THOSE BRUTAL BoERs.

The following is an extract from let ter dated Ladysmith, January [, from a Royal army medical corps officer:
 "One of the Boer medical officers rode into us under a Red Cross flag and asked us to go and bury our dead, which, of course, we did. But the sight of those poor fellows lying on the hill, some of them dreadfully riddled with bullets, I can never forget. The Boers were very good; in fact, one would hardly have thought they were enemies. They talked to us quite freely and helped us to dig the graves and to car " our dead There was one very touching incident. After our major had read the burial service one of the Boers stepped out and said short prayer, hoping the war would soon end, and while we stood with heads uncovered, they sang hymn in Dutch. It cut our fellows up very much indeed; in fact, we could hardly speak for some time" London Standard.

POVERTY OF FARMERS LIVES.

The poverty of the lives of these pros-
 porous farmers was revelation to me, even, accustomed as I was to a domes-
 tic simplicity which would surprise modern Americans of any degree. New books were a luxury none of them in- dulged in; beyond the Bible and two or three volumes of general information there was no reading beyond a weekly newspaper, and the diet was such as I had never been used to, even at De Ruy- ter But for the vegetables of the farm, sailors at sea would fare better than these landsmen. In later years I board- ed with one of the farmers in an ad- joining valley, where I was engaged in painting a cascade of great beauty. and for the six weeks I lived in the family I saw only two articles of animal food salt mackerel for breakfast and salt pork for dinner The narrowness of in- tellectual range and the bigotry-politi- cal and eligious-prevailing amongst them was such as l had in no experi- ence ever encountered, even in the "straitest sect of the Pharisees." the Seventh Day Baptist church of my youth.-N.

VESTS STOLEN PIGS.

A story that Senator Vest tells relates to his candidacy for the legislature in 1861 against A. s. Walker. The can vass was exceedingly exciting because of the near approach of war, and all the questions incident to it were discussed with much animation. Charges and counter-charges were made. Both sides knew that about six votes either way would determine the contest, and on the day before election Walker raised the point on Vest that he had stolen some pigs. The only way that Vest could meet the charge was to acknowledge smilingly that he had the pigs in his pen and in his possession. If he had gone further and said that he had bought them-wlsich they hoped he would do--they had witnesses to show that he had not bought them, but Vest was too shrewd to be caught in the trap, and turned the accusation off with laugh and the remark:
 "One can't account for the way his boys get pigs."-St Louis Republic.
