STRONG LANGUAGE FROM A MINISTER.

The Minister for Education in New South Wales, Mr Ferry, addressing a number of te ihers who are going to •South Africa as members of the second contingent, remarked that it had been said that there were some men in tbe public service who did not hold with the British cause in South Africa. "If I knew," said the Minister, with much warmth, st that there waa a man in the Public Instruction Department who expressed sentiments of that sort there would be a lively time for him." He advised the volunteers, if they came across a spy or a traitor, not to shoot him, but tie a rope round his neck, and drown him like a dog. These state ments were received with enthusiasm
