A Comparison with Our Civil War

N. Y I'm.
To the Editor of the Sun-Sir:
It seems t. me that Gen. Methune
has been blamed too much for
attacking the Beers at Mayors
fontein. / guess he was to
blame for not knowing the quality
of his own troops than for any
thing else. Suppose the attack had
been made by Stonewall jackson
and his old brigade or Pickett and
his brigade or Meagher and the
Irish Brigade or the troops who
attacked at Cold Harbor or those
who stormed Kenesaw2 Can any
one believe that any Of those
troops would have fallen back
with a loss Of only Z per cent? [,
for my part, believe they would
have carried the Boer position
with a loss of not more than 25
per cent. [ think Pickett lost 80
per cent at Gettysburg. My under
standing is that Methune could
not we'll turn the Boer flank and
was compelled to make an attack
on their front.

COMMENTS.
What He Sees and Hears While
Roaming the Streets.

The Rambler, as he roams the
streets in search of something to
write about, does not always find
funny incidents. o even mate
rial things always. He finds them
in the sunset glows, IN passing
shadows, in the smiling faces Of
children. tsin the air and every-

Yesterday evening in the street
we met a little country boy whose
face was a perfect poem of hap
piness-a study for an artist, a
subject for the pen of Dickens.
He was a sturdy little fellow, such
as are the hope Of father and the
pride ind joy of mother when
rightly reared and appreciated at
home-the bulwark of the coun-
try in the coming years. He caught
our attention as he was looking
down athis own feet. Instantly, we
took it all in and OWNED the su-
preme happiness Of that fleeing
moment in his life. He wore top
boots, perfectly new-perhaps his
first. We paused at the corner and
awaited his approach. He had
made the Rambler a little boy
again and we wished to salute him.
He would look down at his new
boots, and thenzup at the passers-
by in the crowded streets. AS
he approached near enough for
the Rambler to touch him, he
looked up and saw u face and
in it something of sympathy and
comradeship. He greeted us
with the broadcast smile possible
on his cherry face, and we called
to him, "Hello, my little mani
