WITTY MIND OF THE AMER.

The ameer, who is diligent student
of things English, has compared the
imperial parliament TO the Kabul Turk

like the Kabul Turkish bath? Mr.
Frank Martin, who was the ameer's
listener when the comparison was
made, could not guess, because he had
not been there. The ameer. says the
London News, would not be drawn. but
simply advised Mr.. Martin to go 10 the

BOTH SIDES RAN AWAY.
The Euxiisb aud the Burghers Re-
treated from Each Other IN
Hot Haste.

Young II jalmar Reitz, son of the
Transvaal secretary OF state. who is out
with the burghers, has been sending to
friends in Holland an account of his
experiences at the battle of Modder
river, says the London Daily News. Spe-
cially interesting is the confirmation
given by him of that strategic move
Inent to the rear, for the skillful ex-
ecution of which some of the Free
Staters were reported to have been aft
crward publicly whipped by their I'M
grateful allies.
Reiiz says: 1T is perfectly true;
they were the men from Fauresmith.
When the English. in the afternoon,
tried TO get across The river on the left
flank, they were completely successful,
for the Fauresmithers had already
gone. As Il consequence, Albrechts
guns narrowly escaped falling into the
cnemy's hands, but he managed TO shell
them back. Toward nightfall the Eng
fish retired, but. to cover the retreat of
their infantry, kept up a heavy fire.
This the burghers did rot under
stand, and as just then some one shout

sounds Heard in "a Balloon.
Mr.. j. NJ. Bacon, the Englishman, who
, with his daughter made n lofty balloon
ascent 10 observe the meteor shower
last November. tells some interesting
things about the sounds that reached
their ears. At the height of 5000 feet
the ringing of horses feet on hard
road could be heard At 1000 feet the
splashne sound made by ducks in "a
pond was audible. The barking of dogs
and the growing Of cocks could be heard
at 1890 or 5000 feet. These sounds PEN
etrated through u white floor of cloud
which hid the earth from sight. In
| the perfect silence Of the air around
the balloon they were startled by what
seemed stenlthy footsteps close az hand

ropes and the yielding of the silk as
the balloon continued TO expand.
