Gen. Butler With an Army of 30, 900
Repulsed.

Lieut.. Gen. Sir Redvers Butler, CON-
handing about 80, 600 men, constituting
the main British Army in South Africa,
was defeated on Friday Of last week in a
battle with the Beers at Colenso, Natal.
He attacked the Beers with a view OF
forcing his way TO the relief Of the British
garrison of about 8, 500 men under Maj :
Gen. Sir George Stewart White, who are
besieged at Ladysmith.
The attack, according to Gen. Butler ;
own account, was serious reverse.
He withdrew his troops to Cheyeley, six
miles south of Colenso.
The British losses we're 1887, divided
as follows Killed, 50; wounded, CO..;
missing, 34s. This is the heaviest loss
sustained in any single battle Of the war.
The British also lost IL guns. The Boer
loss has not been made public.
The size of the Boer Army is not sccu-
rately known, but has been estimated at
80. 900 men-the same as the British,
Gen. Pet J. Joubert, the Boer comman
der-in-chief, planned the defense at and
near Colenso, but the dispatches do not
say who led the victorious troops in the
battle. The last heard of Gen. Joubert 5
movements he was sick and had gone to
the Transvaal border for medical treat
ment. Gen. Schalk Burgher is his second

Butler announcing bis defeat
Chepeley CAMP, Dec 15-6. 20 P. NJ
/ regret 10 report serious reverse.
moved in full strength from our camp near
Cheveley at 4 o clock this morning. There
are two fordable places in the Tugela river,
and it was my intention to force passage
through at one of them. They are about
two miles apart.
My intention was to force one or the
Other with one brigade, supported by a
central brigade. General Hart was to at
tack the left drift, General Hildyard the
right road and General Lyttleton was to
take the central and to support either.
Early in the day | saw that Gen. Hart
would not be able to force a passage, and
| directed him to Withdraw He had,
however, attacked with great gallantry,
and his leading battalion, tie Connaugh;
Rangers, fear, suffered a great deal
Col. l. G. Brooke was seriously wounded
| then ordered General Hildyard to adj
vance, which he did, and his leading regi-
ment, the East Surveys, occupied ColensO
Station and the houses near the bridge
At that moment heard that the whole
artillery | had sent to support the attack
the Fourteenth and Sixty Sixth Field Bat
teries and six naval l2-pounder quick
frers, under Colonel Long-had advanced
close to the river in Long desire to be
within effective range. The river bed
proved to be full of the enemy, who sud
denly opened calling FIRE at close range,
killing all their horses, and the gunners
were compelled to stand to their guns
Some of the wagon teams got shelter for
the troops and desperate efforts were made
to bring out the field guns.
The fire, however, was too severe, and
only two guns were saved OF the Is
horses, Is were killed and several drivers
were wounded.
Unsupported by artillery, / directed the
troops to withdraw, which they did in good
order. Throughout the day consider
able force Of the enemy was pressing on my
right flank, but was kept back by mounted
men, under Lord Dundonald and part of
General Barton Brigade.
The day was intensely hot and, most
trying on the troops, whose conduct was
excellent.
We have abandoned 10 guns and lest
by shell fire one. The losses in General
Harris Brigade are, l fear, heavy, al
though the proportion of severely wounded
is, hope, not large
The Fourteenth and Sixty-sixth Field
Batteries also suffered severe losses. We
have retired to our camp at Cheveley.

How supreme is the pleasure of being
able to touch the Wonderful Lamp, though
it be but once year! Santa Claus is the
genial Genie, who implicitly obeys the
child's gentlest touch, and ministers to his
desires in what to children of larger
growth may seem but trifes, but are by
him regarded as imperial luxuries that
natally belong rather to the mystic haunts
of dreamland.
Mighty is the influence of Christmas
when it makes the churl bountiful and
transforms the crotchety cynic into hail
fellow, well met.

Three Pictures of the Horse.
1Frnm Nrnck Evening Journal.N

Picture IA horse left at the door of
store-a look of pain on his face, so tied
up that he cannot turn his head or neck
either way, up or down. He is by the
hour left in this way. This is common
hardship of the horse. Picture "A
horse trotting under the constant strain of
the checkrein, bearing all the time on his
face a look of pain, his nose poking for
ward, his ears loosely falling, nojoy in his
trot. This is the outward suffering of the
checkreined horse. Picture Shook at his
mouth See the foam there. Look in
side and see the rub of the tightly clench-
ed bits. He dares not move his head on
account of pain from the frightened bride
so he rolls his eyes toward you. Study
the bit; look closely at it, and you will pro
badly see that 1t was put on this morning
Just as it was taken off last night, neither
scrubbed nor washed, and thus it was pok-
ed into his mouth. See the dripping from
his mouth-this is from the hard scrape of
irons inside. and Is as unnatural to the
right condition of a horse as Of a man.
