A wIiter in the Boston Commercial
Bulletin tells of an interview held with
Archibald Forbes, the English war cor
respondent, who has added to his already
brilliant reputation by the magnificent
description which he gave of the recent
battle of Plevna. Mr.. Forbes related
some of his exploits in the field of Jour
nalism and at length was asked:
"And what do you consider your mas
terpiece of generalship!'
MY last exploit before leaving Eng
land" he replied. II went down to
Falmouth to meet the Warrior ,ronclad).

LOW, FLAT LAND.

Thar wuz man and his name wuZ Brown
Bind he lived bout mile and half from

And this here fellow he WIZ awfully down
In the mouth, for his crap was llken for to

Becuz his 50 was low, flat land.
His very midritf hit aked and panied
As he nOised how the water rained and
rained:
And his drafted 80 hit couldn't be drained.
And his corn wuz yaller and the weeds they
And the tadpoles threatened for to take that
land.
If cloud came up as big as gourd,
Why, that wuz enutf, and hit ripped and
roared,
As if all the water that ever wuz stored
Since the days OF Noah had suddenly poured
On that mizuble 50 of low, fiat land.
The weather buro hit wuz all in a muss
Aud instid of gettin' better the weather got
wuss:
And Brown lowed he wouldn't raise moth
ing but pus-
Ly, and he didn't do nothin but cuss
And NOPE around the edge of that low, fiat
land.
But Missis Brown she usen for to smile,
And she sed she thought that hit want with
while
For human to let their temper Spite
When Providence wanted to misten the soil,
And drip little water on the low, flat land.
And so, while Brown he poked and sum ped
His wife she want particle stumpt;
And into the weeds this woman she jump ped
And all summer long she fairly bumped
Herself to make crap on that low, flat
land
And when the corn getherin' time came
around,
Instid of the crap all gittin drowned,
There wuz 60 to the acre on that low. fiat

And Brown sed he reckoned US how he'd
