AMBUSHED BY BOERS.

Driven from Poettlon by Hot Shell Fire—Men Retreat Into a Carefully Prepared Trap and Are Taken, with I n large Casualty Diet. The Boers Saturday captured a British conroy and seven guns. The force was commanded by Col. Broadwood. It consisted of the Tenth Hussars the Household cavalry, two horse batteries and a force of mounted infantry, under Col. Pilcher, which was garrisoning Thaba N’Chu Friday, but which waa obliged to leave Friday night on account of the approach of a large force of Boers. The British marched to the Bloemfonr tei» water works, south of the Modder jiver, where they camped until 4 o’clock , Saturday morning. At. early dawn the Boers opened a hot shell fire from the rear. Col. Broadwood sent off the convoy and batteries, the rest of the force remaining as a rear guard. The convoy marched into a carefully prepared ambush in a deep spruit, where a strong force of Boers was concealed. The whole detachment, together with five guns of Q and two guns of U battery, were captured. Broadwood’s report to Lord Roberta contains no details, but states that he lost seven guns and all the baggage. He estimates his casualties as 350, including orerd 200 missing. Bushman’s Kop, from which place news comes of the capture of a British force and a number of guns, is probably the Boesman's Kop, which appears on the British war office map, about fifteen miles east of Bloemfontein. Apparently the Boers, strong forces of whom temporarily evacuated Ladybrand, turned back, after getting'their convoys into safety, to attack the small British force. The news generally further confirms the reports that the Boers are facing Lord Roberts and Gen. Methuen, and that they have greatly recovered their morale. The correspondent’s vary regarding the value of the battle near Karee Siding, some claimiug that the 200 casualties were fully recompensed by the clearance of the rood to Brandfort. Others doubt this. Gen. Roberts’ dispatch probably indicates its value, he stating that it will prevent maranding on neighboring farms. Moreover, it opens a further stretch of railway northward. A Boer dispatch from Kroonstad says. that Gen. Smuts engaged the British Thursday at Mafel Kop, south of Brandfort, and held them at bay for six hours. The burghers fought well. The casualties are not known. A dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland, says that President Steyn is reported to be at Ladybrand, urging the burghers to persist in their resistance to the British. He has issued proclamations and manifestoes against the enemy who has come to destroy the independence of the republics. A Cape Town dispatch says that an army order has been Issued abolishing the title of the Free State railways, and ordering that hereafter they be known as imperial military railways. The correspondent of the London Morning Post, telegraphing from Bloemfontein, says that the Boer losses in the battle near Karee Sidings station on Friday were probably inconsiderable. The British battery in the right center was unable to go into action on account of the nature of the ground. The colonel of the Norfolk regiment had two horses shot from under him.

Side Lights on. the Boer War.

The Dutch settled In Cape Colony nearly- twenty years before the Pilgrim Fathers landed on Plymouth Bock and have been there ever since. It was in the first year of the seventeentJi century that the Dutch Bast Indies Company landed the first party of Dutch farmers in what is now Cape Colony. So in thia present fateful year the Dutch are completing the third century of their sojourn in South Africa. It was not, however, till 1051 that they erected a fort on the present site of Cape Town. A British medical corps officer, writing home from Lndysmith in January, described a scene in which a party of Boers, under the Red Cross flag, helped to bury the British dead. “There was one very touching incident,” he wrote. “After our major had read the burial service one of the Boers stepped out and said a short prayer, hoping the war would soon end, and while we stood with heads uncovered, they sang a hymn in Dutch.” The distinction of being the first soldier, officer or private to be recommended for the Victoria Cross during the present way belongs to Capt. Congreve of the Rifle Brigade. At the battle of Coienso this officer made a most gallant effort to prevent some of the British guns from falling into the hands of the Boers. •,*—,« « Col. Baden-Powell, the gallant and resourceful defender of Mafeking, has quite a remarkable sense-of locality. He Is able by some instinct to find his way about a totally unexplored country, and always to turn np just where >e wished —or. thereabout. The natives think he is “uncanny.” • Colenso, the town in which the British forces have been operating, and which has figured frequently in the dispatches from the seat of war, is named after Dr. Colenso, formerly bishop of Natal. His memory is still revered by the Boers, for whom he is said to have done an Immense amount of good. Doctors at the front In South Africa, commenting on what they prononnee “a war of wonderful wounds,” say the only wound that is necessarily fatal ia penetration of the heart Ninety per cent of the wounded in Buller’s army have recovered. The plight of the people of Ladysmith at the time of their relief was an awful one, for beside reduced rations—horse and mule flesh was the principal diet—there was a great deal of sickness. Wh*n Duller entered the town he found •ear 800 eases at typhoid fever.

