BATTLE WITH THE Beers.
flow The British Forces we're
Defeated in South Africa.

LONDON, February H. Dispatches
from Durham admit a great British
defeat. Yesterday the Standard gave
the following description of the fight:
THE enemy were on horseback when
FIRST seen, but upon she'll taking effect
among them at some 1900 yards dis
lance they rode of, and, having. dis
mounted, under cover behind the hills
opened fire. From twelve o'clock
until dusk it was a rife duel under
cover. Our guns from time to time
took part in 1t, but the enemy's IRE
was so severe that it was" impossible to
work the guns continually, the men
falling ALMOST as soon as they stood
up, with the sole exception of Lieutep,
ant Parsons, who was wounded late in
the day.
A sEvERE CONFLICT.
Every officer, driver, gunner and
horse in the battery was hit. Shortly
after the action began the guns we're
completely silenced for an hour. Some
OF the infantry then assisted. One
piece was thus kept in action through.
out the day, but it was a dangerous
duty, and these serving it had contin.
ualiy to be replaced, The guns we're
actually whitensd all over with the
marks Of the bullets, and for anybody
to stand up beside them was certain
death. The enemy occasionally crept
up to within two hundred yards of the
position, but never attempted a rush.
The greater portion Of the fighting was
at a distance Of six or seven hundred
yards.
ADMIRARLR TACTICS OF THE BoERs.
THE tactics of the Beers are des
cribed as admirable. They moved
from flank to flank, opening FIRE time
after time from unexpected positions,
For our men to advance and charge al
the point of the bayonet was quite i'm
possible, for they would all have been
shot down before reaching the enemy,
The fight was one Of rifles, where .hS
Beers were vastly superior to oui
troops.

stealing a guitar. She claimed to have
bought the guitar, which was worth
about forty dollars, from a boy on the
street, paying him a nickel for it. She
then sold it to a second hand dealer
for seyenty-6ve cents. The court was
disposed to rive her the benefit Of I
doubt, but additional evidence to the
effect that she had sold a stolen coat
to the same dealer was enough to
make her guilt plain. She was sent
to jail in default Of bail.

CHAPTER 1.-THE PICNIC DANCE.

CHAPTER 1.-THE PICNIC DANCE.
A fine spring, after winter of un-
usual severity, promised well for the
prospects of the London season.
Among the social entertainments of
the time general curiosity was excited
in the little sphere, which absurdly
describes itself under the big name of
society, by the announcement of party
to be given by Lady Loring. bearing
the quaint title OF a picnic dance. The
invitations were issued at an unusually
early hour, and it was un nderstood that
nothing so solid and SO commonplace as
the customary supper was to be offered
to the guests. In word, Lady Lor-
ing's ball was designed as bold
protest against late hours and heavy
midnight meals. The younger people
were all in favor If the proposed reform.
Their elders declined to give an opinion
beforehand.
In the small inner circle OF Lady
Loring's most intimate friends it was
whispered that an innovation in the
matter of refreshments was contemplated
which would put the tolerant principles
of the guests to severe test. Miss
Notman, the housekeeper, politely
threatening retirement on a small
annuity, since the memorable affair of
the oyster omelette, decided on carrying
out her design when she heard that
there was to be no supper. "My at
tachment to the family can bear a great
DEAL" she said. "But when Lady
Loring deliberately gives ball, with
out supper, I must hide my head
somewhere-an it had better be out of
the house" Taking Miss Notman as
representative of class, the reception
of the coming experiment looked, to
say the least of it, doubtful.
On the appointed evening the guests
made one agreeable discovery when
they entered the reception rooms-they
were perfectly free to amuse themselves
as they liked.
The drawing rooms were given up to
dancing, the picture gallery was devoted
to chamber music. Chess.players and
card-players found remote and quiet
rooms especially prepared for them.
People who cared for nothing but talk
ing were accommodated to perfection in
o sphere of their own. And lovers lin
