A young Englishman of good family— there is no need to mention his name— had been appointed to a commission In the Frontier Light Horse under Col. Buller’s command. Ooce he had com- mitted himself through drink but the of- fence had been passed over, and he was! so efficient and behaved himself so well; - both at Zlobane and at Kambula that he had been recommended for a commission in one of the regular infantry regiments. Sinee Zlobane he has been subject, it is said, to fits of excitement, and these were scarcely soothed by occasional recourse to drink. Last night before ‘Lights out’ 1 heard him swearing to himself in a very excited way about some grievance in the way of extra duty which he fancied he had. Later, when the camp was quiet, he ‘ loosed off’ his revolver in his tent. Thera was naturally a general commotion. No alarm was sounded, but in an instant every man turned out. The cause ascer- tiined, the troops were ordered to turp in and the young officer was ordered to consider himself under arrest. The camp was scarcely quiet again when he repeated the foolish performance of firing his revolver and there waa a repetition of the universal turn-out. The General and his staff came round into Buller’s camp and summary and strong measures were determined on. But the young fellow was in his tent rapidly breathing out threatening and slaughter and protesting that he would shoot any one who attempt- ed to enter. Major Clery was equal to the occasion. He had the tent-ropes loosed and down came the tent on its obstreper- ous inmate, effeetually bonneting him. He was at once seized, bound, and under a guard conveyed into the artillery camp, where he was made fast te a guo—wheel, a blanket given him, and he was so secur- ed trom further mischief. The poor devil raved on all night. It is an evi- dence of what influence Buller exerts over those under his command, that the bur- den of his constant cry was, ‘For God’s sake send me away bofore Buller comes back ; don’t let me see Buller! [ never can face Buller agatn after this!’ Baller is at present absent on a reconndisance ; he had overlooked the young fellow’s revious backsliding and had saved his life at Globane. He had his prayer. This morning his accounts were made up ; the money due to him was paid him ; Gene- ral Wood in a sentence dismissed him from his torce, with the stern warning that if he came back he should be flogged as ap unauthorized camp follower; he was set on his pony and, escorted by an officer and « file of men, conducted to the other side of the Blood River and there turned adrift on the world. Lord Beaconsfield’s Canadian Double. —— London World July 9. Sir John Macdonald, the Canadian Prime Minister, who has just arrived in town, is likely to create a good deal of senzation in society for reasons other than any convected with his mission. The Canadian Premier supplies a likeness to Lord Beaconsfield which is almost be~ wildering in its exactitude. If Sir John, haviog nearly observed our Premier’s dress, where to possess himself of a cos- tume of the same make and ware into the House of Lords, none of the doorkeepers would think of stopping him, whilst the Marquis of Salisbury might be expected gently to press the hand of his dear friend und inquire after the gout. Consciously or unconsciously Sir John assists nature with «a few touches of art. He wears his hair precisely as Lord Beaconsfield wears his, or rather as the Premier wore his when he was about eight years younger. His face is closely shaven and its whole shape, color and expression are pheno- menally like Lord Beaconsfield. Nor is the similitude confined to physical fea- tures. Sir John Macdonald has many of the social and politieal qualities of Lord Beaconsfield. He is witty and graceful in conversation, epigrammatic in Parliament and audacious in politics. Sir John did not arrive in London, as stated, but if he had, he would, no doubt, have been welcome in political and sociai circles as heretofore—not, perhaps, be- cause of his supposed resemblance to Dis- raeli, bt because he is the ablest states- man Canada has yet produced. Sir John’s victory in the Letellier matter will no doubt add to the prestige which he en- joys, in Hogland as elsewhere, as the first constitutional lawyer in the Domision.— St. John Sun. — —~ ae — A Srrance Fise.—A large fish, resem- bling a shark, attracted the attention of some Digby, N. S., people on Tuesday last, from the strange and lost manner in which it manceuvered in the waters of the Basin. At times it was partly out of water, and resembled a school of porpoise, breaking as it did, in such quick succession on the surface, while again it would be impossible to follew its wake. Some micmacs gave chase to the monster and succeeded in ob- taing a good shot. As the gun was not very heavily charged, it proved ineffective, as the fishstarted off in a very hasty manner, and was last seen going towards Annapolis. It measured fifteen feet in length.

Constitutional © Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH, Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy. T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :— DeaR Srr—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the enre would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy efiects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be true.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many ticulars, The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head. A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly, W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878. Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other. T. J. B. Harvie, Dominion Agent, Brock- ville, Ont.
