General Warren has been engaged
all day, chiefly on his left, which he has

The ground is very difficult and as the

Warren's engagement continues. He
has forced the enemy from three posi-

ONLY OUTPOST AFFAIRS.

Main Position of the Beers Not Yet At
tackled.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-The justifable Sc
verify of the censorship at the present
moment prevents the special correspond
ents from giving additional information
to supplement- General Buffers latest
dispatch. The success of the movement
depends almost entirely upon how far
he proves able to outmaneuver the
Beers, whose available forces are doubt
less larger than his own. The chief difz
fculty lies in the ABILITY of the Beers taa u.
transport men, stores and ammunition
quickly and to elt.rnch ncw pc>'5iors.
Secrecy regarding General i.:.H rs
progress, therefore, is essential ::th tA''

The general idea is that Sir Redvers
Butler, with some 5000 men and 1S
field guns, is holding the northern bank
of the Tugcla at Potgieters drift, while
Sir Charles Warren, with about $4,000
men, 80 guns and large force of cav
airy, is working around the right flank
Of the Beers, or 10 miles away.
One account Of Saturdays fighting
says that the British had few killed.
Little reliance can be placed upon these
reports, and although the main position
of the Beers had not yet been attacked
and nothing is known as to it's strength,
Saturdays and Sundays fight, which
can hardly be described as more than
outpost affairs, evidently entailed serious
losses.
The Beers are following their old time
tactics, making show of resistance and
then retreating in good order to pre-
pared positions, and as they are working
from the interior Of their lines they may
be able to bring strong forces to defend
| the main position.

VICTIM OF HIS OWN JOKE.
Some Buzzard Eggs Which Reached q
 Wrong Destinat ton.

This is true story of Sheriff
 Brookshire of Williamson county, Tex
 as, and what came Of his efforts to
 play 2 practical joke on his wife. sher-
 if Brookshire is full Of good nature,
 and the love Of fun is his predominant
 characteristic. To get the laugh on
 friend is to him the next best thing to
 rounding up band Of horse thieves.
 He Is owner of a good-sized ranch, and
 while working out ta a pasture near his
 home some time since came across a
 buZzard9s nest, in which reposed four
 as handsome snow-white eggs as the
 eye of man ever looked upon. The dis.
 eoVery of these eggs immediately set
 nlm to thinking of little game that
 he would play upon his faithful spouse.
 Wrapping them Up with care he bore them to his house, intending to tell
 Mrs. Brookshire that he had been pre- sented with some uneommonly fine egs from fancy breed of chickens, and that it was the proper thing to put them under one Of her setting hens Immediately. He knew how fond she was of having choice specimens of the feathered tribe. and shook with laugh ter as he pictured her disgust when these young buzzards should be matched out. Revolving these merry thoughts, he went into the kitchen to make the presentation It happened that his wife was not there, and he placed them on a table. intending to call her attention to them later. Just at this time he was called out Of his dom1eile on very important business, and the matter was of consequence enough to drive all thoughts of the joke out of his head. He stayed away couple of hours and when he reached home supper was ready Being rather hungry from his tramp in the pasture, the sheriff sat down to the table and ate with good relish the viands before him. Suddenly the recollection of his find flashed across his mind. My dear said he, when I left the house awhile ago put some eggs on the ta- bic wonder. Did you get them?'' T certainly did, and you have just eaten them for your supper quoth Mrs. Brookshire. Why, what on earth ails you?" as the sheriff clapped both 1 hands about the middle Of his corpor- osity and rushed for the open air. She thought, maybe, that he had been sud- denly seized with a fit of some kind, and follow d to render assistance, It took him several hours to recover, but Ee has utterly renounced practical iok- | ing.-Washington Post.

Distribution or the Moose.

The Field says the American elk, CT moose, reaches as far south as 40 de- grees north latitude, and inhabits all the forests from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The animal is found from Kenway and Alaska to Kotzebue sound; also along the Mackenzie rtv. CT, and near the sources of the Elk river in the Rocky mountains is es- pecially common. Although in the case of an animal inhabiting wide stretches of country, it is premature to speak Df it's extinction, yet the case of the American bison should teach us how soon a numerously rep resented species may be wiped off from the face of the earth if once left to the tender mereies of so-cal1ed sports men seized with a mania for big bags
