THE OLD COLORS.

For the first time in history the British army has marched into battle with no colors at itshead. They have been left at home, sometimes hung in churches and cathedrals. The follew- ing fine verses from The London Out- look are in reference to this fact:

That rent is Talavera, that patch is In- kerman,

A hundred times in a hundred climes the battle round them ran ;

But that is at an ended chapter, they will never go to-day;

Hang them above sa link of love where the women come to prey.

In the country of the cactus, in the vale of Al Rashed,

I took them away from the boy who lay in a ring of the dying—dead; Dead—but he smiled as living; dead—

but his hand held this, The banner had been as the grace ef his Queen (God’s light be hers and his!)

Perhaps when all is quiet, and the moon looks through the pane, Under that shred the splendid dead are marshalled once again,

And hear the guns in the desert, and see the lines on the hill,

And follow the steel of the lance and feel that England is England still.

BOER VERSION.

The Boer narrative of the fighting east of Pretoria, posted on a_ bulletin outside President Kruger’s car at Machadodorp, ran thus:

‘The commandos east of Pretoria,

in the direction of Brockhorst Spruit, were compelled to retire after a fierce stand of more than two days, in a way that won the admiration of the acting commandant-gerecal. The short range rifle fire was very hot, and for part of the second day, especially late in the afterroon,the enemy fought ata distance of 100 yards. Our loss can- not be given yet. The acting com- mandant-general only mentioned Field Cornet Jan Van_ Buren, killed. He was one of the pluckiest menin the field. Information isagain to hand regard- ing the miserable conduct of the en- emy’s troops that have penetrated to Johannesburg and Pretoria. They con- tinually complain of the lack of foud. Several British soldiers have died in the streets of Pretoria of exhaustion and starvation. Along the roads are the corps of horses and mules, while the living anitnals are so weak they are hardly able to carry their loads.’

SOMETHING OF METHUEN. Saturday Evening Post: Previous to his going to the front, Lord Methuen was extremely popular with the masses He is a genial man and tooka very active interest in the British Volunteer. But his soldiers did not like him They considered him too shifty and nervous; they had no confidence in him, and soldiers are great at discov- ering the real ability ofa leader. A story is told of Lord Methuen’s_inter- view with Lieutenant the Honorable Walter Chetwyn. . Chetwyn came to Aldershot In charge of the Staffordshire miliua, ordered out for the annual month's training. Methuen, who is an officer of the Guards, the smartest of ail smart regiments, journeyed down from Lon- don to inspect the miltia, and, after putting the men through their paces, called up Lieutenant Chetwyn and gave him a wigging. | After the inspection Lieutenant Chetwyn, “mad clean through,” ran up to London, and making his way to the Lowther Arcade, where toys for chil- dren are sold, invested two severeigns in trim tin soldiers. These he tacked on aboard, in perfect order and with- out any wrap or cover over them, sent them by special messenger to the Guards Club, addressed to Lord Methuen. On the reverse of the tag

been able to gather, this was Lord Methuen’s idea of aregiment. The arrival of this atthe club caused con- sternation among the officers, as it was taken net only as an insult to Me- thuen, but a serious reflection on the Guards, who hate to be thought more or less ‘show’ soldiers. This that at first looked like developing into a very awkward incident was, on the advice of the grey heads of theservice, al- lowed to drop.

TERRIBLE SCENES IN INDIA.

The famine in India grows worse. It would be rash to assume from the almost stationary relief figures that the corner will soon be turned. So _ de- vastating has been the cholera out- break, so enormous the mortality, and

so blind the terror iaispired by this black death, that the famine relief camps in Bombay presidency, which cortained thousands of workers, melt away and are left empty in the course of a couple of days. Starving though they may be, the people prefer te fly to their homes, and to die in quiet than to remain in the famine relief camps where the cholera is striking duwn a a hundred workers daily. Terricle stories come from Dehad. There the famine is at its werst, and now the cholera has arrived to complete the work. A correspondent says: ‘As we walked through those quiet streets we saw deserted homes and dead bodies. One of the bravest acts witnessed was a little girl about seven attempting to care for two little brothers after the mother had given up all hope and lain down nearthem todie. She was feed- ing a fire which burned beneath a broken pot in which simmered the al- most rotten feet and bones of some dead animal. The scene cannot be painted too black. No account we have ever read of any famine would picture the state of affairs at Dohad.” The London Standard’s correspondent says the mortality estimates are inac- curate. Innumerable dead bodies are polluting the streams and _ spreading contagion.

A member of the British House of Commons, who has had an_ important connection with South Africa is telling a story of a telegram alleged to have been received from Cape Town, which says that Mr. Kruge: has really es

caped and 1s already on the seas bound for Europe, and that the person occupying the Excutive chair is not Mr. Kruger, but is a substitute.

A Boer report from Machadodorp by way of Lorenzo Marques, gives the burghers’ version of their success at Leeuw spruiton June 14. It says that two Britsih convoys were captured, a locomotive and several carloads of railway material were destroyed, and three hundred workmen and fifty sol- diers were taken prisoners.

Commandant Piet Viljeon reports that fifty miles of railway in the Orange River colony have been dastroyed by his men, Another engagement on June 18 resulted in the capture of 31 British troops.

When It Hurts to 'Cough.

The cough that hurts, the cough that gets tight in thechest, is daily getting deeper and deeper into the bronchial tubes and is making directiy for the lungs, to become pneumonia, inflammation of the lungs or consumption. Such coughs yield only tu the wonderful effi- ciency of Dr, Chase’s Syrup oi Linseed and Turpentine which loosens the tightness and cures cough and cold together. 25 cents a bere Family size 60 cents, sola every- where.

Capt. Leesberg, an American attach- ed to the Boer artillery, has arrived at Lorenzo Marques. He says that the Transvaal’s ammunition factory has been removed to Lydenburg. He declares that Gen. De Wet has 6000 | men in the Orange River colony, and Gen. Botha 2,500 in the Transvaal. Fifteeu hundred men in small bodies are elsewhere.

Transvaal agents in Lorenzo Mar- ques are credited with admitting that State Secretary Reitz has gone to Eu- rope on a Dutch warship. This story, however, lacks confirmation.
