the surviving animals were rounded up and the guns were hooked and dragged away. Again and again that day attempts were made to haul off , the remaining guns, but the Boer fire At four, General Butler abandoned the guns and retreated.” The Montreal Witness remarks that a wave of puerility is passing over Germany, nursed by a jingo organiza— tion called the German Colonia) Society. The jingoes in all nations are the most boyish element. The claim of the German and Austrian press, worked up to fury, seems tc be that the admitted laws of war should be abolished in favor of the German flag on the score that Germany is jealous ofthe British navy We can see nothing more consecutive in the German howl than that. The mcre the pity, as we always think of Ger- mans as calm reasoners. The fact that since the seizures of German er commenced, one of them has volun-! tarily discharged a contraband cargo | at Suez and another at Naples, would at least afford a presumption that the | British Government had pretty good reason for exercising the right of search | upon vessels which in a steady stream | were carrying aid to the Queen’s enemies. 00D HEALTH FOR WOMEN Dr. A.

Chase's Nerve Food will completely build up the exhausted merves and restore the regular monthly action which removes from the body the clogged mat- ter that would otherwise cause pain and serious disease, It is as ~ restorative for pale, weak women that Dr. A.