The Place for a Poor Mae.

Alameda, N. W. T., Canada, Dec. 22, 1890. llr. B. Davies, Canadian Government Agent, St. Paul, Minn.: Dear Sir—As I promised you about two years ago that at some future time I would let you know what 1 thought of Western Canada and the chances of a poor man making a start and supporting a family at same time, so will write a few facts concerning my own experience the past twenty-one months, and what I have done any able-bodied man can do, provided he will work. I left Traverse country March 20, 1896, landed In Alameda at noon the 21st, with 83.55 In my pocket, a stranger and among strangers, and when my family came In October, 1898, my wife had nearly 810, or barely enough to pay freight on her stove, sewing machine and clothes and beds. I commenced work Marcff 28; also made entry for homestead same day (the man I started work for loaning me 815 to pay entrance fee), and I have earned, or at least received, 8478.10 in wages since then and have been idle at least two months of tbs twenty-one since 1 came., The homestead I took had 12 acres broke by a former occupant 1 paid 820 to have It repKTwed In July, ’OB, and the seed wheat for It cost me 88.25. I let It to a neighbor for half in elevator clear of all expense except the seed, and this fall 1 received 870.10 for my part of the crops off of the 12 acres, so my total receipts the past twenty-one months have been 8548.10 and my expenses, besides living for self and family, have been as follows: Entrance fee (85 being paid for cancellation) 815 00 Summer fallowing 12 acres.... 20 00 Seed for same 8 25 Cost of bousq, besides my own labor on same..... 75 85 Twenty acres of breaking and double discing same 00 00 8179 10 Uy half of wheat 870 10 Net expense on homestead,-..8109 00 We moved on our homestead July 10, 1889. Have 32 acres In good shape for crops in 1900. My wife joins me in sending best wishes to yon and yours. You can truly say to any poor man who pays a big rent to get a farm (somebody rise’s land), or works for wages to support a family, that 1 hare personally tried both in Minnesota and tried hard to make a success of it, but found to my sorrow that after working hard a poor living waa all I could get out of it, and after nearly two years •f Western Canadian life I will say that I am very thankful to yon for helping me to decide to try It in Canada. Yours respectfully, W. H. KINKADE.

Easy Way Oat of the Dilemma.

A Baptist and a Methodist minister were by accident dining at the same house. As they took their seats there was an embarrassed pause, the hostess not knowing how to ask one minister to say grace without offending the other. The BmaU son quickly grasped the situation, and, half rising in his chair, moved his finger rapidly around the table, reciting: “Eny mene miny mo, catch a nigger by the toe.” He ended by pointing his finger at the Baptist minister and shouting, “Yon’re it!” The reverend gentleman accepted the decision and said grace, but it lacked the usual solemnity.

FEEDING THE WOLF.

Avarice Ruined Their Bsja* Life and Killed Their Mother. “There stood on the kitchen shelf In the old farmhouse where I was born,” said a New York business man, in the Youth’s Companion, “a stone wolf with a slot in its back. Into this slot went the savings of the family, cent by cent. Once a month my father unscrewed the wolf’s back and took out the money. It all went to bny land to add to our farm. He had an ambition to be known as a large landholder, and everything was sacrificed to that. “The milk, the ‘ vegetables and the beef which the farm produced were sold, and we children were fed upon the refuse. We grew up pale, weak and sickly, and the money saved went Into the wolf’s stomach. “My father had a good Income, but my mother did all the work without help. At 40 she was an old woman. Ones or twice she asked for a week’s holiday or a little trip to the city. Father would consent, and then he would, col. ince her of the extravagance of the plan. She begged that we might be sent to college, but father talked so much about the expense that she dropped the matter. She used to long for a magazine or book to read, for a chance to hear music, for some escape from the deadly barrenness of our life, but it was never given to her. The cost always had to be reckoned first, and the wolf got the money. “The home life, which might have been wholesome and attractive, was hard, greedy and cruel. My mother died, worn out with working to feed that hungry wolf. By and by a railroad was built which helped other parts of the country at the expense of our own neighborhood. The value of the farm decreased, and father was left with a lot of worthless land on his bands. We had sacrificed all that was best in Ilfs for It and we got no return.” There are few American families In which petty avarice la a marked characteristic, but there are many in whicb thrift Is misdirected, and what should be only a means is allowed to become an end. The frugality which looks toward a realisation of nobler aims and the attainment of a broader and richer life Is worth every effort and self-sac-rifice, but the hoarding which starves body and soul merely to add acre to acre, or to pile one useless dollar upon another, Is a pinnacle of folly to which no creature but man has ever arisen.
