behind the cemetery, and the Saerem-
burg echelon will carry the kopje by
assault and will occupy it. From there
1t will hold the two kraals
z z, where the English encamped in
the market place in Boshof itself could
make the first attempt at resistance.
In no case. for an easily understood
reason, will it fire upon the town. Fir
Ing, moreover. can only be carried out
by volleys discharged by word of COM
mand given by the head of each group.
Continuing their march, the two
other echelons will pass well behind
the kraals and will attack the English
camp outside of the town. In this eff
feet the French echelon, after firing
two volleys, will advance at the charge
with the cry, 'Transvaal and Free
Slater and viii thus complete the pam
&c. As there are no bayonets the rifles
will be kept loaded and carried under
the arms at the position of the charge.
After having crossed the camp from
the east to the south the rout will be
accomplished by firing.
Lieutenant Books echelon will re-
main under the orders of the general as
a reserve should the Beers placed on
the Kimberley road on the kopje G
have to deal with the fugitives. He
could also render assistance if the
enemy issuing from Boshof should en-
deavor to turn the attack. He would
then be informed of this eventuality by
Field Cornet Coleman, who will cover
the left of the attack in such manner
as to observe all that may be- menaced.
For this purpose the Afrikanders will
conform TO the general movement of
the march of approach and retire as
soon as the attack begins on the west
of the English camp to a distance suit
able for observation.
ITO facilitate recognition the brim of
the hats will be covered with a white
handkerchief.
1.-The meagerness of our information
does not permit of even an approxi-
mate estimate of the English force.
The forces in Boshof seem. however, to
be between 800 and 400 men. Whatev-
er happens the assailants should re-
member that their moral superiority is
overwhelming, and even in the event
of retreat they can easily, covered by
the darkness, regain their horses and
retire from Boshof without risk"

DUMB BOY MAY TALK.
Remarkable Operation on n Cleft
Palate Is Successful.

Nathan Hale Prior, aged 6. the son
of Plainville parents, the other day at
the New Haven hospital uttered vocal
sounds for the first time since his
birth, says the New York World. This
was the result of a remarkable opera
ton for the restoration of n cleft pal
ate. 1t is believed that he will learn to
talk as soon as he can control the
sounds which he makes.
Similar cases have been remedied by
the insertion Of an artificial palate of
metal. Recently surgeons conceived
the idea of closing the aperture by the
use of the flesh around the palate. Por-
lions of the flesh were forced out and
the palate pressed into a natural form.
The result of the operation has been
watched with interest by the hospital
physicians, who announced their sue
cess the other day when the boy for
the first time uttered gurgling sounds
which closely resembled words.

WAR CONTINUES.

A veal ago 1t was confidently expected that the war in South Africa would be ended by Christmas. Another Christmas is almost here and the war is still going on. General Dew.t and General Botha each have considerable atmies and their activity precIudes the possibility of greatly reducing the large South African army. The war in the Transvaal promises to con tlnue as long as our own conflict in the Philippines
 The task of conquering a thoroughly aroused people is not a small one, even where the people are scarce and the oppos- ing armies strong. It took the union armies more than four years to whip the people of the south into submission. If the Boers show the same spirit as was manifested by the confeder4tes they will continue the war for a long time yet. While they are not as numerous as the Americans of the south were they are a sufficient distance away from the English Base of supplies to, in great measure, make up for it.

The conviction of James Slorah for mur- der at Dawson in less than one month from the commission of the crime, recalls q marked difference between the execution of criminal law in Canada and the United States. Those charged with crime and the witnesses in the case are frequently kept in confinement in the United States for month after month before the tlal of the case And this is not an isolated case. Dawson recently furnished an example more to the point than the SIorah case Alexander King shot and killed Homer Davenport on July IS He was executed October ?. less than three months after ward, and the higher courts had in the meantime been appealed to. There are two men at Sitka under sentence of death whose crimes were committed more than year ago. One of them was more than two years ago, and there is little likllhood that Marshal Shoup will have any one to hang for some time yet, and it may be not during his term of office.

AMERICAN POLITICS.

Perhaps no people in the world take as much interest in politics as do the Ameri- cans. Every four years, for months before the date of the presidential election. buS- ness is all but suspended Lawyers, doe tors. bankers, farmetS and preachers quit their regular avocatons and go on the stump. Great fir anciers cease giving at tention to stocks and bonds and devote their energies to raising campaign funds. Newspapers discuss but little less than politics. In fact nothing else is news at that particular time. Farmers leave blows and reapers to rust in the fields and put in their time at ratification meetings and at the corner grocery "argufyng" the poIiti- cal issues. It is little wonder that foreign CTS say that Americans go politically mad each leap year"
 But the election ends it all. Onte the ballots are cast and the election story told the people pick up the thread of their daily avocatons as though nothing had hap pened. The members of the defeated party accept the result without question. In no country in the world do people re- cover their senses after an exciting cam paign as in the United States, Already the election of 1900 Is as much a part of the history of the past as is that of ISo6.

millions OF people.
The western delegates went home with
the feeling that they have the hearty

action which will open to settlement a
half a continent, capable Of supporting
fifty million people. They cannot but
feel that this support is growing. that II

that many people are realizing that

The right to smooth the brow OF care
And whisper confer. in despair.

To sooth and cheer the bed OF death;
The right, when earthly hopes all fail
To point TO that within the vail.
The right the little ones to guide
In simple faith To Him who died
With earnest love and gentle praise
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right the intellect to train,

And wing its fight 10 heavenly Joys.
