The Death of Count De Villebois-Mareuil

M. de Flera, one of the French volunteers who took part in tho fight at Boshof, ha 3 written an interesting Ktter to 0 >unt Christian do Villebois Mareuil, brother of t ■<* colonel who was killed in that * ctfon. M. de Flers' letter is dated from Boshof. April 6. He says :—

Colonel de Villeboie, commanding a raiding force composed of about 28 Frenchmen, 88 Dutch, and 10 Free State Boer*, was surrounded yesterday in the neighbourncod of BosLof by 1000 English troops led by Lord Cheshauo, These troops had guns and we had n*jne. The fighting began at a quarter to tw", and ended at a quarter to five, ao that we were unable to wait for nightfall to attempt to escape, ai the colonel intended to do. The Frenchmen supporting the colonel »t the top of a kopje; formed the central force. We had four killed and five seriously wounded, without count ing others more or lew badly injured. The Dutch lost three men killed and five badly wounded. One guide was killed. None of the Boera were killed, but they ceased fighting when they saw it was useless to continue. The English charged us with fixed bayonets, and we were obliged to give way to a strong force. Your brother killed an English officer with hi« re volver, and immediately aft rwards received a ballet in the right side. He fell, exclaiming, " I die as a sol dier, my men. You can now hoist the white flag.' On the followit g day the English rendered him military honours ia the Bosbof cemetery, in the presence of Lord Methuen, Lord Oheshana, »nd A great number of officer?. The Oomte de Breda, his orderly offi er,re3ited the Catholic prayers for the dead, and pro aouoced a discourse at the grave We all mourn him. Unfortunately we were cot able to obtain a lead coffin in which to bury bis body, bisfc hie grave will be marked by a cross in the cemetery. I need not add how much we sympathise with you in your sorrow, for I had b«#n able to appreciate all the military qualities as well as the kindheartedness of our regretted chief, whom I did not quit after having delivered to him the documents thofc you were good enough to confide to me at the moment of my departure from Paris on January 23. M. de Breda will hand you the docu taenti, which the English kindly re tamed after the funeral, »nd i shall have the honour of delivering to you the colonel'i travelling bag when I go back to Erance. These are the only material keepsakes that wo h»ve been able to obtain in the confusion of our disaster. AH who took part in the fight are prisoners here, as well as some who were not engaged in the action."

LOWER SIAM.

The party of University i^en to whom, upwards of a year ago, Cam bridge entrusted the commission of exploring the Malay provinces of Lower Siam, have recestly returned to England. The chief interest of the region visited lies in the feet that the greater part of it has been hitherto almost entirely unexplored. Many very intereßtiog incidents occurred during tho progress of the expedition, snid Mr W. W. Skeat, of Cambridge, to a representative of the Daily Mail. At Laiapam two panther cobs, which had been picked out of th'ir nest by the roadside, were being brought up, maternally, V>y a Si&raeso woman, who asserted that she had previously brought up a bear. Travelling now on elephants, and now by means of boats and rafts, tho expedition reached the village of A ring, in the fir interior of the peninsula, whence Mr Skeat, accompanied by sis Malays, went on a scouting expedition to explore the route* to the Tahan Mountain, which is about lG s GoOft high, and got sight of an unrecorded peak called by the Malays ls Coffin Mountain." Seve ral exhibitioDS of devil dancing came under the observation of the party, as well as fights between trained p»rs of bulls and rams, etc. Many jungle people were met and examined. These, Mr Skeat explained, were probably, from an ethnological point of view, the most interesting race of people in the peninsula. Those encountered appeared to be all of the negrito type, with very black skins and curly hair. They use the blow-gun with dirts poisoned by the ssp of the well known upas tree, and by means of these kill birds and monkeys and small game generally, which they eat in a more or less half oooked state. They are one of the most primitive races In the world, and livo like wild beasts in the jungle. The re nts of the expedition have given entire satisfaction;

POULTRY NOTES.

Ohicfeene should not bo permitted to perch too soon, aa crooked breasts will In all probability be the result. All duoklinga should be topped oft witb scalded miik, pollard, potatoes, •nd similar classes of food. Dairy fed ducklings are considered prime. When placing strange cockerels ia a yard with others it would be well also to put an old cock bird in the run ; he of len acts as a peacemaker.

A hen that is " out of her hrad " or, rather, loses the use of the head from apparent dizziness, haa an attack of vertigo—-probably from over feeding of hearty food, and sabifquent indiges tion. B6duce the diet, put her upon " short commons " for a week, with plenty of relaxing or green food, and ■he wiU recover. It ia not serious if you change the diet and bo careful thereafter not to stuff her with too much solid food.

Carbolic powder ia now well known among poultrym«n «s a capital deodo riser and disinfectant, It will destroy vermin upon fowls about as suddenly as will kerosene, when rubbed through the feathers in upon the flesh But the birds themselves dislike the ap* plication of this pungent compound, probably from the f-ct tb-it the tnc ment the powder h fairly shaken into their plumage the iice also begin to exercise themselves violently to get away from contact with it, and their movements en masse are anything but agreeable to the tow], it would appear,
