Pampering Boer Prisoners

GAIETIES AND SOCIAL FETES i

A correspondent of the Daily Graphic writ»« :— At the present time, when the Boers are adopting Anarchical methods of warfare, the following Setter extract from a reeponsible scarce m Ceylon may be of iuterest. The South Afrioaa tide of the pioture shows bhe Boars laying dynamite on the railway over Which Geflerai Kitchener wan to pass ; the reverts or Ceylon tide, shows the imprisoned Boer Generals being sumptuously entertained »t Government House* and a special hospital •hip fitted oat ab great expense m order that aomt> fifty burghers, convalescent from tnear -1», may be taken for a week's trip round the Slpiop island :— 'I do not kaow how the genera! home publics feels abou> the gaieties specially or* ranged at Government Bouse m Ceylon to do honour to Boer Generals, pub as an official whose posibiom necessitates my going to official heaacjuarterp,, I share strongly the <rtaw of many of my colleagues that it is an aowarrantabte thing for us to be forced to meet In comtanb social intercourse, and be •xpected to Bhow honour to the enemies of ear country, who have been nominally out lawed to Oayltm as persons dangerous to the Umpire. lo our ofKciaS capaoity we are booed to accept Invitations bo Government Hauie, where we are expected to treat these Boer prisoners at distinguished and honored guests. They are taken on special trips to •it the points of Interest In the island, and made to feel important 'personages,' In fact, they are having & splendid time all round. They are allowed to board th« looomiog transports, full of Boer prisoners from South Africa, talk wish, and welcome tkeir brother biirghera, tell them the latest Dawf, and raoeive an ovation of cheers from their ex fellow fighters. "Ceylon is fairly disgusted. We thought the climax was reached when grand pianos were furnished to the Boar camp. The l&teiit luxury, however, is the aostiy fitting nub of « hospital ship to take fifty sturdy .B?ers convalescent from measlsa for a week's trip round Ceylon. Such a thing has never been done for our own sick soldiers. The wives and delicate children of our fighting T®mnsie« are kept year m year out) is Col ombo. Soldiers are sent occasionally to Newara Ebjt for up country change; bub no married quarters are provided In the hills, so that Tommy's wife and family remain for some three* consecutive yean m Colombo with no change of air untees they choose to take and p&j for it em their own account. I am told that this little tour will cost up wards of £1000. Ido not vouch |for this, as, so far, I have had no official information; but £ *;hink this is a modest estimate. We are hoping Borne questions will be asked iv the House of Commons as to this sooial feting of Boer ringleaders."

A PROPHECY FULFILLEDI

{From' United Australia ' In January 1871, M Thtera made the fol~ lowing remarkable prophecy ;•— M Whenever Engiand ia m oonfiiot with a foreign power Europe will ccc her oaSoniee rally and 00-operate with her. Without the sligibest expense to her they wit! equip their tolditri, their only ambition beicg to show | their close union with her and to demonstrate that) their strength and energy are at her disposal, Jaife as her lesourooi are ab theirs, I predict this In spite of your Bmile of in prednlifey and albhout" perhaps none of as will live to witpast it.

Romantic Story of a Duel;

The Gttutois stages thab a duel lately took ptaoe between a marquis and a count, both Ispaatards. The cenmt was a deadly shot, aad at Itee duel was to be fought with pistols bba asoiher of the marquie, who was passion* fttely attached to her eon, visited her Boa's opponent on the eve of the fight and prayed hißi not to aim ab her aoii The count yielded to tie? entreaties, and promised to aim away from her eon. The duel came off m the morning, and the oouat, true to hie promise, aimed away from his opponent, bub the buliefc, striking a stone m bhe ground, re bounded and hit the marquis m the bead j killing him instantly. The mother, on feeariog the news, went raving imd, and the eociafe was so overcome that he has entered* a moaaßtsry of bhe White Friars' with" a view to taking the vows of that Order. The •tory of the duel haa caused s great sensation la Spanish society, but the names of the persons concerned are so far kept from public knowledge^

It is^leo mixed with loss labor and germinates'a week soone than when dreeeed wi h blaestone. M. Stitt I have naed your Wheat Protector, also B'.Qcstona both on the same paddock, and am much pleased with your Protector as a much better pieventivd of smut than Bluestone. James McLean, Cairnbrae. I have ranch pleasure m testifying to yju as agenfs m Canterbury for Clarke's Carbolizjd Wheat Protector, that I used B%ikg last season as a dr«s ing tor Wheat, Oats, ard Barley, with the most eat! fac. Tory repulfs. Tho seed dressed with Clarke'a Wheat Protector germinated much sooner, and the beard appeared more s^'ong mcl healthy fhm that on which I used Bluest one. I Intend again to use Clarke's Protocto? during the coming season Geobge Grant, Farmer, Southbridge. I am pleased fo inform you that the Clarke's Wheat Protector I obtained from you test season has proved successful,, being superior to bines tone m every way. The latter dressing only gave 5 bushels per acre, whereas the Wheat Protector ! gave 18 bushels. Ifc fs a preventive againstjSmnt and the small birds nuisance, and I shall continue to use it.—Yours sincerely, Jas. Shown, Horarata. I have mach plea°ure m stating that I used Clarke's Carbolized Wheat Protector on Tuscan Seed Wheat sown on my f<«m near Sonthbridge; 1\ wcr^s with Bluestone, 23 ecres with Clatke'a Wheat Protector, with the following resuUs, v:ss:—That dressed with the Carbolized Protector eeemed 'o come away much qaicker than that dressed with Biuestone, and np to reaping time was a better crop, and would undoubtedly yield more bushels to the acre. In sowing grain of any time this seascn I should use Clarke's^ Protector m preference to any of her dressing Wiluam Habfis, Farmer, Souihbridge. I have used D. Clarke's Carl Vised Wheat Protector on Se?d Barley on Mr WHl'.am Anderson's Farm, L»ke?ide. I noticed the seed dressed with Clarke's Protector germinated much sooner than the seed dretsed wMi Bluestone, and the birds did nt pull the plant so much wl:en dressed with the Carbolized Protector as that done with Bluestone, j James Bentley. I I wish to testify to the efficient effect of Clarke's Wheat Protector. I had never haa such clean wheat before, and out of eleven thousand bushels I have not seen one smutted head I also reckon that I saved £ bushel per acre m seed, -Yours tru'y, James Gubseli,, Tinwald.
