The Matabele Rising.

London, April 17 ' Mr Chamberlain stated that a battalion of the First Middlesex Regiment and a body of Cavalry will reinforce the Natal troops operating m Matabeland, also that it was inten ded to permanently increase the garri- i son at Capetown, as at present it was inadequate to defend the coaling station ! there. There were, he said, ample men J and arms to repress the rebellion, and the only difficulty was the transport of provisions and horses. April 18 The Times' special reports by wire that cannon, Maxim guns and rifles are flowing into the Transvaal. This, he considers, only indicates that war is imminent, bat he anticipates no danger from the natives. He adds that, m the event of a racial war, the Transvaal will have 15,000, the Orange ' Free State 20,000, and the Cape and : Natal 15,000 Boers. ' The Tt'mes considers that the outlook m South Africa is grave. Many newspapers complain that Sir Hercules Robinson, is under Afrik ander influence, and that he prevented Mr Chamberlain from sending adequate reinforcements. Capetown, April 18 There is a large impi within six miles of Buluwayo, and looting parties are within half an hour's march of the place. Lobengula's crack regiment too is near. Fearing insidenative treachery the residents are searching for arms. The food supply is critical, but eighteen provision waggons are within sixty miles of Buluwayo. The local sugges tion to apply to the Transvaal for help has not been adopted. The rebel natives slaughter those remaining loyal to the British. Bschuanaland chiefs are helping the British transports. Four hundred mounted infantry have been sent from Natal. April 19. A Buluwayo patrol was attacked, and after two hours' fighting fifty of tbt enemy were killed. Anxiety for those inside the laager is increasing. The Chartered Company state they have 600 men to defend them. Pretoria, April 18 Mr Chamberlain has informed President Kroger that the despatch of troops is no departure from his friendly policy. Berlin, April 18 There is a revival of a bitter anti- British tone m the German Press respecting the Transvaal.

Dr Barnardo's Homes.

In Night and Day for February Dr Barnardo writes : — Have my readers a clear conception of what the Homes are really doing? Let me commend to them a moatbful of hard facti and figures ! From the inception of the work m 1866 up to 81st December, 1895, no fewer than 28,491 "unwanted " children have been saved through the .agency of these Homes from suffering, vice and crime. During 1895 we dealt with 11,861 separate cases of child misery, of whom 2,501, being absolutely destitute and home less, 'were at once admitted. 95 of these latter were babies under three years of age ; 7 L were deaf and dumb, blind or little incurables; 303 were great youths, homeless and friendless, who found shelter within the Labour House; and 211 were young girls, " saved so as by fire " from the black army of the city streets. In addi tion to all this, the Homes, through their " Ever-open Doors " m the Pro vinces, and through their Lodging Houses m the deeps of London slum dom, supplied 52,246 nights' lodging* and 99,526 free meals m the course oi the year; During 1895 also thej emigrated to Oanada and the Coloniei 733 trained boys and girls, bringing up the total number of emigrants f ron the Homes to 8043. ThU is what w< are doing, *nd at a cost of about £14( per day to supply the inmates witl food alone. Voluntary contribution! from God's servants the wide worl( over sent m m answer to prayer an< to a knowledge of our needs, are tb< loleiource of income.

A Spook Story.

The Dunedin correspondent of the Taieri Advocate is responsible for the following : —"A most remarkable occurrence is said to have taken place at a spiritualistic stance held m Dunedin recently. One of those present had lost a near and dear relatire and was ' anxious to ascertain, if possible, if any indication could be given as to the state of the departed one. After three unsuccessful attempts 'to obtain any response to the queries, a vision of the deceased appeared at a icance and answered questions put by the relative present. A gentleman present assures me that he saw the apparition with his own eyes, and that there could not possibly be any trickery. In other ways the presence of the departed one was manifested, and my informant states that the whole thing was one of the moat extraordinary he has ever seen, although he has been a staunch believer m spiritualism for several years. The occurrence created quite a sensation among those to whom details were given, and although many are inclined to think that the whole thing has been an hallucination it has set others seriously thinking whether there is not something m the spiritualistic theory after all."
