Her ears are large, so. too, her feet and

her friends assert. when the lady's stature
is considered. Her voice is musical. Miss
Chamberlain, as well as many other bean

Had it been in the French Army, says the
Belfast Examiner, the bugler of the Eigh-
teenth Royal Irish Regiment, at the battle
of Tel-el-kebir, would have received the
cross and bugle of honor. This %youngster,
q mere lad, was breast to breast with Major
Hart at the head Of the attacking force.
Turning as he scrambled up the face of
the works, to sound the charging call, a
hostile rifle butt came down on his head,
and he was tumbled back into the ditch.
He staggered to his feet, picked up his
bugle, and followed the red wave, which
had rolled by during his disaster. He got
to the front while the rank and file were
treating the foe to the cold steel, according
TO the prescription OF Sir Garnet Wolseley.
Here he raised a brazen note. but in the
midst Of it was bayoneted in the shoulder
hy Il Nubiau. The Irish boy had lost his
sword in his fall, but he held his bugle in
his fist, aud with this he joined the battle
with his black antagonist, whom he put
down in no time with that point of war"
called in ireland "a hand aud foot 1"
Then, standing over the prostrated cap
tive, he blew a triumphant blast. The
performance is related by Lieut.. Drum
m0nd Wolff, who adds in his letter that
the drollery of the performance set the
soldiers laughing even in tho very thick Of
tina carnage. The feat had more humor
aud not less valor in it than that of the
French drummer at the battle Of the Pyr-
amidS, who had his right hand slashed off
by Il horsemau of the desert, but kept
hammering ths sheepskin with his left.

The VictorIne.

Superintendent Percy 7. Morgan, of the
Victorine Mining Company at Kingston,
who arrived from there last evening, saws
the Austin Reveille, reports everything
quiet and snug for the Winter. The mill
is closed down and will probably remain
so until Spring, avoiding all troubles from
freezing up, ETC., during the next two or
three months. Meanwhile the requisite
assessment work has been done on the
mines of the company, and Mr.. Morgan
Is in town to pay off the men who nave
been employed. He will now await
further Instructions from London, the
headquarters of the company. Advices
thus far are to the effect that the com
pany will be completely organized and
that Cecil Guinness, the managing di
rector, VIC left here for London a couple
OF months age, may start on his return
sometime next month. The Victorine
mine has already proven itself to be of
very good bullion merit, and with its
present matured facilities for ore and
bullion production il will, under the pres
ent management, finally prove a lucrative
investment to It's really fortunate owners.
