A' boy, aged ten, thus answers a question |s to the cause of the Transvaal disturbances: “Krugger and Kannerbullsm is one. He is a man of blud. Mr. Chamberlain has wrote to him sayin come out and flte or else give up the blud of the English you have took, he is a boardutchman and a wickid heethin. lord Kitchener has sent for his gory blud and to bring back his scanderlus hed ded or alive.” An essay on Mr. Gladstone by a boy of eleven states: “Mr. Gladstone lovd everybody, he lovd publicuns and clnners and Irishmen, he wanted the Irish to come to England and have home rool, but Mr. Chamberlain says, no, no. so alars he got his blud up and kllld Mr. Parnel. Mr. Gladstone died with great rispect and is burrid in Westminster with pieceful ashes.” The boy writer of the following is decidedly backward In his Tennyson. Concerning the late poet laureate he writes: “Tenysonwrote buteifull poims with long hair and studid so much that he sed mother will you call me airly dear? his most gratist poim Is called the idle king, he was made a lord but he was a good man and wrote many hoads. he lovd our dear Queen so much that he made a poim to her called the fairy Queen.”—Chambers’* Journal.
