breach OF confidence. Sailors are MOI
diplomats who use language to con
ccal thought" Nor eau they always
distinguish between case IN which
offensive language Is ooen to grave
censure, and another case where the
same language would be- regarded as
highly patriotic.
As members OF the sovereign people
who rule in America they have the
right to express opinions on all pub
lie matters. but as officers OF the gov
ernment they are under bonds to be
discreet and must surrender their in
dependence. The members OF Congress
indulge in the most offensive Language
in commenting upon the conduct Of
foreign nations. but as they cannot be
held responsible for words spoken In
debate, foreign nations accept these Of
fensive remarks as a necessary part Of
the government by democracy.
Until recently. when John Bull and
Brother Jonathan fell on each others
necks, and each tenderly said TO the
other, you are indeed my long lost
brother!" any officer civil or military
sealed his patriotism and became pop
ular by abusing the English, that Is,
by "twistlng the tail OF the British
lion" But since John Bull kindly
turned his back to the American sup
ply ships and shut his eyes while sup
plies for Dewey's feet were quietly
struggled out OF Hongkong. contrary to
the law Of neutrality, the pastime OF
twisting the tail has been suspended,
and offensive remarks made by prom
inent officers would be sharply re-
bukeS.

for expressin OF yourself TO my face"
No doubt the nation Is a little out OF
temper with the Germans for the mo-
ment, but It will soon recover its se-
renity and find that the Germans will
stand beside It in the march OF prog
rcss, because the Germans love liberty,
and are already large part OF the
bone and sinew OF the American COM
monwcalths. The Admiral and the
Captain will be hereafter reserved and

Parade, restI" the Chaplain stepred out
and, raising his hands. said, "Let us pray"
and every face bowed reverently. A short
prayer, and then in a few sentences he
spoke the words that made Bob and Tflly
man and wife; the Corporals meantime
holding the old war-worn flags directly over
the bridal couple. For Bob, brave fellow,
had asked that he might be married under
the folds of the flags that he had carried
50 gallantly, and the Colonel in acknowledge
ment of his faithful services had consented
to his request. and had also accorded to him
the grand honors.
AS the Chaplain finished the ceremony
Bob stood irresolute, not knowing what to
do next, when Corpl Ross in a whisper
that was heard by half the regiment, called
to him, "De right flank, by file left, Bob!''
and the bridegroom, quickly taking his
cue, led his bride from the square amid the
widest enthusiasm of the whole regiment
There was carriage waiting for them,
and as Bob awkwardly assisted Tilly into
It, Mrs. Bowen, shaking him by the hand,
said in a voice full of emotion:
MY good Bob. last year your Christmas
gift TO your ole missus' brought health
and happiness to our family. May our
Christmas gift to you this year bring to you
the long and happy life you SO deserve

There was kiss that sounded like the
crack of pistol. and general smile from
the spectators.
The Admtant said. "Col. Bowen, if
your party viii accept the use of this Office
for a little while, Will try to provide seats
for you." and departed on his errand.
The Orderly had spread the news that
= Bob's old master had come TO take him back
to the Eastern Shore, and the regiment
was fairly buzzing with excitement. One
thing they quickly decided, and that was
that Serg't Bob should never go an inch,
except of his own free will. They would
fight first, right then and there. But their
combative ardor was allayed when they
saw Bob come out of the Adjutant's Office
with Tilly leaning on his arm, followed
by Col and Mrs. Bowen and Lieut.. Robbie
and Miss Julie. The party STOPPED in

standing. Bob removed the covers from
the stained and tattered flags, and proudly
pointed to the bulletmarks, and explained
the blood d-stains. AS he did so both Cot
Bowen and his son removed their hats
Among the soldiers an immediate revolu-
ton of sentiment took place. After the
departure of his friends Serg't Bob had a
long conference with the Adjutant The
Colonel and Chaplain also came in and
joined in the discussion.
That afternoon the regiment was ordered
to be ready for dress parade at o'clock,
and Corp1 Ross of the Color Guard was told
to take the National flag. The regiment

to the center of the battalion, instead of

his part caused a chucIlling among the
men, and when he commanded, ''Preser t

saw early in the day that Hart would not
be able to force a passage and directed hlm

naught Rangers suffered greatly. Hid

desperate efforts were made to bring OIL the
two were saved. OF 1S horses, 13 were
killed, and as several of the drivers were
wounded, Butler would not allow another
attempt to bring off the guns.

life IN an effort to force passage unsup-

one lost by shell fire. Butler retired to
Chiveley; the Beers on the right flank being
kept back.
The scene of this battle is about halfway
between Estcourt and Ladysmith, near the
railroad. Most of the heavy fighting has
occurred in this immediate neghborhood.
Gen. Butler reports that his losses We're;

METHUEN's DEFEAT.

The news of the second severe defeat
came to the world outside Of South Africa
on Dec. Il. when a report by Lord Methuen
announced that on Monday lie met with a
serious check and suffered heavy losses at
NagersfOntein, on the way to kimberley.
The first news that came was on the ] tn,
when it was announced through b ,er
sources that the British We're advancing
from Modder River, after fight on the 10th
in which Cronje had captured 90 British
soldiers.

fighting would take place at Magersfontein,

House on Saturday. Many members
spoke. There was one lively point in the
debate. Mr.. Brown. of Ohio, resented a
slight upon the memory OF the late Presi-

earlier in the day. Mr.. Brown paid a
counting his service during the war, his
elevation to high office in his State. and to
the Presidency, the purity of his private
life, and the universal esteem in which
he said he was held by those who knew
him.
In reply Mr.. Clark declared that Mr.
HAYES was counterfeit President" for
whom he had a supreme CONTEMPT, even
though he was dead. HE stole the Presi-
